BLIND LOVE

Not fine

Marinette's PoV
Dealing with loss is never easy...someone that has been with you for a long time, has guided you...I can't do this without him...Master Fu...i will miss you, forever, and always...I just, can't imagine what's Tikki must be feeling.
I wake up, late at night, and see Tikki talking to someone on the phone.
"Tikki?"
"Oh no! My owner's awake! Hang on, bye Plagg!" Tikki hangs up and before I can see who she was talking to, she deletes it.
"Damn it Tikki, who was it?"
"It was Plagg..." she sniffs.
I sadly smile, "is this about...Master Fu?"
She nods. Playing out my hand, I let her fly into my hands, which were cupped, like a little bowl for her to sit in.
"I can't believe he's gone," she cries, "Master Fu...he has been there since I can remember. And I've been there for him! I may be older than him, but he was like a dad to me...do you know what I mean?"
"I do, he meant a lot to all of the kwamis...ad now, I, we, have to protect them..."
I use my pinky finger and wipe her tears.
"Come on, let's sleep..."
She nods. I watch Tikki, who lies down and falls asleep. Letting out a sigh of relief, I head out through my hatch to my balcony. Looking into the distance, I start to cry. I let it all out. This responsibility is too much...and all my personal problems build on top of it. Speaking of, I don't know what I'm going to do with my Luka and Adrien situation...shall, shall I still reject Luka? I grab my phone and see what a mess I am...I'm a mess...and I hate myself so much.
In the distance, I see an akuma and I gasp, "h-how-"
Just then, a familiar figure appears and cataclysmes it. His head turns and I duck down behind the bars. Nothing... letting out a sigh of relief, I stand up, only to hear a mocking voice, "why hello~~~ princess..."
I turn whilst I wipe my tears. He gasps.
"Hey, who hurt you?" He asks as he tries to hug me. I separate myself from his embrace.
"It-it doesn't concern you...just leave me alone Chat..."
Worryingly, he nods, "please don't cry princess, I'm leaving ok?"
I nod. Heading back inside, I immediately get an idea and grab a needle and white thread. I seize my top and hand-embroider on it the initials ".M.F."
Then I grab the flower patterns that I already had on my top and take the smaller ones.
"Perfect..."

The next day, I surprise Tikki.
"It's in memory of Master Fu...is it alright?"
Tikki tearfully nods, "of course Marinette! It's wonderful! Don't forget your jacket!"
I giggle and put on my jacket, so that nobody at school will see it. I head down for breakfast.
"Morning dear, oh my, have you been crying?"
I gasp, shocked, "no! N-no way..."
Mom frowns, "ok...umm...let's watch the news..."
I nod and grab the controller, whilst having some toast.
"Breaking news: Adrien Agreste has a girlfriend! Girls, get ready to have your hearts broken! Adrien had been seen yesterday with his friends, including Kagami Tsurugi, who he was sharing one of André's famous ice creams! However, at close examination, the ice cream did not resemble the two, like it normally does...anyways, congratulations to Adrien!"
Mom and dad look at me and I shrug, "oh well, congrats to them..."
Leaving the house abruptly, I walk to school without looking up.
"Whoah, whoah, you ok Marinette?"
I look to my side and see Luka. I smile and nod.
"Yeah...yeah, I'm fine..."
He raises his eyebrows.
...
"Ok, I'm not fine. I'm not fine at all."
Whilst he hugs me, I cry in his arms, "there's just so much happening and I can't tell you, I'm sorry..."
He nods, "it's ok...that's what I'm here for..."
Shaking my head, I step back, "I'm...going to go to the bathroom, I'll see you around?"
He smiles slightly and nods. Pecking his cheek, I head to the bathroom and wash my face. However, I hear someone on the phone.
"Mom, can we not go to New York? I can't go here!"
"Oh hush Claudette! Just be strong, do that thing your father always goes on about, and applaud?"
"An apology? No way!"
"Yes, that's what it's called! Anyways Cleo, I've got to go dear, bye!"
"Bye..."
I gulp. Oh gosh...I dry my face and am about to rush out when she comes out.
"You're here to laugh at me aren't you?"
Blinking, I shake my head, "NO WAY! Chloe, I-I'm Sorry..."
"You're sorry? To me, the tyrant of the school?"
I nod.
"Why?"
I smile and pay her shoulder, "you're not a bad person. I'll tell you one person who is..." looking under the stalls and around, I whisper, "Lila. You, have good intentions, kinda...you're...there's a reason why you do all this...and once you've solved it, you can be happier...and we'll open you wide into our arms and help you, y'know..."
Chloe blinks and gulps, "whatever, you're being utterly ridiculous..." she looks around, "...but thanks for the apology I guess..."
"Also, I'm sorry for manipulating you that one day, Horrificator..."
She glares, "that was horrible...but I understand..."
"I know, sorry-you understand?"
Nodding, she sighs, "shall we?"

Adrien's PoV
"I hope Marinette is fine..." I say to Plagg as we walk in.
"She'll be fine, god, stop thinking about other girls because here comes your girlfriend..." he says to me as he hides into my jacket. I turn and see Kagami. Smiling, I hug her.
"Hey Adrien!"
"Hey Kagami, what's up?"
She smiles, "nothing, see you at fencing, hm?"
I nod, "oh, also, have you seen Marinette?"
I hear Plagg whisper, "kid, are you crazy?!"
Kagami's expression is still, "no, why?"
"She, last time I saw her, she was really sad, I just wanted to check on her-"
"No, I didn't Adrien..." she says bluntly, before walking away.
"Ahhh, kiiiid," Plagg whines, "how do you not know that Kagami will be sensitive about other girls..."
I confusingly shrug, "I didn't realise, anyways, let's go find Marinette..."
Plagg sighs again.
Walking into school, I see Marinette and...Chloe?! What are they doing together?
I run over.
"Hey guys, what's up?"
Marinette looks at me and says, "nothing...what's up with you?"
"Huh?" I ask. Chloe stifles a laugh and Marinette smirks.
"What the~-"
Chloe puts on her still face, "well...Marinette, you really can be salty, I love that for you."
Marinette smirks, "why thank you-"
"Wait, I'm so confused, are you two friends?"
"Eh, kinda," Chloe says. Marinette beams.
"You mean it Chloe?"
She shrugs and sits down. Sitting next to Nino, I say, "I officially don't understand females..."
Nino and Alya laugh.
