The Convenient Marriage (MLB Fanfiction) COMPLETE✔

Chapter 63

"Good morning~"

  Adrien heard her voice vividly. He remembered how warm it always sounded in the morning, he remembered the smell of sweet bread she always baked whenever he had to be up for work. He missed her smile, he missed her large blue eyes, he missed the way she scrunched her freckled nose whenever he tossed the blankets on her during a warm evening.

He missed the sound of her voice, he missed the softness of her skin and he missed the smell of her strawberry shampoo. 

It had been a solid three months since he had last heard from Marinette and his tight schedule made it even more difficult to try and find her. She never answered any of his calls, or her texts. He was desperate to leave a voicemail but her inbox was full. 
Adrien felt entirely too helpless. 

  As the weeks went on, he found himself unable to sleep, he felt too anxious to eat and Adrien often found himself clinging to his phone for any sort of answer from his wife.

Despite still being legally married, Adrien wanted to end things on good terms if she didn’t want to be with him again. 

   She deserved to know the truth about what had happened that night, and Adrien deserved to at least clear his name.

He still had some contact with Kagami, and much to her dismay, all Adrien ever did was put off going over to her place to help her move, hence her continuing to live in Paris where she continued to coincidentally bump into him whenever he was at the studio. 

   Adrien sat up, the moonlight casting an eerie glow to his skin. His heart ached inside of his chest and even then he still could almost feel her laying beside him. He wanted to hold her desperately, and the fact that she wasn't here with him drove him crazy. 

   He reached for his phone, unlocking the screen to see that he had no new text messages and no returned calls.

   He sighed, a frown tugging on his lips as he even missed Tikki. The house was a lot more lonely without his wife and cat. It certainly didn't help that Marinette had left some of her belongings behind, and Adrien held onto hope that she would at least come back for them.

  He needed any chance to talk to her, even if she wanted to scream at him.

Adrien climbed off the bed, his heart sinking into the pits of his stomach and he was beginning to grow desperate. He wandered towards the window, tossing his phone to the side with a loud thud. 

He leaned forward, placing his hands onto the window sill. Adrien closed his eyes, his hands gripping tightly onto the window sill. Adrien clenched his jaw, exhaling with a quivered sigh. He screwed his eyes shut, his muscles aching as he was only two seconds away from putting his head right through the window.

It almost felt like there was no point in living.

Marinette whimpered, her heart squeezing in her chest as she could feel his arms around her. 

   She felt his body warmth, drawing her in and Marinette could have sworn she felt happiness for a brief moment. 

  Marinette opened her eyes to the warm rays of the sunlight and she exhaled, feeling her soul drop as she rememberd the last time she had ever seen Adrien.

  Marinette grimaced, knowing that she had no where to go when she left him. With her schedule crammed regarding school and her late night shifts at the bar, there wasn't enough time and money to stay in a hotel or search for an apartment that accepted animals on the spot. Marinette had no intentions of abandoning or giving up Tikki, so she returned to the only place she knew had room and would accept her.
