The new miraculous guardian

9. Babble and Bereft

Listen to "Amour plastic" by Vidéoclub ✌🏻

He gulped and ask, "Why would you have to do that...?"

I keep eye contact, he look intimidates.

What should I say, to protect Paris? My family...? My friends...?

Or maybe... myself?

I frown a little, "Cause I need to do everything that's in my power to protect... everyone."

There is a big moment which not one of us talk.

Neither one of us now what to say.

"Anyway... wanna help me? Or you can just relax, I don't mind." I say to fulfil the silence.

"You don't mind if I sleep a little?"

I look back at him, he does look tired, "Not at all you can take my bed if you want."

He yawns, smile and say, " Thanks Marinette, could you wake me up in 1h?"

As he walks towards my stairs I say, "Sure." I turn back to my desks and put some low music

I let my hairs out of my ponytails and pull them in a single one.
I start working on my box when I think about the couch on my door, which I put back in is place.

You know just in case my parents try to barge in, (like they always do...)

Then I will just have to unlock my room.

I look back at were Adrien is to see that he kept his shoes on.
I roll my eyes and go up to take is shoes off.
I put them beside my bed.

The time past so fast then after what look like 1 minute I finished my box and my mom call us for supper.

Wait how much time did I work on this?

3 hours?!?

Shit and I was supposed to wake Adrien after 1 hour...
I got up my stairs to see that he is still asleep.

Ok, that's kinda cute...

He's all curled up on himself.

I go on my bed to shake him slightly, "I'm sorry, I didn't see the time past... want some food?"

He get up and I give him his shoes.
"What time is it ?"
"7 pm"

His eyes become bigger, "Wait I need to go back!"

"It's ok Natalie already call, I said that they could come pick you up a 9 pm. I said that it's was ok with my parents since it's Friday."

He let out a breath of release.

Then I hear his stomach grumbling.

"Soooo, want to come down eat?"

His eyes sparkle with excitement, for a second he look like a child, "yeah!"
