Our College Life

Chapter 12

Adrien POV
I woke up to hear some footsteps on the hardwood floor outside my room. I figured Mari had already woken up. I laid on my back and started at the ceiling. I had another dream of my mother last night and I didn't like it. I sighed and slowly rolled out of my bed. I grabbed my phone, and walked to the living room where I assumed Marinette was.
"Why the confused face you sleepy cat?" She asked in the most adorable way possible.
"Well" I started to answer. "I was wondering where Alya and Nino would be sleeping. They probably want to sleep together, but the couch is too small."
" Well...how about they sleep in my room and I think in the couch? " she suggested.
"No couches are uncomfortable. How about you sleep with me? That is, if you would be comfortable with it. Because I am. " I said all in a rush. I could see Marinette shifting in her seat, probably because she was uncomfortable with it. I could feel my face getting hot. I inwardly kicked myself for the suggestion. "She's probably scared of me now." I said to myself.
" Alright it's a plan. " she suddenly said. I figured she had thought about it a little.
Soon later, we went for a walk around London together. We stopped at the market and I let Marinette but some things which I assumed was for her family. About an hour later, it was lunch time. We bought some British sandwiches and sat on a bench in the park. I then started to notice that Marinette was crying.
"Mari! What's wrong?" I asked.
" No-no it's nothing.... Well, i-i.... I miss my parents! And Paris! I've never been away from them before. " she Me And as she started to sob. I lovingly pulled her to me to embrace her in a secure hug.
"I'm so sorry Mari. I know how you feel." I said to reassure her. She was so sweet and tender, I hated seeing her cry. After about 3 minutes, she got herself together.
"I will always have a shoulder for to cry on. " I told her. Because I did. I'm always open ears.
"Thank you Adrien. Your so sweet." She then did something kinda surprising and kissed my cheek. I blushed and hard and I noticed she was blushing too. We were a blushing mess.

Later that night, we picked up Nino and Alya from the airport. When we arrived at the house, we moved them into Marinette's room. Earlier, she had moved most of her essentials to my room so she wouldn't have to go back and forth. Soon, after dinner, we all started getting ready for bed, giving that it was already 10:00 at night. When I got out of the restroom, I say Marinette in my bed sketching what looked like a dress on her Ipad. She was so talented. Soon, we were settled in and ready to face the night.
I was having the dream again. The terrible dream about my mother, leaving me. Mother....Mother....MOTHER! I shouted in my dream. I then heard a voice. A calm, lovely voice. Marinette's voice, calling my name.
"Adrien, Adrien" as I heard the voice, I also was being shook awake. That's when I saw my mother's empty spot. She had just disappeared.
" Where is she?! She was right here! " I shouted as I bolted upright in bed. I looked to see Marinette, eyes wide frightened, hands on my arms and shoulders. She was trying to wake me from my terrible dream. I could see her face in the moonlight. Skin smooth and clear, eyes, beautiful blue and wide with concern, hair loose about her shoulders in a slight disarray. I then started to cry into her, grasping her tightly.
"Oh Mari! She was right there! It was so real!" I said between sobs.
" I'm so sorry Adrien. " she said as she rubbed my back to sooth me. I could feel her cool small hands holding my head and securing it. I sobbed for about 20 minutes. I then felt Marinette setting me down carefully on my side of the bed. Her grasp felt so good, I didn't want her to let go. As she got settled into her side, I snaked my arms around her waist, and pulled her body up against mine as if I were giving her one big hug. She didn't seem to resist either. It felt so good to give someone so caring a nice hug. Tonight had been terrible, but right now, things were looking up.
