Soulmates And What We Expect (A Miraculous Ladybug Fanfic)

Epilogue

(Wasn't planning on doing one, but I love you guys too much to say no, but don't get your hopes up folks, still no Adrienette 😅)

The sky is overcast with dark clouds today, looking gloomy and dull...

A black car stopped in front of the Carlton Hotel and Marinette stepped out of it. She hasn't changed in these years, even a bit, save for the fact that the lines around her have become deeper. Training for several years for being a Guardian of the Miraculouses had their advantages after all.

She was in a simple white cotton dress and her long hair was loosely curled. Her look was neither gaudy nor lavish, it was simple, yet fully capable of withstanding any scrutiny.

A tall boy was seen getting out of the car, and taking her heavy bags from her, smiling comfortingly at her concern. His messy black hair blew in the wind and partially shielded his dark blue eyes. It wasn't like her bluebell eyes nor his father's sky blue but a darker shade, unique in its own way.

Etiénne.

He was quickly followed by a girl who nearly fell out of the vehicle as she tripped over herself. He caught her quickly and the trio breathed out a sigh of relief at the same time. Do I need to introduce her?

The teenager's hair was up in a ponytail and her startling blue eyes were darting around, taking everything in. Her beautiful features, paired with her bright red dress quickly made her the center of attention on the street.

The three of them walked to the door where they were greeted by an ecstatic Alix, "Hey, you three! Hurry upstairs to the first room on the left. Everyone's waiting for you there. "

Marinette nodded, returning the smile as they made their way upstairs. She didn't know why, but she felt an unplacable sense of unease bubbling up inside of her. It was a feeling she hadn't had in a very long time.

Truth be told, Marinette rarely attended these high-school reunions.

It wasn't that she was unsociable, or she thought she was too good for them. Only that, she was always out in business or training secretly. Maybe... just maybe, she also wanted to avoid a special someone...

Marinette hasn't been exactly single in the past years. She had gone on dates set up by her friends, and often was asked out herself as well. She had tried to feel something for them, but she couldn't help but look for those familiar emerald eyes, the bright smile and his blonde hair in the crowd as she walked idly on the streets.

The only reason she was attending today, was because Mme. Bustier had personally asked her to come today. According to what she knew, their teacher had moved to Australia a few years back with her family. Suddenly, this time, she told that she will come at this reunion and that she wanted Marinette to be present.

Besides, that person had been missing for seven years. There's no way that he will show up at this reunion, right? Assuring herself, Marinette tried hard to suppress her unease.

The trio walked in the room, pushing through the door. Hearing the door open, everyone looked over at the entrance and saw her smiling.

"Hey, girl! I'm so glad you could make it today!" Alya was the first to walk up to her and greet the three excitedly.
