Begging on your Knees

Damian sighed as another episode of Criminal Minds, played in the background.

He wasn't sure when or how it happened, but he had fallen for his best friend, Marinette. The same Marinette that was in a committed relationship with Adrien Agreste.

He was shaken from his thoughts as someone pounded on his apartment door.

'Who the hell?'

Damian muted the show and headed to answer the door, ready to shout at whoever was interrupting his personal day.

There was no time to react when he felt someone latch onto his person. He looked down, ready to throw the person across the hall, when he realized it was Mari sobbing in his arms.

Quickly, he guided her to the couch. Damian held her in his arms as he allowed her to cry herself out. He knew he'd get answers when she was ready.

"What's wrong, Angel?" he questioned, once she had calmed down.

"Adrien's been cheating on me with Lila!" she cried out.

'He did what to my Angel?'

"Was it something I did that made him got to her? Did I do something wrong, Dami? Did I say something-" she began to ask out loud.

Damian grabbed her by the shoulders and made her look him in the eyes.

"Adrien cheating on you is not your fault. He did this. He cheated." Damian said, hoping to get through to her.

"What should I do?" Marinette asked.

"Does he know?" Damian asked.

Mari shook her head, "I might need to find a new place. He's....territorial."

"You can move in here with me." he suggested, immediately.

"What?" Marinette asked, surprised.

"I have a spare room, ever since Jon moved out. Come." he said, grabbing her hand and took her to the empty room, "See?"

Marinette nodded. It was a good space and Adrien didn't know where Damian lived. She'd be safe here.

"Slowly, bring your stuff here from his place and yours. Take what means the most to you first from his place and leave anything you don't care about behind: magazines, beauty products. Those can always be replaced. Anything else from your apartment, we can put in storage, for now." Damian stated, guiding her back to the couch.

"What if he notices?" she asked.

Damian could hear the fear in her voice.

'Agreste is going down!'

"If he asks why, say you thought you had too much there and didn't want to be a bother to him. Take some of his stuff back every time you go over. Take two shirts of yours and replace them with two of his and when your done, leave his key." he suggested, "There's no way I'm letting him through my door."

"Thanks, Dami!" Marinette said, as she threw herself into his arms once more, "I'm glad to have you as my best friend."

Damian just nodded as he pulled her closer to keep her safe.

'Best friend, right.'

"You know he's going to figure it out when you leave him." Damian spoke, breaking the silence.
