Mending A Broken Heart (+18)

Chapter 13

Despite the fact Adrien and Ladybug were now dating, it was hard for them to see each other (at least like that).

Marinette saw him as Adrien at school, and Chat Noir saw her during their weekly meeting and any akuma attacks during the week. 

Neither of them was happy with the fact it took days for them to see each other. It was quite painful for them to see each other and not be able to hold each other. The urge Adrien constantly had as Chat Noir to hold his Lady and kiss her senseless made it hard for him to concentrate during battles sometimes.

For Marinette, it was worse. She saw him as Marinette and Ladybug. Ladybug mostly saw him as Chat Noir, and she knew she couldn't do anything. Marinette knew his identity, but he didn't know that. If she were to do anything with Chat Noir, Adrien would think she was willing to cheat on him. 

Marinette sighed as she stared up at the clock. It was 10 minutes before school ended. It was Friday, meaning she could go visit him either that night or Saturday night. Maybe both, she thought. 

All that could be heard was the monotone voice of their history teacher and the clicking of the clock. Marinette was sure half the class was asleep. Hell, she was surprised she hadn't fallen asleep either. 

As the minutes ticked away slowly, Marinette thought back to her relationship with Adrien. They were now official, but what kind of things would they do? Hanging out in his room would get boring eventually. She knew he was already bored with half of the things in his room, and having sex every time would just make their relationship feel like a friends-with-benefits type of thing. 

Maybe they could go on dates? She wasn't sure how that would work, though. She'd have to talk to him about that whenever she saw him. 

The final bell finally rang, and the few people still awake in class sighed in relief. Marinette began to gather her things and stood up. She swung her bag over her shoulder before Alya stopped her. 

"It's been a while since we've hung out," Alya spoke as the girls walked out of school. "Why don't we go out for lunch together after our group meeting tomorrow?"

Marinette thought about it. It had been quite some time since she'd been able to hang out with Alya outside of school. She was incredibly busy and more so now with Adrien. It would be nice to go out and have a nice breather. 

"Yeah, of course," Marinette smiled. "It's been way too long since we've last hung out!"

Alya grinned, "Alright, see you tomorrow!"

"Bye!"

As Marinette made it home, she felt her phone buzz. She walked up the stairs to her room as she unlocked her phone. 

She closed her trapdoor as she finally stepped into her room. Her eyes turned to the message. Her heart dropped, and she felt her blood run cold. 

"Don't forget to log your cycle! Your cycle was supposed to start 2 days ago," read her period tracker. 

She was late. 

Marinette began to panic. 

"Fuck fuck fuck fuck," she began to pace around her room. 

"I can't be..." she muttered. 

Marinette was never late. She was on the pill! She had been for a while. How had she not realized she hadn't gotten her period yet?

She sat down on her chaise, suddenly feeling very dizzy. 

She buried her face in her hands. "This isn't happening. This isn't happening!"
