《Just Friends》19. Open Window

Adrien immediately came up to me, almost zipping across the room before forcefully kissing me. I was taken back, and then felt my back roughly hit the wall. I pushed Adrien away, "ow! What the hell?!" I yelled aloud.
His eyes were deep with emotion before he practically sagged against me. His face now in my chest, and his body yearning to be touched. Why the sudden mood change? And right after I said that I knew he was Chat noir? My hands shakily made his way across his back before I gave him a gentle squeeze.
I wasn't used to this touchy thingy that we were doing. "How did you find out?" He asked suddenly, his voice a whisper. "I- Even Ladybug doesn't know." His arms went around my sides smoothly, holding me in place against the wall.
"W-what?" I said back. "Uh, wow, I thought you guys-." My acting was terrible, "I-I thought you guys told each-other everything. That's-That's very surprising." Adrien didn't seem to even care about my stuttering.
"It was the only way I could save you last night. If I didn't use my miraculous, then you would've been injured." He whispered again. "I can't believe I let my guard down, Ladybug's going to kill me."
"I'm sure she won't kill you Adrien. You saved me, you were being a hero." My voice was soft and understanding.
Although I knew Chat noir's identity, I knew he couldn't know mine. If he did, major problems would arise. Just like Chat blanc.
I remember when Chat-Adrien, got akumatized and almost destroyed the whole world, literally. It was a scary situation, and I was suprised to make it out alive. I remember him vividly stating that, "it was our love that did this." And ever since then, those words had been scarred into my head.
After Chat blanc, I kept getting these weird nightmares that I would always wake up crying to. They didn't stop until I tried to forget the incident, but every once and a while, they pop up again.

"Marinette?" I heard Adrien's voice call to me. I looked down to him, since his face was still resting on my chest, and connected my eyes to his. "Are you okay?" He asked.
"Yeah yeah, sorry, I remembered something." Feeling deep in thought, I gently pushed Adrien away before sitting on the bed. "You should tell Ladybug." I spoke up.
Adrien came besides me, "how did you even find out?" I decided to ignore his question and continue with the talk that I was giving him.
"And I now know, since your Chat noir, that you have had such strong feelings for Ladybug." Even though Ladybug was me, I didn't want Chat to think that I was like her. Ladybug was the spitting image of being perfect, while I was clumsy and often forgetful. "So you have to tell Ladybug that I know, since you guys tell eachother everything." I concluded.
I knew about Chat noirs strong feelings for ladybug not only from his "confessions" but through his constant wining to me as Marinette.
Adrien slowly walked to me before gently placing a kiss on my forehead. "My feelings for Ladybug...." he drew out, "I'll tell her what you wanted me to." He concluded.

"You two lovebirds took your time." Alya smiled as we exited the room. We had taken a small nap after Adrien was done with his food. He didn't seem as taken back of me knowing that he was Chat noir. For now, he looked relieved. It was very confusing.
Adrien brought his hand around my waist before I practically slapped it off of me. I've never seen him being this touchy with Kagami.
Now that I realize it, I for some reason felt the need to always compare myself to her. It was unusual, since Adrien had not given Kagami any attention for a while. But I guess the thought was just always in my mind.
All of a sudden, Lila came in with Chloe behind her. It was surprising to see the two together since Chloe, like me, hated Lila.

"Did you guys need something?" I asked, keeping my arms folded to hide my discomfort.
Chloe rolled her eyes before talking, "I can't believe you Du-peng-Chang, how could you." I say there, a bit confused on what Chloe was talking about, "Your unbelievable, I can't believe you told Luka!"
My confusion came forth as I squinted my eyes at Chloe. "I didn't tell Luka anything?" I then looked over to Lila, and knew that she must've told Chloe something that I didn't do. "Lila, what did you tell Chloe."
"Yeah Lila, what did you tell Chloe, because Marinette didn't tell me anything." Luka commented. I didn't even really see him till he came out from the bathroom, but I was glad that he was here.
Lila sat there, astonished. She probably didn't think Luka would be in here as well. "Oh come on Marinette, admit what you did, I know you wouldn't want me to reveal your secret as well?" I folded my arms tighter and then felt Adrien's hand suddenly slip to the dip of my back.
His face came close to my ear before he told me, "don't get riled up." I nodded my head, and then refocused my attention back to Lila.
"Whatever you're going to lie about, I want proof." I said, keeping my composure. I could feel the hatred flowing from Lila.
"Well since you insist. Marinette is Ladybug." She smiled ever so sweetly as she said it.
I backed away, watching the scene unfold in front of me.
Adrien's hand slipped away from my back, as he stared at me with confusion. Alya's face was also in a confused glare set at me. I didn't know how to get out of this one.
"Wh-What?! You're lying!" My arms flung in front of me in frustration. "You have to believe me guys, how could I be ladybug?!" It seemed that everyone was now looking at me with an unknowing stare, causing me to look back at Luka.
He didn't even looked fazed, his expression was simply stoic, and it looked like he was just analyzing the situation. "Luka, you know I'm not lying? Right, there's no way I could be Ladybug." Luka nodded his head before I saw his mouth open.
"Lila it isn't nice to lie about things." He walked towards me as he said it, and then slightly pushed me behind him. Adrien seemed too surprised to say anything to be honest.
"Oh Luka, I think it's cute how you try to protect her. But I know she's Ladybug, in fact, I've seen her transform with my own eyes." She smiled sweetly, easily making the rest of the room her little followers.
I knew she couldn't have gotten Kagami to believe her though, because Kagami, like me, had despised her.
"Alya, do you really think I could be Ladybug. I mean look at me!" I tried laughing it off, but it seemed to make everything worse instead.
"Well it would explain all the absences, and the akumitizations." She glared, and right then and there, I felt like I might have just lost my best friend.
"But I'm not-."
"Oh shut it Marinette, we know it." Lila commented. I looked for a door or window, anything to escape this harsh reality.
"I-I..." I didn't know how to defend myself, so I went with my only option.
Jumping through an open window.

A/N: okay, so I know this update was slow, but I've been really busy with school and being an athlete so I've been very tired after finishing all of my activities! I'm sorry! I try to post at least once a day if I can! I know the plot for this whole story though, and since I write quick, a lot of editing has to take place after I post it. So stay with me.
Also, everything is about to go down.
