Third person

Marinette ran into her room in tears, slamming and locking the door behind her. After locking the door she turned and went to the nearest wall. She pressed her back against it and slid to the floor.

She chocked on her sobs as she ran her hands over her face and ripped out her pigtails. Her breathing hicked as she pulled her knees to her chest, laying her head on them and crying more.

Sabine knocked lightly on Marinette's door and called to her, "Honey, can I come in?" No answer. "Did something happen at school?"

Marinette's sobs lessened and she yelled, "I'm never going back to school, I hate them! I hate Chloè! I hate Alya! I hate Nino! Most of all, I hate Adrien!"

Marinette began to cry again, but worse. She didn't come down for dinner. She didn't come down all day for that matter. Her parents were worried, but knew that pushing would only make it worse. They couldn't exactly send Alya up either, lord knows why Marinette was mad at her.

Then a small purple butterfly flew into her room and she knew it was coming before it reached her. Tikki flew out of Marinette purse In hope to warn her, but when the butterfly flew closer to Marinette, she caught it in her hand without even looking up.

"No more evil doing for you little akuma." She managed to mutter between sniffs. Tikki's eyes grew wide as she saw a white butterfly fly out of Marinette's hand when she opened it. "Bye, bye little butterfly." Marinette had stopped crying the second she lay the butterfly leave.

Tikki flew over to Marinette and landed on her knees. Marinette looked up at her little kwami and her normally blue eyes had turned purple. Tikki was frightened and started to shake, but Marinette's eyes soon faded back to their normal blue and she started lightly crying as quickly as she had stopped.

"Tikki is everything ok?" Marinette asked the fearful kwami.

Tikki slowly stopped shaking and looked up at Marinette. "I'm ok as long as you are." She sputters. "You shy probably change." She giggles a bit and Marinette looks at herself in the mirror of her vanity.

"You're right." She frowns, quickly changing into pjs, but when she looks back to Tikki, she's hidden herself.

There's a light tapping on her trapdoor and she realizes why Tikki hid. Marinette slowly opened the trapdoor, knowing who she'll see. Chat dropped in though the door and pulled Marinette to him for a hug.

"What are you doing, Chat?" A bewildered Marinette asks.

Chat let's go and puts his hands on her shoulders to look at her.

"You've been crying, a lot." His ears droop slightly as he say it too.

"Ya, so? I'm fine. Really." Marinette sniffs once, then looks Chat in the eyes and they stand there for a while.

"Have you been drinking water?" Chat asks worriedly.

"What?" Marinette looks at him a bit confused.

"If you're crying this much then you need to drink water or you'll get dehydrated." Chat said with a frown. "I don't want my purrincess to be sick."

"Chat stop, I'm fine." She says as she pushes Chat's hands off her shoulders and sits on her bed.

Chat walks over and sits next to her. "You were crying and I don't think they were tears of joy. Please tell me what happened." He says sympatheticly while giving her his best begging kitten eyes.

She sighs and falls back on her bed. The one time she wants to be alone and he shows up.

"If I tell you, will you leave?"

"It depends on what happened." He said, knowing he wouldn't leave.

She won't talk to Adrien, Alya or Nino, but maybe she'll talk to Chat Noir. So far she's talked to him more than her friends, which he guessed meant it was working.

He was finally getting to know her and now he thinks he may be falling for the person he found. Was it really falling if he was willing it the whole way? No, it seemed more like walking into it, not closing his eyes them and enjoying every moment of it. Ok cut him some slack, he learned about love from romance movies.

Marinette sighs, unknowingly pulling Chat from his thoughts. "A girl at school was being mean to me and that's all."

"That's a lie." Chat crossed his arms behind his head and laid down next to her.

"What?" Marinette looks at him in surprise. How did he know?

"When you lie, you get your out direct of view the person you're lying to." He smirks and looks at her.

That and he saw what happened. Maybe she was just embarrassed, but why wouldn't Hawk Moth akumatize her?

"Fine." She sighs again. "We had a reward day for everyone who was caught up in class today and my papa said that I should bring snacks, so I did. I made a cake for my class, so when I started to walk around to give everyone a slice, Chloè tripped me." Chat winches at the memory of it, but she continues. "I dropped the cake and ended up face planting into it, hence why I'm in pjs. Nobody helped me, not even my friends and just to make it worse, everybody laughed." She hid her face in her hands, "Even my crush laughed."

"Are you sure you're alright?" Chat questions, looking at her worriedly and she sits up in hope of hiding her face, but he sits up too.

Marinette bites her lip, trying to hold back tears as she nods but one tear starts to run down her face. She hopes Chat doesn't notice but he does and his frown deepens.

Chat wipes the tear off Marinette's face with his thumb, being careful that his claw doesn't touch her. Marinette looks at his sadly and he hugs her. She's taken aback for a second but returns the hug.

She couldn't hold it back anymore, tears began to pour down her cheeks. Chat hadn't expected her to be this distraught as she sobbed, he began to gently rock her in his arms.
