Mine

Chapter 7

Marinette's pov

I was sketching a chat themed dress in my sketchbook before I burst into tears, being reminded about my kitty.

I put down my sketchbook after my mini breakdown and climbed up to my loft bed, laying down once i successfully made it to the top. I put my face into my cat pillow, but immediately pulled away once I realised that it smelled like adrien's cologn.

Everything reminded me of him. From my bedroom to random places in Paris. And that was everywhere seeing as we both used to run on the roofs of Paris every night.

I honestly felt like killing my self. I was nothing without my kitty beside me. Just as I was about to get up to go down to the kitchen, a knock was heard on my trapdoor.

I looked up, seeing a boy dressed in black. My heart began thumping loudly as I hopefully hoped that it was my kitty back from the dead. I couldn't see the boy's face, so I hoped that the black clothing would be enough for it to be him.

I quickly made my way to my trapdoor and immediatley opened it, not bothering to check if it actually was my kitty.

I could feel my heart drop as I looked up to see a mop of bright red hair and turquoise eyes. It was Nathaniel.

I don't know what I was thinking, of course it wouldn't be adrien. He's... dead.

"Nathaniel? What are you doing here, and at this time at night?" I asked, trying to keep my disappointment out of my voice.

"I came to see you, may I come in?" He replied.

I nod before climbing down and sitting on my bed. He followed suit, sitting crossed leg opposite me and closing my trapdoor.

"Marinette, I heard what happened to Chat Noir, I am truly sorry for your loss" He started off.

Just hearing Chat's name set me off into a crying fit, obviously surprising Nathaniel. He went in to hug me, and I clung onto him desperately. I really needed the emotional support right now and I was grateful that Nathaniel was here with me.

"T-thank you n-Nathan" I stuttered over my sobs.

"What for?" He asked.

"For being here with me... thank you" I hugged him tighter if it were even possible. I didn't see his face flush red and the psychotic grin spread across his face as he answered back.

"No problem Mari, I'll always be here for you"

He eventually left, saying that he would be back tomorrow at the same time. I wondered why so late but I didn't question it. I thanked him once again and he left without another word.

I sighed in content before laying back down, covering myself with the covers.

"That was nice of him to come check on you" tikki said, coming out form under my desk and towards me.

"Yes it was... I can always rely on Nathan to cheer me up" I replied.

She gave me a smile before laying on my pillow, gesturing me to lay down to. I lay down beside her and slowly drift off to sleep.

Nathaniel's POV

Once I saw Mari close her eyes and go to sleep, I snuck back in and lay beside her. I wrapped my arm around her and played with her hair.

She really was beautiful, and with adrien out of the picture, she was all mine. My plan was simple. Give her some emotional support while making her fall in love with me. Then when she has fully recovered from adrien's death, I will swoop in and ask to be her boyfriend. She would be crazy to say no.

I just had to be patient and wait till then. I kissed her lips and snuck back out of her bedroom and ran in the night.
