Enjoyyy

Post- Miracle Queen

Marinette Dupain-Cheng

You know that feeling when someone you like very much smiles at you? That feeling where it sends butterflies to your stomach, your face hot like it's about to explode and your tongue tied in twists that you have never even knew existed.

Sound familiar?

Well, it is me, Marinette Dupain-Cheng every time I am near or just within the vicinity of Adrien Agreste.

Or maybe it could be you too.

It's been quite a while since I actually started to like him. For a few months, per say. I didn't even expect myself to actually like a person. I mean, I am too busy with designing and... making myself better and less clumsy. And poof! They're all gone!

I wouldn't say that this is really a disaster though.. I guess?

Anyhowww.. His smile is just so bright and warm that it makes my heart flutter just by seeing it from afar. Ah.. It always completes my day. Though, I never really made a move on him and.. well...

He's got someone else in his life now...

Kagami just recently became one of my friends for the past few weeks or so. I never really considered her a friend at first, hence she was more of a rival for me. Then I understood on the day of that competition, when we became partners, that she has a very strict mother and well, she has very less experience about relationships.

I figured that she just needed a friend and tossed away all those toxic feelings of rivalry and became friends with her. Yes, it might sound weird if you put it that way but, we're friends! And I treasure it very much.

Though, being only yourself when you only are putting up a mask is hard.. You have to deal with responsibilities that not even a normal 14-year old could even imagine doing. I mean, I didn't even imagine that I'd be Ladybug in the first place.

So, I had to deal with Kagami and Adrien at the same time, I saw them side by side and thought about how perfect they are for each other.. Ahaha..

They have so many similarities. Fencing, rich people from rich families, so composed and their heads always held high, people looking at them with high regard, even strict parents..

I don't know if I can ever compete with that... Never, I guess.

Ah, oof. Well, I ended up crying that day. Super pathetic for a super heroine that never gives up and always saves the day but can't even save herself..

Adrien Agreste was the person who made me love the rain so much in so many perspectives. The main reason was, I would always remember how I fell in love with him. He made me love the rain.

He's kind, sweet, and really gentle, even if it's Chloé or Lila. A little dose of his kindness made my whole world a lot brighter and interesting. He has a really kind heart and is even smart and handsome. Talk about a complete package!

I always find ways to impress him, even go as far to list his full schedule in probably a much complicated detail than his assistant, Nathalie's. From designing to my other passions in life, it always finds me really happy with him praising me in every aspects of my work. Just like the derby hat competition! Really flattering, actually. I was more motivated and inspired, to be better, just to catch his attention.

There were times where I'd sleep late or arrive late just from a late night quick designing for a gift on his special day, like that blue scarf that had a really confusing mix up and he was told that his father made it for him. Anyhow, every sacrifice was made worth it. Despite quite hurtful, knowing and seeing that he has a smile on his face, it's enough for me.

I would go all out just to make him happy, even if his happiness isn't really me as the reason, but if I helped him, it's all really fine. I guess it might be emotionally reckless but I would take all these risks despite I know what the consequences are.

And because of it..

I was also put through in a lot of pain and heartache..

Well, someone really important, told me that things don't always go the way you want it to be and we have to accept it, these are just a part of life and are temporary. The most important gift is life itself. So I need to look at life in a positive way, we might never know what'll happen.

I never really understood myself why I didn't let myself get seen by him crying. Instead, I was with a person who's a really great guy and I am filled with confused feelings about him, I don't even know. Maybe part of the reason was, I guess I just didn't want him to see me so broken. All this time, you see me, people see me as this really strong girl who stands up for what is always right and is as tough as nails, only for them to see that I am actually a huge failure..

Love really does make us do extremely crazy things. Things that will make us really vulnerable and predictable. Things that hurt us and put us in pain in many ways. Things that places us in a state of confusion and loss of self. Things that will make us rely on what we are obsessed with. Things that... are just plain toxic and manipulative. But in the end, I guess you learn from it.

But whatever happens. Whatever it is. I'll do everything it takes..

To at least make him happy from far away.

Just to see that smile again..

Even if it's not meant for me..

Greetings!
That's a wrap for this new one.
This is actually based on
this Adrienette comic that I'm currently making. It's harddd making a comic ;-;.

Anyhow, since there are POV shots now, I will continue making them. It will be of different characters with different moods and themes in every shot.

Next one is Alya's btw but there is something to be posted before the next POV shot. Gah, I love these already.

Stay tuned and bug out!
Thank you for staying by this book and making it reach heights that I have never imagined it would achieve.
I love you all!
