《Just Friends》18. Chat Nior
Advertisement
When I awoke, I had an ear piercing heachache, and was located in a familiar room. I looked around, wondering how the hell I got here before slowly getting up from my bed. I was wearing clothes that were not mine, and when I took a closer look at them, I realized they were Adrien's.
Having a little weird moment to myself, I took a deep breath and then opened the bedroom door, revealing a group of people stuck in my the cabin's living room. There was Luka, Kagami, Alya, Nino, and Adrien, all staring bag me like they had seen a miracle.
I decided to not speak up on the matter, and instead asked, "Do we have any pain medicine?" My words were mostly directed at Alya, since I couldn't stand the stare of the others. Alya smiled at me before nodding her head.
"Can we ask you some questions first?" She said back. I nodded my head while turning my vision to Adrien. His hair was ruffled, and he had serious bags under his eyes. I began to wonder what happened yesterday since all I could remember was the stuff that happened at the beginning of the party, the rest was a blur.
"Yeah, sure." I said shortly, wondering what they were going to ask.
"What was the last thing you remembered last night?" Kagami spoke up. I looked up towards the ceiling, trying to pick out little memories.
"Well I may have snuck a quick sip of some of the drinks, but otherwise, I didn't do really out there, you know." I felt my face heat up, wondering if this was going to be like an interview. "Why, did something happen that I don't remember?"
"You almost died, Marinette." Adrien's voice was sour, like a toxic thrown into fresh water. I took a step back, not knowing what to expect anymore.
"I didn't almost die... I-." I scanned through my memories again, trying to figure out what he was talking about. "I don't remember..."
"You don't remember because you were drunk, when I told you specifically not to drink." His eyes were not even facing me anymore, they were facing the ground.

"You jumped off of a cliff to prove yourself capable of not being a goody two shoes. I called Adrien, and apparently he found you safe and sound at the bottom of the cliff around the lake. It was at least a 5 or 6 story drop, and you probably would have died." Kagami laid out flat. I didn't even like Kagami anymore, so why did I choose to apparently 'prove' myself to her?
I laughed it off, "is this one of your pranks again Adrien?"
When dead silence returned I knew that they were being serious. My smile dropped, and I focused my attention at the ground. The only people who had not talked about the matter were Luka and Nino.
"It only happened because I was dr-."
Adrien cut me off, "Drunk and you didn't even know what was happening around you. I remember all of us telling you to not drink. But what did Marinette decided to do. Drink almost a whole bottle of the poison and then decided to jump off of a cliff. You know what, I'm going to bed. There's no point in wasting my time when you could just do the same exact thing again." He got up from his chair, striding around me and walking to the room. I shook my head at Adrien, wondering why the hell he was so mad.
It wasn't like I actually died.
I shook my head, then turned back to Alya who was staring at me with an exacerbated look. I huffed, rolling my eyes in frustration. I can't believe that I just woke up on my first full official day camping, and Adrien's already mad at me.
"I'm going to go use the bathroom." I said, getting rid of the awkward tension.
***
Alya and I were now making breakfast in a quiet but awkward manner. The teachers had apperently brought everyone natural foods, and our group had to be assigned to cook it as part of our points. I was an expert at cooking, so I was glad that I could do something to get my mind off of the incident earlier.

I felt a light prickle on my arm, and I immediately glanced at Alya, wondering what she wanted. "You know you caused everyone a scare last night, especially Adrien." She whispered while cutting up the rest of the fruit. We were making some eggs, bacon, and fruit cups.
"You don't have to remind me Alya, I know..." I whined aloud. I felt another hand suddenly come up from beside me, squeezing my shoulder. It was then that I had noticed that Kagami was there the whole time.
"She's right you know. I've never seen Adrien cry before." She added in. Adrien had cried?
I knew Adrien, knowing that he had barely ever cried caused a deep guilt inside of me. Was my life really that endanger last night?
Knowing the fact that he was crying, told me that whatever really happened was serious. It was also the fact that Kagami was telling me this, which caused the words to have more affect. It was the fact that she was able to acknowledge this.
"He did?" I asked, shifting my direction towards her.
"Yep, although he tried to hide it by locking himself with you in your room. But it was painfully obvious. You were just to slumped to even notice what was happening around you." What she had said had caused me to move even deeper in thought.
Adrien had really cried. Adrien clearly cares for me. But Adrien loves ladybug. But I am ladybug.
The process was overall confusing.
Once we were done making food, I decided to take my own personal plate to our room, even with the door locked. Alya had told me to give Adrien his space, but me being the hard head that I was, didn't listen.
I went outside the cabin, noticing all of my classmates who were eating around a picnic table, and walked to our bedroom window. Not caring if I looked crazy, I sneakily jumped into the bedroom, noticing the sleeping Adrien on the bed.
His eye bags were still there, but weren't as prominent as before, and his body was wrapped loosely between the blankets. His face was etched into a hard scowl, and I felt even more guilt knowing that I had caused this turmoil.
I closed the window gently behind me and then took a small walk towards the bed. I then placed the food slowly on the night stand, before getting into the bed with him.
I didn't know that Adrien would only have some shorts without a shirt to sleep on, or I wouldn't have gotten into the bed. "Leave me alone Marinette." His voice suddenly spoke up, leaving me suprised. I didn't know that he was awake.
"Adrien, I-..." I didn't know what to say back. I was at a lost for words. "I'm sorry." I finally said after a few seconds, watching as his chest rose and fell. "I shouldn't have taken the drink and should've trusted what you kept telling me."
"Sorry doesn't cut it Marinette." He mumbled.
"I know that, and I know that-."
"Do you have any idea what you put me through. I thought you would die if I didn't make it there in time." He was still turnt away from me. "You almost hit the water." He whispered.
Confusion came over me, before I thought hard about what happened last night. The only person who could have saved me was a type of super hero. And immediately after that thought, I felt like I had the biggest brain fart.
Adrien had saved me in his Chat noir form last night.
"Your right Adrien, but I have you to thank." I think it's time to tell him.
"What are you talking about, I found you at the edge of the water."
"I know you saved me Adrien. And I've known your deepest secret for the past two weeks, it's the reason I've been avoiding you." I took a breath, "I know you're Chat noir."
