Happily Shortly After

Staring despondently out the window, Adrien gripped the metal bars that were now locked into place.

His forehead pressed against the little bit of exposed glass. It felt like every last hope he’d clung to with regard to his father had all fallen through. Unfortunately it was questioning his father that got him locked away, grounded even from school. Now, his only escape came when Plagg helped him Cataclysm his way out to save the city.

He’d been certain that all hope was lost until he’d heard a familiar voice.

Marinette?

“I brought Adrien his homework assignments.”

Bolting towards the hallway, Adrien pressed open the heavy wooden door to peer out into the main hall, wincing as it creaked noisily.

The moment she bravely stepped forward ducking past the Gorilla, Gabriel was livid. His shouts echoed through the sterile white halls. “Did I say you could enter my home?”

Marinette leveled a glare at him, walking over to stand beside Adrien and hand him his assignments. “Are you alright?” she whispered.

His lips tugged into his best model smile. He wasn’t sure he could pretend enough for it to reach his eyes. “I’ll be okay,” he assured quietly.

Marinette glared at Gabriel as she squeezed Adrien’s hand.

“It’s time for you to leave now, Ms. Dupain-Cheng,” Gabriel ordered. Silently, Nathalie slowly trudged up the stairs to firmly usher her out, the mechanical hiss of her support struggling under the effort.

“I will leave,” Marinette promised. “After I have the scarf I knit for your son. The one you stole and gave to him as a birthday present.”

Adrien’s jaw dropped. She’d made it for him?

Gabriel’s scowl was shaken only by the surprise.

Nathalie’s gasp echoing in his ears, Adrien raced back up the stairs to grab the scarf from his closet and come back down as quickly as he could.

He really didn’t like the idea of Marinette alone down there, unprotected...

“I didn’t ever tell him,” Marinette spoke more quietly, “only because Adrien always seemed happy believing it came from you. He should have deserved that much from you.”

Gabriel’s shoulders straightened, letting him tower over all. “You go too far, young lady.”

When he raced back out onto the landing, scarf in hand, his gaze quickly met with Marinette’s.

“Adrien deserves to have more people standing up for him.” Smiling up at him fleetingly, her arms crossed over her chest as she turned to address his father.

“Ms. Dupain-Cheng,” Gabriel intoned darkly, his voice growing progressively louder. “You may take back your scarf and Adrien’s assignment and whatever else you need. Just as long as you stay away from my property forever from the moment you leave those doors. I never want to see your face again.”

Marinette blinked, before a slow smile rolled across her face as Adrien raced down the stairs, looking a wonder anew at the blue scarf in his hand. “Do I have your word on that?”

“Young Lady,” Gabriel bit out angrily as Adrien raced past to meet her at the door. “Who do you think I am?”

Nodding as politely as she could manage, Marinette took back the scarf Adrien handed her. Smiling at him, she wound it around his neck. “This is still yours, Adrien. I didn’t forget that birthday,” she whispered. “I’m just really bad at signing things.”

“Honestly,” Adrien beamed down at her. “I’m glad it was from you, Marinette.”

She smirked suddenly, still whispering. “Are you ready?”

“Huh?” Adrien blinked, as Marinette hefted him over the shoulder like the bags of flour she’d apparently been training her whole life for.

“What on earth?” Gabriel shouted.

As Adrien glanced back at her, Marinette’s grin sharpened. “You said I could take ‘whatever I need’,” she recalled with growing glee, as she managed a half curtsy. “What I need is my best friend.”

His father’s blustering and sputtering echoed in the halls, as Marinette firmly turned on her heel and walked back out the door, leaving a stunned Nathalie and Gorilla in her wake.

Blushing furiously, Adrien gave a half-hearted wave at his father once before shutting the door behind them.

They were already two whole blocks away when he started to absently wonder when his best friend was going to stop and put him down.

Smiling softly at the feel of her small hand gently holding him close to her, Adrien relaxed and left himself enjoy his newfound freedom as the world stared and passed them both by.

The same hand that had made the blue scarf he’d treasured for so long. The hand that had offered him hope, when he’d lost all that he had left...

If he was really lucky, Marinette wouldn’t let him go anytime soon.

Fears

Being born was the first

A hot dread it was to me

A scream of air seared

Hate sobbed from my lungs

Naked light came next

Gone the gentle blood-glow

Trained the spotlights

The shimmer, the afterstars

Separation was the third

As the universe was birthed to me

Duality and more, ramifying,

Terrible, fecund realm

Now with knowledge of

This buffeted interval,

Less the universal eventuality

Than the many roads there

The many roads down

To the other sunless place

And wondering what glow

If any, might penetrate.

DEFTONES- Hearts/Wires •fan video edit •Afterstars •film: Neon Demon

Nothing can save me now

It's what I believe

The slit in the sky when you left

Is all I see

Nothing to sing about

I've bared all my leaves

No vision of dreams about you

Came true for me

Cut through

This razor wire

And died on your heart

Writhe 'till the end

Stuck with illusion now

I drown in your sea

I hope that you first save yourself

And then come for me

Cut through

This razor wire

And died on your heart

Writhe to the end

Break through

Collect the wires

And writhe in your heart

Writhe 'till the end

Away, away, away

Down deep into your veins

All the way

Down deep in your heart

All the way

All the way, away

Cut through (away)

This razor wire (away)

Writhe 'till the end

Break through (away)

Collect the wire (away)

Died on your heart

Writhe 'till the end
