Sweetember 2 – Keep Going

Isn’t Alya the best person you could ever imagine?

This is angsty at the start but cavity inducing by the end! I hope that's in the vein of sweetember. If there is anything I forgot to put a content warning for, PLEASE tell me!

I think sweetember was started by @emsylcatac (who I don’t know but is probably really rad). Although I found it through @angelofthequeers (who I follow and who seems quite rad!).

“Alya,,,, How could I chicken out again!…”

I look over at Marinette sitting on the bench. She had tried to confess to Adrien, and it hadn’t gone…spectacularly to say the least.

“It's fine, we’ll just try again next time! I’ve already got the perfect plan! Next week in class we’ll be studying poetry, we can use that!” I said, bubbling with confidence.

“Seriously Alya, this was an unmitigated disaster! We caused an Akuma for crying out loud! An AKUMA! My plans to confess have literally aided and abetted an emotion terrorist!”

“Okay, that part isn’t…….GREAT, but it’s not the end of the world! Ladybug and Chat Noir saved the day! Like they always do!” I say, trying to boost her confidence.

Marinette looks at me with a disillusioned expression, “I just, can’t keep doing this, it’s horrible to think I keep causing people so much misery, I should just give up on-“

“NO!” I yell suddenly, before clasping my hands over my mouth. I breathe, put my hand on her shoulder and keep going.

“Girl, you have come so far, and TRUST ME when I say that you deserve happiness. We can’t really prevent Akumas. The worst you did to that person was accidentally trip him into flowers he was allergic to.”

“But that’s still bad though!”

“Girl, we were at a FLOWER GARDEN. Why was a person allergic to a specific type of flower at a flower garden! He’s the idiot here, not you! And if he was akumatised, he was already having a bad day anyway.”

“But-“

“I know you care about others so endlessly, and that’s part of what makes you so great and amazing, but not everyone is worthy of that worry. You shouldn’t tear yourself apart, trying to prove you care to people who don’t care about you! He was already acting so uptight and snooty anyway, he outright shoved you out of the way before you accidentally tripped him. Hell, I would’ve tripped him on purpose, I’m surprised you didn’t.”

“I just…an AKUMA, Alya, I caused an Akuma! It makes me feel so much like…Chloe?” I watch my best friend hunch over, tears starting to form.

“No! You are nothing like Chloe, she actively causes people misery! You did it accidentally!”

Marinette keeps tearing up, unconvinced. I keep going.

“I know you’re scared of the Akumas Marinette.”

“Wait, wha-“

“Don’t think I don’t notice you running away to hide in the bathrooms, or how you never want to come with me to get footage. It’s okay, a lot of people are scared of the Akumas. The destruction, the chaos, the effects. Even with the miracle cure…the memories still remain. It's scary even being close to the action to record it, I can’t imagine how Ladybug feels…” I glance over to my friend.

Marinette looks up at me, tears in her eyes. I keep going.

“But, I know you, you’re my BFF. Even if you have the weight of the world on your shoulders, I know you’ll do the right thing. You always do, you apologised to that man, you actively stayed around the Akuma while being scared of him just so you could do the right thing in the end! Most people would’ve booked it down main street until they reached a new continent! That’s why I know you’re an amazing person who isn’t ANYTHING like how you seem to view yourself. You did what was right even when it came at a risk to yourself!”

Marinette wipes her eyes and looks at me more. I keep going.

“You do that so much, you tried to give up your spot to Max at the tournament! You tried to help Chloe connect with her mother! You helped the class during Darkblade! Adrien might be blind on most things, but he was correct, you are our everyday Ladybug! You’re MY everyday Ladybug. Honestly, as inspiring as Ladybug or Majestia is, you’re my bigger role model. You keep pushing forward even when everyone else would’ve given up, you even keep agreeing to my crazy schemes to set you and Adrien up. Whenever I feel defeated, alone, betrayed or hurt, I think of how you’d handle it, and if that doesn’t work, I come and talk to you.”

I’m holding both of Marinette's hands in mine now, as she looks at me, blushing. I keep going.

“We both push each other up during our darkest and worst times, the only reason I was even akumatised was because I couldn’t talk to you in time! Girl, if you want to have a pity party at my place over not being able to confess, I’m all ears. Still, I don’t think for a second that you should feel any guilt over that flower douche.”

Marinette giggles in response. She rests her head on my shoulders.

“Thanks, Al, I wish I could repay you somehow.”

“Just enjoy this garden with me then! We haven’t even gotten to the marigolds yet, or the tulips!”

Marinette huffs and gets off the bench.

“Okay fine! I’m thinking clearly now, let’s keep going.”

Alyanette? Maybe, maybe not. I think I like teasing ships more than I like writing ships, hmmmm...

Might post more, might not! Who knows? Not me!

Either way, maybe expect more sometime soon? Got critique? Feel free to share!
