How to sabotage yourself

<previous day // overview // next day>

Adrientte April, Day 9: Jealous ran by @adrinetteapril

As he saw them sitting on a bench and laughing happily it hit him. Hard.

He was not ok with that.

He didn’t want this.

Slowly he raised one hand and removed his earplug.

“Hey kiddo, what are you doing?” Plagg asked in surprise but his words didn’t reach Adrien.

Absentmindedly he slid down the tree behind him and hunkered down, head in hands as a flood of memories and emotions crashed in on him.

Suddenly he remembered all the photo shoots she’d been around coincidentally and how she’d cheered him up with her sheer presence no matter how lame the shoot had been.

And how she’d lightened up his whole birthday party as soon as she’d arrived, that the music had sounded more splendid and the lights had seemed more radiant.

The way she was willing to do anything for her friends, especially Alya, no matter what toll it took on her.

Her passion about crafting magnificent, more or less useful things and how she used them to support and cheer for her friends.

Added to that her incredible talent for designing, including the unique hat he’d gained the honor to wear. Actually he was sure there were a lot of even greater creations of her he hadn’t seen yet.

But then a cold shiver ran down his back as he relived his worry and concern about Marinette agreeing on being the hostage of The Evillustrator for everyone else’s sake. She was the bravest girl he’d ever met considering she had no superpowers to rely on.

She always stood up against injustice.

And she was one of the few persons who liked him for who he was, not for his looks or his peculiar fame. Even though she was quite interested in his modeling it was always with the viewpoint of an aspiring designer and he appreciated her interest in what he did after school.

When she saw a friend was in need she never let a single stone unturned to find the best possible solution for everyone included, not only as the class representative but in her everyday life.

The way she’d confidently defended her great uncle and how she’d been willing to selflessly leave her place at the Ultimate Mega Strike III tournament to Max still left him speechless.

Yet she was also lighthearted and funny, her laugh warmed his heard every single time he was lucky enough to hear it and her clumsiness was adorable.

Acting by her side on Nino’s amateur movie had been a great experience since she’d made it so easy for him to actually feel like a man in love with an independent, strong, beautiful woman.

And finally, he realized.

It had been easy because there hadn’t been a need to act.

He looked up and his heart shrank at the sight of Marinette’s genuine smile addressed to Nino.

That was the moment he realized that he’d completely fallen for her long ago.

And that he’d just set her on a date with his best friend.

Never had Adrien Agreste been more thankful to Hawkmoth and an akuma and never had he loved Nino Lahiffe more than the moment he told him he’d been wrong about Marinette and that he seemed to develop a crush on Alya.
