Agreed. We All Know That Marinette Can Be A Bit Extra When It Comes To People Liking Adrien, Which Is

Agreed. We all know that Marinette can be a bit extra when it comes to people liking Adrien, which is honestly stupid because Adrien is a model.

Of course Alya just assumes Marinette is jealous.

Lets go down the list of shit Marinette has done cuz of her big ass obsessive crush on Adrien.

Stolen his phone.

Keeps fucking day dreaming about him and barely functioning like a human being when hes around.

Stalked him a few times.

Broken into his house

Has his schedule on her wall and pictures of him all over.

Planned out their marriage and shit??

Joined with CHLOE against Kagami.

Stolen Kagamis fucking phone just to snoop through it!

Followed Lila and Adrien just cuz he was gonna be alone with some girl.

So yeah, if I was Alya Id assume she was just jealous/over reacting too.

And Alya only said ONE thing about that in Chameleon but she still listened to her. So Alya salt is ridiculous.

Fanfic idea

Would anybody be interested in a fanfic where Marinette just breaks? Like where she doesn’t care anymore and just lets herself be manipulated by the people around her. It could be Chloe or Lila. Or maybe even the whole class because they’ve always secretly hated how successful Marinette got. Like they they manipulate Marinette into thinking that she needs them and that it’s normal for her to always do what they want her to do. 

At first, Marinette’s only escape could be Ladybug but it soon becomes bad for her too because of Chat Noir. Or this could just be a no miraculous AU. 

The ending could either be that Marinate realizes that what her “friends” are doing is wrong or it could just be full on angsty and she just keeps doing what they want her to do. 

What do you think?

Chapter 8

XY’s eyes snapped open, “Get out of my head!”

His breaths were uneven as he forced himself to get up. He turned to the window and noticed that it was still dark out. It was probably midnight.

XY stared at his bed. He couldn’t go back to sleep, at least not until he cleared his head. It was like everytime he closed his eyes for more than a minute, he would see his dad yelling at him. Screaming about how much of a disappointment he is.

Xy squeezed his eyes shut. He needed to get out of this room.

He grabbed the closest jacket near him and walked out his door.

-

The frosty air hit XY as soon as he walked out of the hotel.

He looked up at the dark sky. You couldn’t see a lot of the stars due to air pollution. It made XY frown. He remembered when his mom used to take him camping. Every night, they would look at the stars and she would point at a constellation and tell him the story behind it.

He missed her.

A sudden BANG- snapped XY out of his thoughts. He turned and saw a man wearing a hawaiin t-shirt on the floor, along with a man wearing a white t-shirt and sweats running away.

XY didn’t know what to do. Should he help the man or run after the guy? He was fast. He could probably catch the guy. But what about the man on the floor? Was the man still breathing?

In the end, XY turned to the man on the floor.

“Are you alright?” XY asked.

The man coughed. “I should be-” the man tried to stand and almost tumbled over. “I might need a bit of help getting home though.”

“I can help.” XY assured. “I don’t need to go home yet anyways.”

The man gave XY a smile that made XY feel warm. XY couldn’t help but smile back. “Which way do we need to go?”

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Marinette was out for patrol.

That was a lie. It wasn’t really patrol. It was more of an excuse to clear her mind.

Marinette felt like she couldn’t breathe. It was like she was in a small room and the walls were closing in on her. She couldn’t leave. She could only sit and watch as the walls would crush her to death.

Marinette loved swinging from building to building. It made her feel free. It made her feel like a bird ready to stretch her wings after being trapped in a cage for so long.

Tonight, she wasn’t Ladybug or Marinette.

Ladybug often felt like the whole world was resting on her shoulders. Like if she made a single mistake, everyone would judge her for it and hate her.

Marinette was often stressed. Marinette felt like she always had to watch her back, fearing that Lila would do something to her. Marinette had a lot of homework to finish. A lot of commissions to do.

But like she mentioned before, right now, she wasn’t any of her two personas. She was Maribug. Maribug was free. Maribug wasn’t stressed. Maribug didn’t have anyone that had high expectations for her. She was just her.

There was no homework to worry about.

There was no Lila making snide comments about her appearance.

There was no Adrien who glared at her whenever she met his eyes.

There was no Chat Noir who would forcefully ask her on dates, only to throw a giant tantrum when she declined.

There were no hate comments that told her that her life wasn;t worth it. That she should just kill herself .

It was only Maribug and the stars.

It was quiet for a few minutes before Maribug heard voices. They both sounded familiar so Maribug walked closer towards it.

Maribug was facing Master Fu’s shop and saw two people standing on the front. One was obviously Master Fu. He was wearing his trademark bright red shirt with white flowers and light brown pants.

Maribug squinted, trying to figure out why the other guy looked so familiar. Maribug could only see the guys back. He was wearing a dark navy jacket with black sweats. He turned and Marinette saw the familiar blue eyes that could only belong to one person.

Maribug felt a frown stretch onto her face. What was Xavier doing with Master Fu?

Maribug studied the blonde haired boy from the top building. His hair was a mess. And not the usually cute kinda mess. It was more like the i-just-walked-through-a-tornado kinda mess. He had bags under his eyes, which made Maribug assume that he couldn’t sleep.

She couldn’t help but snort. “You and me both.”

However, that noise made Xavier turn his head. His light blue eyes met Maribug’s dark blue ones.

Fuck.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

When XY helped the man back to his home (he told XY to call him Fu!), he did not expect Ladybug to be watching him.

XY couldn’t help but be nervous. Was she still mad about how she got the blue-haired boy akumatized? He apologized! He bought the boy a new guitar and he introduced the kitty band to a good producer and brand deal. He was pretty sure that they were friends now. And if not friends, at least good acquaintances.

Did Ladybug hate him? Can Ladybug even hate anybody? Is he going to be the first person the Ladybug is going to hate?

XY wanted to curl up and cry. As if he needed another flaw.

He faced Fu and gave him a smile.

“Thank you for helping me back to my home.”

XY couldn’t help but feel warmth from that sentence. “It was no problem. I should probably head back now though.”

Fu nodded in agreement and walked inside his massage parlor.

He was about to head to the hotel when Ladybug suddenly appeared in front of him.

If Ladybug was a Pokemon, XY was sure that one of her moves would be teleportation.

“I’m sorry!” XY suddenly blurted out.

“What?”

“I’m sorry for getting the Luka guy akumatized.” he couldn’t bring his eyes to meet hers.

“Xa-” Ladybug suddenly coughed, “I mean XY,” he slowly lifted his eyes from the ground. “It’s okay. I’m not mad at you.”

“But I caused an akumatization!”

Ladybug let out a twinkling laugh that sounded so familiar to him (but he couldn’t figure out why!). He was shaken out of his thoughts when Ladybug gave him a big smile and said, “Chloe caused a ton of akumatizations too and I still gave her the bee miraculous.”

That was true.

“So you don’t hate me?” XY asked meekly.

“Of course not!” XY couldn’t help but give her a small smile. She sounded so offended that she thought that she hated him. “So, why are you walking around this late at night?”

“I just needed to clear my mind. You?”

“Same.”

XY didn’t know what to say. He looked at her and he could see that her eyes were a bit red. Was she crying? “Are you okay?”

“Huh- what…” Ladybug wouldn’t meet his eyes, biting her lip. “I’m fine?”

XY couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow. “Are you sure?”

“Yes.” Their eyes met and XY knew that she could hear the silent question he was asking. Are you okay? XY would not be the one that broke their eye contact. A few seconds passed and all XY could hear was their breathing. It was Ladybug that broke the eye contact, “No.” she whispered.

“Do you wanna talk about it?”

The air was starting to get colder as he waited for her answer.

In the end, she just nodded and held her hand out to him.

Chapter 5

It’s been a week since XY confessed that Marinette was his inspiration for his new song.

To say that he wasn’t freaking out was a lie. XY hasn’t texted or called her since he ran out of her room.

“She hates me now.” He groaned out loud.

XY was a musician. Admitting that Marinette was the inspiration for the song he wrote was basically admitting that the song was about her. And making a song about someone was basically a declaration of love.

XY groaned again. “Why do I have to mess everything up.”

He screamed in his pillow with frustration when he heard a knock at his door.

XY stopped screaming, hoping that the pillow muffled out the noise.

He heard someone knock at his door again. This time, the knocks were more aggressive.

“Coming,” XY shouted.

He was a bit mad that someone interrupted his little pity party but he pulled the door open. “Yes?” he asked, looking up to see who the person was.

He froze in shock. What the fuck did Jagged Stone want with him?

Jagged Stone’s green eyes were glaring at him. His eyes usually reminded XY of grass on a spring day. But right now? Jagged Stone’s eyes reminded him of an ocean during a storm.

XY gulped in fear.

Before XY could open his mouth, Jagged cut him off, his eyes practically piercing through XY’s soul. “What’s going on with you and my niece?”

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Marinette knew her cheeks were red the whole day.

Whether it was because people kept staring at her because of the Instagram post she posted last night or because of the fact that Xavier told her that she was his inspiration for his new song, Marinette didn’t know.

It’s been a week since Xavier ran out of her room and her cheeks still heated up whenever she thought of the afternoon they spent together.

He was just so sweet and supportive towards her. And it’s just been a while since Marinette felt so at ease towards someone. He made her happy.

Too bad they haven’t talked since then.

Marinette wanted to slap herself. Why was she too scared to text him? Every time she tried, it’s like someone froze her hands and she couldn’t move them.

Marinette wanted to groan. Every time she tried to think, his face just kept appearing in her head.

It was a problem.

She never acted this way with Adrien, so why was it so different with Xavier.

She needs to get it in control soon. She didn’t want another Jagged incident to happen.

The thought of her talk with Jagged made Marinette want to scream of embarrassment.

Jagged Stone was commissioning a jacket from her and when she met up with him to discuss what he wanted it to look like, she just kept getting distracted. When Penny noticed and asked Marinette if something was bothering her.

Marinette just spilled. She tried to stop talking but her mouth had a mind of its own. When Marinette finally got her mouth to stop moving, it was too late. Her honorary uncle and aunt knew everything.

Marinette felt someone shake her hand. “Marinette,” a voice urgently said. “The lunch bell just rang. Come on. I’m hungry.”

Marinette got up and tried to focus on her friends. She turned to Alya and Nino. “Did I space out again?”

They both nodded. “You’ve been spacing out all week, dudette.” Nino pointed out. “What’s been going through that head of yours?”

Alya gave Nino a nudge and teasingly smiled. “Not what, who?”

The trio sat down at their table. “Wha-? No. Huh?” Marinette squeaked out. “There’s no one! Uh- I mean there’s nothing.” She laughed nervously. “Just commissions and stuff”

Alya raised an eyebrow, “Sure. Marinette. Sure”

“You know,” Nino butted in. “You never told us we were friends with someone famous.”

“What do you mean?”

“The Instagram thing? Everyone at school is talking about it.”

“Speak for yourself.” Alya gave Nino a smirk. “I knew about it.”

“Of course you did babe.”

“Huh?” Marinette was surprised. She did not know that Alya knew. Why didn’t Alya tell her? “Why didn’t you tell me?”

Alya gave Marinette a pointed look. “You would’ve overreacted and freaked out.” Alya’s face grew dark as she gave Marinette a bone-chilling smirk. “Plus, I wasn’t done telling the people hating on you to butt off.”

Marinette gave her best friend a sincere smile. Alya has always been there for Marinette. They had their moments when they were frustrated with each other, but in the end, their friendship always came out stronger.

Marinette noticed that Nino was silent. She followed his eyes and saw them glaring at Adrien Agreste and Lila Rossi.  

Alya scoffed, “Do you think they’re together yet?”

Nino was still glaring at his ex-best friend. “Not yet,” he muttered. “But those two deserve each other.”

Marinette felt Lila glaring at her. She also felt Adrien’s disappointed gaze burning through her back.

It made Marinette want to turn around and glare at them until they were nothing but mud underneath her shoes.

How dare Adrien be disappointed in her?

It should be the other way around.

Does he have any idea of how devastated Nino was when Adrien broke off their friendship? All because Nino refused to side with that liar. And now he’s “disappointed” at her because she posted a picture?

Marinette growled. How low can this boy get? Not everything revolves around him and Lila. Once Marinette gets her hands on him, she won’t hesitate to burn the boy alive.

When Adrien finally realizes that he has no choice but to give Marinette an apology, Marinette knows that she will never accept it. He doesn’t deserve to be forgiven after everything she put them through. He fooled them. He used them. He was nothing but a boy with good looks.

Adrien Agreste would regret messing with them. He could beg them all he wanted but in the end, he’s not worth anything.

He’s not worth anything in Marinette’s eyes.

He’s not worth anything in Alya’s eyes.

And he’s definitely not worth anything in Nino’s eyes.

Marinette clenched her fists under the table. Adrien and Gabriel Agreste won’t know what hit them when the trio was done with them.

Marinette gave the sausage haired girl a discrete glance.

She might not like Lila that much, but she couldn’t help but feel thankful to the green-eyed Italian. Without her, she would still be obsessing over that coward.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

XY was not dead yet.

He somehow survived an hour-long talk with the Jagged Stone and his scary pink-haired assistant glaring at him.

How?

He had no idea. XY was just happy that he would still be able to see Marinette’s gorgeous face again.

He turned his attention back to Jagged who was in the middle of threatening him.

Jagged looked ready to murder the poor boy. “If you hurt my niece, I will make sure that you can never find a career in music again. I will turn every studio against you so that if they even mention your name, no one will want to work with them either. You will be blacklisted from every company from all over the world.” Jagged Stone’s glare got harsher. “Do I make myself clear?”

XY gulped and nodded in fear. “I would never hurt Marinette.” He said sincerely, his face beginning to heat up. “She’s the best. She’s so talented and I can't even believe that she agreed to design the clothes for my upcoming music video.” He let out a dreamy sigh. “She’s so out of my league.”

Jagged Stone let out a laugh, “Don't I know it, son. No one is worthy of my honorary niece.”

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Penny rolled her eyes and sat down in amusement. She should’ve known that they would end up gushing about how amazing Marinette is. She stared at the two boys in front of her.

She’ll give it 25 minutes before Jagged tries to adopt XY as his honorary son.

Penny felt a buzz in her pocket and realized that Marinette texted her.

Mari: please tell me that Jagged didn’t threaten him

Penny: too late

Penny: you never should’ve mentioned that he wrote a song about you

Mari: it was an accident!!

Mari: I didn’t mean too

Mari: and he didn’t write a song about me

Mari: he said that it was inspired by me

Mari: there’s a difference

Penny rolled her eyes.

Penny: sure

Penny: i've been working with Jagged for years now

Penny: but sure

And if Marinette asked whether the tweet Jagged released had anything to do with anything Penny said?

Penny would never confirm that.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

How is it possible that XY was having a really entertaining conversation with someone who just threatened him a few minutes ago?

XY had no idea.

But he guessed that it was just the Marinette magic.

One moment Jagged Stone was threatening XY, then the next they were talking about how amazing Marinette was.

When Jagged asked if his dad knew about his relationship with Marinette, XY basically went on a whole rant about how much his dad sucks.

XY didn’t mean to. It just slipped.

He didn’t think that Jagged was annoyed at him for ranting about how bad of a father Bob Roth was. In fact, he seemed to agree with everything XY said.

“I would adopt you but you might be dating my niece soon.”

XY heard Penny mutter, “I knew it. Too bad I was five minutes short though.”

Since Jagged ignored her, XY did the same.

XY let out a nervous laugh, trying to contain the blush spreading through his face. “I don’t think Marinette likes me that way, anyway.” Penny turned to him and gave him a pointed look. He rushed to defend himself. “W-we’re just friends.”

Penny and Jagged exchanged glances that screamed ‘not again’.

“Okay, kid.” Jagged retorted. “Why would I come to your room and give you the whole if you hurt her, I will hurt you talk. If she didn’t like you.”

XY gave them a shrug. “I just assumed that you did it to everyone who liked her.”

“If we did that, I would not have time for anything else. Do you know how many admirers my niece has?”

“She has a fan club,” Penny added. “A fan club.”

Jagged looked at XY again. “And that’s just as Marinette. No one but the people who’ve commissioned from her, her parents, and some of her friends know that she’s MDC.”

Penny checked the time. “We have to go. You have an appointment in 10 minutes.”

Jagged stood up and just before he walked out the door he said, “make sure you ask her before it’s too late. You’re not that bad. And if you ever need to trash-talk your dad, just shoot me a DM.”

When Jagged closed his door, XY wanted to scream into his pillow again.

What the heck just happened?

The last hour of his life was unbelievable.

He’s still trying to grasp the fact that it actually happened.

“Holy shit,” XY muttered in disbelief. “Jagged mentioned that Marinette might like me.”

But why?

Was Jagged lying?

It didn’t seem like it. Jagged looked serious.

But why would Marinette like him? She was Marinette and XY was just XY.

XY was an anime-loving nerd who could basically name every Pokemon from all the regions. Sure girls thought he was cute but that didn’t mean anything. Those girls weren’t Marinette. And Marinette deserved someone special. Someone who wasn’t him.

But what if she did like him.

Jagged said so himself. And Penny agreed.

If Penny agreed with jagged, then it must be true. Right?

Everyone knew that Penny had the brains of the duo.

With a small smile, XY pulled out his phone.

If there was a chance that Marinette liked him, XY would take it. He pulled his phone out of his pocket and gave her a call.

Chapter 3

Marinette was sitting on a bench waiting for XY to arrive. She was nervous. Their conversation last night would not leave her head.

Marinette felt her cheeks heat up. 

He called me princess.

When Chat Noir called her that she just felt annoyed. But with XY, it only made her heart beat faster.

"Marinette!" she heard a familiar voice yell. Marinette turned around and noticed XY running up to her. When he finally reached her, he was out of breath. "I've been looking all over for you." He managed to say between gasps.

Marinette looked at him up and down with a bit of disgust. "What kind of disguise is this!" she yelled at him.

XY was wearing a sage-green crewneck that says 'NIKE' in the middle with baggy jeans and black converse. His outfit wasn't the worst. In fact, Marinette liked it. But what she didn't like were the accessories she chose. He was wearing an obnoxious cowboy hat with huge sunglasses that almost covered the upper part of his face. To make it worse, XY was also wearing an obnoxiously fake mustache.

XY winced at her reaction and meekly said, "A disguise?"

Marinette let out a huff. "I can not believe I am being seen next to you right now. The fashion gods must've cursed me or something."

XY let out a laugh and Marinette had a feeling that he was rolling his eyes at her. Of course, she couldn't be sure because of those hideous sunglasses. XY tugged her arm, "Come on." he smirked. "The faster we get to your house, the faster you won't be seen with a so-called fashion disaster like me."

Marinette scrunched her nose and started walking towards the bakery. "Hurry up." She exclaimed, letting out a small laugh. "I already know that you can't come up with a subtle disguise, but I hope that you aren't slow as well."

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

XY was out of breath, yet again, when they arrived at the front door of the bakery. "You're fast." He let out a breath. “That wasn’t fair. I literally ran to the park so I could hang out with you, then you make me run even more.”

Marinette pulled the door open and winked at him. "I know." She gave her parents a quick hug and turned back to XY. "Do you want anything?"

XY looked at the baked goods and scrunched his eyebrows. "Can I have a croissant and a strawberry macaroon, please?"

He was about to reach for his wallet when Marinette quickly stopped him. "It's on the house." She said reassuringly. XY opened his mouth to protest and Marinette narrowed her eyes and gave him the items he wanted. "It's on the house," she repeated, this time glaring at him..

XY looked at Mrs. Dupain-Cheng for help but she only gave him a smile. "Don't argue with her, dear. She does this for all her friends. She won't take no for an answer."

"My mom's right." Marinette agreed. "Now come on” Marinette tugged his sleeve. “We have plans to make."

Before he could reply, Marinette led him upstairs to her bedroom.

"Woah," XY exclaimed in surprise.

Whatever he was expecting Marinette’s room to look like, it was not this.  

"Why are you so sho-" Marinette stopped talking right when she turned so she could face her room and her face went bright red. She let out a scream of embarrassment. "I swear I thought I put all of this away! I can't believe I forg- UGH!" she let out a huff of frustration. "You think I'm creepy now, don't you." she said, her eyes on the ground.

XY gave her room another quick glance before facing her. She had Adrien Agreste's face everywhere. There were posters with Adrien's face all over her wall. The wallpaper on her desktop was Adrien. Her room was basically an Adrien Agreste shrine.

Yet, XY had seen worse. Seeing her room, it was obvious that she has a crush on Adrien Agreste. He held in a scoff. Of course, she does. He thought. Why would she ever like me anyways. I’m a nobody when compared to the so-called sunshine boy of Paris.

XY could feel Marinette's eyes staring at him. He's been silent for a while.

Marinette probably assumed that he hated her and thought she was a creep. "Nope," XY said, a bit louder than necessary. He winced before he added, "I don't think you're a creep." his voice a bit softer this time.

"Yes, you do," Marinette stated, her hands hiding her face. "You took way too long to respond."

"I was taking in the scenery."

"What scenery?" Marinette asked. Though, XY could hear a teasing tone behind it. "My embarrassed face or my even more embarrassing room." Marinette plopped down on her bed. "I thought I took down all the posters and got rid of his face on my desktop." She faced him and smiled sheepishly, "I guess I was so excited to meet up with you that I forgot to take all this-" she gestured around her room "off."

"If it helps," XY tried to say. "This really isn't that bad." When Marinette stared at him as if he grew a tail, he added. "Trust me, I've seen way worse."

And just like that, the tense and awkward atmosphere was gone.

It was silent for a few seconds when Marinette spoke. "Me and my friend Alya” Marinette wouldn’t meet his eyes again. “We were supposed to take down all my posters and burn them." It was XY's turn to stare at Marinette as she was the one who grew a tail, but Marinette didn’t notice it or she just ignored him. "I'm over him. I actually can't believe I ever liked him in the first place."

"What changed?"

Marinette waved the question off. "I'll tell you later. Now, let's start planning the photo shoot."

XY stared at her for a few seconds, trying to see if she was telling the truth or not. "Okay.” He surrendered. “But you're telling me everything later."

"Maybe Marinette teased. "Now come on XY-"

"Xavier." he interrupted. Marinette scrunched her eyebrows in confusion. "Call me Xavier."

"Oh." Marinette looked at him with a cute smile on her face. "Well come on Xavier," she said his name in a teasing tone. "Let's get planning."

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Planning her 'I'm back cause I didn't realize that I somehow have over 200,000 followers on insta' photoshoot took a lot faster than Marinette thought it would.

XY, no, Xavier was a natural at it. She guessed it was because he was used to this kind of thing.

Marinette looked at her pink notebook. It was where she wrote down all the plans they made and the suggestions he gave her. "Thank you so much for helping me!" she exclaimed in excitement. "You have no idea how much this means to me."

Xavier took a bite out of his macaroon, "You're welcome. It wasn't that hard anyways, so it's all good."

Marinette studied him. Technically, she couldn’t take her eyes off of him, but same thing.

He took off that horrible disguise of his so she could actually see his face.

Like Marinette said before, Xavier was hot. He had a sharp jawline, which brought out his ocean blue eyes and his golden blonde hair was shining in the sun.

If Xavier ever asked Marinette who she believed his godly parent was, she would definitely say Apollo. Apollo was often described by Percy as hot. Someone with blonde hair and blue eyes. It also helps that Xavier was a musician.

Marinette let out a dreamy sigh before quickly widening her eyes. She tried to make it look like she wasn't staring at him but it was too late.

Xavier caught her. He gave her a smirk that practically made Marinette melt and raised an eyebrow. "Take a picture. It'll last longer."

Marinette wanted to take him up on that offer. Instead, she forced out a laugh and threw a pillow at him. "Wow. How original."

Xavier rolled his eyes and stuck out his tongue.

Could this guy get any hotter?

"So." Xavier said.

"So?" Marinette replied with confusion.

"What's up with you burning down all the pictures of-" he gestured at her posters.

"Oh," Marinette couldn’t bring himself to meet his eyes. "That."

"Are you alright?" His voice was soft.

Marinette looked at him in surprise.

Should she lie?

Marinette couldn’t bring himself to lie to him. He asked her that question with such sincerity. As if he actually wanted to know if she was okay

Instead, Marinette scoffs. "Did you know that you’re the second person who ever asked me that question?"

He didn’t reply.

Stupid. Marinette scolded herself. Why did she say that to him? Now he was going to hate her and think she’s just looking for attention.

Marinette stiffened. Xavier’s arms were around her.

He was giving her a hug.

Usually, Marinette would be freaking out about someone like him hugging her.

But right now, all she could do was hug him tighter and finally let go of all the tears that she's been holding in.

Note: I suck at writing sad scenes. So don't end up being surprised if my attempted angsty chapters end up being cringy.

Also, how do you guys want me to address XY? Do you want me to keep addressing him as XY or Xavier outside of Marinette's dialogue? I tried to address him with his actual name, Xavier, in this chapter. But I don't really know if I like it or not, so please give me your feedback on that.

Yes actually
