Summary
Adrien shut the door behind him, and for the first time in years, he shakily locked the door. With his back pressed against the door, he slid down, his heart beating loudly in his ears. It seemed as though that was the only sound. Well, besides his shallow breaths. Gingerly, his touched his cheek. He winced; that was bound to leave a bruise.

Summary
"Adrien?" she asked again, growing anxious.
Slowly, his eyes met hers. "I..." He stopped, glancing away and shaking his head. "This isn't the best time for this."
Not the best time for what? What was he hiding? "Adrien?"
He sighed, his lip twitching toward a frown. "Marinette, I'm the one who did this to you." He flinched, even though she didn't say anything. He looked down at his hands, finally taking off the silver ring he'd been twisting the entire time. "Please take this," he whispered, "I don't want it. I don't want to help him anymore. I don't want to hurt you."
Marinette stared at the ring as he pressed it into her palm and stood up. "I'm sorry," he said again, as though it were the only thing he could say. He looked as though he was going to kiss her forehead, but he backed away at the last second. "I'm sorry."
