Chapter Text
Sitting on the highest shelf of Adrien’s Book case, Plagg is on his morning wash. Liking careful his paws he watches how his chosen, rush trough his room, letting a trace of chaos behind him. “I know that it has to be somewhere here” mutter Adrien under his breath. Plagg finished his left ear with “What are you looking for?” ask he purrs and start with his right one.
“My Marinette Lucky charm. I know that I had it with me yesterday” Adrien emptied his book bag at once “and now it seems to be vanished” mutter he again and look trough the books, sighing deeply Adrian sits down in his desk chair “ I know, that I don’t lost it” Plagg gnaw light on his Paw and trey to ignore the teenager drama under near him.
“could you stop liking yourself and help me?” ask Adrien annoyed.
Plagg licks one lest Time over his leg fur, before he fly down to his chosen, sitting on the keyboard of the computer he continues his morning wash.
“What do I get if I help you?” Adrien looks hopeful to him
“A good feeling that you helped me?”
“nice try”
Sighing again Adrien lean back on his chair “look it means really much to me that I find it again, so please Plagg”
“when it means so much to you why did you lost it in the first place?” Plagg grin in is paw. It was too much fun for him, to know that of all girl who lifes in Paris it was Ladybug who given Adrien the lucky charm.
“I didn’t lose it on propose” looking over to his clock Adrian growl and start to collect his item for the school-day putting everything back into his book bag.
“You know what I’m going to ask someone else for help” Plagg fly into the open offered bag, pock out his head again, he smirks mischievous “ Go ahead kid, but maybe, you don’t ask pigtail girl, for help” Adrien’s eyebrows shoot up in confusion
“And why not? I’m sure Marinette don’t mind it to help me” Plagg’s grin grows
“And telling her that you lost her lucky charm? Really kid, you are a brave Man” Adrien’s green eyes wide shocked, with a satisfaction humming Plagg made himself confinable in Adrien’s bag.
Adrien wait on the front door of the school for his friends. Plagg’s words echoed still in his mind. Even if he would ask Marinette for help she wouldn’t be angry at him for loosing her Charm right?
Or maybe she would?
Alya and Nino were making their way to him, god thanks without Marinette “Hey Guys” waved he nervous to them
“Hey Dude what’s wrong?” ask Nino immediately
“I need your help” Alya eyes narrows “What happen Sunshine? Did someone brother you?” Adrian shock his head “No. Nothing like this. I need your help to find something “
“And what?” ask Nino Adrien swallow dry the clump in his throat
“ My Marinette Lucky charm?” whisper he
Alya tilting her head to the side “ What is between you and Marinette anyway ?” ask she careful
” Uhm We are just Friends” Alya roll her eyes
“Sunshine you two run yesterday thru Paris and everyone thought now that you two are more than friends” Adrien grimace “ She helps me to escape this mop of fans not more” Alya looks unimpressed to him, Nino share a view with his girlfriend
“This doesn’t explain why you are looking for a Lucky Charm who wears Marinette’s name Dude”
“Good Morning” interrupt Marinette’s happy voice their Talk.
“Morning girl” answer Alya without looking to her Nino raise his hand at her and didn’t let his best friend out of his view either.
“What’s going on?” ask Marionette amused.
“ Adrien lost the Charm you give him” response Alya.
Adrien’s blood froze in his vanes, how was Marinette’s reaction of this?
Would she be angry with him?
Disappoint that he was so careless with her gift?
Marinette’s blue eyes only wide “Oh No I totally forgot this, here” she open her purse and take out his Lucky charm.
“ Where did you find it?” ask Adrien relieved as he takes back the charm
“ It was the possessed item” explain Marinette
“I became it afterwards “ added she with a smile Adrien looks up to her
“But why are you in the possession of it? Ladybug leave pretty quick after Gorizila was defeated” Marinette tip her Feet in the ground.
“It wasn’t Ladybug who give it to me. Ahm It was Chat Noir” lie she, and Adrien knows that it was a lie, because he is Chat Noir, and he hadn’t given Marinette this Charm. Heck he would have keep it instant of franking out.
”You meet Chat Noir! Girl you have to tell me everything!” Marinette rubbing unsure the back of her neck, she smiles nervous
“Uhm there is not much to t...tell Alya” the blogger gives her friend a found look
“ Come on….”
“Did he tell you that it was the posed item?” interrupt Adrien their talk, Marinette avoid his look and nod quickly, a lie again.
Why would Marinette lie to him and this twice?
She wasn't talking bad about his alt ego to Alya, No she was more trying to bring Alya to drop the subject.
But why?
Why would Marinette do this?
”Come on dudes we are going to be late” said Nino and wrap his arm around Adrien’s shoulder and pulled him into the school building.
During the Morning, Adrien couldn’t shake up the conversation, he had with his friends, his mind had already made a few scenarios up, Why Marinette had his Lucky Charm, but no one explain why she lied.
Even when Ladybug would have told her to rest silent over her involved, what was impossible, his lady would never force someone to lie for her. He was so sure of this like the sky was blue and the fields green.
“Adrien can you answer me please?”
By the mention of his name he looks up in shock, damn he hasn’t played attention! Madam Bustier wait for his answer
“ Ahem can yo.” Nino interrupt him with a stub into his rips, reaching him a small paper under the table Nino nod quickly.
”There is nothing more deceptive than an obvious fact” read he aloud, what the hell was this meaning?
”Exactly” Response Madam Bustier
“I’m impressed Adrian, is one of Sir Doyle’s seldom knowledge sent” Adrien give her his best model smile, in the hope the Teacher would go on soon with the lesson. What Madam Bustier god thanks did.
He nods thankful to his friend, smirking Nino point with his thumb over his shoulder. Right at the moment Adrien look over his shoulder, something in his head made click and everything feel into place.
Adrien’s heart clinch painful into his chest, it was so obvious that it should be funny how easy it turned out to be, but it wasn't funny, not for him. This was the only possibility, how Marinette knows that the charm was the posed item even that not even he knows it.
That it was still in here possession, what shouldn't be possible, and the reason she lied about meeting Chat.
With a soft blush on her cheeks Marinette give him a warm smile, a smile she had given him a million times before, only behind a mask.
