A/N: HAHA I HAVE NO LIFE SO WHY NOT TRY TO UPDATE???

LET'S GET THIS! THIS IS THE REACTION TO MARINETTE'S LETTERS! There's a bit of friendship with Alya and Adrien in the beginning because not many people focus on their relationship, y'know?

I LOVED WRITING THISSSS!

~

Adrien's POV

Someone grabbed my shoulders, snapping me out of my dreamless sleep. Nino, his eyes, red and puffy, hands gripping my shoulders tightly. "Dude, wake up."

I slowly opened my eyes. I checked my phone. It read 5:00 am. 

Blinking them blearily, I asked, "What's so important it couldn't wait until- Alya!" I sprinted to the other side of the room. Alya was curled up in her sheets, sobbing into her pillow. She was shaking uncontrollably, one of her fists curled up into a ball. I noticed a sliver of paper sticking out of her clenched hand.

"Nino, what's that?" 

"I dunno dude," he shook his head worriedly, "she hasn't let me near her."

I decided I needed to know what it said. I slowly approached her, reaching for a hug. She looked up at me, then buried herself under her duvet, refusing to meet my gaze. Not relenting, I gently peeled the covers off her hiccuping figure, and this time I pulled her straight into a hug. She stiffened up at first, but then she slumped against me. "I..I-"

"Alya," I softly asked, "Can I see that piece of paper in your hand?"

She unclasped her clenched fist and handed me the wrinkled paper. She spoke so softly I almost missed what she said, "You have some too." 

I nodded and smoothed out the paper. It read-

Dear Alya,

God, where do I even start? You've been my best friend since, well, forever! I'm not sure if you've read someone else's note, but even if you have, keep reading please. By the time you've finished reading this, I'll be long gone. I've got some important things to take care of and I'm afraid that they can't involve you- or anyone else, for that matter. Don't try to follow me or track me, I've done everything necessary- like deleting my tracking app, changing my passwords, putting up more security shields- to prevent this changing from a solo quest. I have to save my father, he's on the verge of dying. Ask mama for more information. I swear on my life (not like that's going to matter anyway) that I wrote this of my own accord, I haven't been kidnapped or anything. That was why I wanted to take you guys everywhere today, why I paid for that expensive dinner even though you said not to, why I asked for that final selfie. Please read the other letters; except for the one labelled Chat Noir, please give it to him. In time, he might tell you about the secret I've been hiding for a while now. I warned Nino about breaking your heart, but the same goes for you- if you hurt him, I'll hurt you :)

Love you so much bff,
Marinette xx

My heart shattered. The world was spinning. I couldn't think straight. Two words ran through my head on repeat.

Marinette's gone.
Marinette's gone.

I could only see red. I sped to the other side of the room. Nino was there, his open letter beside him, his head buried in his knees, arms trembling. I swiped up the letter and shakily skimmed through it.

Dear Nino,

Hey Nino. Maybe you've read someone else's note, I don't know. But I do know that by the time you've read this, I'll be long gone. Well, you've probably noticed I'm missing. I have some important business to take care of. This note wasn't forced, in case you were wondering. I haven't been kidnapped or anything. I left of my own accord; what I have to do can't wait. That's why I took you guys everywhere today- I wanted to spend this last day with you guys. My father's life is hanging in the balance, and it's up to me to restore it. Alone. Don't try to follow me, I've deleted my tracking app and changed all my passwords and stuff so no one can try to hack into my phone or find me. Please stay safe. You were like a brother to me. And don't even think about breaking Alya's heart because if I could, I'd come back and tear yours into a million pieces :) Before you go, there's something I've been hiding from you three for a very long time. If Chat Noir received his letter, he might tell you what it is.

Love,
Marinette x

Marinette's gone.
Marinette's gone.

I broke into a million pieces with every word I read. Tears began to well in my eyes. By now, Nino and Alya had recovered enough so that they were no longer crying or shaking. Something told me that Alya had been shedding tears for hours.

I stomped over to my bed and tore the envelope open with such force it ripped into tiny pieces.

"Uh, A-Adrien?" Alya called. 

I ignored her and began reading the letter addressed to me.

Dear Adrien,

Oh boy, this is going to be a tough note to write.

I loved you. Ever since you gave me that umbrella after school. I guess you never noticed my feelings, and eventually- I began loving someone else too. Chat Noir. But the truth is, I never got over you. I'd been trying to choose between the two of you for some time now, not to mention Luka (he's great and all, but I only like him as a friend). I just couldn't though. My dad is going to die unless I retreive some objects. Don't worry about me, even though I know you probably never liked me, I don't want you guys to be hung up on me. Move on. I very much doubt you'll ever see me again- alive, that is. You are strong, so I didn't want to hide the truth from you or the others. I left another note on your bedside, please give it to Chat Noir. If you give him the note, he might tell you what it says.

Goodbye, and I love you,
Marinette ❤️

I shook uncontrollably. Alya came to comfort me whilst Nino gently picked up the letter and they both read it. 

"God," he whispered, "Marinette..."

Suddenly, my brain remembered that Marinette had mentioned a letter to Chat Noir. 

Inconsiderate brain- I had to read all three letters before I remembered.

 But with incredibly bad timing, Luka and Kagami knocked on our door and entered. "Hey, we came to ask if you guys wanted to...go... guys? What's wrong?"

Kagami rushed over and let me sob into her chest. Even though I don't like her that way, I was still grateful for the comfort.

Alya and Nino did their best to explain the situation to the other two, but my mind was solely focused on the unopened letter addressed to Chat Noir on my bedside. With great difficulty, I stood up, pushed Kagami away, and stumbled towards the letter. 

Everyone in the room was now fixated on me.

"Erm, Adrien?" Luka called out. "That's addressed to Chat Noir, shouldn't we give it him?"

I looked him straight in the eyes, and an understanding seemed to pass through us. 

"God," he whispered, "who would have thought?"

"Huh? What is it?" Everyone else asked.

"Adrien's Chat Noir."

Dear Chat Noir,

I was Ladybug. The Miracle Box is behind my pillow. I loved both you and Adrien Agreste. I couldn't choose who I loved, but know that you were one of them. I won't live through this mission. I need to save my dad.

Goodbye,
Love you,
Marinette ❤️

WAIT, WHAT?!

I stormed over to Marinette's side of the bed and threw the pillow to one side. There sat the Miracle Box, still in it's Ladybug form. 

Oh.
My.
God.

Marinette is gone.
Marinette is Ladybug.
Ladybug is gone.
Marinette and Ladybug are gone.
They both loved me.
I loved both of them.

Everyone crowded around me, reading the letter, and when they finished, they all looked up at me, my fear and heartbreak reflecting in their faces.

I was feeling dizzy, my vision swimming in and out of focus. I dropped to the ground, the world fading to black.

"Marinette..."
