The talk
Adrien dreaded talking to Marinette.
As she led him into the next room, his eyes darted from place to place. Anywhere except her. In the end, he decided to just stare at the ground.
Unfortunately, he couldn't remain like that forever.
"Look at me, Adrien."Marinette said.
When he didn't do that, Marinette sighed and said,"Look, I'm not sorry for doing this. I had to do it, if not Hawkmoth wins and we're all dead."
Adrien continued staring at the ground, but he said,"You shouldn't apologize. What you did was right. I....just never expected that the girl I liked was sitting right in front of me. I'm just stupid, okay? I can't even tell the similarity between you and Ladybug....I mean....you, if you get what I mean."
Adrien could see Marinette's head shaking,"You shouldn't be blamed. I, too was also oblivious to the fact that you were Chat Noir. When Alya said you looked a lot like Chat Noir, I didn't believe it. I do now......"
Adrien looked up and smiled,"So I take it as a fact that we're both stupid idiots?"
Marinette smiled too,"For the stupid part, I agree. For the idiot part, I think that all goes to you."
"So....we're good, right?"Adrien said.
"Yeah."But she suddenly frowned."But what will happen at school? I mean, we've gone for a few days now. Alya will definitely notice, plus she still suspects Sophie and the others."
Adrien hesitated, that would be a problem. If Alya didn't stop poking around into Sophie's business, she would definitely find out the truth. They had to do something. Fast.
Eventually, he told her,"We tell her not to bother Sophie anymore."
"Yeah, but how? You know Alya, she doesn't give up easily."Marinette said.
Adrien sighed,"We'll think of something, right now, let's get back to the others."
Marinette nodded, and they went back into the room and saw everyone packing up.
"Where are we going?"Adrien asked.
"We're going over to Havenfield to have dinner, Elwin's coming too. He doesn't want to leave you guys until your condition stabilizes. So he's joining us."Biana said.
"Is it me, or is Marinette and Adrien coming close to my record of Healing Centre visits?"Sophie asked.
"Nah, no one could ever be you, Foster. Anyways, they have to get through me first!!!"Keefe said.
Everyone chuckled, and they linked hands and leaped off to Havenfield.
......................................................................................................
"So....Sophie, are these your new....friends?"Grady asked.
Sophie groaned,"Yes, Dad."
"Hmmmmmmmm.........."Grady said.
"Oh Grady, cut it out. If Sophie says their her friends, they're her friends."Edaline came in, holding a plate of vegetables, that didn't seem very appetizing to Marinette.
"Fine, but I'm watching you."Grady said, as he sank back into his seat.
As everyone sat, Sophie saw Marinette's and Adrien's hesitation to eat the food on the table, and she chuckled.
"Don't worry, the food is really good."
Both of them still looked hesitant, but in the end, they ate some of the veges and their faces immediately brightened and they started taking lots of it.
As they ate, Dex said,"Hey, does anyone of you have a picture of the Hawkmoth guy? I would like to identify his face."
Adrien nodded at Dex, who was sitting right next to him,"Though his face is always hidden by a mask, I got a picture, here."he handed Dex a copy of Hawkmoth's evil face, and Dex started examining it.
As Marinette was about to take a bite of one of her veges again, someone's phone rang.
She narrowed her eyes at Adrien who chuckled nervously and he took the phone call.
"Father?"
"......Sorry, I decided to crash at my friend's place, I'll come back soon, I promise."He then ended the call and everyone returned to eating, everyone except Dex.
He sat frozen and stared at Adrien's phone,"Y-You...."
"What?"
"Show me your Dad's face, I caught a glimpse of it earlier while you were picking up the phone."
Adrien shrugged and handed his phone to Dex, who stared blankly at Gabriel Agreste's face.
"So its true...."Dex muttered.
"What is true?"Everyone asked.
"Hawkmoth is Adrien's father."
Sorry for this kinda sucky chapter.....But whatever. Deal with it. Though I promise I'll update soon!
