“I don’t understand why you’re trying to scare me off.”

X [OPEN]

Adrien turned away, feeling bile burn it’s way to the back of his throat. He gripped his left elbow so tightly he could feel the bite of his nails through the fabric of his shirt. Marinette had no way of knowing what he hid from her - what he was still hiding for months now. And it ate at him every time he was around her. Why couldn’t he tell her? How could he? He was being ripped apart from the inside.

“I’m not trying to scare you off, Mari,” he said, still not meeting her eyes, “I’m trying to warn you.”

“Warn me?” Marinette asked, a hitch in her voice that made Adrian’s own chest clench, “Trying to get me fired from your father’s company is you warning me?”

“You don’t understand,” Adrien fumbled over his own words, strugging to find a way to tell her without actually telling her , “My family, we’re…we have a history of hurting the people we love the most. You should get out while you still can.” There was a long stretch of silence after that, and it lengthened until Adrien almost glanced up to see if Mari was still there.

“Adrien, that’s crap and you know it,” Marinette said, “What is this really about?”

Adrien wanted to scream. To demand that the universe tell him where he’d fucked up so royally that he deserved this. He was trapped in a cage of his own making. The longer he waited to tell Mari, the worse it would be. But every time he considered it - let himself imagine telling her that Gabriel Agreste, his own father, was their most hated enemy, every brave bone in his body dissolved into a puddle of abject terror. He would rather face a thousand akuma before he faced this. But he’d asked her here for a reason.

“Adrien,” Mari’s voice had softened, and he shuddered at the feel of her fingers on his cheek. She gently pulled his face back toward her and he let her, eyes falling shut.

“Do you remember what we promised each other that first night? Back when we were forced to reveal our identities?”

How could he forget? "'No more secrets.’” he whispered, self loathing making his stomach churn.

“Right,” she said, and to his surprise, she laughed a little, “That was part of it. But I was thinking about the other part. You know, the whole being there for eachother no matter what thing?”

Adrien swallowed hard. “I remember.” He said, barely audible. It was getting hard to breath.

“What I’m trying to say is that, whatever it is you’re going through. Whatever’s bothering you, I’m here for you. You can talk to me.” Adrien leaned into her hand, savoring the soothing feel of her words and touch. He didn’t know how much longer either would last.

“Marinette, please, stop. I don’t deserve your sympathy,” He said finally, and slowly pulled her hand from his face. It stung like a band-aid removed too slowly.

“Adri, how can you say something like that?” Marinette started, sounding more angry than she had when she’d called him out for working to get her fired from her dream job. Adrien shook his head, clenching his fists at his side.

“Mari, if you knew, you would-you’d-” His voice choked and he ran a hand through his hair in frustration. You’d leave. He finished silently. And that’s what it all boiled down to in the end, didn’t it? Instead of doing the right thing, what a deserving Miraculous holder would do, he’d lied to Mari’s face. All to protect himself. He really wasn’t any different than his father, was he?

“Adrien Agreste, will you please look at me?” Mari asked, and the desperation in her voice finally gave him the courage that his conscience couldn’t. Swallowing hard, he forced himself to meet her gaze, his resolve wavering when he saw the way her eyebrows creased with worry and hurt, her eyes shining with unshed tears. Her eyes searched his, and what she saw only seemed to paint the lines of worry deeper on her face. “I promised I’d be with you no matter what,” she said, “If nothing else, you can believe in that. Nothing you could do or say could ever make me break that promise. The only reason I’m still standing here to keep it is because you’ve always been by my side. Let me return the favor,” she said, “Please Adrien, let me help you. I can see that you’re hurting. Tell me what’s going on.”

Adrien swallowed against a heavy onslaught of guilt and gratitude, jaw aching. How could he refuse a plea like that? And from Mari of all people?

Taking a bolstering breath, he spoke before his fear could steal his voice again, “What if I told you…” he started haltingly, “That…I might know something that could end it all? That I have known for months now? And I haven’t told you?”

Mari’s eyes clouded with confusion, “‘End it all?’”

“You know? The key to defeating Hawkmoth once and for all and saving everyone: His secret identity.”

Mari’s eyes widened, but she didn’t step away, “You know who he is? Adrien that’s…that’s amazing.” Her eyes glittered with more than just tears now, and he wished he didn’t have to crush the glimmer of hope he saw there. He knew what she must be thinking. Their lives would be so much easier if Hawkmoth was gone. They could actually have a life outside the Miraculous. They wouldn’t be spending every spare moment desperately working to keep the people of Paris safe. Their loved ones would be spared the fear and pain of his constant attacks.

“No, it’s not,” Adrien said acidly, “It’s the opposite of amazing. There’s a reason I haven’t told you…” He went back to gripping his elbow and took a shuddering breath. This was the part he’d been dreading.

Mari reached up to squeeze his shoulder reassuringly, and Adrien smiled bitterly. “I’ve known who he is for months, you know? And I didn’t tell you. Because I was scared.” He let out of disgusted huff of air at his own cowardice. Mari didn’t curl her own lip in disgust, instead she just waited, no judgement in her gaze. Just patience and worry for her trusted friend. Of course she did, because she was Mari, and she was a better person than he was.

“I was afraid of what you’d do if you found out. Of what we’d have to do…So I broke your trust,” Adrien tried to make her understand, to see just how awful he’d been, to push past her blind faith in him, “Don’t you get it? You offered me your deepest secret, and I took that trust and…and I destroyed it, Mari.”

Mari shook her head, stubbornly refusing to give him the punishment he deserved, “Adrien, I lied to you for years. It’s not like I can judge you. Plus, I know you well enough by now to know that you’d never do anything to hurt me. Whatever reason you have for lying, I know it was a good one.”

“This would be a lot easier if you weren’t so…Mari about this,” Adrien said, feeling sapped of strength by her compassion, “But I promised you I wouldn’t lie anymore, and yet here I am…”

“Telling me the truth,” she finished, “I still lie to my parents every day. You do it. And we do it for the same reason.” she said, eyes pleading with him to listen to her, “We do it to protect…them…” Mari’s voice trailed off, then her eyes widened at a sudden realization, and her mouth fell open, all traces of color leaving her face. “Adrien,” her voice was wooden, and his own blood turned to ice in his veins, “Who is Hawkmoth?”

He looked away again. He wasn’t strong enough to see her face when he finally told her. “It’s…my father,” he whispered, the words twisting like snakes from his mouth, “Gabriel Agreste is Hawkmoth.” He turned his whole body away from her, gripping both his elbows now, shoulders rising to his ears with tension. It was all he could do to keep his eyes on the ground and his body still.

“Oh, Adrien,” Mari breathed behind him, and he shuddered, eyes stinging with tears he refused to shed. This was only what he deserved, he reminded himself. Not even Mari could forgive him for what he’d done, and he couldn’t blame her.

He stiffened when Mari’s arms wrapped around him from behind, her face sending waves of warmth through him from where it rested against his back. “Oh Adrien,” she said again, and he didn’t dare move, “I’m so sorry.”

Adrien didn’t trust himself to speak, he just shook his head, swallowing desperately against a sob that threatened to escape. Mari’s embrace tightened.

“Oh God, it must’ve been awful,” she said, voice rough with her own tears, “This whole time. And I never even noticed how bad you were hurting. I’m so, so sorry. You shouldn’t have to go through this alone.” She reached to grab one of his limp hands and pull it to his chest, thumb rubbing soothing circles in his palm. Adrien couldn’t stop his limbs from trembling, months of pent up guilt squeezing at his throat, finally working its way through in a broken whimper he was instantly ashamed of. Mari pressed herself against his back in answer to his distress.

“No, Mari, I don’t deser-” his voice was barely recognizable through the humiliating heaves wracking his entire frame.

“I swear to god,” Mari said, “If you try to tell me you don’t deserve my sympathy I’ll ask Tiki to summon some duct tape just to shut you up.” Adrien felt Mari’s whole body shudder against his back. She squeezed his hand before resuming her circular motion with her thumb, and Adrien was dimly aware of the back of his shirt dampening with her tears.

He no longer had the strength to protest, and lost himself in her comforting embrace and his own sorrow, hardly understanding what he was crying for. He was only aware of an overwhelming sense of loss he hadn’t dared acknowledge since he’d learned his father’s secret. It was a deep seated grief that had slithered under his skin and sunk its wickedly sharp claws claws deeper and deeper the longer he ignored it, and pulling it free revealed long festering wounds that left him aching and sick inside.

Underneath that, though, he felt heartening warmth spreading from everywhere Mari touched. He’d finally confessed his darkest secret to her, and she hadn’t left. She’d stayed with him, just like she’d promised. If in no one else, he could have faith in her.

“Can you explain memes to me?” - Corrin

Adrien paused, steaming spoonful of the camp stew halfway to his mouth. “Uh.” he said intellectually.

“It’s uh-they’re…kind of like…” he was struck suddenly with how much he missed Nino, “A bunch of inside jokes that the whole internet knows about?”

“Don’t write checks your dick can’t cash.” - Asher

X [OPEN]

Adrien looked up in surprise at his project partner, apology dying on his lips.

He wasn’t sure why the words set off a sudden spark of irritation, but he immediately felt his hackles rise. “I know I’ve missed a lot of meetings, but I have been sending you my part of the assignment,” Adrien said. And he had, despite mounting exhaustion and a growing dread that he wouldn’t be physically able to fight off the next akuma attack. They’d been popping up with alarming frequency lately, and he’d either been late for or missed every one of their group project meetings, including this one. Okay, on second thought, maybe he kind of deserved the rebuke.

“Look, I brought you coffee,” he said, tone softening slightly as he dropped two steaming cups onto the library table.
