She Lies! Part 2

The response to yesterday’s drabble was overwhelmingly positive, and there was a general clamor for more.  So here, have a short, sweet follow-up drabble!  Hopefully, this is a better conclusion than the last one.  :)

Marinette stopped her sewing machine curiously, and waited.

There.  The quiet tapping resumed, drawing her attention up to her skylight.

He was back.

She shut her machine off entirely and climbed up to the loft, worrying her lower lip with her teeth as her mind raced.  She known that he’d be back, she just didn’t know when.  Now that he was here, she didn’t know what she’d say.  Apologize for freaking out?  For sticking her nose into his business?  For lying to him?

She released her now-tender lip with a sigh, and peered up into glowing green eyes.  He waved, his hand inky black against the dark sky, and she waved him in.  His eyes crinkled with a smile she couldn’t see.  She didn’t wait for him; she knew he’d follow her down, so she climbed down from the loft as he lifted the door and dropped through into her room.

“Hello, Princess,” he said, perched on the side of her bed with his legs hanging over the side.  He was smiling, but she could tell that it was forced. “I wasn’t sure you’d even let me in.”

He wasn’t sure of his welcome here, she realized.  “Of course I let you in.  You’re always welcome here.”

He relaxed a bit, but he still looked uncertain.  “Even after…last time?”

She sank onto her chaise with a sigh, and shook her head.  “What happened last time—that was my fault.  I should never have been so nosy about your personal life, and I should not have lied to you.  I’m sorry.”

In response, he leapt lightly down from her bed, caught the back of her desk chair, and wheeled it over so that it was right in front of her.   He sat, and tilted her chin up with a crooked finger.  “I do accept your apology, but it wasn’t all you.  I baited you, and then I pushed you to give answers you didn’t want to give.  I’m sorry, Marinette.”

Marinette summoned a small smile.  “It’s alright, Chat.”  His hand fell from her chin, and his smile turned more genuine.  She cleared her throat.   “Amelie came clean, a few days ago.”

“Did she, now?”  Chat sat back in the chair, and examined the claws on one hand.  “That’s good.”

“Mm-hmm. Actually, she confessed to the whole class.  It was quite a turn-around.”  Marinette crossed her arms, and attempted to appear stern.  “You didn’t happen to talk to her about all of this, did you?”

He shifted his attention to his other hand.  “I might have taken her aside, and asked her to kindly set the record straight.”  He met her gaze then, and grinned unrepentantly.  “After all, I can’t have my lady thinking me some kind of tomcat with an unfaithful heart.”

Marinette chuckled, and hoped that he wouldn’t notice her blush.  “I doubt very seriously that she ever thought anything of the sort, Chaton.”

Unfortunately for Marinette, he did see the blush—and he caught her accidental use of Ladybug’s nickname for him.

Marinette was Ladybug.

Chat tucked the revelation away for the time being, knowing that he’d have an opportunity to take it out and lose his mind over it, later.  For now, he was perfectly happy to enjoy this strange, budding friendship with Marinette as well as whatever time he was able to spend with Ladybug.

She would tell him when she was ready.

Chat Noir smiled again, and this time, it was entirely genuine.

you should have left their real names on i'm so pissed i want to report them too

I would love to but I cannot do that for the sake of my own personal safety anon. Please understand that if I do that then this would be linked to my (way more public) facebook account and I am already receiving too much hate there. Thank you very much for caring 💕 we need more kind souls like you in these trying times. Don’t worry, I am a strong, nasty woman who refuses to silence her voice just because of a few schoolground bullies 💪🏻

Well, since you opened that can of worms.... What's the status of your Elemental fic? I know you've been busy, so I don't know if you've had the time/inclination to work on it lately.

Ooh, thank you for asking!  I’ve felt guilty for not producing anything in so long.  I have been busy, but I’ve also been obsessively cross-stitching lately, lol. 

I do have a chapter in progress for Elemental, but I’ve stalled out.  I’ve had several writing ideas rolling around in my head lately, so I think that I have another writing storm coming on, lol.  Stay tuned for updates to Elemental, as well as other fics.  :)

There’s no point of anon if I know who you are ;3

Yes, of course.

Not on the outside, but on the inside it’ll hurt a little bit.

25. Do you think you can last in a relationship for 6 months and not cheat?

I’m theoretically dating this person for a reason. Why would I ruin something I worked so hard to find?

Nope. Not that I remember.

45. Do you have any pictures on your Facebook?

Yes. No, I will not share my Facebook here ;v; sorry everyone.

In Yu-Gi-Oh? I identify with Yami Yugi the most. ^^

[circetorilavalos]

Halp. My cousin texted me with this message: "😖 ok Duke Devlin" and Idk how to react.

so either you really like dice or your father’s threatening you with his ugly face if you don’t do his dirty work for him and get rid of Yugi and his game shop.

36:Where I would like to live

Great question! I don’t know actually ^^; I was thinking of some nice big city like New York for a while but maybe somewhere nice and close to the city instead like the suburbs?

I would love to visit Paris but I don’t know about actually living there. ^^;

*floats into your ask* Did somebody say prideshipping fanfic?!!!

Oh no, you caught me~ ;3 Yes, that is currently underway. ^^ 

I have the script all typed up; all I have to do is convert it into actual prose. :D If I get a spare moment, I’m sure I can have it done and posted shortly afterwards.

#setofreakinkaiba #askcirce #if you want I can privately send you what I have so far ^^

30-39 hehe

;3 I know who you are anon~ You better watch your back missy. Jk.

30. My favourite animal(s).

Man, I can’t pick… in terms of domestic animals I love dogs and cats, and in terms of wild animals I love dolphins and pandas.

31. My pets.

Currently? None. Unless my Stitch Pillow Pet counts~ ^^

32. One thing I’ve lied about.

I’ve answered this ask already but another lie, why not~

I lied to my parents when I said that I didn’t skip any lectures last semester but that was only because I was sick and unable to get out of bed okay

33. Something that’s currently worrying me.

My grades. School. Exams. My grades. ;-;

34. An embarrassing moment.

Okay, so this one time in fifth grade we had a pizza party in my class and they had extra leftover pizza after everyone got a slice so they decided to serve seconds. I took a second pizza and ate it while everyone was laughing and talking about stuff. After I ate my second slice, I drank some soda and felt kinda bloated and uncomfortable. All of a sudden I just burped like super loud and the whole class went dead silent. I was so embarrassed I started laughing nervously. 

I find it hilarious now though.

35. Where I work.

Oops I’m an unemployed and broke student in university

36. Something that’s constantly on my mind.

Yu-Gi-Oh!

Random things. (like music or random facts)

My grades. 

37. 3 Habits I have.

- Biting my nails when I’m nervous.

- Brushing my hair away from my face the bangs are too long but I’m too lazy to go get it cut -v-

- Fidgeting occasionally when I sit.

38. My future goals.

I want to be a veterinarian. So my current goal is to major in biology, then get into a good grad school.

39. Something I fantasise about.

Like in what way? I don’t really understand this question.

I think about achieving that 4.0 GPA. Does that count? :3

22. 32.

22. Someone I miss.

The first person that pops up in my head is my little brother. I miss not being able to pal around with him after school and just hanging out with him in general. We’re pretty close despite our age gap ^^ I guess that’s one of the inconvenient things about studying abroad. I don’t regret studying in Canada though :) It’s actually pretty cool to traverse the US-Canada border every once in a while. 

32. One thing I’ve lied about.

Tbh, last semester’s grades haha. I don’t want my parents to know how badly I did on this one specific class of mine so I just avoided their question and said that I scored really well on my final exam and left it at that. I mean, I still passed but ;-; 

#seto-kaibae #askcirce #I don't feel like studying for my exam right now so send me asks please ^^

[circetorilavalos]

Dear *anyone*... huehue

Dear grandfather in the afterlife,

I hope you’re doing well. I miss you. 

Did you like that portrait I drew of you? I tried my best to do your smiling face justice. 

I want you to know that I’m doing okay here on the earth plane. I graduated high school with good grades and managed to get into a top-notch university. If only you were here to see me graduate. I wanted you to see it so badly.

Did I make you proud, Grampa? I hope I made you proud. 

School’s been… pretty rough on me, to be honest. It’s definitely different from high school for sure. Some days I just lose motivation to do anything. I’m trying though. To fight this sense of numbness in my body. The inability to feel or care. …

Can I be honest with you, Grampa? 

I feel like something’s changed after you passed.

Your youngest son… I pray for him to quit his addiction to gambling, cigarettes and alcohol. It’s slowly ruining his life, both in his personal life and in his relations with his siblings. Now, I know he’s trying hard to fix it, I do. But he needs to slow down with his unhealthy habits. I’m seriously concerned.

Your youngest daughter, my mom… she’s doing okay. Talks to Gramma less than before though. I think you were her favorite parent. I remember seeing her burst out in tears when she answered that call on that fateful night. I remember my absolute shock when I heard the news. I mean, I knew you were sick for a while, but I mean… it all happened so fast.

(Maybe I’m being selfish, but your passing was so close to my 15th birthday that there was not much of a point in celebrating it that year. Or the year after that. I guess now that I think about it, I haven’t had a party ever since that year.)

Anyway, back to that night… after the initial shock wore off, I burst out in tears too. I didn’t even get to say goodbye. You just left so suddenly. Left and opened such a large hole in our family. 

I ran to my room because I didn’t want to cry in front of my brother. Funny thing is that my daddy came to my room shortly after and yelled at me for grieving your loss. He threatened to hit me if I didn’t stop right now and go comfort mom. I was scared of daddy but I couldn’t stop crying. …

I wonder if you saw that too? Who did you side with in that moment?

My daddy didn’t cry when you passed. I haven’t seen him cry since his mom passed all those years ago. Back then I was too young to get over the shock. Her fragile body lying in that sealed glass case, with makeup so thick it was practically caked on and a dress I had never seen before. The image comes back to haunt me sometimes. I’ll never forget it. My parents hunched over crying their eyes out on her Snow White-esque glass case while I just stared at them with a blank expression. I couldn’t cry. I couldn’t believe it was real. I cry now though. Why couldn’t I cry? What’s wrong with me?

I wonder if you see everything that happens to the people you care about on the earth plane from your plane?

I’d like to think that there is such a thing as the afterlife. It makes me feel a tiny bit better to imagine that you are well and free of pain there. Living in comfort and happiness.

… Maybe it would be better if you can’t see us. I don’t know how you would feel seeing Uncle at his low point later that year. At least he’s recovering now. Got a nice job as a cargo truck driver. It’s better than nothing.

I have no idea where I’m going with this. It’s good to be able to talk to you though Grampa. Makes me feel almost like you’re here with me, like everything I’m so worried about is going to be okay. A real warm and happy feeling spreading through my cold and hurting heart. It’s been a while since I last felt that. 

I guess what I really want to say is that I miss you Grampa. I miss you and I’m sorry I couldn’t be there when you passed. You were so far and we didn’t have the money to pay you a proper visit. I would have cried at your funeral. (I would have kept crying that night if not for my daddy. Sometimes he’s quite the unreasonable man. I hope I never marry a man like that, to be honest. I love daddy and all, but he scares me so much sometimes.)

You know what I regret the most? Not being able to say what I really feel. It feels like a stigma in our family to say we love someone. Maybe because they think it’s implied already through their well-intentioned actions and words…? I’m not that sort of person though. I wanted to say I love you so many times. I was always scared to though. Now I regret it. 

If you see nothing else, I want you to know that I love you, Grampa.

I love you so much.

Thank you for giving me piggy back rides when i was little even though you had chronic back pain and asthma.

Thank you for giving me sweets every time I visit you and Gramma.

Thank you for lighting the room up with your smile and entertaining everyone with your stories.

Thank you for fighting your disease until the end.

I’m sorry that cigarettes took away your breath and your life. I only hope that my uncles learn from your example soon. 

Thank you for everything. You know, I actually feel a bit better now. I think I’ll be okay. Give my best to Gram and Pop for me. 

With love,

Your granddaughter
