Sometimes It Works Itself Out
By: the-coffee-fandom
Art here
Marinette really could not take any more bullshit. Honestly. She might punch the next person that comes by if they try and say something dumb to her.
Here she was on what was supposed to be the happiest day of her life. Well, the anniversary of such anyway. The anniversary of what she was told was the best day of her life. But even though she was told as such, it never felt that way to her.
Your wedding day is supposed to be filled with a million flowers, a cake too big for all your guests to eat, surrounded by everyone you love and cherish, and with the person you plan to spend the rest of your life with. Your chest is bursting with joy and the smile can’t be contained nor wiped off your face, the birds feel like they are singing love songs far into the night. Everything is perfect. That’s how she always thought it was.
That’s what she thought she had with Adrien. She didn’t realize that her vows were hollow in his heart and his eyes were always on another.
Even if that other was technically still her.
Ladybug felt like a different entity to Marinette. She was strong, confident, and powerful. Marinette had a semblance of that still within her day to day life, but not to the degree that Adrien Agreste had fallen for. He was in love with a hero, not with a human.
Maybe that’s why she wasn’t upset when she found out about his crush on another. She watched as his eyes drifted over to him whenever they hung out together. She saw the hearts in his eyes, felt the quickening of his heartbeat, and heard the stutter of his breath. It was so clear that he had moved on now that he had grown up and realized his fantasy of marrying the mask of what she used to be wasn’t the life he was meant for.
She was in a light pink dress, cherry blossoms decorated the ends of it. If she twirled her dress would flare out and circle her. She liked her dresses like that. She knew her maskera had begun running down her cheeks, black streaks decorating her face like rain drops on a window. She felt it deep in her soul that this was definitely the right thing to do. Not just for her partner, but for her as well. Moving on is hard but it's right.
So she finished the last of the papers making it official, and walked out of the room now a single woman again.
She paid no mind to the blonde that tried calling after her. She didn’t need to hear a thousand more apologies, empty words falling past his lips trying to fix the pieces of a relationship that was never meant to be. Her heart hurt and she didn’t need him to see her break down.
She threw open the doors and stepped into the cool breeze of the outdoors. It was almost a slap in the face how bright and beautiful everything was. It was a painful reminder of her own wedding day. So filled with warmth and love and laughter. Everything and everyone but her.
She lifted her eyes from the concrete and they met with azure blue eyes that were filled with a sympathy and understanding beyond what she thought she deserved.
“Hey.”
Marinette let one side of her lips perk up into a half sort of smile.
“Hey,” she responded back softly.
“I thought you could use a ride?” She used her head to nod sideways towards the purple mini behind her.
“My knight and shining armor.”
The blonde smiled and chuckled, “I am dashing enough to be one.”
“You keep telling yourself that,” Marinette shoved her shoulder, her smile becoming genuine.
“I will,” the other girls voice followed as she walked around the back of the car to get to the passenger side.
She stopped short when she saw what her friend had done.
“Really, Steph?”
The amused tone of her voice showed that she wasn’t actually upset.
“Yeah, I thought we could head out to celebrate being single.”
“Because that’s something to celebrate now is it?”
Stephanie punched her lightly in the arm, “duh! Single people have the most fun. Everyone knows that!”
“Sure,” Marinette rolled her eyes with a giggle as she moved to climb into the car.
Steph joined her, taking her space in the driver's seat and looking over at her. Her eyes sparkled in the midday sun and her hair blew lightly in the calm breeze. She looked like an angel.
“Is that for me?” Marinette joked, pointing at the coffee sitting in the cup holders.
“It is!” She beamed brightly.
Marinette’s heart, for the first time, today felt lighter.
“Is this really all for me?”
Steph looked at her, her eyes softening and her shoulders relaxing, “of course. If you ever need me, I’ll be right here for you.”
Marinette nodded, blinking back more tears.
“Where to?”
Marinette tilted her head slightly in thought.
“Nowhere,” she decided on.
“Nowhere it is!” Her friend called out excitedly.
The music was cranked up to full blast as the windows were brought down so they were completely open. The blonde driving sped up to ten above the speed limit and they were off to who knows where.
And for once, Marinette decided she was fine with the unknown. Maybe things don’t work out the way she had planned but she was here and she will live in the moment.
Her eyes trailed back to the girl beside her, singing at the top of her lungs to a song that wasn’t even that good while her hair blew widely in the wind. Her music tastes were adequate at best. But she was goofy and fun and beautiful and…
And maybe, this wouldn’t be so bad after all.
She was with the person she wanted to spend her life with now. And that’s enough.
