Silly, Silly Marinette
Day 2: Make a Oneshot for the multi-chaptered fic you've been putting off
For š„One Shot Speed Runš„ by @official-timari-server !!!
Context: Marinette ends up making a wish to go back in time but ends up in the wrong timeline. Thereās a male Lila, everyone loves being in Marinetteās personal space, and only Chloe seems to be really normal. Even Alya is a bit differentā being a lot more touchy than normal. This is one shot where Marinette is going to a movie (date) with Lila and Alya, after only a couple days in this universe. Everything will be revealed on why Marinette feels so off in a connecting one shot Iām writing!
A day unlike any otherā where each step weighed down on Marinette as if the ground beneath her were made of bones. The air whipped all around her, knocking over signs and spreading trash all amongst the ground. Her breath was shaky, unsteady in such fierce, cold winds. All she had to protect herself was a raggedy hoodie she stole from one of her classmates. Or well, a raggedy, warm hoodie that this timelineās version of her had stolen.
Everything inside her told her to turn back, to go home and cuddle with her kwamis. And yet, her feet continued on its path, as if she had no other choice. And she didnāt. She couldnāt bring herself to change the plans that this timelineās her had made, not when she had basically stolen her life. Plus, or the real reason she didnāt cancel was because she needed to observe this world. What all was different and what all was the same? She needed to know everything before she put her plan in place.
āMars!ā A low, melodic voice interrupted her thoughts. She didn't need to look beside her to know who it was, but she still did because thatās what this version of her would have done. Lilaā or Leonardo in this world, jogged closer, interlocking their fingers with ease. āIām glad I caught up to you, for a moment I thought Iād be lost forever. Paris is just so large compared to the villages I would visit ināā
She zoned out, half listening and half thinking about what in the heavens she had done to deserve such a terrible fate. As if it was fateā the man had likely been stalking her the moment she left her house and thought this was the perfect moment to conveniently ābumpā into her. Outrageous.
āMars? Are you okay?ā Leo leaned in close, with those large soft eyes of his crinkled in concern. He stopped walking, moving in front of her while still keeping their hands linked. His free hand came to rest on her cheek, before he tried to press his forehead to hers.
āFine!ā She yelped, trying to back up and failing to get far as his grip on her hand was strong. āJust a bit.. dizzy. Planning an event for my mamanās book group and itās a bit stressful. But Iām just fine, Li- Leo. Just fine.ā
He pouted, not fully believing her before beaming at her. āIf thatās what you say! Come on, Alya must be wandering where we are. And as much as I love spending time alone with you, she has a good right hook that I donāt want meeting my face today.ā
Marinette forced out a giggle, internally rolling her eyes as he led her to her best friend's apartment. Didnāt he just say he was lost? Tsk.
Leo rubbed his thumb on the back of her hand, humming as they strolled through the streets of Paris with surprising ease. Marinette found that she didnāt want to think at the moment, after spending all day and night before doing nothing but that. She let him lead the way as she emptied her thoughts.
Suddenly, she felt an arm around her waist, before she was tugged back. It took everything in her not to attack said person. A car whizzed by, going straight through the spot she was before. How out of it was she? She tensed.
āMy love, surely you donāt need me rescuing you so often? Truly, Iāve never seen someone as pretty and clumsy as you.ā Leo still held her close, snuggling into her shoulder as if he belonged there. He took a deep breath into her hair before letting her go, claiming it was some Italian custom. Obvious lie.
āSorry, I might be a bit more out of it than I thought.ā Marinette laughed it off, before looking across the street to see a woman in plaid appearing from behind a couple bushes. She pretended not to see Alya obviously tucking a disposable camera into her pocket as she waved them over.
The street cleared after a few moments, letting the pair walk over to the brunette.
āGirl!ā Alya grinned, tugging her out of Leoās grasp and into hers. For a moment, everything felt safe. She was in her best friend's arms and she totally hadnāt been wished into another timeline. It was easy to believe that this woman was her Alya. āItās been so long, come on in!ā
Alya hooked their arms together, walking her up to an apartment building with Leo only steps behind them. After an annoying amount of steps bc apparently the elevator was broken, they reached the heavenly seats haven that is Alyaās home.
For once, not a soul was home but the three of themā which felt weirdly deliberate and had Marinette on her toes. This was weird.
āMomma took everyone to my auntieās house for a week-long trip, so itās just us today! Feel free to make yourself comfortable.ā Alya wrote it all off with a simple comment when Marinette subtly asked about it. Stillā¦ something was off. Fuck, maybe she was just coming down with a cold? Because of all the stress?
Alya gathered them a couple snacks and spare blankets and pillows before they found themselves watching some rom com in her room. They were a bit scrunched up on the bed, but they made do. Leo sat near the headboard while the duo leaned against the wall.
Leo and Alya laughed, gossiping like teenage girls at the movie while Marinette just sipped a can of coke, leaning into her best friend. She was so tired, and it was only mid afternoon.
She blamed Alya for being so warm and comfortable, she just made her so sleepy.
Ended up being a little under 1k, but Iām really happy with it bc Iām too sick not to be. Hope you all like it! The actual series for this will be Alyanette and Lilanette, but no Alya/Lila bc they are too obsessed with Marinette to care for anyone else. Will be toxic. Will be fun. I am so tired.
