Marinette sighed as she pulled out her phone and checked the ladyblog once more.

Marinette Dupain-Cheng is ladybug!

She turned off her phone and rolled to the side, ignoring all the messages and calls she was getting. A loud thud soon came from her balcony.

Blue met green.

She huffed and looked the other way, "go away Chat Noir" she said slightly agitated. Tears forming in the corners of her eyes. She looked back up a few minutes after and saw that he was gone. She soon sat up and hugged her knees close to her chest, she was scared.

Scared that people might hurt her.

Hurt her family.

Her her friends.

Use her.

Not love her for herself but for her fame.

She looked outside and saw press bombarding her parents with questions. Ones they could not answer. Her brother soon walked upstairs and opened up her trap door.

"Hey..."

"Hey." She said back. He sighed and walked in. Making his way towards her bed, he sat at the end of her bed. Slowly, he grabbed her hand and placed it in his.

"Loving can hurt~  loving can hurt sometimes, but it's the only thing that I know~"

His voice was soft and instantly she remembered the song. It was called photograph. He would always sing it when they were younger.

She looked up, her eyes wide and her face stained with tears.

"Don't cry Mari" He whispered as he wiped away the tears with his thumb, she smiled softly.

"Listen Mari, I'm sorry. I was scared and I know that what I did was wrong. But do you think I would of left you if I knew you weren't capable of defeating him?" She sighed and placed her head in his lap. He chuckled softly and stroked her head.

"Im sorry Marinette..."

"Im sorry Marin..."

Marinette soon wrapped her arms around his waist and cried softly into his chest, "I was so rude to you, I'm so sorry" He laughed and held her tighter.

"Now let's go face the press together shall we" He held out a hand after standing up, she happily took it as a wave if confidence washed over her.

"We shall...

Brother..."
