Summary
With the zip of her yo-yo, Ladybug was gone.
Adrien was alone. His stomach dropped like an avalanche, and his whole body crumpled like tissue paper. The cry that tore past his lips didn’t sound human. He didn’t have words for the maelstrom of grief that overtook him.
Solid arms wrapped around him and pulled Adrien into an armored chest.
“Wayzz, shell off.”
“N-Nino?” Adrien sobbed, melting into his friend’s comforting presence.
“Hey, Kit-Kat.”
Adrien shoved himself back into Nino's arms and just cried.
“She left, Nino. She left. I knew that she would, but I hoped… I hoped I would be… enough.”
“I know, man. I know. I’m here. Her decision had nothing to do with you. You’re more than enough. I’m not going anywhere.”
“Promise?”
“Promise.”
“You’re going to be the Guardian. That might be a promise you can’t keep.”
“Adrien, look at me.”
Adrien had always seen the depths of the ocean in Ladybug’s eyes. But Nino’s golden gaze held the warmth of the sun.
“I’m not going anywhere. Not ever.”
…
Maybe the person you need is not the one you’ve had your eye on, but the one who’s been right behind you supporting you the whole time.
