✿Chapter Eleven✿
Nathaniel's P.O.V:
Is this really reality? Me with my arms around a heroine of Paris? Am I even sure this isn't some dream and when I wake up I'm still in my classroom? I turn to Spade Cobra still hopping from rooftop to rooftop. His bright emerald eyes staring straight forwards, though... why do they feel so familiar to me so suddenly? No, stop asking questions to yourself Nathaniel Kurtzberg.
"S-So... d-do you know where I even live?"
Wow, I need a gold medal for sounding so uncomfortable in front of a superhero I adored aside with Ladybug and Chat Noir. Spade Cobra immediately screeches in his running as he stands me down onto a window frame. I look over my shoulders to see my own bedroom. Still a mess with my art and materials everywhere, but I'm just feeling far too lazy to clean it up.
"Does that solve your question?" Spade Cobra asks me as he playfully chuckles to me, placing his hands on his hips.
I turn back to Spade as I still feel the same blush for this whole ride stick on my cheeks. I swear that Spade Cobra sounds so familiar. Though, that's most likely just me still delusional from my akumatization. I listen to a soft bleeping coming from Spade Cobra's bracelet as he lifts it towards his face, the minty green color on it slowly fading away as he takes a final look at me.
"Sorry, gotta get going." Spade Cobra informs me as something makes me grab onto his hand, right as he is about to leap away from me. Spade Cobra himself looking back towards me with a blush on his cheeks.
"W-Who are you really?" I ask him, his Miraculous still bleeping and signalling that time is running out.
"... No one can know a superhero's true identity, for it's dangerous for us as a living person and the people we love and care for." Spade Cobra informs me as he takes his wrist back from me gently, finally leaping away with some soft self mumbling to himself.
His minty green figure swiftly leaves my eyesight as I pull myself back into my bedroom. Though, I still haven't asked Lila out to the seasonal dance. But, am I ever even wanting to ask her out at this point? I already know that this is really Marc I wanna ask out to the dance... Maybe I can text him now if we can talk alone. I lick my own lips out of them being a bit chapped, as the soft taste of some strawberry chap-stick is already on my lips. Wait, since when do I ever wear strawberry chap-stick?
Marc's P.O.V:
'Come on come on!'
I spot my bedroom window wide open still as the drapes blow inwards through my window. I take a last leap of faith as I just land into my bedroom, only to hit face first into the floor. My Miraculous bleeps out the last it's color as I change out of Spade Cobra, Spades flying out of my Miraculous. His small stomach making a growling noise.
Great, nothing to start my night off of saving Paris for a second time in a row then a numb face. I shift back up to my knees as I sit on my legs for a minute, messaging out my face. Spades flies over to me as his stomach still growls at me.
"O-Okay Spades... I-I'll go get your Cheddar cheese." I assure my Kwami as I stand back up to my two legs as I walk out of my bedroom, closing the door behind me in case my mom somehow sees Spades while passing by.
My feet take my all the way to my kitchen as I go to the fridge. I open up the door to it as I look around for the Cheddar cheese. I reach into the fridge for it as I pull it out, placing it onto the island counter top. I go towards the drawers full of knifes as I take out a small cheese knife. I take it as I easily cut into the orange like colored dairy product. I place the few slices I made onto a small plate as I quickly clean everything up. With Spades plate of cheese in hand, he should be alright for the next time I ever need to transform.
I scurry off to my bedroom, again. As I push open the door, there is nothing inside my room. Spades is probably just trying to hide himself just in case it's someone else instead of me. I close the door behind me as I still hold my Kwami's Cheddar cheese.
"H-Hey Spades? It's me Marc, I have your Cheddar!" I inform my Kwami as he comes out of hiding from behind my desk, eagerly rushing towards me as he literally plants his face down first into the slices of cheese I have for him. I chuckle under my breath as I set the plate aside. Pulling up my chair as I sit back down with my notebook in front of me, I flip to the next few pages as I start to write down some more ideas for the comic book finale for Nathaniel and I! Actually... now that I think about this, it's obviously a little while since Nathaniel and I touch the subject. Maybe, it's just because of the fact of the seasonal school dance and the fact I'm secretly working to save all of Paris as Spade Cobra with Ladybug and Chat Noir...
"Hey... you feeling alright there?" Spades asks me, in the middle of chewing a new slice of Cheddar cheese off his little plate. I turn to my Kwami as I nod to him with a small smile.
"Y-Yeah, just... a lot has been in my mind and going on in general." I explain to my minty green snake Kwami.
Spades takes a pause in his cheese eating fest, as he swallows the bite in his mouth and flies over to me. A bit more of a sympathetic look in his yellow snake like eyes.
"Superhero work can be tough, but... there's no one really you can talk to unless that someone is me... so, try to lighten up a little! You'll be better real soon." Spades informs me, giving in his best shot to make me feel better.
I sigh for a moment as I end up slamming my head into my own black notebook. Crossing my arms around the top of my head as release of a stressing moan escapes my mouth. Spades comes over to me, sitting on the top of my head as he lays down and makes small snow angels in my black hair.
"Shh.... just let it all out there..."
Nathaniel's P.O.V:
I blankly look at the plain and blank page in front of me. I really need to get myself back on schedule and track of the comic. Marc isn't even able to work that much on our dialogue work for some reason. Is there something wrong I'm even doing to him? Is he feeling uncomfortable around me now? Is it because I'm here assuring him that I'm still asking Lila to the seasonal school dance?
'Look what you just got yourself thinking about Kurtzberg...'
I take the pencil in my hand as I stuff the eraser end into my mouth, still thinking deeply I instinctively bite off the eraser, chew on it and swallow it. Come on... just start drawing something so tonight doesn't feel anymore confusing or questionable.
My hand starts to glide onto the paper page of my sketchbook, I roughly sketch out a base as I begin to draw out Spade Cobra... wait, good going me for now just forgetting what he looks like. But, hopefully for all I know Alya posted a picture of him on her LadyBlog. I unlock my phone with my other free hand as I stare at the home screen for a moment, a picture of Marc and I together. Wow, it already feels like forever since we last took this one photo together. My finger taps onto the search app as I go onto Alya's Blog immediately. Some Spade Cobra pictures already posted up as I scroll through them all.
'This one should do.'
I tap onto it with my index finger as I am taken right to a full screen picture of Spade Cobra. I place my phone to the side as I start to draw off the picture of him from the digital photograph. My hand continues to draw out all his features as I pause for a moment just as I finish most of his upper body and the face...
'... Wait...'
I tap out of the picture and the LadyBlog whole as I turn off my phone instantly. I turn it back on as I snap my eyes from my drawing and then my home screen picture of Marc. I take my phone back into my hands as I click the sides of my phone to make a screen shot. I go into my Photoshop app as I grab out my digital drawing pen. The end of my pen taps onto the small color wheel on the side as I drag that over and make a rough, minty green mask over Marc's face...
My heart...
I can't feel anything...
I feel like I can't breathe...
I drop the digital drawing pen from my hand as I cover my mouth. No... this can't possible be real. Marc... Is Spade Cobra?!

(Hiya everyone! Janis_The_Bunny here presenting to you another new chapter! Hopefully you all enjoyed this and loved this little sneaky plot twist! Nathaniel now knows for sure that Marc is Spade Cobra! However, still isn't so sure that his theory can all be correct just with what he has. What can YOU predict Nathaniel will do to see if his own best friend, comic partner, and crush all mixed as one living being actually is a super heroine of Paris? I would love to know!
Oh and one more thing! This book has over one thousand views already like what the living hell?! How is this possible how is my own writing this good to y'all?! But you know what?
