Nathaniel's P.O.V: 

'Chirp Chirp Chirp' 

'Bleep Bleep Bleep'

'Can't mornings be quiet for once for a change?' 

I lift my head up from my pillow as my red hair looks like a tornado ran through it before leaving everything to destroy the next neighboring city. Rubbing my eyes with my hands as a yawn releases. Another day of life. Shifting a bit out of my bed and the tips of my toes hitting the cool wood flooring of my bedroom. How pleasant. Looking over to the time of my alarm clock. Seeing it just waking me up at my usual time. Just to spare me the time of not being late when I walk to school. Which, is a pain, did I already say that about a hundred times?  

 Hurrying off to my closet to grab my clothes and also some new underwear. Then taking a turn out of my bedroom towards the bathroom. My mom cooking breakfast, as, usual most likely my dad is off to get an early start to work and avoid as much traffic as possible. But throwing those thoughts aside. I go into the bathroom and then take a nice warm shower, washing my hair in the running water as a stupid habit. Begin to hum a bit in the shower as the shampoo I apply into my clump of redness being rubbed again and again form bubbles in an instant.

"NATHANIEL! HONEY! ONCE YOUR DONE IN THEIR I NEED TO TALK TO YOU!" 

"GOT IT MOM! I'LL BE OUT IN A FEW MINUTES!" I call back to my mom as then I finish myself off with some conditioner and body shampoo, washing that off shortly too with the water pouring all over me. Turning off the shower before a small gust of cool air hits me as I step out carefully and then dry myself off. Wrapping my hair in my towel as I slowly struggle a bit in dressing myself up as about a quarter of my body is still wet from my shower. 

After JUST managing my socks on, I exit the bathroom as I have my towel spread on my shoulders to prevent the back of my orange shirt to look like I came back from a swim meet. Walking to the kitchen as I spot my plate of scrambled eggs and buttered toast sitting, just waiting for me. Seating myself at the dining table. My mom turned to me with her finger tips more nervously like fiddle her own red hair. As her glasses rest in place, occasionally slipping a tad out of place. 

"N-Nathaniel, sweetie... you know how much I love you and how much I care on your happiness. But..." 

"But?" I asked confused as I stuff some scrambled eggs into my mouth. 

"I... can't be able to send you to the seasonal dance with your boyfriend." My mom explains as I feel like I'm choking on something. But of course, it's nothing. Staring to my mom as I sadly place my palm over my face. 

"P-Please don't tell me..." 

"I'm sorry Nathaniel honey, it's either you can't go at all or it's your dad that's gonna have to send you and your boyfriend." My mom explained more sadly as a more deepened feeling stabs me in the heart. A direct hit. 

What am I going to do?! He would be completely proud and fine if I asked a girl to the seasonal dance. Notice, GIRL.  If he finds out that I'm in a relationship with Marc. I'll be forced to break up with him and boom. Everything I hoped for gone. Of course, Mother is just fine with me being with Marc. She completely is happy for the both of us. 

Dad... he's just a completely different story, and definitely more difficult on things like this.

 Damn, this just became a mess. I just slowly keep eating my breakfast as my mom then slowly proceeds to clean up the cooking area. Slightly poking my fork into my food. I can't risk my dad to know any of this. 

"Listen, Nathaniel honey... why, don't you try to lay low on this once that dance of yours comes up? Like, try to act like friends? Know I can help you through this..." 

"Y-Yeah, thanks mom..." I say more faintly as if my throat suddenly became dry. Poking at my scrambled eggs as my mom stays silent again and then runs water in the sink to begin washing the dishes. 

Marc's P.O.V: 

"Come on Marc! I'm sure it'll be alright!" 

"A-Are you... sure M-Marinette?" 

I question the bluenette girl in front of me as she hands me some macaroons I just bought. Marinette always works a bit before hours of school just to help her family out. So why not buy some macaroons today? It'd be nice anyways if I can treat myself ever since... THAT from yesterday. Sneaking out a single one into my pocket where Spades my kwami is currently resting up inside. 

"Yes! I'm sure it'll be fine if you go to the dance with Nathaniel! You won't be a nervous wreck trust me... even if this is your first public event your going to. It'll be fine! No one's gonna judge you." 

I nod slowly with a small sigh, then replying to her. 

"B-But.... what if I end up tripping on the dancefloor or something?! O-Or spill something on Nathaniel's outfit?! Oh... it'll be so embarrassing." 

"Now now, what are the chances of any of that ever happening?" 

"... fifty fifty?" 

Marinette laughed a bit amused by my response as I simply stare down to the white tiling of the floor. Quickly she then shuts off her laughing as I move a foot to the tiling and making a small squeak from it. 

"Sorry... anyways, I need to get ready for school too! But don't try to think of the negatives on going to this school dance! Think positively! Besides, it'll be a perfect first event for you and Nathaniel to go to as a couple! am I right?" 

I open my mouth a bit to try and as a pessimistic person try to reason why that may not be the case. But already I watch Marinette run off upstairs to get herself ready for school as well. Defeated I shut my mouth so I don't catch any flies. 

'Geez, Marinette makes it seem so effortless.... Bet that's how it was when she asked Adrien out to the dance herself...'     

Keeping the small box of French macaroons in hand. I turn around and leave the bakery. Opening the door the small but swift chime of the bell goes off. Stepping out from the front I then move onward to my school. Maybe, MAYBE, Nathaniel and I could actually begin to make final edits for our season finale comic. Chances are though, everyone's still caught up in this seasonal dance stuff. Besides, even if it was done after this long hiatus. I'm sure the kids in our class probably are going to have it fly over their heads since, there's just none stop talk about it. 

But, hey... at least I can still go with Nathaniel. It'll be like a fairytale dream come true. 

... 

Curse me and my 'fantasy' like writing. 

I slip out a macaroon from the box as I begin to eat it and at the same time walking. Spotting the school right in front of me as I cross the street safely to make it officially on school campus. To be fair. I'm always so confused on how Marinette can be late to class when she literally lives right behind the school. Drifting off into a new dimension of thoughts... 

Why is it I'm feeling all the time I'm about to see something bad coming up? Or is that just myself playing tricks on me? Looking around as I keep slowly eating one by one the macaroons in my hand. Spades popping his head out for a second to face me as he finished some chewing of the macaroon I left him. 

"Thanks for the macaroon!" Spades informs to me as I give my kwami a small smile. 

"Y-Yes of course." 

Continuing to walk afterwards. I go up the stairs of the front of the school. Then to the second flight of stairs towards my classroom. Spotting about half of my classmates inside already. But of of course rare count of familiar faces I know. Guess I'm so used to the class Marinette is in that this class I'm in nearly everyday became scarce in mind. Walking myself to my seat. I sit down and then take out my writing notebook as I slightly loosen the choker around my neck. 

'Wonder how's Nathaniel doing...'
