As you watch the two pairs of lips come together, you feel like you've just been sucker punched in the stomach.

Unable to really do anything, your body's autopilot takes over, and your legs run to the door.

You flee out into the night, and realize that your cheeks have become wet.

Reaching up, you feel a fresh tear make it's way down.

After you've gotten at least halfway home, a cold gust of air blows by, making you remember the jacket you'd left.

"No way I'm going back." You mutter to yourself and press on.

The cold wind almost seems to freeze your tears, but you just wrap your arms around yourself and keep going.

You finally see your house, and jog the last stretch.

Opening the door, you're relived to feel the warm air greet you.

"Back already?" Your mom asks, poking her head around the corner.

"Uh, yeah. I just couldn't stay."

"Why not?"

"Not enough food." You attempt to joke, though you're really not in the mood for it.

She laughs, before asking where Adrien is.

"I thought he would walk you home, since it's dark."

"He already left." You fib.

Already left my feelings in the dirt.

Your mother accepts this answer, and goes back to whatever she was doing. You go up to your room, and flop onto the bed.

"People say, we shouldn't be together, we're too young to know about forever-" Your phone starts singing, announcing a call from "AdriKitty💚🖤".

You decline the call, muttering, "Maybe those people were right."

Another call comes in, and some texts, which you ignore all of.

Before long, your family tells you goodnight and goes to bed, so you get ready.

While dressing after your shower, you hear the usual knock at your balcony.

Adrien's POV

After arriving at Alya's house and seeing Lila there, I'd stayed around the door for a while, wanting to alert y/n when she got there.

When she comes in after our phone conversation, I tell her and Marinette, who'd entered with y/n.

They both show clear distaste, before Marinette goes off somewhere, and y/n and I stand together against a wall, watching everybody else.

We dance around with a few upbeat songs, but hang back during any slow ones.

I can tell just from her eyes that she wants to dance as badly as I do.

But that would probably end up disastrous.

So, we just stand together until Alya announces a game.

Everyone shuffles around, and somehow I get situated next to Kim, and y/n is close to the kitchen.

Before Alya even tells us what game we're playing, y/n slips away and goes to the snacks.

I try to conceal a laugh, and listen to Alya saying the game is Truth Or Dare, and then asking who wants to go first.

"I do! Lila, truth or dare?" Kim asks.

"Dare!"

Yeah, because you can never do anything truthful. I think, rolling my eyes.

"I dare you to kiss the cutest guy in the room!"

Gross!

I immediately look away, not wanting to witness some poor guy roped in by Lila.

Looking back to y/n, I see she's grabbing cookies.

As she's turning around, I simultaneously feel a poke, coming from my shirt pocket, and something on my face.

I look to my face, only to find Lila kissing me.

I quickly pull away from her, but it's too late.

Y/n has disappeared.

"What the heck?! Ever heard of consent?!" I almost scream, but keep my voice down.

"It was a dare! And you clearly should've seen me coming!" Lila protests.

"I wasn't paying attention, and an ask would've been welcome!"

"Calm down, bro. It's just a game." Kim says, looking kind of irritated.

I guess he was expecting her to kiss him.

Why he'd want that, I have no idea.

"Game or not, you shouldn't just suddenly kiss people!" I really want to shout at them, but I don't.

Everyone looks pretty surprised at my outburst, and Alya quickly takes the attention away by saying she will go next.

I slip away and start looking around for y/n.

Her jacket is still here, so I assume she hasn't left.

I feel kinda bad for looking all through Alya's house, but this is too important to stop for manners.

After I've checked everywhere, I see Marinette in the kitchen.

She's the only one who has drifted from the group, who are still playing, so I go up to her.

"Hey. You really put Lila in her place." She says.

"Uh, yeah. I assume you can figure out why pretty easily."

"Oh yeah. You didn't want y/n to see."

"Whaat? Why would that be an important reason?" I ask, nervousness probably clear on my face.

"Because Lila was really mean to y/n."

"Oh, right."

"Plus you two are dating."

"What?! No no, I already told you, I have a girlfriend, and y/n is with Cat Noir!"

"Funny how you never mentioned who exactly your girlfriend is."

"She's a very private person." I attempt at an excuse.

"Or your secret identity as Cat Noir is very private."

"And why would you think that I am Cat Noir?!"

"Because I read y/n's notebook. I was just trying to find out who it belonged to, and found a paper with clues to your identity. That's really dangerous, by the way. I mean, what if someone besides me had found it?!" Marinette explains.

This night is not going very well.

"A-are you sure it was about me?!"

"I'm positive."

"You're not gonna tell anybody, right?" Surely she won't, considering she's probably Ladybug.

"No. But you're lucky. Because what if I did tell people?"

"Then I would get in big trouble."

"Exactly. That is why you shouldn't reveal your identity!"

"I know, I know. Ladybug." I guess I might as well confess to knowing her secret identity.

"Whaaat?!" Now it's her turn to act clueless.

"Yeah, I know. I've known since our project."

"How?!"

"Because you basically told y/n."

"But you're famous! Lots of people have a crush on you!"

"Yeah, but I also told her that you said you had a crush on me, and she connected the dots."

"Ugh! I told you she was dangerous!"

"At least she won't tell anybody!"

"How do you know?!"

"Because I trust her!"

"Yeah, and I'm sure she trusted you and look how that turned out! With you kissing Lila!"

"I know! Now I have to go explain things! That's why I came over here! To ask if you'd seen her!"

"I saw her leave."

"But she didn't take her jacket?"

"Maybe she forgot it. She looked pretty upset."

"Oh gosh. I gotta go, I'll see you later!" I say, and run to the door.

I go ahead and grab her jacket along with mine, and start to her house, taking out my phone.

Clicking on the "Angel😇💖" contact, I call.

It almost immediately cuts off.

I quickly hide and transform, then go to her house.

Almost every light is off, so I assume most of the inhabitants have gone to bed.

But there's y/n's bedroom light, shining from behind her curtains.

I jump to the balcony and knock, right as it's going off.

Clearly she's awake, so I knock again.

After a few minutes, she doesn't answer.

I take the hint, and leave her jacket on the chair, then jump away to my house.

💚🖤💚🖤💚🖤💚🖤💚🖤💚🖤💚
I really planned on getting this out sooner, but ugh. Schoolwork.
