Prologue + Chapter 1: I'll Wait/How It  Started
I'm his first friend he met outside of home.
Le Flashback When (Y/N) First Met Adrian/Chat Noir:
(Y/N) Pov:
Age 14:
Adrian Agreste my class mate, I met him on the day when he was running away from his body guards to go to school. At first I thought these people were trying to kidnap him so I was about to smack one his bodyguards with my umbrella I'm holding. I always carry just in case it rains or gets too hot and I can have a little shade. Adrian stopped me right away and told me it was just his bodyguards. I was so embarrassed. I immediately apologizing to his bodyguards for the misunderstanding, while Adrian was helping an old man. I think the old man was having trouble or fell? I couldn't really see what really happened since I was too busy apologizing to his bodyguards who are not really paying attention to me, after that his body guards catch up with him and left with them but somehow Adrian convince somebody that he could stay at school. I was surprised to see him walk in my class later that day.
We both are new to College Françoise Dupont but I already had a tour around the school and a map. Adrian already knew me from earlier so he asked me if I could help him find his other class and show him around. I gladly said sure but also told him I was new student too. I don't know everything so we should ask another student to assist with us. We asked Nino, the first boy that say hello to him and his seat pal.
The third us really hit it off and exchanged numbers while giving a tour to Adrian and refreshing my memory on things I missed.
Adrian was so happy during the tour. He told us that he was homeschooled for most of his life and it took a lot of effort to convince his father to let him come to here. He also was happy that he made two friends already on the first day. And hope to continue making more friends and have a great school year.
I'm usually not good at showing emotion but when Adrian said that I feel something inside of me. Maybe it was pity and sorrow? I always found school a living hell and a drag but when I heard Adrian talking like it's the most amazing thing that ever happened it made me feel a bit ashamed. Not everybody can have the privilege like I have. School sucks sometimes but I'm glad that I have it. And I hope I could show Adrian a great school time. Plus it helps that we are almost in all the same classes.
When we finish the tour we went back to the class where we met only for Adrian to get tackled by blonde hair girl. Calling him a stupid nickname that he obviously hate and try to convince him to sit next to her. When Adrian looked at us she looked where he had his attention at and it was me and Nino. She sneered at us and told Adrian not to hang out with people like us.
I got so annoyed at her I wanted to say something but besides not good at expressing myself... I'm pretty shy and awkward. And absolutely hate conflict. I told both boy I'll take my seat now and maybe we'll talk later. My seat was in the back of the classroom.
A couple minutes later.
I felt so bad for Adrian and I couldn't say anything because I was too awkward and shy. Chloe was not leaving him alone and she got this girl name Marinette to get mad at Adrian for something he didn't do. Adrian didn't put the gum on her seat it was Chloe but Marinette thought it was Adrian because she saw him standing near her seat but he was just trying to remove it. She didn't even let him explain himself! Just yelling at him and accusing him.
'I need to help him...' I thought and got up filled determination. But everything went crashing down when the teacher enter and I slam my butt back in my seat. 'Fudged...'
'I'm a terrible friend... I just met him but I want to give a good first impression... Whhhyyyy is this hard....'
It got worse when this guy name Ivan got in trouble and came back as a giant stone monster. My anxiety and fear were through the roof. I got scared, screamed and ran out before stopping halfway through going back for my stuff/umbrella and grabbing Adrian and Nino's wrist, pulling them out of the classroom, while doing all that I still haven't stopped my screaming.
"We need to run up the hills and never look back!" I gasped when I felt one of them gently pull my hand off the wrist. I stopped and looked back and it was Adrien.
"Thank you for coming back for us but I need to do something!" With that said Adrian running in the direction back towards the school.
"No Adrian!-" Both Nino and I cried out but was caught off by a loud rumble.
"Nino hide!" I let go of his wrist, not waiting for his response, I accidentally drop most my stuff except my umbrella and ran back to try to find Adrian.
When I go back to school, right away I was in danger. Random objects/rocks falling from the sky and all I could do is freeze in fear and scream. A black blur came out and scoop me up in his arms, jumped out-of-the-way just in time. I close my eyes and clinging to him tightly like my life depends on it and it kind of does.
"Whoa there~. You're only holding a little too tight M'lady.~" Purred a flirtatious mysterious voice.
I opened my eyes to see beautiful emerald cat eyes.
"You're safe now, M'lady.~" He winked.
I blushed lightly before slowly relaxing my hold around his neck. I think I may have been choking him... He notice I relaxed and gently put me down on my feet. I got a better look at him. Gorgeous green cat eyes, wearing black mask, cute untamed blonde hair, black cat ears, black leather textured skin-tight catsuit with metal details, matching gloves, has a golden bell on his neck, connected to a zipper on the front of his costume, and a long belt that wraps around his waist and hangs out from the back like a tail.
'Oh my lord... he's hot...'
What... the... HECK! Why did I thought that!S-stupid brain!
"Cat got your tongue?" He asked with a small chuckle.
"I-I I'm okay... I'm just PURRfect." I slap my hands over my mouth. Why did I do that?! A cat pun?! I'm so lame! My umbrella was hanging on my wrist so when I covered my mouth I accidentally smack myself in the stomach. I didn't flinch. I didn't want to make myself more of a fool than I am now.
'Ow... Out of the times, I hit myself... why now...'
"Nice one! I think we'll get along purrfect, purrincess.~ Name's Chat Noir and I would love to continue chatting with you but I need to stop that giant stone butt over there before it hurts any more people."
'He c-called me princess!? Well purrincess but still the same!' And he didn't comment about the umbrella. He's either sweet or didn't notice.
He was ready to jump off the roof until I stopped him by grabbing his shoulder. He paused and turn his head to look over his shoulder at me.
"S-Sorry! I just wanna thank you and my name is (Y/N)! I owe you one!" I let go of his shoulder right away and feeling my face turning red hot. Good thing I didn't grab him with my umbrella hand.
"You don't owe me anything it's a heroes duty to protect beautiful ladies like you!" He purred, turning around and grabbing my hand lightly before placing a soft kiss on my knuckle.
'SO BOLD!' I feel like my brain is blowing a fuse.
"YOU FLIRT!" I close my eyes tightly and pulled my hand away from his and used both hands to grip the umbrella handle swinging hard at him.
"OOOOOOF!"
I opened my eyes and gasped in horror. I hit him off the roof! I thought he'll dodge it since he's a super hero! I heard a loud crash.
I peek over the edged of the roof to see he landed head first in trash can. His whole upper body was in the trashcan and his legs are sticking out in a funny way.
'That funny and painfully looking.'
"I thought cat always land on their feet! Go save Paris!" I yelled over the edge. When he started to move, I squealed and ran off to find a way off the roof.
'Idiot! Idiot! Idiot! Idiot!' I repeated over and over in my head. I don't handle teasing or flirting well... I barely socialize and have friends! I mostly freak out or freezes... but I been working on bettering my self.
"Great... He save me and I thank him knocking him off the roof... If I see him again I need to apologize..." I mumbled to myself.
I hoped I didn't hurt him too much...
A couple hours later.
Wow... Two superheroes? That's interesting. I like Chat Noir more thought. Ladybug is alright but her hero costume look lame, no hate tho. Her speech to Hawkmoth was cool but I hope she doesn't mess up that often. Stoneheart came back twice. Ehhh maybe I'm being picky... I just don't like seeing people in fear or hurt.
I signed...
"You okay, dude?" Nino asked while placing his hand on my shoulder.
"I'm not a dude, dude." I said. I got up from my seat, Nino hand slide off my shoulder and I start packing up my things to go back home.
"Sorry..."
"S'cool... I'm just thinking about everything that happened in a few hours almost day... I think?" The last part I was mumbling to myself.
"About Ladybug and Chat Noir?" That perked up his interest and he looks excited.
"Yeah. It's... it's ... just... it's just... wow." I'm speechless.
"Same! It's gnarling! Wanna walk together to talk about?" He offered with a warm friendly smile.
"Nah. You go ahead. I still need to pack up." I kind of regret over packing and I took everything out too...
"Sure?" Nino ask one more time.
"Yup!" I said while popping the P.
"Alrighty! See ya tomorrow!" Nino pat my back and throw his backpack over his shoulder exiting out the door.
I took a while. When I was done I look up to see Marinette is still in the class room. We're the only ones here! In a blink of a eye I was in front of Marinette.
"Gah! What-?!" She jumped back at my sudden appearance. I grabbed her shoulders and stared deep into her blue bell eyes.
" Adrian didn't put gum on your seat. Chile-Chloe-Cleo! Agh! I'm going for Chloe! Chloe did it! She blonde hair-high ponytail, and sunglasses girl! Adrian was trying to remove the gum off, that Chloe put on your seat when you came and saw." I said in one breath. When I was done I was breathing heavily with my face probably bright red right now. I don't know if she will believe me or not but at least I tried.
" I haven't know Adrian for long but he's not that type of guy who would do that... He's good guy. Plus he's been homeschool for his whole life so he doesn't know how to be mean probably."
" Marinette are you, OK?" The girl with glasses I think her name was Alya walked through the classroom door. I thought we were alone!
"Ek!" I let go of her shoulders, run out and went to the girls bathroom.
"WHHHHYYYY!" I always gets scared when somebody just pops out nowhere or comes out unannounced. It's freaks me out!
A couple minutes later.
I hope they left by now... I walk towards the school entrance to see two figure standing there.
"Shoot, they are!- Is that Adrian?"
Why is Adriana and Marinette alone together, wasn't she with Alya? I see Adrian giving her his umbrella. I looked past them to see it's raining. I open up my umbrella, quickly jog up to Adrian while he was running to his ride. Adrian pause halfway there and look behind him to see me holding my umbrella over both our heads.
"Huh? I thought it was strange when I didn't feel any rain on me." Adrian said with a soft look on his face.
"I saw you giving your umbrella to Marinette. I ran to catch up with you so you don't get wet in the rain." I said, giving him a gentle push towards his ride. That's a really nice black limo.
" I thought you left already?" He asked softly while walking slowly to his car.
" Same here. I just brought too much things for my first day and took everything out so it took me a while to put everything back... Plus I may have freaked out earlier and ran to the bathroom and try to wait until they left..." I talk fast hopefully he didn't understand me. I hate lying but also hate it when I tell the truth if it's embarrassing. I try to talk fast so they can't understand.
"What freak you out?" Adrian look at me with concern on his face. It looks like he heard everything. But he's not judging me.
I smiled softly at him. "People." I awkwardly laughed.
" I think you're pretty good with people." He looked at me confused.
" O-only if it's one or two at a time. I don't do well in large groups or I'm the center of attention." I awkwardly confess. "I've been working on my awkwardness and shyness but I do get these—- I call a hiccup once in a while."
"What's-?" We were in front of his limo so I cut him off.
"Adrian he's holding open the door for you. Just text me when you're free and I'll tell you."
Adrian look back at his limo and to see his bodyguard holding the door open for him. I hold the umbrella over the limo's door and he got in quickly. Once in the bodyguard quickly close the door and Adrian roll down the window a little bit. "Walk home safe. I think you're doing a great job so far. If you don't mind I could help you to overcome your shyness if you want?"
" I don't wanna be a burden to you, it's my problem."
"I wanna help! That's what friends do. Friends help each other." The car starts moving so I run after it.
"I want to do it on my own! But if I need anything I'll ask you first!" I yelled him as the limo moved farther away.
"Of course see you tomorrow! And thank you for—-!" Yelled back before the window got rolled back up cutting off the last part he was saying.
I stop running and just watch the limo drive farther and farther away.
"... dummy... why the heck you chased his car? I could've just text him or wait until tomorrow." I signed.
I have a lot of work to do for myself... I turn back around and start walking to the direction back home. While walking I catch a glimpse of Marinette and for some reason she was glaring at me?
Once I was safe back home I texted Adrian what he was thanking me for and he said it was for telling Marinette what really happened with the gum. I smiled at that and told him sorry I couldn't help when it was happening. He said it was fine and at least I did something.
A week later:
Adrian Nino and I been getting along really well. I seen Chat Noir and Ladybug on the news but not in person. I only met Chat Noir in person not Ladybug. I hope Chat Noir isn't mad at me for hitting him with my umbrella...
"I been meaning to ask, dude-dudette! Why do you carry an umbrella?" Ask Nino while pointing at my umbrella.
"I noticed too. You almost have an umbrella every day and different kinds." Adrian added.
"You guys noticed! And that I have different ones! Well just in case it rains or it's too hot I can have some shade." I smiled at both of them. "I also kind like it as of a accessory. I have few different ones back home."
"I see that! That one time you walked me to my car you had a like a clear umbrella with a curvy handle and a little heart on the tip." His eyes look like it sparkle bit when he remembered that.
"I'm impressed that you noticed there was a heart at the tip! It's my second favorite umbrella!" I was surprise that he remember it, more or less look at my umbrella.
"BORING!" Chloe yelled as she walked in class.
"It's not! I think her umbrella are cool." Defend Nino.
"Whatever." Chloe give Adrian a quick hug and walked seat next to Sabrina.
Chloe did give me hard time a few days ago but thinks I'm too boring to take her 'Adrikins' away from her so she been ignoring me or just tell me how boring I am. I don't mind. But I'm actually worried that if I am boring to my friends for real.
"Sorry about Chloe. I do like your umbrellas. I think it's cute. Especially the cherry blossom umbrella you got today." Adrian said with sweet close eye smile. I cover my face in embarrassment. Compliments are so embarrassing to me!
"Okay... Thank you, Adrian."
"You're get better at getting compliments!"
"J-just barely. The other day I hit Nino with my umbrella just because he said I look good in a dress..." I look down ashamed. I decided to wear a dress a few days ago to just shake it up some thing a bit. Hoping nobody notice... nobody did until Adrian and Nino saw me. Adrian open his mouth to say something but Nino beat him first by saying ' You look good with a dress.'
I freaked out.... and swing my umbrella... hard... on his stomach. Never gonna wear a dress! Maybe when I get more confidence...
"So sorry! I'm so so very sorry!" I mumbled in my hands.
"I'm fine! Don't sweat it!" Nino chuckled.
"Why can't you just accept the compliment?" Adrian asked.
I slowly remove my hands off my face.
" I can't get in full detail but it's just a shocker when you just say that to me randomly." I signed. "If you think that's bad wait until I get flirted. It's worse."
"Note taken..." Nino laughed nervously.
Before we say anything else Alya and Marinette walked in together. Alya walked over to us and said good morning and Marinette is just awkwardly shuffling towards us, obviously staring at Adrian really intensely.
"Hey, guys! And gal!" Alya happily greeted.
I squirm in my seat uncomfortably. "H-h-HiIIii...—-Hello."
I still don't do good when people still suddenly come up to me.
I feel something warm gently gripping my hand. I looked down to see Adrian holding my hand in his and giving me a comforting squeeze. I looked up at his face to see him giving me a warm caring comforting smile.
I mouthed a thank you for the comfort.
When I turned back to look at the girls Marinette is glaring at me again. Why is she always glaring at me?! She's been glaring at me since the umbrella incident. I already know that she developed a crush on him and that's weird. One moment she's yelling and accusing him and then next she's head over heels over him?! I just see Adrian and Nino as friends! Geez! Can Adrian even have a girl that is a friend just a friend?! I know I have problems and I'm working on it but I hope Marinette doesn't develop problems and it get worse.
One month Later :
I talked to Alya a little better now. We only talked like once in a while anyways I still prefer to hang out with Adrian and Nino. Alya been joining our group more recently and Marinette kind of hangs too but she just creepily stares at Adrian and mess up her sentence when she's try talking to him. It's a bit cringing to watch.
We were all being pretty open to each other talking about our home styles and life outside of school. I knew Adrian was a model but one thing that always kind of bother me is...um..
Why is Adrian is a model if he wears the same outfit in almost every photo shoot? Billboards and posters are the same outfit?! This boy need to wear more outfits.
I was just walking to school while just keep on seeing Adrian's ads all over everywhere!
And also it's really weird that Marinette already had a lot of posters of him in her room. And also he's the background of her computer. How do I know what her room looks like? A while back she invited Alya to her house and Alya invited me to help her get Adrian's phone number. That was really awkward because I obviously could tell she doesn't want me to be there. She was basically tripping over air when she saw me that how she acts when she sees Adrian and pulled Alya to the side so they could have a private talk together. Marinette came back to only ask me if I could give him his number and I said no you need to ask him yourself. She looked at me with jealousy but I only explain is that I will never give one of my friends numbers randomly to any person who asked for it. If they wanted it so bad they should just ask them themselves.
That's been almost a month ago and she still haven't had the courage to ask Adrian for his phone number.
I see Adrian walking to school entrance and I jogged up next to him.
" Adrian I think Marinette was trying to get your phone number." I randomly said to him. He jumped a bit but smiled at me and asked me what I said again. I repeat it again.
"Really?"
"Yeah."
"Okay. I'll give it to her after my fencing classes."
"Cool."
"What's on your mind?"
"Now or what been for a while." It's so easy to just talk to him. I never felt like this with my friends back home. Not like I had that much to begin with but still. But on second thought I was never really open to them... Adrian just makes it so easy to talk to him.
"For a while." I see that perks up Adrian interest.
"Chat Noir. I know he's a superhero and-stuff but I haven't seen him since the first day of school. I seen him but only on the news or when saving Paris but we never talked again..." I know being a superhero is really busy job but I get worried that he always gets hurt a lot and Ladybug used him as a human object that doesn't help.
" Plus I never got to say sorry to him when I hit him with an umbrella..." I mumbled out softly but I think he heard me anyways.
"You're not worried about Ladybug?"
I looked at him confused. What in the ducks quack I would care about Ladybug? I was talking about Char Noir not her.
"She's not the one who's getting thrown at villains." I deadpanned.
Before Adrian say anything we heard the school bell. We've been talking a in front of the school entrance for a while and we're going to be late! Are late!?
"W-we're going to be late or already are!" I grabbed his wrist and start jogging up the stairs. Adrian hand I'm holding wrapped around my wrist too.
"Do really want to see him? Chat Noir?"
"Yeah! But right now, it's not the time!"
Adrian let out a small giggle and say of course not right now. And something else but we run through the classroom door and everybody was staring at us. So embarrassing...
After school, back home on the rooftop.
"Chat I'm so sorry!" I cried hard, on my knees with tears going down my face.
After school was just terrible first Adrian left his bag at my table so I tried to give it back and I saw Marinette stealing his phone and I couldn't do anything because everybody came back from practice. I panicked and threw Adrian's backpack that smacked him in the stomach hard and I ran out.
I ran all the way back home ignored any of my family members/siblings/guardian, went to my room and threw all my stuff on my bed including my umbrella and went straight to the rooftop.
I was sitting curl up in a ball on the roof top regretting my decisions and questioning my life existence when Chat Noir jumped in front of me and scared the living heck out of me!
The sudden appearance nearly gave me a heart attack that I didn't notice it was him right away and I may have accidentally head butted him in the... crotch... It was kind of his fault for just jumping right in front of me!
It was too much for me and tears start going down my face.
"I'M SO SORRY!" I sobbed out.
I couldn't see him clearly. I was blinded by my tears but I heard a weak mumble but I couldn't understand him either over my crying.
I heard a knock behind me.
"Just Leave her be, you know how she acts!"
"I know but-"
"Just give her at least like 20 minutes and then we check on her again. She just needs a moment and she'll be fine."
They argued a bit and eventually fading away.
I calm down a bit and looked at Chat who is in the resting pose. You know that pose you kinda do in yoga when you rest? But instead of his hands extended forward it's tucked under him.
"I-I'm happy they didn't come up here since I was in pain and can't move but also I'm kind of worried they didn't check on you since you're crying/distressed on a rooftop." He mumbled against the roof tiles.
" I rarely get like this but if I do it's better that I just let it out because if they talk to me I kind of try to bottle in and it gets worse later." I sniffle and wipe my tears. I got up and walk towards the roof door. "I'll come back stay right there."
"Like I can move right now..." Chat Noir groan in pain.
A couple minutes later.
I came back to see Chat laying on his back now. I walked behind him and hold a ice pack towards him.
"Sorry... again..."
"Thanks..." He said taking the ice pack and plays it on his groin. Hissing a little at the sudden coldness.
Kneeling behind his head gently lifting his head and placing it on my lap. His eyes go wide open looking at me while I pet his head softly. When my (pick any pet you want) (pet name) gets nervous or in pain I gently lay them on my lap while petting them. It always helps them relax.
" I thought you would have some fast cat like reflexes... since you know... ya a cat." I bluntly said.
Chat continue staring at me until he finally burst out laughing and cringe a bit when he accidentally kicked his legs causing the ice to jump on this groin.
"You're really are something.~" He said when he finally catches his breath and wiping his eyes from a few tears that came from laughing so hard.
"Something bad?" I ask worriedly. I start twisting his hair gently between my fingers.
"Something extraordinary.~" He lean his head closer into my touch.
"I'm gonna push you off this roof." I deadpanned. "I can't handle flirting."
"I'm serious. I also wanna apologize for not seeing you sooner. It's not easy being a hero, it's so new to me and I was trying to get the hang of it. I kinda of thought you didn't like me since you hit me with your umbrella..."
"Oh..-.." I remove my hands from his hair.
"I know better now! I found out when I was patrolling and I saw you hitting one of your friends! You're not good with compliments and flirting right?"
At this point I just stop listening I just feel just ...
"Mhm..." I sighed and rub my face with both my hands.
I feel Chat Noir shift on my lap and suddenly I feel two arms wrapped around my waist. I pulled my hands away from my face and looked down to see Chat Noir flipped over his body, now laying on his stomach, his arms wrapped tightly around my waist and he's looking up my face with big cute kitty eyes with his pupils dilated.
'My heart... i'm going to explode from cuteness!'
"Aww...." I awed. I placed both my hands on each side of his cheeks, giving a gentle squeeze.
"You're being too adorable kitty!" Chat blushes. I can feel the warmth of his cheeks on my hand.
"I mean it." He suddenly said.
"Huh?" I pause my squishing and let go of his face. Chat release his hold on my waist and push his body up to eye level.
"You're extraordinary. I want to get to know you better. Can we meet up sometimes on the rooftop and just you know talk?"
"I-I wouldn't mind but will it be too much trouble for you?" The look he's giving me makes me feel a little funny. Plus it doesn't help that he's really close to my face and his hands caging me between his arms. But why is he being so genuine...
"You'll never be too much trouble to me, darling.~" Chat genuine face disappeared and a flirty smirk replaced it as he let's out a low deep purr. He leans his face close to me rubbed his cheek against mine.
I didn't say anything as I gently place both my hands on his shoulders. That cause him to purr louder until suddenly I shove them off the roof.
I just stare at my extended arms while hearing a loud crash happen below.
"I warned you about flirting naughty kitty." I said blankly and pick up the ice pack that fell to the side and went back inside my house.
Two months Later:
We're both back on my roof top.
"Hey Chat how was protocol?" I ask the tired cat hero. While he laid his head on my lap, I took my chance to played with his golden locks of hair.
"Boring and tiring Ladybug made me did all of it for the last couple days." Chat reply with a slightly bitter tone but the more I play with his hair the relaxer he gets.
"That's not fair."I thought out loud. "You guys are partners you do everything together?"
"I know, right?! I'm going to say something to her when I see her." Chat agreed with me.
"Good Chat!" I encourage the cat hero.
I don't want to tell Chat Noir but I know Ladybug is Marinette. I found out last month when I was in the school bathroom my feet were on the toilet seat because I saw a huge bug earlier. Somebody just burst it and I stay quiet as I peaked through the bathroom stall crack to see Marinette rushing to one of the stalls next to me. I heard her talk to something named Tikki to spots on? A bright light happens and later Ladybug just came out from same bathroom stall where she was.
' Marinette is Ladybug or I'm getting high off these cheap chemical bathroom fumes...' I thought that day.
I also been catching Ladybug doing suspicious things like following Adrian from a distance like Marinette does. And I saw her gawking at Adrian's billboard a lot of times like Marinette does.
I was ready to tell Chat Noir who she was until he told me that she said that they need to keep their secret identity a secret to even to each other.
That's kind of dumb but also makes sense. I feel like they wouldn't keep it a secret that well anyways.
" I just wish that she trust me... it hurts that she can't tell me what her secret special mission is about." He frowned/pouted/looked annoyed.
'Probably stalking Adrian...'
"Well I trust you, my precious kitty cat." I smiled at him and booped his nose.
He blinks in surprise and smiles charming at me.
"You're the best. Sorry that I came over today to just complain."
"D-don't apologize. It's normal to feel frustrated when your partner is leaving you in the dark." His eyes soften while he looked at me.
"She need to fulfill her duties too you know." My stomach growls suddenly and I blush in the embarrassment.
"Speaking of fulfill. I need to do my duty to get some snacks for us." I laughed awkwardly, tapping his head gently, signaling him to get up. He chuckled softly and remove his head off my lap. His ring starts beeping.
"Sure. And remember to bring some Camembert. Oh and knock on the door before leaving the Camembert near the door. I'll tell you when to come back."
Chat spends a lot of time with me so sometimes his ring runs out and he transform outside and I just leave cheese near the door with my back towards the door after I knocked. I'm flattered that he will transform back to his normal form and then back to his hero form to just stay long with me.
A couple minutes later.
How did I get lucky... I smiled at myself, walking back to the where the door access of roof while holding a plate full of different snacks and my home made Camembert. I do a bit of cooking and I absolutely love making cheeses but my family can't stand the smell. But I prefer baking. I would love to have some donuts again... maybe I can find a part-time job at a bakery or something? I see all of that as a hobby not really something I want like a career choice. I also sew some plushes for fun. For a career I would love something that it involves travel the ocean one day.
I see the roof door and open it.
'Maybe I should be-.." I cut myself and look at the door knob I was holding onto. I just open the door without knocking... I didn't mean to look but out of reflex I looked up and saw Adrian sitting on the ground with his back turn to the door holding a weird black creature that was mumbling cheese I need cheese...
I slowly backed away and close the door. Thanking the Lord that it didn't squeak loudly or anything. I put the placed the plate next to the door and knocked on it.
"C-chat kitty get your geez-cheese!" I yelled out and turn my back to the door.
I hear the door open and close.
"Are you okay?" Chat ask with a bit concern in his voice.
"Ye-yeah. A bomb just been dropped on me but I'm fine..." I hate lying but also I don't feel like telling him the truth what I just did. Maybe I was just seeing things. It can't be Adrian but I did kind of see some resemblances- no! I turned around and peaked in the key hole. I see Adrian looking at the door with concern look on his face while the little black thing is eating my homemade cheese happily.
"This the best cheese I've ever had! Ask where she gets this stuff!" Yelled the black creature in a cute tiny voice before shoving the whole cheese in his mouth and finishing it in one gulp.
"Plagg be quiet. She could hear you." He whisper yelled at the creature. "Plagg, claws out!"
"I want mo—-!" He couldn't reach for another cheese off the plate before he got sucked in his ring and Adrian changed back Chat Noir.
I covered my mouth to stop my squeak. I quickly back away from the door and had my back towards it again. I've never been more happy than wearing (F/C) crocs right now. Comfortable and silent.
I hear the door open and a gentle claw hand placed on my shoulder. Every time when Chat was done he always open the door and tell me I can come in. I looked back at him to see he still has that concern look on his face.
"What was it?"
"Chat do you trust me?..."
"Of course! I trust you the most." He said without hesitation.
I feel a bit stinging in my eyes. I turn my body around and tackle him in a hug.
"Chat you can't believe how much you mean to me... Thank you so much for always coming to see me... You and another person that I care for are the only ones I truly trust too."
Chat looks a little surprised but returned my hug. "If you don't mind me asking who's the other person?"
"Adrian Agreste."
I hear Chat Noir slightly gasped and looking gaped at that. " I haven't told him that yet... I'm just so grateful I have a friend to talk back home and friend to hang at school... Thank you... I just feel like if anything happens I will always have you guys to help me and you could rely on me... just thank you..." So much emotions are coming at me... but I feel so happy to know that the two guys I care about are the same person. Adrian actually had a better costume design than Marinette. I won't tell him yet that I know his secret identity. I won't ever tell anybody that he is Chat Noir. He always keep me safe and happy and I'll do the same to him. The best of my ability I could do.
I feel the cat hero tighten his hug and rest his head against my shoulder. I don't like people touching me but Chat/Adrian are the only exceptions. I rest my head against his collar bone.
"I should be the one saying thank you... I know we only know each other for a short time but you seriously are the best friend I ever had... Thank you... And I am pretty sure that Adrian feel the same too..."
Three months Later:
I went out to have ice cream with Alya and her friends. I had my umbrella with me this time. Nino and Alya got together recently and they are the cutest couple I seen so far besides Ivan and Mylène.
Nino used to have a crush on Marinette. Actually he told us honestly that he like somebody else first besides her. He wasn't sure if he should go for her first. I asked who she was but instead of telling me he just grabbed Adrian's arm and ran off with him. I was really confused by that but a couple minutes later he came back with Adrian behind him. He told me Adrian and him had a quick talk and Adrian suggested that it's better choice to go for Marinette. The first person he talked about maybe be a little more difficult and maybe Marinette will go more smoother.
Me and Adrian end up trying to help him hook up with Marinette and take turns speaking in the microphone telling Nino what to say to her while hiding in the bushes together. Adrian was such a romantic. Every time he says something, he's so sweet he will be looking at me the whole time. I could feel my face heating up. I don't know much about romance but I do like to read romance novels, comics and mangas. I let Adrian did most of the talking. I think he was doing better at this than me. I never knew this side of Adrian. I know he's a flirt when he's Chat Noir but wow...
But of course Marinette was only had her attention on finding Adrian and knowing where is Adrian... and somebody got akumatized. Me and Adrian grabbed each others hands and ran away together. I found somewhere safe but Adrian told me he was going to find some help. I give him a quick hug and told him to be careful.
And somehow in the mess Nino and Alya got together instead of Nino and Marinette. I think this was the better choice for him.
Enough of them back to the ice cream!
This ice cream is for couples and Adrian was really excited about it and was hoping to go as partners with me but he text me later that something happened and his father is not letting him. He also texted it to Nino. He gonna be the one who gonna breaks the news to everyone. I don't like to doing that.
I'm a little disappointed but at least there still will be ice cream for me!
I was first in line and the nice ice cream man named André made me a cone of mint chip on the bottom and Black vanilla ice cream on top and half broken Oreos on either side on the black part that kind of resemble cat ears.
"Here you go! He may wear black nowadays but his eyes will never change! You're pet aka your sweet heart.~" André tease lightly with the wink.
I could feel my face turning red. I had the urge to push him off the bridge but I control myself and just took my ice cream. I said thank you walking towards the bench.
Soon as Alya and her friends follow me and they all have a big stupid smirk on their face.
"Wow...~ what was that? You have a crush? Secret boyfriend?!" Alya was the first to ask. Soon everybody else was asking questions over each other.
I try to keep my cool but my face is probably betraying me. "I am not gonna tell you guys anything the only one I'm close to is Nino and even he doesn't get to know my love life."
"Hmm... we need to change it how about a girls night out!" Alya yelled excitedly.
"W-what?—-what no—-!"
"That's settled we're having a sleepover at your place!" A sleepover at my place?! D-don't I get a say in that?!?!
This was getting too much to me. 'I just wanted to get some ice cream God dammit!' Ops! I shouldn't say the lords name in vain...
I got up from the bench and said I forgot to do something back home and left with my ice cream.
On the way back home I finished my ice cream and went to the rooftop. The moment I closed my door behind me a familiar cat hero just jumped in front of me.
"Chat your lucky I'm getting used to your jump scare." I sighed out in relief and pet my chest softly. Good think I didn't decide to smack him again. And I kept my umbrella on me this time.
"Can take you somewhere." Chat said suddenly. I look at him to see he has kind of a sad mix with blank face going on.
"Sure. I'm taking my umbrella with me." I jumped into his arms and he easily catch me in bride style.
A couple minutes later.
"You almost choked me again..." Chat rub his neck softly.
"This was only the second time you carried me somewhere. Remember you only pick me up sometimes but didn't take me somewhere else besides the first day you met me/saved me." I pouted. It's true! Adrian is a lot more bold when he's Chat Noir. He lays his head on my lap, likes head pets and sometimes when he gets extra frisky he picks me up and spins me around on the rooftop. But still haven't take me anywhere since that day he save me.
"And-what..." I cut myself in midsentence when I saw something glowing at the corner of my eye.
We're at a beautiful set up rooftop with candles all over all are blown out except for one in the center of the table with two chairs either side. There's a basket of bread and two plates.
"What's all of this for...?" I'm speechless.
"A date." He simply reply leaning against the railing looking off the distance.
"Wow I've never had a date before..." I said truthfully. I only seen this in comics and romance novels.
"I was planning this for Ladybug but she didn't came... "
"Oh." Was all I said. Of course this is not for me but... eh stop it (Y/N)! He's upset! Try to make him feel better!
I walked up to him and hugged him from behind. " I think it's very beautiful. Did you told her you got her something set up or you ask her?"
"I asked her and she didn't really give me a clear answer but I really hope that she would've come but still..." He grumbled out while rubbing circles on my knuckle with his pointer finger.
"Well didn't you tell me that she's in love with somebody else?" That somebody is Adrian a.k.a. you in your civilian form.
"Yeah.. but I though-.."
"Chat should I tell you something what I truly think about this...?" I let go of him kind of missing him rubbing small circles on my hand but I really wanna make him feel better.
"What is it?" He turned around to look at me fully.
"I seen on the news how she treats you and also how you speak of her to me... She sounds like a great hero partner but that's it. She ignores you every time you pick those beautiful roses for her. You confess to her and she doesn't take you seriously and now you made this date and look where she is. Not here." He looks at me with hurt in his eyes. I didn't want to hurt him but I also want him to know how this really looks at least to me. It's just my opinion. But he literally does all these things for her and she doesn't blink an eye for him.
"I—-see the love child of Frosty the Snowman and ice cream...?" My eyes drift behind him to see a giant weird snowman ice cream thing coming towards us.
Chat turn around and right away pick me up as that monster shoot ice cream at our direction.
The cat hero jumped from rooftop to rooftop until we landed safely on the ground.
"Sugar honey iced tea that was really close!" I wobble a bit when I got back on my legs.
"Are you OK? I know I suddenly pick you up-..." Adrian gently hold onto my shoulders hoping that he was helping stop my wobble.
"What a rush! It's like a roller coaster just taking a huge drop! I want to do it again!" I start jumping up and down, clapping my hands like a little girl.
"W-What?! Why don't you feel that when I carried you-!"
"Because I wasn't freaking out over rocks crushing me or you dropping me! Wow! And I'm just strange." I dust some dirt off my pants and saw that my umbrella was still attached to my wrist. "Look at that! I still have my umbrella!"
Chat just stared at me with absolute shock before a giant grin broke onto his face and he starts laughing. "You truly are extraordinary.~"
I looked at the cat hero with a slight blush on my face. Before I could say anything somebody tackles both down to the ground behind a car.
"Focus and watch out for Glaciator! He almost got you guys!" Yelled a annoying voice. Was the voice annoying or was the voice annoyed itself? I don't know but she made Chat crashed to the ground harder than me since I'm on top of him. I crawled off of him and help him sit halfway up.
"Chat are-?" I asked in a soft quiet voice but the one that tackle us yelled. "Shut up!"
I sharply turned around and smacked her in the face with my umbrella.
"Ow-!"
"SHHHHH!" I shush harshly at her in her face and I just realize it's Ladybug.
"Come out come out wherever you are!" I think that is Glaciator who said that.
Ladybug quickly explain situation to Chat ignoring me, but Ladybug and I saw a couple about to be attacked but for some reason the giant ice cream man spared them and walked away. Wait... oh heck no. Is André Glaciator?! I have a huge hunch that Marinette probably upset him just because Adrian wasn't coming. I didn't get the chance to see her get her ice cream since I already left.
" I have an idea! Chat come with me!" Ladybug grab the Chat Noir his arm and starts walking towards Glaciator. I stand up from behind the car and looking annoyed at her. She just gonna pretend to be a couple to stop a villain?! Chat still has his feelings hurt that she didn't come to the date. I know she didn't need to come but at least she could've at least tell him, Hey I can't or I decided not to come or something like that. Not just leave him hanging!
I ran up behind her and smacked her hard with my umbrella that she crashed into a wall.
"Don't play with his heart like that!" I angrily yelled but now that giant ice cream monster is looking at us.
"There you are heroes!" Glaciator points at us with his ice cream arm ready to shoot.
I gasped when Chat protectively hugs me tightly. His whole body is covering me.
"Glaciator leave her out of this! You want me and Ladybug!"
"No Chat!" I'm starting to freak out and in the pathetic way to protect ourselves. I've read my arm where I have my umbrella and open it in front of us like it's going to be a shield for us.
Glaciator lower down his arm and stared at us.
"You two... willing to protect... sacrifice... I-I thought—- You two are the real lovebirds here! I can't do it! I can't do it, Hawkmoth!" It's looking like he's having a meltdown/argument with Hawkmoth.
"Chat it's this is our chance to get his Akuma!" Ladybug ripped Chat Noir away from me with her yo-yo and sling shot him through the ice cream man body. That caused me to fall hard on my butt and my umbrella slipped out of my hands. Chat came out holding André. Chat took away his ice cream scoop and broke it, out came purple blackish butterfly.
Ladybug captured it with her yo-yo and she said miraculous ladybug and everything went back to normal.
"What happened." André said in confusion. Ladybug and Chat both help them get up. Ladybug quickly explain what happened to him and then look back at her partner with her fist up. "Pounded-!"
"(Y/N) are you hurt!?" Chat left her with her fist up to assist me. He grabbed both my hands gently and pulled me up back on my feet.
"Besides my butt kissing the concrete. I'm alright. What about you?! She just grabbed you like a ragdoll and threw you inside the villain!" I dust my butt and cringe a bit from the pain. I'm definitely gonna feel bad in the morning.
"I'm much tougher than I look.~ I'm not just a pretty face you know.~" Chat purred while flexing his nonexistent muscles.
"Don't start with me." I deadpanned at him. He's definitely fine if he's back to flirting. " I'm gonna hit you with my-... where's my-?"
" I believe this parapluie is yours, mademoiselle."
I look behind Chat to see André holding up my umbrella and behind him is Ladybug with her fist still extended out. Is she giving a fist pump to the air or something?
"Merci." I gently take back my umbrella he was holding out for me. It was still open. This is my third favorite umbrella that's shaped as a heart. I closed it and put it back on my wrist.
"Chat Noir... I thought you and Ladybug were a thing but I now see how you truly happy with this lovely gorgeous young lady that's besides you!"
I look at Chat's other side to see no other woman next to him. What lovely gorgeous young woman is he talking about?
"Where?" I ask, now I'm looking all around.
André let's out a whole heartily laughed. "And a woman of sense of humor! So modest! What a catch!" He grabbed our hands and connected with each other. " May you two live happy joyful lives together for many years!" With that said he walked away talking to himself about couples in love.
We slowly stared at our hands that are intertwine together. And back slowly looking at our faces both faces are bright red.
"I-I I'll take you back..." Without another word Chat scooped me back in his arms and jump back to the roofs. I looked behind him to still see Ladybug staying there but now putting her arm down.
A couple minutes later.
Chat take me back on the rooftop where he set up the romantic date for Ladybug.
"Huh?" I look at him confused while he set me down back on my feet.
" Close your eyes, please." He asked politely. I decided to go along with it. I waited patiently while swinging my umbrella round.
"Open your eyes now."
I open my eyes. I see all the candles got light up again and Chat standing in front of me with a beautiful (favorite color) rose.
"Can't let all this go to waste... I hope you don't mind spending this night with me..." He got down on one knee and extend his arm out towards me with the rose right in front of me now.
"As a friendly date?"
I take the rose from his hands our fingertips brushed against each other. I took a small sniff from it it smells so lovely and fresh.
"I would love that..."
" A quick warning the food might be cold..."
"Foods food. Not my first time eating cold food. Let eat!"
(How the umbrella looks like.)
Four months Later;
"Thank you so much for letting me help out the bakery Mr. and Mrs. Dupain-Cheng!" I smiled at Marinette's parents for letting me work here part time after school and when I have free time.
"Please call us Tom and Sabine while you work here! I didn't know you wanted to be a baker!" Tom smiled as his wife passes me a white apron.
"I like to do baking for a hobby. My main career... I wanna do underwater welding or be a Marine biologist something. I'm not really sure yet but I it have to involved traveling around the ocean!" I reply, putting on the apron and tying it behind me.
"I quite enjoy baking and I kind of miss it. But I'm only one who bakes in my family well not true my family do bake but they're lazy." I laughed.
My people skills has been improving! Well I think so I hope... I may not like Marinette that much but I do enjoy her parents company! When they come over school for career day it was just a pleasure to meet them.
"Okay! I'm going to wash my hands and I'm ready to help you in anything you need!"
A couple days later:
"Wow! You made donuts all by yourself?!" Tom looked amazed at my two dozen donut batch I made.
"Yeah... sorry I should have asked before I made these..." I looked down. I just saw this cool Instagram pictures of donuts and a recipe and I just had to try it! Maybe I should've done it back home and not when I'm working.
Tom took one of the heart shaped donuts I made and took a bite out of it.
"Ah! This is amazing! Don't be sorry! You are have a real talent! If you ever change your mind about being a baker I'll happy to help you!" Tom gasped out in delight.
Sabine walks in to see Tom finishing his first donut and grabbing a second one. "Sabine try this! (Y/N) made this all by herself!"
Sabine took the doughnut from her husband's hand and bit into it. She look like she was basically sparkling. She ate the one that looks like a little pig.
"So fluffy and soft and it basically melts in your mouth! We are so proud of you! I know you said this was just a hobby but you really put your heart and soul into everything you do! Mmmm...~" She took another bite savoring it much longer than her husband as he shove a second whole doughnut frog in his mouth.
"You shou—-Oh my! Are you okay?!"
I'm on the floor basically looking like a fresh dead corpse. I could basically see the steam rising off my head. Too much compliments! I'm overheating!
"Tom!" Tom looked over his wife with the third donut cat sticking out of his mouth he gasped and my donut fell to the ground. R.I.P my kitty doughnut you will be missed...
Tom pick me up and took me to their living room on the couch. Sabine walks next to me with the a beautiful flower fan in her hand and starts fanning me with it.
"Mom I'm- why is she here?!" Marinette come down the stairs with all her girl friends behind her. Tom runs past her upstairs.
" Marinette can you please watch your friend for a moment I need to go help Tom find the first aid kit." Sabine rushed to Marinette giving her the fan she was using to fan me.
"She not-!"
"Thanks!" She runs up the stairs like Tom did.
Alya was the first one rush to me.
"What happened?!" Soon the other girls follow behind her surrounding me also worried. Marinette was just gasping, did you put the fan in one of the close by small table drawers and was the last one but not that close to me.
".... donuts... Tom.... Sabine.... too much.... compliments..."
"She fine. Let's go." Marinette said impatiently.
"Girl just chill!" Alya slightly snap at Marinette causing everybody to look at her in surprise even Marinette.
"I'm fine." I suddenly sit up like Michael Myers.
"I think I need to go home early. I made donuts-..."
"Sleepover!" Alya squealed.
"Huh?" I got up looking confused at her. She's just pushing me towards the bakery and she sees the donuts I made and put them all in a box and start carrying the box while pushing me out of the bakery.
"Slumber party at (Y/N)'s house!" When she said that Meredith parents came back down with the first aid kit looking confused.
"We're having a sleepover! (Y/N) feels better now! I hope you don't mind if she leaves early!" Rose said to Marinette's parents.
"Um... sure? Just don't stay up too late girls." Tom said hesitantly. He's still worried since I was looking dead a while ago.
A couple hours later:
Why am I having a sleepover? None of them are my friends! Just class mates. And one basically hate me just for being friends with Adrian!
All we can do is munching on some of my donuts and snacks I brought over. My parents/guardians were pissed at me for not telling them earlier and that I was going to having a sleepover so last minute. And worst of all my classmates keep looking through all my stuff! I'm still so surprised that they gather all the things from their home so fast and follow me back home...
"You sure like a lot of superheroes!" Said Rose holding up some of my Batman comics.
"C-careful they're from America!"
" I see you like anime..." Juleka pointed at my posters. Most of them are a bunch of anime guys wearing black leather and really muscular.
" I never heard of this romance book before!" Mylène what's holding one of my... r-rated book with the cover of a muscular man wearing a black tank top, tight blue jeans, holding a woman barely wearing any clothing in his arms.
"DON'T READ THAT!" I snatched the book away from Mylène hands. She got scared and quietly said sorry before sitting on my bed at the very end.
"Hmm..~ I'm starting to see a pattern here.~" Alya giggled.
"What pattern?" I went to the corner of my room to get my stool and drag it to my bookshelf and putting the R-rated book on very top. I was reading that before I went to the bakery and forgot to put it away.
"Black leather tight clothing.~ is that your taste in men?~" I almost fell off my stool.
"SO WHAT?!" I looked at her frustrated as I hopped on my stool safely and returning it back to its original place.
"Whoa!" She puts her hands up in surrender.
"I'm not judging."
I went to my window and open it and taking deep breaths. It's getting close to night time and I hope Chat doesn't come over today because usually he visit at this time. I look over my small balcony to the roof and back down. Nothing. I decide to leave my window slightly cracked to let some cool air come in.
"I like men in leather so what?" I said annoyed and crossing my arms at Alya.
"Please tell me more what else do you like in a guy!" She said excitedly and all the girls are looking at me. I walk over to my Manga collection so I don't have look at their faces.
"Why?"
"Just a little friendly girl talk. It's not bad to talk about guys it's actually pretty fun!" Rose said. Everybody nodded agreeing with her. I'm even surprise that Marinette looks interested too. I heard a little creaking noise but I don't know where that is coming from... maybe outside but that doesn't matter.
"You promise not to tell anybody else and this is all between us..."
"We promise! Cross our heart and Hope to die!" They all together.
I bite my bottom lip in embarrassment. I kind of wanna have a girl talk about boys. But I'm not sure with them I'm always so hesitant because I don't want them to be walking around school telling everybody what kind of type of guy I like.
" I'm holding you all to that promise if you break it you're all dead to me! GOT IT!"
"YES MISS!"
I took a deep breath and relax a bit. I sit down on the floor leaning against my bookshelf.
"Okay..." With those said they all suddenly crowded around me in a circle. "B-back up, please..." I'm starting to get shy and my anger is turning into embarrassment now. Is this what you call peer pressure something?
" I do have a thing for men wearing black clothing even leather..." I repeated and they all squealed at that.
"Keep going.~" Alya said.
"Hmm... a strong man but soft. Caring and sweet loving... Who cares about his friends and family over his own needs..." I blush when everybody awed. "It's kind of hard to find a man like that so that's why I turned to my comics and manga." I pulled out one of my Batman comics. "Batman especially Batman beyond a underrated gem where my first hero crushes."
"Girl... you got so much more confident lately..."
"Yeah!"
"How? Can you please tell me some tips."
"Oh that's because of Chloe."
"CHLOE?!" All of them yelled at the same time and loud crash happened outside. It looks like everybody was more focus on me than than loud noise that happened outside.
"You heard-?"
"WHAT!" "HOW?" "WHY?"
"CHLOE YOU SURE?!"
"SHE'S PURE EVIL!"
"QUIET!!"
"(Y/N) Shut up and your friends too! Or I'm cutting this sleepover short!" My parent/guardian/relative pounded on my door angrily. I looked back at the young ladies in front of me.
"Please continue what you're doing." I genuine said. I never want them in the first place and they they are talking so rude of Chloe. She's not perfect but still it's very rude to talk behind somebody's back.
"Sorry. We'll be quiet."
Darn it.
"Please continue."
"Don't talk rude things behind her back. I know she could be a little much at times but you need to get to know her to see she has more layers than you think." I kinda see a black shadow at the window but I can't see what is it perfectly.
"Chloe? Are you sure you're not confusing somebody else?" Marinette ask. I lightly glared at her I know she absolutely hates her.
"She used treats me how she treats you Marinette before but after a while we keep bumping into each other not just because I'm hanging out with Adrian. I'm not gonna go into much detail because that's our personal business but she really does want to better herself so we made a deal."
We ran each other into each other a lot at diy toy store. Chloe was wearing a overtop disguise to try to hide her identity but was easy to tell that it was her from her bossy tone she had with the cashier. She ignored me at first but again we just keep on bumping each other and she invited me to her house one day. She was accuse me of stalking her but I just tell her that I just like going to that place because I like to make plushies. I even had some of my plushies on me that day and showed her. Still really defensive but after a while she asked me to come see her again after school. I no because I have to work but I'm free on the weekend. She was slightly annoyed but agreed to it.
The next time I came she basically said to let's make a deal. She really does care for Adrian but just doesn't know how to be nice to other people. She sees me how Adrian smiles at me even though I look so boring and she wants me to teach her how to be me and in return you'll pay me anything I want. I deadpanned at that. I told her that I can't do that. She got mad and asked me why not. I just told the only one that can be me is me. She needs to be herself. With that remark she cried and said that herself is making Adrian drift farther away from her. I never saw her cry she looks genuinely sad that she might lose her childhood friend. I sit next to her and pat her back and told her how about we change up the deal a bit. That caught her attention. I told her there's some things I admire about her and that's her confidence I want her to teach me how to be confident and I will try my best to teacher how to be genuine and kinder to others even the ones you don't like. She looked at me shocked and can't believe that I said I like something about her that's not about her money or appearance. I just smiled and said that's how a real friend should be. At least to me. She tackled me in a hug saying thank you thank you over and over again. So I teach her how to be slightly more kinder and genuine while she teach me how to be confident.
Slowly our deal just kinda continue but it's different. We used to meet in secret only in her hotel but soon she starts taking me out to her favorite designer brand clothing store. She shop while we talk. Going her favorite toy store where she likes to dress her adorable bear. Getting ice cream from André. I went to get an ice cream she didn't wanna come with me so we end up sharing mine. She even went as far as taking me to a spa and letting me join her! I never thought I would love the Hot Springs so much! I kind of see her as a friend. Even though this started as a deal bargain thing... But I really do see her trying hard to change for the better but everyone was just so set on her that she's so cruel and mean.
"What deal did you made with the devil herself!" Marinette got close to my face. I'm really tempted to push her out the window.
"Oh that none of your gosh darn business is it? I just said it's personal and I'm not gonna go into detail about it with you guys." I pushed her back a bit so she's not that close to me. " I thought you guys were more interested in my type of men!"
Before Marinette said anything else Alya cover her mouth. "You're right please continue."
"Hmm... I don't know maybe muscles... charming and-..."
"You know all those things kind of sound like Chat Noir!" Rose giggles.
"Now you mention it... Every time when I talk about the ladyblog you're more interested in a certain kitty cat.~" Alya wiggles her eyebrows.
"You like Chat Noir!" Mylène squealed.
"HUH?!" I feel like my face is going to explode.
"You can't deny it! He wears black tight leather, charming, a superhero, strong, caring and muscles!"
"What muscles? To tell you the truth I thought when I first met him he was this weird furry stripper freak jumping around to picking up ladies." I scoffed.
I heard a loud pained gasp. I look at my window to see the shadow moving around before falling backwards off my small balcony. A loud crash again.
All the girls noticed the crash this time and look at my window.
"Maybe you have a raccoons." Alya said walking towards my window and closing it fully.
"That a little harsh..." Juleka says softly.
"As I was saying that's what I first thought because I was freaking out. As I get to know him-seeing him saving Paris... I see him as a wonderful hero and I could wish to be with him. Fine I admit it I do like him but he has a thing for Ladybug..." I look down sadly. I finally realized that I like him but he's only aftera woman that only likes him as his normal civilized self not both sides of him.
All the girls are quiet and looking at me with sympathy. Before they could say anything my Parent/guardian yelled that we all had to go to sleep or they get the hell out of there now.
Five months Later:
"School been killing me..." I groaned as I lean my head over the bench I am sitting on. Adrian in front of me, chuckles and hand me a water bottle. I take it happily take it, opening it and taking a big greedy gulp.
"Ah! You're a lifesaver Adrian! Do you know that?" I took another big gulp a little too fast and I started coughing.
Adrian rush to my side and start petting my back.
"Nobody gonna steal it, take your time!"
"Agh... a-again lifesaver..." It took me a while to stop coughing but eventually I did. Me Adrian stay sitting on the bench. I lean my head back and exhale loudly.
"Y-you know... um you shouldn't put your head like that..."
"Where else can I put it?"
"My shoulder..."
I almost snapped my neck.
"Be careful!"
"I gonna go!" I jumped off the bench doing a quick little stretch.
"Why?" Adrian looks a little upset at that.
"Because I need to finish your birthday present for tomorrow, birthday boy!" I poked his chest and he looks down and I flickered his nose.
Adrian grabbed his nose and looked at me with a big grin on his face.
"You remember?"
"Of course! You're turning 14 right?"
"Yeah! And you're already 14 years old?"
"Uhh yeah! It's (your birthday)! So that means I'm a year/couple months older than you!" I walk up to him and squish his cheeks.
"My wittle Adrikins growing up so fast!" I said in a little annoying baby voice. Adrian cringe at the nickname. He gently removed my hands off his face.
"Don't call me that name."
"It's funny seen your face when you hear that, Adrikins.~"
"You're sounded a lot like Chloe."
"Ridiculous utterly ridiculous! I do not sound anything like the queen!" I fake mock that I was insulted, placing a hand dramatically over my chest and gasping at Adrian.
We both looked at each other than burst out laughing. Chloe seriously have been getting better. Everybody at school still doesn't like her and doesn't wanna hang out with her but me and Adrian hangs out with her. Sabrina kind of hangs with us but was busy doing Chloe's homework. We told Chloe that she shouldn't be making her do that but at least she's doing baby steps.
Me and Adrian end up holding on each other for support. When we finally stop laughing we are in each other's arms breathing heavily. I smiled and decided to take Adrian's offer and lay my head on his shoulder. I feel Adrian stiffen but soon relax.
"She doing good so far."
"Yeah... but still needs a lot of work."
"Baby steps Adrian baby steps..."
"Speaking of baby steps I hope my dad lets me throw a party... I really wanna invite you guys." He slowly wraps his arms around my waist and slowly swinging us back-and-forth.
" I think he probably will not but maybe he'll prove me wrong." I slowly reach up with his hair and stay playing with it.
This moment feels really nice... I do need to go back home to finish his present but maybe i can wait a little longer...
"Get a room Romeo and Juliet! Juliet go back home and finish your present for Romeo you left it in the living room!" Me and Adrian jump back from each other to look who screamed at us. It was my freaking parent/relative/sibling/guardian!
A small to time skip and after the defeat of Bubbler.
"Soo did you like your present before all that craziness that happened with the Bubbler?"
Me and Adrian decide to get ice cream by ourselves. The party was over and everybody left except for me. Adrian sneaked out to hang out with me alone.
"I did thank you so much for (insert your gift idea for Adrian). I love it." Scooting a bit closer to me on the bench that we're sitting on waiting for André to give us our ice cream.
"Here your two ice cream you you two!" André appeared in front of us holding two ice cream cones. We both said thank you and took the ice cream from him.
My ice cream still looks the same but I looked he add some peach in there now.
I look over at Adrian ice cream and his colors kind of match my skin tone, eyes and my favorite color...
I looked down at my ice cream in deep though.
"Adrian..."
"Hm?"
"Do you think it's weird to develop feelings for somebody even though somebody's really awkward and shy... And that somebody is just barely learning to show their feelings a little better... they are not sure if they're doing it right but they're just going for it but is it too much if they try to you know.... love somebody..."
Was that too sudden of a question? It's just been on my mind lately... I have a crush on Adrian/Chat Noir! Adrian doesn't know I know his secret identity and I maybe he'll give me a hint that he likes me back? I don't know! I think I messed up...
"Love and feeling is normally very confusing. I know you have a hard time expressing them and feeling them but you should really go for it. There is nothing wrong with feeling loved and wanting to share that with someone who returns those feelings to you." I was speechless. And I feel Adrian wrap his arm around my shoulder.
"Go for it... maybe do it tonight or tomorrow..."
"I SAID SOMEBODY! WHY YOU-NOM!" I shove the whole ice cream in my mouth instantly regretting it since I got a brain freeze and coughing.
Adrian just laugh while he pats my back again.
Six months later:
Today is Valentine's Day and I think I'm ready... I'm gonna confess to Chat Noir that love him! I wasn't sure at first but dark Cupid really helped me! Ladybug figure out the way to undo his effect of the arrows. It was true love kiss! She kissed Chat Noir and nothing happened and it gives the kitty enough time to kick her off of him. I was there when it happened! I decided to give my luck a chance and tackled him when he was trying to reach her earrings. I pin his arms above his head and kiss his lips. His black lips went back to normal!
I let go of his wrist and my face was steaming so bad I passed out. I woke up with Chat Noir looking over me worried. Ladybug standing behind him giving me a wink at me and giving thumb up. She thanked me for the help and swing herself out there with her yo-yo. Ladybug saw it! It wasn't just in my head! I kissed him and it broke him out of dark cupid control! I gonna tell him tonight!
Chat Noir ring starts beeping and he was ready to leave but I grabbed his wrist quickly. I told him to please meet me at my rooftop tonight and I need to tell him something really important. He smiles and nods his head. I let go of his wrist and let him jump off to the rooftops to go somewhere safe to transform back to normal.
The sun is setting now. He should be here by now.
"Purrincess have you been waiting here for a while for little ol' me?" I heard a flirty voice that I get used to, say behind me. I turned around and there he is in all his hero glory. Leaning against his extendable staff and one hand swinging around his tail. That's stupid hot smirk that always makes me want to smack him off the roof top.
"Yes I have because I have something very important I need to tell you..." OK my confidence is starting to go down... that's bad!
Chat Noir stand up straight and put put his staff away and walk slowly towards me.
"What is it?"
Here goes nothing... I gather as much confidence I have left and just said it was had been on my mind for these last couple months.
"Chat.. I love you! I love you the moment I got to know you!"
I said it! Oh my.. I cover my face with my hands. I hope he returns my feelings too!
"Wow... I love you too! But I also love Ladybug..."
'W-what...' I thought. Good thing I covered my face or he would of seen my hurt face. Doesn't he remember the kiss we had or... no how can I forget usually when somebody gets... no... when they lose their control... They don't remember what happened... I should tell him that we kiss but would that be weird? But Ladybug kissed him too but it didn't work did she told him or... I try to control my breathing that it' starting to speed up a little bit...
At least he confessed that he loves me... and LaDybi-Bug... I really didn't expect this... I I knew he liked Ladybug but I thought he would at least say I love you too or I'm sorry I love ladybug but instead he say he loves both of us? She doesn't even return his feelings to him as Chat Noir only when is Adrian and he only loves her as Ladybug not as Marinette. I love both sides of him... maybe I'm overreacting?... I was never in love before and this is my first time... everything in comics, romance novels and manga are not true or real life...
"Oh... I'll wait. You decide." I turn my body away from him, putting my arms down to my side and start walking back to the door.
"Where're you going?" I could hear his footsteps approaching me.
"Bed... kitty... you should too... i'm feeling a little overwhelmed already and you know how I am when I that happened... ha..." I tried to laugh it off but I just feel hurt... maybe I'm being selfish I shouldn't get upset of this,right?
"I'll see you later tomorrow, right kitty?"
"Of course m'lady!" He ran up behind me and give me a quick hug. "Good night and sweet dreams.~" He whispered in my ear before let it go and hopping off my roof.
I wish I was your only lady...
That hurt... but he has the right to decide who he loves too...
Pov (Y/N)
Age 15:
Me and Chat are on the top of the Eiffel tower watching the fireworks happen. I forgot what celebration is today but Chat ask me earlier if we could meet up here while the fireworks were going to happen.
"(Y/N)... I needs to tell you something big." He said suddenly leaning over the railing. The fireworks light up his face very beautifully.
My heart speeding up and feels like I have butterflies in my stomach. He finally decide who he loves more?
It's been a year since it passed I confessed to him. During that time I didn't just spend my whole existence spying on him, learn his whole schedule or take pictures of him secretly like Marinette did. As much as I love spending time with the Adrian/Chat I enjoy working in the bakery with Tom and Sabine. They made my donuts a specialty item! I've been studying hard in school so I could become Oceanography. I want to travel around the sea learning about the deep wonders of life below the water! I'm not sure if I'm gonna stick with that but again I wanna do something with the ocean and I will do anything to make that dream come true! I kept myself busy so I don't feel that hurt about Chat liking me and Ladybug.
"What Chat Noir?" I look at him full of hope hopefully he will give me a response to who he truly loves.
He turns around slowly looking deeply into my eyes and said.
"I'm Adrien Agreste."
I deadpanned. I thought he noticed me when I saw him transform. His costume was much better at hidimg his identity than Ladybug who i'm 99.9% is Marinette. What the heck I'm 100% it's Marinette!
"I know." I said blankly to him.
"Huh?! How?" He looks shocked that I knew.
"Long story but even when I knew your secret identity I never told anyone else about it. Have you told Ladybug?" I walk closer to him and grab both of his hands tightly.
"No." He looked at me both of wonder and love.
"Does that mean you trust me more?" I said with happiness in my voice.
"Yes I do." Chat Noir said let it go one of my hand and resting on my cheek. I lean into his touch. Is this finally happening?
"So you choose me?" I asked softly.
"No. I still haven't decided. I still need more time." I feel like my heart just cracked a bit. I don't understand... we go on more dates... we tell each other our deepest darkest secrets and he obviously trust me more than Ladybug. Maybe I'm just impatient?... it is my first time falling in love but this is also my first time and I'm just in love with him... I'm starting to repeat myself...
"Oh-okay? I just do really love you, Adrien but your indecisive kinda hurts." I said in a small confused and slightly hurt voice.
"I'll have my answer soon, don't worry." Suddenly he transform back into Adrian. The little creature I think if I remember right it's name Plagg landed on my head. The firewood were so loud that we didn't know his ring was beeping.
" Adrian I need my- oh my god!" He freaked out when he realized he landed on my head and went behind Adrian.
"I told her Plagg. She knows my secret identity and she knew the whole time and never told anybody. We can trust her." He smiled lovingly at me. "This is Plagg my Kwami. He and my ring are the reason that I could transform in Chat Noir."
" Adrian don't tell her!"
"Hello, Plagg. Like Adrian said I knew a long time and I didn't say anything." I lean a little closer to Adrian shoulder to have a better look at Plagg but he's being a stubborn little guy and moved to the other side of the shoulder. "Nope! I don't trust you and there's nothing you can do to change my mind!" Adrian looks really annoyed Plagg.
"That too bad... That means me and Adrian are going to eat my homemade Camembert all by ourselves.~" I fake pouted and lift up my small picnic basket. I almost forgot I brought it with me. When Chat-Adrian asked me to come to the Eiffel Tower I thought we could have a quick dinner date up there as well.
"YOU MADE THIS Delicious Camembert!?!" That got him to stop hiding behind Adrian and fly inside the picnic basket I was holding. I let out a small laugh when Adrian snatched the basket away from me and opened it to yelled at Plagg.
"PLAGG THAT'S RUDE TO JUST EAT OUR FOOD LIKE THAT!"
" Adrian relax.~ Remember I knew your secret identity I thought maybe if we stayed up here too long you transform back to normal and you need to recharge so I brought cheese just in case." Adrian looked at me awed.
Plagg poked his head out of my picnic basket with a huge chunk of cheese in his tiny little hands. "I take what I just said about her not being trustworthy. She's a keeper Adrian why don't you just skip all this and marry her." Plagg said and threw the cheese up in the air and caught it in his mouth.
"Plagg!" He blush in embarrassment.
"It's true." Plagg shrugged his shoulders.
I like Plagg. I think we will get along quite nicely at least he could decide his mind not like somebody I know.
I hope he decides soon.
I'll wait but not forever Adrian remember I have dreams too.
After we spend our time on the tower he took me back home Chat. We hugged each other goodbye and I went back inside my room.
I flopped on my bed exhausted.
"Is he flipping kidding me! You need a cut your losses and hurry up buy a boat and start living in the sea!" A bubbly annoyed voice said in my breast pocket.
"Shush Jell. He's just..."
"Slow, stupid, dense idiotic or all of them above." I feel Jell squirm around in my breast pocket.
" I know you're just saying that so I could just go back to the ocean." I reach into my pocket and carefully pulled out my jellyfish Kwami. It's really hard to grab my Kwami since they are kind of see-through and slimy.
"Maybe I am or maybe it's the truth too anyway." Jell shrug their shoulders.
" I got you a fishbowl! Stop complain!"
"It's not the Ocean goddamnit!"
(Your name) (Last name) : (Y/N) (Y/L)
Hair color: (H/C)
Skin color: (S/C)
Body type: (B/T)
Hair length: (H/L)
Favorite color: (F/C)
Age: (Y/N) is a year or a couple months older than Adrian. She was already 14 when Adrian birthday was coming up when you turn 14.
(Y/N) is it socially awkward or shy girl really early on. She's been working on getting better over the years and when she hit her adult years she was much better but still sometimes act awkward and shy but not as bad when she was a teenager.
When under a lot of pressure or stress you sometimes forget how much time passed. A day could've passed and you think it's probably a couple hours.
You're shy but not as shy as Juleka. Your are are a little more confident but it's better than Mylène. You're actually not really clumsy well besides accidentally hitting somebody and messing up your words. So your clumsiness is basically nothing compared to Marinette.
You can decide who you live with in the story and who is your family.
You guys can decide why you moved to Paris that's all up to you. I'll just say that one reason that you moved to Paris is because your social skills was really bad and they were basically forcing you socialize in one of the most romantic place in Paris since you had a huge fear of romance.
Your home place you can decide.
Back home you only had about one or three friends and they were the only ones you ever talk to. But even with those friends you were still really reserved.
When you moved in. You finally felt the pain of not having friends and decide to take a step forward to make some friends of your own in a new place.
You're not really good at talking when you're uncomfortable but when you're comfortable you're nonstop talking machine and sometimes rumble random things.
When you were child you always thought romance was stupid but when people started to complement you or give you a little hint that they like you you freaked out and always responds by running away or accidentally hitting that person. You wouldn't apologize in a moment because you were to embarrass and shock but you were definitely apologize the next day or when you find them again later on.
Besides only getting physical when somebody complement/flirt with you you hardly raise your hand to anybody. Even if somebody's insulting you you do nothing. The insult do nothing to you, you were really meh compared to a compliment.
You hate embarrassing yourself even though you do a lot of embarrassing things already but you just don't notice it.
You actually have a Kwami but it's a special kind. I don't know if you like this but this idea what I came up with so I'll tell you a little bit more about your kwami in the next chapter.
When overwhelmed with so many emotions sometimes you don't think and just do and sometimes if it's so much you just go numb and everything blank.
It's sometimes really hard to express yourself. You're really reserved for many years. It's slowly took some years to show your emotion again. It's not the greatest but at least it's getting better. You never really show emotion to begin with because you were always embarrassed to embarrassed of yourself. You get too happy you get to sad stuff like that. But with help of your friends it's OK to show that. When you start to feel love you were really hesitating a little embarrassed because the person you fell in love.. you hit them with an umbrella when you first met him. This was your very first time falling in love and you just didn't know how to react when that person told you that he was also in love with somebody else. You try not to overthink it but over the years and a lot of research on your own because you don't know if this is a normal thing to do when you're in love. Your romantic feelings for Adrian starting to feel more like pain.
True you don't know how to feel or express your feelings but what Adrian is doing doesn't feel right.
You wanna hear Adrian's answer but he's been deciding for years already... you really do wanna have a future with Adrian but so far he's really indecisive.
It really hurts because you already have plans for future and you want to see if Adrian wants to be part of your of life...
Will there be a future with Adrian? We'll see.
