The table goes silent, I hate the silence and want to break it so badly but I don't want them to ask anymore questions. I continue to eat my lunch with my head down nonchalantly, until I look up to the big blue eyes I was trying to avoid, she shot me a concerning look. I can tell she understands that I don't want them to ask questions so she respects my wish and doesn't ask anything, I appreciate the fact that we hadn't talked almost all day and she knew I was thinking without saying anything. I get a text, slowly pulling out my phone to see her name pop up. 

"I can tell you don't want to talk about it, but when you're ready just let me know. I'm always here for you Adrien, take advantage of that, ok?" she wrote. My cheeks got red hot as I shot my head up to look at her, she had the same expression. We trade smiles, I can't believe I have a friend as great as her in my life, what would I do without Marinette Dupain-Cheng? 

"Oh look, he's not dead." Nino scuffs, I look around at the table. I hadn't realized I had finished my lunch until now and so had everyone else. Chloe was still texting and thank goodness for that, if she wasn't her attention would be on me and that's the last thing I want. 

After awhile, the bell rings. I'm the first on to get up and leave to head straight to my locker to feed Plagg. 

I get to the empty locker room and let Plagg out of my bag, giving him extra of his stinky cheese so he'll leave me alone today. "Why all the extra cheese?" Plagg's raspy voice grumbles. I just don't want to get a headache, I'm finally feeling a bit more relaxed this isn't the time to give me a headache. "Just eat your stinky cheese, I have a headache." I groan. Plagg flies in front of me, "Is this about the last few nights? I've noticed you have a lot of extra dirty socks recently after waking up in the middle of the night." Plagg smiles, my eyes instantly widen, I didn't know he knew about my late night masterb- my late night meditation...that's a better way of phrasing it. I didn't know he knew about my late night meditation. I take a deep breath, feeling a bit embarrassed that Plagg called me out like that. 

"Plagg, that's none of your business." I whisper, he just eats his cheese with a smug look on his face. "What?" I ask in a bitter tone. Plagg just continues to smile at me, I will never understand Plagg.

I hurry to class after feeding my hungry companion. I make it just on time to see Marinette early again, I kinda understand it now. I take my seat next to Nino, a few moments later the teacher start to teach and the lecture begins. I have absolutely no interest in the lecture, instead slowly starting to fall asleep. 

(Adrien's Dream...) 

I wake up in the class room, but it's empty and cold just like how my house was in my last dream. I stand up to roam the cold dead halls of my school, I walk outside to see the whole city abandoned completely so I transform and check if it feel is deserted.

To my surprise, Marinette is here. In her room but this time clothed. I knock before entering the open window. "Chat! You're here, I was just just getting ready." she smiles. I look at her confused, she looks...beautiful. Her sundress that fall right above her knees, her midnight blue hair in a bun instead of her signature pigtails, her makeup lightly done to perfection, everything about her looks gorgeous.

"Who are you getting all dolled up for?" I ask, Marinette walks up to me handing me a necklace. "Can you please? The clasp is tricky." she whispers, I put the necklace around her neck and secure it in place. She turns to me and thanks me with a smile, why does she look so beautiful? And why can't I look away? We're just friends...but I don't feel this way about my other friends like Nino, Alya, Chloe, or Kagami so why do I feel this way only towards Marinette. The question is, what even is this feeling? 

This is a dream! This is a dream! I can do what I want, "Do you have a minute?" I ask Dream Marinette, she nods and sits down on her chaise while I pull up a chair to sit in front of her. "How do you know you like someone?" I ask softly. Dream Marinette is just a fragment of my imagination, so technically I'm giving advice to myself so I don't have to keep things secret. 

Dream Marinette looked at me with a confused expression. "You have a crush on the real me but you just don't want to admit it. Adrien, I'm you subconscious. I know things you don't, like your crush on Marinette. If I know something that means you don't, see what I'm getting at?" she smiles. Why do I feel the same as real life? Nothing feels different, that's a good thing in this case but I want to feel more...different. 

"If you want to feel different just dream it, this is your mind Adrien. If you want to change something just focus." Before I could say anything I wake up back at school...

(Back to Reality....)

"Mr. Agreste! You will be awake in my class. No sleeping!" I wipe the drool from my mouth and nod. I feel so embarrassed although I kinda enjoyed my dream, Marinette well Dream Marinette pointed something out. Do I have a crush on Marinette? She said that she's my subconscious mind has a crush on her and can't accept it. What about it can't I accept? Why aren't I accepting it?

Will this dream come true? The other one's have, even the one about Chat Blanc a week ago. I wasn't Chat Blanc but I visited Marinette, she had been trying on some new clothing she had bought the day before and wanted my opinion on them. We didn't kiss though, it's like everything other than the romantic, sexual things happen.

School was awful, I couldn't help but sleep. Although, I didn't have any dreams oddly, maybe I just have to wait for the first one I had to come true first. Thank goodness, I had asked Marinette to get ice cream with me so I can have some advise about my dreams, I should see a doctor but I want her advise. I want Marinette's loving, caring, soothing, warming, beautiful voice to tell me my problems, that's the only way I'll take them.

Thinking things like this makes me really wonder, how do I feel about her? We're friends, but I established that friends don't feel things way about friends, they don't think the things I do about her or even dream the things I dream about her. 

Why am I having such a hard time with this? Just ask her out Adrien, it's not that hard. It's simple, it's not like your dreams come true and today she might give me some advise about the advise that I gave myself or rather Dream Marinette gave me. Wait, did I think that right? I think I messed up somewhere. 

"You're making that weird face again." Plagg's husky voice whisks me out of my thoughts. "Why don't you get Ladybug's opinion?" he asks bitterly. 

I roll me eyes at me ridiculous kwami. "I already got her advise, she said confess to Marinette well the girl I have feelings for. And my subconscious said the same thing and even Marinette said something similar which means I should do it. I even told myself to do it and didn't listen. Today's the day I confess to Marinette, confess that I love her!" I announced to no one.

"Uh-huh, so you do have a crush on her and not just a crush you said you love her!" Plagg snickers. I quickly turns around, remembering the words I had spoken before. "W-wait that's not what I meant! I don't love her, I mean I really do but I don't love her love her I guess." I rub the back of my neck sheepishly, I do love her a lot.

I don't wait another minute, getting ready for my date with Marinette. I all of a sudden got super nervous and excited. I'm going to confess, but what if she says no? I hadn't had a confession dream yet so maybe she will say no or even nothing. If I hadn't dreamt it yet then it doesn't happen and my dreams do seem to be coming true every time I have one. I really hope she says yes.

My driver drops me off at a flower shop just a few blocks away from Andre's Ice Cream Stand. I had asked my driver to drop me here so I can walk there myself and think about what I'd say to Marinette. What do I even say to her? "Hey Beautiful, I'd ask you to be my girlfriend but I've got such a crazy crush on you that the only way I can talk to you without foaming at the mouth is on a date to get ice cream. Pretty ridiculous." I sigh, I can hear Plagg laughing in my jacket pocket. It was pretty ridiculous but only because it's true. It's pathetic that that's actually true, now I can't talk to Marinette without her bare body racing across my mind or my lewd dreams of her. Nothing is safe anymore.
