The Lucky and the Unlucky

Chapter 4

I swear this story is going somewhere I promise. I was also thinking of writing an aspik(with hair)xMultimouse fic, what do you guys think?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chat Noir had left an hour later, when Mrs Cheng had almost walked in on her daughter and a superhero playing video games. Thankfully Chat had managed to make his way to the balcony before her mother had noticed him.

His feet dangled on the edge of l'Arc de Triomphe, he had decided to do a quick patrol before heading home, it's not like anyone would notice him gone.

He knew that visiting Marinette it wasn't exactly safe, Ladybug would probably kill him if she found out, but there was something special about her when she was with his alter ego. They just seemed to clicked

The reason he had started to visit her dated back to when Ladybug hadn't shown up at their planned dinner. After his heartbreak, he had decided to head over to Marinette's house. He needed a friend, and he felt as if she was the best choice.

He had asked himself many times why he had chosen Marinette. Nino would probably had welcomed him happily and he could have talked more freely, he didn't feel all too comfortable talking about another girl with his princess. But something had drawn him to her, he just couldn't explain what.

When they had started talking he was surprised to see her not stuttering, who wouldn't be nervous with the hero of Paris hanging around your balcony? It almost felt as if she was more nervous around Adrien than Chat.

Slowly but surely, any moment he had some free time he would pass by Marinette's, obviously only at night. If Hawkmoth were to see him enter her house she could risk becoming a target.

They would hang out for hours, often staying up much later than what was recommended on a school night. But it was always worth it, anything was worth spending time with her.

He sighed, it was getting late and he had a photo shoot early in the morning, he had to get some sleep.

He extended his baton and hopped from one rooftop to another, making his way back to the Agreste Mansion.

"Claws in" whispered the boy as he slipped in his room through the window.

He took out a piece of his Kwami's stinky cheese from his stash drawer and threw it to the little creature, who gulped it down in less than a second.

As Adrien was getting ready for bed, Plagg floated towards him "Hey Kid, I'm no Tikki but can I ask you something?". Adrien nodded, not being able to answer as he was brushing his teeth.

"Do you have a crush on this Marinette girl?" the boy spat out toothpaste "W-what?". Plagg sighed, this kid was so blind to his own emotions, he didn't even think it was possible "Adrien she is the only person you visit as Chat Noir, without talking about the risks you are taking by going to her, why do you think, out of all your other friends, she is the only one you want to see so often?".

"Are you saying I should visit Alya and Nino too?" Plagg face palmed himself. "Adrien I'm saying that you might not see her as just a friend, but as something more" at this point he sounded exasperated, this love square of theirs was killing him just by witnessing it.

" You mean a best friend?" Plagg took a deep breath "I am this close to Cataclysm you" he muttered under his breath.

"You think i have romantic feelings for her?" asked Adrien, finally grasping the concept. "Well yes" but the boy shook his head "But there is Ladybug" he said, almost automatically ."You might have a crush on both?" suggest the Kwami.

Adrien finished washing up and made his way to bed "I don't know Plagg" he said quietly.

The room was dark, there were no windows, only a chair to the side where a guard slept. Marinette was chained to the wall, her knees on the floor and her hair in her face. She could feel her wrists ache from being attached to the concrete.

Suddenly the door in front of Marinette was blown off it's hinges and landed on the floor to the side.

A wave of light followed, and Marinette could make out a tall figure. The guard suddenly woke up and attempted to attack the figure, but was quickly knocked to the side.

The person proceeded to come closer to Marinette and unlock her, her eyes had not adapted to the light so she still couldn't make out his features.

But as soon as he freed her and brought her outside she finally recognized him. It was Adrien, he was carrying her bridal style and bringing her to safety.

She leaned closer to him "Adrien" she whispered and kissed him. He reciprocated the kiss but as their lips separated he whispered back "I'm not Adrien, I'm Chat Noir". And sure enough as she looked at him again there was no sign of Adrien, like he had never been there, but only Chat.

She shrugged and kissed him again.

"WHAT" Marinette shot up in her bed, panting and sweating. Tikki immediately flew up to her to see what was going on. Marinette was still processing what she had dreamt, more specifically her reaction.

After a couple of minutes of Tikki panicking because she wasn't answering she finally regained control of herself. She only whispered a sentence.

"Oh no Tikki, no no no"
