Hidden Angel

Chapter 28

"I know you have feelings for Damian!" Chloe accused, "Don't you dare try to object!"

While Marinette stuttered, "I d-don't! He's just a good friend!" Marinette argued. (A/N: Canon Adrien Agreste 2.0)

Chloe rubbed her temple in frustration, "Well, what did I expect of you..." She sighed.

"Tell me the truth. I know you at least held some sort of feelings. I'm sure it isn't only as friends" Chloe crossed her arms while Marinette stuttered and fidgety.

"W-well..." She trailed off. "I saw you both at the library" Chloe started.

Marinette eyes widened and she flushed in embarrassment, "W-what? You saw our interaction?!"

"Yes, the whole of it" Chloe uttered as her face flushed redder, while Chloe watched amused at her reaction. "You were all blushing and awkward. The air was full of love" Chloe stated.

"W-what do you mean? I-I was just embarrassed" Marinette stuttered. "We just shared some embarrassing moments"

"You really expect that starring at each other for a whole few minutes and your face flushed like a tomato is called embarrassed?" Chloe pointed out while Marinette blushed in embarrassment.

After a few minutes, Chloe then sighed, "You know I meant good right? I don't want to force you or anything but you know that I want you to be happy"

Marinette nodded, "I know you meant good Chlo..."

"You were happier with him. You smiled a lot and was beaming. He makes you happy and I just want you to keep being happy."

Chloe did make a lot of good points....

It's not as if she doesn't fully know her feelings, she just didn't want to believe it. She did realized how her heart beats faster at the library, it was odd, it's the first time for it to happen. She realized it after the library event and now that Chloe pointed it out it became clearer. Now that she does think about it, she does act differently when it comes with Damian. She gets flustered easily and was often happy around him.

Even since the beggining she was definitely more open to him and was also attracted to him. She opened up to him quite fast. She trusts him, even until she revealed she was Ladybug. She never told anyone except her Parisian friends.

She enjoys his company. Like Chloe said, she was happier and smiled a lot around him. Even if he could be somehow rude and blunt, she didn't care, at least he is honest. He treats her well and she's happy with him.

He makes her flustered and embarrassed. He made her heart beat race, her heart tingling with warmth and butterflies in her stomach. It felt strange but of the good way. She never felt those before in her whole lifetime...

He is definitely a special person for her,  she cared for him a lot and....

I guess I like him.

I like Damian.

She admits she does, but that doesn't mean there is

She just never experienced 'love'.

She was an angel, she was always focused at her tasks rather than her personal feelings, she doesn't have time for relationships.

She had wondered how it felt since she saw quite a lot of humans fell in love and live happily with each other but...

"Maybe..I'm still not sure but I suppose I might like him" Marinette finally gave in and Chloe squealed, "Yes, I knew it!"

"Does he even like me?" Marinette questioned skeptical. "What?! Are you blind or something? He likes you back! It's very obvious!" Chloe exclaimed, looking at her in disbelief.
