Chapter 18: Act Normal

Y/N's POV

After finding out Chat Noir's true identity, I've been in his bathroom for 30 minutes straight. Unable to act normally. How am I supposed to act in front of him now? Duusu chuckled at me. I sighed, stressed. I was sitting on the edge of the bathtub, my hands covering my face as butterflies were still fluttering inside my stomach. Which I don't understand, by the way. I found out that Adrien Agreste, my ex crush, was Chat Noir, my superhero boyfriend. I'm supposed to be shocked, which I am but... the feeling of happiness and romantic excitement is bigger than shock. I'm so glad that it's him and not someone else. Does that mean that I didn't really move on from Adrien? And if I didn't, if Chat Noir wasn't Adrien, does that make me a bad person? I sighed again. I went inside the empty bathtub and sat down, curling up into a ball.

"Y/N? Are you okay?" Adrien asked as he knocked on the bathroom door.

"Yeah! It's just er... I'm lactose intolerant and I think I ate something with lactose." I lied, damn. I don't know! I don't even know what lactose intolerant is, damn it. What do I do? My heart's beating so loud and fast.

"Just relax, Y/N. Act normal, you may know his secret identity but he doesn't know yours." Duusu said almost slapping my cheek. She hugged my nose and kissed it before giggling. "You guys already kissed." she teased and my cheeks heat up even more which made her giggle again. "Now go out there and continue your playdate." Duusu finished. I sighed, well atleast he's not a relative.

I walked out of the tub before flushing the toilet and walking up to the sink, washing my hands and drying it with a towel before walking out of the bathroom. Still nervous.

"Sorry, your bathroom might stink a little." I said, embarrassment in my voice. Adrien laughed, now the resemblance I see is extremely hard to deny. He really is Chat Noir. Marinette's Adrien is my Chat Noir... I sighed.

"Are you okay? You seem worried?" Adrien asked. "It's fine if the toilet stinks! I'll just let some fresh air in." he added but I shook my head with a smile. I sat down his bed and so did he.

"I'm fine, it's just that..." I started. My eyes went to his and I saw his green orbs sparkle as he sat in front of me with anticipation but shook my head again. "Nevermind. How are you?" I asked him and he smiled.

"I'm good! I had a really good day." he answered with a wide genuine smile. His aura was so energetic and happy, I've never seen him this happy. I wonder if it's because of Paonne.

"Really? Why is that? A girl?" I teased him and he chuckled. His voice was so god damn attractive  that my heart flipped. That was just a chuckle, calm down, heart.

"Damn, you're really good at reading people." Adrien said, a smile on his face. His answer made me smile.

"Okay, what's the tea?" I asked him like how Alya would. I'd love to know what he thinks about me, you know?

"Well, you already know it's a girl." Adrien started, "But she's not just a girl to me. A wonderful woman to be exact. She brings a smile to a very gloomy day, her cheeky and perky vibe. She's just a ball of sunshine, you know? Now that I think of it, she reminds me of you. Well, she's less flirty." he added, a teasey statement in the end. I giggled at him, though that sentence made me want to scream in so much romantic excitement. "She's just straight up amazing, and whenever she wears her blue outfit? God, I fall deeper in love. She's my world now, Y/N. I can't resist her charm." Adrien finished, a sentimental smile plastered across his face. A wide smile appeared on my face as my cheeks flushed red but I tried hard to cover it.

"You must really like her." I said, I smiled at him. He's talking about me? About Paonne? He loves Paonne? Butterflies fluttered from my stomach to my heart. Adrien smiled at me, a big genuine smile, enough to make my knees wobble.
