Natural Flirt | Cat Noir/Adrien Agreste x OC | MLB

ch. quarante-deux

"This fencing gear really does suit you, Marinette." Tikki told the ravenette while she's looking through all the helmets.

"Thank you, Tikki! Let's hope wielding a saber is a lot easier than finding a helmet that fits." The girl answered as she slipped a helmet on, which turned out to be big.

Causing Marinette to make a disgruntled noise.

The red kwami couldn't help but giggle.

Soon Dynila went inside, after her friend had informed her of the event today.

But unfortunately, the model have a gymnastics class at the same time.

So she could only check the ravenette out in the morning when she arrive at school.

"Hey Mari. Hey Tikki." The brunette greeted.

"Heya!" The Tiger kwami greeted as well.

"Morning Nila. Morning Roaar." The girl greeted back and went back to taking her helmet off.

"I gotta ace these try-outs! D'Argencourt is the most prestigious fencing academy in all of Paris! I've only got this one shot to show them what I've got and get onto the team!" Marinette stated with pure determination.

"You've been reviewing the fencing rules all weekend, it's going to be great!" The ladybug kwami encouraged.

"You're right. I'm going to make quite an impression on Adrien!" The ravenette exclaimed as she slammed the helmet down on the table, upsetting the others that laid out.

Marinette and Dynila scrambles to catch them before they fall off, which the ravenette caught one on her foot.

"Ah, here we go! This one should fit perfectly!" This made the model shake her head in disbelief.

But the smile on her face was there, knowing that her friend is so enthusiastic when it comes to the blond boy.

Ignoring the voice in her head that says, 'That is why it's more painful to admit your love to Adrien.'

"Well, goodluck with that Mari... But before I go... Have you... Uh..." Dynila drifted off.

Finding it embarrassing to confront Marinette about her own love problems.

"Have you noticed something weird about Cat Noir?" She finally asked while looking away.

She's not the type to ask about a boy like this, so it was really embarrassing for her.

But she couldn't help but be confused about the hero's behavior.

"Weird? How weird?" The ravenette asked.

While Roaar and Tikki, who probably knew everything kept quiet.

They had always let humans do their thing.

They believe that it's against nature to meddle.

"Doesn't he seem like... He's avoiding me? I don't know... Maybe it's just my imagination." The brunette shrugged, because she really don't know.

The blond isn't avoiding her and yet, he's been distancing himself from Dynila.

Or it seemed like it.

Like, he'll meet her eyes and yet he won't say a word whenever he swings by the model's location when he and his partner are doing their hero work.

Or immediately saying goodbye after they fought an akumatized victim, never even trying to initiate a conversation or flirt with her like he usually do.

Maybe it's all just a coincidence, in reality, Dynila never really knew Cat Noir.

But Marinette knew it wasn't a coincidence.
