We are just, Best friends?

Ch.10 Boy Problems

Previously: 'm not that territorial of a friend. but Marinette was also my...she was chats...she was the girl I could count on to save me on things ladybug could not. Marinette was special. she was Marinette. And Greyson would see. He would pay. he would know what he was dealing with. he would know that she's mine.

Adrien's Pov:  

I have a plan.  well I mean it's not a good one but I have a plan. even Plagg said it might actually work. 

I was going to kidnap Marinette from school and then confess my undying love for her. i- okay. when I put it like that, it sounds creepy but that's not what I meant. id be doing it as Chat Noir. so obviously nothing could go wrong. 

It was almost lunchtime. That's when my plan would take place. At lunchtime. I was currently in Math class without her. and dickwad Greyson was in fact with her. She had ELA right now. not that I know her whole schedule or anything.  That would be crazy.  uh-shes just a very good friend. 

Marinette's Pov:

I was in English, sitting next to Greyson. don't get me wrong. he seems like a great guy. but he's trying way too hard. and it's painfully obvious. my heart belongs to another. and I don't think my heart could belong to him if I tried. or even if I wanted. what is wrong with me? why can't I change? I don't want Greyson to think I don't like him. I wanna be friends. I do. but we cant. I don't want to screw it up. and if I tell him to back off then he's going to get weird like all the boys with shattered hearts. and then he's going to do that staring thing when he thinks I'm not looking and shit's going to go downhill. 

(a/n: That turned into a rant fast wtf.)

Lunch would be starting any minute. Greyson seemed content. I sat staring groggily at the board. Romeo and Juliet, it had said. Our class would be working with the drama students to create a totally unoriginal play of Romeo and Juliet. They would be holding auditions next class for any student who wants to try out. I saw Greyson look at me. He had some sort of idea in his head. and I did not like it.   

The bell rang and I packed up my stuff. everyone was already leaving and Greyson said we would catch up later. 

I walked up to my teacher and asked her if they needed any help with costumes for the play and she agreed to let me help out. 

My eyes lit up with glee. I love designing and creating stuff.

I pulled out my sketch pad as I leave the classroom. writing down any ideas that come to mind. Not paying very much attention, I hear whispers around me, although I couldn't quite hear what they were saying.  

I bump into someone in the halls while sketching and drop my notepad. "oh my gosh. I'm so sorry!" I say with my head down in embarrassment. I bend down on my knees and pick up my things. they had landed next to the person's feet. whisperings continued around us. I looked at the person's feet and thought "why tf is this loser wearing boots right now. were inside".  still, on my knees, I let my eyes rake across the person's body...oh. my. fucking. god. 

I look at the person's face and find a smirking chat looking down at me. "princess." he says. offering me a hand to stand up. I shove the hand away in frustration. "chat..." I mumble very loud and annoyed. "what the fuck are you doing here?!?" 

I stand up so I can look more intimidating which didn't quite work considering our height difference.  Chat quickly grabs me by my waist and pulls me into his. "I want to apologize," he says. Our noses almost touching. "for what?" I ask.  "for everything," he says. I giggle and say " well that doesn't really answer my question now, does it? dumbass." he put on a fake shocked face as if he had been wounded. "well frankly that hurts my feelings" I laugh at him. he is extremely stupid. I watch Chat eyeing my lips...and I was eyeing his. but we couldn't do this. not here. this puts my civilization life at risk. and I'm not throwing my whole life away for a cat. He grips my waist harder and starts leaning in but I pull away. "chat." I say seriously. he backs away from my face with some sort of familiar sadness. I look at the students around us hoping he would take a hint. he looks around at the students with their cameras out. My shocked friends. and pulls out his baton with an angry look on his face. he catapults us into the air and away from the school. I hold on for dear life as he goes over buildings and houses. He finally stops on a random rooftop. ad sets me down. walking a couple of feet away before looking at me again. 

We stood in silence for what felt like forever before chat says "why..." "hm?" I respond. "why can't we be together, why can't I like you, and why the hell can't I kiss you?!?" Chat yells in a tone I'm almost certain all of Paris heard. "chat.." "what?!" he screams. " am I not allowed to talk to you either?! Fuck, Marinette I can't keep doing this." I was getting angry now. was he seriously blaming all of this on me?!? "Chat if you had any self-respect for me you would know the risks of me and you-" "Fuck the risks!" he said. his voice breaking as he said it. I had never heard chat talk like this before.  "Chat!" I screamed. I was desperate to be heard. he stopped talking. apparently, he had never seen me like this either. "i-i don't want to die" I said breaking into tears. I don't know if he finally realized how much trouble I could be in if I dated a superhero or if he finally realized that I wanted to be with him but was scared. either way. chat grabbed onto me and hugged me tightly. I hugged him back. I never wanted to let go of this boy. this boy was perfection in my eyes.  but I didn't love him. of course not. not yet. not ever.

Chat brought me back to school for the last two hours of class. I couldn't even walk through the hallways without people whispering about me. I saw Chloe giving me the evil eye as she walked down the hallway. she did not enjoy the attention I was getting. and neither did i. 

A/N: chapters are all kinda short nowadays but I'm tired okay? anyways. enjoy.
