Captured in Time - MLB Félinette Fanfiction [DISCONTINUED]

Waters in the Crack

A minute.

Two minutes.

Seven minutes passed. Marinette groaned as she kicked her duvet off the bed. Banged her phone in her fist on the mattress.

ABC Dude still hasn't said anything since last night. He said he'll send her the location details and the text in the morning??? Where the hell was it? Was she getting stood up without actually-

Her phone chimed.

Marinette squealed.

She jumped into action, sitting on her bed with a bounce as she looked at her phone, ABC Dude's hand as the photo appeared as his chat head in the notification, and she never clicked on something so fast in her life.

Her smile grew wide and faltered in the split second she recognized the ticket the man sent her. Even more so when he sent more messages.

ABC: 'I hope it's fine that we go to this exhibit. It was pretty hard to get tickets so I bought two for myself.'
'But it was a really selfish move on my part for all those people who wanted to see and well, I don't have much friends to invite so I messaged you last night.'
'Sorry I sent it in the morning right before we go, too.'

Marinette groaned. She scrolled up to the ticket again, just to make sure her eyes weren't playing tricks on her, flopping face first on the mattress as she confirmed the ticket's name, much to her chagrin.

It was a ticket for Through The Eyes Of A Lover, and oh god, how the hell was she supposed to go through the humiliation of getting found out that ABC Dude's idolized potter was actually the controversial beloved model??? All hopes of getting together with him dissipated into thin air. But she can't just turn him down now, can she? That's even more suspicious and-

Her phone chimed some more.

Marinette groaned and got off the photo, looking more to his message.

ABC: 'Hello? Please don't leave me on seen.😭'

Marinette almost cooed at his message, ABC Dude tugging a string in her heart. He seemed straightforward, and she always did have a thing for straightforward men.

M: 'sorry omg i was doublechecking the pic'
'it's cool we cool id love to go hahahahahaha'

ABC: 'That sounds awfully skeptical.'
'You either laugh with an emoji or capital laughs, anything less is definitely sarcastic.'

Marinette giggled, rolling her eyes. Okay, she really was laughing skeptically at first, but maybe she was beginning to get acclimated to the thought of going to an exhibit with her face everywhere as long as it was with this man. And preferably no Félix in sight.

M: 'alright, one sec'
'AHJAHSKJAHJSHAJHJAHSDJHSJADHJAHJHDAJAJDH'

ABC: 'Much better. Thank you for indulging me in such whims. I find that texting makes it harder for me to know whether you are upset or not, so I go by those little rules as I've told you.'

M: 'ure kind of a dork, arent u?'
'dw about it, i'll stick by ur rules if it makes communication easier'

ABC: 'Thank you. You are kind. 😊'

She blushed. Rolled her eyes. Convinced herself that he was just being a flatterer. No flirting of any kind.

M: 'just doing my job to make the world a better place XD'

He typed something far longer than it should have taken him to type the sentence, which brought a smile to Marinette's face.

ABC: 'If I may ask, what does XD mean?'
