Trust Takes Moments to Break, But Time to Create

36-Felix

"So, let me get this straight. You two have been dating for how long now?!" Marinette looks at her, bewildered. I'm certain my facial expression is identical to her own. 

"After all we told you about my former classmates and them crashing our graduation, that's what you pick up on?!" Allegra, Allan, and Claude all chuckle, smirking at each other before looking back at the pair of us. I feel a headache approaching from the amount of irritation and annoyance in result of this situation. What are they up to? "What are you three on about now? Your expressions are concerning." 

"Oh, we heard about the graduation. But we also heard about you two planning on moving in together and dating." I sigh, pinching my nose in annoyance. No matter how grateful I am for their friendship, these three can be such thick numbskulls at times. "What do you want?" 

"Nothing really Felix, we figured out how this came to be anyway." Me and Marinette both pale, glancing at one another with the same expression of fear hidden within our eyes. Could they know our identities as Ladybug and Cat Noir? There is no way, surely? But if they did...

"W-Wha-at could y-you m-mean by that? Hehe..." Her panicked state, the stuttering making a rare appearance. I gulp, attempting to return to the stoic expression I presume under pressure. There is not a possible situation that gave our identities away to them, I am certain of it. How could they know? Did they see us transforming? Did my growling cause them to question our place in all of this madness? What went down that could possible lead them into figuring out the truth? All three of the idiotic wombats themselves are sending us smirks that could rival mine as Cat Noir. 

"Come on you two oblivious gits! The sexual tension has been unmatched since Marinette came here! You would have to use a knife to cut it between you two! Honestly, I was expecting nieces and nephews before the end of graduation, maybe even this week!" My face heats up instantly, Marinette's expression a shade of red I didn't know existed. 

"ALLEGRA!!!! ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR DAMN MIND!!!!" The three problems in progress all burst out laughing, Claude rolling on the floor clutching his stomach. Allan is doubled over, Allegra in the same position, the laughter turning hysterical. I grasp Marinette's hand within my own, interlacing our fingers to distract myself from the embarrassment. Thank goodness their suspicions are not led towards our alter egos, but still. "I am appalled at the place your minds went when pondering upon our relationship you three. My standards have definitely lowered in this regard." 

"I agree. Come on guys, stop laughing! Claude, get up from the floor! We seriously need help here!" Begrudgingly, the three dorks calm themselves, Claude rising from his fetal position on the floor. Allegra smiles while placing a hand on Marinette's shoulder. 

"Sorry guys, that was meant to be a prank. But honestly? I'm still not surprised. Felix has been nicer ever since you arrived and seemed to be smitten with you for a long time now." My cheeks heat up, causing Allan and Claude to snicker as I turn away from the bluebell gaze of My Lady. 

"Now, what do you need our help with?"
