Chapter 5

Third-Person POV:

After about an hour or two, Adrien's phone rang. He told Marinette that he had to leave for his Chinese lessons.

"Sorry Marinette, to leave you with the project unfinished..." Adrien apologized.

"Oh, Adrien! No worries! It's not a big deal at all! Besides, there's only the final touches left!" Marinette exclaimed.

Adrien smiled at her before leaving the bakery.

After working on the project for nearly two hours, Marinette decided that she should get some fresh air at her balcony whilst working on her project. So, she carried all of her materials and the project with her up to her room.

She opened the trapdoor and carefully climbed up to her balcony, trying not to drop her items. Once she had reached the balcony, she felt a gush of wind hit her face. She breathed in the fresh air and smiled pleasantly. Then, she placed her stuff on a table and sat on a chair.

After working on the final touches and checking for any errors for about an hour, Marinette had finally completed her project. She did a last round of checking the project and highlighting some key points about Chat Blanc. She sat up straight and stretched her arms and heaved a sigh of relief.

"I'm finally done!" She beamed.

Little did she know, a certain cat was watching her.

"Do my eyes deceive me, or are you writing about me?" Chat Blanc questioned.

Marinette stiffened and slowly turned around. When her blue eyes met his cold and icy glare, she froze and gasped. She quickly grabbed her notebook and held it tightly.

"CHAT BLANC?!?" She screamed in disbelief.

"Shhh! Quiet down. People will hear you!" He shouted-whispered.

"W-What are you doing here?! And! I was not writing about you!" Marinette said, immediately flushing.

"I know you were. I was on the roof. I saw it." He claimed.

"WHAT?! A-ARE YOU SPYING ON ME?! WHAT ARE YOU?! A PERVERT?!" Marinette blurted out.

Chat Blanc scoffs and says, "I'm not a pervert! And I was just merely passing by when I saw you."

"Don't you have villain-ish stuff to do?" Marinette queried.

Chat Blanc shot her an unamused look.

"Fine! I was writing about you! I had a project to do for school school, okay? So, I'm not weird -"

Marinette was cut off by Chat Blanc, pushing her against the wall and placing his arm next to her head. Marinette instantly blushed and turned beet-red. Her grip on her notebook tightened as her face was a few centimetres away from his.

"Aren't you... afraid of me?" Chat Blanc asked.

"Should I be?" Marinette replied.

"Yes." He said without hesitation.

Then, Marinette used her notebook to knock it on Chat Blanc's nose. Chat Blanc was taken aback and stumbled a few steps behind.

"Hey!" Chat Blanc seethed.

Marinette giggles.

"You think that's funny?" He hissed while summoning his cataclysm. The same blue glowing orb formed in his open palm.

"Hahah... Yeah?" Marinette began.

Chat Blanc stayed silent and clenched his fist before blushing a deep red.

Marinette continues to giggle.

Chat Blanc scoffs and replies, "Pshh. Whatever, I think I can allow you to laugh."

"Um, do you want to see my project and check whether it's good?" She hesitated.

"I guess I could see how many mistakes you made..." He says.

"Thanks!" Marinette said with a wide grin.

"Hmm... 'The cool yet mysterious villain of Paris, Chat Blanc' what a title you chose. Well... I didn't know you liked me." Chat Blanc teased.

"Wha- I don't like you! I just said cool because of your powers - Not that you're not, I mean -"

Chat Blanc cuts her off once again by patting her head and placing the notebook back on the table.

"Sure, whatever you say..." He says.

Anways, I've got to go." He continues while walking towards the railings, getting ready to take off.

"Chat Blanc!"

"If you ever need someone to talk to, you know where to find me!" She cried out.

"I'll see how I can manage." He says.

Then he leapt into the night. Marinette smiled and walked over to the table where the notebook lay.

She held the notebook close to her chest and whispered, "You're not as bad as I thought..."

Like I said in the earlier chapters, this story is based on a comic. :D But I will add some changes here and there sometimes.
