"What!? You don't love him anymore?" Chat noir exclaimed
"No! I still do.. it's just.. not as strong." She protested. He was shocked and didn't understand. What did he do to make her lose feelings?
"What's the reason for that princess?" He questioned. He wanted a solid answer so he could stop or start doing it.

Chat noirs POV

I don't know why but I feel.. warm when I'm around her. And it makes me mad when she said she lost feelings for me, an anger washed over me. I needed to change whatever was making her not like me as much.

3rd person

"It was you.. I mean kinda," chats eyes widened. He seemed shocked.
"Me..?" He answered.
"You know what. Never mind." She said trying to get off her bed. Chat grabbed her arm, she looked back with a shocked look.
"Marinette." He said. It was strange. He had such a serious tone, she'd never heard that side of him before.

He pulled her in for a hug. She smelt the scent of him. The camembert and rose smell washed over him. She didn't resist, embracing him.
"Thank you. This is making me so confused chat. But I know I like Adrien." She said softly. "You might need to go kitty."
"But whyyyy!" He moaned.
"I'm not gonna detransform in hours. I mean not if I use my special power,"
She got up and started to type on her computer.
"Your pick, kitty," She handed the mouse to chat and he picked the Barbie movie.
"You wanna watch this?" She started laughing like crazy.
"What? It's a good movie!" He protested, pouting his lips. They locked eyes and just stared into one another's. The blue and green mixed as they explored eachothers eyes.
"Sorry, let's start it." Chat said.

Chat noirs POV

We sat and watched the film but after the first 30 minutes I just couldn't keep my eyes on the movie. My eyes kept trailing to marinette. I know! It sounds weird but maybe alya was talking about this feeling, the feeling of warmth and security. Maybe I do like marinette, Im just not sure yet..

We finished the movie and I remembered about my father and how he would react if he saw I was gone.
"Princess I'm sorry but I got to go." I said still annoyed I was thinking about my father's feeling and not mine.
"Kitty, it doesn't matter. Come anytime." She put her hands on my shoulders and kissed me on the cheek. I could feel my face turn a bright red colour. I jumped onto her balcony and waved bye and made it to my room.

"Plagg, claws in."

"Adrien, your father wants to speak to you in his office." Nathalie informed me. I knew what he wanted to talk about. He knew I was gone for the whole day. While we were walking there, I couldn't stop rubbing my face. Exactly where marinette kissed me. When I hugged her, the faint smell of macaroons and lavender flooded my smell. It was so nice I wanted to smell it forever. She really is miraculous.

I made it to my father's room and as soon as Nathalie opened the door he started rambling on about where I was and how disappointed he is. I really don't care what he thinks anymore, he never ever wants to do anything with me. It should be obvious why I'm leaving. It just annoyed me so much that I blurted out something
"Well maybe I wouldn't have left if you were a better father. The last time I saw you as my father was when-" I realised what I was going to say and put my hand to my mouth. He gave me the most horrendous look a person could make.
"When mom was alive." I finished as I pushed past Nathalie. I started to run to my room.

"Adrien..?" Plagg kept on trying to see if I was alright but I wasn't co-operative.
"Adrien listen, you can't just pack and leave!? Where will you go!?" Plagg protested but I resisted and kept on packing. I grabbed my school bag and left.
"Adrien! Where are you going!?" Nathalie grabbed my arm.
"Somewhere better than this mad house." I pulled her off and continued.
"Adrien, here. If your leaving have this at least." Nathalie handed an umbrella. I hesitantly grabbed it and hugged her. She was trustworthy, I really liked Nathalie.

The door slammed behind me, I stood there rethinking this decision but then I heard Nathalie and my father fighting.
"Gabriel. He is your son!? You can't keep him locked up and then never see him!" She shouted.
"You have NO right to comment on my parenting!? He is my son and I can do what I want!" I had to walk away before I would hear something I didn't want to. I didn't know where I would go. Maybe there is one place...

I arrived at the bakery and walked inside. A bell chimed as Sabine and Tom asked how I was.
"Really bad. I just left home, I don't know how long for though." I looked at them, tears were flooding my eyes.
"Oh Adrien! Come upstairs!" They helped my up the stairs and knocked on a door.

Marinettes POV

I heard a knock at the door, I got up and opened the door.
"ADRIEN!? what happened!?" I shouted putting my arms around him.
"I'll get some hot chocolate for you two," my mom said as she walks down the stairs. I take him to my bed and get some blankets.
"Adrien, what happened," I wanted to know. I needed to know. I needed to support him.

"I ran away from home."
