Miraculous Marichat

Chapter 15

3rd person POV

Marinette was on her balcony, looking up at the stars. She found it peaceful, she usually looked at the stars when Chat Noir didn't show up, she tried not to think about it too much, she knew he had his reasons. Her mind wandered over to the events of today. She really enjoyed hanging out with Adrien, and it surprised her that she wasn't as excited as she thought she was. And she realized something while looking up at the stars, she didn't really have a crush on Adrien anymore, she was much more calm around him, she didn't stutter as much anymore or at all, she didn't blush anytime he was near her. It almost scared her when she thought about it, then a thought crossed her mind. 'When did this happen? Who do I like now that made me lose feelings for Adrien?' Her face turned to one of horror, she didn't want to believe it, then she thought back to the conversation her and Adrien had before parting ways, while talking about Chat, she smiled, and blushed, a lot! Marinette then sat down on her beach chair on top of her balcony, she thought long and hard for quite a few hours while thinking on her lounge chair. She soon came to a conclusion, one she would never have expected, she thought she would always love Adrien, and in a way she would, he would always have a special place in her heart, but she did not love him like that anymore. She never thought she would say this, but it was true, and she could deny it no longer, "I'm in love with Chat Noir." She said aloud, to no one in particular, just aloud on top of her balcony. She rushed through her trapdoor that leaded to her bedroom, she was ready to head to bed hours before, so as soon as she dropped through her trapdoor, she laid her face right on her pillows, specifically her body pillow shaped like a cat, and screamed into it, she screamed for a good 5 minutes before she ran out of air and her lungs hurt. She sat up in her bed, her pigtails came undone from her quick movements of jumping from her balcony to the pillow. She caught her breath and sat there, staring off into nowhere, Tikki flew up to Marinette's cheek, worried about her holder. "Marinette, are you okay? You were up on your balcony for a few hours and just randomly jumped down and screamed into your pillow." Marinette turned to Tikki, her hair messed up, her face slightly red (she was blushing, not because she screamed so hard her face turned red, no, she's blushing) "I think I'm okay Tikki, I just realized something I never expected to happen." The kwami looked confused, and turned her head slightly. "What did you realize?" A soft smile grew on Marinette's lips, Marinette looked at her kwami and answered. "I don't love Adrien anymore Tikki, I figured out that I love someone else, someone I know more of, and someone who has been and always will be there for me." Tikki almost screamed, she didn't believe what she was hearing. Marinette, the girl who had pictures of Adrien plastered all over her room, knew his whole schedule, and had a present for him for every occasion, didn't love him anymore! "Since when!? And who do you love now!?" Marinette continued, she knew Tikki had questions, and she intended to answer them. "I think I fell out of love with Adrien around last week?" Marinette said it as more of a question than an answer, but continued anyways. "I don't really know when I fell out of love with him, I wasn't really keeping track. And the person I love now might surprise you a little bit, it's my best friend-" Tikki quickly cut her off. "You have a crush on Alya now!? I knew you loved her, but I didn't know you loved her like that." Marinette's face almost turned to one of confusion, with a hint of surprise. "What? No! Sure I love Alya, as my best friend," Marinette emphasized 'best friend' and continued. "I mean Chat Noir Tikki, that's who I love, man it feels even weirded saying out loud, I know I said it on my balcony but now that I'm calmer it feels kinda weird." She said thinking about it once more, she shook her head, she wouldn't think about it more than she already has. Marinette turned to Tikki, who had a smug look on her face. She was very happy about this conclusion Marinette had finally come to. Marinette was a little bit scared by the look on Tikki's face, but went to bed anyway. Both her and Tikki were very happy.
