Shining Rebirth {Vanitas x Reader} Vol.5

Chapter 12: Perfection

You are in your balcony listening to your sisters rants about her problems to you. Always conflicted between Cat Noir or Adrien. It never ends. She is just overthinking the possibilities.

Good thing you don't have that kinda problem.

"This is all just so ridiculous! I mean, I can say anything to Cat Noir, tell him anything that's on my mind, but with Adrien, I— I— I— GAH! See? That's the problem! "I, I, I, I—" I can't even put two words together." She continues to rant and then her  phone rings.  "Kagami! Oh no, she did everything she could to bring Adrien and me together, she's gonna ask "How's everything going, Marinette?" and I'm gonna stammer back, "Oh, yeah, oh, so Adrien's got feelings for me and he knows I've got feelings for him!" and then she'll say, "Great! Did you guys go all kissy-kissy?", and I'll say, "No! I can't even talk to him! Because I'm pathetic!" and she'll find me ridiculous! Utterly ridiculous!" She notices her phone ringing again.

"I can't pick up and talk to her, Alya! I'll do it once I've talked to Adrien! Ah! But I'll never talk to Adrien!" Marinette begins to roll on the floor comically, circling around you. " Does that mean I'll never call her back? Or only when I'm really, really old? By then she won't even remember me! (Y/n), I'm the worst friend ever! Am I the worst friend ever?"

"Yes." You nonchalantly shrugged.

Alya shushes you as she handles this matter. "Girl, girl, girl, you're almost there. Adrien knows you love him and you know he loves you. The only thing you need to do is—"

"To be a little less pathetic?" Marinette pouts.

"No, don't be afraid to accept help from your friends instead of running away from them." Alya advised.

"And don't do stupid things." You added.

Marinette sports a worried face and gulps.

At François Dupont's art room, Marc and Nathaniel are using you and Vanitas as models for their comics and also trying to get the two of you closer to each other.

"Remember, look into each other's eyes." Marc instructs.

You were nervous around everyone in front of Vanitas. You were fine being just you and Vanitas, but this is....totally embarrassing. Perhaps Vanitas proposing you in fake marriage was too much to blurt out around the world. You bet you know who has leaked the news when Yuki almost married Vanitas.

"In our plan— uh, I mean, our story, the characters are very, very close." Nathaniel measures your distance with his pencil as Vanitas pulls your waist closer meeting chest to chest. "That's it, that's it."

"Now they need to hold hands." Marc urged.

You glances at your classmates, who are all holding their thumbs up. Upon noticing you, they all return to their activities.

Vanitas intertwine his hands with yours. Everyone in the room looks at you two with excitement. When you were about to grab the other one, unnoticeable Yuki  decided to flick a needle to your wrist and you felt the sting and knocks over a vase. The others look disappointed.

"Ow!" You hissed. "Sorry."

Vanitas took back your wrist ans pull out the needle. Someone is ruining his moment.

At Philippe's ice rink, The gang are huddled together around Philippe. Nathaniel shows Philippe a drawing of you and Vanitas dressed up as figure skaters and kissing.

"I was born for this role!" he was determine.

Philippe, You and Vanitas' friends look into the rink where Marinette and Adrien are struggling to stand still. Well you are struggle to keep your legs straight. "Come on, kids. We need feeling. We need poetry. That's it, you're almost there! Let yourself... FLY!"
