Parallels in life

Late Night Confessions

"UGH!!! He doesn't even realize when he does it!" Marinette yelled from her roof top. It was more of a luxury she had, living with a hatch to the roof. It kept her in check when she needed to vent. No one could really hear her at this late hour, or at least it was late for a school night. The clock had locked on to 11pm not long before the blue haired girl had begun her ranting. Tikki, Marinette's Kwami was listening to her petty troubles. "He... He's so conceited!! Oh look at me I saved you look at how great I am." Mari posed in a male flexing stance. "But no he'll see Ladybug and start flirting. Forget the enemy, you're dreamy and cute and amazing~" She said before slouching over and letting her arms flop like limp noodles.

Cat Noir on the other hand was escaping his real life. Being Adrien wasn't the best thing on earth, he had to be this perfect boy that his father had built up. He longed for the days before his mother vanished. When his life was somewhat normal, well normal for the son of a famous fashion designer. His leather tail whipped in the wind. His mind was drifting back and forth from Ladybug to Marinette. His secret identity falling for the normal girl and Cat Noir in love with his partner. His leaping from rooftop to rooftop lead him on a path to the Bakery owned by the Dupain-cheng family, Marinette's parents. He found himself perched on that roof, watching a certain girl whine and rant about, no one else than himself.

"He's just so cocky!" She huffed, though Tikki felt Plagg's presence in Cat Noir, forcing her to hide in Marinette's coin purse. Thought that didn't alarm Marinette at all. No, she continued pacing back and forth.

"Not really." He huffed as he sat down, watching her.

"He thinks that he's all that, flexing ALL the time!" She clenched her fists and slammed her fists down to her sides.

"Well, I was trying to look cool." He admitted with a wave of his paw.

"But oh nooo I should thank HIM! Him! I told him how to do HIS Job!" She hiss as she paced on the roof.

"I'm not that self-centered am I?" Chat spoke up that time, his voice loud enough to interrupt her angry rambling. She froze as she looked up at him, that sad look on his face broke her heart, well as much as a sad puppy could.

"No... But you do have a decent ego..." She murmured as she crossed her arms over her chest. Cat Noir dropped down to stand beside her, looking out at Paris from her roof top.

"Do you think that's why Ladybug doesn't return my feelings? Cause of my ego?" His ears flopped down from their perky position and so did his head shoulders.

"I dunno..." a sigh escaped her lips." I don't think I'm in the right spot to answer that. I share her brain ya know..." She said with a nervous laugh. He cocked his head to the side

"You share her brain? Princess are you trying to say that you're my lady?" He asked with his signature Cheshire grin crossing his lips with a raised brow. Mari stared wide eyed at the realization of what she said.

"I meant it's NOT Like I share her brain!" She blurted out. "I'm just really tired. I wish I did though... It would be so cool to be a superhero." She said as her muscles relaxed and she walked over to the railing, crossing her arms over it as she leaned over the cool metal just slightly. Chats eyes studied her.

"Alright..." His expressed dropped a little, a lot. His smile shrank to a frown. "You know, I always wondered if we know each other in our civilian lives and that maybe... Just maybe I'm too blind to have found her." He said as he joined her. His gaze fell on her as she laughed.

"Oh yeah? I'm pretty sure that kinda thing would work both ways." She hung her head and let her sad smile show. She couldn't lie to herself, she wondered the same.
