Let's Play Cat and Mouse (Chat Noir x Reader)

3. Stormy Weather Pt 1

You, Manon, Alya and Marinette all hid behind a tree.

"Why are we stalking Adrien?" you asked.

"Wha-? We're not, er, stalking him!" Marinette stuttered.

"Right, and why is he posing for that photographer?"

"Because he is a model," Alya said, "who Marinette has a crush on."

"Alya!"

"Don't worry," you said, "your secret is safe with me."

"Yes, there it is," the male photographer complimented. You watch as Adrien then sat down on the edge of the water fountain. "Very good!" You saw a big man stand next to the photographer with a circular white screen with a black rim.

Whoa, you thought, he looks like a gorilla, no joke. Small head, big body- not being mean or anything!

"Okay," Marinette said, "we'll get closer to him, like nothing, the 'if we're actually here, it's totally by chance' type of deal."

"And then?" Alya asked.

"Then..." Marinette moved out of her hiding spot, "I invite him to take a drink, like, a juice, right after his shooting!" Marinette then spun around and clasped her hands together. "And then we'll get married! We'll live in a super beautiful house! We'll have a kid! No, three (Louis, Emma and Hugo)!" She held up three fingers and then brought her hands to both her cheeks. "And a dog! Or...cat. No, two cats! A hamster, I love hamsters!" Marinette hopped onto her left leg, clasped her hands together and rubbed them against her right cheek. You and Alya looked at each other.

That's a big crush she has on him, you thought.

"Hey," Alya said as she crossed her arms, "if it doesn't bother you too much, we'll start be getting near him." Marinette stopped and stood on both feet with her hands by her sides. "As for the hamster, we'll see about that later." With a sheepish smile, Marinette rubbed the back of her neck with her left hand and while moving her right foot around in circles.

Adrien was now having his left elbow resting on his left knee and he leaned on his right arm. "Ma," the photographer said, "great, go! I want to feel the sun setting in your eyes!" The photographer changed into several positions to take the photos. Marinette started to walk, but it failed. She stuck her chest and arms out. You, Alya and Manon followed her.

"Don't forget," Marinette said, "okay? As if nothing has happened..."

"Uh-huh," you smiled.

"Yeah," Alya said, "well, if we were invisible, it'd be the same." Marinette's eyes widen and she jumped, so now she was facing towards Adrien.

"Wait!" she said, "let's go by again, and-" Marinette started to push you all back. She could only a couple of steps before Adrien turned around. Marinette stopped and again, she smiled sheepishly and rubbed the back of her neck. Adrien smiled and waved to Marinette, but had to stop because of an annoyed photographer. Adrien turned around and the photographer smiled.

"Did you see that?!" Marinette squealed as she nudged Alya with her right elbow, "he waved at me!" She smiled and started to wave back. Alya crossed had her arms crossed and she rolled her eyes.

"That's crazy," Alya said sarcastically, "yeah, I saw it. It's not like we're in the same class."

"Yeah," you said. You and Alya saw that she saw still waving and smiling. Alya moved her hand down and crossed her arms again. You sighed as Marinette continued to smile.

"Bravo!" the photographer complimented, "you are awesome! And now, give me the same smile you give your mama when she gives you spaghetti." He moved into another several positions to take more pictures. You, Marinette and Alya continued to watch. "Beun!" Marinette's jaw dropped and you noticed. "And now, oh no, the mama, she dropped the spaghetti!" Alya smiled and closed her jaw with the top of her right hand. "You're surprised!" Marinette's jaw dropped again and you giggled. "I want the surprise! And now the anger!" Alya shook her head at Marinette. "You're very angry!"
