----------------------------------------------

Nath's POV

'Firefly'? I think to myself. Really Nathanael? That's the best you could come up with? I ask myself, blushing in the process. I can't believe I just kissed her like that! I didn't mean to do that. A part of me just wanted to kiss her again. I head home, a sweaty and blushing mess. I detransform on my bed. Garner flies out of my pin, grabbing the basket of strawberries on my desk.

"Wow. Smooth." Garner chews the strawberries and eats in loudly. I just stare at my ceiling, with a blank face. I sigh.

"You ok kid?" Garner lands on my stomach.

"YeAH." I cover my mouth, realizing that my voice cracked. Puberty. I groan and flip over, burying my face into my cloud soft pillow. After that, me and Garner fall asleep.

Time Skip

My alarm clock on my phone blares in my room. Causing me to groggily get up. I go to my bathroom. My hair is messy and all over the place, and there's a little bit of drool on one side of my mouth. After I fix myself up, I see Garner on my bed, waiting to fly into my jacket. After I eat breakfast, I wave to my mom goodbye, and grab my backpack to head to school.

Time Skip

I wait in our first period class together, alone. Weirdly, the class starts and (Y/N) is still not here. She's not usually late. I hope we're still friends, after the kiss we shared. I wish I could tell her I was Renard Rouge. I touch my lips again, remembering the tingling sensation I felt with her. Then, I see her, she sneaks into the classroom without the teacher noticing. She put her hair up in a messy morning bun, and wore a light blue sweater and grey sweatpants. She runs up to the back of the classroom where we sit. We lock eyes with each other, not turning away for a second.

"Hey Nath." She breaks her gaze on me, blushing before she even spoke.

"Look, about yesterday I'm sorry I left after we...you know..." She trails off.

"Don't be. You have nothing to be sorry about. You were just fulfilling your promise with Adrien. I'm sorry that I left you alone." I cross my arms, neither of us caring if someone was listening in on our conversation.

She sat down beside me, taking her stuff out. Gah! I feel like I can never look at her the same way again! The class starts, and honestly, it's pretty boring. I just stare at (Y/N)'s delicate face, looking away if she looks at me. She dozes off every so often, being as tired as she is. I actually forgot for a millisecond that I was the one to keep her awake last night. I blush at this remembering that moment we shared. Should I ask her out? Is it too early? Does she like someone else? Does she like Adrien? I was so lost in my own thoughts, I didn't even realize the teacher was calling my name.

"Nathanael! How many times do I have to tell you? Pay attention!" Mr. Velasquez, our math teacher, yells at me. (Mr. Velasquez is another real life teacher name of mine.)

"Yes sir. I'm sorry sir." I quickly look down. I hear (Y/N) giggle slightly, making my face go red.

"You better be. There is a math quiz on Friday. And you all better study for it!" He points to the board, informing us on it.

After school, (Y/N) and I head to the park to just talk and hang out. We sit down on our usual bench, awkward as ever. I've never felt this way about anyone else before, she's the first one to make me feel this way. Hold on. There's a spring dance coming soon. Ask her to it!

"(Y-Y/N)?" My voice is shaky. She looks up at me.

"Yeah?" Her sweet voice tickles my ears.

"Will you-" I'm suddenly cut off my Cat Noir. He slides in with his staff, coming between me and (Y/N).

Cat Noir's POV

I was patrolling through the night without Ladybug, and I see (Y/N) and Nathanael on a bench in the park. I decide to come between the two, and ask (Y/N) on a date.

"Hey (Y/N)! You're looking meow-nificent today!" I let out a cat pun, hoping she'll laugh. She giggles the slightest bit, which is adorable.

"Hey kitty cat! You're such a flirt!" She playfully punches me in the shoulder, giggling some more.

"I need to ask you a question." I fidget with my tail a little.

"Actually, Nath was going to ask me something first." She gestures to Nathanael behind me.

"Alright then. Go on. Ask her." I cross my arms and sit next to her, waiting if he actually has the guts to ask her in front of a superhero. He looks quite nervous.

"N-Neverm-mind..." Nathanael looks down while I smirk.

"(Y/N), would you paw-lease go out with me sometime?" I grab her hand romantically, making her blush.

"I'm sorry Cat Noir, but I'm afraid I have to politely decline." She yanks her hand away, scooting slightly closer to Nathanael.

"Sure. Sure. That's cool. We're all cool. We're all good. Everything's good. See ya later (Y/N)!" I speak fast and sprint and jump away.

Nathanael's POV

I can't believe I didn't ask (Y/N) out, in front of one the heroes of Paris! She probably thinks I'm a loser. I suddenly feel her hand on mine.

"Nath, I know you. You were to shy to ask me in front of Cat Noir huh..." She sighs. I gaze at her for a minute and nod.

"Yeah..."

"Now, what were you gonna ask me?"

"Do you wanna...maybe...um...come with me...to the s-spring d-dance?" I look down, blush spreading to my cheeks. She has a look of excitement on her face. Then it fades.

"I'll go. But, what if you miss it?" Her tone matches her face.

"What? No! If I get to hang out with you, I wouldn't miss it for the world." Oh god Nathanael. That was a really cheesy line. I see (Y/N)'s face brighten up again.

"Great!" She hugs me tightly. After that, we go on our nightly inspirational walk, and I bring her home. When I get home, I look up at my ceiling once more, not even believing she agreed. (Pic on the top)
