My Tomato Child (Nathanael X Reader)

Chapter 10

Jay: WAIT UNTIL I TELL YOU TO PLAY THE SONG BECAUSE IT WON'T MAKE SENSE RIGHT NOW.

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

Nath's POV

The Spring Dance is tonight. Since I asked (Y/N) to it, there have been several akuma attacks. Some required us to be awake for at least 24 hours! And some were a quick fix, with a simple solution. On a side note, I haven't got enough sleep lately. I got a C+ on the math quiz in Mr. Velasquez's class. Man, being a hero is harder than it seems. Right now, I'm in the shower thinking about how tonight is going to end up. Like a fairytale, or like a disaster. I get out of the shower, hoping that tonight will go as planned.

I put on my suit, tie, and pin that I left on my bed. Yeah yeah. I know what you're thinking, commenters. (#4thwallbreaksarelife) 'But this isn't prom!', 'You're not getting married!', 'It's just a dance!'. Well, it's my first date...alright! Or that's what I think it is anyway... I blush at that thought, pushing it aside.

"You better not screw this up! I'll be silently cheering you on." Garner flies from my desk, where he sleeps.

"Don't worry. I'll try not to." I slightly laugh. Garner flies into my jacket.

(Y/N)'s POV

"Ahh!! Where is it?!?!" I search for my teal floral dress that I KNOW for a fact is in my closet. I finally find it, along with my flower crown. I slip the dress on. To my surprise, it still hugs me and my curves really well. I do a little twirl in my mirror, making it spin around with grace. I had this dress for at least a year, I'm surprised I still fit it.

I don't put make up on. Spring is natural, so I should go natural as well. Though, the only thing I put on is concealer. I fix my hair just the way I like it. I look pretty damn cute. I hear a 'ding' noise come from my phone, indicating that someone texted me. I grab it. It's from my tomato child.

'Coming rn. 🍅'

Thats so cute...

"No! Nath is only a friend. Maybe..." I toss the teal flower crown on my head, matching it with my dress. Before I go outside my dad stops me for a minute.

"Boy, you're growing up so fast!" He hugs me. I sigh.

"Dad! It's not like I'm going to prom. It's just a dance." I hug him back and leave the house, taking my keys and phone with me in my small teal purse. (It's like Marinette's) as I step outside, I am greeted by... Nathanael's mom's car. The door slides open, revealing Mrs. Lox in the driver's seat and Nath in the back with a suit and tie. (Ok, let's just assume that his last name is Lox. It's like fox, and he has long locks. Hehe. Author-chan is so funny. XD) I jump in with them, closing the door in the process. I buckle my seatbelt and greet the two.

"Hi Mrs. Lox. Long time no see!" I give her a warm smile.

"Why hello (Y/N). It's a pleasure to see you again after quite some time." She returns a loving smile. Mrs. Lox is a mom you might see in a TV show. Very loving, caring, and helpful...sometimes.

"So, did you and my baby boy finally tie the knot?" She overlaps her fingers, causing Nath and me to blush altogether.

"M-Mom! We didn't 'tie' anything!" Nath's face matches his hair. I just quietly look down, slightly embarrassed.

"Okay, okay. Whatever you say honey." Mrs. Lox gives us a reassuring tone. We finally arrive at the school, to join others who are having a blast.

"Thank you Mrs. Lox." I said giving her a sweet smile for dropping us off.

"No problem sweetie. You two have fun!" She smiles before driving back home. My tomato child and I walk into the building. His pin that he has been wearing for the last week is very noticeable. It kind of looks like Renard Rouge's. Maybe he's a fan.

"My tomato child. I've been meaning to ask you, where did you get that pin? It's really awesome! It looks like the one that Renard Rouge wears!" I gesture to it, blushing at the thought of that amazing fox.

"Oh! This? I...um...am a fan of Renard! Yeah! I got a pin like his! He's pretty cool don't you think?" Nath fidgets with his fingers, also stumbling on his words. I giggle at his adorkableness.

"Yeah...Really cool..." I sigh dreamily, remembering the kiss we shared.

"I'm gonna go, get us some punch!" My tomato child runs off hastily.

"Ok."

I sit on the sidelines waiting for him to return. Then, I see Adrien walking up to me.

Nath's POV

I quickly leave (Y/N) and go to get her some punch, but Garner tugs on my jacket from the inside. I quickly head into a stall in the boys bathroom.

"What is it?" I look at Garner, who holds a worried expression on his face.

"There's an akuma attack in downtown Paris! We need to go!"

"But I can't leave (Y/N) alone..."

"Well, you could save all of PARIS and be back before she knows you're gone." My face drops and I sigh.

"Garner, white tipped tail off..." I mumble in a 'I wish I didn't have to do this' manner. Garner flies into my pin as I rush off to save Paris once again with Ladybug and Cat Noir.

(Y/N)'s POV

After Nath left, Adrien came to talk to me for a while, but then he said he has to go somewhere.

Time Skip

(This is where you should play the song :3)

Wow. When I got here, I thought I was going to have a great time. But I was completely wrong. Time passed by and Nath didn't even come back. I tried texting him, calling him, looking for him. I even asked Max to go and search the boys bathroom for me. He was nowhere to be found. I didn't want to call Mrs. Lox because I didn't want to cause a panic. And Adrien didn't come back either.

I'm so sad and disappointed. A few slow dance songs came up as well. And I was secretly hoping to dance to one of them with my tomato child tonight. But it never happened. To make things worse, during that long period of time I've been waiting, Chloe and Sabrina came up to me.

"Aww. Did Nathanael leave his 'best friend' to hang out with another girl? Or was it that he wanted to ditch you because you were so ugly and weird." Chloe laughed and pointed at me. I felt insecure. I know he would never do that to me...would he? I felt like crying. I ran away to outside, only meeting with the cold rain. And here I am now...my dress was soaked, thanks to the rain and my tears. I knew he would ditch me...just like every other guy in my life... Then, I see a dark purple butterfly flutter to my flower crown...
