Masquerade Dance- Ladynoir Fanfic

Marinette

I quickly spirit up the stairs to my room, my heart still racing.

I had so many things on my mind, I needed to call Alya.

But I couldn't. If I told her Chat asked me to a dance, it would practically give away my secret identity.

I lean against my wall, letting out a deep sigh.

I really didn't want to go. I loved Adrien, not Chat. But I might not even have a chance with Adrien. He's too perfect. Too amazing. I'm nothing compared to him.

I massage my temples, trying to get my thoughts straight.

Okay Marinette. You need to go. Chat Noir is counting on you. He must really like you. I mean.. He must really like.. Ladybug..

That's when it hit me. Like a hard rock just dropped in my stomach.

Chat Noir doesn't love Marinette.. He loves Ladybug. Ladybug is different than Marinette. Marinette is scared. Ladybug is courageous.

I take a deep breath, scrolling through all of the pictures of Adrien I have on my phone.

He was so amazing. I couldn't even begin to describe him. And I didn't just admire him for his looks. He was so smart, and so sweet.

His personality was something that was like the after taste of candy. You forgot about it, but when you tasted it again, it made you want more.

I let out a quiet sigh, as if trying to hint to Tikki that I was upset.

I stare at a picture of him for awhile, before I feel Tikki sit on my shoulder.

"'Marinette.. I know you didn't expect this. I know deep down, you wish Adrien would have been the one to ask you to the dance. But sometimes.. Things don't work the you plan. Maybe you really do like Chat Noir. You just haven't given him the chance."

I put my phone on my desk, shrugging.

"Okay, Tikki. I'll go to this dance. Maybe I really haven't been giving Chat Noir a chance."
