Also, this is based on a wonderful fan art I've seen in IG  for a while and I quickly fell inlove with it!🙌🏻✨ hopefully you guys love it! -xox author

Marinette stood outside her balcony's terrace trailing of a few moemnts of silence and sadness. it was currently raining and alas, it's been a while that she felt guilt upon her... Chat Noir told her how he felt weeks ago... And she denied it without hesitation. It was one of the biggest and worst mistake she'd ever done in years ---- it is was a HUGE deal since she made so many.
It only was fitting though, she loved Adrien to much to ever love someone else besides him.
But Chat Noir was determined to keep her safe... Well, as Ladybug though.
It's also a shame that Lady bug gets all the credit when Marinette gets all the blames for mistakes... EVEN CHLOE LIKES LADYBUG.

She also sighed that it was dumb enough to hate herself.
Her wonderful shade of blue hair was darkened by the water... It was soaked for quite some time now. So was her clothes. She looked down on her hands thinking that maybe she should stop loving someone that she knows that she can't get.
It's settled. She thought to herself I don't love him anymore.

Just before that, Tom peeped from her trap door. He had his eyes worried out for her "Marinette sweetie?" He started "You've been out there for a long time now.... Come inside. You'll catch a cold." Mr. Cheng instructed as Marinette sighed ..
"I'll be there.... Just- give me a minute." She says softly adding a small look infront.
"You've been answering me the same thing since a while back," her father sighed "please Marinette... Your mother and I are worried."
With that statement, Marinette turned to him and nodded looking down in defeat "yes father." She says softly and walked down the trap door slowly...

Her father gestured her to sit on her computer chair.. She obeyed and sat down... An emotionless face plastered upon her face ...
"Marinette" his father rubbed his temples "I presume this is about that Adrien kid." He sighed and knelt down to see his beloved daughter better...
"Your mad aren't you?" Marinette asked slightly quieter and embarrassed as her father hovered a blanket over her shoulders.. She dashed her hands onto the ends of the blanket to make sure it wraps her body. Her father hugged her "No I'm not Marinette." He smiled as Marinette looked at him in a confused face as he shortly pulled away.
"I'm way too impressed to be mad."  He chuckled "Infact- I am VERY VERY impressed on how you handle things young lady...."

"Dad." Marinette started "I think your missing the poi-"
"No." Her dad says again caressing her cheek proudly "I meant that it takes courage to ask a guy like that... I mean I should know!" He chuckled "It wasn't easy to ask your mom out either."
That made Marinette smile as little as she could "really?" She says but still a bit of a softer tone.
Her father hummed in response "and I shouldn't complain! Your already growing up into a lady! It is right you'd fall for someone sooner or later." He says chuckling once more- and this time, Marinette stared at him in awe.
"Mari, I think Adrien just needs more time to notice how much of a jewel you are in everyone's life. I mean, if he'd ask us, we'd definitely say yes." He hugged her once more "just, don't let it affect you so much. Okay Mari?"  

Everyone's JEWEL? Huh. The only Jewel-ish thing I did in my life is being Ladybug..... But as Marinette? I may have made a few..... And that's making BIG mistakes instead of  small ones....
But it wouldn't actually matter.... My father was right here by my side, comforting me.... Ladybug has no grasp on whatever it is that's happening. But Mari does.... I do.... And I never will make any big fuzz over a boy. Not anymore.

She smiled "okay dad."

Later that night.....

"Okay Mari, how are you feeling?" Her father sat by the foot of her bed smiling ..
Mari rubbed her eyes with a yawn and checked her clock. It was 4:15am and her father seemed to be STILL awake.
She smiled weakly and sleepily to him "I'm doing good dad thanks. But is it really necessary to check up on me in this early of the morning?"
Her father sat beside her and smiled "I just wanted to know if your really okay Marinette."

"What do you mean dad? I'm fine see? I'm still in one piece and is still talking. I'm good." She smiled at him and hugged him.
Her father hugged back "your mother is asleep downstairs and I'd like to check up on you before I carry her to bed." He chuckled "you know how your mom is."
"Hard to argue with that." She giggled as she sat .

She looked passed him and saw a small book on her desk "hmm that's weird. I never knew that there was a book there." Marinette pointed.
Mr. Cheng smiled and made his way to get it. It was Marinette's surprise as her father handed it over to her "The frog prince! This was my favorite story of all time! Well, when I was a kid of course" she giggled as memories hugged her back making her father smile.

"That's not the only thing I gave it to you about." He says with a rather serious tone as he carefully grabbed it back from Mari. He held it in his hands where it seems like only yesterday Mari would come to him and tug on his shirt just to make him read the story.... That always happens every night.
He sighed at it then smiled at Marinette "back when you were a child, you'd always dreamt about being a princess.... And you'd always mention  details about your prince charming."

Marinette started to stare at the book. She was only 7 when she stopped dreaming and entered reality. "Yeah, it's been a long time then..... What do you think I thought about him back then?"
Her father chuckled "A LOT." He threw his hands up making Marinette laugh.
Mr,Cheng started talking "You always told me that your prince would be charming, handsome, and dreamy."
"Which!" Marinette interrupts "are the same things." She corrected giggling.
"Exactly." Her father smiled then giggled with her "that's why you were a little rascal back then."
Marinette took the book and smiled at it, then gazed onto her father's eyes "what do you tell me then?"

He slightly closed his eyes and sighed with satisfaction " I'd tell you that....  There's more to a prince than just looks and style. There's wayy more than that." He paused "there's intelligence and strategy, also pure and bold." He enumerated with his fingers "but mostly, whenever you find your prince, you'd know he will be willing to be there beside you no matter what." He says and exaggerated on the last statement "your partner for life"

That struck Mari by heart...... It seems like everything her dad tells her more about what being a prince is all about. It seems like everything is summed up.

Chat Noir....
