I call dibs on your heart [Miraculous Ladybug]

Chapter 5: The misunderstanding

Before entering to the class room, Marinette fixed her new scarf to cover up the hickey that Chat had left in her neck the other day. Blushing from the sudden memory, she took many breaths before entering. As she looked up, she saw Alya in her chair, looking at her phone until she realized Marinette had entered the classroom. Alya had an red hoodie with black dots, which only made Marinette laugh. As she sat, Alya pouted.

"What are you laughing at girl?" Alya turned her red face towards Marinette while frowning. "It better not be because of my hoodie."

Marinette took out her coat as she laughed. "Me? I would never."

Looking at the sweater more carefully, she noticed it said something. Reading it out loud, she couldn't help to laugh more. "If lost, return to cat? HAHAHA Is that a couple's hoo-" Alya covered Marinette's mouth as she saw Nino standing in front of the door together with Adrien, as if they were speaking. Marinette's laughter increased as she noticed Nino's black hoodie with a green paw which said 'If lost return to bug'.

"SHHHH It was a present, Shut up." She whispered to Marinette as she let go of her, uncovering her mouth.

Bitting her lip to control herself, she looked at her friend who was blushing. "Okay Okay" her goofy smile made Alya roll her eyes.

Looking down, Alya noticed Marinette's new scarf. It was kinda weird for her to be wearing a scarf inside the building, specially since it had the heaters on. "What's that? I've never seen that with you before." grinning, she couldn't help but to do a goofy smile at Marinette, making the blue eyed girl blush hysterically. "It's a gift isn't it?" Alya said as she noticed Mari's reaction.

Trembling nervously and laughing, she scratched the back of her head. "T-this? Pffffff. N-no..."

Raising an eyebrow, Alya couldn't help but to give Marinette her cold look.

"Fine" Marinette sighted. "I.. I'ts from the guy I told you about." Her gaze lowered, but before Alya could speak, Mari looked at her again seriously. "But please, I don't want to talk about it. I-I'm still sorting my feelings out."

Exchanging looks, Alya nodded. "Alright... But I'm here for you." She smiled at Marinette warmly, making her calm down and smile too.

'Why couldn't Marinette tell her the truth?'

Something was fishy...

While waiting quietly for class to start, Alya and Marinette both kept looking at Nino and Adrien for a while. The boys kept talking about something down there for quite a bit. It seemed weird that they hadn't moved from the same spot for some minutes now. Usually, they quickly sit down and socialize with the girls first.

"What's up with those two." Alya asked to herself as she raised an eyebrow, looking at Nino pulling Adrien towards their sits, but failing.

~~~POV CHANGE

Meanwhile, Adrien's body shaked tremendously, leaving him immobile in front of the door.

"Nope, I can't do it." Adrien's cheeks turned red as he tried not to look at Marinette who was obviously looking his way.

Nino pulled Adrien's arm trying to help his poor friend. "What the hell do you mean you can't do it? What's wrong with you bro?"

"I do-don't know, I can't move. I..I..." he gulped as Nino turned around to see Alya and Marinette waving at them. Marinette's warm smile immediately made Adrien blush even more.

Nino raised an eyebrow as he noticed Adrien's reaction from their waving. "Wait a minute... Dudeeee." he laughed. "Are you nervous because of Marinette?"
