Persona

A Secret of Secret Involvement

Marinette

I hung up the phone, tossing it carelessly onto my bed.

Tikki lifted up her head and opened her sleepy eyes from the sudden movement and floated towards me at my desk.

She landed on my shoulder, her little head snuggling up against my shirt.

"Who was that?" she asked, her voice rolled and sleepy.

"Adrien, we talked about the whole 'Alya Situation'," I responded, pushing away from my desk and swirling around to look outside my window.

The sky was illuminated with stars that night, making everything seem calmer then it actually was.

"She's still upset huh?" she said as I walked to my bed and sat down with a sigh.

I took a deep breath and didn't respond, for my mind was in a different world.

A world where Chat Noir would hurry up and come knocking on my window.

I probably stared at that window for a minute straight before Tikki spoke again.

"Are you alright?"

I blinked and jumped a little, "I guess so; I'm just anxious."

"I get that, but I just want you to know that when he explains everything tonight, it wasn't your fault," she said, flying back over to her bed.

Before I could question her anymore, a tapping sound hit my window.

I jumped up and sprinted to answer, only disappointed to see nothing there.

I turned around and checked the time.

"1:15...where is he?" I whispered to myself, sitting against my bed.

My mind begun to wander again as I thought of the previous night.

Chat seemed so different that night.

He seemed calm and patient, which was weird for him.

But it was so strange feeling, like I was talking to an old friend.

Sure, this wasn't the first time Chat had visited me in the middle of the night, but those times were for other reasons such as Ladybug.

But this time, the focus wasn't about how to make her fall for him, it was about a deep dark secret.

A secret that secretly involved me.

I laid my head against the frame of my bed, closing my eyes and taking deep breaths.

I was nervous to see him again, which never happened.

My heart was going way too fast and my hands felt cold.

So I decided to stand up again and walk around my room while I thought.

I walked past everything, and eventually found myself sitting at my desk again.

I started to doodle a random lines on a sheet, and just made some weird silhouette of someone standing in the rain.

An hour had passed, and I had given up hope that he was going to come.

So, I went over to my bed and laid down, telling myself that I was just resting my eyes.

But as soon as my head hit my pillow, a tapping came to my window.

My eyes burst open, and I ran to see Chat smiling outside my window.

I lifted it up and let him inside, scowling at him while he looked at me funny.

"It's almost 2:30, where were you Chat?" I asked, rubbing my eyes and trying to wake up.

He laughed, "I didn't know I had to be here at a specific time, should I have brought some wine and a romantic movie?"

Although I was mad, I couldn't help but smile.

Now I could finally figure out what was going on.
