Marinette had never been so confused, she loved Adrien- and Chat Noir knew Ladybug loved Adrien too. But the silly cat kept going to her balcony, like he expected her to be up every night until eleven or twelve at night. He had even started to wake her up from her sleep to talk to her.
At one point he'd come in to find her fawning over an new Adrien Agreste magazine, to which she calmly stated that she was only looking for fashion designing inspiration- that had nothing to do with the models. Luckily, he had been more interested in knowing if the magazine had been borrowed from her ''best friend'' Ladybug.
But as annoying as he was, her late night conversations with him...really helped her know him better. And made her feel even worse that Ladybug couldn't love the boy back.
Whereas with Adrien, he knew he loved Ladybug- but Marinette being friends with her was a way for her to get to be more natural around him. Even if she didn't know it was him underneath the mask. He got to know what it would be like having Marinette as a real friend.
One night he asked her how she felt about Adrien, but she just smiled dreamily and said she couldn't tell a secret.
He really wanted to find out, so he followed her sometimes- but never found any hints. This night, he was going to straight up ask her.
Jumping through her window, he landed just like a cat right in the middle of her room. He didn't see or hear her at all, so he decided to just wait for her. Sitting on her desk, he started playing with the mouse.
Causing the computer screen to come to life.
And making him fall backwards in shock.
That was a lot of....Adrien.
And a lot of pink hearts.
And that was right when the bedroom door opened, to reveal a certain black-haired girl.
"GAH- CHAT?!" She skidded to a halt, before noticing the screen.
"Marinette? Did you say 'cat'?" Sabine's voice called out to her daughter.
"Uh- yeah mom! I...found it earlier, and um, just let it out!" She called back hastily.
"Oh, okay sweetie."
Marinette let out a relieved breath, before turning to Chat Noir with a angry expression,"First you're always following me, and now you're snooping through my stuff?" she demanded.
He raised his hands in surrender,"I- er, well... when you put it that way..."
She glared at him,"It doesn't matter anyways," she sighed, giving up,"It's just a huge crush...he could probably never return..."
"I think we both know a lot about those," Chat looked away sadly, The only difference is I can't return feelings to Marinette...whereas Ladybug returns them to Adrien, he thought.
"Yeah...As long as he's happy though....that's all I want really," She gave a small smile as she looked at the window.
"Really?" He asked surprised,"Then...do you love him? That's exactly how I feel about her..."
The way he said ''her'' made marinette want to blush, he looked so much like a love-sick puppy...it was ironic that he was dressed like a cat.
"Yeah, I do," She giggled,"Guess we're love-sick fools, huh?"
"Yeah..." He swallowed thickly, but she didn't seem to notice. He suddenly felt so bad that he couldn't return those feelings to her.
I'll have to make it up to her... he thought to himself on his way home.
