Chapter Thirty-four: Pizza

"Pizza delivery for monsieur Agreste?"

I took the pizzas and signed the reciept, leaving a nice tip.

"Thanks! Have a good night!"

"Did you just use Adrien's card for a pizza..?" Nino asked.

"Yeah. Why?"

"You're psycho. Remind me to keep my wallet out of your reach."

"Like you even have money to spend," I scoffed playfully.

We got to the living room door and I put my ear against it to eavesdrop.

"What are they doing?" Nino asked.

"Not sure. It's quiet. Think they went up to her room?"

"Nah. It's more likely they're just having an awkward silence."

I stood on my toes and looked through the peep hole (because what is it for if not peeping?), only to see Adrien holding Marinette in an impressive dip.

"Omigosh!" I whispered. "They're going to kiss!!"

"What!? Let me see!!"

Nino tried to push me out of the way.

"No way! We can't both see.. Hold up!"

"Please? Just for a sec!"

"No!!"

"A- Adrien.."

"Marinette..."

I felt my skin tingle where he was holding me. I felt his thumb moving in nervous circles on my waist. And, most importantly, I felt my heart beating out of my chest.
I just knew he could hear it.. I felt like the world could hear it.

"You.. Are you.. Maybe..?"

"Am I what?" He asked, softly.

His fingers toyed with mine on the hand he was still holding.

'Are you Chat Noir?' I can't ask him that! Even if he is, asking him to reveal himself and not telling him who I really am is just unfair.. And I'm not ready to tell him that!

"Are you.. Um.. Eighteen this year..?"

Great job. You managed to sound even more like an idiot than you actually are.

Adrien looked surprised, slowly pulling me out of my arched position.

"Um, yeah, actually.. Why do you ask so suddenly?"

"Oh, just for um, reference.."

I need mental help.

"Oh my god, you two are LAME!" Alya suddenly burst through the door, a white box in one hand, Nino in the other.

"Alya!" I gasped. "Were you eavesdropping?!"

"Yes." She said, completely shameless. "But I brought pizza!"

"Forgiven." I said, equally shameless. "Would you like some pizza, Adrien?"

"Sure," he laughed, shaking his head.

"I'd love some~"

I felt a wave of déjà vu as he smiled at Alya, taking a slice.

Oh god.. He's totally Chat Noir.
But what if he isn't? What if I'm just being crazy?  Maybe this is all just a fever dream. I'm going to wake up, and I'll be in class with a huge red circle on my cheek and drool in my textbook.

"Marinette, you okay?"

I froze as Alya caught me pinching me own arm.

"Um.. Fine?"

I chuckled shyly as everyone laughed at my odd behavior.

Nope, not dreaming. I'm just crazy.
