--ADRIEN'S P.O.V--

When she blows out her candles something changes. I look at her. "Wow. She's so beautiful." I make sure to scan her face, drinking in every feature that almost makes it look like she glows, but her eyes are what captivate me the most. It's almost like I could fall in them and drown, but I wouldn't mind. Even if I suffocate getting lost into those eyes that hold the sea itself, it would all be worth it.

What? What am I saying? Without even thinking I go over to her. "Happy birthday Marinette." "Thank you, Adrien. Are you enjoying the party?" "Yeah thanks."

What? I want to go over to her again but I stop myself. It's like I'm... Drawn to her. Oh god. I think I love Marinette.

I glance at her again. After tonight I won't be able to see her until Monday. Ah yes, my visit as Chat Noir, I can see her then. Even if she will never love me as Chat I can at least try. One last shot won't be that bad. But what about Ladybug? She never loved me anyway so why do I even bother? Honestly, deep down I always knew I could never get to her and that she would never belong to me. I cried myself to sleep after the first few rejections, managing to convince myself that the next time I will be successful. But I'm always proven wrong.

I'm done with being thrown around like some toy. I'm done with Ladybug. If she ever had a realationship with someone else why would she hide it from me? We're partners, best friends and I used to think lovers.

Why would she even lie to me? Now that I think about it she's been hiding a lot from me lately. Is it because of her "realationship" that I bet she has? My heart should be aching but instead it's my head. A small part of me longs for Ladybug's cold stare that I used to think I was able to melt. But the other side of me can't stop thinking about Marinette, her welcoming smile and warm Bluebell eyes are definitely hard to miss. And even harder to not fall for.

-- Ending of party--

I stare at Marinette with a longing feeling to just hold her. Nino and Alya notice and laugh. "Is there something wrong with Marinette's face Adrien?" Asks Alya. "N-no, her face is perfectly f-fine." I stutter. "Did you just say that Marinette's face is perfect?" She asks with a very amused smirk on her face.
"I-i ne- didn't- wh- wha? Whe- when did I say t-that?" I ask getting nervous. "You didn't have to." Says Nino with a chuckle.

They start circling me looking me up and down, preying on me like sharks. "Whats with your sudden interested in Marinette, Adrien?" Alya asks interrogating me. "Have you a little.... Crush or something?" asks Nino. More like a sudden realization of love, but close enough. "Guys, and it's Marinette's birthday, as a friend I have to be nice." I say flustered.
"So you think Marinette's just a friend?" asks Alya loosing interest. "No..." I mutter. "Oh yeah? What is she then?" asks Nino as he must have over heard. "Uh," I say panicking.

"I think she's one of my best friends!"
