Love Problems: A Miraculous Ladybug Fan Fiction

Chapter 7: Cat Noir Moments

Edited! But please tell me if you spot something! I'm still starting...

Adrien's POV

"Kid, just approaches her as Cat Noir," Plagg advice.

It was night time, just hours after I saw that picture of Christoper and Marinette. It was supposed to be the time I would be sleeping, but I couldn't get this feeling of my chest.

"Why?" I asked him.

"Because why not?" he answered.

I gave him a look as if I were to say "really?"

"For fun? I mean you've got to be free without any akumatized thing on the way. And she seemed like your closest friend as Cat Noir. Of course, besides Ladybug," he said.

I thought about this thoroughly.

"You do have a point right there. But then what would we do? Besides, are you sure that you're really feeling okay? You don't seem like yourself."

"Hey! I'm not that snob!" he exclaimed.

I giggled a little after seeing Pegg's annoyed expression. "To be honest, I would still rather talk to Ladybug,"

"Kid, you see her almost every day as Cat Noir! Just go approach Marinette! You'll know what to do when you get there!"

I thought about this more. I do need some free time once in a while. And I'm really not that free being Cat Noir since I'll just be fighting akumatized people. And I do want to talk to Marinette without her knowing that I'm Adrien. But... this is a once in a lifetime experience seeing Plagg want to transform! Better not lose it!

I got up and said, "Well, it doesn't hurt if I do it once." As soon as I locked the door, I called "Plagg, claws out!" and almost immediately transformed into Cat Noir. I went outside through the window and raced to Marinette's place.

I soon spotted her in her balcony, sketching some fashion designs on her sketchbook. I landed on the railing of her balcony and exclaimed "surprise!"

"AAAHHH!!!" She screamed and stumbled. When she realized what was going on, she yelled "Cat Noir! At least come unsurprisingly!"

I giggled and said "sure."

She came near me and asked "what are you doing here anyway? There isn't any akumatized villain..."

"You know what? I'm getting kind of tired being a little flirty. Let me be the other half me. Anyways, to answer your question, my other half is actually pretty boring. I'm stuck-up in my place and pretty much do nothing. Being Cat Noir is when I go free, but it isn't really 'free' if you go out just to fight akumatized people. Can I hang out with you for a while?"

   "O-of course."

   "Yay! Hmm, why don't we..."

   I grabbed her waist. She jumped and exclaimed "what-"

   "Hold on tight," I noted her and then enlarging my baton.

   We arrived at the top of the Eiffel Tower, Marinette still in my grasp. I let her stand on her own so that she could fix herself. "You know, you could've told me silly ki... yaa... achoo! Cat Noir" she sneezed.

   "Bless you."

   She looked at Paris and I could tell she fell in love with the evening lights. "OMG! Paris looks so lovely today!" she exclaimed.

   "Yeah... as lovely as you..." I said flirtily.

   "Cat!"

   "Ehehe. I'm sorry. I'm just too used with that flirty side."

    Even though I was being a flirt there, I had a feeling that what I said was true. But... why? I mean of course she looks pretty but then there's this other pretty and that pretty is what your love looks like. And she looks that kind of pretty. Ugh, why do questions always start? I need answers now! And say... this is the right time to ask!

   "You know, I still have all eyes on Ladybug. Yet she still didn't fall for me yet. I was wondering if you have any love interests in your life? Maybe that Christoper or Luka guy perhaps?" I asked.

   "What the heck? OMG STALKER EXPOSEEEDDD!!!" exclaimed Marinette while laughing out loud.

   "Well excuse me I am not a stalker! I've heard."

   "Oh really?" She asked sarcastically.

   "Just answer my question, princess."

   She looked back at the view very deeply, as if she was lost in the moment of thought. She then sat down and said "you could say that. But at some points, I wonder if we were really meant to be. He is really kind to me, but it's just the same story all over again! I've already had enough of that 'Marinette is just a friend' and 'she's a really cool friend' and 'it's just a friendship kiss'. I mean, can't we be more? Is there any chance that I'll ever be with him? Will people even agree with it? And if I confess, what would he do?"

   I felt speechless. It looked like Marinette was really into this guy. I sat down beside her and looked at her expression. Her face was just sad, with both her hands in her cheeks. It looks like she's lost in thought, not knowing what to do, wanting to cry.

"But no, it's not Christoper and Luka. Luka is just a very supportive friend and Christoper is just a child who's lost," she said.

   "Well, why don't you confess?" I suggested. "He seemed like a pretty good guy, and I know he'll fall in love with you."

   "Are you kidding?! Do you think that I could tell him that easily?!" she exclaimed.

   "Of course not. But...who knows? He might have lied. I mean, anyone could lie! Look at me and Ladybug: even though she had not to return the feelings... yet, we still are the best of the best. And we're getting closer by the minute! So give it a try. I think you two will make a perfect couple!"

   Me knowing that Marinette likes someone else... makes my heart ache again? Why? I mean it does a little... not TOTALLY... but it still is strange. But if she really does, I would be happy for her.

   I looked at her. She looked like she was deep in thought. "Alright! It's confirmed! I will confess tomorrow after school at his place!" she said joyfully at me.

   "Congratulations then!" I said.
   She then suddenly rested her head on me. "You know... your emerald eyes remind me of him. Minus the cat part of course."

   Still shocked but warmed of her doing her action, I also leaned on her and asked "really?"

    She replied by saying "thanks for this, Cat noir. I really appreciate it."

    "Thanks to you too for the company," I said as we enjoyed the night.

o0o

    It was practically past midnight when we decided to go back to Marinette's place, calling it a day.

   "Bye, princess," I said to her flirtily, kissing her hand.

   I was totally in shock of what she did next: she actually kissed me in the cheek?! What? WHAT??!!!

   "Good night. And remember: that was an actual real friendship kiss." she laughed joyfully.

   Still, in total shock, I felt my face turning hot. I stuttered "o-of c-course," while still frozen.

   "Silly kitty."
