Crush

"So you're the Alya I've been hearing about, huh?" Cat Noir nodded, pretending not to know who Alya was. "Marinette's best friend."

Alya nodded. "Yes, yes. But I want to know, why are you here?"

"What?" Cat Noir shrugged. "I can't visit my Princess anymore?"

Marinette looked down and away so they would see her red blushing face. How dare Cat Noir sat that in front of Alya.

"Marinette, you should have told me you and Cat Noir had a thing going on," Alya scolded.

It was then that Cat Noir came back to his senses. He was trying to make Marinette like Adrien, but it looked like he had just made her like Cat Noir more. He just really couldn't help it.

"I... Not really," Marinette gulped.

Alya smirked. "It's okay. I'll leave you two to do whatever you need to do." She giggled and exited the room.

"What was that for?!" Marinette playfully punched his shoulders. "Why so you have to say that in front of her?!"

Cat Noir chuckled. "Your friend was asking questions. It would be rude to leave them unanswered!"

Marinette rolled her eyes. "So why are you here?"

Cat Noir looked from the floor up to her. I wonder if it will work if I just mention Adrien. Maybe try to find out how she feels about Adrien now.

"Em... I came here to tell you something," Cat Noir sat down. "It's about this guy, Adrien."

Marinette looked surprised but took a seat next to him anyway. "What about Adrien?"

"He asked if you would like to go out with him," Cat Noir exclaimed before he could shut his mouth.

"What? As a date?"

Cat Noir nodded. He honestly didn't know what he was doing anymore, but he was going to go for it anyway.

"Do you want me to go with him?"

Cat noir frowned. "I mean, u wouldn't mind-"

"Seriously?!" Marinette suddenly had a look of hurt in her eyes. She turned away before he could look further. "Oh... " I actually thought you liked me...

"Are you okay?"

"No, I'm fine." If he doesn't like me, then I guess I can just forget about him. Adrien seem to like me, and now that I thought about it, I haven't lost my feelings for him yet...

"Marinette, are you angry?"

"No!" She let out. "Why would you say that?! I'm not mad!"

"Okay... So will you be going?"

I can't believe it! He's still asking me about it? "Yeah, I'll go out with Adrien!" Will that make him even the slightest jealous.

"That's great..."

Marinette glanced at the floor. How could he say that, and with a smile as well?! It was like he actually wanted her to go with Adrien!

"I'll go tell Adrien of your answer," Cat Noir informed, standing up. Marinette didn't say a thing. "Are you sure you're okay? You don't have to go with Adrien-"

"Yeah, I'm fine, so what is it to you?!" Marinette snapped, surprising the both of them. "I'll go on a date with him, after all I like him. It's not that I like you! I like Adrien. Why are you asking me if I'm okay?!"

Cat Noir stood frozen in his place for a while, before he left the room.

Marinette fell to her bed. How could I have thought he liked me...?

"Hey Mari, you good?"

Marinette looked up, and for once, after her little fight with Chat, she smiled, feeling better. "Yeah."

Adrien nodded at her. "Are you ready to go?"

"Yeah, totally!" Marinette grinned as she followed him. How could I have moved on from Adrien? He's such a great guy, of course I still got feelings for him.

Yeah, this date is gonna go great...
