Games and Secrets[ON HIATUS]

Chapter 5

 IRL

Marinette walked up to the park bench and sat, waiting for the love of her life to show up. She sat, still waiting when she felt a breeze behind her. She turned to find Adrien smirking at her, wearing a ridiculous-looking black cat-themed shirt and cat ears, alongside a black mask. She wore a Ladybug-spotted dress. She smiled at him as he came to stand next to her. He spoke up.

"And how is my princess today?"

"I'm doing great, kitty. What's with the outfit?"

She asked as she rubbed his chin with a finger, blushing beet red. He smirked annoyingly.

"I could as you the same thing. And now, to address the elephant in the room."

He jumped over the back of the bench and sat down. He blushed, removing his mask.

"So... what's this about a kiss?"

She blushed and replied.

"Here's what happened..."

<Flashback>

Adrien walked up to Marinette. They were both at Paris Comic-Con and dressed up as their characters. He smirked.

"Hey... you must be LadyBug... Chat Noir here."

He swished his tail as she smiled.

"So... you're the kitty who won't leave me alone. Can't you stop texting anyone? I need to work on my designs. By the way, do you like the dress I designed?"

She twirled in her new dress. Adrien blushed.

"I-I think i-it's beautiful... but you always look cute."

She looked shocked and turned red, part of it hidden by her mask. All of a sudden, she felt a push from behind and she toppled into Chat, accidentally kissing him in the process. He collapsed and blacked out. When he woke up, he seemed to have forgotten the kiss and so the blushing gamer decided to leave it behind, knowing she probably wouldn't ever meet him again or even see him physically ever again, But boy, was she wrong...

<End of Flashback>

"... so yeah, that's what happened. It wasn't technically a kiss, but-"

He cut her off.

"Did it count?"

"What?"

He met her gaze with his piercing green eyes.

"Did it count to you? The kiss."

She hesitated, then looked away and whispered,

"Yeah."

She looked at him and he smiled at her, the way that she'd always hoped. He put a hand on her shoulder.

" Hey. Wanna go lose to me in Hero's Secrets? Again?"

She smirked and kissed his cheek.

"No. I'll beat you again. My house. Race you!"

She giggled as she rushed away from the tomato-red boy as he whined.

"Aww! No fair, Marinette! You cheated!"

He got up and smiled, darting after the love of his life with a happy grin. It was the beginning of something new... Something... Miraculous!

  In the bushes, Alya and Nino fist-bumped. Alya shut off the phone camera. Nino spoke up.

"Wanna go join them, Als?"

"Eh, why not. I might get some footage for the blog. But we should stop by Andre's on the way."

He kissed her cheek and put an arm around her.

"That sounds perfect, Love."

They walked away, smiling as they thought of their friends and watched the Parisian sun sink close the horizon.
