The Project | Adrienette [COMPLETED]

Part 21

Marinette's POV:

"Pound it," I smiled as I fist-bumped with Chat Noir after defeating the akuma.

"Ladybug, do you have a minute?" Chat Noir asked.

"I can spare a minute, yeah. Is everything okay, Chat? I noticed you didn't flirt with me ... " I asked, a little worried.

"Yeah, yeah. I'm fine. I'm great, actually. It's just ... I really like this girl and it doesn't feel right to flirt with you when I'm trying to be with her, you know?" He bit his lip, he seemed anxious.

"Oh."

"Oh?"

"I'm happy for you, Chat. I hope she chooses you. You deserve to be happy."

"So ... we're good? I know things were a little confusing with all the kissing and whatnot." He chuckled.

"Yes, Chat Noir. We're good. Next patrol, I want all the details." I giggled as my earrings beeped, "I gotta run now. Good luck."

"Thank you, Ladybug. You'll always be m'lady though," He winked as I swung away.

I snuck back into the bathroom and peeked out the door. I casually exited the bathroom and returned to Adrien.

"Are you okay? Did you get hurt? Were you safe?" He bombarded me with questions as I approached him.

"I'm fine, I'm okay. Nothing happened to me. Are you okay though? I think I saw you run out the door," I slapped his head softly.

"Ouch," He chuckled softly, "I wanted to see if I could help. I'm fine though."

I hugged him, catching him off guard. After a few seconds of hesitation, he wrapped his arms around me, hugging me tightly, "No more heroics. I don't want my boyfriend to die."

"Boyfriend? So, that's a yes?"

"Yes. I'll go out with you, Adrien."

He kissed the top of my head and held me closer, "Just, there's one thing I need to tell you."
