'Simply The Best' (Miraculous Ladybug One-Shots)

~Unmasked (Nathanial x Reader)~

 Requested by 'No You' on Quotev;

(Y/N) , a dandere (shy person), has a crush on the tomato-haired boy himself. But she's also an (F/C) big-horned sheep-themed superhero named Ramex with her kawami Arax. What happens when after a mission with Ladybug and Chat Noir, she ends up being in front of her crush?

'Come on (Y/N), it's NOT going to be that bad.' (Y/N) had to tell herself as she was trying to get her ready for school, "But how can even be so sure?' she added, holding her head in anxiousness, 'It's going to be SO embarrassing!'

The thing was, ever since her first day of school, (Y/N) (L/N) grew to have a huge crush on Nathaniel Kurtzberg, the tomato-haired artist of Miss Bustier's class. So far, they would have nice small talk with each other (since they sat next to each other).

Still, being the shy little bean she was, she didn't bother to mention her crush towards him. But of course, it only proved to be a challenge. And she was willing to confess her feelings to him too. Today, at that.

(Y/N) then took in a breath, before smiling back to herself confidently, "Alight now. Let's go and conquer the day."

~*~*~*~*~*~

As always, (Y/N) found herself glimpsing over at Nathaniel as he drew in his notebook. But, what exactly was he drawing? She tried to get a closer look, and what she saw made her eyes widen; it was of him and Marinette.

'Wait, what?' she thought, staring at her feet, the image still glued to her mind, 'He likes Marinette? Since when?' From there, she could stare blankly at her notes until the bell rang for lunchtime.

"Hey (Y/N), you okay?" she then stopped at the sound of his voice, slowly turning around to see Nathaniel.

"Umm, yeah. What's up?" she asked him, hoping that she wasn't blushing in front of him.

"Can I ask you something?" he asked, with (Y/N) only nodding quickly in reply without a second thought, "Um...s-sure." she then stuttered quietly, making him chuckle a bit.

"Great, because this IS important to me," he says, walking with her towards the library to chat in private. This was important to him? And he was going to tell me?, (Y/N) thought to herself, but what could it be about?

She then saw Nathaniel fidgeting with his hands in his lap nervously. Why was he so nervous all of a sudden?

"Nath?" she asked her before he then asked her, "I've been thinking about asking Marinette out." At that comment, a small part of (Y/N)'s heart began to crack, "But I'm not sure of what to do. So, I was hoping if you could talk to her and see what she likes."

"Oh, well..." What was she supposed to say right now? THis had to be a dream, "Yeah, I'll go see her right now in fact."

'Wow, I was able to talk to him without looking like a Marinette.' (Y/N) thought to herself, knowing how she usually acts, especially around Adrien. Was this a sigh of sorts? Was it because of Marinette?

"Thanks (Y/N), I appreciate that." he says before walking out, leaving (Y/N) to her thoughts and mental preparation, 'What did I just talk myself into?'

"Oh, hey (Y/N)." Marinette's voice then chirped up, making the (H/C) girl momentarily freeze up, before turning to face the bluenette girl as she sat across from her with what looked like her sketchbook, "Mind if I sit here?"

"Um, n-no. It's fine. G-go ahead." (Y/N) stuttered again, making her mentally facepalm. Great, now was she supposed to be doing this?

"Say, Marinette, is it okay if I asked you a few things?" (Y/N) began, grabbing pen and paper to take notes so then she could maybe text Nathaniel later. Wait, text him? Did she even have his number? Double facepalm.
