Chapter 4: Thank God

Chat Noir's POV

I jumped out of the dark alley way that I transformed in and leapt all the way to Marinette's house. It took a while but wasn't to long. All the way there all I could think of was, 'I can't wait to see her face.' Don't get me wrong, I know I literally just saw her, but I really just couldn't wait to see the expression on her face when she sees me. Will she rejoice? Will she yell? Does she not want me? That last question weighed on my heart the most.

'Does she even want me?'

As I arrived at Marinette's house, I was hesitant. 'Was this a bad idea?' I found my self panicking. 'Will she think I'm a stalker? What do I say?' I was so panicked, and then, I saw her, I looked through her window and saw her with full concentration working on a dress. I guess she was practicing her sewing. But all I could think about was how cute she was. 'Had she always been this cute? If so why am I only noticing now? Is this because we are soulmates?' And suddenly the panic was back.

There I was, standing on my soulmates balcony, working up the courage to knock on the trap door. I had never been this nervous before. Finally after countless minutes of struggling, I forced myself to. I heard some shuffling on the other side and suddenly the door opened.

"Chat Noir? What are you doing here?" She said obviously nervous.

"I just came to check up on my princess, that's all." I said trying to calm my racing heart. Did she always have those cute freckles across the bridge of her nose?

"...at Noir? Chat Noir?"

"Huh?" I had zoned out, what had she asked?

"I asked you if you wanted to come in, it's so cold outside."

It was if she could read my mind.

"Oh, uh, sure"

As I stepped in I realized that there was fabric all over the place. Wow, I had no idea that this is what it takes to make a dress.

"Please excuse the mess, I'm working on a dress and can't seem to find the fabric I bought for it at the moment." She said with a slight blush across her face, she was obviously trying to hide it though.

"Anyways, why did you come Chat? I don't want any lame excuses." She said with a totally serious face.

I could tell in her eyes that she was still embarrassed. Probably about her love mark. It was so very obvious that she had been hiding hers the whole time I was there. She had her hand under her ear almost the whole time I had been there. Her hair was still down from when I talked to her earlier. Damn, it was so pretty. Why doesn't she leave it down more often? I got lost in thought and almost forgot to answer.

"Well, I recently got my love mark, and, it seams (pun intended 😜) that it is a thimble." I just had to throw a pun in there, to make it a little more interesting.

As soon as I said love mark she visibly tensed up. For a moment I was offended. She didn't laugh at my a-mew-zing pun. Then I realized, she didn't say a word. Oof, was I right? Did she not like me?

Marinette's POV

"Well, I recently got my love mark, and, it seams that it is a thimble."

At that I tensed up, totally failing to keep it under wraps. There was an awkward silence. Then he asked.

"Does the princess mind if I see hers?" He said leaning forward to move my hair. It took me a moment to realize what was happening, then I remembered I can't show him. He didn't know when my birthday was right?! Ask far as he can tell I am still 16, because there is no way in hell that I am ready to show him yet.

"AACCCKK"

That was all I managed to scream before I ducked and ran across my room. I was so embarrassed. I buried my face in my hands, frantically trying to hide the bright red blush that flooded my face. I had to come up with and excuse for running away like that.

"Ummm.... I'm not 17 yet?" I said with the most unconvincing face ever. Somehow I made it sound like a question. Wow I've lied about everything to keep my identity as ladybug, and now I'm blowing it trying to lie about my age.

"Princess, here's the thing, I know your 17, I saw the party your friends threw in the park." He said starting to walk closer.

Damn, this is not good. My next excuse was made out of shear panic.

"Ummm... I don't have one." I had managed to move up from question to statement.

"Well then, if you don't have one, you shouldn't have a problem with me looking under your ears." He said, backing me up to the wall. All I could do is gulp and close my eyes as he slowly looked under my right ear, then moved to my left. It felt like a lifetime before he reached my left ear, and that's when I heard a sigh of relief.

"Thank god." He sighed

What. The. Hell. What the hell type of reaction is that?! I thought he was in love with ladybug! 'Maybe he's just glad it isn't someone like Chloé?' Ok ok. I have to get my thoughts in order. First I think he's in love with ladybug, so naturally I think he'll be disappointed it's Marinette. Next he sighs and says thank god, what the hell does that mean? Is he not in love with ladybug? I mean I know that I'm ladybug but like, he is soulmates with Marinette. I'm honestly so confused.

"What the hell type of reaction is that?" I said after a very awkward silence. This is gonna get even more weird.

No the girl isn't dead. She was for a while but she's back. Sorry it took so long for me to update. I got really entrenched in some other books on here. So much so that I didn't update for like 2 weeks. I'll try to update once a week, but don't be surprised when I undoubtedly miss a couple. Especially during the holidays, and January.

Anyways I had this idea that I thought would be so cute for a miraculous ladybug crossover.

What do you guys think about Pride and Prejudice?

I know it's pretty old but I think that the setting and everything would be soooo cute with Adrienette!!!
If you've never watched it or read it, watch the one with Colin Firth. It's so much better than the other one! I've watched it way to many times. Anyway this is the longest chapter to date with 1012 words.
If you catch any mistakes please tell me, I will go back and fix them. Thank you guys!
I have deep appreciation for you. 😍
