Chapter 6: Deal

Marinette's POV

"Princess, I know you aren't going to tell me, but I have to ask, is he in your class?"

Who the hell could he be talking about? Who is he?

Wait.

WHY THE HELL IS HE ASKING ABOUT ADRIEN THE FUTURE FATHER OF MY UNBORN CHILDREN?!?

Calm down Marinette, he could be talking about anyone. Let's ask first. Unfortunately my heart won't stop pounding in my chest. It's so loud, like, can you hear that!? Because it SOUNDS PRETTY DAMN LOUD.

"Umm, who"

"The boy."

"What boy? Could you be anymore vague? Thanks."

"Oh Marinette quit playing dumb, the boy you like, the boy with the initials A. A.!"

"Oh" was all I managed to get out before going into full on panic mode. What am I supposed to say to this?! It's obvious that he's wondering who it is! Oh my god I'll be soooo embarrassed if he finds out I'm in love with Adrien Agreste, a fricking model that is WAY out of my league. 'It's simple Marinette, lie.' My mind is getting the better of me. How long has this pause been? To long.

"What's it to ya?"

"I just want to know if I know the guy. I know that you don't want to tell me." He gave me a sad kitten face that was almost the equivalent to puppy dog eyes. Damn, why am I such a push over?

"Fine. If you really want to know but, you'll have to work for it." A sly smirk appeared on my face after I got that idea. Oooohhhh, I can feel this new power coursing through my veins. This could get bad. The power might go to my head, and I'll go crazy and have Chat Noir do my bidding for the rest of my life!

"Wait before I agree to anything, what do you want me to do?"

"Well..." I said with an all knowing smirk on my face.

"I'll give you hints as to who it is, and you give me hints."

"Hints to what?   ...  Mari.... no. That is totally not fair, it's not like you have to give away who you are! Your just telling me the name of the guy you like!" I could see his face visibly get panicked. Scratch that, he was having a full on melt down.

Chat Noir's POV

"Why not?" She basically whined.

"Well number one, I barely know you." That was the first lie. I know her well, but I feel as if literally everyone else knows her better though.

"Number two, it could put you in danger." True. But I'm so fast and muscular that I could totally save her.

"Number three, how do I know that you'll keep your end of the deal?" I'm sure she will. She's too kind. But she doesn't know that I know her.

"Well that's just it isn't it? You don't." She said whilst sizing me up. She's so cute, even if she is almost one head shorter than me. I am so sure that she could take me out if she wanted to, even without being akumatized. If she were to swing at me, I would most definitely run.

"I guess you'll just have to trust me, I'll give you 24 hours to come up with an answer kitty. If you say yes then I fully expect a clue as to who you are, and it can be a vague as you want." She mumbled so thing after that I'm sure she didn't want me to hear but heard with my super hearing. "God knows I am."

And with that I took hold of her hand and brought it to my lips, this time she didn't pull away. I'm still trying to find out what that reminded me of though. And with that I left.

Marinette's POV

What was I doing? I have no right to ask Chat to give up his identity in return for knowing my crushes name! If he is smart he will turn it down. And next time I see him I'll tell him that I'm sorry for putting him in that position. I turned around to see a panicked Tikki.

"Marinette! Are you sure you want him to know who your in love with? He is your soulmate, it could crush him!"

"That's ridiculous Tikki, he's in love with Ladybug! He doesn't care who I like!"

"But Marinette! What happens when he finds out that you, in fact, are Ladybug!? He will be double crushed, Ladybug is you and you don't love him!"

"Tikki calm down, after I've figured out who he is, I'll slowly tell him who I am. Boom uncrushed."

"I don't think it's as simple as you think."

Adrien's POV

"Plagg what am I gonna do! I can't tell her my identity yet! I haven't even told Ladybug yet."

"So what, she's your soulmate, Ladybug isn't. Eat some cheese." Of course the flying stomach had to add the last part.

"I guess your right. But I just can't help but be kinda sad at the fact that me and Ladybug aren't soulmates. You know what Plagg? You're right. I'm gonna do it."

"Thanks, but I will be requiring more cheese."

~~~~ the next day~~~~

Chat Noir's POV

As soon as I got to her balcony I knocked on her trap door. After a little bit of shuffling she answered.

"Chat thank god, I want to sa---" I cut her off before she could say anymore.

"Deal."

"But Cha---"

"It's too late princess, I said deal." I said with a winning smirk on my face. Suddenly there was a hand in my face.

"Just shut up and listen. I'm giving you an out."

"But what if I don't want an out?" I muffled under her hand.

"Well then. I guess it is a deal."

We shook on it.

Holy crap would you look at that 2 chapters in 2 days instead of 1 chapter in like 2 months. This chapter is a bit shorter but I think it's good. I'm sure the next chapter will come faster than chapter 5 did because I'm on break now. Anyways, have a good day!

Tikki Spots On! 🐞 Plagg Claws Out!🐾
