Miraculous Ladybug Season 4 (On Hiatus)

Chapter 5

Adrien POV:

Adrien watched in confusion as Marinette left, hand in hand with Luka.

"I didn't know they were dating" he asked Kagami and Nino in curiosity.

"Yeah dude me neither" Nino replied, "I thought she liked y-" Though before Nino could finish his sentence Alya, kicked Nino hard from underneath the table.

"Oww what was that for babe..."

Alya gave Nino a meaningful glare warning him that he better shut up or else.

"Why does it matter if they're dating or not?" Kagami interjected, "I personally don't care for gossiping about relationships, it's against my upbringing!" she huffed.

Adrien did not share the same views as his girlfriend, and wanted to know what Nino had almost said. What about Marinette? He couldn't help wondering.

"What was that you said Nino?" He asked.

"I err.." Nino gulped as he glanced at his girlfriend. "Didn't say anything dude, I have no idea what you're talking about dude please don't hurt me Alya" he said in a rush.

"No you said something about Marinette liking someone else" Adrien said the hopelessly blind boys curiosity peaked.

"It doesn't matter!" said Kagami, who was growing increasingly frustrated at the current topic.

"Right darling?" Kagami said expectantly, "since you have a girlfriend and all why worry yourself with someone like Marientte."

"Uhhh" Adrien hesistaed

"Right???" Kagami said growing impatient with Adrien's behaviour. "Right boo??"

Adrien felt a lump in his throat, he had no idea where the sudden pet names had come from, but it painfully reminded him of bugabo- LADYBUG

"Right..." Kagami said raising an eyebrow waiting for him to address her with a pet name. They were dating now he should feel comfortable calling her dear or darling or...boo. He had no problem calling Ladybug, m'lady or bugaboo or....stop it Adrien!

But something in him found it difficult to get the words out. As if there was a painful lump stuck in his throat and it wasn't somehow right.

"Err a right... um." Adrien struggled to think of a name...

"Darling!" Adrien yelled. The words felt forgein and forced...not at all how it felt when he used to tease his lady. He had to stop comparing Kagami to Ladybug!

"Yes adrikins!" Chloe screamed from across the cafeteria.

Kagami glared at the blond girl. "He was talking to ME" she responded angrily. "Right boo?" she looked at Adrien expectantly.

"I have to go!" Adrien blurted out and then ran to the boys washroom.

Marinette POV:

Marinette was desperately trying to focus on her homework, but thoughts of Chat Noir kept invading her mind.

She was debating whether she should expose her true feelings for Chat Noir or keep her love for him buried inside, never following her heart and letting her true feelings surface.

"Why won't he get out of my head Tikki" the dark haired girl complained to her kwami as she put her head in her hands, feeling hopeless.

Tikki hugged Marinette on the cheek.

"Oh Mari" Tikki sighed. "It'll get better" the wise kwami told the sorrowful girl.

"D-do you think I should tell him about my feelings?" Marinette asked the little red kwami. The question kept running through her mind. Should she tell him or would it just make things more awkward than they already were? What if she made it more awkward by not telling him how she felt?
