Marinette's POV
-----------------------------------
I have no idea why I did it. Yes, I know Adrien is a sweet, caring and supportive by, but Chat Noir an I just have a deeper connection. For me, it's easier to talk to him about things. So when he leaned in to kiss me, I didn't protest. I may not know who he is, but he understands me and I understand him. He likes me for me, not for being Ladybug.
Maybe bringing him into my room was a bit much though.
"Marinette? Are you up there, you never came down for dinner!" The minute we heard my dad's voice we separated from each other, a blush creeping up on our faces.
I scrambled to get to my room door so that papa didn't open it and see, well...Chat and I laying in my bed making out. "Uh, y-yes papa I'm here! Just trying to finish a really~ important history project! I'll grab some later promise!" I look over to Chat to see him get up and start heading for my balcony.
"Alright, just don't forget you still have school tomorrow! Goodnight sweetie."
I gave a small sigh of relief then turned away saying, "goodnight dad."
Before he could crawl out of my window I yanked Chat back by his tail. Stumbling back, Chat fell to the floor scratching his head then looked up at me and gave an embarrassed smile. "Yes, purrincess?"
I made a 'come here' motion with my finger as I softened into a kindhearted smile, "did you think I'd let you leave just like that after all of this?"
He smirked at me as he jumped to his feet, "well, well, well Mari...I really thought this was some kind of bounce back kiss for you from that boy." My smile faded at his comment.
He thinks I was just using him...?
As Chat wraps his arms around me, I push him away and sit on the edge of my bed, "Chat we need to talk." He sat down hesitantly tilting his head at me, "I'm not using you as a rebound or anything." I took his hand in mine and squeezed it over my heart, "I care about you a lot and I kind of want to slow things down with you to prove it...I know you can't reveal your identity to me, which is fine as long as you take this relationship seriously." I looked into his eyes and saw something similar to a determination in them.
"Marinette, we can move as slow as you want, as long as I can be by your side." With those words, we both laid back on the bed and kept sharing stories back and forth until the night overtook us.
When I woke up the next morning, as expected Chat was nowhere to be found. It'd be stupid of me to think he'd stay, especially with his kwami transformed that long, there'd be no way of him staying that way all night.
"Marinette! You'll be late for school if you don't hurry up!" I finished my reminiscing of Chat Noir last night and finished getting ready.
Tikki came down from my bed and yawned while saying, "ready for school Marinette?"
I looked at her as determined as I was yesterday, "Yeah Tikki! I need to go tell Adrien that I'm okay with just being friends with him now!" I hopped down the stairs and said goodbye to my parents as I headed out the door. Skipping down the streets, I had a broad smile pasted across my face as I walked all the way through the school doors.
"Hey, girl~! What's got you all excited for? And why didn't you call me back yesterday like I told you! I was worried something tragic happened!" Before I was able to explain to her all about Adrien, well speak of the devil walked through the doors.
When we made eye contact I walked directly towards him and without stuttering spoke, "Hey Adrien, can we talk for a sec?"
"Sure Marinette, what's up?"
I took a deep breath before speaking, "I'm sorry for running away from you yesterday...I should've talked it out with you. So I'm here to tell you today that I won't be pursuing you anymore. I'll tell Alya and Nino to stop setting up those awkward lunches so that we can all just be friends!" I smiled at him as the bell rang, "well I'll see you in class!" I waved goodbye as I walked back to where Alya and Nino were talking.
"How'd it go yesterday you never told us!" Alya pounced on me the second I made it back to her. Looking back at Adrien as he stood there in the doorway to the school, I gave him a light smile and a thumbs up.
"I don't like Adrien anymore, we're just good friends."
