Heyya all
And welcome to my new story. I hope you enjoy. I've read some other author's collections of one-shots and they made me laugh and cry. And I was like "Yo, I', good at that, I should try my hand out at some one shots." So I wrote two of the ideas I had last night and I hope you enjoy them.
Note: Some chapters will likely have musical numbers. I'll warn you when those chapters happen. (Like this one)
The song in this one is supposed to be a parody of "Ginny's Song" from A Very Potter Musical by Starkid. It parodies a scene of that musical when Harry Potter obliviously does pretty much the exact same thing that Marinette does in this story. And plus, Harry is played by Darren Criss before he joins Glee. So the song is obviously good.
So enjoy.
The Song for Him
It had been earlier that day that Adrien learned that Marinette and Nino could play guitar. Alya joked that they should start a band since she could play drums while Adrien knew piano. It wasn't a horrible idea, but he only knew classical piano because that was what was "proper". So the idea was quickly scraped.
He was impressed at Marinette's ability to play guitar. That girl could literally do ANYTHING! She claimed that she hadn't played it since she was little, but Adrien could barely tell. Nor could Nino. He remembered telling them how much he liked a girl who could play guitar, unaware of the light-bulb that went off in all three of his friend's heads.
All of them thinking the same thing. Marinette needed to write a song for the love of her life. But he was still SO clueless.
It was patrol that night when Cat Noir noticed Ladybug with a Guitar. 'What a coincidence' he thought. He didn't recognize the song she was playing, but it was well-done. He also noticed how similar her guitar was to Marinette's. Except it had a red with black polka dots design. Like her.
She saw him and quickly waved him over from on top of a rooftop a few houses away from the one he was on. He quickly ran to her. "I heard your beautiful music from a mile away, M'Lady." He begins "Didn't know you played."
"Yeah. I do. Thanks Cat." She seemed genuinely pleased by his compliment "Cat, what do think about girls who can play guitar? Like romance wise."
"A girl who can play guitar strings can play my heart strings, bugaboo." He flirts.
For once his cheesiness doesn't bother her "Good, then you can be my test subject."
"Test subject?"
"Yeah. I'm think of singing a song to a boy that I like. And I thought maybe you could be my test subject since you're my friend and what not." She said, completely oblivious to the heart-breaking sound coming from her partner's chest.
The cat's heart sank so fast when she said it that he thought he lost multiple lives. He hid it well though. "Yeah of course, M'lady." He bows "I'm at your service."
"Great. So I'm going to have to use your name instead of his so I don't reveal who he is. Your names have the same amount of syllables so it should work. But it might sound a little weird to you." She states
"It wouldn't be the only weird thing I heard today."
"Great!" She strummed the guitar and got ready to play
I know you will go far
They'll all know who you are
She looks to him as if it sounded weird putting his name in it.
Cat Noir
You know it's so bizarre
Cause you always raise the bar
Cat Noir
You're hotter than a star
Gonna play it on guitar
Cat Noir
You're cute just like a kitty
Gonna take you to the city
Yeah, that's a promise
Ca ca ca ca cat
She suddenly stops playing and turns to him. "You know, this just doesn't work. Absolutely not. It doesn't work with your name at all. It sounds more horrible than your puns. No offense."
Cat Noir suddenly gets snapped out of his romantic gaze. "Um... none taken?"
"So what do you think? Do you think it can get a guy to fall in love with me?"
He lovingly looks to her "M'lady, I think it already has."
She suddenly breaks his daydreamy state when she speaks "Good. Then the guy I like will LOVE it." His heart breaks once more.
Why did she have to be so oblivious?
The next day was Friday. And usually all the students were so happy for the week to be over. But Adrien, the boy who's usually a ball of innocent sunshine, is slow a mopey. And on the day Marinette brought her guitar for some "special" purpose. Usually Adrien's interest was far greater, but not today.
"Yo, you know what's up with blonde today?" Alya asked Mari
"No clue, but I don't like it." She said, concerned "Today was the day I was going to sing to him. And now he's in a bad move."
"Then maybe that's the perfect time." Alya suggests "If he's so depressed maybe a song will cheer him up. You can be a hero."
"That's not a bad idea." Anything to make him feel better
At the end of school came around, Adrien went to go to the limo that was picking him up, like every day. But Marinette quickly caught up to him.
"Marinette, is everything okay?" He asked
"Well, I heard you were having a bad day and I know you like when I play guitar and I actually have a song for you and I thought you'd like to hear it."
Adrien actually smiles for the first time since the night before. He feels so touched. "That's so sweet. I'd love to hear it."
Marinette gets her guitar and starts playing a tune that sounds so familiar to him.
I know you will go far
They'll all know who you are
Adrien
You know it's so bizarre
Cause you always raise the bar
Adrien
You're hotter than a star
Gonna play it on guitar
Adrien
You're cute just like a kitty
Gonna take you to the city
Yeah, that's a promise
Ah ah ah ah aaadrien Adrien
Marinette doesn't notice that his civilian name doesn't work so well in the song. But Adrien does care.
But all Marinette notices is the shocked expression on Adrien's face. As if he's just seen color for the first time. And he kind of is because he can only see red on Marinette even though she's wearing none of it. And also polka dots. ALLOT of polka dots. Everything quickly starts to make sense.
"Do you not like it?"
"I loved it. Like 'playing with heart strings' loved it." Replied Adrien "But there's probably a thing or two we should discuss."
I'll gladly admit that the parody in this one isn't very good. And I'm someone who's real good at parodies. (Check out "Grand Conductor" for a bit more proof.) But this one is passable because it's not supposed to be so good anyway.
I have an idea on what happens after this so if a good amount of people want I'll do it. But I'm focusing on other things for right now.
Also, the next chapter also has to do with Harry Potter. Yep. I'm a nerd. But the next one is really cute.
