I never cared, at least I will say that to myself over and over. A guy like me shouldn't care. I am not one to hate on my bro gaining the affections of some chick. It wasn't my place. I wasn't going to be stingy. I just decided to back off a bit. But Alya didn't let me forget my feelings towards Marinette. Even now when playing truth or dare at Adrien's house I am begging her not to ask me to confess.

"Truth… let's see~" Alya's voice was mischievous as she placed her hand under her cheek pretending to think. But, that smirk sealed my fate. I looked down knowing what was going to come.

"Have you ever had a crush on Adrien? Or at least wanted to touch his butt?" her question was repulsive and I couldn't believe it but I was also grateful.

I opened my mouth in shock and saw Marinette pinch her nose pretending not to care but I could obviously see her blush. Of course I knew she had a crush on Adrien basically everyone one in the school knew that, except for Adrien.

"Um...no?"

"You stuttered." Alya snapped with an evil grin.

"I did not, I was just really confused Al, I never thought you'd ask a question like that." I shot back and Alya's face beamed.

"I know a person who would love to touch Adrien's butt." Alya said as her eyes went to Marinette and winked.

"Oh, my gosh please stop." Marinette said as she covered her face obviously emarished.

"Guys, I get it I have a nice butt, but shouldn't we try to finish the game?" Adrien said as he tried to make the situation less awkward.

"That's not going to happen with Alya around." I say and I got a glare coming from the brunette.

Marinette chuckled under her breath as she cover her mouth with a hand and looked over at me. I met her gaze and smiled back, we both knew Alya was a problem maker.

" Okay, then let's play a different game." Adrien stressed the phrase as he thought it through and I really couldn't blame him. The thick air and strange aura in the room made everything less natural and more nerve wracking. I knew my bro and he was uncomfortable. If anyone was a empath it was him. He soaked the emotion up like a cucumber soaked up vinegar.

"Okay, why don't we play a video game?" Marinette shot up with a big grin.

"Yeah!" Adrien said with enthusiasm.

"Um, guys the only two here that play video games are you two, what do we do while you guys are playing?" Alya addressed my thoughts clearly. Marinette blushed releasing her mistake as Adrien scratched the back of his head realising it as well.

"Let's play LIFE. But, even better we work in teams." Alya said with a wild grin and I knew that what she planed was not good.

"I-I can be with Adrien…" Marinette mumbled with a crazy grin as she went into her dream world.

"Sounds good to me." Alya said with a sweet smile back to her friend.

Alya took out the board game in a flash mean while Adrien was looking off in the distance like he was thinking. Finally He looked back at me and bit his lip.

"We should draw names out of a hat." He suggested. Both Alya and Marinette looked back at him in surprise. It was hard to read his face but I couldn't read past the 'nervousness'.

"Um, okay…" Alya dragged out a bit skeptical as she rows a brow.

"Um, sure whatever you say Adrien." Marinette said calmly or as calmly as she could fake as her eyes gleamed.

I could feel Adrien's eyes creating a hole in me causing me to turn and notice his questionable gaze.

"What do you think Nino?" he asked and I shrugged.

"Whatever floats your boat dude." I said and he finally smiled. Alya clapped and looked at all of us, without anyone of us noticing she already grabbed one of Adrien's beanies and put all our names in the hat.

"Okay, Who wants to be the deciding factor?" she said as she looked around the room.

"Oh, me!" Marinette said with glee and Alya held the hat to her. Marinette closed her eyes and dug in the hat with a smile. She finally got a paper out and did a short prayer before looking at it. Here smile twitch and her gaze darkened slightly but she kept up her sweet smile.

"Looks like we are a team Nino." she said softly as she smiled at me. I felt my heart drop but I couldn't let her know I can't bare her noticing .

"Cool," is all I say back.

"Awesome that means me and Alya are a team." Adrien said with a bit too much happiness I could tell Marinette either was upset or jealous by it. Maybe even both.

It didn't take long for the game to get out of hand. I ended up 'married' to Marinette and Adrien was 'married' to Alya.

"I'm a teacher Alya we can afford to have another kid." Adrien said a bit tired of the argument.

"No, no, no two is enough." Alya stated while shaking he rhead.

"I thought you liked kids Alya." Marinette said back and Alya made a face.

"I Like kids but that doesn't mean I want to have three little monsters running around the house." Alyaa stated.

"But, you're a journalist. Couldn't you write articles on your crazy adventures of being a mother and make money off of it?" Adrien suggested.

"I can still do that with two we don't need a third." Alya shot back and Adrien put his hands in the air,

"Fine I get it, I know who the leader of the relationship is." he said and Alya smirked and poked his nose.

"You're right sweetheart." Alya said.

"You guys are disgusting." Marinette joked but I noticed she didn't seem all that happy about the whole arrangement.

"How many kids will you and Mari be shooting for Nino?" Adrien asked, only he could know when to change direction in a topic so perfectly.

"Uhhhhhh…. Wife?" I said as I turned to Mari and she gave me the cutest crooked grin I ever saw.

"Well, once we both have stable jobs lets shoot for no more than three?" she said with an asking gaze and I nodded.

"I'm cool with three." I say and she smiled brightly and shot her gaze back to the other two.

"Perfect three it is." she said and I smiled.

Sure it was fun, Alya ended up have two sets of twin and though she screamed and yelled to get a divorce, Adrien refused to sign the papers. He proclaimed that is was best for both parents to stay in the relationship for the children's sake. Marinette ended up being a doctor and I got the weird job of being an actor. Marinette cracked jokes about us being the weirdest parents probably dragging our kids to random places and traveling the world. She had such an adventuress mind it was astounding sooner or later we called it a night. The girls went to bed in a guest room while Adrien and I stayed in his room. The dude was out like a light while I was still laying in my sleeping bag on my phone as I listening to music.

I heard noses in the hall and I took out my earbuds to see what is was. It sounded like steps and it was starting to make me concerned. I sat up and heard a voice like a child's.

"Maybe you should get back into bed. So you don't get caught." was what I heard.

"Shhh I am just trying to find clues maybe Gabriel has more than just the book." I could have sworn that I heard Marinette talk. I got up and made my way to the door and opened it slowly. I stepped out and met Marinette's shocked gaze.

"Nino?" she whispered a bit confused but I just nodded.

"Marinette…" I said her name back and closed the door behind me. The hallway was dim and the only source of light was coming off the windows. It was an eerie glow throughout the long corridor but it gave Marinette a wonderful angelic like glow. I wanted to get out my camera and take a picture. But, that would be weird.

"You um, are… awake?" she asked as she tilted her head and looked around. Was she nervous or something?

"I mean, I would hope so." I tell her back and she makes a face. "Is there something wrong?" I ask and she shakes her head.

I felt like she was lying to me but I didn't really want to force her. I turned around started to reached out to grab a hold of the door handle.

"You didn't hear anything did you?" I hear Marinette ask behind me and I turned again. To face her.

"No, why?" I ask and she just smiled.

"No reason, I just think there is a ghost around here… or something…" she said and I looked at her quite amazed. Never have I ever thought that the girl would be interested in the supernatural. May hans left the door knob and I gave her a smirk.

"You believe in ghost?" I asked her and she made a face.

"Not really, more like curious about their existence. They are real but I have never seen one. I guess that's good. But I am not a fanatic I… just… thought I heard something… um… so that's why I am out of bed." Marinette said as she rubbed on of her hand along her arm. She glanced away from me and then turned around to face one of the massive windows.

"The stars sure a pretty tonight…" she said as she voiced her thoughts.

I left the door the Adrien's room behind me as I walked out to be besides her.

"Do you… believe in the zodiac signs?" I asked her. I felt so dumb after I asked her. I could feel the heat rise to my cheeks.

"Do you?" she asked back and I felt myself hold my breathe. I glanced over at her and she gave me a curious look.

"I think the psychology behind them is interesting… I am a sucker for weird things like ghost, rocks, stars, myths, legends." I say and I bite my lip hoping that she didn't laugh. This was the first time I have ever talked to her alone. I was hoping that I wasn't scaring her off.

"Tell me about these… signs. What's mine?" she asked as she walked closer to the window to look at the stars.

"When are you born?"

"August 10th" she said back with a smile and nodded.

It came to me that Leo's are probably the most confident leaders among the group. Something Marinette had down.

"Leo, a lion of sorts. You are stubborn, confident, and a leader." I said and she snorts.

"Sounds like me. I bet if I read more into it I will find flaws." she points out and I smile back at her.

"You would be the one to do that. Adrien's is a Libra, gentle, social, and hates arguments." I tell her and I can see her smile in the corner of my eyes as I looked out at the stars.

"Sounds like him. But what about you?" she asked and turned to me. I followed ehr movement and turned with her, her gaze was studding me and I didn't know if that was good or bad.

"I'm a fish, Pisces I was born March 7th I am musical, artistic, and fearful." Nino said with a soft smile.

"Well are you?"

"I think I am musical but not artistic I can't draw."

"There's more to art then drawing."

"You aren't wrong…"

"I think it suits you. Have you ever wondered if you were born on the wrong date?" Marinette asked and the question caught him off guard.

"No, I think when you are born it can never be wrong. You are brought into the world at the right time in the right place. I don't think the stars change you but people do." I say and I hear her snort again.

"Sounds poetic…" she said and I smile and look back at the stars.

"Maybe…" I trailed off.

"We should go to bed…" I heard Marinette say as she yawned. I nodded and turned to walk way.

"Nino…" I stopped in my place to listen to her.

"Thank you for this… I really needed it." I heard her say. I didn't understand why she needed me to talk about weird things, but I am glad I could help.

"Hay, if you ever need anything, text me." I say back to her before returning into Adrien's room.
