Day 3: My parents had said they adopted a cat, so I was surprised to see Chat Noir sitting in my living room, drinking hot chocolate

I rushed back home after receiving the text from my parents.

I had been out with Nino, Alya, Ivan, and Mylene getting ice cream when they texted me, saying that I should get home as soon as possible, but not to rush. And to not worry.

Everyone just told me to go, that it wasn't a big deal and we can go another time.

So I sprinted home, hoping everything was actually okay.

Tikki poked her head out of my purse, looking at me in confusion. "I thought your parents said it wasn't an emergency?"

"They did, but they could just not want me to worry," I answered, gently guiding Tikki back into my purse and closing it since I was nearing the doors to the bakery.

I quickly opened the door, locked it behind me, and ran upstairs.

My parents intercepted me before I reached the living room, not looking worried in the least. I doubled over, out of breath from running so far.

"What...happ...ened?" I breathed out.

They both smiled at me.

"We told you everything was okay," my Papa said.

"You didn't need to rush, dear," my Maman continued.

"So...everything's okay?" I questioned, not entirely sure, even with their calm demeanors.

They both nodded, still amused.

"We just had some news."

"Oh."

I felt silly for jumping to conclusions, but at least nothing was wrong and no one was hurt.

"So what's the news?"

"Well, it appears we've adopted a cat," Papa answered.

"What?" I asked. "Who? Where?" I moved my head back and forth, looking for any sign of a feline.

Maman pointed towards the living room and they both moved out of the way as I hurled myself towards the cat, or kitty, awaiting my love.

And I froze one step into the room.

My parents had said they adopted a cat, so I was surprised to see Chat Noir sitting in my living room, drinking hot chocolate. His head tilted so he could look all around the room.

I didn't know what to do or how to react. Chat Noir is most certainly not your average cat.

His head swung my way, probably having heard me enter the room. His face lit up in a smile and it pulled at my heartstrings.

"Hi, Marinette!" Chat cheerfully greeted.

"Um, hi."

His expression didn't falter in the least, gesturing for me to join him. I didn't want to be rude…

Once I sat, I couldn't hold the question in anymore.

"Not that I don't want you here, but what exactly are you doing here? I've never heard of you doing house visits before."

And that's when his eyes dimmed. I hated it.

"Well, um… my fa-family might have not been very supportive and I-" he sighed, his shoulders drooping and head falling. "I just needed to get out."

Like how my heart was being pulled out of my chest.

I rested a hand on his arm, wanting him know that he had at least one person who would support him.

"Well, you're always welcome here."

Chat's lips pulled back into a small smile.

"Your parents told me. Thank you."

"It's the least we could do. You help us and all of Paris everyday. You deserve to have people in your corner and a place to be yourself."

Then, he...blushed?

Soon followed by a semi-loud beeping. His miraculous.

He opened his mouth to say something, and I wanted to look away, but there was suddenly a flash of green light and...Chat was replaced by someone else.

A loud gasp was heard from the doorway, but neither of us looked away from each other.

Green eyes, blonde hair…

Adrien Agreste.

My mouth hung open like a fish, unable to say anything. He was stuck in a state of shock.

After no one moving, a black blur flew in front of my face, breaking the awkward silence.

"You got any cheese?"

3 day streak! Hope y'all enjoyed. Let me know what y'all think.
