A/N: Hey guys! Thank you so much for your reviews I honestly started crying when I saw most of them I was so happy to see all of the love you guys thought of me. Enjoy the chapter and please leave me more reviews!
From: Nino
Did you ever learn who was with Marinette last night?
From: Alya
No she said he was a stranger.
From: Nino
There's no way that two random strangers just dance like that.
From: Alya
Stranger's dance with each other all the time at clubs. And they do worse than that with random people they meet.
From: Nino
Has she said anything? Is she going to meet this dude again?
From: Alya
You don't think I've been trying to figure that out!
From: Alya
She gets more flustered when I mention what happened then if I ever mention Adrien.
From: Nino
So what are you going to do?
From: Alya
Let's just say that our conversation at lunch tomorrow is going to be really entertaining. Try and make sure to be cautious, it's not every day we see two blondes go red.
Monday 11:53
Marinette yawned as she stepped out of her lecture hall. Between Alya's probing her for information about her time at the club and visiting her parents, it was lucky the budding designer got the chance to study for her exam. After a solid hour of concentration she left the classroom with a greater relief due to the lack of stress.
Taking a sip of her coffee she readjusted her backpack strap over her shoulder when the sound of a door opening caught her attention. She smiled to her old childhood friend as he closed the door softly behind him before looking up to meet her gaze.
"Oh…Felix, how did you do on the test?" She turned fully to him. A small grin actually pulled at the corner of his lips.
"I'm sure not as differently as I did on the others."
So he probably made another perfect score. Marinette thought a little nervously. "Well then, should we wait for Adrien?"
He glanced back to the door before turning back to her. "He would probably just insist that we go on ahead."
"Oh…okay. You would know better…he is your brother." She replied shyly before the two continued walking to the hallway. Marinette turned redder and redder from the close proximity of one of the handsome twins but tried her best to just keep her gaze forward.
"So…" His deep voice sent her stumbling into a trash can as he looked at her oddly.
"Yes?" She squeaked.
"Did you have an interesting weekend?"
"Oh. Well you know, it was just the same old same old." A strange emotion passed through his eyes before he just kept walking and the eventually followed along with him. It was a stiff silence as they went outside and walked to the crosswalk before the café they were to meet the others at. As they crossed the light changed signaling the oncoming traffic to resume.
"Old man! You can't cross yet!" A voice called causing Marinette to turn around and see an elderly Chinese man slowly hobbling across the street. With a small gasp and without a second thought Marinette sprinted back across the street, ignoring Felix's shouts for her name to reach the old man to help him cross the before traffic started crossing.
"Thank you young lady, I thought the light was still green."
"You just have to be more careful mister." She giggled before Felix ran over to the two.
"Marinette! What were you thinking?! You can't run out in the middle of traffic!"
"I was helping someone Felix, don't worry." She smiled. He only scowled before looked to the old man with a deeper scowl.
"You might want to see about glasses."
"Yes I'll make sure." The old man spat bitterly before looking to Marinette. "Thank you again Miss, you were such a big help."
"Sure no problem." Marinette replied as he seemed to walk past her, unseeingly dropping something within the small opening of her bag.
Today, the group of friends decided to meet at a small Greek restaurant for a change of pace. Alya and Nino were already there waiting for the rest and only took note at how Felix and Marinette arrived together with no other sign of the second Agreste twin.
"I bet your Beats he's going to ask her out by the end of the month."
"No way." Nino chortled taking a sip of his lemonade. "But I'll take that bet, I need a new pair anyway."
Alya rolled her eyes although hid her smirk as her best friend approached. Her phone was at the ready in her lap for the need to collect photos, although she had to lay in patience for the other blonde to arrive.
"So how did it go? I bet there was nothing for you to even worry about right?" She grinned as Marinette just gave a very eager nod.
"Well, all the hard work paid off, and I'm glad it did, now I'm just going to try and get ahead before the weekend." Felix paused a moment from raising his glass of black tea to eye her carefully.
"Oh? Are you planning to do something special?" Marinette smiled but awkwardly waved the idea off.
"No, I mean, it never hurts to keep some weekends free. I mean, you never know if something comes up, then what are you going to do if you're busy?"
"Skip out like we did on Saturday." Alya winked before she and Nino started chuckling.
"What happened on Saturday?" Felix asked casually, gazing intently to Marinette who seemed to become fascinated with the dessert advertisement on their table.
"Oh nothing all that special." She choked.
"What's not all that special?" Adrien walked up and took the available seat between his brother and Nino.
"Apparently Marinette' weekend." His brother answered.
"How was the test Adrien? I hope you didn't mind us having to leave you earlier." Marinette blurted out, trying her best to change the subject.
"Don't worry about it, I doubt Felix would have allowed you to anyway. But what happened this weekend? I heard you and Alya went to go and watch Nino DJ."
Marinette's face turned redder as she nodded.
"Y….yeah….we did. It was fun." Alya smirked slyly and propped her chin up in her palm as she leaned closer to Marinette.
"Go on Marinette, share your story with the two."
"Alya." She hissed although the girl's eyes narrowed.
"If you don't I will."
"What happened Marinette?" Adrien asked innocently as a waiter approached with his lunch order. "You can tell us."
"Well…" Marinette's blush turned darker as she sunk lower into her seat. "I…I started dancing with this…masked stranger."
Across from her, Adrien struggled for breath as he choked on his water.
Alya seemed to only laugh as she snaked an arm around her friend's neck.
"And not only that, but this guy was super dreamy! You should have seen her yesterday, she was so flustered about dancing with him. If I didn't know any better, I would think she might have a little crush on her mystery man." There was another set of gasping coughs as now even Felix, who always remained phase less was sputtering on his tea.
"You dudes okay?" Nino asked, casually popping a chip into his mouth.
"Fine." The twins responded simultaneously, both hanging onto Marinette's reaction.
"You know, it really doesn't matter right?" She replied. "We met once and I don't even know him or how I could find him and all…"
"But if you could find him…would you?" Felix's question cut a tension through the air as everyone turned their attention to him and the serious expression he had on his face.
"I…I umm…well…" Marinette turned a deeper red as she stood up abruptly. "I think I should get going, yeah, I have an art class today, and I think I have a few more details I need to add to my piece! So, yeah, I'll see you guys later, bye!"
And before anyone else could stop her, Marinette was running across the street away from their table, trying to escape the set of grey and green eyes trailing after her.
Adrien sighed heavily as he closed one of the very thick textbooks he had for his class and stretched out allowing all of his joints to pop. Sitting in the library studying was not fun in the first place, but it was even less so knowing that afterward one had fencing and a photo shoot to follow after. Standing up, the model began to pack up his messenger bag of his books and then headed out from the library doing his best to ignore the stares of other girls that fawned over him due to his modeling career.
The fresh air was a welcoming factor once leaving the dusty library, although the day was a little less than perfect due to the information he had received earlier that afternoon.
Marinette danced with some random guy at a club. He thought once again with a small scowl tugging downward on his lips. Why does that bother me so much? It's only natural she gets to go out and dance with guys, she's a very pretty girl.
He stopped at the crosswalk and pondered over it.
No, that's not it. It's something else that's bugging me. Why didn't Nino tell me she danced with someone else?! Did he know it would make me upset? I wonder how it went down. Did she bump into someone and then offer a dance as an apology? Or did some guy just start dancing with her? Putting their dirty hands on her sweet little-WAIT HOLD UP! Since when have I ever thought of Marinette like that? Okay we've been friends, but come to think of it she's never hung around any other guys besides me, my brother and Nino. Maybe I'm just protective of her and all. I don't know who danced with her, and I'm not comfortable with her liking someone who could just be out to use her. She deserves more than that.
His thoughts were interrupted by passing near a window and seeing the time and how he was already running late for his lesson. He cursed his idleness and started sprinting towards the gym where his lesson was out and ran up the steps and noticed he wasn't the only one who was running late as someone else ran past him and knocked an elder man aside down the steps. Adrien scowled at the retreating figure but leapt to the man's aide to help him up and retrieving his cane.
"Are you alright sir? People need to show some more courtesy to others." He hissed as the man chuckled.
"I'm fine, but thank you for taking the time to help someone in need. You don't see that much in people."
"Yeah well," Adrien awkwardly chuckled. "I'm not a hero or anything, just a helpful stranger."
"But you have the making to be one." He patted him on the shoulder. "Better get going or you'll be late."
"Oh right! Well, take care!" Adrien turned and hurried up the steps as the man just smiled knowingly after him. A small green figure flew out of his shirt and right in front of the man's face.
"Do you think he'll be a suitable candidate master?" He asked calmly as the old man nodded.
"I do Waayz, now let's go finish the mission."
Marinette sighed heavily as she opened the door to her vacant dorm room. Her nerves were tense after lunch and left a mark on her by making her feel tired. Dropping her bag on the floor she landed on her bed with a tired sigh.
"Bad luck like usual." She sighed. I can't believe I had to share that story with Adrien. He was the last person I wanted to know. I'm so embarrassed. She buried her head deeper when her phone started ringing from her backpack. Sliding off her bed, she landed on the floor alongside her bag and dug around for her phone when she felt an odd unrecognizable object.
"Wha?" She muttered and pulled out a black octagon case.
"What is this?"
"What is this?" Adrien asked holding up a similar octagon case that he pulled out from his bag. It was certainly something he hadn't recalled putting in.
"I guess…I better open it." He murmured when he opened the lid to see nestled inside was a black ring.
"A ring?"
"Earrings?" Marinette asked, looking at the pair of red earring each with five black dots. It was then in those two separate bedrooms that both a green and pink light flashed before the two college students.
Well I'm going to stop there because every other good story I know of are stopping on cliffhangers. Please leave me some reviews and thank you for reading. Next chapter, two kids try out their super powers!
