Hey guys! For some reason this is another super short chapter but that's okay 'cause you're going to love this chapter in comparison to the next one… Here we go!
Chat Noir was on his way to Marinette's place. Running through back roads, the thought of Marinette and him together plagued his mind, suffocating him and making him very dizzy. He kept telling himself to stop, that these thoughts were very unfair to her, that they wouldn't do anything tonight, but instead talk as civilized people. But then he would remember the feeling of her lips on his, his lips on hers, and get distracted once again.
At one point, Chat heard something behind the alley he was walking through. Turning his head slightly, Chat saw purple mixed with purple mixed with intense. Taking a step back, Aaron stood in front of him.
With a snarl, Chat arched his back and unsheathed his claws. "What are you doing here?" Slightly smirking, Aaron held up his hand, which was full of jewelry. "What does it look like?" Chat couldn't stand how calmly he said it. "Give me those. Now." "What, this stuff that I totally bought with my own money?" Shaking his head, as if he was disappointed, he added, "Gotta play your cards smarter than that, Adrien. Some one might try to take advantage of you." Chat took a step back, hissing and spitting, green eyes wide but pupils as sharp as a knife. "What did you say?" Aaron tilted his head to the side, putting on fake sympathy. "Oh, I'm sorry, do you prefer Chat Noir? If I had two identities, I would want to be called the one I'm more like too."
Now I've got him. Now Chats going to think Marinette told him and get mad at her, she'll be sad, and come to me for sympathy. Aaron let his smile fly as wide as it wanted, the cold beads in his hand soothing and cool. Marinette would like these, he thought. I'm glad I stole them.
Chat felt confused and very, very wild. He could feel his hair spiking like a startled cat's, and he couldn't control it, since that's exactly how he felt. "Stay away from her. Ok, don't mess with her! You here me?" Aaron scanned Chat, stating grimly, "I think I would be a lot safer than a desperate black cat who will let his anger rule over his love for some one." Gritting his teeth, Chat looked down. Had couldn't do this anymore. As he turned, he stated, "If you loved her, you shouldn't have to say 'a lot safer', but 'she will be safe'. Now stay away from Marinette or I will listen to my claw's instincts." And with that, he flew through the night with his baton, breathing in the crisp air and eventually landing at his destination. Knocking nervously on the glass, Chat took a deep breath. "Oh, hey Adrien!" Here we go…
Marinette hadn't understood a word of what Chat had said. She had taken him and led him to her bed, snuggling herself up in a blanket that Chat soon took and snuggled himself in too. Then, he'd started to spew nonsense. "Marinette Aaron has been stealing and he doesn't love you and you're in danger when you're near him and he knows who I am why did you tell him I thought it was our secret!" Furrowing her eyebrows, Marinette's eyes hardened. "Adrien, what are you talking about?"
How did she not understand? I've told her everything… maybe I need to slow down? "I-I… Aaron. He knows who am am. Under the mask. Why did you tell him?" He set an uncomfortably accusing glare on her, and Marinette fiddled with her fingers uncertainly. "Adrien, I never told anyone about you. I-I kept our secret and I don't know where Aaron got that information from. I'm sorry." Chat's anger was sparked. "Well I certainly didn't tell him, so just admit it!" Something in him cheered him on, but there was a large part that really wanted him to stop and just forget about it. She was loyal, stupid! Just listen to her! Don't lose her! But then he took the leap. "You betrayed me." Ripping the blanket off of her, Chat stormed out the window without a glance back. When he got to the Eiffel Tower, he sat and cried regretful tears until the sun rose and he knew he had to go get ready for school.
The leap Chat had taken was not graceful, nor needed, but he couldn't un-jump it, so now he just had to hope he could land soon, without a crash. Marinette was still in shock for now, but eventually she will go to the person she still trusts and get comfort, fake or real - she couldn't care less.
I told you it was going to be short! ;) Anyways, I really need some suggestions on how big you guys want Marinette and Adrien's relationship to be and what you want them to do together, so I'm most likely going to wait until I get some reviews… I really need 'em guys! At least like five ideas… I wanna know what you want… Anyways, see you guys next time, I hope you liked it!
