"What do you think you're doing?!" Juuno softly demanded, tail feathers fanned out with his stress.
Vixx wasn't bothered. The little god just smirked, very pleased as she watch the two sit close together, working on physics. "Just helping our Kit," she said simply. "She was struggling, and Wayzz wasn't going to help her."
"I was getting it down," Wayzz grumbles, frowning as he watched the two. He would've been helpful soon enough...
"You are putting us at risk," Beea voices, blue eyes slanted as she glared down, antennas twitching.
"It'll be fine," Tikki eased, "we can easily hide away if he looks up. We'll never be noticed!"
"Talk a little louder and you won't be," Plagg grumbles darkly.
Nooroo winces. "Sorry for interrupting your cat nap..." He knows Plagg liked taking them alone. Tikki being the only exception.
"You better be."
"Plagg be nice," Tikki scolds. He harrumphs back.
"So what's the plan?" Beea huffed, "Just hide away while deal with homework?"
"We've done it for a long time," Nooroo gently chides. "And she has a right to a social life."
"Plus," Vixx pipes, "I'm calling it, this Kit here, he wants to scream at her."
All the gods turned to her in surprise. Tikki and Juuno drew near the edge with Vixx, peering down in interest. "Really?" Tikki asked excitedly.
"He would do," Juuno bids, "he's handsome in an out. Very worthy. He has the peacock approval!"
"Oh no no no!" Beea cut in, buzzing angrily, "you three will not-"
"Do you hear buzzing?" Adrien voiced, making all the gods jerk back, hiding out of view.
"I,I didn't hear anything...?" Marinette answered slowly.
"Huh," Adrien hummed, "I could've sworn..."
The kwamis waited for the studying to resume before Beea continues with a softer hiss, "You will not matchmake. Her dating someone is the last thing we need!"
"Oh Beea, there's no reason to be such a buzzk-"
"Don't you dare finish that sentence Vixx."
Tikki huffs, "Beea, we've all had Guardians who've had a partner or few. We were able to hide pretty well. We can handle her dating someone."
"I know we've all gotten caught a few times."
"It is a bit of a risk," Wayzz weighs in. "We shouldn't get involved. Shouldn't encourage this."
"Nor should we discourage it," Nooroo puts in with a frown. "If they want to be together-"
"And risk ourselves?!"
"Beea, we are guests here, this girl isn't our Guardian. She has no reason to commit her life to us, adjust it fully to us. She has a right to see someone if she wants too."
Beea glares at Nooroo.
The butterfly peered back.
"Oooooooo-" Juuno smacked a paw over Vixx's mouth, shooting the fox a warning glare.
Adrien groaned when he leaned back, stretching out stiff muscles.
Near him, Marinette was hunched over, glaring at the physics below her, her tongue cutely sticking out as she brooded over the problem. Sparing a glance at the computer screen, he saw that they've been at this for an hour.
Maybe they could use a break...
Looking around the room, Adrien blinked when his gaze settled on a controller.
"You game?" he asked.
Marinette gives a start, looking up with a curious hum.
He pointed to the controllers, repeating, "You game?"
Blinking, she said, "Yeah. Papa and I play UMS every Sunday."
He drew near with an excited gasp. "You play UMS?!"
"Oh yeah."
"Let's play a game!" Adrien asked excitedly, already moving for the controllers.
"But my homew-"
"We need a break!" he insisted.
Marinette looked like she was going to argue, but as Adrien pulled out two controllers and grinned at her, she caved.
She could use a break.
"So how's the cat?" Adrien asked as Marinette got the game going.
Oh uh, he's doing good."
"Is he around?" Adeien asked, looking around the room like the cat would show. He glanced up at the loft. "He up there?"
"Uh probably..." she comments, frowning. With a huff, she grumbled, "Hold up, being slow..."
Seeing that he had a bit of time, Adiren got up and went up the stairs to Marinette's bed, eager to see the cat again.
The gods scrambled and panicked, all diving into the bed as Adrien peeked up, giddily looking about for the cat. Only to see just a plain bed. "Kitty?" he beckoned, clicking his tongue. "Here kitty," he cooes.
No movement... though he swear a he might've heard a snicker?
And a hiss?
He glanced down at Marinette, who was still occupied with working on the game. Tentatively, he crawled onto the bed, feeling the sheets for the little cat. He had to be here somewhere...
Adrien perks when he felt a bump.
There was the kitty!
Under the sheets, Wayzz was internally screaming.
And was too scared to move.
Beea waved for Plagg to pop out.
He made an aggressive "no" gesture.
Beea narrowed her eyes at him, jerking her dark arms up.
Plagg shook his head no again.
Adrien was moving to ease the "kitty" out from under the covers.
Vixx shoved Plagg out of the bed, earning a loud yowl from the god as he popped out and fell to the floor. Adrien jumped, looking down and meeting Plagg's wide eyes. "Kitty!" he greeted.
Plagg noped out of there, rushing to Marinette's side.
Adrien quickly followed, eager to pick up the cat.
Vixx popped out, declaring, "A worthy sacrifice."
"For once we're in an agreement." Beea bid.
