Reverse crush ;3
Marinette practically had a heart attack as Chat dropped down in front, just starting to greet eagerly, "Well hello Purr-" only to get cut off as she jerked back, scrambling to get away from the sudden appearance of her crush.
Unsurprisingly, she tripped over her own feet.
Chat in turn reacted in alarm. "OhmygoshMarinetteareyouok?!" he asked frantically as she fell on her butt, reaching to help her up.
"Ye-yes!" she squawked, going tomato red as he pulled her up. "Yes! I, I'm pretty boy—PRETTY GOOD! I MEAN PRETTY GOOD! Yes! That, that's what I, I meant..."
She withdrew, shrinking down and covering her red face, so very much flustered.
Why did she think this was a good idea?
This was not a good idea.
Why did she think this was a good idea?!
Chat, catching her words with his great hearing, grinned in delight. He leaned closer to her, repeating with a teasing purr, "Did I hear you say pretty boy?"
Marinette squeaked and giggled sheepishly.
Oh no.
He heard.
God, Tikki, whoever else was out there; have mercy on her for she has no idea how she was going to get through this night with Evillustrator.
