I'm so sorry this chapter isn't long and it's late. Thanks for all the support everyone gave me. My best friend is feeling happy now, but in order for that to happen, I think we can't be friends anymore. And that breaks my heart. He is a good person. The situation is complicated, but as for now, we're not friends. But, thanks for everything guys. Now read!
Gabriel leaned his ear closer to the small opening of the door. Ugh, they're too far. All I hear is mumbling! Gabriel thought, frustrated. He leaned even closer, enough to sneak some words here and there but not enough to listen to the full conversation.
He managed to catch the words, "Camembert- Stinky- secret- Plagg- Window- " and Gabriel could've sworn he heard another voice in the room but no one else was present.
Maybe if he just leaned a little cl- Creaakkk! Gabriel's blood ran cold. Dammit, he leaned to close. The chatter inside the room quickly went silent and panicked. Thankfully, Gabriel was quick and hid before he was caught eavesdropping.
Whatever they were talking about, it must have been important. And Gabriel had his mind set to finding out what it was.

"Tiki?" Marinette asked.
Nibbling on a cookie, Tiki simply answered, "Yes?"
"I…" Marinette hesitated. "I'm confused about... something."
"What is it?"
"It's- it's about l-lo-l"
"Come on, say it." Tiki encouraged.
"It's about love!" Marinette finally shouted out.
"Mari, sweetie, everything okay up there?" Came her mother's muffled voice through the trapdoor.
"Y-Yeah! Everything is completely fine!"
"Love, eh?" teased Tiki.
"Y-Yeah," blushed Marinette.
"Well if you want my opinion on it, love is not difficult. You just make it difficult. If you love two, go for second one. Because if you really loved the first one, you wouldn't have fallen for the second one."
"Wise much?" joked Marinette. But she knew that Tiki's words were true. And as much as she didn't want to believe them, they were right. She wasn't sure if she still loved Adrien. Well, of course she still had feelings, but they weren't as strong. They had drifted away. But landed onto someone else.
Chat.

"Finally!" Adrien groaned as he plopped down on his bed. It was already night time and he had barely finished doing everything in his schedule.
"You know what would make you feel better?" Plagg asked.
"What?"
"Visiting your princess. Duh!" Plagg explained. Secretly, Plagg just wanted to see Tiki.
"You're right! Plagg, Claws Out!"
Plagg rolled his eyes with a smile as he was sucked into Adrien's ring.

Marinette lay in her bed, conflicting with her feelings.
Tap, Tap.
The familiar sound brought a smile to her face. She sat up and unlatched her window, allowing a cat heroine to slip in.
Chat sat on her bed and smiled at her. "Hey princess," he whispered.
"Hello, kitten," she whispered back with a yawn.
Chat tilted his head. He gave a small smile. "Tired, princess?"
"Very."
It was a quiet night and the only thing lighting her room was her fairy lights that gave a low glow.
He gently pushed her down on her back so that she could rest. Marinette pulled him down with her, allowing warmth between both of them. Cuddling with Chat had become her favorite thing to do.
She wrapped her arms around him and he welcomed her into a hug. They lay there for a few minutes, appreciating the moment. Marinette buried her nose closer to Chat, starting to drift into sleep. Chat rest his head atop of her head, allowing the strawberry smell to reach him.
Eventually, they both fell asleep in that position, cuddling. Chat's low purring was the only sound in the room.
His ring started beeping, and flashed a bright green. Out came Plagg, stretching his arms. "Tiki?" He whispered.
"Over here," came a voice. Plagg caught sight of the cute bug kwami and followed.
"I'm tired, aren't you?" Plagg asked, tiredness visible in his face.
"Yeah, I am." Tiki confessed.
"Alright, well tomorrow let's meet up again while these two kiddos are in class."
"Okay," Tiki said sleepily as she cuddled up to Plagg and fell asleep.
I didn't bother to proofread this. Sorry if there's mistakes. I just have a lot on my mind...
