Nathanael ran into his room, sat on his bed looking completely disheveled with his tie undone and the collar of his shirt unbuttoned, after settling down he turned on his laptop. A few seconds of ringing then Rose and Juleka popped up on different video chat screens both looking dressed for bed, "I am going to die, you two will write me a wonderful eulogy, and they will play My Chemical Romance as they lower me into the ground."
"Sounds lit," Juleka grinned, "I take it this has something to do with that Instagram picture Marinette posted with you tagged in it?"
"We went on a date, she kept flirting with me, I felt like my heart was going to explode," Nathanael raked his fingers through his hair.
"But did you have fun?" asked Rose.
"Of course I did, the past week has been the best week of my life," Nathanael answered.
"Then what are you scared of?" asked Rose.
"She's coming over tomorrow and I'm absolutely terrified for her to meet my mom, Alix and Kim showed up on our date and I had to tell her where I work and why they call me daddy, and we held hands with my left hand!" Nathanael explained.
"I'm happy you guys held hands but why your left hand?" asked Juleka.
"Because I draw with my left hand and I'm pretty sure Marinette could break my hand if she really wanted to, but at the same time art is the most important thing in the world to me and someday maybe Marinette will be too, I mean she's already my inspiration any way so," Nathanael shrugged.
"Aww, you're in love," Rose cooed.
"Am I? That's a scary thought," Nathanael ran a hand through his hair.
"Is your hair pulled back because Marinette likes it that way?" asked Juleka.
"Yeah," Nathanael blushed.
"Whipped, I'm calling it right now, you are whipped!" Juleka announced as Rose giggled.
"I'm just going to change the subject," Nathanael blushed, "How do I tell Marinette that my mom is my mom?"
"Any way you feel is right," Rose smiled.
"Text her right now, no thoughts no regrets," Juleka spoke taking a swing of Monster.
"You've had too much energy drink," Nathanael rolled his eyes.
"If I second it will you do it?" asked Rose.
"How am I supposed to text Marinette and be like 'By the way I'm lying to everyone in our class and our teacher is my mom and only me, Rose, and Juleka know about it' she'll think I'm crazy," Nathanael fell onto his back on his bed in frustration.
"More crazy then when she comes over tomorrow to see her teacher in your kitchen?" Rose questioned.
"Good point," Nathanael sat up and got his phone, "Dear Marinette."
"Absolutely not," Juleka shook her head.
"Hey?" Nathanael suggested.
"Just say 'Hi, um, I have to tell you something'," Rose instructed.
"That's not something I would say," Nathanael argued.
"That is 110% something you would say," Juleka laughed.
"Okay fine," Nathanael typed the message and sent it, "She's probably asleep."
"I'm willing to bet she's on the phone with Alya gushing about your date," Juleka smirked.
"I wish," Nathanael's phone went off and he jumped, "She responded."
"What did she say?" Rose asked.
"Sure, what is it," Nathanael answered, "I'm just going to say Miss Bustier is my mom."
"Yeah, just say that," Juleka nodded, "Like a bandage."
There was a knock at Nathanael's door and his mom Caline Bustier peaked her head in the door, "Are you telling Rose and Juleka about your date?"
"I already did, they're helping me tell Marinette that you're my mom," Nathanael answered.
"Let me see," Caline sat on the bed next to her son and started reading the text exchanged, "She's typing."
"You should have seen the fear in Nathanael's eyes when you said that," Rose giggled.
"She says she believes you but she has a lot of questions, Honey it's quite a story," Caline spoke making Rose and Juleka laugh, "So girls why don't you tell me how Nathanael's date when."
"Oh no," Nathanael blushed as he took his phone back and typed a response to Marinette.
"They held hands," Rose announced.
"Awww, my baby is growing up," Caline hugged Nathanael making him blush.
"I told Marinette I'll explain tomorrow because it's a long story and she said okay," Nathanael reported.
"Alright dear, make sure you go to bed on time, you have work in the morning," Caline kissed Nathanael on the forehead and left the room.
"Do you feel better about tomorrow now that Marinette knows your dark secret?" asked Juleka.
"Yeah, I knew she would understand, I've just kept this a secret for so long that telling people is weird," Nathanael shrugged.
"You'll have to tell us about the date tomorrow," Rose smiled.
"I will, night guys," Nathanael waved to Rose and Juleka, closed his laptop, and went to bed.
I hadn't realized this chapter was so short so I'm going to post it now and post another tomorrow, I hope you had an awesome Thanksgiving, why don't you tell me one thing you are thankful for in the reviews?
