(A/N) Happy Valentine's Day
I know I'm posting a Chapter called 'Heart Break' on Love Day lol sorry not sorry.
This wasn't the chapter I had written out though, I wanted to put more into this and explain it more but I couldn't find a way to end it and it was so short as well, so I written this out instead.
I got inspired by the song Happier by Marshmellow ft Bastille. I also got 3 Ships in this Chapter so I hope you like the mixture.
It's 4am here in Aus so I'm off to hit the hay... goodnight/morning everyone.
Enjoy...
He kissed me!
Marinette smiled to herself, her heart pounding at an accelerating pace. She touched the spot where Chat's soft lips were placed, still feeling that strange tingling sensation.
If Tikki didn't tell her it was real, that it wasn't just her silly mind playing tricks on her. Then she would of thought it was all just a dream.
Thank goodness it wasn't.
The way he looked after her when she was sick, purring while he held her tight made her heart soar with a new fondness towards her partner.
A feeling she never thought was possible to have around him.
Sure her alter-ego had kissed him before, the last time being more intimate then a kiss on the forehead but she was too focus on the job then to appreciate what it really felt like at the time.
A small giggle escaped her mouth as she felt giddy about the newly fond feeling she had towards her partner.
"What's so funny?" Luka asked, sipping his coffee while he stared at the girl in front of him.
Finally coming down from cloud nine, Marinette realised she had been out of it for awhile. "Oh. Umm..." She didn't know what to say to him.
Today was meant to be her first real date with Luka, taking her out to a cafe just down the road from her place.
She just had to be thinking about another boy right now.
What is wrong with me? Marinette thought, whacking her fist against her head lightly.
Luka's eyebrow went up, making the bluenette stop in her tracks, going red in the face, her hand stilled in the air.
Quickly, she tired to cover for herself. "I... uhhh..." looking around the place, her eyes set on her strawberry thickshake that was in front of her. "It just tastes so good."
Her lying skills would be getting as good as Lila's by now if she kept this up.
Luka still looked at her strangely, going silent for a breif moment before he finally spoke. "You haven't even touched it yet!" Luka pointed out, making Marinette hit her head yet again.
Stupid, stupid, stupid. She repeated in her head. Of course she didn't.
Fumbling with another explaination the musican just put up his hand to stop her. Awkward silence then filling the air as he sipped his coffee again.
"You want to talk about the real reason you were spaced out or should I guess?" Luka suggested, giving the bluenette a way to come clean before he said anything to make her feel even worse.
"No..."
Marinette looked back down at her shake, twittling her thumbs in her lap and kicking her foot lightly on the tables leg.
The blue tip boy just smiled at her, he wasn't angry that she hadn't been in this world for the last ten minutes, he was more so curious to know what had put a smile on her face when she hadn't been feeling herself in such a long time.
"It's just nice to see you smiling again, I haven't seen you this happy in a long time."
Marinette looked up at him, guilt wrenching at her heart. "It's nothing." She said slowly in a whisper.
"Can't be nothing." Luka's hand came across the table, thumb running along the top of her hand. "You can tell me you know, I won't judge."
Why did Luka have to be so sweet?
"You will get mad-" Marinette pointed out. "-and I don't want you to be akumatized again."
"Hawkmoth has been dormant for a few weeks now. Besides I can handle it." Luka said sincerely. "I just want your happiness Marinette, nothing more."
"Oh Luka." Placing her face in her hands she let out a strained sob. "I can't hurt you."
He shuffled his chair to her side, allowing the girl to fall awkwardly on his shoulder. The musican rubbed her back, making the fabric of her cardigan crease.
"Why don't we take a walk, clear your mind before you tell me." Luka suggested, getting up before helping Marinette up from her spot.
She nodded and wiped away her stray tears, taking Luka's hand into her own and grabbing her thickshake before she had left.
They strolled down the Seine and towards Marinette's house, taking their time as the walked along the sidewalk. The silence was nice but she felt more guilty every step they took.
This was wrong, it was all wrong. She was meant to move on from Adrien and not interfere with Chat Noir.
Bunnix warned it wasn't the right time to be with him; even though she was still stumped in how that even happened in the first place.
But her heart now yearned for him in a way she never though would happen so anything was possible.
Mixing work with pleasure was never a good combination.
Then here was Luka. He loved her from the moment he met her and wasn't afraid to tell her that. He listen to her cry, was there through her heartbreak, even when things went wrong he never questioned any of it.
He knew silence was all she needed at that moment and he listen to her pain without having to breathe a word.
How could she pass up such a sweet and caring boy?
"Listen." Marinette started, not really thinking about what was coming out of her mouth at that moment. "You know how we talked about soulmates a few months back."
Luka nodded, but kept his focus in front of him.
"Well I..." Marinette couldn't tell him, she just couldn't.
Even if she did explain her feeling towards her partner, she couldn't put a name to him. It was too dangerous.
The musican walked in front of her and stopped, making the girl halt on the spot. He didn't need words to show her he understood, instead his hands wrapped around her frame as he kissed the top of her head lightly.
She stiffen but then complied, snaking her own hands around his body. Her heart beated just a little bit faster with the sudden affection.
No words were spoken as the sun set around them, creating a mixture of colours in the sky. They just held each other tight in an embrace.
"Go get him." Luka said suddenly, making Marinette's eyes snap open. He pulled away from the embrace, hands still on her shoulders as he looked at her in awe. "I said, go get him."
The blunette's mouth was gaped in shock, not fully understanding why. "What... But I..?"
"You don't need to explain Marinette. Whoever this person is has made you happy. I have heard this tune for awhile now and I always question why you picked me when your heart belonged to someone else." Luka smiled but sadness filled his eyes.
He pretended he was okay. Her happiness always his top priority, even if he wasn't the cause of it.
She didn't argue with him, instead crushed him in another tight hug. "Thank you Luka."
Looking back up at him she smile then turned away, running for the closes alleyway to transform.
Luka watched her leave, a tear falling down his cheek. He might not of like his advice but he wanted her to be happier.
Even if that broke his own heart.
It was almost time for Chat's patrol but Marinette didn't want to wait for him to show up on her balcony. Instead she decided her alter-ego would be the best way to tell him how she felt.
The last time didn't work out with her cilvian self.
She was going to do it, confess her feeling to a boy and this time her confidence soared. She was ready to give Chat her heart and let him have the reveal he always wanted.
If Bunnix was going to think this would stuff up time she would show up and stop her now before she arrived at the patrol spot.
But she never showed.
Ladybug was the first one there, excitedly kicking her legs back and forward as they dangled off the rooftop.
She could of sworn time was not on her side though, getting anxious that the clock only moved a few minutes when it felt like she had been sitting there for hours.
It was already dark too.
"Ladybug? What are you doing here." Chat arrived with a rubbery thump, his staff shutting with a clank as he placed behind his back. "It's not your day to patrol."
Ladybug turned towards her partner, a bright smile on her face that clearly showed her pearly whites. How he didn't hear her rapid paced heart, made her count her lucky stars.
"Oh, I know. The night is beautiful isn't it? I just had to come out and enjoy the view." She looked back towards the Paris sky and sighed.
Tell him, tell him now. Her voice rang inside her head over and over.
Chat sat next to her, smiling himself. "It is."
Looking towards her partner again, her breathing stopped. He wasn't looking her way but she just knew then and there in her heart she wanted to be with him.
"Actually." Ladybug started, pulling Chat's attention back towards her. "I'm here for another reason."
The black cladded superhero tilted his head in confusion. "And what would that be for?" He questioned.
You can do it Marinette, just tell him. Be yourself. She screamed to herself.
"I idenity want you." Ladybug let out a quick breath.
Not like that, you idiot! Her brained yelled at her.
Chat's face furrowed at her, the sentence clearly making no sense to him.
Squinting her eyes shut she said it slower this time. "I want to... Know. Your. Identity."
Now he was really confused.
Opening up her eyes again the first thing she saw was Chat's bewielded face. Did she not say it right again?
"Why?" He finally questioned.
Why?
"Umm... cause I'm the guardian." She piped, a little too angrily.
Chat shook the confused look off his face and started again. "I mean why now?"
This was her moment to come clean, no more lies.
Playing with her ribbions she looked away from him, a blush dusting her cheeks. "I just uhh..." Taking a deep breathe she looked his way. "I wanna be with you Chat."
Be with him?
His heart stopped, his face went pale. All his life he wanted those words to come out of Ladybug's mouth, to longingly have her confess her feelings to him.
But it felt wrong.
"No!" Chat said a little bit abruptly.
"No?" Ladybug repeated, giving him a strange look.
The black cladded hero got up from his spot and paced the rooftop. "I just... I can't!" Placing a gloved hand through his hair, Chat sighed.
"Why can't you?" Ladybug asked getting up from her spot as well and walking towards her partner. "I'm giving you my heart Chat, I finally giving in to my feelings and I'm willing to go all in for you."
Stopping he shook his head and looked down at his steel cap boots. "I know, I just can't give you mine."
Ladybug was a bit taken back. Shocked her partner had rejected her confession. "You can't or you won't." Anger was now pooling in her veins.
"I'm in love with someone else okay!" He turned and yelled out to her, fearing the whole neighbourhood had heard him as well.
"Your not with anyone." Ladybug pointed out.
"I just..." He shook on the spot looking away from his red and black polkadot partner. "I'm sorry."
Then he took off without warning. making Ladybug huff in anger.
Grabbing her yo-yo from around her waist, Ladybug took off the opposite way with tears in her eyes. They were blowing into her hair as the wind whipped into her face.
She had made a fool out of herself again.
Luck was not on her side, nothing ever went her way. She had given up the one who gave his all to her just so she could get her heart broken yet again.
It was all a mess.
Landing on her balcony Ladybug collapsed in a kneeling position, taking a shaking breath as her transformation dropped.
She didn't want to cry, didn't want to be angry. Holding it in was her best option unless she wanted to be the next victim for an akuma.
But that was all short lived.
Anger began to rage in her, tears began to run down her cheeks. Tikki watched as her chosen looked up and whacked the first thing that came into contact with her hand.
The flower pot smashed on the ground, startling the bluenette for just a minute until she got up the kicked the coffee table over, followed by another flower pot hitting now the brick wall and her outdoor chair almost up turning off her balcony.
How someone could hurt her heart like Chat did, like Adrien had, really made all those emotions come out in one big tantrum.
There was nothing left to kick over or smash so the bluenette fell on her knees and let out a loud sob. Hands cover her face as the tears streamed down over her fingertips.
The purple butterfly came her way, getting closer and closer with each flap. Tikki tried to snap Marinette out of it, to warn her chosen about the danger behind her, but she was in hysterics, the crying only getting louder by the second.
The kwami quickly removed her earrings and phased into her room, waiting for the damaged to happen. Instead what the red bug heard next made her sigh in relief.
"Cataclysm!"
Catching the butterfly with his destructive hand, Chat quickly wrapped his other arm around Marinette.
The bluenette was startled and looked towards her partner. "C-Chat!" She said between sobs.
Anger pooled through again and instead of taking in his embrace, Marinette pushed him away.
"Leave me alone." She yelled at him, getting up and walking away from him.
"Princess what's wrong, speak to me." Chat tried to touch her again instead she whacked his clawed hand away.
"Go away." Marinette yelled again, surely grabbing some attention from people that living around her.
He attempted again, only this time managing to snake his arms around her, holding onto her tightly.
"Marinette speak to me."
The bluenette struggled in his grip, punching his chest as she cried. "Just leave me alone, Chat, please!"
He wasn't going to leave her in the state she was in. "That's not happening. Your too upset to be left alone. I'm not leaving your side."
With no hope in making him leave, Marinette fell into the ground, bring the black cladded hero with her.
Sobs still shook her body as Chat ran his fingers through her hair, untying her piggy tails and making her hair hang loose around her shoulders.
He really loved her hair down, it suited her.
Placing a shaky kiss on her hair, Marinette jumped at the sudden affection, looking up towards her partner.
Chat looked back at her, a worried on his face. What came next was a total shock to him.
Marinette kissed him.
Lips connected in the most awkward way, salty tears were mixing through with saliva but Chat didn't care, instead he melted into her lips, fully appreciating every new feeling that was electrifying his senses.
The bluenette pulled away, making Chat whimper from the loss of warmth from her soft lips.
He wanted her, he wanted more.
It felt so right at that moment, even if he told himself to stay away from her and let her be happy with Luka, Chat knew he couldn't do that anymore.
Marinette was all he wanted, he loved her.
Biting her lip, Marinette finally made eye contact with him, seeing the shock in his face. "Sorry, I..."
Before she could finish that sentence he had kissed her again, this time holding her with a firm grip
Fingers ran through his hair, deepening the kiss that made her heart pound a million miles per second. This was happening and it felt so right.
But in the wrong way.
The beeping of Chat's ring pulled them out of the moment. Making the two of them freeze on the spot.
It was on its final paw, going ballistic through the silent air and neither of them had time to do anything about it.
Marinette gripped him tightly and closed her eyes, cradled in his arms. Chat placed his back against the railing, holding onto her firmly as his transformation dropped.
"I won't look." Marinette said, knowing full well he didn't want to reveal himself earlier.
Adrien kissed her hair before he rested his chin on her head. "I know princess." He whispered, smiling to himself. "I know."
