Chapter 8: Sunset

I'm really sorry about how long its taken me to update. I've just been really busy with school work and I'd run out of ideas. Now I'm going to continue my story. :)

A big thanks to all the people who have read, followed, faved or reviewed my story. It means a lot to me and gave me the motivation to continue the story.

Thank you all so much and I hope you enjoy chapter 8!

(With Marinette and Adrien)

Marinette watched in anticipation as Adrien opened the book. The first design was of a quite simple looking black dress with one strap and a bow around the waist. Although it wasn't exactly Marinette's style she still found the design choses very interesting. There were also little notes on the side like 'use soft fabric' and 'ends just over knee height'.

"That one, father made for my mum. She wore it very often." Adrien stated, softly. He then glancing at the framed photograph beside her bed. That picture had her wearing that same dress in it.

Adrien flipped the page and smiled. "This one is a hat that he'd entered in a very strict fashion design competition. He'd won. It was very early in his career when he did this and I think it was the main thing that contributed to getting him famous."

Marinette nodded with fascination as her trained eyes examined the dark blue hat. She had seen the same hat in quite a few clothing stores and it was NOT cheap.

Adrien then continued to show pages and pages of his father's designs with Marinette captivatingly examining all of them with curiosity in her light blue eyes. There were unique designs of all different types of clothing items, a majority of them being dresses, tops, pants and hats. Near the end of the book, Adrien was embarrassed to see a photograph of him at the age of around four wearing a stylish green sweater with a pair of very classy looking jeans. This made Marinette laugh.

Adrien closed the book once they had finished and carefully put it away. The two then smiled at each other before leaving the room.

"Last one there has to sing a song in front of the whole class tomorrow!" Marinette challenged, getting into a running position.

Adrien smirked, "You're on."

(With Plagg and Tikki)

Once they'd finally left the piano, Tikki had learnt to play 3 songs. One of them being a duet with Plagg. It had been so fun…until she tripped and almost fell off the piano. However, due to her powers and Plagg's help she had easily been able to regain her balance. It had been pretty embarrassing, but also kind of funny.

Plagg and Tikki were currently staring out the window to a perfect view of the beautiful city they lived in. It was getting late and the sun was slowly disappearing behind the buildings causing the sky to be filled with shades of orange, yellow, pink and purple.

'It's beautiful.' Plagg thought to himself. 'Although not as beautiful as the girl beside me.' Plagg then instinctively looked beside him. Heat instantly rose to his cheeks as he stared at Tikki with a love-struck expression, unable to look away. She looked like she was glowing as she peacefully stared at the sunset. Plagg internally sighed in pure bliss. He had REALLY missed her.

It felt like he'd been stuck in an endless pit of darkness, and then Tikki had came along and helped him out so he could see the light. Then to his shock and extreme embarrassment, Tikki's deep blue eyes looked away from the perfect view to look at him. Plagg couldn't stop his bright green eyes from widening as he stared into Tikki's blue ones.

Tikki looked out to the sunset. It really was a spectacular view. She was so glad Plagg wasn't angry at her about yesterday night and she was so SO relieved that he hadn't bought up the topic. She didn't know how she'd explain it to him.

This was perfect. Seeing Plagg was a gift in itself, but this was amazing! Plagg was amazing!

She then turned to look at him and was surprised when Plagg's amazingly bright green eyes stared back at her. She blushed as she gazed into his eyes, not really sure what to say or do. Then Plagg looked away bashfully making Tikki giggle. Why was Plagg acting like this? She didn't mind though, despite absolutely loved his confident banter and possibly flirty comments. Seeing him so…anxious and nervous made the intent to snuggle up to him even harder to hold back. One day, Plagg would drive her crazy, if she wasn't already crazy that is.

Tikki internally sighed, she had hugged Plagg once, well technically Plagg hugged her. It had been on his birthday when she had given him a piece of cheese. She would remember that hug forever, even if it had happened a VERY long time ago.

Tikki then unintentionally realized that only hugging Plagg once in the millions of years they'd known each other wasn't really a good thing. Sure the hug was AMAZING, but if Plagg never really hugged her then… No, she COULDN'T think like that! It saddened her too much and slowly depleted all her self-confidence!

Great now she was worrying!

She just needed to be calm. If Plagg liked her, it would be the most AMAZING THING EVER! But if he didn't…

Plagg was honestly trying his best to stay confident and not get too nervous, but it wasn't really working, so he decided all he had to do was pretend he was calm and confident, even though inside he felt like he was melting into a love-struck puddle of goo.

He finally looked up at Tikki, to see her biting her lip as she looked down. She looked kind of sad or maybe worried. He couldn't just float there and do nothing, he had to at least try to help her.

"Tikki?"

This made her look at him and realized she was letting her fears and anxiety show. Why did Plagg sound so caring, usually Plagg acted like he couldn't care less about anything. Although she knew he felt a lot more than he let on. He had the biggest heart, but he tried to hide it for some reason. However, now he was openly showing that he cared about something, and that thing being her. This made Tikki blush lightly.

"Yeah?" Asked Tikki in a reasonably cheerful voice. Just by Plagg caring about her, she was happy again, even if there was an overwhelmingly high chance that he didn't care for her in the same way she cared for him.

Plagg was extremely confused when Tikki looked happy again. It didn't make any sense! If she was trying to hide her low mood, he would be able to find it out quite easily. She was a terrible liar. If Tikki hadn't just become creepily good at hiding her feelings, it was safe to say Tikki was happy again.

Then Plagg realised it had been quite a few seconds and he still hadn't replied. "Uhh…I-I thought you were…N-Nevermind…" Plagg stuttered before trailing of at the end. He REALLY should have thought about what he was going to say before he'd said THAT. Any words were better than that mess. Plagg looked down in embarrassment, a light blush on his cheeks.

Tikki listen and tried her best to hold in a laugh, she doubted she had ever heard him sound so nervous before! She felt like beating him up just so he'd stop being so cute. He was driving her crazy! She swore any more of his cuteness would cause her to faint from a cuteness overload!

"You're so sweet." Tikki told him with a smirk before she could doubt herself or become too nervous to say it.

Plagg blushed, but other than that, he didn't let any of his shock or happiness at her kinds words show.

"Not as sweet as you sugarcube." Plagg replied with a wink.

Tikki flushed. "H-Huh-"

Then Adrien's bedroom door flew open, making both kwami's gasp.

Marinette ran in with Adrien following behind looking quite sour. "Yes! I won!" Marinette exclaimed punching her fist into the air, although she stopped as she saw Tikki and Plagg. After all that time spent with Adrien, she had forgotten she left Tikki and Cat Noir's kwami in the same room…Together…Alone. She smirked as she quickly took in there expressions.

They both looked shocked to say the least. Marinette had just met Plagg, but it was already clear to her that he at least felt something above friendship for Tikki. He was blushing like crazy and his green eyes were wide. She had this feeling that she'd just ruined a moment between them. She'd have to ask Tikki about that later.

On the other hand, she could have sworn Tikki was blushing, Marinette could see it clearly from the other side of the room. Just like Plagg, Tikki's eyes were wide. However, she looked quite a bit more shy than Plagg. She had a sneaking suspicion that Plagg had said something to her to make her like that.

Although what she really found strange was that they were both just staring at each other in shock instead of at her and Adrien who had just barged into the room. She didn't care what the reason was to this, she just found it adorable.

She turned to look at Adrien who was grinning beside her. Adrien found there expressions HILAROUS and he was using all of his self-control to prevent himself from laughing. There expressions were priceless! They were both blushing, well at least he thought Tikki was blushing. Their looks of shock were so funny! They held the expressions of being caught doing something wrong, however Adrien was pretty sure they had both been just talking. With Plagg being so unsure last night and them being quite a few millenniums old (Adrien was almost sure Plagg had had a crush on Tikki for a pretty long time) he doubted one of them would confess just like that!

Adrien couldn't wait until the day the two confessed to each other, but for now he was perfectly happy with teasing Plagg to no end and watching the two kwami's blush and stutter in each others company.
