Appointment?
Normal POV.
Marinette froze as she stared back at the blond with wide eyes. Of all the times in the world for her luck to vanish it happens when she's trying to quickly get out of the mansion without having to run into Adrien.
"M..Marinette?" He called out once again. She instantly snapped out of her stupor and smiled at the boy.
"O..oh hi Adrien." She started. "I..thought you might have been asleep."
Adrien's eyes furrowed with confusion. "Its not far past 8 o'clock. Its still pretty early."
She watched as he took in her appearance once again as if he was trying to contemplate something.
"Are you...going somewhere?" He asked.
"Um..."
"I...I mean of course your going somewhere... I m..mean why else...would you be dressed...not that you don't look nice or anything! You look great!"
Beautiful actually... He wanted to add but couldn't bring himself to do so.
"Oh.." The blunette blushed. "Thank you."
Adrien stepped out into the hall bringing himself a little closer.
"Um..if you don't mind me asking...where are you heading off to?"
"Oh...um..I have a...appointment." It didn't seem like much a big deal, but for some reason she didn't want to tell Adrien about her date that was supposed to help her get over him.
"Appointment? So late?" Adrien questioned.
"Yeah." Marinette replied. "I don't want to be late so I should get going."
"Do you have a way to get there?"
"Um..its not that far I can walk."
The blond shook his head at that. "No way. I'll call my driver and have him pick you up out front. Just tell him where you want to go."
"Oh..okay. Thanks again." She began to walk away but stopped when she felt Adrien grab her arm.
She looked up at the blond. His green eyes looked intense as he stared down at her. It was the same look she got when Chat Noir got serious.
"Before you go..." He said. "I just wanted to tell you. If any things bothering you...anything at all please don't hesitate to tell me. I'll listen."
He smiled at her. "I'm here for you...even when you don't know its me."
Her eyes widen a little as the familiarity of his words rung in her ears.
Did he just...no it couldn't be.
She shook the thought from her head and gave him a smile. A real, genuine, smile. Sure he got to see it last night as Chat, but he kinda missed seeing it as Adrien.
"Thank you Adrien. I appreciate it."
To his surprise and her own she leaned forward and gave him a quick peck on the cheek before turning away.
"I'll be back a little later tonight...maybe tomorrow we could stay up and watch a movie together?" She suggested.
"Y..yeah." Adrien replied shaking himself out of his daze.
"Goodnight Adrien." With that she left down the hall.
"Night..." He watched her disappear around the corner and went back inside his room closing the door.
Plagg watched the blond as he touched a spot on his cheek and turned red.
"What's up with you?"
Adrien didn't answer. He picked up his phone off his desk and sent a message to his driver.
Where the hell could she be going though?
That's when thoughts from last night came back. The man on her computer. Could she be going off to meet with him?
If so...why would she dress like...
That's when it hit him. This so called 'appointment' of hers was more than what she let on.
He didn't know why it bothered him that she was doing this, but it did, and he was more than concern of what kind of situation she could be getting into.
Not everyone you find online is to be trusted...
With that said, there shouldn't be anything wrong with a certain feline hero to check up on her to make sure she's safe right?
"Plagg! Claws out!"
