Marinette POV

I have this thing where I wake up in the middle of the night. Sometimes I go right back to sleep, other times I would can't and I would try to tire myself out with making designs.

I'm sewing the finishing touches to a design I have been working on for weeks now, when I hear a knock on my window.

I look up to see Chat Noir perched outside my window once again.

I'm a little surprised to see him this soon after what happened at the Pont de Arts bridge, but I can't stop the giddy feeling I'm getting from seeing him again.

I head over and push the window open. He jumps right inside and stands in front of me.

"Hi..."

"Hi." I say with a smile.

"Um..." He rubs the back of his neck nervously. "I'm a little surprised to see you awake at this time."

"Oh really?" I laughed. "Well if you thought I was sleep. Why did you come?"

"I...I don't know." He said looking towards the floor.

There's something about seeing the confident and charming Chat Noir acting like a nervous school boy that amuses me. I'm surprised that I'm not just as flustered given that he almost kissed me earlier.

"So what do I owe the pleasure of this visit?" I turn around and head back to finish the dress I was working on.

"Well" he started. "I guess I just wanted to ask a couple of questions."

"Curiousity killed the-"

"Satisfaction my dear princess."

I giggled and I can see him visibly relax from the corner of my eye.

He comes closer observing my work as he continues. "I wanted to ask about your little...date."

I raise an eyebrow at him. "Okay? Shoot."

"Well did you have...fun?" He asked.

I thought for a moment. "I did. Michael, that's his name by the way, he was a complete gentleman. He's been around the world and I found out that he's American."

"Hmm..." He seemed to be contemplating something. "Why?"

"Why what?"

"Why did you decide to do this online dating thing in the first place?"

"Well..." I could feel my face turn pink. "In all honesty... I was kind of...trying to get over someone."

Chats eyes widen at my confession. "You...like someone?"

"Liked." I corrected. "I mean I still like him, but I'm slowly getting over it. I kind of had to come to terms recently that he's pretty much out of my league."

He blinked. "If you don't mind me asking...who's the guy you had to get over?"

I chuckled a little, mainly from embarrassment. "You might think I'm crazy but...its actually the boy here that I live with...Adrien Agreste."

Adrien POV

Im back in my room, staring at the ceiling as i continue to replay the events from an hour ago.

Adrien? As in 'Agreste'?

"Um yes?" She gives a small laugh. "I'm more than positive that that's the only 'Adrien' who lives here."

My face grows hot at the thought of it all.

"So...what made you want to g..get over him?"

"Like I said, he's way out of my league. He's an amazing friend and super fun to hang out with, but he'll never see me that way. You know what I mean?"

I nodded. Although I'm still trying to process what she's saying.

She pokes my nose and I look up and her to see her smiling bright.

"Don't look so down kitty. Its okay, I'm getting over it. I was really down about it for awhile but I'm doing better."

She giggles, my heart starts to rapid fire.

"My friend Alya, actually had this idea to try and make him jealous with the online dating thing. I doubt it would've worked anyway."

I can't believe it. All this time Marinette had feelings for me.

Well...HAD feelings for me.

I groan. How come I never saw it? I feel like kicking myself right now.

The fact that Marinette, this amazing, talented, and pretty...no beautiful girl, saw me as someone who was 'out of her league.'

I couldn't help, but chuckle at the thought. I remember how I always saw Ladybug as this untouchable being who I didn't seem to have a chance with. Is that how Marinette saw me?

Did my affection for Ladybug blind me from something I could have possibly started with Marinette?

My head is pounding right now. If I keep this up I might not get any sleep tonight.

I reach over for the glass of water on my nightstand and decide to pop a couple of sleeping pills.

Maybe this will help me feel at ease
