Chapter 51,

Melodic melodies filled the air as the high schoolers entered the dance. Adrien was actually early, before the others, which he was thankful for. He dressed up as Ranboo for his costume, complete with gloves and a cardboard head to mimic his Minecraft skin. He was completely hidden within this costume; which his partly why he chose it. He wanted to be with Marinette tonight, and he wanted to have fun. He still wasn't sure if he wanted to present himself as Adrien or Cat Noir. Adrien stayed on the second level of the school, wondering as he tried to make his decision. He stopped at a light and watched the couples dance below him. Why does this have to be so complicated. Why does he have to decide between Adrien and Cat Noir? Why can't he just start fresh and be himself?

"I love your costume." A voice pulled him from his thoughts. He turned and saw those familiar bluebell eyes that made his heart race.

"Marinette, you-"

Wow, she looked like she just stepped out of a fairy tale. Her hair was half-down, and half-braided back, her dress and her skin sparkled almost as brightly as hereyes, and her lips were painted red, making her smile look lovingly crafted by a master.

"There are no words." Adrien finished and she blushed at this compliment.

"It's a little hard to tell who you are when you're wearing that." Marinette said and Adrien smiled and did a little bow.

"My beloved princess, I am known as Ranboo." Adrien said and Marinette giggled.

"Isn't 'princess' a little much?" Marinette asked and Adrien rubbed the back of his neck.

"Well, I could call you Queen if you'd like. With the way you're dressed, you're no doubt royalty." Adrien said and Marinette blushed sweetly at him.

"Ok. Princess is fine... Ranboo... but just for tonight." Marinette said and Adrien held his arm out to her.

"Perhaps I could treat your highness to a beverage?" Adrien said. Marinette hesitated for a moment, but then she smiled and accepted his arm.

"I'd like that." She said simply. They weren't even at the stairs when Marinette got a phone call. Confused, she opened her purse and blinked when she saw that Alya was calling her.

"Hey, Alya, what's up?" Marinette asked.

"Girl don't come down the stairs yet." Alya said quickly and Marinette stopped.

"Why shouldn't I come down?" Marinette said, and Adrien looked over at Marinette and then out into the crowd to find Alya.

"Trust me, just wait a minute." Alya said excitedly and Marinette rose an eyebrow.

"I don't think I should with that tone of voice." Marinette said and Alya chuckled.

"Hey I think I see Alya over there." Adrien said and pointing so Marinette can see her.

"Alya what are you dressed as?" Marinette asked and Alya stopped moving a moment. She was almost directly across from them, on the second level. She was wearing a blue jean jacket, a greyish v-neck shirt or tank top, black pants, and had fake blood on her head, neck and some on her clothes.

"Sidney Prescott from Scream. It makes more sense when I'm standing next to Nino Craven." Alya said and Marinette rolled her eyes.

"More scary movies?" She asked annoied and Alya chuckled.

"Hey Marinette... What's your favorite scary movie?" Alya said in a gruff voice that confused Marinette.

"Excuse you?" Marinette asked and Alya busted out laughing.

"Nevermind." Alya said and Marinette shook her head at this nonsense.

"I'm getting a little frustrated at this, Alya. I just wanted to relax and dance with Mr. Boo here, and you don't want us downstairs? What's the big deal?" Marinette asked and Alya grabbed something beside her.

"You." Alya said. She hung up the call and shifted one of the spotlights up to shine on Marinette and Adrien. The whole room turned to look at this couple, and Marinette looked at Adrien.

"I can't believe she did this. Actually I can, but I don't know if I can handle this." Marinette whispered and she looked so adorable.

"Don't worry. With a suit as stunning as mine, they'll never even look at you." Adrien said and Marinette giggled at the unexpected comment. She gave Adrien's 'cheek' a small kiss and they started walking down the stairs. Somebody took the opportunity to start playing a slow song, as they descended.

Grew up in a small town, and when the rain would fall down; I'd just stare out my window.

The song rang out. Adrien gently gave Marinette's' hand a reassuring pat when they reached the bottom of the stairs.

Dreamin' of what could be; And if I'd end up happy; I would pray.

Adrien slowly led Marinette to the dance floor.

Trying hard to reach out; But when I tried to speak out; Felt like no one could hear me.

The crowd backed away and gave them some space to dance.

"Everyone's watching us." Marinette whispered.

Wanted to belong here; But something felt so wrong here.

Adrien gently placed a hand on her face.

"Keep your eyes on me." Adrien requested and something felt so familiar when he said that. She looked at him and started to relax, even when he held her in a traditional dancing stance.

So I pray. I could breakaway.

"I won't let anything happen to you." Adrien said wholeheartedly. As she stared at this cardboard box, she took a deep breath and got ready to dance.

I'll spread my wings, and I'll learn how to fly; I'll do what it takes till I touch the sky; And I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change, and breakaway.

Marinette and her mystery man glided across the dance floor. The rest of the world almost seemed frozen as they danced. And Marinette never experienced anything like it.

Out of the darkness and into the sun; But I won't forget all the ones that I love; I'll take a risk, take a chance, make a change, and breakaway.

When Marinette focused, she could see her partner's pale green eyes... there was something so familiar about them.

Wanted to feel the warm breeze; Sleep under a palm tree; Feel the rush of the ocean.

"Do I know you?" Marinette asked and Adrien chuckled.

"Yes... and no..." He whispered.

Get on board a fast train; Travel on a jet plane; Faraway; And breakaway.

"Are you gonna tell me who you are?" Marinette and Adrien shook his head.

"No, it's more fun this way." He replied.

I'll spread my wings, and I'll learn how to fly; I'll do what it takes till I touch the sky; And I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change, and breakaway.

"Hm. What if I guessed?" Marinette suggested.

"What if we just have a fun night together." He suggested, and he held Marinette close to him. She tensed slightly, but relaxed when she discovered how comforting this felt.

Out of the darkness and into the sun; I won't forget all the ones that I love; I gotta take a risk, take a chance, make a change, and breakaway.

Marinette rested her head on 'Ranboo's' chest. She could see the crowd staring at them, but it didn't bother her so much now. And then she saw Alya and Nino step onto the dance floor with them.

Building with a hundred floors; Swinging-round revolvin' doors. Maybe I don't know where they take me.

Other couples made their way unto the floor and danced.

But gotta keep movin' on, movin' on; Fly away, breakaway.

"Song's almost over." Marinette stated.

I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly, though it's not easy to tell you goodbye.

"Yeah... And I still owe you a drink." Adrien said.

I gotta take a risk, take a chance, make a change, and breakaway.

"I guess you do." She said.

Out of the darkness and into the sun. But I won't forget the place I come from."

"Unless, of course... you wanna keep dancing." Adrien suggested.

I gotta take a risk, take a chance, make a change, and breakaway. Breakaway. Breakaway.

"I'd like that." Marinette said.

The song faded away and the room filled with applause. Marinette and Adrien giggled slightly at the attention they were getting, and offered the crowd a small wave. And then they turned back to each other and as the next song played, they only focused on one another.
