I'm back with a story post season 5 episode 9 (Elation), if you haven't seen the episode ; don't read this. Warning for major spoilers. Even though with Instagram and other socials, I'm sure everyone know by now.
I can't get the episode of my head so here it is. A way to fix-it/finish it. It'll be a four part story, updated everyday.
"Do you think that, some day, a boy will love me?" Marinette looked deflated at her kwami and sniffed. With the back of her hand, she swept away the tears that were pouring down and soaking her cheeks.
"What exactly happened during my absence, Marinette?" Tikki inquired in a soft, attentive voice. She seemed pretty worried about the present situation.
"Chat Noir and I… we… we kissed."
"You mean on the cheek, right?"
Marinette turned at the sound of Alya's voice coming from behind her. She had already forgotten that her best friend was sleeping over—again. They've been doing that a lot lately. Somehow, Alya's presence was reassuring. Marinette was the unruly storm meanwhile Alya was teaching her how to dance in the rain.
"Like; bisous bisous, miaou miaou ?" Alya inquired as she mimicked a traditional four-cheek-kiss to punctuate each of her words.
"On… on the… mouth," Marinette admitted, her cheeks flushing pink at the memory of his warm, soft lips pressed against hers.
Alya.exe stopped working.
Rebooting.
Still rebooting…
"Wait!" Alya suddenly shouted for the whole world to hear as she awakened from her Marichat induced system crash. "Does it mean that… Chat Noir likes you back?"
Marinette's shoulders slouched as she sighed and looked away. "It… it's complicated," she whispered, echoing Chat Noir's earlier words. "I nearly got akumatized because we can't be together. Chat Noir had to kiss me a second time to get me out of Monarch's hands. It was a close call."
"You both kissed.Twice."
All right. Maybe Alya needed a little more time to unpack all the newfound knowledge. So Marinette just waited quietly, arms folded over her chest until the penny would finally drop. And it did drop after a short while, when Alya's eyes almost popped out of their sockets and nearly joined her jaw on the ground.
"Okay. I've caught up." Alya held a finger up."Ladynoir won't ever sail. Marichat could have, but it's too dangerous, so what's left?"
"There's nothing left. Marinette and Chat Noir are just friends, and Ladybug and Chat Noir too.Point final."Marinette forced a fake smile on her lips.
"Just friends don't kiss unless they're more than friends. Stop lying to yourself, Marinette. You're doing exactly the same as you're doing with Adrien," Alya scolded her, her tone stern and impassive.
"But Adrien never liked me back, Alya. He didn't show up here with a red rose..." She paused, holding a finger up as she began to enumerate her list, "...he never told me that he thought about me all the time…" She unfolded a second finger before a third joined in. "...he never wanted to take me for a romantic walk under the moonlight."
Just thinking about it and looking at the full moon over her head, Marinette was already back in her bittersweet memories, a smitten look glued on her features.
"Because you don't let him! You've been running away from Adrien for days, only to run after Chat Noir!" Alya started to path the balcony, her clenched hands almost pulling her hair off her head. "This is insane. The moment Adrien falls in love with you, you fall out of love with him…" She paused and threw her hands to one side to make her first point. "...and the moment Ladybug falls out of love with her mysterious boy, Chat Noir falls out of love with her, only to fall in love with none other thanMarinette Dupain-Cheng." She threw her hands to the other side, making her second point. "This is getting utterly confusing! Can't you just love each other without the masks?!" She threw her hands in the air, her face showing nothing but annoyance before she froze on the spot, her gaze zeroing on the ladybug kwami. "Hang on. How did Chat Noir fall in love with you, by the way? It's not as if he had much dealings with you at all. Unless Chat Noir is—"
"Chat Noir is coming this way!" Tikki cut Alya's rambling off before rushing to hide behind Marinette's neck.
Both girls turned their gaze towards the shadow which was actually coming their way. Tikki was right. The shape was none other than that of the cat themed hero.
Why was he coming back here tonight? Marinette's heart began to pound so hard it could burst out of her ribcage any moment. The mere thought of him coming back for her, to be with her, to…
"There's an akuma, don't just stand there, go hide! She's after Marinette!"
After Monarch and André...Bad things come in three… Jamais deux sans trois…
