Chapter 5.
Prompts 21 -25
21. Movie Night
As she was the Hero of Paris, Marinette could definitely say that never once would ever aspire to be a villain. But damn her if she wasn't inspired after watching Emma Stone strut her stuff as Cruella Deville.
And Chat only made matters worse by leading her into the same song and dance that Rodger led Anita into in the original, all goofiness and lyrics included, all complete with the kiss that made everything down from the top of her head in her curl.
22. Cosplay
Which is what empowered Marinette to channel her inner Cruella and practically dominate her entrance into the Bourgeois' annual Masquerade Ball in the same manner and ensemble' that said Villain debuted in at the Baroness' Black and White Ball.
With an original, detailed matching suit handmade for her kitty as well. After all, every Princess needed an escort. According to Alya, who of course always had a phone at the ready, the blog crashed from the reviews.
23. Video Games
"Wait, wait, wait, so in this game, imposters are people who also perform tasks in the Skeld but not really because their list is fake and really just a means of sabotage and a cover so they can kill their other crewmates. And if one of said crewmates dies, they become a ghost and can do the same thing as either a crewmates or an imposter, just with the added bonus of being able to go through walls and have unlimited vision. And the only way to really win the game is by getting rid of the imposters or crewmates depending on which side you're on or just quitting the game altogether?"
"Yeah!" Marinette grinned brightly. "Fun, right!?"
". . . Okay, just explain Among Us to me one more time, and take it slow."
24. Jealousy
Chat had snapped out of his seething glare when Marinette's just as irritated blue-eyed scowl looked down on him from where she found him hiding in a bush. Before he could get a word in, she hissed, "Chat Noir, this possessive tendency of yours is cute when I have nothing important to do but, like it or not, I do actually need to work with Luka and the others when working on outfits for Kitty Section. So, either go home or deal with it and stop looking at him like he's the last slice of cheese on a party platter."
Plagg had a good long laugh about that as soon as soon they got home and de-transformed, never mind that Adrien was pouting over his Princess.
25. Study
Adrien, admittedly, was not the sharpest tool in the shed. Anybody who knew him wholeheartedly agreed with said fact, if his complete obliviousness to Marinette's crush on him was proof enough. And Chat Noir was hardly anybody better, despite being much less reserved and less likely to sit still for two minutes straight.
But with time, he could pick up little things; like how both his princess and his Lady both had a habit of being temperamental when provoked. How they both were passionate in the way of doing what's right in the face of injustice. And how they both had a cute habit of gnawing on their lower lip when they thinking up a storm, a new dress and a new battle plan respectfully.
It would be three months before he would finally figure out why they had those little things in common and so much more.
ME: Yeah, I'm just as confused about Among Us as Chat is – By which, I mean NO offense, I'm just being honest.
