Thank you so much for the support, you are all so amazing!

Everyone gathered around to see the famous Chat noir with roses waiting in front of the Collège Françoise Dupont.

No matter how much people wanted to know he remained his seemingly calm self even as people gathered around and took pictures and gossiped if he was there for Marinette or Lila

It was at this awful nerve-wracking period of waiting for his bugaboo that he realized how tired he was. Adrien´s night had been long with him planning and preparing than he also had to start his day early so that he had time to do everything.

As soon as he arrived at school he immediately excused himself from Alya and Nino claiming to be going to the bathroom. He didn't have time to waste because he still had gorgeous red roses to buy and also give them to Marinette before classes started.

He transformed in search of the prettiest roses. This was going to take a while but he was hoping that she would be slightly late and he would have time to catch her once she arrived And for his luck she still wasn´t there when he arrived. He once more looked at the flowers, praying she would like them.

He messed up his hair even more and did his best to remain calm. On the outside, he seemed chilled and cool but inside he was freaking out. He repeated to himself over and over that it was just Marinette but that was the problem. Ladybug wasn't a stranger. She was amazing Marinette. If he screwed up he would lose the love of his life and one of his best and closest friends at the same time. But the payoff, if the case he succeeded, would be huge because it would make Marinette go from just a friend to a girlfriend.

Suddenly as to snatch him back to reality his cat hears picked up Marinette´s voice at a distance " I´m going to be so late...why did I oversleep? why did my alarm didn't go off ..."

Taking a deep breath, he waited for her to actually come in the school to then start walking towards her. His pace was slow but confident while she was a fast running suddenly she saw him and did her best to slow down It worked and she stopped barely in time not to fall over him.

" What are you doing here ?" she asked now noticing people hadn't gone to class and instead were just waiting to see what was going on. Everyone eyes were on her and that made her nervous

" Wanted to spend time with my girlfriend " He answered with a bright smile and she saw the roses on his hands

" what ? " she gasped surprised. Was this a joke? Was she still sleeping?

With his classic yet oddly reassuring grin he told her "Don't be afraid, princess. Now that everyone knows we are together we can finally show our love "

In slow motion, he began leaning for a kiss. Just as he expected however to his disappointment, she pushed him away slightly. She also had a plan of her own

"NO! We can't be together. we have to end this. I´m sorry but it´s too dangerous for me. You can't date a civilian, I can't even kiss you goodbye because it would hurt too much. It's over " She stated while clearing some tears of her eyes.

He held back a laugh seeing her fast thinking and acting skills work together was amazing. It was hard to believe this girl was his lady. How was it possible that he still knew so little about her? Even now he was learning new things about her; she was a terrible liar.

"No. I will protect you with my nine lives because you are the one I love "

Despite trying to play his part he still spoke truly and kneeled. He also wasn't the best actor, for some reason he nerve went from model to the big screen like his mother and that was because he also was terrible with acting but he didn´t need to be good because his words were as honest as they come

"Chat " she was about to finish with everything but he stopped her with those green eyes and by giving her the flowers. She knew him well enough to see through his flirting and jokes and could tell there was meaning behind his words. Was he beginning to fall for her civilian self?

As if to prove her right with a blush he spoke

"The roses don't compare to your are beauty. I guess what I am trying to say is please don't leave me "

Now it was her turn to blush. Her plan was to end this right now but here she was all flustered. The fact everyone had an aww look on everyone´s face also didn´t help

"hum … hum " she babbled

Slowly and nervously he got up and placed his arm around her. She didn´t react and merely followed along as he began taking her for a stride

" what exactly are you planing? why did you do all of this" she whispered as they walked away from curious eyes and into the locker rooms.

"First because you deserve gifts and second I´m doing this because I´m hoping this will make me and ladybug closer. If I am with someone so pretty and amazing like you that will allow me to prove to her I´m boyfriend material "

" So you aren't in love with me ?"

"you know I only have eyes for the girl behind the ladybug mask " He answered with a grin

" That's a relieve. Listen about the lie I was only trying to get Lila away. I never wanted this to be a real thing. There is this boy I love and fake dating you kinda messes it up "

"Don't worry, I promise to help you with Adrien " Chat smirks

She gasped " You know ?"

"Who doesn't ? " he asked, repeating the same words Plagg had told him when he arrived home and questioned his kwami about Marinette being Ladybug and his civilian self being her crush.

"Fine but how are you going to help ?"

" Give me a chance. Let me take you on a date…" she was quick to give him a suspicious look but he was even faster to save it "this is just to make our relation seem legit, in return, I promise you a completely romantic date with Adrien"

Marinette laughed " How exactly are you going to do that ?"

" Trust me. Adrien and I are very close "

"Don't believe you? "she said crossing her arms. She knew Chat to be trustworthy and loyal but it was just too good to be true. There was no way Adrien would be friends with chat.

"Would I ever lie to you ?" He asked

This made Marinette rethink. Adrien was friends and nice with everyone and maybe Chat had saved his life or something. That was just the amazing kind of man he was being able to get along with all people

" No, so I guess the only thing to determine is when are we going on a date? "

Happier than a kid during Christmas he answered "Tomorrow. I would say for you to dress pretty but you look breathtaking in anything so ."

She rolled her eyes at him but he quickly kissed her hand. The way he did that mixed with all the flirting he did finally got to her and made her blush She cursed her cheeks and those total cheep lines. She almost as was red as her ladybug suit.

With that, he gave her a kiss on her burning cheek and left or so she thought because he actually just closed the door and eased dropped to the rest

" I ...can't believe his nerve ...he … he ...just ... and then ...how can " She mumbled while smelling the roses

Tikki flew out seeing the incoherence sentences on her master "Are you okay ?"

" I'm ...fine and I'm only doing this for chat … I meant Adrien. This is just so that I can have my date with chat ...Adrien. My feelings are for Chadrien ... Adrichat ... Adrien "

" Are you sure you are okay ?" Tikki asked clearly not believing Marinette

" Absolutely , You think roses and flattery are what will make fall in love with chat? He is too childish, immature and says way too many puns, unlike Adrien. Oh, perfect Adrien. Have I ever told you how perfect he is? "

Chat although a little sad by her words wasn't about to give up. She obviously had to see his civilian self in a different way. It was a good thing that showing her his more fun side as Adrien was always part of his plan . This was necessary not only so that she could accept him for himself but also because it would probably be the side she would be more comfortable around.

Lucky for him she was in his class and that gave him the chance to show her the real Adrien and hopefully, after everything, her love would remain.
