ANSWERS TO REVIEWS:
Hitomi-nya: Yeah I did, I also read a few fanfics where Bridgette and Felix are mentioned alongside Adrien and Marinette. I thought the idea would be cool, but I'm not sure I would get their characterisations well XD
BDemon1995: Thanks, glad you liked it :3
wolfrunnerable12: And I loved your review :)
orangemacnc: haha Yup! Hello to you too fellow Fairy fan! :D
Prompt: In which, Adrien/Chat Noir starts to notice he wasn't the only one vying for his princesses' attention.
Rated: K+ - T
NOTE: Apparently I failed to see a comic that has the same meme of "Chat Noir is watching" (I searched up and really, how didn't I notice it upon all the fanarts I've already seen XD) Thanks Kai19 for telling me about it, I got the idea from the general meme "I'm watching you" and replaced it with Chat's name. :3 But I will always write IF I use any comics or fanarts as inspiration for my fics! :)

The Fanclub
"Hey," Adrien turned around and smiled, waving at the approaching boy.
"Hi Luka," he glanced behind him to see Nathanael, the shy redhaired boy smiling timidly, holding his sketchbook close to his chest, "Oh, hey Nathanael," he smiled.
The artist nodded, "Hi Adrien, Nino," he nodded towards the dark-skinned boy next to Adrien and the DJ grinned.
"I didn't know you know Nathanael," Nino teased the older boy, who chuckled.
"Juleka talks about her classmates, I know him from her stories but I never imagined what a great artist he really is," he smiled down encouragingly at the shy boy, "Did you guys see his drawings? They're amazing, I bet he would get an invitation to open his own art exhibit if he publishes them anywhere," he patted Nathanael on the shoulder and the boy flushed red.
"Uh, I don't really think that it's that good, um," he rubbed at the back of his head uncomfortably.
Nino smiled, "Come on dude, your art was always great! You were the best in art class too when we had it last year!" he gave him a thumbs up and the artist smiled timidly.
"And he has really cool drawings of Ladybug and Chat Noir too," Luka winked at the smaller male, who blushed in embarrassment.
Adrien rose an eyebrow, trying not to appear too interested above that of a fan's interest, "Really? Can we see? I'm sure it's great like all your other drawings," Nathanael seemed to hesitate but when he looked at the encouraging smiles his friends gave him, he finally relented.
In his haste to find the sketches with the superhero's on them, his other drawings fell from his grasp clumsily, sprawling unceremoniously to the floor.
Luka and Adrien almost simultaneously kneeled down to pick them up, followed by Nino a second later, "I-I'm sorry!" Nathanael quickly accepted the small stacks the boys gathered gratefully.
Luka smiled calmly, "It's alright Nath, all good-" he cut himself off mid-sentence, spotting a picture he thought looked very familiar.
When he pulled the picture closer to his face, a small smile played on the musician's lips, "Is that Marinette?" he scanned the great detail that was put in it, from the realistic dark blue strands of her hair up to the details on her shoes.
It looked nothing short of marvelous, showcasing not only Nathanael's true talent as an artist, but also the painted object's beauty.
The paper was suddenly taken away from him and Luka looked up to see Adrien looking over it curiously, "Yeah, it is," a smile lighted up his face and Luka's brow rose, "Wow, that's great Nathanael, I didn't know you drew our classmates too,"
Nino grinned, "Yeah, Nathanael, we had no idea you drew each and every one of us, right?" he rose an eyebrow expectantly and Nathanael blushed uncomfortably, the redness of his face clashing horribly with his fiery red hair.
"I-I, um, actually…" he bit his lip, "I only drew Marinette,"
All boys but Nino froze and Luka noted with interest how the artist's face only grew redder, "Really?" he hummed thoughtfully, rubbing his chin.
Adrien remained quiet, not quite knowing how to respond.
"So, you like Marinette, huh?" Luka chuckled, feeling slightly bashful, "Well, since one cats out of the bag, why not let the other one out too," he rubbed at the back of his neck, "I like Marinette too," his gaze softened, not noticing the stunned look Adrien gave him, "Honestly, what's there not to like? She's just this amazing girl, beautiful, smart, pretty funny and just really adorable." He smiled, feeling lighthearted.
Nathanael looked at the older boy and smiled, "Yeah…"
Nino coughed, trying hard to keep in the bout of chuckles that wanted to erupt from him when he gave his friend a sidelong look.
It looked like Adrien was malfunctioning.
"Dude, you okay?" Nino lightly punched his arm, but Adrien didn't react.
"Uh…yeah," he scratched his cheek, feeling Plagg nudging his side from within his shirt.
He frowned.
Nino grinned, "Well, I have to admit, I had a thing for Marinette too, but that was before I met the most amazing girl to ever walk the earth," he chuckled, thinking of his feisty reporter goddess.
Luka's eyebrows rose in surprise, "You liked Marinette too?"
Nino chuckled somewhat bashfully, "Yeah, it was a bit of a crush, dude. Nothing big, it went away after a week or two," he shrugged nonchalantly, "I guess Marinette is just really hard not to like," he laughed, immensely grateful the girls weren't within hearing range.
Adrien noted the look in the older boy's eyes, it vaguely reminded him of someone…
"What about you Adrien?"
Adrien froze, eyes shooting to Luka, "…What?"
"Did you ever have feelings for Marinette?" Luka's arms were crossed, he seemed slightly perplexed but not necessarily annoyed…maybe it was his imagination.
Wait…what?
Adrien's mind drew a blank, his lips moving before he could stop them, "Friend,"
"What?" Nathanael shot him a weird look.
Adrien quickly cleared his throat, "Uh, I mean, Marinette is just a really good friend,"
Why did it feel so weird saying that? It didn't before.
And since when did his princess have so many suitors?
He hadn't pegged her for the type to have so many boys in line waiting…
Adrien decided it then and there.
Chat Noir would have to get involved too.
"I heard you were talking about my princess," Luka and Nathaniel turned to look at none other than Chat Noir, who stood with his arms crossed and an intimidating look on his face. He didn't look too happy.
Both boys stood up and Nathaniel shrunk in on himself, not too keen on facing the superhero's wrath, but Luka remained calm, smiling, "Princess? I'm sorry Chat Noir, but who exactly is your princess?"
Chat walked over to the two boys, the closer he got, the more Nathaniel hid behind Luka, who towered over the hero slightly, "Marinette,"
Luka rose an eyebrow, "Marinette?" and then, a smile broke out on his face, "Yeah…I guess 'princess' is a nice name for her,"
Nathaniel thought Chat Noir would strike them down where they stood, but instead the superhero did the complete opposite.
He fell to his knees, hands clasped together in a prayer, "PLEASE LET ME JOIN THE FANCLUB! MY PRINCESS ISN'T DONE JUSTICE IF A REAL ADMIRER DOESN'T LET THE CAT OUT OF THE BAG ABOUT HER!" the cat sobbed over dramatically, clutching at Luka's pants leg.
Luka shared a look over his shoulder with Nathaniel, "I didn't know we had a fanclub but sure, why not?" he held a hand out to Chat Noir and the hero took it, dusting himself off, "I didn't know one of Paris' superhero's likes Marinette too. She's really amazing, huh…"
Chat 'tsked', "You have cat to be kitten me. She's not 'just' amazing, she's amewzing, purrfect, absolutely clawsome!" Chat Noir grinned like the cat he was, "And she likes my puns,"
A little more than several hours later…
Chat frowned, grabbing the pencil from Nathaniel and scribbling on the paper furiously, "No, no, no! That won't do at all!" once he was done with writing down what he intended, he held the large paper up for Luka and Nathaniel to see.
"Woah, that's amazing Chat Noir," Luka praised, "You're right, that's much better for Marinette,"
Chat sported a cocky grin, "Of course, only the best for my princess," he mentally hissed, 'And mine alone,'
On the human-sized paper Chat Noir held, were several things written down.
Things the boys appreciated and adored about Marinette.
Things Marinette was good at.
And things Marinette liked.
Luka rose an eyebrow when he read the last point under 'What Marinette likes', "Uh, are you sure she likes that?" he pointed to the last bullet point and Chat huffed.
"Of course she does, after all, how can she not like my clawsome puns?" Luka stood up and took the pencil from Chat Noir, whose gaze narrowed at the teen, especially when he stepped away to show what he wrote.
Chat's tail lashed out from behind him, "…Music?" he shot Luka a look.
The guitarist crossed his arms and smiled, "Yeah, she loves it when I play the guitar. Sorry, I didn't mean to de-bass your comment," he suddenly smirked at the superhero, something playful yet competitive shining in his eyes, "After all, how can she not like my sound of my beats?" Luka smirked and Chat Noir felt his shackles raise defensively.
The game was on.
Marinette smiled as she saw Alya in the distance, waving at her in greeting until a black blur suddenly danced in front of her vision but as soon as she looked around, she saw nothing.
Marinette whirled around, trying to spot whatever had just jumped in front of her. Had it been a dog? No the creature had been far larger than a dog. Just what-
"Hey girl, we'll be late for class! Come on!" Marinette shook her head quickly before speeding up toward Alya.
"Hey Alya, did you see that thing that moved in front of me?" Alya gave her an odd look.
"I'm sorry, I looked at my phone for a second but what thing?" she rose an eyebrow but Marinette shook her head. Maybe she didn't get enough sleep last night.
"Nothing, sorry,"
Alya wiggled her eyebrows suggestively, "Is someone distracted by a certain guitarist lately?"
Marinette blushed uncontrollably, "A-Alya! Don't be ridiculous! Luka and I are just friends!" besides, it wasn't the charming guitarist that had invaded her thoughts, more like a pun-spewing, obnoxious cat that had meowled outside her window for the better part of the evening just to be petted.
She would have to talk to Chat Noir about boundaries.
Luka watched the girls as they walked toward their class and he smiled, "Hey Ma-!" he froze, slowing his jog to a stop when he spotted what was plastered on her back.
On her back, there was a medium-sized white paper, big bold black letters written on it for everyone and anyone to see.
Subtly, Luka looked around the school building for any suspicious sightings of the black cat, but saw none. When he looked back at the paper on Marinette's back, a shiver raced up his spine.
Chat Noir is watching.
Luka vs Chat Noir? Lukanoir? Luchat? Chuka? Chaka? Oh shit, please let this not be a ship XD Upcoming chapter will be titled: "My Responisbilities" ;)
