Chapter 4: The princess and the cat
After pulling himself out of the pig pen Cat Noir quickly changed back to Adrien Agreste and began to shake the excess pig manure from his person. "Well it's official, I've finally found something that smells worse than your cheese Plagg." He said to his kwami after taking off his shirt which was coated in pig shit.
"What are you complaining about?" Plagg asked back with sass. "It's not like that time you cleaned yourself with your tongue, for the eighth time."
During one of his raids Adrien's armor had been covered in blood while he was in his Cat Noir persona, and for some reason which he was still 100% sure that Plagg had made him do he used his own tongue like a cat would and began to lick himself clean. Due to this his crew began to worry that their captain was mentally insane. "Okay that was only one time and you know it, also you made me do that too so don't even go there."
"Prove it!" Plagg demanded as he just glared at his owner.
"Easy, I know you Plagg. That's just the sick twisted kind of joke you'd pull. Heck sometimes I think you might be one of Loki's children." Adrien cried back as he began to remove his pants.
"Seriously?" Plagg began to ask. "Are you actually gonna strip down bare ass naked out here in the open where literally every single pair of prying eyes can see your pickle and eggs?"
"It's not like I have any options." Adrien declared as he threw his clothes upon the ground.
Plagg just narrowed his eyes onto his owner and half shouted. "There is a bucket of water just ten feet away from you just use it to wash whatever has come out the back doors of those fat porkchops."
"What are you even talking about? Half the time I don't even know what your saying, it sounds like I'm talking to someone from a completely different time." Adrien shouted back finding his kwami's metaphors to be very annoying.
"Kid, couple things I need to say. One…shut…up. Two, go over there and clean up because frankly you stink worse than the way you try to pick up women." Plagg declared as he waved the stench away from his nose.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Adrien asked as he walked over to the bucket and dumped it on his head. He jumped slightly as he felt a quick shock of ice cold water literally wash over him.
Plagg just cocked an eye brow as he gave Adrien a weird look. "Are you kidding me kid? You don't even know what you've been doing are you really that oblivious or are you just plain dumb?"
"Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…" Adrien voiced as he just fell dumbstricken by his kwami's remark.
Plagg let out an audible groan and said. "Okay do you even know what you've been doing sense you met Ladybug?"
"Yeah just a little bit of harmless flirting." Adrien stated what he thought was the truth but in all honesty it was the farthest thing from it.
"No…no-no…no-no-no-no-no, that is not even relatively close. For example…when you first met her do you remember what you did?" Plagg argued with his owner.
Adrien nodded as he replied. "Yeah, I kissed her."
"Yeah against her will, and then she tried to kill you for it remember?" Plagg reminded him briefly. "And tonight you got up in her personal bubble and made her feel extremely uncomfortable and literally backed against a wall which was putting off extremely rapey vibes if not just creepy ones. Do you get it now Romeo?"
"Who's Romeo?" Adrien asked as he didn't get the reference.
"Doesn't matter, the point is kid you suck at this harder than a whore sucks on a guy's cock!" Plagg barked as he finally felt as though he'd gotten his point across. "But lucky for you the love doctor is in."
"Uh…who?" Adrien asked dumbly as he had no idea what his kwami was talking about.
Plagg just facepalmed and groaned. "Oh for the love of Freya IT'S ME YOU IDIOT! I'm the love doctor, and I'm going to do everything in my power to fix this sorry thing you call your love life. Now step one…wait here." Plagg then flew off for a brief moment then he returned with a plant with purple flowers. He then handed it to Adrien and said. "Rub this all over you, and I do mean ALL over you. Because you smell horrible. And that's coming from me so you know it's bad."
Adrien just gave the flower a quick once over then asked. "What is it?"
"It's called lavender, now shut up and use it it'll make you smell better." Plagg stated as he just hovered patiently waiting for his owner to try and eliminate the lingering smell with a far better one.
As Adrien began to coat himself with the sent of the flower he then asked. "So just a quick question, what exactly makes you qualified to be and I quote 'the love doctor'?"
"Because unlike you kid I've had a successful relationship that has lasted sense the beginning of time. So shove it!" Plagg spat as he stuck out his tongue.
Adrien just stared at Plagg not totally convinced by his previous statement. "You…you're in a relationship?" He asked sounding unconvinced. "Excuse me but I forgot to laugh, HA!"
"It's the truth kid, I've been seeing this girl for over a millennium, and I'm quite happy with it thank you. Even though I haven't gotten any for a long time, I mean seriously Sugar cube a man needs to feel loved too ya know!" Plagg whined as he just crossed his arms.
"Yeah sorry but I'm calling yak shit Plagg." Adrien stated, he knew his kwami had a bad habit of stretching the truth. However in this particular situation Plagg for once in his unnaturally long existence was telling the truth.
"Oh yeah? Well guess what lover boy, that girl I'm talking about just so happens to be Ladybug's kwami so stick that in your pipe and smoke it buddy!" He shouted as he just felt very annoyed that his owner wasn't believing him.
Adrien suddenly began to feel stupid for not actually believing him as he failed to realize that it was very possible for there to be female kwamis. "Oh, okay then I would like to retract my previous statement." He said with an apologetic tone.
"Good, now shut up and do your life's purpose and feed me cheese." Plagg replied with a grin feeling victorious that he'd won the argument.
Adrien then began to rub the back of his neck and said sheepishly. "Uh…yeah, about that…your cheese was in my pants pocket and…well I can only imagine that it's just covered in pig shit."
"Don't care, just feed me." The kwami demanded as he just narrowed his eyes.
"But it's inedible, why would you want to…?" Adrien began to ask only to be cut off.
"Kid…stop thinking about it and feed the hole that makes the words come out." Plagg replied with a grouchy tone.
Adrien didn't think about it, he just grabbed his pants and pulled the wedge of cheese out of his pocket and just handed it over to Plagg regardless if it had any pig droppings on it. Plagg just snatched it without hesitation and devoured it in one bite, even though he could tell it had something extra. Which he'd prefer it wasn't naturally but oddly enough he didn't seem to care enough that it had the foul taste of pig manure. After he'd finally eaten Plagg and Adrien quickly headed back to the keep where Adrien made a quick wardrobe change and Plagg began to educate him in the art of seduction. "Alright, lesson one…" Plagg began to speak. "First, when approaching a woman you never EVER invade her personal space."
"Yeah I think we've covered that already." Adrien stated as he just sat hunched over in his chair resting his head on his fist.
Then all of a sudden Plagg flew up to his owner with a stick in his hand and shouted. "NO TALKING IN CLASS." Then without so much as a warning Plagg struck him with all of his might.
"OW!" Adrien whined as he rubbed the throbbing lump on the top of his head. "GODS DAMN IT PLAGG WHAT WAS THAT FOR?!" He shouted back to his kwami.
"I'm just trying to make sure that you actually pay attention to my words of wisdom you stupid little shit! Now pay attention!" Plagg replied as he returned to the lesson. "As I was saying, you never invade a woman's personal space otherwise she may feel uncomfortable and she might just kick you in the crotch and take off running in the opposite direction. However if you want to get close enough to kiss her then you'll need to earn her trust and ensure to her that you're not a threat but in order to do this you must first lower her guard. This can be achieved in a number of ways such as sweets, flowers, jewelry, ya know the works."
"Okay…but what if I've already done what I shouldn't have done and I really need to fix it?" The young Viking asked plainly.
"Well duh, you apologize to her whenever you get a chance, but don't be pushy about it. Be sincere and patient." Plagg stated flatly.
Adrien just sat there with a confused look. "Pushy how?" He asked.
"Pushy as in what you've been doing." The kwami pointed out, but he didn't actually feel as though Adrien was actually paying attention to what he was saying.
"Okay I get it I've been going about this all wrong." Adrien stated as he stood up and walked across the room to the window so he could lean against the railing and take in the view.
Plagg just flew up to Adrien and snapped at him. "Did I say you could take a break from this? Get back over there right now!"
"Plagg, with all due respect I honestly don't need you to keep reminding me of my screw up. I know well enough what I've done by now, all I really want to do is get her to forgive me, and maybe go out with me." The young man replied with a sad sigh and expression.
Plagg just groaned and said. "You know what? Screw it, I'm done for tonight. I'm done with you, this lesson, this whole situation with you and this girl whom you still don't even know, I'm…just…done. So you know what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna eat this cheese, I'm gonna give you a stupid flower to give to Ladybug and then I'm just gonna go to bed. Ya got it punk?!" And ending on this note Plagg invented the mic drop, with a flower. "Plagg is out!"
As Adrien took the flower in his grasp he just glared at his kwami and said back with a sarcastic tone. "Fat load of help you are."
Plagg quickly turned back to Adrien and said. "There's no such thing as a bad teacher, just ungrateful students. Now get out of my sight before I do to you what I did to the Ming dynasty!"
"The who?" Adrien asked as he'd never heard of such a thing and had no idea where such a reference came from.
"Exactly! You've never heard of it, because it no longer exists thanks to yours truly." Plagg replied with a grouchy tone.
Adrien just rolled his eyes as he asked. "Let me guess, they ran out of your favorite cheese and you threw a hissy fit?"
"Is that supposed to be a cat pun?" Plagg asked with anger clear in his voice.
Adrien just smiled as he realized his words and replied. "You know it wasn't supposed to be but now that I think about it I guess it is. But for the record I blame you for that one Plagg, especially sense I only ever make those horrible cat puns whenever we're transformed."
"Oh no don't you go blaming me for this one kid, that one is all you." Plagg stated as he crossed his arms and turned away.
"Whatever you say Plagg…" Adrien voiced as he held out his ring. "Claws out." And with his usual green flash Cat Noir stepped out on to the balcony of his room. Then extended his sword up to the roof of the keep where he began to rehearse to himself how he'd properly apologize to Ladybug. "My lady I know I've…no that's not right. Fallen Valkyrie I've come to….no that's not right either. Ladybug I want to…OH FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THE GODS IN THE NINE REALMS WHY IS THIS SO HARD!" He cried out to the skies above. "Oh forget it, I give up." He then dropped down and dangled his legs over the side of the roof as he just hung his head. "Why is this so damn complicated?" Then all of a sudden he paused when he heard voices from beneath him.
He looked down and there he saw the shadow of his hostess upon the balcony of her room, as she was starting to undress. His jaw just dropped as he bore witness to her shadow slowly undressing and the curvature of her body from atop her roof. "For the love of Freya." He lipped trying not to give himself away, following this he began to feel a lustful arousal a currying, which he immediately tried to banish from his thoughts as he shook his head. "What's wrong with you Adrien you're better than that."
"I just can't help it…" Marinette voiced as she removed her shirt and threw it off to the side. "I just go stupid when he's around.
"So what? That's not unheard of, there are a lot of young lover's who get tongue tied when talking to someone they like, it's perfectly normal." Tikki replied with a bubbly voice.
Marinette just sighed as she began to remove her leggings. "He probably thinks I'm a total fool. Ugh…I just wanna crawl underneath a rock and DIE."
"Well if you don't think you have a chance with your guest then perhaps you should give a certain drifter a chance." The little kwami suggested with a smile.
Marinette just narrowed her eyes onto Tikki and asked. "Are you kidding me? I'd sooner cut my own throat before giving him the time of day."
"You could at least give him a chance, what have you got to lose?" Tikki asked back as she floated in her owner's face.
"How's about my dignity?" Marinette stated as she stripped off her bra and underwear. "Besides he's so pushy and obnoxious, I'm not surprised that he hasn't got a girl yet and I wouldn't be surprised if he lived out the rest of his days as a lonely old man."
"Did you ever think that that might be why he acts like he does." Tikki stated. "What a child?" Mari shot back, "No that's just you." Tikki giggled.
Marinette looked at her small friend, a dumb look was on her face so Tikki explained. "Ok you acted like a fool around one man yes and you hate yourself for it. Then a different acts just as foolish as you and you will not even give him a chance Mari."
All of Tikki's words had a strong hold on the truth which was one thing Marinette loved about her little friend, she didn't lie. "So what are you saying? That I shouldn't even try for Adrien?" Mari asked.
"No, what I am saying is give them both a fair chance. Who knows you might get something more than you thought was there." Tikki stated plainly. "Anyway it is completely up to you Mari but for now I'm sleepy." And with that said the little red Kwami went to visit her dreams hoping none of them smelt like cheese. Marinette quickly put on her night gown smiling at how fast her little friend could fall asleep.
"Night Tikki, sleep well." Marinette said as she went to look at the sea one more time before she went to bed herself.
Cat found he was holding his breath for not even he knew how long. Marinette didn't know she had walked out on the balcony just below him or that he had seen her in her night gown that was hugging every curve of her body perfectly. "By the gods she is puuurfect." He said flirtatiously and realizing too late his pun had given him away. "Who's there?" Marinette asked to the black of the night. Cat kept his eyes down knowing his eye shine would give him away then answered her. "A friend Princess."
Mari quickly responded. "Friends don't hide in the dark come into the light. Let me see your face." Cat thought to himself run-run get away, but what would it hurt if he stayed? After all she had asked him to. "As you wish Princess." He said as he jumped down light as a feather he landed without a sound at all.
Marinette was taken back she did not for a moment think to see Cat Noir standing in front of her. Why was he there what did he want and how long had he bin there? Cat gave a half bow while the questions raced through her mind. "Evening Princess hope you don't mind me dropping in." Cat smiled as his words came off his lips like sweet honey. His voice brought Mari back to the moment.
"Well a stray Tomcat is begging for scraps is that it?" Mari's voice rang with pure irritation as a frown covered her face. Cat smiled with a light chuckle in his throat. "Is that anyway for a princess to welcome a friend?"
Marinette then narrowed her eyes on to him and with a venomous tone replied, "A friend is invited or welcomed into my home and you are none of those things. So how about you take a long walk off the edge of the earth." Cat let out a sigh. "Very well Princess your wish is my command." Mari gave a quick smile. "Good, wait what are you doing?"
Cat had walked past her and on to the stone guardrail then turned around. "I'm doing what you asked Princess, you know some say death is the greatest quest you will ever take." He said as he started to take his ring off while stepping back.
He's bluffing, she thought to herself, there's no way he'd actually kill himself like that. But even though she thought one thing his actions told a different story as he started to lean backward and actually seemed to tug on the ring slightly. Then she did something that she never thought she'd ever do for someone she absolutely loathed, she lunged forward and wrapped her arms around his waste and kept him from falling to his doom. "Why princess I didn't think you cared." Cat chimed with a smile, then a split second later she quickly pulled him up and tossed him over her head letting him crash to the ground. "Ok I'm getting mixed signals here do you like me or not?"
"No I don't like you." Marinette replied as she crossed her arms. As soon as he stood back up he then asked again as he brushed himself off. "Then why'd you save me?"
Normally Marinette would have an answer for everything and anything, but for once she had no idea why she actually risked her own safety for someone she didn't even know or even like especially sense he could've easily dragged her down with him. She then let out a frustrated sigh and replied honestly. "I don't know it was the right thing to do I guess."
Cat smiled back to her and said. "Very well princess, whatever you say."
"Why are you even here?" She asked him with annoyance. Cat quickly thought of an excuse to tell her as he didn't want to make it seem that he was stalking her, or enjoying the sight of her undressing. "I…heard you were having man troubles and I thought I might offer you some advice. That is if you'll indulge me."
Marinette quickly turned away from him as she began to blush. "I don't have a problem." She denied flatly. Cat quickly asked with a smug grin. "Why are you lying princess?" She quickly turned back to him and snarled. "And stop calling me princess!"
"But that's what you are isn't it? You are the princess of this entire tribe. Therefor a princess, therefor that is what I shall call you." Cat replied as he started to lean forward while still grinning.
Marinette then growled in his face with pure rage. "And do you know what I'll call you if you don't stop calling me that? Dead meat!"
Cat quickly responded jokingly. "I honestly purrrfurrr kitty, kitten or even best of all…lover. But I guess I can settle for dead meat. For now that is."
She'd already experienced his horrible jokes as Ladybug but still had to act as if she'd never heard his material before. "What's with the bad cat jokes?"
Cat then clenched his hand to his heart and pretended to be hurt as he replied. "Oh princess you wound me. My comedy is pure gold."
"To who your mother? She asked back jokingly. But Cat didn't laugh, as if a sour note had crossed his face. "That is a very sore subject princess." He replied as he headed over to the balcony preparing to leave as what she had said even though she had no idea was in poor taste.
Sensing this Marinette was quick to apologize. "Wait, I'm sorry I didn't mean to offend you." She said as she grabbed his arm in the attempt to halt his departure. She may not have liked him but she had no intention of insulting him.
Well at least she knows the virtue of manners, Cat thought to himself as he turned around and allowed her to apologize. "Alright then princess, I'll forgive you. I'd also like to apologize for intruding upon you. So how's about we start over from the beginning and you tell me about your boy troubles." He offered as he leaned against the banister with a smirk. Marinette's blush suddenly returned as she just felt embarrassed that he even knew about her problem. "Now from what I recall one of these guys is perfect in every single way and he's the one you seem to like, and the other sounds like some kind of drifter or bad boy which you seem to be denying but you also seem to like."
Marinette didn't really want to hint that the guy she didn't like was actually him so she just played it off in her own way. "Oh please he can jump in a lake for all I care."
"Why? What makes him so much worse than the other boy?" Cat asked casually in order to help her.
Marinette just sighed knowing that she wanted desperately to scream you should already know that you perv. But she had to play dumb. "Oh boy where to start? First of all, he keeps making these horrible jokes which only he thinks are ever funny, OH…and on top of that he keeps making very much unwanted passes at me, and to top it all off he had the gall to actually steal a kiss from me today I mean seriously who does that?"
Hmm, I guess Plagg was right women really do think that's pushy, Cat thought to himself. "Well maybe he was just trying to get your attention." He stated what he thought was the truth.
"Well if he wanted my attention then all he had to do is walk up to me and talk to me like a human being not snake his arms around me and shove his tongue into my mouth." Marinette seethed as she exaggerated a little bit just to get her point across.
"Ah I see, well I guess you and me are in the same boat when it comes to love princess. We just want to give our feelings to someone." Cat said in response. As Marinette looked at Cat she saw that he was being serious in his use of the word, she could see that he really was head over heels for Ladybug. He might've been going about it completely wrong but he truly was trying to win her heart. But in an instant the cat quickly returned to his usually chipper self. "You know a friend of mine once told me that somethings aren't always as it seems. For example, you know this view like the back of your hand right?"
"Okay what are you getting at?" Marinette asked as she started to sense that he was planning something mischievous.
Cat then smiled at her and said. "Just humor me. You know this view well yes or no?" He asked again.
Marinette just sighed as she figured this would end the awkward question much quicker if she just played along. "Fine, yes I know this sight very well."
"Are you so sure princess?" He asked again as he pulled her in close finding almost no resistance from her as she felt no reason to actually fear him at the moment.
"What are you doing?" She asked only slightly pushing him away for a little bit of space.
As he picked her up bridal stile he smirked and said. "Just trust me and one more thing, never attempt this without Cat Noir super vision."
Her face then took on a look of confusion as a Cheshire cat grin spread across his face. "Cat what are you doing?" She asked again as Cat then stepped back onto the railing and just walked off dropping toward the ground and not even worrying about what would happen to him or Marinette at the moment. "YOU STUPID CAT!" She screamed as she suddenly was filled with fear that she was going to die. Then Cat suddenly began to lean forward putting them into a forward roll as they plummeted to the ground with the wind whistling past them until suddenly Cat landed gracefully on the roof of a house which he knew was below them.
He looked at Marinette's face and grinned as he said. "You can open your eyes now. We've stopped falling."
Marinette slowly opened one eye as she came to see that he was telling the truth. She then glared at him and shouted. "What is wrong with you?! Are you crazy or something?!"
Cat just smiled wickedly as he replied. "Princess, you haven't even seen my crazy yet." Without another word he quickly dashed forward at full speed while she stated screaming with fear.
"STOP THIS IMMEDIATELY!" She screamed as she tightened her grip on him.
Cat just winced as she screamed directly into his ear but kept on moving forward as he leaped from roof to roof. Until he stopped and sat her down for a moment. He drew his sword and stuck the point deep into the ground until he knew it would hold. Then once again pulling Marinette in close his arm wrapped around her waste their eyes locked as he gave a half smile, "Hold on tight," he said with a whisper Marinette put her arms around his neck locking her wrist and replied ."Ok." Cat then said with a grin. "Don't scream." A look of fear shot over Marinette's face, just as Cat's sword extended shooting them high in the air hundreds of meters. Marinette had closed her eyes and screamed the hole way up until she felt them stop. She had buried her face into his chest trying not to see where they were. Cat pulled them both up as he balanced them on top of the pommel sitting Marinette in his lap. "You can look now Princess." Cat said trying to assure her that she was safe.
"No I'm good." Mari said not daring to peek.
Cat shook his head. "I thought you were going to trust me." Mari quickly retorted. "I did and look where that got me."
"Yes look where it got you, please Princess just look and then you can tell me it was not worth the trip." Cat said almost begging Marinette to open her eyes to see where she was.
Mari slowly opened her eyes staring into black armor. Her face looked ever so slightly up to meet Cat's face a half concerned half happy look. Cat used his chin to point behind her to see what he wanted her to look at. Marinette was struck with awe as she looked out, it was her home but now she could see every part of it every rock, tree, stream and building. She looked out and saw the moon light dance on the waves, she could hear whales singing deep down below. She found herself looking for a word but Cat found it first. "Beautiful isn't it?"
Marinette looked at Cat in a more caring light. "Yes it is." She said back, Cat saw that her mood had changed into a lighter one more at piece and with that came an idea into his quick mind. Cat made his sword's pommel expand into a large square.
"Cat what are you doing?" Mari asked the mischievous kitten as he stood up and held out his hand to her.
"Dance with me?" he asked her. Marinette quickly jumped up trying to get away from him and said. "No not here it's too high and I'm not dressed for that." As she wrapped her arms around her knees into a small ball. Cat looked down at her. She wouldn't meet his eyes she was afraid but of what? It wasn't him he knew that already.
"Marinette what's the problem?" He asked her in a hushed tone to keep her calm she turned to meet his gaze.
"I don't like dancing, I hate it when people are watching me make a fool of myself and I;" Mari had tried to state every reason in her mind why she didn't want to dance and they were true. Cat looked at her with a caring smile. Taking one of her hands in his and bringing her to her feet. He brought her in close and said. "You are no fool Princess."
Marinette's cheeks began to change to a light shade of red as Cat began to sway her back and forth. She soon realized that they were dancing just the two of them high in the clouds no one could see her just Cat Noir. She found him taking her around in a slow circle he then twirled her out away from him till they were at arm's length. Then he pulled her back to him she found she was wrapped in his right arm, she felt safe. Like there was nothing in the nine realms the could harm her as long as Cat had his arms around her. She found Cat was lifting her over himself while spinning around. But this dance could not last forever. Cat set Marinette back on her feet just as she felt them moving down.
"You have nothing to be ashamed of Marinette," Cat Said. "You Dance Beautifully." After returning to the ground Cat then returned Marinette to her room just before turning around he gave her the rose he bin practicing with "For you Princess." He said. With a small kiss on her cheek and then stepping to the railing a half smile and mock salute as he leaned and fell back into the night. Quickly returning to his room and back into Adrien then flopping onto the bed.
"So…" Plagg began to ask. "How was your first date? Come on details-details."
Adrien just looked up at Plagg with an exhausted look as he replied. "Not now Plagg, I really need a cat nap."
"See what I tell ya? The puns are all you." Plagg stated as he popped a wedge of cheese in his mouth. "So don't blame me for anything if you screw up your chances with Ladybug aaaaaaand you've already fallen asleep haven't you?" True enough he was right, and this was confirmed once Adrien let out a loud snore. "Eh…I guess he's earned a little R&R."
Back in her Bedroom Marinette was sat on her bed brushing her hair one last time before going to sleep also with a new attitude for Cat Noir, which she didn't even think was possible given that she'd only just met him. She still didn't fully trust him but she saw him less as an enemy and more as a friend. Just before she finally retired for bed she heard a knock at her door. Marinette just let out a sigh as she marched over to the door. As she opened it she was in no way surprised to see her best friend standing there with a giant smile. "Can I help you Alya?" She asked with an annoyed tone.
Alya smirked as she answered. "Well you can start by telling me everything that happened between you and lover boy tonight."
Marinette's eyes shot open with shock as she began to fear for the worst in her own head, oh gods did she see us? "Wha-wha-wha-what are you talking about?" She asked dumbly.
"Come on don't play dumb Mari, I've known you sense we started training together as kids and I've never seen you act like that around anyone before." Alya stated as she walked into the room. "I mean I was just joking around earlier today with Cat Noir, but not even a day goes by and your falling head over heels for the son of a chief whose tribe you've never even met or heard of until today and the best part is…he's cute."
Marinette then began to calm down as she made it clear that she wasn't talking about Cat Noir. "I wouldn't say I'm head over heels for him." Marinette lied, mostly to herself.
"Girl are you kidding me? This boy is Sjophin sent, he's perfect for you. Mostly because you didn't beat the crap out of him like every would be suiter who comes your way." Alya replied knowing better then to deny the truth. "Speaking of I'll bet you anything the goddess of love herself was saving him especially for you girl."
Marinette just laughed thinking it was adorable how much she thought this was divine intervention from the goddess of love. "I'm not sure about that, but who knows…maybe…"
"Oh don't you give me that maybe stuff girl, you can say what you want but I know how you feel about this guy so don't bother denying it." Alya stated as she interrupted Marinette. "Anyway that's all I needed. Oh and to tell you that we're starting training early tomorrow morning at the crack of dawn so don't be late. Catch you later girl." And with a single wave Alya stepped out and mentally praising the gods that Marinette had finally fallen in love with somebody.
Marinette had headed over to her bed and sat down, then she folded her hands, closed her eyes, and prayed. "Sjophin, goddess of love, hear my words. I ask that you grant me this boon even though I do not deserve him…my only wish is that you grant me the love of Adrien Agreste, let him and I become one and live out our days together happily, and as for my new friend Cat Noir, I ask that you turn his gaze away from me and onto another, one who may suit him much better, one who's heart doesn't already belong to another, I know this sounds selfish, but I cannot help how I feel for Adrien, so please oh goddess of love, grant me this boon, it is to thee I pray this night, amen." She then slipped under her blanket to a piece filled sleep with dreams of strong young warriors one in black and one in green.
(A/N: That was chapter 4 hope you liked it because it was a pain in my ass to write. Next chapter will have sin in it for sure but who will be the lucky couple. That's for me to know and you to read. Kwami of destruction out.)
