Day 6: Carried me bridal style once and now Paris ships us

Marinette let out a sigh as she crossed the street and headed towards the stairs that lead to the entrance of her school.

She was exhausted from the events of the previous night and she wasn't really in the mood to attend class, but she didn't have a choice. She missed to many days due to her double life of being a superhero and she needed to be present whenever she could.

Despite not having the option to do so Marinette really did want a break. Last night she had to transform and along with Cat Noir stop yet another akuma.

Like always they manage to thwart Hawkmoth's evil plans, but after Ladybug purified the akuma she only had mere seconds before she de-transformed and was forced to hide behind the nearest tree.

Coming out of hiding as Marinette she was forced with the decision to walk home since her kwami was out of energy and she didn't bring any cookies with her.

Of course it wasn't long until Chat Noir landed in front of her wondering why she was on the other side of town in the middle of the night. He insisted on taking her home, not wanting to turn away from the situation in fear that something would happen to her. So he scooped her in his arms and carried her the rest of the way home.

The blunette admired Chat's chivalry, it was one of the things that made him such a great hero, but it did irritate her a little that he thought she was so helpless and it didn't exactly help that he was cracking puns left and right the entire way back.

When Marinette reached the stairs she felt that someone was watching her. When she looked around she noticed that it wasn't just one person, but multiple people. Students were eyeing her looking in her direction and whispering to each other.

What's going on? Did Chloe start another rumor about me again?

She walked the rest of the way upstairs and turned to head inside her classroom. What she didn't expect was her friends to suddenly ambush her.

"Marinette!" Alix shouted from the front. "Is it true?!"

"Never knew you rolled like that." Kim commented next.

"I can't believe you haven't told us before Marinette! You two are so cute together!" Rose cheered happily.

Marinette blinked confused not knowing a single word any of the were talking about. She raised her hands up in front of her trying to get everyone to calm down. "Wait guys! What are you talking about??"

"Oh don't act like you don't know." Alya said stepping down from her seat and smirked at Marinette. "It's all over the Ladyblog."

"What's all over the Ladyblog?"

Alya takes out her phone and holds up a photo for her friend to see. Marinette takes a few steps forward to get a closer look and her eyes widen to what was displayed.

It was her and Chat Noir, he was carrying her bridal style and she had her arms around his neck as well. It was when he was taking her home after the akuma attack. Someone had edit the picture with hearts around it and the word Marichat was displayed at the top.

Marinette's jaw dropped as she scrambled to grab the phone and stared at it even more wide eye than before. "What...but I...this is..." She struggled to get her words straight. "You guys have got it all wrong! Chat and I aren't a thing!"

"Of course you're not." Chloe snarked while she sat at her desk filing her nails. "As if YOU of all people would be dating a superhero, you're probably just doing this for attention."

Marinette rolled her eyes and ignored the blonde. She really didn't have time to worry about Chloe right now.

"Hey dudes, what's going on?" Nino along with Adrien had just entered the classroom together.

Alya took her phone back showing the two of them the picture. "Marinette's got a new boyfriend." She said in a teasing tone.

Adrien's eyes widen and Nino smirked at the blunette. "Cool you're dating a super hero?"

"Chat Noir and I are NOT dating." Marinette clarified. "This is all just a misunderstanding. I was a long way from home so he gave me a lift. End of story."

"So you don't like Chat Noir in any way whatsoever?" Her best friend asked.

"W...well I mean I do like him, but not in THAT ways. He's very sweet, kind, and his chivalry is definitely something to admire. No matter where I go he's...he's always there when I need him." Marinette had a slight blush on her face. She picked up her bag off the floor and set it on her desk. "Besides, he likes Ladybug anyway. So even if I did have feelings for him it...it wouldn't matter..."

Ms. Bustier had arrived asking everyone to take their seats as class was about to begin. Marinette sat down in her seat and her face was still a little red from the whole ordeal.

"Why did I go and say that?" She thought to herself. "Now it really sounds like I have a crush on Chat Noir. What would Adrien think???!

During her inner freak out Adrien had turned his head to sneak a peek at the blunette. When he turned back to face forward he had a slight blush on his cheeks and a smile on his face.
