Payback
"That won't work."
"I don't know what you're talking about." She blinked up at him innocently giving the stray another scratch behind the ears.
"I'm not a jealous kitten anymore, Marinette." No, now he was a jealous tomcat, he wasn't about to give her the satisfaction though.
Adrien tried to keep a straight face as he eyed the cat. 'I can't believe this smug little bastard is still alive..' He couldn't dwell on it too long as a chime alerted him to an incoming text.
[Hey dude, plans tomorrow?]
"Who's that?"
"Oh it's just-" A devious smile pulled at the corners of his mouth "Chloe."
"I didn't know you and Chloe were still close." She said flatly.
"We still text from time to time. Why? That doesn't bother you does it?"
"N-no! Of course it doesn't!" She protested a little too loudly which startled the cat. "What does she want?" Her voice lower this time as she sadly watched the stray slink away across the park.
"Oh you know, Chloe stuff. Wants to know if I want to go shopping with her tomorrow."
"Do you?"
"Hmm, I don't know, maybe?" He tapped his chin pretending to think about it. "Did we have any plans tomorrow?"
"Uh yeah! Um.. We were going to..Ummmm.."
He raised a quizzical eyebrow at her.
"No, we don't.." She pouted.
Adrien made a big show of sending a reply text, making it seem like he was typing a lot more than [No, what's up?]
They sat in silence for a few minutes, until his phone chimed again, causing Marinette to jump slightly in her seat. The blush that crept across her face was just too adorable.
[New movie out. Double date?]
"Nino and Alya want to see a movie tomorrow. Do we want to go?"
"Huh?"
He held the phone up flashing his playful Chat Noir grin.
"You!-"
"You're cute when you're jealous my lady."
