Pun Master

Marinette stared at the phone in shock, a cross of confusion came across her face.

"Everything alright?" Nino asked, the dark haired girl looked up at her friends and she blushed, their confused expressions meeting her own. Her eyes caught Adrien's.

"I-I…-"

Ringgg…

Everyone rose from their seats and began to shuffle from the classroom, Nino and Adrien rose to their feet and Alya joined them and noticed Marinette still sitting.

"Girl are you alright?" Alya asked as the boys walked out.

"Come to my house!" Marinette said, panic evident on her expression, Alya gaped at her before nodding her head.

"Alright."

"So why did you request me to come over and completely bypass my boyfriend and Adrien like we didn't even know them?" Alya asked as she sat on Marinette's lounge chair, Marinette was pacing back and forth, a hand in her hair as she stared at the small piece of paper in her other hand.

"This can't be! There must be a mistake…" Marinette mumbled to herself as she continued to pace.

"Girl what are you mumbling?" Alya asked as she sat Marinette down in her computer chair.

"Alya, this is Chat's number." Marinette began looking at her, her face pale. Alya blinked.

"What?"

"The number Adrien gave us…"

"This number? You think it's Chat Noir's?" Alya asked taking the paper with Adrien's number on it from her fingers.

"I don't know! I put his number in my phone and it said existing contact and the number I have for Chat popped up!" Marinette said, Alya looked at the number again.

"One, when the fuck did you get Kitty's digits? Second, there could the chance he might have written it wrong you know." Alya suggested.

"Not very long, sorry I didn't tell you…"

"We'll talk about that later, why don't you ask him tomorrow at school about it?" Alya asked.

"I couldn't!" She said.

"Girl, if Adrien gave you this number and it's the same as Chat Noir's, that means-"

"NO, NO, NO!"

Marinette shook her hand back and forth, quickly dismissing the idea.

"T-There's no way! No way in hell! There must be a mistake!" Marinette said, Alya slightly frowned towards her friend.

"If you're sure it's a mistake then we'll ask him tomorrow alright?" Alya suggested again, Marinette stared at her thumbs.

"Marinette." Alya said sternly, the girl sighed.

"We'll see okay Alya?" Marinette asked, this time Alya sighed.

"Okay girl…"

It was Wednesday and Marinette has still failed to ask Adrien about the number situation and is playing it off like nothing was even wrong, Marinette continued to text Chat Noir but refused to see him. She couldn't, she was afraid that if she saw Chat again and took a closer look at him, she'd see it…she'd see that Chat Noir was actually-

"Marinette!"

The girl jumped and her papers fell from her desk along with her pencils, Chloe's bitchy laugh rung out as Marinette desperately picked up her supplies before sitting back down with a flushed face.

"Are you alright?" Adrien asked, face full of concern and perhaps even, fear?

"Y-Yeah…" Marinette spoke and ignored the glare from Alya.

Alya didn't see the contact Marinette had for the apparent Chat Noir but she did message the number Adrien gave her and it was in fact his number so it wasn't a mistake but Marinette wouldn't listen to her. She can't keep this up much longer.

"Well, we were just talking about how-"

Marinette felt bad but she couldn't listen to Nino talk about Physics, she wasn't paying attention, her will to ask Adrien if his number was correct and to put two and two together was easier said than done, it couldn't possibly be true.

Is Chat Noir Adrien?

Marinette mind racked the similarities.

Well, they both do have the same height and build, the same beautiful blonde hair and stunning green eyes, both their fascination of Marinette's craft skills and drawings, how they both loved her bakery goods (course who doesn't) and the same longing look in their eyes, that look that was begging for something, the way her heart fluttered for Adrien now falling for Chat, their smile was the same, the rare times Adrien would smirk, it was the same as Chats.

His laugh was a big key point to her, she'd recognize her partner's laugh anywhere. It did things to her heart that she'd never admit.

She would never admit it aloud but she did have feeling for Chat, nothing close to what she felt for Adrien but…their interactions ever since Marinette was hurt and they were together almost every other day, it only made her grow to like him even more.

Her strong, undeniably handsome, sweet, caring, goofy, crazy and brave partner, who never doubted her, never let her down, who always had her back through thick and thin. Even to leave an akuma and rush her to safety when she was close to death. Her partner, her friend, her number one, her Chat Noir.

Marinette stole a glance at Adrien who was talking to Nino about something before he chuckled, his nose scrunching up and his very slight dimples on his cheeks gave her the clear answer.

That was his laugh, it's his laugh.

Marinette pushed her pencil back and forth on her desk, obvious to Nino and Adrien talking and the look from Alya.

"Alright Miss Marinette, I'm going to be removing your cast now."

Marinette was sitting on a bed in one the doctors rooms, she looked around nervously.

"Don't be nervous alright? This saw is completely harmless." The doctor said pulling out the saw, it was about an arm's length and it was silver, the saw itself was covered in a fur almost, Marinette stared at it, the doctor smiled.

"See? It doesn't harm your skin." The doctor explained as he turned on the saw and the soft hum filled the air, he placed the saw to his arm and he didn't even have a scratch, Marinette instantly relaxed.

"Are you ready?" The doctor asked, Marinette nodded and placed her arm on a small table the doctor pulled over with a pillow on it, the doctor slowly cut the long cast from her arm.

"How does it feel?" He asked once it was removed, Marinette stared at her skin, it was pale and kind of damp and she wiggled her fingers.

"Alright, kind of stiff." She replied, the doctor nodded.

"That's to be expected, I'm going to gently wash your arm then we'll put on your new cast okay?"

After the wash, Marinette smiled when her arm smelled of lavender. The doctor pulled out some cloth and opened another drawer.

"What color or design would you like for your new cast?" The doctor asked.

"I'd like green this time." Marinette spoke with a smile, the doctor mirrored it and went to work.

Marinette smiled at the green cask around her arm.

"Alright, you're good to go. We'll give you a brace so it'll hold up your arm because since it'd been bent for so many weeks, it'll be hard for you to instantly extend your arm so do it at your own pace alright? You should only need this one for about two weeks." The doctor explained and Marinette tried to extend her elbow but it hurt so she stopped.

"Any questions?"

"No sir."

Marinette was walked out and into the waiting room where her parents happily greeted her.

"How'd it go?" Sabine asked.

"Good, I got the smaller cast in green." Marinette said.

"It's seems to be your new favorite color." Tom mentioned with a smile, Marinette rolled her eyes.

"No way Papa, pink will always be my favorite color!"

"Marinette?" The girl stopped her in tracks when she heard Adrien's weary voice call out her name, she bit her lip before slowly turning to the boy.

"Y-Yes?"

"Is there…any reason you haven't messaged me yet?" He asked gently, his green eyes searching hers.

"O-Oh! Sorry, I-I've been busy!" She mumbled quickly, she looked away.

"Oh…"

"And I wanted to double check…" Marinette opened her purse to look for the paper that Adrien has written his number on, Tikki pushed out to her fingers and Marinette clasped it.

"Is this your correct number?"

Marinette held her breath and looked into his eyes, a look she didn't recognized appeared before he nodded.

"Yes."

They stared at each other for a minute or two before Marinette pulled out her phone and entered in his number again and Chat's contact still came up.

She felt like shaking, she probably was, she stared at the contact in confusion and almost anger, she glared at the blonde before stomping away.

"M-Marinette!" Adrien called bit sighed when the girl ignored him.

"You shouldn't be surprised."

"Shut up Plagg…"

When she was home, Marinette stared at the contact and the slip of paper and felt Tikki's small paw on her finger, the kwami nodded.

To: Pun Master (Adrien?)

From: Me

"Hello?"

From: Pun Master (Adrien?)

To: Me

"My Lady?"

Marinette was shaking, she was livid.

What the hell was going on!?

Is this all some sick joke?

Is he toying with her?

To: ADRIEN AGRESTE!

From: Me

"I don't know if you're playing some sick joke on me because it ISN'T FUNNY. WHAT IS GOING ON, YOU NEED TO TELL ME RIGHT NOW AND DON'T YOU DARE LIE TO ME!"

Marinette all but slammed her phone down after sending the text, what the hell was going on!?

…

A few minutes passed and Marinette didn't receive a response and every passing second increased her anger.

She was ready to send another text with caps lock on when she heard the faintest knock on her balcony door.

She stomped to her door and slammed open the hatch, she stomped back to her chair and sat down, legs and arms crossed as Chat's frame slowly dropped down. He was almost shrunken in, his head down and his eats flat on his golden hair.

"M-My Lady, I-"

"I demand to know what's going on." Marinette spoke firmly.

Chat Noir sighed before slowly sitting on a chair, keeping a reasonable distance from Marinette, Chat hoped he'd never be on the receiving end of his Lady's scowl, it was intimidating.

"I know…"

"Are you and Adrien playing some sick game on me?" She asked, her armor almost cracking.

"No! I'd never do anything like that to you!" He replied instantly, she resisted her breath of relief.

"So what is it? You've been messaging me all this time and when I get Adrien's number, it just so happens to be the exact same number I have for you."

His ears flattened, that was a huge mistake on his part.

"This isn't how I wanted this to go at all…" He spoke pushing his bangs back, she narrowed her eyes.

"What's going on Chat." She asked, he sighed.

"I think you've figured it out my Lady." He said almost sadly.

Marinette rose to her feet and walked towards him, she stopped directly in front of him and stared deep into his eyes. She only saw remorse and guilt.

"Chat Noir."

"Yes…"

"Are you Adrien Agreste?"

"...Yes."
