It was unexpected, but breath taking. Literally. Marinette had just caught herself with the Chat Noir in the middle of her bedroom, kissing. She couldn't believe it, she just shared a lip-on-lip moment with Chat Noir for the second time! Well, except for the fact that her first kiss was just to save the cat from using his cataclysm on her so that he could get rid of her mask to discover her true, secret identity because of an incident that happened when fighting Dark Cupid.
It only took a minute for Marinette to realise that she is falling for Chat. Confused, the bluenette slowly backed away from what was just the most sensational thing that ever happened to her, to one of the most puzzling thing she had just experienced. The cat like boy was just looking at her, tilting his head at an angle, only to find out that there was something that shouldn't have happened.
Chat, covering his mouth with his black leathered hands, soon thought of the horrible feeling of falling for someone else. He didn't know to do, but the only thing that came into his mind was to get the hell out of her room and run back to his own room. Why is he that stupid? While trying to keep his emotions in place, he took a deep breath, letting out a sigh, and turned his back towards Marinette and started walking to the window. Before he got out of the place, his head slowly turned a bit so that half of his masked face was displayed for the girl.
"I'm sorry about what just happened." He said, his tone was distant and soft, filled with unsatisfaction and disappointment.
"I know that you like someone else, since your wall shows it." Before saying another word, he let out a small sigh.
"I'm sure you understand that this was a mistake." Then, Chat disappeared into the Parisian atmosphere and into the fog that was appearing steadily in front of a naked eye. Marinette felt the rage and sadness inside her. She was crying non stop. What was this feeling? Why now? It was all to confusing, she couldn't handle the fact that she is now stuck between two boys, who are opposite to eachother (That's what she thought), who are both famous for different reasons, and who are both keeping a secret that cannot be told.
As Marinette started to crawl into bed, she couldn't help but shake the feeling of having to choose between two lovely, and two different boys. All she could do now is figure out how to not get overly tensed up when she meets her partner in crime again.
"This is the reason why I don't like how I'm so friendly to people." When Marinette finished her sentence, she heard a small giggle, which was coming from the left side of her bed.
"You know, in the future, things will get even more confusing when you realise something that you're not meant to realise." It was Tikki. Of course it was her! She was there the whole time. Noticing every single detail of what just happened.
"And what does that suppose to mean?"
"You'll see." Groaning, Marinette decided to finally close her eyes. It only took at least five seconds until she felt into a deep sleep.
The next day...
It was only 5 in the moring and for some reason, Marinette was awake. She couldn't help but think about the moment she had with Chat Noir. But, the only thing that was bothering her was that Chat, himself, said that it was a mistake. What does he mean about the kiss being a mistake. Marinette thought. It was peculiar to think that he was the one who wanted to do it but was the one to say 'It was a mistake'.
"Ugh, why does everything have to be so complicated!" Marinette said. She was frustrated and was pulling her hair out.
"Calm down Marinette. One day, all of this frustration will be gone." Tikki made Marinette suspicious after what she just said to the superhero.
"Wait, what do you mea-" Before Marinette can finish her sentence, she heard a buzz coming from her alarm clock. An hour and a half 'til school starts. Great. As Marinette got up to get changed, she saw something glowing from one of the cut out pictures of Adrien from her wall. Moving closer, she saw the light being red with tinted black on it. Ladybug?
"Uh, Tikki? What's going on?" Marinette said, frustration showing from her face.
"Oh my god! It's happening!" She sounded excited. Why?
"What's happeni-" Before Marinette could even finish her sentence, a beam of green and black light was projected out from her earrings. Suddenly, streams of words and letters were presented in front of the pictures of Adrien. It was blurry at first, but slowly, it became much clear as Marinette stepped away. Frantically, Marinette was trying find a way to stop this illusion.
"Marinette, stop being crazy. It's not an illusion." Tikki said. She sounded like she knew what was going on and what was going to happen. Marinette froze, her face was like a disturbing picture of something that is not to be named. Tikki noticed it as she flew next to her to join her to look at this mysterious discovery.
"Just, read what it said." Marinette did what she said. At first, her eyes were closed, not wanting to know what it said, but it only toook a few seconds until she opened her eyes to read what it said.
"To love two opposites, shall it contain the truth beneath the mask. As it shall be similar if the for seeing figure is the same in each way. Both different in each capacity, soon to be one if looking closely is a definition. One day, the love between all will be forsaken and will be remembered as two individuals who were circling eachother. Thus, shows the true findings to this discovery." Marinette finished reading what she saw. What did it mean 'soon to be one' and 'circling eachother'? She couldn't put her finger on it. It was a crazy thing that she was thinking. Could it be true? No. No it could not be. It's impossible.
"Tikki?"
"Yes?"
"Why did my Miraculous show this to me?" Then, it became silent. Tikki was trying to figure out a way to explain all of this to the heroine of Paris. It only took her 5 seconds to start saying what she was going to say.
"Well, since your Miraculous showed that to you, it means that you are getting closer to finding out who Chat Noir is."
"But I don't want to find out!"
"Are you sure? 'Cus the earrings never lie about what you're thinking about. That's why it showed you this message." Clueless, Marinette started to think about what Tikki just said to her. It wasn't true before. But now? She definetly wants to know who he really is.
"You know what? I think you're right."
"I know I'm right." That made Marinette laugh.
"Well then, how about we forget about this and get back to it after school." Marinette said, she finally realised that she only had an hour left until school start. It woudln't hurt much to go to school early.
"That's a good idea."
30 minutes later...
For the first time in a long time, Marinette was early for school. It was a surprise, especially for Alya when she saw Marinette walking towards her.
"Hey Alya!"
"Woah girl! You're early today?" Curious, Alya decided to take a closer look at her best friend.
"Wait a second, why are you so happy today?"
"Nothing really. Just slept early thats all." Marinette was trying to hide the fact that she was pretty happy about what happened last night. Well, kind of.
"Right..." Alya said. She was about to say something else when she was interupted by someone else.
"Hey dudes!" Of course it was Nino. He had to interupt a girl talk.
"Hey Nino! How's it going?" Marinette said, she sound like she was over the moon for some reason.
"Hey Nino..."
"I'm doing fine. Hey Alya?"
"Yeah?"
"Can I talk to you for a sec'. In private?" Nino was also suspicious about Marinette, but he didn't want to ask her, since he knows that she will make an excuse about what he said. Even though she makes up excuses everytime someone ask her something.
"Sure." Alya gave a look to her best friend which signalled that she will meet her up in class before the bell rings.
"If you want to know why Marinette is here early, I'm just going to say that I don't know either."
"Well, hopefully everything gets back to normal." Just as when he said that, Adrien's limo stopped infront of the school.
"Great job Nino, you jinxed it." When saying that, The model that was in the car got out with a suspicious look in his eyes.
"Hey Nino! Hey Alya!" He said as he walked closer to them. The two friends stared at the blond, confused of what in the world was going on.
"What?" Adrien said while he cocked his head to the side.
"FIRST MARINETTE AND NOW YOU?! WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THIS WORLD?! ARGH!" Just as things could get worse, Alya stormed out of the scene and went straight into the school.
"What was that about?"
"Let's just say that you and Marinette are acting weird this morning dude." Yep, definitely worse. His own bestfriend decided to leave him and go into the school aswell.
"I can't believe those two aren't even dating yet." Adrien said, before he even went into the building.
3 hours ago...
It was only 5 in the morning and Adrien was awake. He couldn't sleep one bit, yet he didn't feel like he was tired or exhausted. It didn't take him long until he got out of his bed and went straight to his desktop and started turning it on.
While scrolling through the ladyblog for any recent updates about Ladybug, he started to notice a blur that was coated with black and a tint of green. Strange. He saw this before, last time it was when there was an Akuma attack and he was destracted by something in the distance. Then it hit him. The blur was covering a picture of Ladybug which was a way of making Adrien feel uncomfortable of what was going to happen.
"Um... Plagg? What's going on?" Adrien whispered, not sure of whether Plagg was awake or asleep.
"Chill kid. The ritual is happening."
"Wait what? What do you mean the ritu-" Before he could say anything else, a beam of the colour red and black was projected out of his ring. Curious of what it was, he saw words and letters forming infront of him. Adrien waited for a bit so that the words and letters were not blurry anymore so that he could read what it says.
"C'mon kid! Y'know that this is actually something that rarely happens to Miraculous holders!" In the distance, that was Plagg, his Kwami.
"Ok..." As Adrien took a step closer to read it, he decided that he would read it out loud. Would it hurt that much to have Plagg hear it? Surely not.
"It says..." Adrien took a deep breath before reading the message.
"To love two opposites, shall it contain the truth beneath the mask. As it shall be similar if the for seeing figure is the same in each way. Both different in each capacity, soon to be one if looking closely is a definition. One day, the love between all will be forsaken and will be remembered as two individuals who were circling eachother. Thus, shows the true findings to this discovery."
It was shocking at first, but then, it suddenly clicked. The message was talking about who Ladybug is behind the mask! But when thinking again about what it said, could it be possible to love two people at the same time?
