Two more days until the ball, and Marinette had already finished Alya's dress and mask, and Nino's suit and mask. She had given it to them yesterday and she is currently working on the final touches of Ladybug's dress. It was a ball gown that covered her feet, splashed with blood red and the outline was black. The sleeves were perfectly sewn to slide down the shoulders, exposing the skin. The dress reflects the true beauty of Ladybug. The way the sequenced fabric flowed was elegant. If words could describe perfection, this would be it.
Marinette quickly stitched the last part of the dress, giving out a sigh of relief when she was done. She finally did it. Now all she needs to do is finish the mask, then the whole outfit would be perfect and ready to be tested. The mask was designed to be a replica of Ladybug's mask, having black polka dots on top of the red mask.
While trying to make the mask stuck to her face, she heard a knock on her window. Must be Chat Noir. Quickly hiding her dress and mask, she went towards the window and opened it for the alley cat.
"What do you want Chat. I'm kind of busy right now." She said while crossing her arms.
"Well purr-incess, I am here for my suit and tie." He said before bowing. Oh god. Marinette forgot about the suit and tie that she was suppose to give yesterday. She remembered finishing it but after that, all she can remember is falling asleep and waking up the next morning.
Ever since the Ladybug and Adrien incident, Chat Noir went to Marinette to ask her to make him a suit. Fortunately, she was already making a suit for him, considering that she had to make up an excuse saying 'I thought that you might've heard about the ball, so I decided to make one for you.' which was a total lie. She remembered Chat telling her - Well, her other self - that he was going to the ball but he doesn't know if he had a suit with green colours on it.
"Oh yeah! I have it on my chair there." Marinette pointed at the suit which was laying on the chair, neatly folded.
"And your mask is also on top of it."
"Well thank mew for making me a suit and tie." A giggle escaped from her mouth when the cat made a pun. Chat walked towards the chair, carefully picking up the suit and the mask. It looked stunning. The fabric felt soft and delicate, and the scent of strawberries on it made him smile.
The suit was half black and half green, showing the two sides of Chat Noir. The tie was also half green and black, although the mask was only black, it looked exactly like the original mask the hero was wearing. He also noticed that there was a belt looking tail connected with the pants. How is she so talented? For this age, she could be working with huge and major companies. Chat made a mental note to mention Marinette to his dad.
"Well, I better be off, since it is a school night." Chat said, giving a small bow towards Marinette.
"Ok then, I hope you enjoy the dance." Marinette gave a wave towards Chat as he got on to the window. He turned around and gave a two finger salute before disappearing into the Parisian night. She sighed, knowing that she might as well pretend that she is upset about going instead of being happy.
She got back to her wardrobe, which was where she threw her dress, and started to work on it.
An hour had passed and it was already 2am. Marinette decided that it would be best to try it out tomorrow, since tomorrow was the day of the ball and that today she would be busy prepping everything for her best friend.
Marinette dragged herself towards her bed, which was because it was tiring to move. She then jumped into her bed and closed her eyes, saying good night to the Kwami before falling into a deep sleep.
But it wasn't until the clock struck 4 in the morning that Marinette felt a strange presence in her room. She slowly opened her eyes and started to sit up to look around, only to see a glimpse of a red light on her desk. Oh god Marinette thought, not this again.
The bluenette stood up from her bed, making sure to not wake her Kwami up from her sleep. As she got closer, she could see the words more clearly. The light was coming from her earrings, again, and this time, it's giving her another clue that she doesn't want to read. But since curiosity killed the cat, Marinette decided to read the holographic words that were on her wall.
"Mixed emotions wrapped around the heart, making it hard to love. A person that you have adored has now been sunken into the bottom of darkness, while the other is seeking its way in. Love can conquer all, but love can also destroy whats your's. Choose wisely of the decision you will make, or face the consequences that may come in the future when you realise you lost the person you love..."
Strange. Marinette re-read the words again and again, curious of what the meaning behind all of this. It took a bit of time to understand that the clue was telling her to reveal her identity to the person she loves. But who? The riddle didn't say anything about who she has to tell, only that she had to 'Choose wisely' or else things won't go so well in the mere future.
Was it talking about Adrien?
Or Chat?
Confused, Marinette sat on the chair that was next to her, and starting evaluating the words and also what has happened the past week. And then something came to mind, the incident between her and Adrien. Oh, now this is going to be interesting.
She started replaying the moment in her head, the soft lips and the way he touched her was intoxicating. But what was interesting was that his lips felt familiar. Wait, it felt familiar. Since when does lips feel familiar if she hasn't anyone else than Adrien and...
"Oh. My. God." Marinette whispered. She knew it. But she still denies it. Adrien's lips can't feel like Chat's. Can it? Well, they do look similar. The blonde hair, green eyes, the same length and size and the same smile.
Oh no. It can't be. They can't be the same person. They're both different, yet their voices and the tone of it is the same. But why now? Why didn't she see it before? Questions were roaming around her mind, making her more curious every minute, and the eagerness of asking Adrien if he knew.
Wait.
Does he know? Marinette was getting frustrated about this, it made her angry, sad and... happy. She couldn't process enough to realise that she has been awake for 3 hours, questioning herself and also thinking too hard about the situation she is in. She hasn't realise that Tikki was awake and trying to call her. She hasn't realise that she has school in an hour. But the only thing that she realised is that Adrien is Chat, and Chat is Adrien. Meaning that-
"Adrien's my first kiss."
Well no shit Sherlock.
Hey Guys! I just want to say that I'm soooooooooooo sorry for not updating anything for the past month. Not only that I've been stressing out with exams and preperations for starting GCSEs, I also had a minor accident with my thumb and my Swiss army knife. Pretty much, I fell while messing around with the knife and made the blade slide down my thumb, making me get butterfly stitches.
So I'm super sorry for not updating, but I also want to say that I might start another story based on the next generation (AKA Emma Agreste :P) and I will be trying to update at least once every 3 days, maximum once every week.
Hope you guys enjoyed this story and I would appreciate some reviews from you guys.
From your author,
