Chapter Five: What Makes You Special
A/N: Hey! I can't believe it's been a week! Thank you so much for all your reviews and views. Two chapters on the way as well as edits on previous ones. As always, reviews are always appreciated!
Bug Out!
"Shhhhhhhh!"
Just as he was about to admit his guilt, a red kwami, most likely Marinette's popped up, quietly telling him to not say a word.
"I uh know your feeling sad, and you think I'm lying. But I'm going to tell you the truth, okay?"
Marinette nodded.
"I love Ladybug, but Marinette, she may be out of reach. But I've known you for almost two years, and I've grown to love you."
Marinette smiled. "Thank you Adrien. You have no idea how much it means to me."
"Your welcome." Adrien said, leaving Marinette alone with her thoughts.
"Tikki?" Marinette said quietly.
"Yes?"
"I don't believe him."
"Why?!"
"Why would he like ME, when he has Ladybug?"
As Chat Noir did his nightly patrols, searching for akumas, he saw Marinette's balcony light faintly glowing in the distance. She looks sad. I thought I cheered her up…
"I see you spying on me, Chat Noir." Marinette said.
Although surprised, he walked over to her, "How'd you know?"
"Instinct."
"Well since I'm already here, I have to ask, what's wrong?" Chat asked.
"You know that boy I like? Well, I told him how I felt…" her voice trailed off.
"What happened?" Chat asked.
"He told me he liked Ladybug. Guess you have competition." she chuckled, dishearted.
"What happened next?"
"He then told me while he liked Ladybug, he fell in love with me."
"And why's that so bad?"
"Because I don't believe him. Because if he could have Ladybug, what would make me so special?"
I guess she still doesn't believe me
"How long have we known each other?"
"I don't know, close to a year?"
"Well, I can tell from Evillustrator, that you must be nice enough for someone to love you as much as Nathanael did. I can tell from Gamer that you're not just skilled in fashion. Befana showed that you were such a nice girl that not only did your class prepare a surprise party just for you, but that they would do anything to defend you. And in Glaciator, even if you were hurt, you still kept a positive attitude. And you helped me feel better, even if we were both down. Marinette, you're an amazing person. You can't keep comparing yourself to Ladybug." Chat Noir reassured, using his fingers to count his reasons.
You have no idea, Marinette thought.
"Thank you, Chat Noir. That means a lot." Marinette smiled, glancing towards the distance. Her smile was replaced by one of shock.
"Is that… Lila?"
"Volpina is back! I'm calling you out Ladybug and Chat Noir!" She yelled.
