Chat Spots, Chapter 4: We Were WHAT?!
A/N: Hola musical readers! I hope you all liked the FNAF chapter I put in, because…that won't be the last! Yes, there will be more of those, since they are admittedly fun to write, and it's fun to torture them a bit. So, I got this idea from a reviewer by the name of KrystalDawner. I just decided to tweak the idea to fit what I have in mind. So, let's roll, shall we?
The summary: Continuing from last time, Adrien and Marinette were playing the game Five Nights At Freddy's. Little did they know that Alya and Nino would not let this duo's gameplay go without recording. So, when the two look at the footage, there is dialogue that they didn't get the memo about that might change the pairs' relationships.
7:30 AM, Saturday
It was quiet in Marinette's room. No one was up at this time yet, except for a certain glasses wearing duo, that were quietly tiptoeing to the bathroom, trying not to be noticed by any one, including each other. Alya happened to get there first, and she noticed Nino, who let her go first. She smiled gratefully and quickly brushed her teeth and fixed her hair into a side ponytail. She let Nino go through and she tiptoed back into the room and quietly retrieved Nino's phone. She quietly went down stairs and saw Nino with his ear buds on the couch. She giggled silently at him sleeping there. He must've fallen asleep waiting for her. She admittedly did have a crush on the headphone wearing boy, but tried not to show it much. As she tried to get around without waking him, he grabbed her hand and pulled her down on the couch, making her blush.
"Good morning, Alya." He said, rubbing his eyes. She smiled.
"Morning, Nino. So, you know why we're here, up, without coffee, yes?" She attempted to get up to move a little, but Nino wouldn't let go.
"Where're you going?" She rolled her eyes playfully.
"Attempting to get comfortable." Nino loosened his grip a bit, and she snuggled against him comfortably, making him blush.
"Umm, comfortable?" He said awkwardly. She smiled.
"You're so cute. I'm comfortable." He turned her towards him.
"I'm cute?" He said with a smirk. She blushed.
"Oh, shut up! Off topic." He rolled his eyes playfully.
"So, we got the dorks on film, right?" She nodded proudly.
"Yup. Let's watch." They turned on Nino's phone.
"Hey, I'll be right here with you. And it can't be that bad, right?" Adrien said, a slight undertone of nervousness hinted.
"Y-yeah, sure. J-just a computer game." Adrien allowed her to sit on the chair next to him and he sat in the chair of the one playing.
"I'll play first, okay? And you can laugh at me, okay?" Marinette smiled gratefully. He pressed start, and the game began.
"Freddy Fazbear's Pizza… Security guard night shift… Give me a sec." Adrien walked to the door.
"NINO!" He heard laughing, and Adrien went back to his seat. They bust out laughing.
"He literally just knew the game wasn't going to be happy and rainbows!"
"We'll kill them later, let's get through the game first. There's f-five nights, s-so you do the 1st one." Marinette said. They continued and heard a phone ring.
"I'll assume I don't pick up." Adrien said questionably.
"It's a voicemail!" Marinette said in realization. They listened to the voicemail…
"He sounds so much like "Oh, goodie, you're going to die, so let me help you attempt to survive!"" Adrien said glaring at the screen…
"Seriously?! I'm gonna die!" Adrien shouted, and Marinette nodded, afraid.
…Marinette immediately moved closer to Adrien, whom was checking his cameras, muttering, "Who would be stupid enough to work here?" He tried to figure out if any of them could leave. Marinette was starting to take notice of something, and started slapping Adrien a little.
"Umm, A-Adrien, one of them left! Check the doors!" Adrien did as she said, equally as afraid.
"O-Okay. Um, checked here, let me check the other one… HOLY CRAP WHAT IS THAT?!" He spotted an animatronic blue bunny behind the other door and almost flipped out, but not too loudly. Marinette began to scream a little.
"CLOSE THE DAMN DOOR!"
"I'M TRYING!" He closed it, and for a few moments he left it like that, and then was brave enough to open it, so he could conserve power, and checked again.
"Dang it, it's still there!" He closed the door, but Marinette noticed the power level he had.
"U-um, K-Kitty, you have t-twenty percent left-t. You gotta conserve." The duo's eyes widened. Kitty?
"Uh, why did Marinette call Adrien, "Kitty"?" Nino said suspiciously. Alya wrote it down, then looked to him.
"I don't know, but I do know that we may find more suspicious nicknames in this video. Continue." They unpaused the video, suspicions raised.
…They were too close for comfort. He checked the necessary things again, and they suddenly heard a doorbell like- sound. Adrien stood up in joy.
"HA HA, TAKE THAT YOU STUPID GAME! WHAT NOW FREDDY FREAKING BEAR! NINO I MADE IT!" Adrien was jumping for joy, as was Marinette.
"WE MADE IT THROUGH THE FIRST NIGHT! YAHOO!" Nino and Alya smiled at their friends.
"Good job you two! Somehow, Alya made it through the 3rd night, so let's continue!" Marinette stopped jumping in realization that it was her turn.
"AW DANG IT! I don't wanna do it!" Adrien embraced her as they went back to their chairs. They saw the time was 8:05.
"I'll help you. So don't worry." They switched seats, Marinette in the player seat, and they continued. They heard a phone.
"Oh my god, don't tell me there's another voicemail!" Marinette groaned. Adrien glared at the the screen...
"Well, uh, thank you. Were we supposed to die?!" Marinette said sarcastically…
"WHAT?! What do you mean, more active?! Uggghhh." Marinette groaned as Adrien silently laughed at her…
"Proper places…What the heck does that mean?" Marinette muttered as she hesitated and checked the cameras. She started panicking.
"Okay, I know I'm not crazy. One of them's gone! I'm going to die!"
"Chill! You have 89 percent, and you haven't checked where the doors are. Calm down." She nodded and checked the area where the doors were.
"O-Okay, check this one, nothing there, check this one… Umm, hold on… AAAAAAHHHHH! WHAT THE HECK?!" She spotted an animatronic duck and screamed, hearing their friends laugh a bit. Adrien attempted to help her.
"Okay, close the door! Phew. Alright, it's 1 AM. Continue."
…She checked the doors, and found the duck there, and then she checked the cameras, slapping Adrien's arm.
"A-Adrien, they're coming for me what do I DO?!" She squeaked. Adrien was starting to get really annoyed with the bunny.
"I don't know, LB. All I know is you have 45 percent and its 3 AM. Oh wait, 35. Just stay calm-OHH THE DAMN DOOR AGAIN!"
""LB"? Who else has that nickname?" Alya said, now aware that their friends were hiding something that had to do with these nicknames.
She looked at her power level. 19 percent left.
"I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die-"Marinette mumbled totally scared at this point, Adrien helping her. She checked the cameras but didn't notice the power supply depleting. She was going to check the doors…
"AAAAAAAHHHH! WAAAAHHHH!" Marinette jumped and fell back off the chair at a bear popping up on the screen, screeching.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! SHE JUMPED!" Nino laughed. Alya nodded, giggling.
Adrien jumped and caught Marinette but landed on the ground, completely afraid. The side of the screen read Game Over. Alya and Nino ran upstairs upon hearing the thud.
"Adrien, what happened?! Why is she…let me guess, jump scare?" Nino asked in realization. Adrien was too afraid and upset to answer. Alya went over to her best friend who was still scared.
"Marinette, are you alright?" She looked at Alya.
"I have to play this again?! What can I do to survive?" Marinette said, looking at the two.
"Honestly, just try your best, okay? I turned the lights on already, so just continue and don't worry about it. Again, you made it pretty far. So don't worry!" Alya and Nino went back downstairs, and Adrien started to play the 1st night. Marinette went over to the lights and switched them off.
2nd night, 5 AM, 9:10
…She was doing really well, she was biting her fingernails in nervousness.
"I reeaally don't wanna die. Again." Marinette muttered. Adrien looked at her comfortingly.
"You'll be fine My Lady." Adrien whispered.
""MY LADY"?! That's super suspicious!" Nino whisper shouted. Alya nodded.
"Do you think…maybe…she might be Ladybug and Adrien might be Chat Noir?" Nino shook his head, but his eyes betrayed him.
"I, I don't know how to answer that. Let's just keep watching."
…She then heard a doorbell and jumped for joy.
"ALYA! I DIDN'T DIE THIS TIME! YAY!"
"Three more nights, Marinette!" Adrien said excitedly.
"THAT'S GREAT YOU TWO!" Adrien then sat down to start the third night, Marinette in the seat next to him.
3rd night, 9:13
They heard the phone again.
"I swear I'm getting tired of these messages." Adrien said.
"Hey, you're doing great!-"
"Wow, a good message this time-"He started.
"-Uh, most people don't last this long."
"Never mind, WHO SAYS THAT?!"He shouted, glaring at the screen…
"He has a point, though, who says that?!" Alya said curiously.
"Were they not already real?" Marinette asked. Adrien glared as if to say 'Don't ask.'
"You can do it, kitten." Marinette whispered. Adrien smiled at her gratefully. Alya immediately had her suspicious confirmed.
""Kitten"?! If that doesn't scream Chat and Lady, then I don't know what does." Nino nodded, in shock.
"L-lets finish the video."
10 minutes later, 9:23, 5 AM
"Why can't I get through this stupid game already?!" Adrien growled. Suddenly, a doorbell was heard.
"YES! TWO MORE!" Adrien jumped out of his chair, knocking it over. He grinned sheepishly.
"My bad, LB." The duo heard it again.
"He said it again!"
She smirked, then nervously sat down to do night 4.
4th night, 9:35, 4 AM
"Oh god, I'm scared, I don't wanna die and they are AFTER ME! I don't know how Alya and Nino do this…OHH HOLY, GOODBYE!"
The two laughed a little, and continued.
Marinette spotted one of them, and squeaked as she closed the door.
"5 AM. Stay calm." She nodded and kept up, checking cameras and doors…
"YAHHOOO! DOOOORRRBEEELL! ONE MORE AND YOU'RE DOING IT!" Marinette screamed in joy and pointed to Adrien. He smiled and kissed her cheek.
"Great job Marinette." She blushed, but smiled gratefully and they switched seats.
"Oh, that's it. When I get up there…" Alya growled. She was about to storm up, but Nino turned her around.
"Nino, let me-" He pecked her on the lips. She blushed as she saw his face turn light pink.
"D-don't read too much into that. We can interrogate them when we finish." She nodded, still dazed. They continued.
Adrien sat in the player seat and was about to do the final night.
5th night, 9:50, 4 AM
"I swear to god, I'm going crazy. I'm going paranoid..."
"Check the c-cameras."
"Even so…OH GOD THEY'RE OUT, THEY ARE ALL OUT! Oh sassafras." Nino smiled a little at his friend's dialogue.
"You sound like Markiplier."
"Maybe I do, but IIIII…don't. Give. A POOP." Marinette giggled at her partner's antics. Nino looked at his friend on the screen.
"You know, I almost feel bad for him. He looks like he's losing his mind." Alya commented.
"He probably is." Nino quipped monotonously. Alya felt a bit bad for him. He had figured out that his friend was hiding something like this from him.
"Oh goddamn, why can't I be done alreadyyyy?" Adrien groaned.
"It's a demented Chuck E Cheese for God's sake. It's going to be the reason we end up not sleeping." Marinette quipped sarcastically.
"Well, I'm nocturnal." Adrien said nervously.
"So he's nocturnal now?" Nino said sarcastically.
"Oh no. I'm gonna die." He said nervously. Suddenly, before he ran out, they heard the doorbell. They were finished.
"…OHHHHH YEAHHHHHH! TAKE THAT YOU STUPID GAME!"
"ALYA, NINO, WE'RE FINISHED!" They screamed in joy. Alya and Nino ran up tiredly.
"See, it wasn't that bad." Nino said. They glared daggers.
"Oh no it was, we just don't have the energy to kill you right now.". The footage ended there, Alya and Nino in shock, anger, and a bit of hurt. Their best friends were secretly Ladybug and Chat Noir, and that was the ugly truth. Why wouldn't they tell them? Alya smacked her forehead, thinking of all the times Marinette wasn't there, when Ladybug was, as well as Adrien with Chat. She wanted to cry.
"I'm so stupid! All the evidence was there in front of me, and I was blind! But most of all, she lied to me! When I asked her if she had her textbook that day the pharaoh came, she said she might find it! The textbook I found was hers! Ugh!" She found herself being pulled to Nino's chest. He rubbed her back soothingly.
"Alya, calm down. They probably didn't tell us to protect us. Ever thought of it that way?" She looked at him.
"But still! She could have gotten killed, or injured! So could've Adrien!"
"Injured doing what?" The two in question walked towards the couch, where Alya was looking at Marinette specifically.
"Sit. We need to talk." Marinette and Adrien sat down and looked at Alya to let her speak.
"So, before you start judging us, we filmed you guys playing FNAF, and today, Nino and I were watching the footage, just to see how you guys took the game. We didn't expect to hear nicknames like Kitty and LB and Kitten and My Lady. And we're not stupid. Only one duo in Paris would have nicknames like that." The two were silent. They were caught. Alya looked at her best friend, hurt.
"Even if you wanted to protect me, you could have told me. Why?" Marinette immediately embraced her best friend.
"Because I would rather keep you safe than risk leaving you vulnerable. I'm sorry I didn't tell you Alya." The ombre haired girl smiled.
"Forgiven." Adrien looked at Nino, who was trying to look everywhere but his face.
"Nino, you know that I tell you everything. This was the one thing I couldn't tell you. And I did it because without you, who's going to be there to give me a normal teenage life with the best friend ever? I wouldn't lie to you if I knew it would hurt you." Nino smiled, and hugged his friend and pat him on the back.
"Thanks dude. Next time though, just tell me. My best friend's a superhero!" Marinette grinned.
"Now, delete the footage, and I'll make it up to you by taking you guys to the park, and making PANCAKES! HOW'S THAT SOUND?!" They all whooped as Alya went to go help Marinette make the pancakes, while Adrien looked at Nino seriously.
"Nino, you have to promise not to tell anyone. For safety's sake." Nino grinned
"As if I would." The two went upstairs to find their clothes that they would wear. They then found it and just talked for 20 minutes when the girls called them down. Adrien looked at Nino and asked him a question.
"Hey, when do you plan to ask out Alya? I know you like her."
"Yeah, and I know you like Marinette. When you asking her out, hmm?" Adrien rolled his eyes.
"Ask out Alya first, then talk to me." He smirked and ran downstairs, Adrien following him. Alya motioned them over to the table, where they sat and ate their pancakes. They finished a little while later and changed into nice clothes and Marinette alerted her parents that she left pancakes for them, and that they were going to the park. They left and arrived to the park moments later. Adrien looked at his schedule.
"Hmm, seems I have an outdoor photos hoot later."
"Let's go have fun, then we'll come back!" Alya said. They all went in pairs and went to different areas of the park.
5:30, During the photoshoot
With Alya and Nino
The two had done a lot. They went on the rollercoasters, merry-go-round and just had fun. Now the two were sitting on a bench waiting for Adrien. Alya looked up at Nino.
"It's really nice to just be outside, in the fresh air." Nino smiled at her.
"Yeah, it really is. Sometimes I wish there could be more times like this." Alya's hand brushed over his and he squeezed it, making her blush.
"Umm, Alya, I need t-to ask you something." She looked at him curiously.
"What's on your mind?" He faced her and looked her in the eyes.
"Alya, ever since we've gotten closer, I've realized how much we have in common, and how much I've missed about you…and how far I've fallen for you." The girl blushed crimson.
"N-nino?"
"Alya?"
"Y-yes, Nino?"
"Will you be my girlfriend, Alya?" Alya smiled from ear to ear. She pulled him closer.
"What do you think?" She whispered and kissed him, to which he didn't object. They pulled away a moment later, and Nino wrapped an arm around her shoulders as they watched Marinette and Adrien.
"We need to get them together at some point." Nino said, looking at his newfound girlfriend lovingly. She returned the look and nodded.
"Yeah, we really do. But for once, I'm the dork." Nino pecked her cheek.
"Maybe, but you're my dork."
"Wouldn't have it any other way."
