Summary: She wanted to caught them in the act, but... From the "Secret" promt.
Keep a Secret
.
.
Plume Royal eyed the girl with pigtails suspiciously.
Everything she did looked…. Normal.
Too normal. In her opinion, the: I'm-defiently-not-hidding-anything-from-you-this-is-me-acting-normal.
Since when Marinette found time to do homework, design and sew something new when listening to music without falling asleep on her bed in exhaustion?
The feathered hero had been doing this since the beginning of the day, much to her kwami's charging.
"You need to stop stalking Marinette, Alya! First in school, now her home, really?!"
But she couldn't.
Not after finding out her best friends little secret.
She had been inviting Chat Noir over to see movies and eat cookies. Without her!
The betrayal!
Alya had immediately jumped to the conclusion that that was the reason for why her best friend had been so tired lately, hosting the pun-loving cat definitely had to become tiring over time.
Not that Alya didn't like Chat Noir. He was a funny guy, reckless and in love with Ladybug. Why was he suddenly coming to visit Marinette was also one of the reasons she was spying on her best friend.
She wanted answers. From Marinette and her reason to only host Chat Noir in her home and from Chat Noir and his reason to come to her best friend's house and leaving her exhausted. Especially if the guy was pinning for Ladybug.
So she had decided to spy and caught them in the act.
Duusu had been against it, claiming that spying on superhero partners and best friends was a violation of privacy and a misuse of the Peacock Brooch.
"But it doesn't hurt not listening once in a while, right?" Alya thought as she continued to spy on Marinette, who was still seemingly working on a project of hers.
Just when she was starting to get impatient, a familiar cat hero soon appeared on the rooftop of the Dupain-Cheng house hold. Chat Noir took a look around himself before taking a small leap towards the balcony.
Plume smirked. Now she just had to wait for Mari to open the window, let them get comfy for a moment before comforting them.
However, her smirk soon left her face when she realized Chat looked troubled as he gently knocked on the window to Marinette's room. The girl stopped working on her project, looking up the window with what Plume Royal could only interpret as an equal troubled look before getting up to open the glass pane to let him in.
They were silent before Marinette started speaking, and a little later Chat was talking back, both engaging in a conversation that, by the looks of it, seemed to have an emotional toll on the two teens.
Plume soon started to question if this was really a good idea, maybe actually listening to Duusu would have been the right thing to do. Whatever Marinette and Chat Noir had going on… it probably wasn't really her business.
"It isn't your business at all!" Duusu vibrated from inside the brooch.
"Yeah, yeah, I get it" Plume Royal muttered to the jewel. "I got hit with reporter's guilt"
"Gee, wonder why"
"Don't get sassy on me" Plume whispered as she got up from her hiding spot. She took one last look towards Marinette and Chat Noir…. And her jaw dropped.
Because Marinette wasn't talking with Chat Noir. At all.
She was kissing him. And he was kissing her back.
"Oh… my… god" Plume said as she kept watching, mouth agape, the scene in front of her.
Just when she was debating how she was going to keep this secret…. A flash of green enveloped Chat Noir., leaving Adrien Agreste, Sunshine Boy™ and Marinette's crush standing in his place. Marinette, instead of acting surprised or running away, simply giggled and enveloped him in another kiss.
"Okay…. Alya, just keep this to yourself and-" Duusu started to say until Plume Royal screamed:
"HOW THE FRICK AM I SUPPOSED TO KEEP THIS TO MY SELF?!"
To add a little insight: Marinette and Chat Noir were having the popular Marichat friendship, and then LB and CN discovered each other's identities. The conversation on Mari's room was them talking it out. Alya/Plume Royal discovered that CN and Marinette were spending time together, and got a bit jealous and deciced to spy on them.
