Sorry this chapter has been delayed, I've been struggling on where I wanted this chapter to go and it made it difficult, however I've given my best shot. On with the story.


Mr. Mystery Boy.

Chapter 6.

It's been along week and an half for both Marinette and Adrien, both don't know how much easier their lives could be if they knew a 'small' secret the other had. But they don't, which caused Marinette to spend the week failing to score a date with Adrien and finishing her own dress. It also caused Adrien to overthink a certain topic without an easy solution.


"Plagg stop, I'm not even that curious, okay." Adrien said, rolling his eyes.

"Like I'd believe that! You've been nonstop complaining and thinking about it! And you don't even realise you've been doing it!" Plagg huffed, getting more and more annoyed.

"Plagg enough, I have not been thinking about it nonstop, it's Marinette's life and her choice, she felt comfortable telling Cat about her personal life and not Adrien, even though Adrien is there more and seem more of the type to be able to tell secrets too, it's not even that big of a deal."

"See! There you go AGAIN! It's a real wonder how you are so damn oblivious to your own actions." Plagg said, clearly tired by the arugement. Before Adrien could reply, he felt Plagg zip into his shirt, also hearing a knock on his door.

"Adrien, you have to go get your suit fitted before school." A calm voice said, from the other side of his door.

"Coming!" Adrien yelled as he grabbed his bag and headed for the door.


The suit fitting took forever and so did the school day. Adrien was beyond happy when it was over and he some free time in his schedule to do as he pleased. Obviously he transformed into Cat Noir, to Plaggs dissatisfaction at first, seeing the kwami didn't want to transform in the rain. However he convinced him and not long after had been running from rooftop to rooftop for about ten minutes when he missed judged a jump, falling almost face first into concrete.

"Cat? What are you doing here? You scared me." A voice questioned.

Cat looked up only seeing to bright blue eyes in his face. He breathed a sigh of relief but also of self embarrassment, his lady had just seen him fall, very clumsily, he might add.

"I'm sorry, M'Lady that wasn't my intension." He got up, hearing only a gasp from next to him. Looking over he only was a girl with hot pink pants and a black umbrella not a red spandex.

"Oh, I'm sorry Marinette." Cat said shaking his head, maybe he did hit it?

"It's ok." The girl breathed and laughed nervously. Moving the umbrella a bit cover both of them.

"Are you okay?" Cat asked, he was only used to this Mairnette inside school hours.

"Yes I'm fine, it's just I'm not used to being mistaken for a superhero." Marinette laughed again.

"I'm having a hard time believing that princess, I'm sure you would be great superhero material." Cat 'joked' while wiggling his eyebrows playfully. Only to receive another nervous laugh, he thought it might be better to change the subject.

"So how Mr. Mystery Crush doing?" Cat asked, really that's the best he could come up with?

"Complete failure, I'm sure I'll never move past being a stuttering mess around him."

"How long have you been stuttering around him?"

"Well it was when I first started to like him, at first it was only a small crush because of his act of kindness but I'm pretty sure it's grow into something else now." Marinette sighed.

"So you feel for Mystery Boy because of his act of kindness." Cat laughed.

"No." Marinette said rather bluntly. Causing Cat to look at her confused.

"I fell for him because he was kind to everyone, you know the first time we meet, I disliked him because I judged him because of his backstory sorta thing. Then even though I was ignoring him, he kept trying. He grew up in a privileged background and could've been friends with anyone he wished but instead he wanted to make things right and gave me this very umbrella when I was caught in the rain." Mairnette stopped herself after she realised she was rambling.

Cat's brain was almost ticking over, something about this story made his brain think but it was stopping itself somehow.

"Sorry for rambling, here take this." Marinette said holding out a packet of pink bubblegum and a black umbrella. She smiled and sighed at the umbrella it seemed.

"I'm out the front of my house anyway, and I accidentally bought the wrong chewy, I don't eat the stuff after the incident that made my dislike 'Mr Mystery Boy' And dont ask about that story it's a confusing one." She laughed and smiled at Cat as she entered her building.

"See you next time, Cat Noir."

Adrien brain hurt even more now, it was to confusing. He looked up at the umbrella he was now holding. Hoping some sort of answer would fall out of the sky, but only seeing the official Gabriel logo and the limited addition signature. This must've been the umbrella he had given her after the bubblegum incident...

Then finally it ticked over.

PINK bubblegum incident, check.

Privileged background, check.

Act of kindness, check.

Stuttering around him only, check.

Umbrella gift, check.

Mairnette was a designer too, she would've noticed the limited addition signature from across the room, yet she hadn't sold it for thousands of dollars, she had kept it. Because...

He was Mr. Mystery Boy. Her crush and the boy it seemed as though she loved.


Adrien leapt back into his room de-transformating in the process, he suddenly felt very guilty, he had been so stupid. He couldn't lead his friend on like this, he'd probably only been incourage her in his superhero form. He has to set things straight, after tonight's dance, he won't ruin her night. She deceived that much.

Speaking of the dance, he had to get ready and quick. Calling Nino as he finished putting on the main shirt and pants of the suit. It was a little over ten minutes before the cap wearing boy showed up. Adrien had decided to keep his realisation to himself for now. It took about an hour for them to finish getting ready, heading out to Adrien's limo, Nino questioned...

"Do you want me to call Ayla now?"

"What? Why?"

"Remember? You, me, Ayla and Marinette are all going to show up together?"

"Oh right, sorry, yeah tell them we are on our way." Adrien said, wondering how awkward this might be. 'No' the thought, it will only be awkward if he made it so. There's nothing to worry about, right?
