IM BAAAAAAAAAAAACK! Hey everybody its Noizy here, bringing you a new update to my story, it took me a little bit more time to write not because it was hard to write, but I was brainstorming ideas for future chapters and such, at first this wasn't gonna be a reveal fic but i can slowly see how I could make it work, let me know if you want me to turn this into a reveal fic, but anyway here's Marinettes's side of the story
I DONT OWN MIRACULOUS, ALL CHARACTERS OWNED BY THOMAS ASTRUC AND ZAG TOONZ
"Tikki, can I ask you your opinion on something?"
"It looks great, Marinette, all the hard work is paying off, and I'm sure it will turn out great!" Tikki swiftly answered. Marinette giggle while turning from her work bench, where her latest project currently lay, "Thanks Tikki, but that isn't what I was talking about." Marinette replied to the small red Kwami. "Oh then what exactly did you mean Marinette?"
Marinette took a second to better form the question in her mind, "Has Chat Noir seemed a little...off recently?" She used hand gestures to try to better illustrate her point. Tikki gave her a puzzled look, "You mean as if something has been bothering him and it's affecting him?" Tikki asked, "YES! exactly Tikki." Marinette responded, however she suddenly put her head down and sighed, "I wanna ask him what's wrong, but I worry that would be too intrusive into his personal life, ya know? Yet, I just have this gut FELINE..." Marinette quickly covered her mouth with her hands while Tikki gave her an "I heard that" grin. "FEELING, that something is up with him and I want to help." Tikki floated down in front of Marinette's face, "Marinette..." She began, "It's never a bad thing to express concern for a friend." Tikki concluded, offering the advice with a small smile.
"Friend..." Marinette's thoughts had stopped, and her mind centered on this one word uttered by Tikki. "Were they friends?" She pondered, she thought they were. In all honesty, she believed they were best friends. Admittedly, they didn't act like it though. In a way, they acted more like...co-workers, two people coming together to perform a job and then they just leave. The creation of this situation was, in a way, her own doing. See, because of her responsibilities in her civilian life (her designing, school, and being class representative to name a few), she tried to find ways to be more time productive in the activities she partook in. So that, she would never be in a pinch in one aspect of her life, because of a need for her attention in another facet. For this reason, whenever the need arose for her to transform into the miraculous ladybug, this ideal made her want to complete whatever the task at hand, whether an akuma or patrol, as quickly and efficiently as possible so that she could then move on another priority in her life. While this worked like a charm...Marinette slapped her palm to her fore-head, "That Chat might be rubbing off on me." While it worked, it usually meant that any type of messing around or just goofing off was cut out. The completion of the mission was always at the forefront. Coupled with the the fact she had made it explicitly clear she didn't want them revealing anything about their civilian lives, (She appreciated that he respected the request so thoroughly). This meant...well it meant they never really talked. FURther..."Damn cat" Marinette thought. Furthermore it made Marinette very serious about getting things done...maybe a little too serious. "He probably thinks im just a stick in the mud..."
"Well, maybe that's why he's such a perfect fit for you" Tikki said, again offering some of her endless wisdom with a smile.
Once again Marinette couldn't really argue with Tikki. She could admit that she was prone to becoming a liiiittle to serious on the battlefield at times. She would be so worried about how to deal with an Akuma, or the damage it would cause, that she would lose herself in her own mind trying to figure out a solution. Until however, Chat Noir would CHAT..."excuse me" she said...Chat noir would CRACK some lame pun or joke that...
"It's so cute and funny how you act like you hate all of his jokes" Tikki suddenly interrupted, giggling. "Whoops!" a small blush formed on Marinette's cheeks, had she said that out loud? She hoped she did, because if she didn't, that meant Tikki could read minds, and that was REALLY BAD, for recently she had, had some very..."r-rated"... thought about her crush Adrien Agreste. She blushed even harder, but then sighed dreamily, "Ahhhhh, Adrien..."
"Yes, you did say that out loud, Marinette." Tikki said, failing to contain her laughter
"Oh ok, good." was Marinette's response.
This caused Tikki to stifle her laughter even harder (In all actuality, Tikki could read minds , and knew about her chosen's thoughts. She decided however, to keep it a secret for now. She didn't want Marinette to pass out from embarrassment), "Anyway, back to the point. " Tikki said, still giggling to herself.
"Like I was saying..." Marinette said, eying Tikki wearily. Chat would make some joke that she couldn't help but giggle or smile at, (She also appreciated he never made any crude or rude jokes as he had said himself, "I don't need to be vulgar to be funny"), and this one small act usually, not only brought her back to reality, but for some reason a plan of attack of attack would always come to her immediately. Weirdly enough, it always seemed to work too. So were they friends? She liked to think so, even if they, or rather she, didn't really act like it.
"If, it's any consolation Marinette, I whole-heartedly believe he feels the same." Tikki said, giving Marinette a huge grin. It was infectious, as Marinette couldn't help but smile with her Kwami.
"Thanks Tikki, Chat Noir really...
"Marinette, Chat Noir is trying to contact you." Tikki interrupted suddenly. This came as a surprise to Marinette. "Really? Why? Is it an Akuma?" She quickly got out of her chair ready to get to the battle field asap. "No, there would've been some report of it, and I would've had some sense of it. "Oh, ok. Well still lets transform and answer him, TIKKI, SPOTS ON!" She was then engulfed in a flash of red light and was transformed in to Ladybug, the lucky, yo-yo wielding half of Paris's super duo. She opened op her yo-yo, and accepted the call...
"Hello?" she answered
"Hello Ladybug. How are you today? I hope I didn't disturb you doing anything?"
"Strike one." Marinette thought, he always called her bugaboo when he called her...not that she liked it or anything, she swore she heard Tikki giggling in her mind
"Not at all Kitty, wassup?"
"I just wanted to inform you that unfortunately, due to prior engagements in my civilian life, I can't be there for patrol today."
"Strike two." He missed two PURRfe...I mean perfect...opportunities to make a couple cat puns.
"No problem, i think I can manage it today." Marinette replied
"Great, Thanks Ladybug." and with that he signed off.
"And strike three." she thought. Not only had he missed three opportunities to make puns, he did not make one flirty comment, "Not that I care..." She thought (She swore she could hear Tikki laughing).
She then de-transformed back into Marinette and let Tikki her hands. "Marinette, what are you gonna do?" Tikki questioned her chosen. Marinette thought, "Something is definitely up with Chat Noir, unfortunately, we don't know what, so we gotta let him deal with it." The idea of her not wanting to reveal their civilian lives had come to mind. Marinette offered a smile small, "For now, you and I are gonna finish this new dress I've been working on." Tikki giggled "Sounds like a plan." She returned to the desk with Tikki on her shoulder, unaware of what the day would bring and how it would change everything she thought she knew.
