Confession

Part two

I do not own miraculous ladybug.

''I love you.''

(...)

'' I know you do'' Marinette answers with a playful tone after being silent for some time because of the shock of his sudden confession.

He is constantly reminding her of it with his flirting.

''No I mean it, I want us to be more then just partners!''

''No time for fooling around kitty.'' Marinette continues still not understanding he is serious, pushing him away by touching his nose.

''I'm not.'' Chat noir is defending his confession while looking at her with pleading eyes.

Marinette never expected Chat noir to confess his feelings like that. She never really expected them to be real. She thought he was just playing, kidding. But now when she looks at him, in his eyes, his gaze. She knows he really means it.

''Oh..I..I.'' marinette stutters while taking her hand out of Chat's grasp.

With a painful expression Chat let's go of her hand still waiting for an answer.

Marinette is at a loss for words. What should she say? She does like him but as friend right? She must admit she likes having him besides her but it is not love right? I mean being with him is fun but she loves Adrien right? Even though she finds it sometimes pretty fun reaction to his flirting. But she loves Adrien, she cannot love two guys right? She loves someone else... even though it seems Adrien isn't interested in her not that she knows for sure she just cannot get close enough for that. She is close to Chat noir. She does feel something for Chat noir but what it exactly is she doesn't know. Friendship right ? trust? She trusts him with her life after all. She doesn't want to betray her feelings for Adrien since she has had those for so long to try something that may not even be the same.

''I am sorry.''

she tries looking him in the eye but when she is in the middle of her sentence she turns her gaze to the ground while seeing his hurt expression.

'' I do not see you that way, to me we are just partners.''

That is right, that is how it's supposed to be. Being lovers would be just too complicated. They do not know each other identities and she likes to keep it that way. it is safer that way. for everyone.

''And... ''

she tries looking at the hurt kitty in front of her who still looks hopefully at her.

''I love someone else.''

And with that sentence she crushed the little hope Chat noir had left.
