Salut Miraculers! I've had some writer's block so I'm not sure how this turned out, but I still hope you enjoy it anyways. Also Alya knows about Marinette's and Chat Noir 'relationship', but still doesn't know she's Ladybug.
*This takes place a couple days after Chat runs into Marinette*
Chapter 2
"Alya, Alya calm down ok? No need to get all paranoid on me"
"Marinette" my best friend exhaled through the phone. "I'm telling you the truth I know these things, and I know they never end well"
I rolled my eyes as my best friend whined about the rules of dating, since she and Nino had entered that awkward stage of " I like you, but I'm still not really ready", and their was nothing I could really do to try to calm her down, since I myself had no romantic knowledge, unless you count that spark between me and Chat.
As my mind found it's way back to me and Paris' most famous hero steamy midnight kisses I had almost forgotten about my best friend who was on the other end of the line.
"Girl, you still there?" Alya said a familiar worriedness replacing her more eccentric tone.
"Y-Yeah" I stuttered out "I was just thinking"
"Are you sure you ok? I mean I could come over if you want to.. ya know have a shoulder to cry on"
I chuckled "Does that even sound like me?"
"Well I mean..."
"Wait...what are you implying" I said taking on a serious tone. Usually one only reserved for Chat.
"Nothing" she stifled a laugh "Shoot, I have to go or I'll be late!"
"Yeah" I grinned "You don't want to keep your date waiting"
"It's not a date Marinette" Alya shouted, and I could practically see her stomping her foot. " It's just a friendly gathering"
"Right, friendly gathering, but either way you'll still get a kiss out of this gathering"
"Oh... Shut up Marinette" she said hanging up quickly, leaving me to wipe the tears threatening the corners of my eyes
As I squatted on top of a roof, I wondered what Chat was doing right now. Homework? Sports?. Guessing since he looked like the type of guy to be out their, on the field, sweating, while girls probably cheered his name, and fainted at his perfect smile.
I was interrupted from the thought, when a curious voice filled the piercing silence. "My Lady? What are you doing here?" the voice said, as mixed emotions hung heavily around me, and the intruder.
"Enjoying the rain Chaton" I said running a finger threw my pigtails "Would you like to join me?"
He looked around nervously before coming to sit by my side, but not before making a noise which sounded awfully close to a purr.
"You purr, kitty" I whispered as a sly grin crossed my face.
Chat looked at me stringing together incoherent sentences, as he fought the blush that was rising from his neck to his cheeks. Finally calmed down enough in a low voice he said "M-Maybe".
I stared at him "Well nothing to be ashamed of we all have our flaws, or in your case uniqueness".
"Yeah, right" he said as we fell yet again into another deep silence, only the kind of silence that bad thought never dared to show.
For what felt like an eternity that had past Chat silently lifted his head, and turned towards me "Ladybug?"
"Yes"
"Can I tell you something... personal?" he breathed waiting for the rejection that he was sure of.
"Oui"
"Ok then...so their is this girl her name is Marinette you know the one you asked me to protect from the Evillustrator?"
I felt my heart sink to my knees. What was he going to say, that I was Naïve? Clumsy? Or that it was for the best that we broke off are intimacy?
"Yeah, why do you ask?
"Well... it's...just that" he paused, and peered at me "I...kinda...have these feelings for her"
I froze, this isn't happening. Out of all people it had to be me...
"Why" I ask hoping it came out more of just curious than nosy.
"Well I don't know yet their is just something about her, s-she reminds me of you"
I choked, on what I have no idea, but I needed a reason to get out of their, leave, he was too close, I could feel it.
As I flew across Paris city lights flashed, couples danced, and I found myself questioning my sanity. When I landed somewhat gracefully onto my lantern lit-balcony I looked at the kwami that slept peacefully in my hands, and smiled.
"Oh Tikki" I laugh "What have I gotten myself into?"
Ok so we are progressing a little slowly, but things will speed up, and romance will blossom (I know I can be weird sometimes). Anywho I will try to update faster, remember I said try. Until then I'd love to hear all your comments (about the story, about Volpina, etc. etc.)
