READ THE NOTE AT THE END

(This chapter is set after the Evillustrator EP, so a long time before this story starts...)

Adrien's POV

I couldn't stop thinking about her.
Her midnight hair, her blue eyes that light up when she talks about stuff she loves. But the main thing that was running through my mind was her personality. She changed so much! Gone was the shy, clumsy girl who sat behind me in class; the Marinette I saw today...wow....she was amazing.

I know I'm betraying my lady by thinking this, and I know that this could never turn into anything more than a stupid unrequited love if I let it....but...all I want to know is if she's thinking of me too.

•Marinette's POV•

Damn beating heart, why won't you slow down?! Okay...yes..I'll admit it...he looked attractive today but our relationship is strictly platonic and that's not gonna change! I love Adrien..not Chat Noir..or at least I don't think I do...no, love is a very strong word that isn't associated with Chat in a romantic way. Never has been and never will be...right..? Just because my heart races from his touch, I always smile around him and I constantly think about him doesn't mean I like him...right?

Let's just say...hypothetically, even we did turn into something it would never work. I would be putting his identity at risk, and myself. If hawkmoth realises we were together....hypothetically...he would probably target me even more than he already does as a way to get to Chat. No..I could never do that to him. That's exactly why this hypothetical relationship would never work.....hypothetically..because there's no relationship there...no romantic feelings. Well, none that he'd ever return. For some reason, that thought alone made my heart sink.

You know what...fuck this. I like Chat Noir and the thought of him not liking me back is horrible.

•Adrien's POV•
"Listen, Kid. It's obvious you like this girl! So why don't you just go over and tell her?!" Plagg groaned, he had gotten annoyed by my apparent 'constant whining.' "Go over to see her....sure, tell her how I feel...never." And with that last word I transformed and headed straight towards my favourite bakery.

The second I looked through her window I knew I was doomed. Marinette sat on her bed reading, she had on some big nerdy glasses and her hair in a bun. And damn she looked gorgeous. She'd changed out of her usual attire and was now wearing a big baggy jumper and shorts, my heart sped up and I was about to leave because I just knew that I wouldn't be able to hold back if I went in there. That was until....
"Chat?"
Shit. I could've turned and ran, make her think it was all part of her imagination..but I didn't. Something about her was intriguing and forcing me to stay exactly where I was. So I did.
"H-Hey Puuurincess. I was on Patrol and thought I'd see if your okay."

•Marinette's POV•

Damn it Noir. You just had to appear with that cocky smirk, and messy hair. Basically, he looked damn attractive. I swear that he noticed my irregular breathing because he winked at me and it sent my heart into overdrive...again. I unlocked the balcony doors and the cold flew into my room."I'm fine. But you must be freezing! Come in and warm up!" Why, why did I invite him in. It's official, I'm an idiot! "Wow..uh yeah thanks." Chat answers, clearly taken aback from my sudden offer.

•Adrien's POV• (so many changes..oops)

I walked into her room and looked around..until my eyes fell onto the wall above her desk. Many...many photos of me were stuck up above her bed, and a few were framed on her desk. Okay Adrien, before you start to fangirl, how about we investigate this a bit.
"Hey, isn't that that model guy?" I said as calmly as possible. Nailed it.
"Um yeah, I'm a real big fan of his fathers work. I wish to be as successful as Gabriel is one day. Traveling around the world," she turned her head to look at me, "and going to fashion shows that include my designs! That's the dream. Anyway, I'm going to get a hot chocolate. Want one?" I nodded.
"So, do you like this guy?" I noticed her stiffen, I felt bad for putting her on the spot like this but I just had to know.
"Curiosity killed the cat." She retorted in a sing-song voice as she walked downstairs. "But satisfaction brought it back!"

*Laughs nervously..* I KNOW IT'S SHORT, and I know i haven't updated in a month..😳 But I have good reasons: I was on holiday with NO wifi, my social anxiety has worsened so I just haven't been in the mood to write.
ALSO, I'm gonna start normal stories *le gasp* but not on this acc! On Spe11books ❤️ My updates should be more regular now, I've set up a little inspiration area that includes some fanart I've been sent (which makes me extremely happy when you guys send it to me.). But yeah, starting from the next chapter the new description will start to make sense........*pauses for dramatic effect..*
