Ladybug stared at Cat Noir blankly.
Cat Noir tilted his head.
"L-Ladybug?"
Ladybug then snapped out of it.
"YOU KNOW MARINETTE?!" Ladybug squeaked.
"Y-Yeah? Wait, you know her?!" Cat Noir asked.
"I have to go." Ladybug stood up and grabbed her yo-yo.
"Wait, M'Lady what's wrong? I-" Cat Noir began.
But he was too late, Ladybug had already left.

Marinette took a run early that morning.
She hoped it would clear her mind, but it just provoked more thoughts.
She shook it off and sped up.
"Wah!" Marinette ran into something, tripping her.
She looked back to see Adrien laying on the ground.
"A-Adrien! I'm so sorry, I-" Marinette gasped.
"No, no it's alright. Sorry, I-"
"Oh, Adrikins!"
Adrien was cut off by a loud squeal.
Chloe ran up beside him and took his arm. She narrowed her eyes at Marinette.
"Hello, Chloe." Marinette said coldly.
Chloe whipped her hair and got up close to Adrien.
"Adrikins, you should tell Marinette about us!" She said.
"I don't think-" Adrien began but Chloe put her index finger over his lips.
"I don't think Daddy would be very happy with that." She whispered, making sure Marinette couldn't hear.
"Y-Yeah. Uh-Marinette. Chloe and I are... Dating..." Adrien said.
Marinette's ground fell.
She felt her heart break inside of her.
She looked down with a dark and blank face.
"I see." She murmured.
Adrien stepped forward.
"Marinette, I-"
Marinette shook him off and ran away.
-
Marinette dove into her bed, sobbing.
"Marinette, don't cry! It's Adrien's loss!" Tikki tried to reassure her.
"I knew he didn't care for me! I'm so stupid! I thought, "just maybe he likes me!" But I was wrong!" Marinette cried into her pillow.
"Marinette..." Tikki murmured.
Marinette rubbed her eyes and sat up.
She stood up.
"Tikki, can I be alone?" Marinette asked.
Tikki nodded.
Marinette walked out onto her balcony.
She looked up into the starry sky, feeling tears stream down her cheeks.
She looked down to see the Lucky Charm Adrien gave her.
She grabbed it in her hand and her tears fell onto it.
She shook her head and in fury she threw the Lucky Charm as far as she could.
She quickly regretted it but shook it off.
"Marinette?" She heard from behind her.
Marinette whipped around to see Cat Noir.
"Cat Noir? W-What are you doing here?" Marinette quickly wiped her tears.
Cat Noir hopped down and looked at her.
"Why are you crying?" He asked.
"Crying? I-I'm not crying!" Marinette said.
Cat Noir rolled his eyes.
"Okay, okay. I am. But it doesn't matter. A guy I liked acted like he cared for me... As more than a friend... But today I found out he's dating this horrible, selfish brat of a girl. I never thought he would ever be so naive." Marinette sniffed.
Cat Noir felt his heart skip a beat.
She's talking about me and Chloe! Wait... Marinette likes me?!
"Woah... That's uh... Deep. I'm going through something too. This girl is blackmailing me and using me. Whenever I try to make my own decisions she uses her power against me. This is keeping me from doing anything that I want." He said.
"R-Really?" Marinette asked.
"Yeah... It sucks..." Quickly changing the subject, "so, Ladybug and I were talking about you today!" He said.
"You were? W-Why?" Marinette asked, obviously knowing why.
"You reminded me a bit of her..." He said.
"Oh! Er-Cool." Marinette sighed.
Cat Noir took Marinette hand and pulled her in close.
"Huh?! What are you-"
"Hold tight. We're going somewhere." He said.
"O-Oka-AHHHHH!" Marinette screamed as he extended his pole high into the air.
She clung onto him tightly.
Cat Noir chuckled and they went to the Eiffel Tower.
They sat up top, looking down on the beautiful Paris lights.
"Wow... They're so pretty." Marinette said.
"They are. B-But not as pretty as you!" He stuttered.
Marinette chuckled.
"Thanks." She tickled his chin.
A purr escaped his mouth.
Marinette widened her eyes.
Cat Noir blushed.
"That's new." He explained.
Marinette laughed.
Cat Noir smiled.
"But... It's true." He said.
Marinette blushed and looked out onto Paris.
"Y'know Cat... I thought you were... Honestly... A flirt. But... Seeing you now... You're so much more." She said.
Cat Noir smiled a bit.
Suddenly Cat Noir's Miraculous beeped.
"Marinette, I have to take you home. I have four minutes until my Miraculous runs out." He said.
"Oh... Alright." Marinette said.
-
When they arrived at Marinette's house. Cat Noir got ready to leave.
"Goodnight, Marinette. If I could give you any advice on that guy... Is that, well, maybe there was more to the situation. Maybe he really doesn't want to be dating that girl. He could be like in my situation, where he's being forced." He said.
Marinette looked at him.
"O-Okay. And Cat?"
"Yeah?" Cat Noir turned back.
"Th-Thank you." She said, kissing him on the cheek.
Cat Noir smiled and grabbed her hands, pulling her in for a real kiss.
He then quickly pulled away.
His eyes widened larger than an owls.
He grabbed his pole and ran off.
Marinette stared after him blankly.
Tikki flew over.
"Marinette...?"
"I kissed a cat and I... Liked it."
