Returning To You

Chapter 13- Mission Failed

Chat noir POV-

Going to Mari's house, i rethink over what i'm wanting to achieve on this mission.

To tell her that i have feelings for her, and maybe, just maybe if she feels the same way, i can get a kiss.

I just hope she doesn't push me away just because i like her.

On the way there, i decide that i can't just show up with nothing, that shows that i'm lazy, and that i don't care.

I should definitely get her flowers, But what kind? Shit, i've never asked her what her favourite flowers are.

Going to the first flower shop i caught sight of, i go in feeling nervous.

"Hey, um, what's a good bouquet of flowers to get someone you like?" i question starching the back of my head, feeling awkward.

"Don't worry young man, i have the perfect ones for you," She smiles at me, then goes to work putting together a bouquet of flowers that are so colourful.

Once she finishes it, she hands it to me, looking at me for approval.

I nod my head eagerly, "These are perfect, Thank you," i grin at her. I pay, leaving the store with a huge smile on my face.

Walking through the buildings i go over everything i could say, so nothing can go wrong.

I've been planning to tell her that i like her, and i want us to be a thing, but Only if she feels the same way of course.

Finally satisfied with my plan, I spot her bakery and head on over to her balcony, plopping down, i take a few seconds to calm down my nerves and open her hatch.

"Hey princess," I grin at her with a boyish grin.

"Chat!" she squeals jumping up, she pulls me down into her room and hugs me, But not before i drop the flowers outside so she doesn't see them.

Wrapping her small arms around my neck, she jumps up and puts her legs around me, holding herself up.

Laughing, i hug her back. She's so cute when she does that.

"I've missed you, kitty," she grins at me, poking my cheek where my dimple is.

"I've missed you too princess," My heart swells at the breathtaking smile she flashes at me. She's just so beautiful.

"So, what brings you here?" she questions.

"Well, i'll show you in a second," i put her down and go up the hatch, just to see my hopes crushed into pieces.

The flowers are half gone, half shredded. Who done this? Why me? Why now? Why?

"Fuck," I curse under my breath. What am i going to do now? i said i'll show her something, but now that it's gone,i've got nothing to show.

Pulling at the ends of my hair, i take a deep breath. Racking my brain with excuses, i can only come up with the lamest one.

Going down into her room again, i prepare to see her disappointed eyes, but instead i see her going through her closet, throwing clothes everywhere.

"What are you doing?" i question, genuinely curious as to why she's raiding her closet like a mad women.

"Well, me and Alya are going out, and i need to wear something," she turns to look at me.

She-she's leaving? just when i came?

"Oh, where are you guys going?" i question trying to keep my tone happy, to not show how upset i am that she's leaving.

"Well, me and alya thought that we could go to a party for change, well it's Chloe's party, but whatever," she waves her hand off at that.

Oh yeah, i completely forgot Chloe invited me. I guess i'll go with her, as adrien of course.

"Well, you could wear that black silky dress that i see," I point to where it's hidden.

"Oh, uh- i don't think i could ever wear that," she says quietly looking down.

"Well why not?"

"Because i don't like how it looks on me," she mumbles.

Slowing walking up to her, i cup my hands on her cheeks, face cheeks, and i look her in the eyes.

"You look beautiful in anything you wear, i promise," I speak slowly, hoping she understands what i'm saying.

"Thank you, ill try it on then," she smiles at me before grabbing it out the closet and heading to the bathroom to change.

"Do you have to change in there? why not in front of me?" I smirk.

"Shut up Kitty," she exclaims closing the door.

Laughing i wait. Once she opens the door and steps out my mouth is practically on the floor.

"You look breathtakingly gorgeous," i reply walking up to her and placing my hands on her hips.

"Thanks," she grins up at me. Kissing my cheek she goes to do her makeup.

I still can't get over how she does that so casually while i'm freaking out in the inside.

"Well, i have a lot to do, so i think i'll go for now," i says pointing my fingers at her hatch door.

"Already? but i just saw you after a while," she looks at me frowning.

But i'll see you later at Chloes party, i want to say but refrain myself.

"I know, i'm sorry i'm just really busy these days," I look down at her apologetically.

"Fine," she huffs.

Opening up my arms, i look at her expectingly.

She shakes her head.

"Heyyyy! come onnn!" i whine pouting.

She smiles, stands up going to the end of her room. I'm wondering what's she's about to do when she charges at me, then jumps onto me.

She's so cute, i just which i could've told her how i feel today, but things just had to go wrong. The flowers just had to get ruined. It's like the universe is telling me it's not the right time.

I'm still mad though.

After she's comfortably on me, i hold onto her thighs, keeping her up. Putting my face into her neck, i breathe in her scent. Vanilla and cinnamon, just how i remember it.

Finally letting go, i head out going to go change and head to Chloes party.

I'll see you later Marinette Dupain-Cheng.
