Chapter Text
Marinette. Had. Had. It.
Due to Chat Noir's frequent rooftop visits, and Hawk Moth going all out with the akumas (Seriously, daily attacks? Papillon, get a life.), he'd been rubbing off a lot on her.
While it wasn't wholly bad, what with her not acting like a stuttering yandere every time Adrien so much as looked at her, she also maybe-probably-definitely flirted with Adrien Agreste.
Adrien. Agreste.
"Tikki!" Marinette grabbed a room as she threw down her schoolbag, grabbing a pillow.
"Marinette, it's not that ba--"
Marinette buried her face in the pillow. "I-" *SMACK* "Flirted-" *SMACK* "With-" *SMACK* "Adrien-" *SMACK* "Agreste!"
"Well, what was his reaction?" The kwami asked.
"That's not the point! Thanks to Chat, I flirted with--" She took a deep breath. "CAT PUNS!"
The little god sighed as her mistress ran across the room in a panic. Grabbing a pen, Tikki hit the panicking superhero on the head lightly.
"What was that for, Tikki?"
"Just... Just tell me what you said and his reaction. Then, you can continue your hyperventilation spree."
She sat down in her chair. "I was hanging out with Nino, Alya and Adrien on the playground. Adrien asked as a joke if anybody liked him. 'Paw-lease, of course, there is.' And I winked!" Marinette turned as red as Nathaniel's hair. "I WINKED, TIKKI!"
The kwami rubbed a hand against her forehead. "What were their reactions?"
"Nino tried to high-five me, Alya stood there shocked and Adrien, well, he smirked at me. This is a disaster, Tikki!"
The kwami patted her owner on the shoulder.
"Take a shower, Mari. It'll clear your thoughts."
The bluenette smiled at her companion. "Thanks, Tikki."
A few hours later, when Chat Noir turned up, his tail got sandwiched in a mouse trap.
The leather-clad superhero winced in pain as he pulled it off his tail.
"What's this... A note?"
"Dear Chat Noir, make one more damn pun when we're together, and I'll kill you. Sincerely, Marinette."
