Chapter Text
Almost everyone's dreams had come true. Adrinette was finally canon. Now lately, everything hasn't been like it always has in Francis Dupont. People were starting to believe in the worst in Marinette. It wasn't that bad, just that she was worse than her usual sunshiney self, so they kind of distanced themselves from her, but they were still friendly with each other. Chloe and Mari became friends during this situation. The two put aside their crush on Adrien and actually found out that they could actually tolerate each other.
If you want to know how this all came to be, it happened because of Lila. Lila spread a few tales here and there and suddenly, some people doubted Marinette. Chloe finally apologized to Marinette for how she treated her. Marinette, understanding that the girl didn't grow up in a household that would actually tell her what's right and what's right, accepted it. It was weird at first, but it worked out.
Now for how Adrienette got together, Adrien realized that whenever Mari was around Luka, he got jealous. Well Plagg basically screamed it in his face and teased him about it, so he got the courage to ask her. The two started to date and sooner or later, they became boyfriend and girlfriend.
Well, even though Chloe and Marinette were friends, that didn't change the fact that she had a crush on Adrien. She was happy that one of her only friends was happy, but she felt like her heart had been stomped on and spit out.
I still remember third of December
Me in your sweater, you said it looked better
On me, than it did you, only if you knew
Chloe could remember the times when it was just her and Adrien when they were younger. Back when he was her only friend. He would always look out for her since he knew that her parents didn't give her enough attention. He would play with her even more when it looked like her parents were ignoring her. He would volunteer to have a tea party with her to stop her from going to her parents. When her parents didn't acknowledge the weather changing from hot to cold, he would give her his sweater. He would always say it fit her perfectly and that she should keep it. He didn't know how much a complement meant to her at the time since she never got attention from anyone she personally knew. Compliments made her feel as if she was the only girl in the world worth knowing.
She's not sure if Adrien knew the stuff he did when he was younger was something people did to help someone they really cared about. Like someone they wanted to be together with. Doing those things put ideas into her head.
How much I liked you, but I watch your eyes
As she walks by
What a sight for sore eyes
Brighter than the blue sky
She's got you mesmerized
While I die
Adrien was one known to be oblivious when it came to people having crushes on him. Chloe could confirm it was true. Three girls in his class had a crush on him and he had no clue. It was kind of sad.
Chloe, before the two got together, saw how Adrien looked at Marinette. No matter how many times he insisted that she was just a friend, he wouldn't look at her the same. He would stare at her with admiration and adore, while he looked at anyone else just like they were a normal person. Chloe, for years, wanted him to look at her like that. Tried everything. Giving him gifts, ignoring him so he would miss her, spending all her time with him, and clinging to him, but separating when he asked since she didn't want to be that clingy. Nothing.
Now Chloe, looking at the girl, understood why. The girl was a dream in every way. She had great looks. Rare bluebell eyes that could hypnotize you into doing whatever she wanted without a question. Great personality that would make anyone love her. And she was sure when they went through puberty, every guy would want her more because of her body. So she got jealous of the girl.
Why would you ever kiss me?
I'm not even half as pretty
Chloe thought back to the time where the class was doing the movie for the school. She had almost kissed Adrien. She still feels guilt for doing all of that to Mylene. She knows, now, that doing that wasn't right. And it's not like she'll listen to her if she apologizes since people still think she's still mean.
Chloe, after looking at herself, thinks that Marinette is prettier than her. Who couldn't like Marinette? She wants to be her. She could understand why he liked her. It was just hard to deal with that someone that she is growing close with is dating someone she had a crush on. She knows she'll get over it, but she just needs time.
You gave her your sweater
It's just polyester
Chloe saw one day that her friend had on Adrien's sweater. She knew it was his because whenever she had hung out with him recently, he was wearing that exact one. Now she knows that she shouldn't be emotional about that type of stuff, but she was. So that day, when asked, she would just say it's one of those days and they would leave her alone, afraid to face the storm that was Chloe.
But you like her better
Wish I were Heather
Watch as she stands with her holding your hand
Put your arm 'round her shoulder, now I'm getting colder
But how could I hate her? She's such an angel
But then again, kinda wish she were dead
Chloe watched all the things Mari and Adrien did that were all the things couples did. Sure, with them together, Marinette was back to talking to her other friends, but that meant that Chloe had more free time since she was usually hanging out with Marinette.
Some words to describe the girl that has made their way into Chloe's cold heart, an absolute angel. Chloe never hated the girl, and never can. She kinda wants her space from the new couple. She might burst into tears. Not because she is into him as much as she used to be, but because that's her first and only crush and it hurts for him to be dating someone while she had a crush on him. Minor or big.
Chloe went to take a walk. She needed some time to clear her head. She was walking on the sidewalks of Paris. She wasn't looking up so she could see who was walking past her, she was looking down since her mood was down. But because of that, she knocked into someone.
--------------
Batman had gotten a message from someone from Paris. He went to look at it and saw there were superheroes asking for his help. Before he could think about what to say about it, Alfred was saying that they should go help them immediately. Because of Bruce's confusion, Alfred had to explain the miraculous and how they work. Basically, if the villain gets the two most powerful miraculous, they could make a wish that could end the world. So Bruce obviously asked Alfred how he knew about these things, but Alfred mysteriously disappeared. Bruce gathered his sons and sent Dick, Tim, and Damian to Paris to go help with the situation. Dick and Tim for helping, and Damian for making friends his age and maybe helping if needed.
So the three go to Paris. They booked a suite in the Bourgeois Hotel. When they get there, Dick and Damian decide to get rid of jet lag. Tim, being the insomniac he is, doesn't go to sleep and just stays up researching the heroes because they need to know who they're working with and wants to find a way to communicate with them.
So Tim is up for about three days straight living on caffeine, until one day, he crashes. The moment his head had hit the pillow on the bed, he was out. He had woken up about twelve hours later. The first thing he went for, when he woke up, was coffee. But they were out. So he had to go somewhere to get some.
Tim looked up and found that a bakery not that far from him sold coffee, so he went there and took the biggest size he could take to go, paid for it, and left.
He started to drink his coffee. He wasn't paying attention to where he was going because he closed his eyes while drinking it. That was his mistake because someone else wasn't looking where she was going, and the two bumped into each other. It was a good thing that Tim drank most of his coffee so none spilled on him.
-----------------
"Oh my god, I'm so sorry!" Chloe exclaimed. She looked up to the person who she bumped into and her face turned red.
"No. It isn't your fault. I wasn't watching where I was going." Tim reassured. Tim looked around and saw that he was lost. "If you don't mind, can you show me where I'm supposed to be going? I think I'm lost."
"Sure. Can you tell me where you are supposed to be going.?" Chloe asked. Tim gave her the place and Chloe blushed, realizing that she might see him more often.
So the two were off. They got into an easy conversation. Tim forgot about the leftover coffee that was in his hand that didn't spill. Chloe had forgotten about why she was walking there in the first place, but was glad she did.
Faster than they thought possible, they arrived at the entrance of the hotel. The two became attached to each other faster than they have with anyone else. They have literally known each other for about fifteen minutes and were comfortable with each other.
"If you're free sometime soon, I can give you a tour of Paris so you aren't lost." Chloe offered.
"Sure. I'd like that."
The two exchanged numbers. Tim went inside the building with a smile on his face, while Chloe headed to a bakery, with a lovesick look on her face.
-------------
Chloe busted into Marinette's room, to find her and some girls in their class. She ignored them and went to Marinette. Marinette was looking at her for her to start what she was going to say while the other girls in the room were confused as to why Chloe had a sincere smile on her face. It wasn't something that they had ever seen before.
"Okay, so I was going out for a walk to clear my head till I bumped into someone. He said he was lost and I showed him around so that he could get back to the hotel he's staying at. He was so cute and nice. And I got his number!" Chloe exclaimed.
"So you got a boyfriend the hour I didn't see you?" Marinette teased.
Chloe turned red. "No. We only knew each other for like twenty minutes. We're just friends." Chloe said, quickly.
"I'm just teasing you." Marinette said.
"Well I'm going to go so I don't hear any more of this teasing. Have fun doing whatever it is your doing." Chloe left out the door of the room.
"That was weird." A girl in the room said. Others agreed.
