19.) You're Dating a Superhero?!
Nathan and I arrive at school to greet a big crowd formed around Adrien.
"What's going on?" I ask.
"I don't know," Nathan says as we walk up to the crowd.
"Dude! Why didn't you tell me?" Nino fusses with Adrien.
"Tell you what?" he responds confused. "Why are all you crowded around me?"
"You really don't know?" Nino asks, pulling out his phone and pulling something up on it. "I'm talking about this!" He pushes the phone in Adrien's face. "You have a thing with Kitsune!"
My eyes widen. "What the–?!" I take out my phone and pull up the video on the Ladyblog page.
"Uh, um..." Adrien stumbles for words.
"Mirabelle," Nathan fusses with me in a whisper. "Why were you at Adrien's house?"
I turn to look at him. "I like hanging out with him."
"Are you dating the famous superhero fox twin, Kitsune?" Alya asks, already recording everything.
I decide to tease him while I have the chance and push my way through the crowd. "Yeah, what was with this?" I ask, petting his head as he leans into my hand. Nobody else catches the purr he lets out as he rubs against my hand like a cat. "Is this like a turn on trigger or something?"
His face turns peachy, and he reluctantly walks out of my grasp. "I... Uh... like when people play with my hair?"
"You don't sound too sure of yourself," Nino says.
"How'd you get that anyway?" Adrien asks.
"I was passing by," Nino says. "I saw you on your balcony and was about to call out to you, but then I saw you had company. Company that was too amazing not to record."
"He immediately sent it to me," Alya says with pride. "I then posted it on the Ladyblog."
"Why?" I ask. "Isn't your blog for Ladybug?"
"No, it's for all the superheroes. It's just named after her since she's basically the leader," Alya says.
"Fair enough," I admit.
"So, you have yet to answer the question," Kim says.
"Are you dating Kitsune?" Rose asks.
"I wish..." Adrien whispers.
Wait, what?
"If you're not dating then why was she over at your house?" Nino asks.
"We... Uh, we hang out and watch tv or play video games," Adrien admits.
"Do you know her secret identity?" Alya asks.
"I wish I did," Adrien says.
"Darn," Alya pouts. "If we knew who she was we could connect her to find out who Zorro is."
"Why do you want to know their secret identities so much?" I ask.
"Why wouldn't you?!" Nino shouts.
"Wouldn't it be cool if we knew who they were?" Alya asks. "What if we talk to them on a regular basis and just don't know it?"
Marinette chuckles nervously. "Yeah, wouldn't that be cool..."
"We all want to know so we can thank them for all that they've done for us and the city," Rose says.
"We all appreciate them and would love to thank them," Nino says.
"I think they know," I say.
"How do you know?" Alya asks.
"I'm sure Kitsune tells Adrien all the time," I lie, looking over at Adrien.
"Oh, uh, yeah! She comes to my house sometimes to check on me because of the time that I was attacked or near an akuma," Adrien says.
"Yeah, she came to check on me when I was chased after by Stormy Weather," I say.
"She checked on me after I was the Evillustrator," Nathan says.
"She checked on me too," Marinette says. "When I was targeted too."
"She came to make sure I was okay too," Max says.
"Me too," Chloe says, speaking up.
"Us too," Sabrina says. "She talked to my dad."
"She probably gets thanks all the time," I say, knowing for sure I do. "She probably goes to tell the others too."
"But it'd be better when she's not a superhero," Nino pouts.
"She tells me that she's always watching over us," Adrien says. "She definitely knows."
"That's a good superhero for ya!" Nathan says.
"Adrien, since you're such good friends with Kitsune, you should invite her to come say hi to all of us one day!" Nino suggests.
"Nino, I'm pretty sure she has to go to school too," Adrien says.
"She goes to school?!" Nino shouts. "Then she could be among us..." He looks around at everyone suspiciously.
"They have to be twins," Alya adds then everyone turns to look at us.
"What?" I ask, knowing full well what they're all thinking.
"Mirabelle, Nathan, do you have something to tell us?" Alya asks.
"Are you implying that my brother and I are superheroes?" I ask and giggle. "That's so funny!"
"We don't even look like them!" Nathan laughs.
"Besides, when would we have the time to be superheroes?" I ask. "You guys are silly. There's plenty of other twins in this school and Paris alone."
"But how many of them are different genders?" Alya asks.
"Quite a few, actually," Max says, bringing up his calculations of Paris. "Many of which are in school. There's actually quite a few in this school and this grade."
"Really?" Nino asks.
"Yeah," Max says.
"Aren't Zorro and Kitsune fraternal twins anyway?" Marinette asks.
"That hasn't been proven," Alya says. "They do have different hair colors though, so everyone just assumes."
"Well, different gender twins are considered fraternal," Max says.
"Well we look identical we're just different genders," I say.
"That's true, so you two are out for being the fox twins," Alya says.
"Good," I say. "I don't need more fans jumping me randomly when I'm walking around Paris because of a rumor."
That earns a chuckle from everyone.
"So, what's Kitsune like?" Mylene asks.
"She's awesome," Adrien says dreamily.
"I always wondered why you talked about her so much," Nino says. "Now I know. You have a major crush on her."
"No!" Chloe shouts, clinging onto Adrien. "Kitsune or Ladybug should be with Chat Noir. Adrikins is mine!"
I wonder if she'd still like him after knowing he's Chat?
"Please, Chloe," Adrien sighs, lightly shoving her off.
The bell rings warning us that we have four minutes before class starts.
"Let's go to the locker room to put away our things," I say to Nathan and tug him with me.
We arrive in the locker room to find it empty, resulting in our Kwamis coming out.
"That was too close," Zorra sighs.
"It's a good thing you two have different hair colors as superheroes or you never would've gotten out of that," Flamme says.
"How were you so calm about that?!" Nathan shouts. "I felt like I was about to crumble right then and there."
"I was worried. I just don't show it. I'm used to accusations," I say. "I grew up with stupid rumors or some that people guessed that were true. I have formed my emotions to be under control with things like that."
"You had me totally fooled," Nathan sighs as we put our stuff away and grab what we need.
"Good, that means I fooled the others," I say. "They're off our case, so we don't have to worry."
"That's good," Flamme says.
The bell rings, telling us we have two minutes to get to class.
"I guess we better go," I say. "We don't wanna be late."
Our Kwamis disappear to their respected places as we rush off towards class, barely making it before the final bell rang.
"Made it," Nathan says with a relieved smile.
"Good, now please take your seats Renard twins," Miss Bustier sternly says.
"Yes, madam," we say and get to our seats.
"So, are you and Adrien actually dating?" Nathan asks me. "Does he know who you are?"
I quietly giggle. "No and no."
He sighs in relief. "I was worried."
"Why? Would it be a bad thing for me to date him?"
"As Kitsune, yes. As yourself, depends."
"Depends?"
"I mean if you get into a bad situation he could find out that you're Kitsune," Nathan whispers. "You have to think of every possible situation."
"I guess that makes sense," I say. "So, are you and Mari dating yet?"
"W-what?!" he squeaks. "Why would you think that?"
"Don't think I don't see you go off and visit her as Zorro."
"Y-you knew?"
"I'm your sister, and I'm part fox," I say as if it's obvious, shrugging. "It's in my nature to be protective and keeping a close watch on my sibling. You never answered."
"No, we aren't," he says. "We hang out on her balcony and talk."
"I know," I say. "I followed you one day."
He sighs. "Of course you did."
I grin with a snicker as I begin taking notes for class.
