Oh! Hi, there! If you could just ignore the fact that I look like a drowned rat---what else is new---allow me to introduce you to this oneshot! This was a request made by my irl friend, Nayhomi12. The request was "Something with flirty Viperion?"

I literally grinned so big. I love this idea. BUT, I decided to change it up a little, I hope you don't mind.

So, let's add a little bit of ~SPICE~

*opens spice cabinet*

*adds a dash of Jealous Chat*

Purrfect.

I'm going to be honest, this is not my neatest oneshot---it's basically crack, but I had a lot of fun writing it, so I call it a win.

'''''

This is a VERY short chapter, but in my defense, I'm working on something BIG, and it's currently 12:16 am when I'm writing this. Good gravy I'm so tired.

'''''

Also, I have a REALLY important announcement at the end of this oneshot, so PLEASE read until the end!

Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go join my fellow Apollo kids. Byeeeeeeeeeeeee

'''''

Enjoy!

"Thanks again for your help with the akuma, Marinette," Chat Noir said with a small bow. 

The blunette laughed. "My pleasure, Chat Noir. Although," she turned to the other boy to her left. "I'm certain Viperion was much more of a help than I was."

The snake hero shook his head with a grin. "Don't underestimate yourself, Marinette. You're probably the most valuable person here."

Chat watched in confusion as he watched the girl's face flush. What was that about?

"Who? M-me? Haha!" She laughed. "No, I'm not. Besides, you guys are the most valuable; you're superheroes!"

"Thanks for the compliment, Purrince---"

"---Are you sure about that?" Viperion regarded Marinette with a playful look.

Chat looked at the other hero in shock. No one interrupted him when he was making a pun. No one. 

Marinette cocked her head, cheeks still ablaze. "I don't know what you mean," she denied.

"Well," the boy with turquoise hair continued. "I think that you are very valuable---much more than any diamond could be," he sent a flirty look through his thick lashes at her. "And much prettier to look at. Your eyes glitter brighter than any gem on Earth or in the sky."

The feline hero felt his mouth drop. Viperion was flirting with Marinette. No one flirted with Marinette! (If they did, Chat would make sure that it wouldn't happen again. They'd never find their bodies.)

Marinette gawked at the tall hero before her, surprised by his attention.

Chat took this as his cue to enter the conversation. "Well, beauty isn't just how you look, it's also what's inside that counts."

"Oh, I wouldn't worry about that, Marinette's gorgeous inside and out." Viperion winked at the blunette.

She turned bright pink and let out a flustered squeak. She stumbled a little and toppled to side. Chat reached out to catch her, but once again, he was beat to it by Viperion.

"Oh, dear," he helped her up with a confident smile. "I can't have you trip AND fall for me."

Chat Noir felt like hissing in front of the other hero's face. And he would have, but Mari actually seemed to be comfortable with the snake hero's flirting. She smiled, gradually, back at him. 

She giggled. "Sorry, L---Viperion," she said, face still flushed. "But I can't make any promises. You know I'm far too clumsy for my own good." She sent a wink back at him.

The hero clad in black stood back, watching the exchange with a mixture of shock and horror. Not only was the other man making moves on his friend, but she was going along with it!! And she seemed to be having a good time! Chat was so angry he....he...he could just spit.

"Well then," Viperion drawled. "No need to worry, My Angel. I'll be here to catch you when you fall."

Chat was positive that---had he been a real cat---his haunches would have raised and his tail would have gone poofy with fury. 

"How, gentlemanly of you," Marinette purred. (A/N: OH THE IRONY nyehehe) "But are you sure you can handle catching me? I wouldn't want you to hurt your big, strong arms."

"How's this for a reply?"

Chat Noir watched in horror as Viperion smirked and picked Marinette up---bridal-style. Without so much as another word, he vaulted her into the air. Chat yelped and made a move to catch her, but the snake hero already caught her laughing figure with ease.

At this point, the cat-themed hero was livid. No one flirted with Marinette. Marinette was just a friend. Marinette never flirted back. No one gave Marinette pet names. No one touched Marinette. But apparently today was just "Break the Rules Day "for Viperion!!! 

"Glad to know you'll catch me if I fall, 'Rion," the blunette girl said, patting the snake-hero's chest as he set her back on her feet.

'Rion....RION?!! She had a NICKNAME for him, now?!

"Always, My Angel."

Chat desperately stopped the growl that threatened to come out of him. He watched as Mari walked towards the bakery. As soon as she was out of sight, he rounded on the snake hero. "What was that about?!"

Viperion looked back at Chat in surprise. He raised an eyebrow. "What are you talking about?" 

"That...that...thing between you and Marinette."

"'That thing'?"

"Ugh, your flirting! It makes me sick." The cat hero folded his arms over his chest. "You shouldn't flirt with her if you're just gonna hurt her."

Viperion burst out laughing. "Our flirting?! That's what you were so worked up about?" At Chat's nod, he laughed even more and placed a hand on his shoulder. "Sorry dude, I don't know how else to tell you this, but we were flirting because we're dating."

"What?!" Chat screeched.

"Yeah," the snake hero chuckled. "She's my girlfriend. Anyway," He took his hand off the leather-clad shoulder. "I should get going if I'm want to be on time for our date." With that, he ran off, jumping over rooftops towards his house.

Chat like throwing up. On Luka's bed. On purpose.

Why? Because no one can date his Marinette and get away with it.

'''''

Hey!!! What did you think of the oneshot?

'''''

Okay! I'm all dry from my dip in the river, now, so I'd better make my announcement. 

'''''

I have something to confess. And I need you guys to not freak out or get mad at me, please.

Alright, I'm just gonna say it.

I'm closing this oneshot book.

Not right away, you don't need to worry, quite yet. But I will close it after the 50th oneshot.

This has been a big project for me, and I've enjoyed every second of it. I love all of your comments and reactions, they honestly make my day. 

I started these oneshots in February of 2020, right before COVID hit. I did it because I was bored and was just starting to re-find my love for creative writing. There was a period of about 3-4 years where I didn't write stories, and I didn't feel like myself, anymore. 

This was just supposed to be a way to get my brain to be more creative. I just wanted to re-find my imagination and my old creative spark. I didn't expect any reads or votes. I didn't expect comments and requests. I didn't expect to make new friends. And I didn't expect to enjoy writing so much.

I've grown so much as a writer and I've become incredibly creative ever since I started this book, a little over a year ago. But now, I think I've grown too much in my writing capabilities. I think I might actually make a go of this, even if it is just as a hobby or a way to be creative. But I can't seriously test my skills just by writing fanfiction, as much as I like it. Plus, I can't keep writing oneshots forever, I'm gonna go to college in less than 2 years. So I might as well write my own stories while I still can and without the full pressure of college on my shoulders.

I have plans for a book. Actually, not just that, but a whole trilogy. It's a werewolf series and I'm currently writing it on my other profile, Novelina664. 

It is clean, full of references, has an intriguing plot, and has attractive people (yes, that includes new fictional husbands/wives for you all lol). The main character is a normal bookworm and fangirl---her best friend is not that different. The love interest is a sincere and kind man with a tragic and mysterious past. Oh, and he's a werewolf. XD 

There are a bunch more characters (everyone's favorite seems to be the hot blonde guy with ADHD and an obsession for marshmallows) and I have each of their backgrounds planned out.

I'm trying to update it, every week. But it's very hard to do that and to churn out new oneshots, weekly, as well.

So, I will be closing this book after the 50th oneshot. I might add on to it at a later date. But, until then, I don't want to have to worry about this. 

I love you all, and I am not closing this profile, just yet. Just to clarify, I'll still be active every day and will reply to as many comments as I can. I just can't keep updating this book forever. Think of this, as a new chapter, for me. (Haha, I love author puns, this shouldn't even be a surprise at this point XD) 

You guys have surprised me. I never thought anyone would find my book on their own. I spent so long promoting it and having to do so many "read for reads" in order to gain some views. I had to beg for votes and politely deal with rude people. But now, instead of asking for reads and votes, I find myself asking where you all came from. XD

It makes me feel so proud and appreciative that there is a small community of people out there who like my content. And you all are so nice and supportive. This book has gone from barely surviving to being self-sustaining. And I have you all to thank for it.

So thank you so much. I hope you all can forgive me.

Any comments?

Have a nice day!
