Adrien's POV

After the awkward photo shoot with Lila, I head back home. Once in my room Plagg flies out of my shirt.

"Of all the girls who like you Lila is the absolute worst!" He says before going off for cheese.

"Come on Plagg, Lila doesn't like me, plus all she said is that she hates cats." I say as I walk to the bathroom to take a shower.

"And she hates Chat Noir! Do you know how rude that is?" He asks from the room.

"She didn't say she hated him, but it is pretty rude considering that I'm Chat Noir. Still, she's allowed to have an opinion," I turn on the water and get in. As I wash myself I think about what happened earlier today. 

I had asked Lila what she though of Paris' superheroes, truthfully, but when she said that she absolutely hated Ladybug, I was shocked. I was hoping for something positive, something I would relate to. How can someone hate my bugaboo? She's so kind and beautiful and just the best person in the world. Then she said that she also didn't like Chat Noir because she doesn't like cats.

Lila had not only lied to somehow insert herself into my life, but now she has insulted the love of my life. She's got to go.

Marinette's POV

After cleansing my room of Adrien, I take out my sketchbook and begin to edit some of my designs. I always put full detail on the first draft. Each draft is a finished copy in itself. As I discuss with Tikki about the quality of the outfit before and after the bow, I hear my mom calling me.

"Marinette, there is a guest here for you!" She says.

"Coming!" I call. I make way down the trap door and into the living room. I hadn't been expecting anyone, so it was probably Alya.

"Hi Marinette" He says when I get there.

"ChaT NOir!" I exclaim. The only person I would have never expected to be here has arrived.

"Hey," He says rubbing the back of his neck. "I was, um....around and I was bored, so I thought I'd drop by."

"So you used the door. Are you trying to make a scene?" I whisper yell.

"Well, I was going to grab a croissant and then I asked if I could stop by and say hi to you, so here I am."  He says. I look around and see my parents in the kitchen looking at us lovingly. 

Why Chat? Just why??

"Is it okay if we go to my room?" I ask my them.

"Of course." My mom says at the same time that my dad asks,

"That suit doesn't open right?"

"Papa!" I exclaim burying my head in my hands. Chat just laughs.

"Not that I've tried, but as far as I know it does not." Chat says.

I look at Chat and see him blush a bit. In an attempt to hide my embarrassment I look at the floor as I walk to and up the ladder into my room.

"I'm so sorry about my parents." I sigh as I sit on my bed.

"No problem." He says looking around, "Your room looks different."

"Yeah, I cleaned it. Well, more like cleansed it but yeah."

"Of what?" He ask looking at my bare walls. He is constantly in here so I guess he should have noticed what. Is he just trying to get me to say it?

"Of...Adrien" I say after a long pause. The second I say the name Chat looks up at me as if surprised.

"Do you dislike him or something," Chat asks, his eyes still wide.

"No! Not at all, it's just that, I...." I take another pause. I guess maybe I can tell Chat, it's not like he'll say anything. "I just don't like him anymore."

"What's the difference?" He says.

"I used to like him." I look over at Chat who still looks confused, "I had a crush on him a-"

"You had a crush on Adrien Agreste?" Chat exclaims.

"Way to not judge!" I shout.

"Sorry." He says, "But why,"

"I don't want to discuss this with you."

"Is it because he's a pretty boy." He asks. I just shrug, "I'm hot why don't you like me?"

"That's not why I liked him." I say. He looks at me intently, like he really wants to know. I sigh before explaining, "To me Adrien is more than just a model. It all started on the first day. I hated him because of something he didn't even do, and he felt so bad, he explained at the end of the day and I don't know if it was the vulnerability, or just an in the moment thing but, when our hands touched I felt my heart jump. That moment I thought I fell in love, but I think that I was blinded." I look down at my feet before continuing,

"Of course, he's an amazing person, he makes me happy inside, and he helps me be a better person, plus his visuals are a bonus. But, what I didn't realize was how unhealthy my crush in him was. I realized today, as I was spying on him and Lila, that I had an obsession so now, I'm going Adrien free." When I look up at Chat Noir he looks stunned.

"What's wrong?" I ask.

"Nothing." He says shaking his head, when he looks back at me he smiles, "but aren't you breaking the Adrien free rule?"

"How," I ask skeptically.

"I'm just saying that you just spent forever talking about him, isn't that Adrien related?" He asks.

" Oh shut up." I laugh.

"Hey, I'm just saying" He adds into my laughter. We talk for a while longer before I check the time.

"6:00 already? I still have homework to finish!"

"I'm late for something important! My dad's gonna kill me" Chat exclaims. He runs up to the balcony, says a quick farewell, and leaps away.

Hewwo, lucky for you this chapter comes with an extra!

Extra:

Sabine's POV

I know Marinette trusts me not to eavesdrop on her, which is exactly why I am here pressing my ear on the trapdoor, listening to her conversation.

"Do you dislike him or something," I hear Chat Noir ask.

"No! Not at all, it's just that, I....I just don't like him anymore." Marinette says.

"What's the difference?" He says.

"I used to like him, I had a crush on him-"

"You had a crush on Adrien Agreste?" Chat Noir exclaims.

Is she serious? She's got Paris' heartthrob superhero in her room and she wants to talk about Adrien! I don't know what went wrong in raising her. I'm going back to work.
