chloenette fic where everyone has a crush on Marinette, Chloe included. Except she's not loud or touchy, let alone affectionate. No, she hides behind a slightly awkwardly-civil persona she's built after their truce(?).
Everyone can see the kindness, the sunshine in her steps and the way her heart goes for what is right. Chloe can too. But there's a selfishness in Marinette that she (hopefully) only saw during the moments they were fighting. The frustration, the anger, and the bewilderment in those blue eyes.
It gave Chloe a twisted sense of... assurance? That Marinette wasn't always perfect, that she also has her flaws and maybe, just maybe, she isn't so far away from Chloe's reach.
