Daily Speedwrite Pairings: Day 9
“Didn’t I tell you to leave me alone?” -LadyNoir
“Didn’t I tell you to leave me alone?” Adrien sighed, looking out to the stars.
“Oh please, Kitty. If I asked you to leave me alone, you would pester me with jokes.” Marinette responded hastily.
Another classic case of hopeless pining, poor Chat. All he can do is hope and dream that he could get the lady of his dreams.
“That’s fair...”
Wait a minute.
That’s not like him.
No snappy remark?
No joke?
What’s going on?
“Chat... are you okay?” Marinette sat next to her partner, resting a hand on his shoulder.
“Yeah... just a little heartbroken.” He replied quickly, giving his partner a gentle grin.
“Well, my dad always had a great way for me to feel better when I was sad. Would you like to try?” she squeezed the hero’s shoulder fondly.
“Um...sure?” He didn’t know what was in store for him. But if it made his love feel better, certainly it would help him... right?
“I’m going to touch you okay?” She said gently, placing a hand on Chat Noir’s side.
Oh.
That.
“G-go ahead.”
Marinette gently squeezed her partner’s side, paying close attention to his reactions to know when she’s overstepping.
Snickers leaked from Chat Noir’s lips, which were overturned into a thankful grin.
“Is this okay?”
“yehehehes.”
Ladybug added another hand, but placed it over the hero’s stomach, squeezing gently,
“Ah! Hehehehey! Tihihihihicklehehes.” Adrien whined.
“That’s the point, Kitty.” Marinette cooed, increasing the speed of her squeezes.
“Thahahahank yohohohou.” Adrien replied while a blush spread across his features, “fohohohor thihihihihis.”
“Of course. It’s you and me against the world, remember? How could we battle with you all down in the dumps?” Marinette moved her hands to scribble along her partner’s ribs, the costume doing nothing to defend him.
“M’LAHAHAHDYHEHEH.” Adrien cried, “TIHIHIHICKLEHEHES!”
“We’ve established that, Chat.” she chuckled with him.
“SOHOHO MEHEHEHEAN!”
“Are you all better now?” Marinette inquired, moving quickly to scribble underneath the hero’s arms.
“YEHEHEHES! IHIHIHIM BEHEHEHETTEHEHEHER!”
Marinette chuckled and retreated her hands, “you okay there, Kitty?”
Adrien nodded, his lips still overturned into a pleased smile.
“Now then, I need you to crack a joke like now. This isn’t like you at all.” Marinette admitted sheepishly.
“Not in the joking mood.” Adrien replied with a sigh.
“But I just made you feel better!” Marinette yelped in response.
“And I can lose a good mood that fast!”
“Stop being so dramatic!”
“I’m serious, M’lady. I’m just...” he sighed, burying his head in his hands, “Have you ever been so in love that no one else could ever match-“
“The person you’re pining over... yes.” She finished for the clearly sorrowed boy leaning on the rooftop of her school.
“So you do get it...” Adrien said with a gentle grin, “Sucks doesn’t it?”
“Sucks doesn’t begin to describe it.” Marinette replied in exasperation, letting herself lean on her partner.
“Lonely hearts club?” Adrien held his hand out for a fist bump.
“Lonely hearts club.” Marinette replied, gently pushing her fist onto Chat’s.
