"It depends, I'm fortunate enough to be with two people that I can read easily," Meg usually showed her emotions well for him and his counterpart was him and he knew himself well. "So, yes, I'd like to say that I'm good at recognizing their needs right away. Sometimes if I'm distracted, it becomes harder, but eventually I see it."

With a tilt of his head, Alastor began to answer. "No and I won't deny such a thing. I can read emotions, but figuring out needs without a verbal say-so, I cannot do. If my partner needs something, they need to tell me." And he would leave it at that.

"I want to say yes," Though, a slightly nervous side of her wanted to say the opposite. "I would try to, at least. I'm good at being there for my friends when they need me, so I think I could do the same for a partner as well."

Maybe Rick shouldn't have drank a truth serum before answering questions, but oh well. "Eh, it depends. When it comes to physical needs, such as essentials and the like, I'm able to spot what my darling needs and give it to him. When it comes to emotions, nope. I suck at that part. I wish I could be better, but I don't give a fuck about emotions and certainly not my own." He shrugged.

plotted starter for @hvbris

In the early morning hours, Marinette met the girl out in the hallway. A smile on her face as she approached. It was always nice to meet a new student. Even more to befriend someone new. And she was looking forward to getting to know this new person.

"Hey! I'm Marinette, I'm supposed to show you around the school today," She announced, cheerful tone and pep to her step. "I was told earlier that you'd be showing up so I brought you this."

Out from her cross-body bag, she took out a neatly wrapped package and held them out. "They're macarons, I hope you'll like them!"

@shctupmeg sent; “You’re really pretty.” Shctupmeg for marinette

The compliment came as a surprise. Marinette was used to the occasional compliment. Yet, something about this felt different. She couldn't put her finger on it. But she could tell this was not just any type of compliment.

A faint blush colored her cheeks. Her eyes widened a little bit. For a split second, she became nervous. Though she would fight that feeling enough so that she could answer.

"Oh, thank you, Meg. That's really kind of you to say," She could feel her mouth go dry. "You're really pretty, too."

@countlessrealities sent; Adrien or Cat Noir? [[ for Marinette x3 ]]

For a moment, Marinette stopped and stared blankly at the question. Her cheeks felt like they were on fire, insides churning at the very thought. There was no question about who she would pick. Everyone knew it was obvious.

"I --- uh ---- pick Adrien."

She really hoped he wasn't around to hear that. If so, that would be the end of her. She would have to go into hiding if he knew how much she wanted to kiss him. How much she fantasized about that sort of thing.

"Uh, yeah, so, next question."

[mcltiples]

Stopping in her tracks, Marinette looked over at the woman who called for. Her face dropped with shock, eyes lighting up. She didn't know who this lady was, but something told her that she was famous.

"Yes, yes I am!" Now that captured her interest. Was this another rockstar like Jagged Stone? "Really? I would be honored. I'd love to, let me grab my sketchbook and we can go over some ideas!"

@mcltiples liked for a Thorn starter.

Thorn feels like she’s seen this girl before? Maybe on something with that old man jagged stone? Wasn’t her name Marionette or something like that? She can’t recall but she does know the girl is talented.

“Hey there, you’re the one that made Jagged Stones cover art right? How’d you like a commission from the hex girls?”

[mcltiples]

@shctupmeg sent; "Um hi! My name's meg. Do you mind if I sit here?" shctupmeg for marinette

A new girl. Oh, this would be exciting. A whole new person to show around, befriend, and introduce to others. Marinette would make sure this girl felt welcomed here. Just as she did everyone!

Smiling brightly, she gave a nod.

"Of course, I don't mind at all," She even scooted over a little to make more room at the lunch table. After all, she didn't want to be too much in the girl's space, that would've been rude. "I'm Marinette, are you new here?"

And without speaking much else, she took the cookie that was on her plate and broke it in half. "Want some?" She asked, handing out the other half of it.

@countlessrealities sent; 💋 [[ Marinette for Cat Noir? ]]

Alright, Marinette just had to get through this encounter. If could get through this and if it was easy, then that must mean that her feelings for Chat Noir weren't real, right?

Who knew this love thing could be so confusing sometimes.

"Wow, Chat Noir, y-your muscles are so big," She swooped in beside him. "Can I---?"

Only once she was given permission, she would softly place her hands on his biceps. The feeling of a latex leather cool to the touch. It was fascinating how it seemed to be made of the same material as her ladybug suit. Then again, it was the same magic that they possessed from the kwamis. So it had to make sense.

Brushing that off, she focused on the muscles. Squeezing them ever so gently. She wondered if it was all of the fighting that they did or that Chat Noir was naturally this muscular to make him feel so strong.

"And you're so handsome too~"

@countlessrealities sent; 'I want the K' [[ Adrien and Marinette if you want? 👀 ]] 5. firm kiss

The heat of nerves boiled within Marinette. All that went on in her mind was the plan that she conjured up two weeks in advance. As well as the sound of her heart beating, filling up most of the space in her thoughts and her ears.

This had to go perfectly. Otherwise, she would just end up being a failure once again.

Closing her eyes tightly. She gathered up the strength that she needed. I can do this, I can do this. After all, what Tikki said to her that morning was right. There was no way she could mess up. Adrien was one of her closest friends.

Rounding the corner of the school, she spotted the boy exiting out of the black car. Perfect timing. Now was her chance.

"Adrien!"

She called out from several feet away. Clutching not only the strap of her backpack, but the bag full of sweets from her parents' bakery. As her other arm raised in the air, waving at him.

Sprinting forward, she tried to close the distance between them as quickly as possible. She didn't want to make him wait too long to find out what it is that she wanted to say to him.

Just as she grew closer. One foot stepped forward as her second one scraped against the other. Causing her to lose her balance. Ungracefully plunged forward until her body collided against Adrien's.

By the time that she could register what happened, she found herself on top of her crush. Both laid on the ground. As her lips were attached to his. In a firm, yet confusing kiss. Even if it were purely accidental.

Blinking, she quickly sat up and scrambled to get as far away as possible from him. "I -- Sorry! I didn't-- I'm so sorry."

Without much thinking, she managed to get onto her feet, running in the same direction that she had just come from. The bag of sweets were still on the ground. Now smashed and ruined from the fall.

[mcltiples]

Being vague was a natural skill at this point for Marinette. She couldn't tell anyone the truth. Other than Alya, but her best friend was the only exception to that rule. No one else could know. Otherwise, she would be putting them in danger. And she couldn't have that.

Her cheek rested on her knee. Sighing softly.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to talk so openly," She let her voice simmer down into an almost whisper. "...... These memories, they don't go away, do they? They'll always stay, no matter what...."

If that were the case, then her nightmares about Chat Blanc will always remain. And she hated it. How could she ever think of her partner in that way?

@mcltiples asked:

“i can’t stop seeing it. every time i close my eyes it’s like i’m right back there, reliving it over and over with no way to change the outcome.” { To Coraline from Marinette ! }

"I uh....I don't really know what you're talking about, but I know what that's like."

The older kid sighed, sitting down near the other and crossing her arms. She didn't really talk about the other world, and she definitely wouldn't be with a stranger. Rubbing at her upper arms gently from her anxiety around those memories. Keeping her breathing calm. She only really had Wybie to talk to, but he had other friends to talk to, so they weren't always at each others side.

"I have memories like that too."

{ OOC } I'm adding two muses here { previously at @bcssbxtch & @miraculoust } to this blog !! Summer Smith & Marinette Dupain Cheng

[mcltiples]

Marinette now with Monarch defeated what are you going to do now?

The question caused Marinette to falter a little. She didn't know how to answer this question. It was one for Ladybug and she wasn't her right now.

"Well, I'm hoping that things go back to being peaceful, but I doubt that Ladybug and Chat Noir will go away. They'll always be here to protect us, just in case."

It's what she vowed to do when she took the role of Ladybug. To always be here for Paris. For her friends, her family, the citizens that she adored. She was their hero and there would be no getting rid of her or her partner.

@civicmuses sent; 💬 Marsha (for Marianette)

"Marsha is a good friend. I don't know her well, yet, and she seems to keep to herself a lot, but that's what makes her even more interesting," As always, Marinette saw the good in the little things. "I'd really like to be her friend and I hope she wants to be mine as well!"

SO WHAT IF OUR MUSES KISSED? || accepting

@civicmuses sent; "What if they kissed?" for Marsha and Marinette

The moment seemed to be perfect. Marinette couldn't help the emotion that overwhelmed her senses. As the sun began to set in the horizon, the glow of the sky casting a magical aura over Marsha. So pretty, so mesmerizing. She couldn't help to stare in awe. As her cheeks began to flush with a light shade of pink.

Blue eyes sparkled for a moment, holding their gaze in the eyes before her. She could feel her throat constrict. Unable to say anything in that moment.

She just sat there. On the concrete platform, with the other girl right beside her. Just a few inches away.

Without thinking, she leaned in closer. Slow enough for the moment to fade away if Marsha didn't want it. Yet, there wasn't any sign of that happening. So she kept moving forward.

Soft lips landed onto the other ones. A kiss that would last only a few seconds, but felt as if it lasted so much longer than that. As if sparks ignited, fireworks, a rush flowed through her body. One that she hadn't felt before.

When she pulled back, her eyes widened.

"I--" She finally found her voice again. Yet, they were still slightly stuck. "I hope that was okay. I don't know what came over me."

The shade of pink that colored her cheeks seemed to grow darker, more visible. "Maybe we should go get some ice cream." She let out a nervous chuckle. In hopes that, maybe, changing the subject could help ease the tension in the air.

BAD SITUATIONS: STARTERS || accepting

@civicmuses sent; 🔒 (Marsha and Marinette maybe)?

Thrown onto the ground, hands and ankles bound together, Marinette took in her surroundings. Something felt off here. She couldn't find where the akumatized villain could possibly be. The only thing she could see were the henchman that took orders in a zombified state.

Somehow tying them up and putting them in various places around the city was part of the akuma's plan. Though, that didn't tell her much.

She leaned up against a tree. Spotting the girl next to her. Oh, she looked familiar. They've met a few times before.

"Are you okay? They didn't throw you too hard, did they?" Blue eyes were filled with worry, yet also blazed with a determination. "I'm going to get us out of this mess, okay?"

If only she could go transform into Ladybug, that would help, but she couldn't. Not right now. Besides, she needed to free herself and Marsha first before anything.

send me “HUG” for my muse’s reaction to yours coming up from behind and wrapping their arms around mine’s waist. || accepting

@countlessrealities sent; "HUG" [[ Cat Noir for Marinette 👀 ]]

For a moment, Marinette could hardly wrap her mind about what happened. She felt those arms wrap around her waist, pulling her in close. Then a head dipped down to nuzzle in the crook of her neck. It was just any embrace. She knew the meaning behind of it.

Only moments before this, as Ladybug, she had to call in Rena Rouge for a favor. To show herself falling into one of the holes in the street. An attempt to stray Monarch and the villain from getting a hold of, well, herself.

She had heard the yell that it brought of her partner earlier. Though, too focused on fighting, she chose to ignore it and she didn't think anything of it as Chat Noir fought by her side.

So now that everything was over with, now that she was found -- alive, safe -- she could feel the rumble of emotion within his chest. The way his arms were protective around her. That over hanging thought of almost losing a friend.

"Chat Noir," She finally spoke, voice lighter than usual. "I'm so sorry to have worried you," She held back her next words. Just enough to turn around in his arms, facing him. "I promise I'm fine, though, you don't need to worry about me,"

To make things lighthearted, she gave him a smile, flicking the bell around his neck. "You can't get rid of me that easily, kitty cat, Ladybug always knows how to save the day, she would easily save me."

And without thinking, she leaned in to give his cheek a kiss. That should ease his worries, maybe reassure him a little. At least, she hoped. She had come to think of Chat Noir as a good friend, in her civilian form and as Ladybug. She didn't want to see him upset.

[mcltiples]

Marinette your opinion on Adrien?

There was so much on her mind about Adrien. She could write a whole book about him. That wasn't even an exaggeration. There were so many things she knew about him. Not only that, but she could also fill up the pages with love letters describing how much she loved him.

If only she could just tell him, everything would be so much easier.

"Adrien is so wonderful and amazing, he's a good friend and a kindhearted person," She made herself appear smaller, her hands tucked against her chest, holding herself. "Everyone is so lucky to know him and have him in their life,"

She should know well because that's how she felt. Lucky.

Looking off towards the side, her lips pressed together in a straight line. Her thoughts going faster with love confessions, heart beating out of rhythm. Why couldn't she just say it? Was something wrong with her?

"I just think, if you knew him, then you would see that he's everything a person would want in another person, whether that's friendship or something more," Her cheeks tinted a light pink. "And I'm glad that he's my friend."

And I wish he could be so much more than that.
