The Balcony Part 4

Cat Noir helped Marinette up and tenderly wiped her tears off her gorgeous face. Since the beginning of 10th grade, he had never noticed how breathtaking she was and he called himself an idiot for not realizing it sooner.

"Love can make you blind." He thought.

Marinette's face was still on his chest as she tried to stop crying. Cat Noir smiled at her innocence and her trust in him to let her stay. There was a line between teasing your friends and actually hurting their feelings. Cat Noir was a flirt and a teaser, but he would rather die than hurt anyone of his friends, especially his princess.

"You know what's the hard thing about loving someone or having a crush?" Cat Noir asked.

When she didn't answer, he continued talking to fill up the void. "You never know if they like you back or not unless you tell them and take the risk of getting hurt or just stay quiet and ask yourself the same question over and over again. What if? What if he or she liked me? What if?" Cat Noir let a tear of his own fall. "But...I already know what my lady feels for me."

Marinette looked up; making a mere inch gap between his face and hers. She wanted to know what he was about to say.

"She doesn't feel the same way about me. She loves another. How could I have been so stupid?" Another tear drizzled down from his face to his chin. "She never would have loved me."

Marinette's thoughts were jumbled more than a puzzle with one piece missing. Could it be true that he loves her...No, Ladybug this much?

"I'm going to move on soon princess. Everyone does, I will always love her and I will always have a place for her in my heart, but what I have ever truly wanted was for her to be happy and if this is what it takes to be happy then I'll step aside."

"How can you so easily move on?" Marinette asked since she was basically in the same boat as him and they were both sinking faster than a stone.

"I can't. No one can. But with enough patience, I might be able to let her go. Here's some advice princess. If you really love someone, but you know they love another; be happy for them. Cheer them on. That's the only thing you can do before you move on."

Cat Noir was astounded by what wisdom bursted out of his mouth. He never knew he would be this smart in the love department. "Maybe I should be a therapist." He chuckled to himself. Yeah right.

"Marinette?" He asked; pulling her closer. There was also something easier about moving on from Ladybug. He had also fallen for another.

"Cat?" Marinette felt his arms slowly wrap around her. Maybe he was right, maybe she could move on from Adrien. It was oblivious that he didn't feel the same way back. Maybe she could learn how to love someone new.

She looked up into Cat Noir's electric green, they were much like Adrien's, but more ionate and mischievous if that made any sense.

Before she could think, Cat Noir had been the first to react; he pushed forward and made with her own lips. He was gentle at first, but then he smashed his lips against her even harder.

Marinette kissed back with just as much intensity while moving her arms up his neck and into his unkempt blond hair. She had been craving this moment since she had first secretly kissed him when they fought Dark Cupid together. Marinette had ed how good of a kisser he was even though he had no memory of the moment.

The same adrenaline, giddiness, and rush was there, but this time; they were both giving their all. His arms trailed to her waist as he tried to pull her even closer and wanting to get more and more from her. It was supposed to get the edge off, but the kiss wasn't even close to what he needed. Not yet.

Cat Noir kissed her so hard that he had backed her up against the metal railing on her balcony. She kept one hand on the rail so she wouldn't fall off and the other still digging through his hair.

He lifted his mouth off of hers to let her breath and then crushed them back on. A unrecognizable moan erupted from her throat as she practically pleaded for more. He gave her more until she shoved him to the ground while dropping next to him; there they spent the rest of the night kissing each other until the moonlight faded.

Aw! So cute! :heart_eyes: I love these Maricat moments! To be honest, when I was writing this, I couldn't stop the tears from escaping. The feels guys! The feels! Who else(besides me) thinks Cat Noir is a really good guy to get advice from on love? Haha, hope you enjoy and I'll see you all next time! Bug Out! :beetle: :cat: :beetle: :cat: :beetle: :cat:
