a/n:

so the previous chapter happened on saturday morning - afternoon

this chapter happened on the same day hfjsjd (night time ofc) and the next day cause you stayed up late (nothing new tbh)

this is a filler chapter ..sorry abt that (or is it)

some spoilers for some movies btw!!

I opened our front door and saw my parents lounging on the couch. "Hi mom, dad. What's for dinner?" I asked while removing my shoes.

"Oh, I thought you ate dinner already. You were gone for so long." Mom stood up and was about to make her way to the kitchen but I stopped her.

"It's okay. I'll just make my own." She paused for a while, creases form on her face as she contemplated if I am worthy of being in a kitchen. I mean, I admit. I am no chef but I can still cook....

"Are you sure? I don't wanna lose a house tonight."

"Mom!" She chuckled as I let out a groan. Mom walked back to the couch, sitting down and snuggling in my father's chest as he continued watching the movie. For a second, I saw myself doing the same with Marinette

Bro....

Mom quirked an eyebrow at me, making me shake my head and bit my lip as I tried to hide a grin. I rushed off to my room, feeling the warm sensation bubble in my chest and a sudden spring added in every step I make. After softly closing the door shut, I settled my shoes on the floor and threw myself on the bed. Pushing my face against my pillow and screaming at it nonstop, glad that it muffled the noise I was creating.

I'm so whipped god damn it. I don't even know why.

I shifted and laid on my back, taking in deep breaths slowly to calm myself down. Feeling the heat rise up to my cheeks once more, I tried to hide my face in my hands and groan. I never felt this type of way to anyone so I don't really know what to do. The worst part is, I can't even tell this to anyone cause.....what do they know about liking a probably straight girl...who is your friend.... who also likes someone else? 

"Hey sis, we're having a movie night in my room...wanna join?" A knock and Alya's voice interrupted my rant and pulled me back to reality. I stared at door door, thinking about the benefits of joining her movie marathons which mostly consist of straight romcoms.

Don't get me wrong, I love me some good het movies like 10 things I hate about you and Me Before You.....it's just, we need more representing the lgbtq+ community.

Not moving an inch from my bed, I replied to Alya with a short "no."

"Oh come on! Just this once." She pleaded while I closed my eyes and turned my back against the door. "The girls are here. I know you like some girls." she whispered, feeling the evil smirk drip in her words. I let out a snort which soon turned into a full-blown laugh as I stood up and opened the door, "Fuck you, Alya." 

She rolled her eyes and backed away, offering a smug smile at me. "Marinette's waiting~" she teased and blood rushed to my cheeks instantly.

I threw some light punches and slaps at her arm as she raised her hand defensively, chuckling at the sight of my flustered face. After dragging her all the way to her room, I opened the door for me to push her in and saw all the girls huddled on Alya's laptop. They turned their heads at me and greeted me with a warm welcome. 

Marinette ran up to me and grabbed my arm before I got the chance to act on my revenge on Alya. She then sat on the floor and pulled me down with her. Mylene sent me a wave and an all-knowing smirk and I responded with a playful eye roll. "Finally! We've been waiting for you." Marinette exclaimed.

I looked at her with wide eyes, "R-really?" asking with a slight stutter and making the girls gag and snort in the background. I never wanted them to know about my feelings for Marinette but Alya is so fucking talkative.

She nodded, "Yeah! We're watching Love, Rosie and it's so frustrating! Why can't she just tell him how she feels for him? Am I right girls?"

Alix let out a loud chuckle and Rose muffled her giggles with the palm of her hand. Marinette cocked her head to the side with a slight raise of an eyebrow, "What? What's so funny?"

Mylene breathed in and offered her a sincere smile. "I don't think you have a say on that Marinette. You can't even talk to Adrien without stammering."

She let out a groan and grabbed the ends of her pigtails. "But it's hard! Why is it so easy for you guys?"

"We don't like Adrien." The girls and I chorused.

"No－I meant......nevermind."

Alix exhaled a deep sigh after she regained her sanity, "Look, we're not rushing you－no one is....but it could be really helpful in your part if you just tell him what you feel."

Rose nodded and gave Marinette another advice. "You should also start to look at him through another lens. Don't consider him as your crush when you talk to him. Just think of him as a random person."

"Yeah! You should try and talk to him on Monday and take Rose's advice. It'll probably help you with your stutter." Alya added.

Marinette then sent me a glance and I raised an eyebrow at her. "What about you? What are your 'wise words'?" Giggling, she asked and quoted with her fingers.

I glanced at everyone with my brows furrowed, "What? What's the topic again?" Everyone groaned and some even facepalmed. Juleka sighed but I don't know whether it's because of the movie or me.

It's not that I don't know the topic. I just tossed the whole conversation aside once I heard them mention that boy's name. Even in my house, I get to hear about his existence. It feels like his presence is with us, in this fucking room.

"We're basically having a forum." Mylene explained. I heard Alix mumble "again" under her breath and this earned her a slightly harsh slap from Rose, making her hiss and the latter apologize a million times.

"I don't know what to say......really."

Alya rolled her eyes and forced herself to continue watching the movie that we probably forgot about it playing in the background. "Go girl! Give us nothing." she uttered in a low voice.

"Why?" Marinette shifted her glance from the others to me. "Is it because you don't have a say on this too, like me? You can't tell your girl your fellings for her, right?"

I feel my heart clench and squeeze as if it's being squished by my internal organs. Gulping, I opened my mouth to retort but nothing came out of it except for ragged breathing. Marinette continued, "mhm, you also never told us who."

"Who do you like, (Y/N)?"

The girls sent concerned glances at each other and exchanged some nods. Juleka even torn her attention away from the movie and bit her lip in frustration due to the situation. This silent conversation went unnoticed by Marinette as she was focused on me, which would be a win for me if the atmosphere wasn't so sour and tense.

Alya sent me a nod, probably urging me to just blurt out her name because it'd put this to an end and probably on a better note but I didn't do that. I am the epitome of Gordon Ramsay's stupid sandwich. And because I am exactly that, I blurted out a different name.

"Chloe.....?"

Gasps escaped their lips and Alya shook her head in disappointment. Marinette's face morphed into a mixture of confusion and disbelief, probably a pinch of disgust too. I mean, I can't blame her. Chloe is Dr. Doof and she is perry.

Everyone turned their attention to the movie but the atmosphere stayed the same. No one laughed or complained about how Rosie and Alex made the movie so frustrating. The room was also quiet. Nothing thawed the thick ice except for the movie that was now playing, Breakfast at Tiffany's.

(a/n: spoilers)

So far, the movie made me grin like a fool. It made me forget about the underlying tension. Perhaps the others pushed it out of their heads too as I caught them laughing at the party scene. It's an old movie but it was still enjoyable to watch.

A scene played out with Holly and Paul wandering around New York City and it was really sweet. You can definitely see Paul's feelings for Holly but she probably didn't notice. But a certain part of this scene hit me hard and it was the part where Holly and Paul stole some masks from a toy shop.

Everyone giggled at this and were at the edge of their seats, even Alix who isn't a fan of all this lovey-dovey stuff. I just couldn't do anything but sunk lower in my seat as I remembered me and Adrien earlier.

It feels like I'm in a fucking movie and the plot is all over the place like, come on! I just want a stable life. Erase all the romantic shit off the script. I don't care anymore.

It ended on a good note (unlike my life). Although I enjoyed it, the movie was far  from perfect. It was also racist so...that's that. Not everyone was able to understand Holly's character so I explained it to them. From her being a prostitute to being so broken due to her past.

Juleka exhaled a tired yawn and everyone did the same simultaneously as they cocooned themselves with their sleeping bags. I realized that I wasn't able to change into a more comfortable set of clothes. I also didn't want to sleep yey so I stood up and walked towards the door.

"You're not sleeping with us?" Alya asked. "It's rare for us to be complete."

Rose hummed, "Yup. There's also some space left."

I shook my head lightly and stifled a yawn. "I'm tired.....I also wanna sleep on my bed."

Alix closed her eyes, ready to doze off. "Suit yourself." With that, I greeted them good night and closed the door quietly.

After changing my clothes, I placed my laptop on the bed and opened it. I was immediately greeted by the comments on the blog which somehow made me want to write more. I just don't have any event that I could include.....some encounters with Chat are personal.

I closed the tab and went to google, searching up the chords for Audrey Hepburn's song, Moon River. Once I found the chords, I grabbed my guitar and studied them, looking back and forth as I carefully strummed a few chords. After familiarizing myself with the song, I tried to sing the lyrics under my breath only to be cut off by a video call from Chloe.

"What's up?" I asked, setting the guitar aside and looked at the blonde with cucumbers on her eyes.

"Oh nothing~" she trailed on. "Just checking up on you. Had my nose getting itchy and thought someone might be talking about me－or maybe it's just the snot－"

"That is so gross."

"What?! Don't tell me your nose don't have those tiny boogers."

I rolled my eyes before seeing the facade slipping off as she removed the cucumbers. Sighing, I laid on my chest and adjusted the laptop. "How are you holding up?"

Taking in a deep breath, she whispered. "Not so good."

"Tell me," I hesitated. "If it's okay for you."

Then, she let her shoulders fall and her demeanor to fade, revealing a persona completely different to the one everyone sees. "I miss my mom." She murmered, sniffing slightly and wiping away a stray tear. "She's always there in the US I don't even know if she'll ever comeback."

I bit my lip, "Of course she will."

"How would you know?"

"She has you. No one would want to lose a daughter like you."

She scoffed, "I'm a brat. No one likes a kid like me. I'm very much disposable like a spoon at this point."

"Don't say that. Sabrina likes you! I like you! A-as a friend of course." This made her snort and roll her eyes and for me to clear my throat. "What I'm trying to say here is that sure, you're bratty....annoying at times, but you can still change. We're here for you Chloe."

After wiping another tear stain, she gave me a smile, one that is genuine and seldom to see. "Thank you, really. I wouldn't know what to do without you." I returned the smile, although wider as I usually would. "I gotta warn you though. I won't change right away.....it's hard." She scratched the back her neck and grinned sheepishly when she added the last part.

I nodded in understanding. People can't change right away and that's okay. Give them time to grow and to learn from their mistakes. "Anyway...enough about me. How's you and Marinette?"

Shifting my body into a more comfortable position, I exhaled a sigh and rubbed my temples. "I am so stupid. Like, incredibly stupid."

She frowned and inched closer tothe camera, "Why? What did you do?"

"I don't want to talk about it! It's so stupid and embarrassing I might as
well just jump off a cliff－"

"Cut the theatrics! We're on our pajamas for fucks sake."

Groaning, I mustered every inch of sanity that I had left. "I might have told her that I like you, like like-like you, which is so gross."

Chloe let out a loud chuckle, loud enough for me to lower down the volume of my laptop. I can't be bothered to grab my headphones cause that's just too much work.

"Why woud you do that?"

"I panicked okay!!!" I was about to reason out more when I was once again interrupted but this time, it came from my phone.

adrien: so i got good news

"Who's that?" Chloe asked and moved closer, (as if that's going to work).

I shook my head and smiled, not glancing at Chloe but looked at ny phone instead while I came up of a good reply. "No one. Just some insignificant human being."

"Then why do you have their number then?

"I wanna know!" Chloe huffed and pouted, forming a frown on her face.

Smirking, I typed my reply while I looked at her with an eyebrow raised teasingly. I got the keyboard memorized. "Why? What are you gonna do? Tell your father about it?"

She played along, returning the smirk with a sly grin. "Yes! And you can't do  anything about it!"

you: ooo good boy looking for some trouble

"You sound like Draco."

"Shut up."

adrien: then you can be my harley quinn ;)

My eyes widened at the sight of those words. I even blinked a couple of times because I did not even imagine him saying that. "Oh my god you're blushing!"

"SHUT UP CHLOE!"

"Who are you talking to I wanna knowww!!" Chloe groaned and gripped on her pillow tightly.

"You're not gonna tell me..? Even just a little clue?" Chloe pleaded.

"No! No I won't." I looked back at her and gave her a smug smile. She answered back with a defeated sigh and ended the call after she told me off with a "Fine! Good night."
