The power to fly. That’s what you dream of. There’s no better feeling. The truth is, you only fly for a second or two before gravity takes back what you tried to steal. Because no matter how hard you work, how strong you are, or how thin you get… gravity always, always wins.
❝ You should tell him, you know, ❞ Marinette says, not looking up from the baking pan where she's very carefully squeezing batter from a pastry bag for the fourth of the six batches of macarons she's been baking for the class Christmas party. She'd invited Chloe over to help—and she had, for all of one batch, which Marinette calls a win—and now that they're a little over the half-way point and there's no risk of any baking mishaps, it feels like a safe time to broach the topic. ❝ Luka, I mean. He probably already knows, but... you should tell him anyway. That you like him. I think that would mean more to him than anything you could buy him. ❞
( unprompted / always accepting !! )
𝐂𝐇𝐋𝐎𝐄 𝐇𝐀𝐃 𝐁𝐄𝐄𝐍 𝐒𝐋𝐎𝐖𝐋𝐘 𝐂𝐇𝐈𝐏𝐏𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐀𝐖𝐀𝐘 𝐀𝐓 𝐀 𝐁𝐀𝐆 𝐎𝐅 𝐂𝐇𝐎𝐂𝐎𝐋𝐀𝐓𝐄 𝐂𝐇𝐈𝐏𝐒. More than once, Marinette had smacked her hand away from the bag. An effort in futility. Chloé's response had been a simple 'I'm checking the bag for freshness!' as if the bag wasn't half empty already. Otherwise, the atmosphere was remarkably uneventful. It was a record for the Chloé's Redemption book. She's popping yet another chip into her mouth when Marinette speaks her third worst fear into existence.
The blonde immediately chokes.
❝ What are you talking about, Marin—ette? ❞ The accusation comes as soon as she recovers. The shock is so apparent, she nearly reverts to calling her Marinella and just barely catches herself. Her face has gone red from embarrassment. ❝ What, in all of France, makes you think I like Luka Couffaine? ❞
She doesn't know what is worse — that Marinette is spot-on ( ha ) with her intuition, or that she'd been so careless in hiding it, that the girl could tell. Marinette. This is the girl who made her crush on Adrien so painfully obvious it was a wonder how the model hadn't picked up on it yet himself when the rest of Paris had. He was so dense. And Marinette was so embarrassing.
They were perfect for each other.
Chloé laughs, a little more unkind than she'd meant to. She's just mad at herself for letting her tells slip. ❝ That's rich coming from you. Have you told Adrien yet? ❞ Maybe if she can deflect this back on Marinette, they can forget about this whole thing and stop talking about it.
I may not be home but I am watching. Always watching.
thinking about chloe performing as clara in the nutcracker. thinking about her parents being too busy to show up. thinking about how chloe expects that no one familiar will be in the audience. and then the curtain opens up and beyond the stage lights she can see the outlines of her classmates sitting there all watching her and maybe she gets a little emotional and cries a little after the show but if anyone mentions it she will deny it to her grave.
