Not really a sequel, more a companion piece to the first chapter :) this time with Marinette.

Tikki watched on fondly as Marinette continued to pace through her room, her eyebrows narrowed and her cheeks red. She kept mumbling to herself, shaking her head and sighing ever so often. It was adorable in Tikki's eyes.

"Well, I told you so, Marinette, it was bound to happen sooner or later."

The girl in question barely heard her little friend. She was too deep in thought, too confused, to listen.

When did it happen? Why hadn't She noticed? How did she end up falling in love with Chat Noir?

And, what confused her even more, why did it feel so right?

Falling in love with her kitty seemed to have happened naturally. It had been a slow process, she hadn't seen him one night and knew, no. In the end, he managed to claw his way into her heart with being always there for her, always caring, always listening.

And it was true; it did feel right. Marinette couldn't even try to hate something that felt this right. Her heart still fluttered at Adrien's presence; it was somewhat reassuring to know that that hadn't changed. But whereas Adrien made her feel nervous and fall over her words, Chat Noir completed her. She knew she loved him, but other than with Adrien, she was able to show him. They were able to joke and maybe that was exactly what made her feel so at ease. He seemed free, happy, and it brought her happiness, as well.

His presence calmed her and made her feel safe, at home.

Chat was... He was home, she realized. He was warmth, fun, love.

He made her feel all the good things in life and, God, she had fallen hard.

The girl came to an halt and blinked upwards at her ceiling, a smile tugging on her lips. Tikki continued to watch from afar, giggling quietly as she saw Marinette's acceptance, while the designer herself relaxed.

Slowly, Marinette had fallen in love with Chat Noir. And now, as she looked through her window and met green eyes, she knew it was going to be alright.

Chat Noir was perfect and she was in love with him. And it was okay.
