#a fitting last part for felinette week

Felinette Month Day 14
Shakespeare
“Hey there, Romeo.” She didn’t even look up from her sewing.
“It tore again.” Felix said, setting a jacket on her desk.
Marinette froze, looking up at him. “You tore it again. For the third time this week alone.” Her eyes were cloudy with rage.
“I told you, I didn’t tear it. I left it in my locker and it tore on its own. Probably your shoddy craftsmanship.” It was odd, actually expressing the cutting comments he usually bit down to maintain his composed demeanor. But Marinette… she brought something out in him, and he hated it.
They were partners in their drama class. Assigned partners, heaven knows he wouldn’t choose that bleeding heart even if she was Shakespeare himself. They agreed that Felix would do Romeo’s famous monologue, and Marinette would make his costume. This way they would have as little interaction as necessary.
At least, that was the idea.
His jacket kept tearing, time and time again. He would leave it alone for two minutes and when he came back the seams unraveled.
He couldn’t believe “fashion prodigy” Marinette Dupain-Cheng couldn’t sew a simple jacket. He tried to approach the subject delicately, but after the third time he was just annoyed.
“Maybe if you put a little care into something that wasn’t yourself, this wouldn’t keep happening.” She bit back, returning to her sewing. “Leave it here, I’ll have it done in a bit.”
“The show is tomorrow.”
“Yeah. I’m aware.” She glared at him. “Which is why you should have taken better care of it.”
“I did. It was in a bag, in another bag, in my locked locker.”
“Well, it wasn’t enough. I’ll keep ahold of it until tomorrow.”
“I don’t need to be treated like a child.”
“Then stop breaking things like one.”
He didn’t growl. Not at all.
-
Marinette scurried around backstage, looking for Felix. Of course he’d be so self absorbed and distracted that he forgot the jacket he’d been complaining about all week. Sure, it wasn’t her best work, but it wasn’t her fault by any means that he kept ripping the seams.
And he had the gall to blame her for it! Her seams were perfect; Felix didn’t know what he was talking about.
Speaking of Felix, where was he?
He was meant to go on in ten minutes, he should at least be backstage.
“Alya. Where is he?”
Her eyes widened and she pointed a trembling finger at Felix who was brushing off his impeccable costume and checking over his lines.
“Felix!” He jolted. “Jacket. Come here.”
He must have seen her barely contained rage written across her face, because he obediently walked over and accepted the jacket.
She walked around him, observing every part of his outfit, when her eye snagged on his shirt. The fit was all wrong, and there was no chance Marinette would let anyone, even Felix, walking out in something so atrocious.
She stepped forwards, and immediately went to work.
“W-what are you doing?” He looked down from where she was scrutinizing his shirt, but she payed him little mind.
“Fixing it. Keep reading.” She grunted, pulling out a tiny sewing kit from her bag. “Hold this.”
Nine minutes later, he looked perfect and Marinette shoved him onstage with a grin and a “don’t mess this up for us!”
He almost stumbled when she shoved him, she was a little guilty about that, but he turned it into an easy stride, a lovelorn expression turning his features from “angry substitute teacher” into something more... attractive.
No. No, check that. Marinette would never find Felix attractive. Ever.
His voice drifted from the stage to the audience with ease, every word clear and filled with emotion.
Marinette found herself taken with the scene, leaning against the wall and picturing Felix in a garden of sorts, on his knees, taking her hands in his with a shining smile...
Nope. No. Nuh-uh. Not attractive.
But she had to admit, he was a good actor.
-
Felix laced anxiously beside the curtain. It was ten minutes until he went on stage, where was Marinette with that jacket?
Of course, she would be tardy on top of being clumsy.
He huffed. The show must go on, one way or another. He didn’t have time to worry about her. Felix had to practice his lines one last time.
“Felix!” And there she was, with her usual disregard for any social cues.
She handed him the jacket without many words other than “Jacket. Come here.” How eloquent.
She paced around him as he continued to read his lines, though most of his effort was going towards ignoring her.
Suddenly, she leaned close to his chest, grabbing at his shirt and sticking a few pins into it.
“W- what are you doing?” Too close. Too close.
“Fixing it. Keep reading.” A hand rifled through her bag and she handed him a small case. “Hold this.”
Am I supposed to hold this, or keep reading? You can’t just give two contradicting commands like that. He bit down the reply; Marinette was in a state he was certain would become terrifying if he was to shock her out of it.
Finally, just as he needed to go onstage, she finished and shoved him into the spotlight.
He just barely stumbled, but he resolved to yell at her for that afterwards. For now, he let a dreamy smile take over his face and threw himself into the monologue.
Marinette really was infuriating, but he had to admit, seeing her so focused, so dedicated to fixing his shirt before his performance, it was admirable, and the concentrated expression she had was almost cute.
No. No, not that. Anything but that. Marinette Dupain-Cheng was many things, but she was not cute.
He turned his thoughts to something more appropriate for the monologue he was delivering. His Juliet.
They would be in a garden, having walked and joked for a long period of time, before he turned to face her. He would murmur the words to her, replacing Juliets name for hers, cradling her face in his hands as he stared into those sparkling bluebell eyes.
No. No. Negative. He did not find Marinette cute.
But he had to admit, she was a good seamstress.

UPDATE: Please read (don’t worry it’s nothing bad I promise)
Okay I know I haven’t really posted anything, and yes I have been lurking on Tumblr for the last few weeks (maybe a month now? idk) but that was mostly to read salt fics and look at memes. Anyways, on to the important stuff. And by important, I mean this is just an update on what I’ve been doing and why there hasn’t been any new chapters which I’m so so so sorry for not uploading anything. BEWARE, this is a pretty long post (at least for me, it’s probably fine for everyone else lol)
First off, THANK YOU SO MUCH like holy shit I just noticed I had 200 followers and like oh my god that’s literally the most amount of followers I have ever gotten so tytytyty!
Secondly, I haven’t abandoned #notmychatnoir, more like I’ve been struggling to write chapter 4 the way I want to write it because suddenly everything I wrote in it so far has made me unhappy and I also realized that while I mentioned it, I never really showed the citizens and press (other than the miracuclass of course) being salty of Chat Noir themselves so I’ve been rearranging things and removing a few other things to save for either chapter 5 or 6. The only problem is I also want to make chapter 4 longer, even if only slightly, than the other chapters simply as an apology for taking so long to get it out.
I’ve also been debating with myself over the outline I came up with for the story, which is why I’m asking everyone now: What would you like to see in #notmychatnoir? I still plan on having Felinette fluff, and I will not be doing an Adrien redemption in this fic seeing as the whole point of this was to be super salty towards him, but if anyone has any ideas of what they wanna see then I promise that I will at least consider it. I make no promises of your ideas being added, but they will definitely be helpful.
As for K12, I had a complete outline of what I wanna do for each story, but I’ve been thinking about changing some of the stories before writing them. Most of the chapters I’ve already planned out for each song will still happen the way I want them to happen, but that’ll depend on what my hands decide to type lol. Also, I must remind everyone that most of the chapters are unconnected one-shots, with only a few of them being connected into their own stories. However, depending on how each one-shot ends, I might make a follow-up or aftermath of what happens. Keyword being might though, there’s no guarantee that I’ll actually do it if I can’t find the inspiration or if nobody has any specific requests for said aftermaths.
I would also like to know if anyone has any requests for K12. Specifically, any scenarios they would like to see play out? They have to fit with the song though (Class Fight, Detention, any K12 song I haven’t written and posted yet, which is literally everything but Wheels on the Bus as of right now lol). I also want to know if there are any pairings you would like to see, or any specific character being there for Marinette during whichever scenario either you, the readers or I, the writer, decide on. For example, the friend that gave me the idea for K12 in the first place wanted the Highschool Sweethearts chapter to have Marichat, IIRC.
You can reply in the comments or reblogs but it will be a lot easier for me, now that my notifications tend to blow up every now and then, if you simply sent an ask or a DM/PM regarding any requests you may have for #notmychatnoir, K12, or even if you want me to write a one-shot or drabble based on any scenario you may have in mind. For that last one though, I can’t promise I’ll be able to do all of your requests, much less perfectly and on time (because I’m still a teenager dealing with high school and family and procrastination in general), but I do promise that I will at least try.
Lastly, I don’t know if I mentioned it (I feel like I did) but if I didn’t then I planned on writing a somewhat salty, and bittersweet, one-shot based on Melanie Martinez’s song Pity Party. It’s gonna be Lukanette, and it was supposed to be out on my birthday but I didn’t finish in time nor did I finish in time for the other deadline I gave myself. However, I still planned on releasing that particular one-shot this year so I have been working on that for the last few weeks and I’d like to think it’s almost done. I’m not going to say you should get your hopes up, but, I do plan on finishing it before New Year’s eve. I will try to finish it tonight, in time for Christmas eve or Christmas itself, but I’ve learned that I shouldn’t try to give myself any specific deadlines so I make no promises but at least I’m trying to finish it. So, look forward to that! Or don’t, if Lukanette’s not your cup of tea, then that’s fine.
That was all for my fanfic-related updates. If you would like to read my short life update, then keep reading. If you don’t then that’s all for this post.
Life update: I’ve been officially on winter break since last Thursday (the 19th), and boy is the small freedom amazing lmao. This semester wasn’t exactly my best (specifically my geometry grades and just procrastination in general) but I at least managed to get an A in French and passed all of my final exams except for my Geometry final (although that didn’t surprise me because I was lucky enough to even get a D in that class as my overall grade for the semester).
So now that I don’t have to worry about school until the break is over, which won’t be until January 9th I think, either that or the 8th, I have slightly more free time on my hands that I’ve been spending just catching up on anime, sleep, and fanfics that I’ve been reading (and writing, of course). I’ve also spent most of my money on Persona 5 and Blazblue: Cross Tag Battle so I’ve been spending time playing both of those games as well. Spoiler alert: both of those games are amazing and I’m totally gonna buy that Neopolitan DLC eventually because she’s amazing and her Astral Finish is badass.
Also, even though I’ve been told that I shouldn’t try to grow up so fast, I’ve been thinking about getting a part-time job (because I can’t rely on monthly allowance and asking my mom for a loan forever, especially if I can’t even pay back that loan in time) and I also wanna learn how to drive so I’ve just been preparing myself for both important (to me at least) things.
Lastly (for real this time lol), one of my cousins is coming down to my city for a few days this week to celebrate his birthday which is great but also a perfect opportunity for me to spend more time with him and his brother because I feel like we’ve been growing apart and the fact that both of them are no longer single despite being the same age as me (heck, I’m the “middle child” out of the 3 of us lol) makes me feel really left out which is a big oof. So I’m looking forward to spending these next few days with them as well as finishing that one-shot I mentioned.
So yeah, life is gonna be somewhat hectic for me next year as I try to take baby steps into having a responsible life and be independent but overall it’s pretty good.
If you actually got this far into the post then thanks for reading about my life I guess lol.
