Coz: so, where do i enter?

Marinette: oh

Marinette: right!)

Marinette: u see, i'm so distracted all the time!

Marinette: anyway

Marinette: we want them to speak in verse when they meet on their secret dates

Coz: i see

Coz: is there an approximate content of their dialogues?

Marinette: very approximate...

Coz: so more like free writing

Coz: which doesn't have to be a bad thing

Coz: maybe something like

Coz: Your blue eyes are beautiful even at night

Coz: I'm scared that it turns out that I am not right

Coz: That I am not worthy of kissing your lips

Coz: This moment will suddenly end in an eclipse

Marinette: wow

Marinette: did u just write this?

Coz: it came to my mind when i imagined this couple on a secret date

Coz: this is a very rough sketch, but u need to start with something, right?

Marinette: a rough sketch???

Marinette: these lines r so good!!

Coz: not good enough

Coz: some words require clarification

Coz: and the fourth line needs to be corrected 'cause of the rhythmic error

Marinette: what's rhythmic error?

Coz: in verse, all lines should have the same rhythmic structure

Coz: stressed syllables alternate with unstressed ones in a certain order

Coz: otherwise the rhythm breaks

Coz: just like it does at the end of the fourth line

Marinette: wow

Marinette: Adrien was right

Marinette: u r really good at that

Coz: i guess i was good once

Coz: but i stopped writing a long time ago

Marinette: it's a waste

Marinette: it's obvious that u have a talent

Marinette: besides, u also understand what u r doing!

Marinette: so like u can do it both with ur heart and ur mind

Felix wasn't feeling right.

Marinette would never tell him all those compliments and give all this support if she knew it was him. And though they kind of were enemies — not that he had a reason for it, Felix was more like following her lead every time she started arguing with him — he would prefer her to say those words to his face, which would never happen.

Felix was self-confident and usually did not need outside support for his undertaking, but for some reason such open admiration from this girl hit him to the core.

He stopped writing poetry after his father's death and didn't think he would have an inspiration to ever write again. But this story touched him, as if it was written about himself...

Marinette: i have to ask though

Marinette: why does she have blue eyes?

Felix blinked.

He reread the lines and realized that when he imagined the masked couple on a secret date, the eyes looking back at him from behind the mask were her eyes.

Marinette.

Felix shook his head. This was getting deeper than it should have.

Coz: blue is good collor

Coz: do u have something against blue?

He wrote, trying to cover his tracks.

Marinette: no, no

Marinette: i don't mind

Marinette: my eyes r blue as well

Marinette: i was just curious

Marinette: for me it sounds perfect

Marinette: i can associate myself with a heroine better

Marinette: so it's gonna be easier to write about her feelings, i guess

Felix sighed.

Accepting compliments while hiding under the guise of someone else from a girl who hated him in real life was more than enough for him to also identify with the character in this story.

It remains only to fall in love with her for the full picture!

Marinette: so thank u again

Marinette: u also explained me about rhythm in verses

Marinette: and wrote few lines for our story

Marinette: and even explained me about turning bad luck into good

Marinette: u r just a treasure!

Marinette: i don't understand why Adrien hid u for so long!

Marinette: maybe he was afraid that you would take away all his fans?

Marinette: with ur writing talent, u don't even need to be a model for that

The reminder of Adrien upset him even more. The more she praised him, the more she would hate him when she knew it was Feelix. And the presence of Adrien in this situation guarantees that at the latest when Marinette finds out the truth is at school tomorrow.

Felix himself did not notice when this fact began to upset him.

Marinette: can i call u?

Felix read her message again.

Looks like the moment of truth will come sooner than he anticipated.

Of course Felix could say that he couldn't speak right now or try to change his voice. But what will it give? Few more messages about poetry?

At least this way it will happen outside a crowded place and the issue will be closed.

Felix pressed the call button himself.

"Oh, hey!" Marinette exclaimed into the phone, but he heard that she was trying to speak quietly. "Sorry, I wasn't sure you could talk. It's pretty late already, my parents are asleep, so I can't speak loud. But I really wanted to hear your voice."

"I see." Felix said also in a low voice and sighed, preparing to take the hit. At least she won't scream so as not to wake up her parents. "Now you heard it."

"You have an even, calm voice. I like it." Marinette said.

What?

Not a day went by that they didn't yell at each other at school. There was no way she wouldn't recognize his voice, unless...

Marinette was used to his loud, rough voice. Plus, she doesn't expect to hear HIS voice here. And how not to believe after that that people see and hear only what they want or expect?

"Your voice is nice too." Felix said finally. 'When you don't use it for yelling at me,' – he added in his head.

"We never met, but I had this feeling that I know you." Marinette admitted. "So I wanted to hear your voice too, you know, maybe to shake that feeling away?"

"Did it work?" Felix asked.

"Not really." She laughed softly. "It actually didn't, 'cause now it feels like I know your voice too."

Here it comes, Felix thought.

"Maybe it's one of those cases when you meet someone for the first time, and it feels like you know each other forever?" Marinette suggested. "I only heard of it before. Don't you feel something similar?"

"Kind of." He replied evasively .

"So tell me, why Adrien has a photo of a red-haired dog instead of your picture in your contact?" Marinette asked.

'It's because Adrien knows that Ladybug gave the dog miraculous to me instead of him and he still hasn't settled on this subject, because he has a crush on her, and I stole her yoyo with all the miraculous, so you can imagine the situation for him...' – that would have been hell of an answer, Felix thought.

"It's a long story." He said instead.

"Hmm... Now you are like a mystery to me." Marinette said. "But someone taught me to use bad luck and make a good out of it." She added, and Felix could hear her smiling.

The corners of his mouth twitched into an unconscious smile in response.

"And what good is it in not knowing the face of your interlocutor?" He asked.

"I can imagine you the way I want." She explained.

Felix smirked.

Marinette was learning fast and could have a great potential for an interesting company.

Too bad their conversation will soon have to be interrupted.

"And how do you imagine me?" Felix asked, deciding to enjoy the moment, since such an opportunity was presented to him.

"I haven't decided yet." Marinette replied. "But I'll tell you when I do."
