"Wait," a voice called out. "Stop for a minute."

Marinette didn't realize they were talking to her until a hand grabbed her arm to get her attention. She turned, shocked, to face the woman trying to get her attention.

"Umm, hi?"

Marinette was a bit uncertain. She figured she was probably mistaken for someone else but the blond woman was excitedly talking.

"I have to know where you got this jacket. It's the perfect color and I have to have one. I never see anything use this color of purple."

"Oh well, this is just a prototype. I'm just testing it to make sure it is comfortable and functional."

"Did you make it? It's amazing."

"I did. I need to adjust the pockets because of the way the material moves. It makes a gap that would cause things to fall out."

"Probably make it easier to reach in for pick pockets too."

"That is a concern. I hate when I love a jacket but then end up hating it because it is useless."

"That's an entire mood that the fashion industry prefers to ignore."

"That's most of why I have my own brand. To prove you don't have to sacrifice fashion for the sake of function. They can go together."

"They could go together like you and me."

"Exactly! Wait, what?"

Marinette backtracked in the conversation before realizing what the woman was suggesting.

"I--uh--mm"

"I have that effect on people." She grinned. "I'm Stephanie."

"Marinette."

"Okay Marinette. I'm going to need your business information so I can get this jacket, preferably exclusively."

"Oh, of course. An exclusive piece will cost more. It did take time to design it. But I can make sure it is made exactly how you want it."

"Perfect. Then, I would love to have a way to contact you personally. Unless testing the jacket out includes time for me to drag you off to get coffee and waffles."

"I did skip breakfast."

"Works for me."

Stephanie had never let go of Marinette's arm so she just slid her hand down to Marinette's and gently pulled her along towards her favorite place for waffles.

Tim: I literally have a boyfriend

Steph: He's dodging the question!

[fleursroses]

Steph: That's homophobic

Marinette:

May I have your attention

My masterlist

Stephanie had never intended to stop at the same shop every day after her class but she had stopped a couple times and had seen the same person working in the corner so she started going there hoping the girl would look her way one day. Maybe it was creepy. But she wasn’t actually following her around and she never actually tried to bother her. It was never supposed to have gone this long. With most people, they would lose focus at some point and there would be a smile or eye contact, but nothing distracted her from her work. Steph had tried. She was planning on giving up because Babs wouldn’t stop making fun of her for it but Jason had overheard and had a plan.

Everyone knew that of all the plans to pick, you should never pick Jason’s. But no one else had a plan and Steph really wanted to at least meet the girl. It didn’t sound too bad and the cafe worker had agreed for the amount that Jason had offered him. So they picked a day they were all free and decided to go for it. It had taken over a week for them all to have a day together and their next option was at least two weeks out. Steph had still gone every day hoping to get her shot but the focus of the other girl never wavered.

The girl was frowning today. That was pretty rare. Steph had only seen her looking upset one other time and she had ended up leaving early. But she still had her food in front of her and a full cup of tea so hopefully that would keep her around so they could execute their plan. She ordered and was happy that the right table was available. It would put her right in the eye line of the mystery woman if their scene managed to get her attention. She sat and sent a message to Babs and Jason that it was time. The server waited until Babs was in place and Jason was just far enough away before he walked over with Steph’s order.

It was an absolute mess. It had gone off perfectly. The server had stumbled and dumped the salad in Bab’s lap and dropped the mug which shattered loudly. He was performing perfectly, apologizing for the mess and trying to go get a towel and new food when Jason turned to him and started berating him for ruining the clothes and messing up their whole day. Steph was waiting for the perfect moment. The server was shaking and looked ready to cry and she could see the lady watching what was happening with disgust. Her cue arrived and Steph moved to intervene.

“What is your problem?”

The vehemence coming from the mystery woman shocked Steph even more than her taking over her line. She was very distracted from the rest of what she said to Jason. She looked so fierce and beautiful that Steph didn’t even remember that this was supposed to be her shining moment. The scene was continuing without her and the woman was all but chasing Jason out of the cafe. He was not acting anymore with the stunned look. Steph thought he might actually be enjoying her display but he would never have a shot with the woman after his performance. He didn’t break character though and he allowed himself to be run out leaving Babs and the rest of the stunned audience there.

The woman rushed back and checked on Babs, telling her that she would be fine without him before she turned to the server and checked that he was okay. He was working on cleaning up the spill after he had gotten a towel to help with the food in Bab’s lap. He had assured Steph that her food was on the way. The woman looked around to see that the atmosphere was returning to how it had been before the incident so she looked back at her table. Rather than sitting down she started packing up her things. Steph jumped up suddenly, knocking over her chair in the process.

“That was amazing,” she said to the woman. “I really wanted to say something but I guess I hesitated too long. I’m so glad you were there.”

“I just can’t stand to see people being bullied. I am here all the time and Evan has never done anything to deserve that kind of behavior. He is always so friendly even when he is having a bad day.”

“You’re right. No one deserves being treated like that.”

The woman grabbed her things to go but Steph couldn’t just let her walk away. She could keep coming back but there is no guarantee that she would be able to get her attention again. It couldn’t all be for nothing. She had worked too hard.

“You probably need something to calm you down after that. There is a great ice cream cart at the end of the block.” The woman looked up at her. “My treat,” Steph said.

“I’ve seen it but I’ve never been. My standards for ice cream carts are pretty high.”

“It will be worth it.” Steph gave her a big smile and reached out her hand. “I’m Steph.”

“Marinette. It’s nice to meet you.”

The ladies walked out together and Marinette told Steph all about Andre’s Ice Cream in Paris and how people would look all over for the cart to get the magical ice cream. Steph was happy to finally be able to talk to her. When they both had ice creams the walked over and sat on a bench to eat them.

“I hope this ice cream is magical for us.” Steph said.

Purple Waffle

Purple jacket

My masterlist

Marinette glanced back down at the picture. It made for a perfect example of her work. Stephanie looked great in the jacket. Her smile lit up her whole face. Marinette didn’t know what to do. Steph had seemed interested and flirty, but maybe that was just her personality. Marinette was reminded of her younger years when another blonde made her forget everything she wanted to say and just stammer and blush until someone took pity and changed the subject.

Steph didn’t change the subject, but she didn’t bring it up either. Marinette needed to do something. She had to find a way to get her words to say what she wanted. Maybe she could visit her in the morning and find a way to show her what she was thinking. That might be the best plan anyway. Show rather than tell. She was always better at that anyway. Who needs words; Marinette thrived on demonstration.

---

She was lucky that she had gotten a number for Steph's roommate. This would be perfect. She brought everything she needed and set it up. She had even found a waffle maker that made heart waffles. There would be no way to misinterpret her meaning. She made the batter and dropped plenty of food color drops and let it sit while she heated up the waffle iron and started the coffee. By the time the waffle iron was hot the batter was a deep purple. Marinette could hear shuffling sounds coming from Steph's bedroom as she filled the waffle iron with the batter. The sound of the shower starting should give her just enough time to set everything up.

The waffle iron beeped and Marinette pulled it out. It Looked exactly as she had hoped. She set it on a plate and gently piped small whipped cream swirls around the outside of the waffle. The light purple of the whipped cream contrasted perfectly with the darker purple of the waffle, now slightly browned. Marinette poured the coffee and fixed it just how she remembered Stephanie liked it. She could hear her coming down the hallway now.

She rushed as she remembered the strawberries and hurried to arrange them on the waffle. Hopefully it didn’t look sloppy or thrown together. She looked up and smiled as Stephanie saw her and smiled.

“Good morning, Marinette. I wasn’t expecting to see you here and making breakfast.”

“I just really wanted to see you.”

Marinette managed to get her words out without stumbling over them. But Stephanie looked at the plate. She couldn’t seem to get any words out. Marinette was waiting to see her reaction as she stared at it in silence. Maybe she didn’t like it. Marinette looked back down. It looked pretty. The purple heart waffle was cooked well and the strawberries looked bright red against it, perfectly forming the letter U.

Stephanie made eye contact with her. Marinette bit her lip and looked down when she didn’t say anything. But Stephanie stepped close to her and used her finger to tilt Marinette’s chin back up. She leaned over the plate and pressed her lips against Marinette's. She looked into her eyes as she pulled back slightly.

"I heart you too."
