Adrien needs more kisses from Marinette – he is basically a cat and he needs the affection, the attention. However, Mari doesn't always give in to his requests and thus he starts doing things that he knows will get him more, even if it isn't on the mouth – attention is affection is attention. Cats are supposed to be clever and sneaky, right?

Kisses when they first wake up in the morning when they sleep together after an exhausting patrol. Kisses when they first see each other at school. Even if they already had a good morning kiss – can't raise any suspicions if they don't do what they usually do. Then goodbye kisses when they separate at lunch or after school or after patrol, usually all of the above much to his delight. Often they are very brief, but it helps tide Adrien over until the next one.

"Maarrriiiiiiiii. I cut myself again. Kiss it better?" Which she does. Every time. Adrien has a suspicious number of band aids.

When Mari would come over to the Agreste mansion during the Christmas season it took nearly 3 times as long to get anywhere because they had to keep stopping. "I honestly don't know why they went crazy with the mistletoe this year, Princess. That is so weird. But, we keep walking under it and you know what that means…"

Cheesy romance stuff tended to work the best. So he helped Mari with her jacket, opened doors, held umbrellas, pulled her chair out, offered his arm or hand, et cetera. He was already a gentleman, thank you very much, but he made sure that he was always more so with Mari because she would always look so cute when he did. And he usually got a kiss for his efforts.

"I saw this and I thought of you and I just had to get it. I really hope you like it…"

"Oh! I have something for you!"

"(Insert something pretty, cute, or sweet here) always makes me think of you."

This type of declaration was usually met with a slightly flustered Marinette with her cheeks painted with her absolutely adorable blush giving him a kiss in thanks. Sometimes she would have something for him and he would get to kiss her. Those are good days.

Every time Adrien brings her flowers he gets a kiss. Mari has to ask him to give her less flowers. They ran out of vases 3 bouquets ago and had to scrounge up jam jars or glasses – something to put the ridiculous number of flowers in – and that was after getting rid of a couple old bouquets.

When he pouted he got another kiss. Which he then added to the list of ways to get Mari Kisses™. Though that one didn't have as high a success rate as other methods, sometimes she would just laugh at him.

Sometimes when he just couldn't take it – he was really craving attention or after a nerve-wracking battle or she was just being Marinette – Adrien would grab Mari and plant one on her. Sometimes there was a mutual agreement that one wasn't enough. Sometimes when it was he would then just kiss her forehead or hair and just hold her.

The best Mari Kisses™ were the ones that he didn't see coming.


Let's be honest: Mari is definitely the type of person to kiss a booboo better. Which Adrien uses to his advantage. Though he has to be careful because the photographers and editors get annoyed when he has too many band aids.

Mari may or may not realize what he is doing. Either way he is still a silly kitty.

I don't think this is as good as it could be - but it was really cute and I wanted to write it out... send me suggestions if you want! (Edit: If you have any ideas or suggestions I might try to expand this past a oneshot!)
