All I gotta say about this fic is that bad jokes are bad.
Marinette had it. She finally had it. The cat pun that was going to blow all of his out of the water. She let out a triumphant squeal that made her sleepy kwami wake up and look at her with glassy eyes.
"Did you finally come up with one?" Tikki asked, knowing full well why Marinette was still awake at this time of night.
"Yep, and he's going to be totally surprised when I unleash it on him tomorrow," Marinette said, completely confident that this pun was so smooth, it was going to put his to utter shame.
The night was a quiet one without a single akuma in sight. This was perfect. With the patrol almost over and no danger to be found, this was the perfect time to evoke her pun. "Hold up, Chat."
"What's the matter, M'Lady?" he asked, maybe looking the slightest bit concerned over this break in character.
"Oh, it's nothing. I was just thinking I'd like to have a little chat with you," she said slyly, waiting for the cat to react with surprise.
Not skipping a beat, he smirked and drew close to her, seriously invading her personal space. Ladybug backed up a step, not sure why he was having this reaction. He leaned in, and Ladybug blushed furiously as his breath ghosted over her ear. "I was just thinking I'd like her to be named Catlynn."
