Hi! So, this is my first fanfiction on this website, and since I'm not really sure what else other authors write in the author's note up here, all I have to say is...enjoy! And don't forget to review and follow!

Cat Noir stood outside his bathroom door for a minute, thinking hard. Why did Ladybug care so much about him? No. Scratch that. Not him, Cat Noir, but him, Adrien Agreste. And when he had leaned his head against the door, why did it feel like Ladybug too had leaned her head against the door? He let out a long sigh. No way to know for sure. Ladybug was gone now. His head snapped up, as he rushed to his open window and searched the skies. Ladybug was gone now! And she would be heading back to the Eiffel Tower to say good-bye to him.

But he wasn't there. As far as she knew, though, he hadn't moved and was simply waiting for her to get back. Which meant, in order for him not to blow his secret, or for her not to lower her, let's face it, already low romantic opinion of him, he'd have to beat her to the Eiffel Tower! Oh, that was definitely a hard task. A hard task indeed. But, he was after all, Cat Noir. If anyone could do it, it would be him. As he crouched on the edge of his window, a small beep rang out.

He glanced down at his black ring, just in time to see it turn white, and the rest of his costume burned away as well, leaving him in his standard Agreste Brand clothes. Adrian let out a groan before falling backwards and into is room from the window. As he wearily got up and brushed himself off, he cursed his rotten, black cat luck. Now he'd have to recharge Plagg before transforming again, and beating Ladybug to the Eiffel Tower.

Oh well. At least Plagg was a fast eater. He'd just have to hope that Ladybug's kwami was a slow one.

Slow. So slow! "Tikki, hurry up!" Marinette exclaimed to the little kwami, who was munching a chocolate chip cookie as fast as she could, which, for the record, wasn't much. "I'm eating as fast as I can!" The little ladybug kwami assured her holder. Marinette anxiously looked around the rooftops for any sign of her partner. Surely Cat Noir wouldn't have left yet, would he? On normal days she wouldn't have cared too much if he took off without saying goodbye. That never happened, by the way. But today, ever since Volpina was defeated, for now anyways, she had a pressing question in her mind. How had he known? How could Cat Noir have bet with Adrian's life like that? If it had really been him-

No. Marinette shook her head to clear her thoughts. No. It wasn't Adrien. He was safe, she had just checked that. She glanced down to see Tikki still eating that single cookie. And the little kwami wasn't even halfway done! Although, who could blame her? Because of the attack, Marinette had to skip lunch. She sure could use a cookie right now...Tikki saw Marinette gaze longingly at the cookie in her little hands. She giggled.

"Marinette, you have an extra in your purse. You can eat it, I don't need it." The girl's face lit up.

"Thanks Tikki!"

As Marinette ate the delicious cookie, from her own bakery, she couldn't help but think about her mysterious partner. As much as she wanted to deny it, Marinette had to admit that Ladybug really wanted to know who was behind the charming, yet reckless mask. Of all the people who walked in the bakery every day, was it possible that Cat Noir was one of them? She gazed up longingly at the Eiffel Tower, where, hopefully, Cat Noir still sat, waiting for her. Oh well. Her questions would probably never get answered, but she had a couple that certainly had to be.

Cat Noir hopped onto the railing of the Eiffel Tower and sat down, leaving one leg dangling off, and he tilted his head back into the warm mid-afternoon sun. Running a hand through his golden hair, Cat Noir let himself catch his breath and think. He had actually beaten Ladybug to the Eiffel Tower! How had that happened? Maybe...hmm. Maybe he had been right? Ladybug must have stopped on the way to recharge. Her kwami must really have been slow. Or, she must be eating herself. His stomach growled. Cat Noir groaned. Maybe lunch would have been a great idea...

He gazed out over Paris, hoping to catch some sight of the red-and-black clad superhero. Every day, every minute, every second he spent with her, the more he wanted to know who she truly was. What was she so afraid of? If only he had known Ladybug would take so long, then he could have taken all the time in the world and searched every street on his path. Surely he would have caught a glimpse of the girl. She would have been in too much of a rush to hide herself. Oh well. Cat Noir let out a long sigh and leaned back once more, closing his eyes.

Ladybug was on the nearest rooftop, and was about to yo-yo onto the railing of the Eiffel Tower, when she spotted a lean, black, figure. She gently contracted her yo-yo and peered closer. Ladybug unintentionally let out a girlish giggle. It was none other than Cat Noir, leaning back on the railing as though he hadn't a care in the world. Even Ladybug had to admit, with the sun glinting off his leather clad costume, and golden hair...he actually looked pretty cute! Maybe, in a world without Adrien-

No! Not a world without Adrien. Now that was a scary thought. Ladybug swung up on the balcony of the Eiffel Tower, being extremely cautious to not make a sound. She slowly crept closer and closer, hoping to surprise the unsuspecting feline.

Cat Noir let himself relax and enjoy the warmth and peace of the moment. He never got moments like these. Not as Adrien Agreste.

As that side of him, he always had t look poised and elegant. Maintain the "picture of perfection" that came with being the son of the ever-famous Gabriel Agreste. His schedule was also packed with fencing lessons (which came in handy as Cat Noir), piano (he enjoyed those), Chinese, (those really helped him get to know Marinette, she had needed his help communicating, and he got to spend the day with her! Not that he like her...or anything), and his photo shoots for his father.

His life as Cat Noir was definitely more interesting. But anytime he had to transform, it was because there was another akumatised villain. Sure Adrien got to unleash his wild side, his true side, but he never got time to just lie there, basking in the sun, and enjoying the world around him. Except...well, except whenever Ladybug was late for patrol. That rarely ever happened, but, even though he cherished each and every moment with Ladybug, some alone time with no action would really help him. Still, ever since he became Cat Noir, he'd never felt so, so free. That was who he truly was.

Unfortunately, Ladybug never seemed to find him too appealing. But she'd come around. Speaking of which...His cat ears ruffled ever so slightly, and he detected a slight shift in the air around him. And then there was the smell. More like a...delightful aroma. Chocolate chip cookies. Ladybug...she always smelled like chocolate chip cookies, fresh out of the oven. Kind of like Marinette's bakery, and Marinette too...Ladybug's smell was distinct, at least to him, with his enhanced smell and hearing. And she was getting closer. He kept his eyes closed ad relaxed.

A cocky smile played on his lips. Let her come, he thought. Make her wonder.

Ladybug stepped closer, silent as night, even though it was still around she could clearly see his face. Was that a cocky grin on his face? She wondered why. He couldn't possibly have heard her coming, could he? She had been so quiet. Ladybug shook her head and cleared her thoughts. Of course he hadn't heard her coming. She reached out to touch his shoulder.

That's all for today guys! Ill be sure to update soon, and post stories for other things as well, although Miraculous is definitely one of my favorites! All reviews are appreciated, and don't forget to follow!
