Not a good idea
"I don´t know what´s going on. He acted so strange today." A bluenette said worried.
"Who acted strange?"
The bluenette, named Marinette, whirled around to look at the source of the new voice.
"Surprised Princess?" Said a blonde boy in a black leather suit.
"Chat Noir?! Don´t scare people like that! How did you even get in here?" Marinette shrieked upset.
"Your hatch is open and I thought that a visit would be nice. No need to freak out." Chat said as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.
This cat is going to drive me crazy! Marinette thought.
Before she replied, she tried to calm herself down and sighed. Chat waited patiently for her reply.
"Okay Chat." Marinette continued. "But, PLEASE knock next time ok? "
Chat nodded and answered with a short "Of Course".
"Soooo, why are you visiting me at …" Marinette glanced at her clock. "About 11 pm?"
Chat chuckled. "Well as I already said, I wanted to visit you. I thought it would be nice to talk with my Purrincess."
Marinette rolled her eyes at his bad pun and Chat smirked. After a while Marinette eyed Chat sceptically. Only now she realizes that he has dirt all over his suit and in his hair. He also looked very tired.
What could´ve he done to look this bad?
Chat looked at her with a puzzled look. Now she realized that she´d been staring. She quickly looked away to hide her small blush before she began to speak again.
"Why are you in this bad condition Chat? You look like you haven´t slept well the last night and where have you been? You have dirt all over you."
Marinette looked at him again after she thought her blush died down and watched him with a concerned expression on her face. Chat however looked away now awkwardly.
"Ummm … well … y-you see …" He began to stutter out.
Marinette waited patiently, getting more confused and concerned with every second.
"If you don´t want to say it, because it involves very much of your identity then you don´t need to." She began with a reassuring smile on her face.
Chat smiled back kindly and Marinette felt an aching in her chest at that. After Chat whispered a small "Thank you", she noticed again that he´s still dirty.
"Chat you need to clean yourself up. You can use the shower and I´ll bring you a towel."
He blinked at her in surprise before he quickly answered. "Oh no, you don´t need to do that. Besides I´m perfectly fine."
Marinette got one step closer. "No you´re not. It is no problem. My parents aren´t home, because they are visiting some friends. I won´t look who you are, I promise, but you really need to clean yourself."
She stepped a little bit closer and touched his arm, which surprised him.
"And you need to warm up. You´re cold."
Marinette, still holding his arm, pleaded him with her gaze.
Chat eventually gave in. "Alright fine, if you insist."
She nodded happily and walked to her closet.
"What are you doing?"
Marinette giggled. "You need a towel, silly kitty."
Before she could find a towel she froze. Oh crap. Why did I need to call him by his nickname? Hopefully he doesn´t notice. Oh please let him not find out.
Chat bursted into laughter. After Marinette relaxed she joined and they both laughed furiously. After they calmed down Marinette began to search for the towel again and quickly found it.
"Aha! Here you go. I can lead you the way."
She gave him the towel and walked through the trapdoor into the living room.
"The bath is that way. I´ll get us something to drink."
Chat nodded and walked in the direction Marinette pointed out. After he went into the bath and closed the door, he detransformed and Plagg flew out of his ring and sat down on the edge of the sink.
"Well, that went better as expected." Plagg began.
"But can I have cheese now? I´m hungry." He whined.
"You´re always hungry."
Adrien searched for some cheese in his pocket and quickly found some.
"Here you go, so please stop whining."
Plagg took eagerly the cheese out of Adrien´s hand and began to eat.
"I´m going to shower now."
Plagg didn´t say anything so Adrien just did that. After he finished showering he dried himself of and put on his clothes. In the meantime Plagg finished eating his cheese.
"Plagg, quick question." Adrien began to say.
Plagg whirled around and looked at him.
"What is it?" Plagg asked.
"How can I clean the suit?" Adrien continued.
"Oh that´s easy. You just need to clean it with water. That´s all. Transform yourself, rub the dirt of with water and dry it. It´s pretty simple." Plagg said with a shrug.
"Alright then. Plagg, Claws out!"
After Adrien was transformed he quickly cleaned his suit. It took longer than he thought, because he needed to clean at places he can´t quite reach, like his back. But he eventually finished and dried the suit of with the towel Marinette gave to him. After he stepped out of the bath he noticed two things. First of all he heard the sound of cooking. Second of all he smelled food. It smelled pretty good and Chat needed to collect himself before he drooled all over the floor. He began to walk to the source of this smell and sound and quickly found Marinette in the kitchen. She was cooking something.
"Marinette? What are you doing?" Chat asked puzzled.
"Oh, I´m just cooking something." Marinette said happily.
"Soooo, why are you cooking?" The puzzled look on Chat´s face never leaving.
"You didn´t have to do that. I´m actually quit astonished that you would let me in your house and then shower. I´ve never met a person with such a great kindness. I don´t want to take advantage of that. I´ve been a burden for you long enough."
Marinette turned fully around and looked at him sadly.
Did nobody in his entire life treated him kindly? Oh, poor cat.
Marinette, much to Chat´s surprise, walked to him and hugged him. Chat froze in place. At some point, maybe seconds or minutes afterwards, Marinette doesn´t know, Chat hugged her back and cried. But not some tears, he really cried and sobbed loudly into her shoulder.
Marinette softly pet his back and silently said, "It´s ok. You can let it out. I don´t know how long you´ve hold it inside yourself, but I´m always here for you. You hear me?"
Chat nodded between his sobs, and slowly his crying subsided.
"It´s ok." Marinette continued. "You´re not a burden. I can understand that there may be tuff times, but I´m always here for you, you know?"
Chat hugged her tighter and whispered a small `thank you´ in her ear. They stayed like that for a couple of minutes. Each of them enjoying the warmth from each other. Until they hear a loud sizzle from behind.
"THE FOOD!"
Marinette jumped up and ran back to the pot where the boiling food was inside. While Marinette continued to cook and clean the stove, which apparently got dirty with hot food, Chat just stood there sighing and smiling at Marinette.
Well, he thought I don´t know how I deserve such a kind and caring person like you Marinette, but I´m so glad I have you.
He smiled brighter and watched Marinette finish the cooking.
After Marinette finished the food and filled two plates with it, she brought it to the sofa and sat next to Chat. After she handed him the plate with some cutlery, she glanced at the clock.
"Well, this is going to be a midnight dinner." She said and both of them began to laugh.
Apparently it had gotten twelve, to be more exact eleven fifty-five, while both of them were chatting and Marinette cooking. After they recovered, they began to eat. Marinette could tell that Chat was hungry. She hadn´t seen any person eating that fast before.
That´s kinda cute. She thought.
After Chat finished Marinette asked curious, "So, did you like it?".
Chat replied happily. "I love it! I haven´t eaten anything better. At all! It´s amazing!"
Marinette chuckled. "I glad you like it. It´s my first time that I cooked something like that so I´m glad it´s not that bad."
"Are you kidding? This is amazing. You´re a natural talent."
Chat said hurt as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.
"If you say so." She replied with a smile.
In the meantime she took both of their plates and walked to the kitchen.
"I know so!" Chat said after her.
Marinette just chuckled.
After the plates and cutlery were placed in the dishwasher and the kitchen has been cleaned, both of the teenagers were back in Marinette´s room. Chat sat on Marinette´s chair and Marinette on her chaise. They were just talking and laughing about new gossip that´s been spreading all around Paris. At some point Chat noticed some design´s and a mannequin and asked if Marinette designed herself. Of course he already knows that, but he loves to watch her talk about fashion. She acts very different around Chat then around Adrien and he likes it.
She looks so cute when she´s so happy and energetic.
So Chat and Marinette talked about fashion, a LOT about fashion and Marinette is impressed at how much Chat knows about it. He could tell her what´s in and out and what trends apparently might come next year. She was amazed at how much he knows. It was creepy and astonishing at the same time. She just sat there in awe at how much he reported her.
"I didn´t know, that your into fashion Chat Noir. It´s quite impressive." Marinette said after some time, smirking at Chat.
"I´m not that much into fashion, but in a family were fashion is like your daily bread, you´re growing up with some knowledge, you know. I would rather know more about physics or math, but you get what you get." He says as if it is the most obvious thing in the world.
What Chat doesn´t know is that Marinette is exploding right now with questions.
"You have parents which work with fashion? Who are they? Do I know them? What did they teach you? Can you tell me? Pleeeeaaaase?"
After Marinette finished with her rambling, Chat and her face were not more than two inches apart. Chat just looked at her with big shocked eyes. Sapphire was staring into Emerald for one whole minute until Chat finally had recovered from, in his opinion, shock of his life.
He quietly said, "W-Well, I can´t tell you who my parents are… "
"Oh, secret identity. I forgot, sorry."
Marinette removed her face from his and began to walk back to the chaise, until Chat continued.
"But I can tell you more about fashion and give you tips if you want to."
Marinette looked at him happily, ran to him and hugged him with such a great force, Chat thought he could hear his ribs shatter.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Repeated Marinette over and over again.
Chat turned slightly blue and began to choke. "Mari … I-I c-can´t brea…."
"Oh sorry Chat"
Marinette quickly stopped and sat back down on the chaise.
"I´m just glad that I can talk to someone about fashion. Most off my friends don´t know something about it and my parents too. I want to collect experience and ideas, you know."
"But that´s no reason to kill people." Chat replied still holding his chest, breathing heavily.
Marinette just giggled. "Soooo, what do you know about this winter season. I want to design a jacket and want to know about the no go´s."
She asked, smiling at him. He just smiled back and began to talk. In the meanwhile Marinette writes some notes, so she can remember everything when winter is coming. There is still some time left, but she knows that next week, she doesn't remember any of it, that´s for sure.
After Chat Noir finished with his presentation about this winter season and Marinette had so much information, that it filled half of her notebook. After she laid it back on her desk, Marinette brought him a glass of water, because his throat dried out. He can´t remember that he spoke this much in his whole life before. It was pretty exhausting, but he didn´t mind. Chat likes to help Marinette and the smile that never leaved her face the entire time he spoke was actually pretty cute, now that he thought about it.
"Thank you Chat, you are a big help." Marinette said happily after she handed him the glass.
"No problem." Chat replied. "I like to help other people. I never thought that this knowledge is good use for any off my friends."
He smiled and drank a bit from the water. Marinette just looked questionably at Chat.
"Friend?" She asked astonished.
Chat just looked shocked.
"Ummm, well ….. Uhhhh if you don´t want to …" Chat began saddened.
"NO, of COURSE we can be friends." Marinette gasped.
"I was just surprised that you call me a friend, even if you don´t know me that much. I mean we only met two maybe three or four times, so I didn´t thought that you would accept me as a friend already."
Chat just looked at Marinette with a just as shocked expression as herself. For many seconds, both of them fell silent. They couldn´t even hear each other's breathing.
"Marinette, you´re the kindest person I´ve ever met. You´ve let me in your house and gave me food. To me, a complete stranger! You cheered me up and I´m very thankful for that. So why shouldn´t I call you a friend?"
Chat made that clear with such a sweet, gentle and caring tone, that Marinette needed all her strength to not cry here and then.
"So," Chat continued. "Are you my friend?"
Marinette chuckled a little bit and replied with a smile, "Of course you silly kitty."
They both laughed together and began talking again.
After some time, they both had the idea to play some video games. Luckily for Marinette, Chat needed to go to the bathroom and didn´t saw her computer background. After Chat came back Marinette handed him a controller and both of them started playing. After the played for a whole hour, fortunately it was Friday so both of them didn´t need to go to school the next day, Marinette archived more wins than Chat.
"Wow, you´re pretty good. Who thought you to play like this?" he asked.
"Nobody." Marinette smiled. "I just practiced a lot."
After some time Chat glanced at the clock.
"It´s already 1.45 am! How the time flies by."
Marinette nodded. "Do you know what I have been asking myself Chat?"
"No."
"Why are you even here? Not that I don´t like it, but why?" She asked.
"..."
"Umm Marinette?"
She looked up at him and nodded.
"Do you promise me to not flip out when I tell you?"
Marinette just looked at him puzzled but nodded slightly afterwards. Some seconds pass before Chat continued.
"Can I live with you?"
Cliffhanger :D
