Author's Note: Hey Guys! I've been wanting to start writing fan fiction for a while now, but never got the inspiration until now. I've been obsessed with Miraculous Ladybug lately and I've been so frustrated about Ladybug/Marinette and Chat Noir/Adrian's "relationship" that I've decided to write about it instead of waiting for the new episodes. Anyways, I hope you like it! :D

Disclaimer: I do not own any of Miraculous Ladybug characters

The sun was slowly making its way down, casting a beautiful light on the city of Paris. A warm breeze made its way through the almost empty streets: picking up leaves on its way and sending them dancing up in the air. Marinette was perched on her balcony watching the whole scene. Her glossy black hair was let lose, instead of her habitual pigtails. Paris was usually so grey; these hot summer evenings were a lot better. She usually enjoyed being up here, just looking out at the city in front of her, but something was off that night.

Tikki, her kwami, could feel it too. Marinette's smile was gone and replaced by a frown. Sure the city was beautiful, but it had been too calm these past few days. The last akuma had been defeated at least a week ago, which was the longest Paris had gone without any villain in sight. What could Hawk Moth be up to?

"Are you okay Marinette?" Tikki chirped.

"Uh?" she half-consciously answered.

"Marinette!" her little guardian screamed as loud as her voice could allow and tugged at her protégé's sleeves in vain. "Listen to me!"

"Yes, sorry Tikki. I was just thinking about the lack of action these days."

Suddenly as though the universe had heard her, a loud cry pierced through the silent night. Marinette stood up in alert, scanning the horizon.

"How's that for some action" Tikki joked. "Let's go see what it is."

Marinette nodded: "Okay Tikki, spots on!"

The young girl hovered in the air for an instant before coming down, completely transformed into a full ladybug print body suit. Yoyo in hand, she leaped off the roof towards the scream.

Meanwhile, Adrian was pressed up against his window. He too was worried about Hawk Moth's lack of activity. His kwami, however, did not seem to share his feelings: Plagg was too busy devouring a whole chunk of smelly Camembert while flying around the boy's head.

"Plagg can you please stop that. That cheese smells gross."

"But it's so good," the little cat whined. "Are you sure you don't want any?"

The blond sighted in exasperation before letting himself fall into the nearest chair. The peaceful city bothered him. Especially since combating villains gave him an excuse to spend time with Ladybug. He hadn't seen her since their last night patrol, which had been three days ago. They had been working together for three years now, and in all that time he had never spent that much time without seeing her. Even though they had both decided not to patrol for the time being, he couldn't help but worry for her. What if something had happened? What if–

The young superhero's train of thoughts were abruptly interrupted by a loud scream coming from outside. He jumped up at the sound in a swift cat like motion and rushed back to the window. There was nothing to be seen, just empty streets. Still, Adrian was sure the cry had come from somewhere in the neighborhood.

"Plagg, transform me!" he cried out as he hit the piece of cheese out of the kwami's paws. The little cat huffed in disapproval and proceeded to combining with the miraculous found on Adrian's ring finger. In just a second, the boy was changed into a full black cat costume and a matching mask. He rapidly opened the windows and jumped down, landing right back on his feet.

Another cry was heard; coming from two blocks down, Chat Noir presumed. It was a girl's voice, no doubt that, but not Ladybug's. He couldn't help but sight, at least now he knew his precious Lady was all right. The cat made an abrupt right turn into an empty alley: weird, he had never noticed it before.

"Hello? Anybody out here?" he half-whispered as he tiptoed his way farther into the backstreet.

"Chat Noir? Long time no see." Ladybug's familiar voice called out from behind him. Adrian instantly grinned at the sound:

"My Lady. Couldn't stay away now could you? Was it because of my chatrisma?"

Ladybug couldn't help but laugh at Chat's horrible pun. That was one of the worst ones she had ever heard from him and she had heard a LOT.

"C'mon Noir, no time to flirt. Did you hear that noise too?"

"Yeah, I'm pretty sure it came from here, but there's nobody in sight."

"Let's go see."

The two superheroes slowly made their way into the dark alley, weapons in hand, eyes alert. They were used to having evil akumas jumping out of nowhere all the time, but to their surprise, they reached the dead end with no problem.

"That's strange," Ladybug said, her eyebrows raised in confusion. "There's nothing here. We should just leave."

"Wait my Lady! Look there!"

In a quick second, Chat Noir was on the other side of the alley, near three smelly trashcans. He crouched down and stared down at the ground before beckoning the young girl to join him.

"What is it?" she asked, perplexed.

He stood up and placed a small object in her opened palm. It was a beautiful necklace with a small yin-yang sign hanging from it.

"How did you see it from all the way over there?"

"I've got extremely good vision. You could even say that I have purrfect vision," he winked.

She smiled at his stupid joke and he couldn't help noticing how beautiful she looked that night. He steadily took the pendant from her grip while she stared at him curiously, and carefully clasped it around her neck.

"What are you doing?" she chuckled, blushing slightly.

"You're gorgeous," he simply retorted, slowly bringing his head closer to hers. Her eyes started to close as he placed his warm hand on her hip. Their lips were not even an inch apart and Adrian's heart felt as it was going to explode: never had he gotten so close to her before. Was Ladybug finally going to give in?

"I sh- should… probably go," she explained nervously as she pushed Chat away. "There's noting here. It was a false alarm"

"But-"

"See you around," she hurried away, leaving a defeated Chat Noir behind her.

Now transformed back into her normal self, Marinette climbed into her room and collapsed onto her bed, Tikki trailing behind her.

"How could I have let myself get that close?"she repeated to herself over and over again.

She loved Adrian: she couldn't go around kissing another boy! Still her mind kept going back to the green-eyed cat, like it had for the past few weeks. Somehow, she couldn't get that egocentric boy out of her head. She couldn't help but think about how cute his grin looked after making a bad pun, or how caring he was when she got injured during a battle.

"Stop it Marinette" she told herself. "You're in love with Adrian. You can't like two boys at once. That's not right!"

She sighted: she must be crazy talking to herself like that.

"You should go to sleep Marinette," her kwami softly whispered in her ear. "You've got school tomorrow."

"You're right. Goodnight Tikki."

"Goodnight Marinette."

And with that, the little ladybug tucked herself in between the brunette's arms, and they fell asleep.
