All constructive criticism is greatly appreciated.

I do not own any of the characters

Don't cringe to hard

Chat noir jumped from roof to roof brandishing just about the biggest grin he'd ever worn.

It had been a little over two years since he received his ring and became Chat Noir, also two years since he started working with Ladybug.

Together they had worked to fight the evil akuma that the villain Hawkmoth had made. They always seems to defeat the akumas , but had yet to get close to capturing Hawkmoth himself.

The young hero pushed the villain to the back of his mind, his attention was needed elsewhere.

Just thinking about the lucky heroine made the feline hero's grin grow more, but his lady was not the source of his excitement. Ladybug would always hold a special place in the hero's heart, but over the last few months he had been meeting with a certain daughter of a baker. The young hero was on his way to see her now.

The hero landed softly on roof just across from the bakery, the one that had easily become his favorite in all of Paris. He could see the lights on from the upstairs room he knew belonged to his princess.

The blonde hero jumped to her balcony as silently as possible he peered into her window, he grinned as he saw her happily humming away as she was sewing. It made he happy seeing her so excited about her passion it was one of the many things he liked about her.

He lightly tapped on her window not wanting to scare her but enough to get her attention. He had to hide a smirk as she jumped startled and looked up at him. He just about melted when she flashed him a warm smile ,before getting up to let him in.

The feline hero dropped into the room if his princess with a grin. He kneel down and took her hand, a devilish grin spreading across his face in satisfaction to the bright blush on the girl's face.

With that he kissed her hand his grin growing at the intensifying blush on the young woman's face.

Marinette Dupain-Cheng saw at her desk sewing the hem of a skirt she was working on for her best friend Alya. She was humming happily focused on her work ,when a familiar voice squeaked in her ear and then she felt a warm kiss on her cheek.

Marinette looked up to see the red goddess of luck smiling at her warmly as she giggled from the teens startled look.

"What's up Tikki" , Marinette searches her little friends eyes to see and tell if something was wrong. This earned her and earnest giggle from the creature of creation.

"Calm down Marinette nothing is wrong, I just said maybe you should get some sleep." , Marinette giggled as she felt Tikki nuzzle up to her cheek.

It had been two years since she received the ladybug earrings and meet her wonderful friend Tikki.

Tikki being the Kwami of the ladybug earrings. It had also meant it had been two years since she began the heroine of Paris ,Ladybug.

There had been many times over the two years where she had doubted herself, believing she wasn't enough or strong enough. Many times she had been proven wrong either by her own actions or by her partner Chat Noir.

As much as he got on her nerves with his constant puns and his continuous flirting. Well , if she really wanted to be honest with herself she kind of liked it. It only annoyed her when she wanted him to be serious, but all in all she trusted him and cared for him with everything she was.

While she could honestly say she liked Chat's flirting and thought to some extent that he was very charming ,she smiled warmly as she thought of her feline companion. As she thought her eyes drifted to look over to one of the many pictures she had of her crush, she couldn't deny the feelings she held for a certain blonde model.

The picture was of course of Adrien Agreste, his emerald eyes and pearly smile lookin back at her made her heart flutter. She moved her gaze around the room stopping on different pictures of the model. Some cut from fashion magazines ,some taking together as friends and some just candid of the male model. She finally moved her attention back her kwami who had being trying to get her attention again.

" I'm sorry Tikki ,what did you say", the blueunette sheepishly rubbing the back of her next grinning slightly at the annoyed face of her Kwami.

"I said you should get some sleep Marinette, it's getting late and you have school tomorrow. Alya's skirt can wait till tomorrow", the little goddess gave her a kiss in the cheek. Marinette look to the clock and smiled.

"Ok Tikki let me finish the seam to the end and I'll head to bed deal", the teen smiled to her little friend. After earning a nod of approval the bluenette went back to her sewing beginning to hum the newest song from Jagged Stone. Just as she got back to her work she jumped at a slight tap at her skylight. She looked up to she the grinning face of Chat Noir.

Her heart fluttered at the grin of the feline hero, it had started happening a few months back when he started visiting her after and akuma attack.

(Flashback)

Marinette had just left her classroom with her friends Alya, Nino , and Adrien. It was their lunch break and they had planned to eat together to talk about doing something that weekend as a group. They had just barely started eating before a loud crash and screams could be heard. Alya was the first to jump up sprinting off to get footage of the fight for the ladyblog, Nino was quick after her worried about her like he always was during akumas attacks.

Marinette quickly ran out after them stopping to look for somewhere to transform, when a car came flying her way. She screamed and closed her eyes fearing that was it for her , when she felt A pair of arms wrap around her lifting her off the ground.

"It's alright princess, I've got you", she looked up to she that she was bein cradled in the arms of Chat Noir as he vaulted of the roofs of Paris towards her bakery. Shortly arriving seeing as she hadn't gotten to far from the school chat dropped her off on her balcony. He stopped and examined her before nodding, and grinning.

"You look unhurt princess, stay safe here I'll be back to check on you after ladybug and I defeat this akuma", before she could protest he gave her his signature grin and a wink before vaulting off towards the fight.

When he was safely far off she sighed and transformed to go join him in said fight. The fight took them a while she noted that school would be well over when they had finished. After purifying the akuma and doing their signature fish bump Chat turned on his heels.

"Love to stay and Chat with you my lady, but I have someone I must check up on", with that he vaulted of in the direction that was unmistakable her house.

She still to this day doesn't know how she beat him there, maybe the extreme stress of the possibility reveal made her move faster. She made it home in time to see Chat just land on roof across from hers.

He came in to her room like he had done in a few occasions before and checked in her, after that he had been coming on almost nightly visits.

(Flashback over)

She smiled warmly as she looked up at the feline hero, she got up from her desk to let him in. As soon as the skylight door was open he had descended into her room, taking a knee before her taking her hand in his. She saw the grin spread of his face from her obvious blush, then he grinned he usual teasing grin as he kiss her hand her face flaring up as red a tomato.

"Good evening purrincess ", she smiled at his corny nickname for her. She placed her hand in the blonde mess that was the hero's hair, as she did he leaned a bit into her hand. This had became their normal greetings in the few months they had been meeting.

"Good evening Chaton what brings you here this fine evening", she scratched his chin a bit earning her a slight purr. She moved back to her desk and the skirt she was working on.

Chat noir quietly sneaking up next to her resting his chin on her leg as she continued to sew. This had also been a regular thing For them, Chat would show up just to was her sew or to help her with homework. He had even gone so far as to stay and listen to her rants about Chole and she felt bad for when Alya had to stay and listen to them.

Without realizing it they had stay in this position for a few hours. Marinette has finished the skirt sometime ago. She had long since taken up brushing her hands through the blonde me of hair that lay in her lap.

She found it quite cute when he had began to purr, he blush as his tail straighten. She giggled at his antics as she went back to playin with his hair. His low purrs began to soothe her, before either of them knew it it was well pass two in the morning.

The bluenette suddenly straightened out at the realization of the time. This earned her a slight groan from the feline hero in her lap, she couldn't help but smirk that him. That's when she fully got hold of the position they were in.

The hero's head was fully in her lap with his hand resting on her knee, she could feel heat from her own blush. The teen locked eyes with the hero he had been watching her since she had moved.

He gave her his signature grin as he looked at with caring eyes. As they stayed eyes looked she noticed something about the way he was looking at her, she'd seen that look before. It was the way he had often looked at ladybug, she knew the look all to well. She'd seen him looking at her many times over their patrols or when fighting akumas, the same glint of affection and care flashing in his eyes.

Seeing this made her heart skip a beat, and her mind started going a mile a minute. There was no way that chat noir was looking at her like he looked at ladybug. He looked at his partner with love, there was no way that he could have feelings like that for her. She knew by this point she was over thinking it, she knew that the hero of Paris could feel anything for plain, clumsy Marinette.

Besides she told herself, his eyes or not he was in love with ladybug. Mentally she knew that just meant he was in love with her, but he didn't know the girl under the mask. Ladybug was so much more than she was, she was more confident and strong. Where without the mask as Marinette she was just a clumsy mess. Much to the protests from Tikki that this wasn't true, that she was ladybug all in all and to believe in herself.

Still Char Noir couldn't be thinking about her like that not plain old Marinette, not when he had amazing ladybug to chase after. Also she liked the current friendship her and the feline hero had built. Their late night game sessions, late night movie, the comforting talks, and nights like this where they just say together.

She wouldn't let herself over think his gaze and mess anything up. Beside her heart belonged to Adrien, even after two years of crushing on him and she still couldn't form a complete sentence when talking to him.

The bluenette turned her attention back to the blonde hero that still lay in her lap, head tilted looking up at her. She had given up trying to hide her blush, although oddly enough she felt strangely calm with him there with her. She started to stretch and stir earning her a slightly irritated grunt, laced with a bit of sadness coming from the hero.

"Alright silly kitty , you gotta go. I have school in the morning and I'm pretty sure you do too. "she smiled as she looked at him. As the hero stood she could swear she saw a look of disappointment across his face. Before she could say something about it he quickly looked back to her a grinned. They made their way across her room to the skylight to let the hero out into the night.

As they opened the skylight window for chat to leave , she stopped to smile warmly at the hero who returned he smile with a caring grin. Suddenly his tail had snakes around her waist cause her to squeak in surprise. She looked from him to his tail then back to him, he chuckled nervously as meh snatched his tail from her waist.

The bluenette could honestly say she felt a little sad that he moved it. Again before she could say anything he had jumped out the window, quickly peeking his head back with a cheeky grin.

"Goodnight My Princess, I'll visit again", and with that he jumped off into the night.

"Goodnight chaton", she knew he probably wouldn't hear her, she moved from the window turned of her lights and went to bed thinking of night with the hero.

Chat Noir landed in his room through open window, letting his transformation drop and jumping on his bed. Adrien Agreste started up at his ceiling only to be assaulted by his Kwami.

"Adrien I'm staving where's my Camembert ", Adrien chuckled as he pulled a little container out opening it to reveal the stinky cheese. The blonde teen watched the black Kwami dive in the cheese.

"Plagg I need some advice", the black god of destruction looked up at him with cheeks stuffed with cheese.

The cat swallowed the cheese and floated up to his chosen eyes.

"Ok kid gimme some more cheese and I'll hear you out", the little cat snickered.

"Fine plagg but I'm serious I need some advice", his Kwami floated back a little and nodded for him to keep going.

" I think I love Marinette"
