Tell me where in the rules it says Noir.
Chapter One: You're Injured, Please Stay the Night. Please.
How Marinette ended up in this situation, she didn't know. I mean, how often does the fiercest akuma created land on your balcony begging for your help?
And not just any akuma, but an akuma you've come to hate?
She thought she was supposed to be good luck.
Sighing, she finished washing the blood out of one of her towels and put away her first aid kit.
"Princess?" Chat Blanc called her softly, curled in a ball on her chaise.
For a maniac, he sounded pretty helpless.
"I'm going, Chat Blanc." She replied, a bitter distaste in her voice.
Despite her hatred, when she saw Chat looking at her with a pathetic look in his glowing magenta eyes and his pure white ears flattened, she couldn't help but pity him.
Only a tiny bit.
"Can...Can I have some water?" He requested, curling in on himself further.
She left the room without a word and quickly came back with two full glasses of water. With a grunt, he sat up and opened his trembling hand to get the glass she was offering him. Before he could grab it though, she "accidentally" spilled the contents on him. He hissed as he jumped back a bit, shaking the water off his head before stopping because of the sharp sting it caused. Looking up he saw that Marinette was wearing an expressionless face, offering him the other light pink glass. Eyes widening, he scooted back more, away from her.
"I won't spill this one on you." She reassured, voice and face still blank.
Hesitantly, he took the drink. Once in his hands, he downed the whole thing in one gulp.
"Anything else?"
Fear in his eyes, he meekly shook his head.
Marinette turned and went to her desk, sitting down and pulling out her sketchbook to draw some dresses.
Chat Blanc laid back down, watching her as she worked. He found the sounds of the pencil lightly brushing the paper calming, soon shutting his eyes to drift off to sleep.
"Don't get comfortable."
He woke from his light sleep with a start, greeted by Marinette's annoyed face right in front of his.
"What?"
"You heard me. You've been here for an hour, leave."
"You're supposed to ask me to stay, Princess." He offered a hopeful smile.
"No."
Chat Blanc blinked in confusion, eyebrows furrowing. She was always nice and told him to spend the night when he'd been hurt before. Heck, she used to cry sometimes.
Why was she mad now?
"Please? I really can't-"
"No."
"I don't have-"
"No."
"But, Princess, I-"
"I said, no."
"I'm homeless!" He cried out desperately, "Please...Just one night…please, Princess."
Marinette simply stared at him, blinking.
"If that's the case, where have you been staying while you wreaked havoc over the city?" She finally spat, eyebrow raised and arms crossed.
"Abandoned buildings." He winced, "Lots of dust and mice...I-I'll go back tomorrow morning I swear. Please, just one night."
With a huff, Marinette stood to get a blanket and pillow. Lifting his head roughly, she shoved the fluffy pillow under him and threw the soft pink blanket over him.
"'Night." She growled, climbing up the steps to her bed.
"Than-mph!" Chat Blanc was interrupted by a light brown teddy bear being chucked at his face. Chuckling softly he took the plush off his face, he examined the bear in question. It was obviously well loved, some messy stitching closing a couple rips and some fur matted in certain spots. It had a shiny baby pink ribbon around its neck.
Beaming, Chat Blanc nuzzled it and soon fell asleep.
...
Marinette awoke again at four in the morning.
Stumbling down the stairs, she walked to the bathroom to relieve herself.
And to get the first aid kit.
Tiptoeing, she approached Chat and kneeled down next to him. After removing the blanket she gingerly untied the bandages on his chest, arms, and face.
She winced at the bloody gash on his chest. It wasn't worse than when he came in for sure, but it was still bad. The slices on his arms weren't much better.
Despite herself, she couldn't help but admire his peaceful face. Asleep, he looked like he always did. The cute little kitty she knew and loved.
Now?
He held a wild look in his magenta eyes and his hair was now tangled and messy. The white of his suit was so unfamiliar, it made her uncomfortable. Of course, what she hated the most was the deeds he did. He'd destroyed signs, cars, even some buildings, cornered some civilians and beat them in alleyways.
While Chat Blanc had yet to kill anyone, the city was terrified by him.
Ladybug hadn't faced him yet.
She'd chased after him several times, but he always fled.
And she didn't know why.
With a shaky breath she lightly brushed the cotton swabs on him to clean it up a bit more. He squirmed and jerked his knee up, almost smashing her face. Squeaking, she dodged him before shoving him back. Though he continued to unintentionally attack her she continued to clean. Chat out a whine every few seconds, but she didn't stop.
Once finished, she tied the fresh bandages around his torso and limbs, making sure they were tight, but still able to breathe.
It wasn't until she was working on the wound on his head that his eyes fluttered open.
"Princess?"
"Get back to sleep, you won't be on a mattress again anytime soon."
"No? Will you deny me if I come back someday?"
"With no hesitation."
Chat's white ears flattened against his golden blonde hair as he looked down a bit guiltily. Ignoring the slight pang in her chest, Marinette continued her work without casting him a glance. He soon fell back asleep, frown still on his face.
A few minutes later she was done and went to put the kit away. Upon returning to her room, she sighed at the sad look on his sleeping face.
Marinette walked closer and stood watching him breathe for a bit.
Then, she leaned down and kissed his cheek.
Almost magically, his expression relaxed and he pulled the teddy bear closer to him.
With that, she went back to bed and fell back asleep.
...
When Marinette awoke the next morning, Chat Blanc was gone and her plush was in her hands.
