When Nino said he had three tickets to the most prestigious fashion event in all of Paris, Marienette practically died. He was DJing for the event, allowing him to get two extra guests alongside him. Naturally, he took his wife Alya who then invited her friend, you guessed it, Marienette. The three of them were super excited, who wouldn't be?

Alya could get some inside scoops, Nino further his career and Marienette could get some ties in the fashion industry. Maybe she could even achieve higher than the third floor in the Agreste company. Even though she had worked there for three years, Mari was still nothing more than the girl that sorted out the numbers, not quite the designing dream she had in school.

Of course, Mari was making Alya's and her own outfits for the event. Who wouldn't wear their own designs to an event where their idols would be? That's right, Adrien and Gabriel Agreste would be at the show- as expected, they were at every event of the season worth their time. The thought of seeing them both made the girl squeal in excitement.

On the day of the event, Marienette could hardly contain herself. She kept bouncing in her chair at work, barely doing anything. However, no one noticed her happiness- as they too were consumed with the event. Different designers and makeup artists were running around in a frenzy. It was good entertainment to watch a man with eccentric brown hair scream out 'where is the maroon? Dammit Tikki! I told you to get the maroon!'.

Said woman huffed and chucked the maroon fabric at the man. Mari giggled as the guy stumbled backwards into the elevator and left. With a deep breath, Tikki headed over to the ravenette, miming the act of strangling someone. The two women laughed.

Tikki had light red hair that was straightened down to the bottom of her back. It covered one of her bright blue eyes. Her skin was pale, but it only made her light freckles more visible. She was sarcastic and snappy, if you were on her bad side. If you were on the greener grass, she would literally bite someone for you. No seriously, some guy from floor seven once insulted Marienette and left with teeth marks and his shoulder.

"What's got you so happy Meow?" Asked Tikki, picking at the skin on her fingers.

Mari had gained the name 'Meow' from her obsession with feline creatures. Everyday, she would wear a cat pin or something else Meow themed. It became an office bet as to whoever would find Marienette's cat accessory, The would ultimately win five euros. However, soon after the amount was reduced due to the sheer number of accessories the blue haired woman actually owned.

"I'm going to the Top Fashion Spring Show!" Marienette excitedly exclaimed, jumping up from her chair.

Tikki's eyes zoomed into Mari's nose," A cat nose piercing? Jeez you were distracted today,"

"Ah don't make the announcement, Harriet already spotted it,"

Tikki sighed," Dammit! It is the busiest shift as well- the most money,"

The two women laughed, Tikki waved off before leaving to her desk- awaiting the man from earlier to come back screaming for another colour. The words 'living a fashion dream' escaped the red haired woman s lips as said man came running back into the room-with an even more of a red race than before. 'Tikki! It was a dark maroon, not a mid-tone!'.

Mari looked away from the scene and checked the clock, it was half ten. She had only been there for thirty minutes, it was going to be a long day. On the plus side, she was going to advance so far in Kupkake Krush (yes a parody of Candy Crush)

One of the many perks of working in Agreste for Marienette was a perk that only applied to her. You see, every day she received a letter from a secret admirer. Most of which included atrocious cat puns but she had grown to love them. Each little note she kept inside her top drawer to bring happiness on a dull day.

Today was no different, Mari rushed to her desk to look for the letter. There it was, in plain sight, with her name and a paw print in near writing. Tenderly she opened the envelope and peered inside. It started just as it usually did:

Dear princess

A little birdie told me you are going to be st the best event in Paris. I'm pawsitivley sure that you will adore it. I would say dress beautifully but you always look purrfect. You are the cat's meow.

I love you as much as the sun loves the day. Which is a lot if you didn't know. You are more magnificent than the stars in the sky. I hope you love me as I do you, I would give you a rose but it would do no justice to your beauty.

Maybe you will finally meet this alley cat? I hope so...

From, yours and only yours, Chat Noir

Mari tucked the letter delicately into the top drawer and sighed dreamily. Her smile soon dropped as she realised she was more excited than before! Maybe she would finally kiss the man behind the mask. It was her dream because even though she hadn't met him, Marienette felt like she knew Chat Noir like she did her best friend Alya.

Chat loved green and black, adored anything and would die for science. But he hated photo shoots (he had them apparently), lack of sweets and Wednesdays- 'my princess I hate these for they are the middle of another week where I can't hold you'. His other reason was that the workload was more, Mari could sympathise.

The day went slowly by, every half an hour Mari would check the clock. She even thought the worlds were laughing at her at one point. Patience wasn't Marienette strong point, nor was it Tikki's or the receptionists Harriet. So the three women got onto their chairs and bought out a tin foil ball. A bin was put on their desks and the aim was to get the ball in someone else's bin. By the end of the game, bought to a grinding halt when Gabriel himself walked in, the whole office had joined in- the point tally being quite high.

Gabriel looked at his employees with a quirked eyebrow," Who was the leader of this?

Marienette reluctantly stepped from behind the desk. Only then did she spot who was behind her boss. Adrien Agreste flicked his blonde hair, staring at her with an emotion she had never seen before. It must be a judgemental look the rich have, she deemed.

"Well Miss Dupain Cheng I expected better from you, especially on a day like today!" Gabriel ordered," That does it- you are fired!"

Everyone in the office went still, Marienette forced her tears to stay down and went to her desk. Her first instinct was to gather all of her Chat letters. She read each one, it slowly lifted her mood. Now she would never meet her secret admirer. When she looked up, Adrien seemed to have a mix of sadness and pride. What did he have to be proud of? His dad just fired someone who was trying to have fun.

Once everything was packed up, Mari said her goodbyes. Harriet and Tikki promised to stay in touch- the three met up regularly. With one last glance at Agreste she continued down the road. Her hopes of meeting Chat had been shattered, the realisation finally hit her so that was the reason she cried. She didn't care about Agreste- she could start up her own shop. But her Chaton may never be able to find her, and that upset her very much.

So the party rolled around and Marienette was happy. She was as happy as she could be considering the days events. Her outfit was a sleek red dress that puffed out into a fishtail at the bottom. It was made of right satin so it highlighted her curves and had a slight opening near her chest (complimented with black criss-cross patterns). Altogether, with her makeup and hair, the look was well pulled off.

Alya's dress was exactly the same except orange and white. Just in case, Mari made herself a ladybug mask and Alya a fox one. The two women met up with Nino, who had donned on an orange tie to match his wife's attire, in the lobby of the ravenette's apartment block.

It wasn't too nice, it wasn't too bad. It was her home and she loved it none the less. Maybe it wasn't big, it definetly wasn't small. Cosy but not cramped. Stylish but not overdecorated. Quiet but not lonesome. Home.

The three adults got into a taxi and drove to the event. Nino said they had to enter through the back so the paparazzi avoided them. Of course, the women didn't mind as long as they got inside. Every bone in Marienette's body was tingling as they set on their way, it was a mix of nerves and excitement.

Bright lights and flashing cameras were loitered all around the building. So much for getting in unnoticed. Nino explained that being the DJ meant some fame in the music industry, so some paparazzi might want to talk to him. Alya nodded and kissed her husbands cheek.

When Nino said some, he should have said many. A lot of reporters called his name and asked him questions (others even interviewed Alya). Naturally, Marienette was ignored, she walked into the building and was allowed in by the bouncer. She was sure Nino and Alya would find her once they escaped.

Silently, she crept through the hallways and into the main ball area. So many outfits and dresses, each one shocked her more than the last. None of this healed the pain of what her Chat Noir letter said today.

A tap on the shoulder bought her out of her thoughts," Alya I'm glad you and Nin- Who are you?"

The man in front of her had brown hair tied into a ponytail. His eyes were a murky and predatory green. Marienette looked at his face, he was looking at her like she was dirt on a shoe. The suit he was wearing was neatly pressed and made of a material she could only dream of touching/

"What is your name?" He asked.

Mari put her glass down on the table next to her," Marienette Dupain Cheng, why?"

"Oh you are the girl who got fired from Agreste today," He mumbled, looking her up and down," I can see why?"

"Excuse me!" Mari growled," How dare you? Who even are you?"

"Who am I? Who are you? Don't you see darling, you don't belong here," He continued," Look around- the expensive material over this cheap satin you probably had to sell yourself to get. My advice, leave before you are embarrassed by someone who is higher than me- which is quite hard to find. I don't know how you got in here but I know how you can leave,"

Marienette felt her body tremble lightly at his words. She wouldn't ever sell herself, it made her physically sick to think of such a thing. The man had a triumphant look on his face as she felt the sadness creep over hers. The music slowed, the whole room did.

It all happened in a blur, a blonde-haired boy pushed the man against a wall. Mari didn't look up as she didn't feel like she deserved to. The music did actually stop as the men fought. A small crowd of disapproving glances came their way until a bouncer escorted the three of them out.

That's when Marienette got a proper look at her saviour. He was wearing a black suit with a mask. Her hands dropped to her sides when she saw the cat ears on his ears. The eyes he owned were a vibrant green.

"Okay I don't know what went on here but I think you three should sort it out before coming back inside," The bouncer informed, heading back to his post.

"I don't get why you are protecting that commoner," The man who insulted Marienette spat," She really doesn't belong here,"

The Cat-Man went to attack him again but the ravenette grabbed his arm. He seemed to lean into her touch. She shook her head when he looked at her with a pleading look. All the muscles in both of their bodies relaxed.

"Whatever I'm going back inside," The man said," Choose your crowd wisely,"

When he left, Mari finally broke down. All the things he had said to her was true, apart from selling herself of course. She really didn't belong here. The girl turned around and began to walk down the alleyway. She would text Alya and Nino about her change of plans.

"Where are you going?" Her hero shouted, running up to her.

With a sigh, Marienette looked up at him," He was right, I don't belong here,"

"Don't ever say that," He said," Princess,"

Time froze in that moment, she felt herself go limp as she fell against him. Marienette had found him, her Chat Noir. By the smile on his face, he was happy about her revelation. She could finally find out who was behind the mask and be happy with him.

Marienette gave him a hug, feeling that if she let go he would disappear. It seemed that he thought the same from the way he held her. The two had found each other and the thought of being apart could tare their hearts.

"Please come back in and enjoy the party with me," Chat begged.

"Okay- just don't let that man come anywhere near me," Mari pleaded.

Chat held her cheek, showing her a Cheshire smile," I wouldn't dream of it,"

The night was extremely fun. Chat and Marienette danced and ran around the estate throughout the event. People would cast them strange looks but they didn't care, they had each other. If that man from earlier came anywhere near them, Chat would pick up Mari and run off with her. But of course, all good things must come to an end. As people started leaving, Mari and Chat went into an alley.

"Come back to mine tonight," Chat pleaded," I don't ever want to be without you,"

Mari connected their lips in her agreement. Chat called a taxi and they got in. As it drove through the streets of Paris, she slowly fell into a daze just by looking at her love. He was exactly the same. His fear of showing who he was came back but he shut it down, for now he was Chat Noir- and his princess was in front of him.

After they got out of the taxi, every else was a daze. The arrival inside the Agreste mansion, the running up the stairs in a childlike manner and the dive under the sheets for a night neither would forget. Marienette didn't really take in her surroundings until the next morning.

She slowly opened her eyes, the man next to her caused her to fall out of bed. Last night she had slept with her Chat Noir, who also turned out to be someone she didn't expect.

With a quick glace around, she realised where she was. The massive windows revealed a view that could only be had from one place, the Agreste mansion.

Her eyes landed back on the bed, a blonde haired boy stirred and opened his vibrant green eyes.

Adrien Agreste stared back at her.

Adrien Agreste, the man whose father fired her for having fun.

Adrien Agreste, her Chat Noir.

First chapter out- a lot of drama will happen in this. I have another story about a child but I think this one will be better as it focuses on Adrien and Marienette's relationship.

By the way, pre warning this bit won't lead to a relationship yet.

Question, how do you think Marienette will react to this? I already have a plan but what do you guys think?
