Disclaimer: I do not own Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug And Chat Noir

CHAPTER 1

Marinette sighed in frustration as she laid her head on the desk. Her kwami hovered around her, glancing at her notebook that contained ideas for a gift for Chat. Or at least, was supposed to. "No ideas yet?" Tikki asked. "Nope," Marinette replied, "and it's been an hour. What am I going to do, Tikki? Our anniversary is barely a week away!"

"I'm sure you'll think of something," Tikki consoled, "After all, you are an amazing designer."

"That's just it, Tikki… I don't want to give a traditional, store-bought, unoriginal gift for Chat. I mean, he is my special partner who helped me save Paris countless times. I want to give him something more meaningful, more… personal." She rambled off.

The one-year anniversary of the day when Ladybug and Chat Noir first saved Paris was around the corner, and Marinette had determined to make it a special day for Chat, even if he didn't remember. For her, it had been a special day- the day she overcame some of her fears (if not all) and had been able to prove her worth. That day she defeated Stoneheart, Marinette advanced a great step in quelling her lack of self-confidence and insecurity. As a result, she was more assertive and forthright, and was even able to stand up to Chloe.

"Don't worry Marinette," Tikki reassured, " It's just Sunday and there's a whole week! You have plenty of time to think of something. Besides, I'm sure whatever you come up with, Chat Noir will be sure to love it."

"I certainly hope so," Marinette giggled. "I don't think that that silly cat will even remember what day it is."

Meanwhile at Adrien's…

"Hey Plagg…..."

"Plagg, are you listening?…."

"PLAGG!"

The above-mentioned kwami looked up, annoyed, from his camembert to hear Adrien calling him. "Geez, can't I eat my camembert in peace without you disturbing me every five seconds?"

Adrien rolled his eyes. "Maybe if you would actually listen the first time I called you, I wouldn't have to disturb you while you're eating your precious cheese. How can you get so engrossed eating that you can't hear me call you? HEY!"

Plagg blinked at him lazily, back to eating his cheese. "Eh? You said something?"

Adrien facepalmed. "Nevermind, forget I said anything. Come over here, will you?"

Plagg zipped over. "What'cha got there? Ooooooh, a present! Let me guess, it's for Ladybug isn't it? What's the occasion?"

Adrien blushed. "It's our one year anniversary. You see….."

"Since when have you been in a relationship with her, huh? Huh?"

Adrien looked confused. "When did I say- oh," his eyes widened in realization. "You've got it all wrong! That's not what I meant. I only meant that the anniversary of the day we first met is coming up next week. You know, when we defeated Stoneheart."

Plagg's eyes widened in realisation. "…..oh. When you became Chat Noir for the first time and saved Paris. When," he added smugly, "you met an awesome kwami like me."

Adrien snorted. "Yeah right."

"Why am I not surprised that you'd remember that day? It's the day you met the love of your life, after all….. OUCH!" He puffed as Adrien threw a cushion at him. "WHAT? It's true!"

"It may be true-" Plagg's eyes narrowed sceptically, "Okay, okay, it IS true, but somehow I feel that you're making fun of me."

Plagg rolled his eyes. "Because I am? Okay, change of topic. What's in the present?"

Adrien rolled his eyes at him but decided to let it go. He turned to the bag and lifted out a box. Opening it, he carefully removed the packing, to reveal a very beautiful bracelet. He held it up for Plagg to see. "Think she'll like it?" he said nervously. "I mean, I don't really know what Ladybug likes or dislikes. Is it too much? What if she doesn't wear jewellery? Oh no," his eyes widened in horror as a thought struck him. "What if she doesn't accept it?"

Plagg flew up and inspected the bracelet. "Chill out. You're overthinking this. She's a girl after all. Which girl wouldn't love jewellery?"

"Um, a girl who doesn't like jewellery?"

Plagg facepalmed.
