Hi everyone!

This idea kind of just hit me and I thought it was the perfect excuse for LadyNoir cuteness. Twoshot because why have only one chapter of fluff when you can have two? ;)

Disclaimer: There's a higher likelihood of me actually being Marinette than owning anything so no.

"Alya, I have a surprise for you!" Marinette trilled as she bounced into the classroom, ponytails swishing, "Voila! Your favourite mini cake from the bakery!" She plonked a neatly wrapped box in front of the bespectacled girl who remained slumped at her desk.

Alya mumbled a 'Thank you' without moving much and Marinette sighed, her blue eyes filling with worry for her friend. It had been three days since Alya's mother had been admitted to hospital with a high fever and though her condition had stabilised, Alya had remained stressed and anxious. Feeling helpless, Marinette gave Alya a tight hug which produced a tiny smile from her usually upbeat and high spirited friend.

"Ay, don't worry about me, Mari! I'm just a little blue still but I'll be okay!" Alya straightened as she reassured Marinette and before Marinette could reply, class started.

All throughout class, Marinette could barely even focus on Adrien's wavy blonde hair (her usual point of focus in 50% of classes) as she bit her lip trying to figure out how to cheer Alya up. That was when it hit her.

Marinette couldn't cheer Alya up but maybe Ladybug could! She had been tapping her pen against her notebook as she thought and now the tapping increased in speed as a smile spread across her lips. Sure, she had given exclusive interviews to Alya as Ladybug, she'd even managed to sneakily direct Chat Noir in Alya's direction a couple of times so that she could ask him some questions...

But this called for an exclusive and she cringed slightly thinking about exactly what she was planning. Alya's latest obsession wasn't with Ladybug or Chat Noir, it was with LadyNoir.

Adrien's heart was racing, not because he was jumping from rooftop to rooftop at top speed, but because his Lady had called him. She had called him. This was unprecedented, he grinned, that she had contacted him when there were no evil akumas to dispense of had piqued his curiosity beyond the amounts that would normally have killed a cat.

As he landed behind her, he leaned against a pillar, languidly swishing his tail as he called, "You rang, My Lady?" She spun around and flashed a relieved smile at him that did things to his heart but his signature smirk never wavered, "Did you miss me, Buginette?"

Marinette rolled her eyes and took a deep breath, "Ah well, actually, it's sort of like this. There's a kind of situation... um, and I don't want to make you feel like you're obligated to... ah..." She refused to make eye contact with him as she stumbled along and tried to figure out a way to say this without feeling like she was putting Chat Noir in a spot.

Adrien, on the other hand, was getting worried, concern furrowing his brow as he abandoned all attempts to look cool and took a step closer to her. She had never been like this around him before, was something wrong?

"Easy, Buginette, what's wrong?" His voice came out close to a purr, low and soothing which worked as she finally brought her lovely blue eyes to meet his.

"Remember Alya? The blogger who runs the Ladyblog? Well I found out that her mother's in hospital and she's been pretty down. I was thinking we should do something to cheer her up." Marinette blurted out and quickly added, "She's been one of our biggest supporters, I feel bad."

Adrien watched her carefully as he relaxed, she was the kindest person he knew, of course she would want to cheer up a big fan. But why was she so nervous? In fact, the way she wrung her hands in distress almost reminded him of Marinette from school when she was trying to talk to him. Adrien smiled inwardly, if only his Ladybug got that flustered by him!

Except... Now she was. She was looking at him anxiously to see his reaction to her idea, and he shot a relaxed grin at her, "Of course, a paw-some idea, My Lady." She looked surprised, her lips forming an 'O' as she stared at him.

"Really?" She glanced at him suspiciously. She had prepared an entire story about how she had bumped into Alya's best friend on the street who had pleaded with her to help but apparently Chat Noir required no convincing.

"Sure, I think she's a nice girl and I'd do anything to spend more time with you, Bug," He dropped a friendly arm over her shoulders and inhaled her scent. Mm... Seabreeze and freshly baked bread. She always smelled good even after they had fought a villain, he wondered if smelling nice was part of her powers and nearly didn't catch what she said next.

"Well, we've given her some interviews but I was thinking maybe something that we haven't done before would really cheer her up. Alya's very into LadyNoir right now." Marinette said in a rush before pulling away from Chat Noir and looking intently at him for an indication of what he thought.

Adrien was stunned. Was his Lady suggesting that they act as a couple? Suppressing the urge to do a victory dance, he thought about what she had said and chuckled as blog titles such as '10 ways LadyNoir is totally a thing' and 'Why Ladybug will eventually succumb to Chat Noir's irresistible charm' popped into his head.

Ladybug, who was clearly remembering the same blog posts, flushed and closed her eyes.

"Why, My Ladybug, I didn't know you cared," Adrien moved his face until it was inches from hers, "An purr-fect idea, I must say. What's the plan?" Her eyes popped open, the startling blue against the red of her mask taking his breath away as she took a step back, her blush fading. She had freckles, he'd never noticed that before, Adrien thought as he tried to remember how to breathe.

However, her hurried step back had thrown her off balance and her arms wheeled, trying to make sure she didn't go over the edge of the building that they were on when she felt a strong arm snake around her waist. "Aw, Bug, I'm flattered, but there's no need to fall for me." He teased as he hauled her up, his arm lingering on her waist just a fraction more than necessary as he regarded her with an affectionate gaze.

"Don't get any ideas, Chaton," She remarked, her voice sliding back into the usual comfortable tone she had with him, "But I think I know what we can do."

The Following Day...

The moment the bell rang, Marinette leapt out of her seat and hugged Alya goodbye. She had made an excuse about being needed at the bakery earlier and so quickly rushed off to transform, nearly colliding with Adrien at the door.

Marinette was in a hurry but not so much of a hurry that she didn't stop to stammer out apologies at Adrien and marvel at the feel of his shoulder against hers. Oh my god, I touched shoulders with Adrien! She thought giddily as she continued toward a secluded classroom.

Moments later, she found Chat Noir sitting on the school roof, gazing out at the students leaving the school. The moment he heard her, his entire being seemed to light up as he grinned unabashedly, "My Lady! Ready to finally give in to my purr-suasive charms?"

He had expected her to shoot him a wry smile and tell him to focus. Instead, a slow, sly smile appeared on her lips as she practically sashayed over to him, her bluebell eyes never for a moment leaving his. He gulped, suddenly unsure of what to do, his heart began pounding again. Did she know she did this to him? Wiped out any intelligible thought until his entire mind was filled with nothing but her and the endless depths of blue her eyes held?

Marinette giggled inwardly and leaned in so close to Chat Noir, she could swear she heard him gulp and his eyes widened. "The question, my dear Chaton, is are you ready to pretend I'm the only girl for you?"

The question, my dear reader, is how badly do you want the next chapter? Muahahaha, but okay don't worry, it's in the works and it'll be ready soon!

Thank you for reading! Lemme know what you think or what you liked, I would love to hear from you!
