It was a calm evening. The roofs of Paris receiving slight gusts of wind. Night colors perceiving on the yet orange sky. Near the seine, on top of a small balcony, stood a familiar black suited superhero. Eager to open the trapdoor at his feet, knowing he could only be the one allowed to enter from there.
Before opening, he got his head closer to the ground for him to hear and confirm his safe entrance to the room below. Light and quick taps where heard easily and no voice came out other than adorable giggles that he knew better than anyone.
Swiftly but quietly, he opened the trapdoor and jumped straight down. Head lowered, knees bent up, hands resting on the soft meatress he was standing on. A second after, he was looking straight ahead with a slight smirk on his face to the blue haired girl. Marinette was lying on her pillows, holding her cellphone in her right hand. She had jumped quite a bit for her own concern, even though she already knew what went by before her eyes just a pair of seconds ago. Chat noir received a same kind of grin he had given.
"You're early". Marinette complained, not sounding as such complain at all.
Still holding her phone in her hand, she laid her arm on her legs. "Princess, you know all you have to do is say the word and I'll go and come back later". Chat couldn't resist giving a little tease first. "Even if I'd told you so, you wouldn't be leaving that easily". "Meowch. Princess. You wound me. I wouldn't disobey your commands. Perhaps all you want is to carry on with your funny little conversation". He got back at it again with the tease, this time interfering by wanting to take the cellphone from her hand with his tail.
"I was just texting Alya, silly kitty". Grabbing the cellphone with her other hand, she took it farther from his tail. "She was asking what was going on with you at school today,". Chat noir couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, recalling today's petit event.

"Marinette Dupain-Cheng"
"Marinette Dupain-Cheng...Agreste"
That name sounded so terribly fitting. So accommodating. So precious to Adrien's ears. Or thoughts more like.
He couldn't stop thinking of this amazing girl sitting just behind him. And her pretty, oh so beautiful name. Impatient for the day in which she would own his name, too. At least, that's what he desires and hopefully she does, too, he thought.
Mrs. Bustier started taking attendance. He already is aware of his name coming first, even when his mind is somewhat thinking about something else.
"Dupain-Cheng, Marinette"
"Dupain-Cheng Agreste, Marinette"
Both Mrs. Bustier and Adrien get in sync Marinette's last name, but the class could clearly hear how he had finished her name. Oh no, of course it wasn't Adrien's intention to say what he had just said, out loud. It sounded profoundly beautiful. But heck, not at this time of the day. No. It just sounded beautiful at any time and even heard from other people's voices. But not when all the class had heard. What was he to do. Nothing, but to start hearing little laughs here and there from his classmates and a little quiet chatting from others. At least from most of them.
Just at the moment Marinette thought of hearing Adrien, she clearly heard her own name slightly a bit different from how it always sounded. She face palmed in her thoughts. This chaton is searching for it. She feels a shake coming from her left shoulder. "Girl, you heard what everyone just heard, didn't you?" Her friend Alya tried to whisper to her, as if trying not to sound to loud for the guys sitting in front of them. Marinette wouldn't act too shocked or too calm. Adrien on the other hand, was trying to hide his face from everyone. But heck, even his neck was visibly almost as red as Nathanael's hair.
"I'm sorry, Marinette" Was the only thing that could escape his lips as he tried to face her. She gestured an "it's fine" by raising her hand up and mimicking the words. Honestly, from her view, he looked so amazingly adorable, with his cute red and inflated cheeks. He wasn't shy in looking straight at her. He still wanted to see her reaction. But did he felt more ashamed now.
They had agreed to remain their friendship as the somewhat distant-but-close friendship. At least while at school. Maybe glances there and now wouldn't be that much, but this. Adrien messed up and did he see her princess a little bit annoyed by his silly little scene. He hadn't even say it so loud. It was close to a whisper. Maybe that was how he heard it.

With the memory in his mind, Chat felt so ashamed that his kitty ears bent down, showing his embarrassment even more.
"I'm sorry M-My Lady. Marinette". He really does feel sorry for it.
While his cat ears still down and his body moving a little further away to sit, Marinette, leaving the phone to the side, tried to reach him out by going on one knee and leaning towards Chat.
"Chaton. It's fine. You were already told. It's not like you just spread to the whole class that we are dating". She placed her hands on both his hands resting on the bed, which were cat-posed.
"Besides,". Grabbed by his bell, well-known as his zipper as well, she pulled him to her, slowly but anxious. "I don't think there's a problem in our friends getting hints already that we both love each other. Perhaps they'll see Ladybug and Chatnoir as more than friends at first. Maybe some time later, they can see Marinette and Adrien together, hmm?"
The pulling to her had caused him to lay in Mari's tummy. She was lying again on her pillows and Chat had felt encouraged again, and felt himself burying his face right there.
"De-transform, Adrien".
Command heard. Kitty obeying.
A little black flying creature flying away from the two love birds in search of that other creature, only red color. A groan could be heard by that little black one.
"May I ask why tho, purrincess?
"Hah. Actually trying to avoid more puns for today but I guess I'm super wrong thinking you'll behave better while being like this". Marinette tried to keep her cool. "Is that so, My Lady?" Now he just wanted to start the teasing again. He stretched up to her face, real close to it but enough for him to go immediately to her neck and resting his head on her left shoulder.
She finally blushed.
"N-no. Not really. I-wanted to feel your own warmth. Instead". She could barely speak. Her nervousness was a lot to take in.
"So, how come you're getting cold now? You're shivering, Marinette". His mouth reaching sensitive skin on her neck. Teasing.
Her name coming out from his mouth only gives more shivering. Shivering that Adrien takes not because of cold. He goes on his knees, reaches her upper arms with his hands on each side. He speaks near her ear, but not facing her way. "Relax, Mari..." The girl feels like melting and turning into butter now. She instinctively, only by hearing his heartwarming voice, relaxes all of her being and lets Adrien grab her gently as he does. He sits on her and bravely starts giving kisses to her hair. Caressing her hair, tugging her hair, rubbing and snuggling into her hair. He enjoys breathing onto it. He freaking loves smelling her hair. He breathes, smells, taking it deep and long, and then breathes out, giving small moans of how comforting this is.
Marinette is traveling across heaven. She just doesn't know what hit her, and suddenly jumps and eeked by a digital sound. Alya is still messaging the girl and she just left her waiting. For almost past an hour and a half.
She quickly sits correctly, leaving a confused and dreamy eyes Adrien. "Uuuugh. Alyaaa. I'm sorry,". She gave a small look to Adrien and continued to type. "there was a cat in here. I left the trapdoor a bit opened and it probably smelled some bread. It wouldn't leave.". She continued messaging with Alya, avoiding eye contact with Adrien.
"Yeah...a stray cat". Oh, he only could think how much of a good liar this princess was. Wait, what. "Stray cat, princess?" She only could stare at him, with her hand in her mouth trying to keep her giggling silence.
-"Alya. Imma go sleep now. Ttyt, kay?"
-"Marinette! Girl! I can't believe you're not fangirling all over about what Adrien did in class! Girl you better tomorrow"
-"I will! He was too adorable! I can't believe it!
Marinette left her phone on hold and placed it a little farther this time.
Adrien had sit besides Marinette, waiting for her to finish. Didn't took too long when she came back to pull him to the bed with her. Both stared at one another, smiling. Adrien raised his left hand, reaching the back of her head, by her hair. Her hands resting on his chest.
"I love you. And your hair". He admitted. Hand caressing and playing slowly with her hair.
She chuckled. "I love you. And your bad puns".
"I was pawsitive you digged them".
"Don't push it, you stray cat". She rolled her eyes and gestured a tiny and soft slap on his cheek.
"M-Marinette..."
She heard his voiced changed tone.
"Yes, Adrien?" Curiously
"Do you like it?"
"Like what?" Not following.
"How the name sounds?"
She chuckled again. "Adrien Agreste Dupain-Cheng. I have thought about all the promising names. Maybe even first than you have".
His overjoy was showing as he took Marinette into an embrace to spin her, at least side to side on the bed.
