Hey! If you came from my RP blog. Welcome! Please don't read the other fanfics on here they hurt my soul. But anyway I decided to have some stupid fun a write again. Here ya go!
DISCLAIMER: I DONT OWN
This had all started weirdly for her. "Now pass your papers up." The teacher clapped her hands, a pretty smile on her face.
Marinette looked up in shock before quickly finishing what words she wanted to put down on the in-class essay. She spent too much time thinking about the prompt than actually writing it, with a sigh she handed it to Adrien as he turned to grab the rest of the papers she had to pass down. He took a quick look over her paper.
"Chat Noir? Fan?" he asked her a model smile gleaming up at her. Marinette felt herself melt. He truly was a beauty.
"Um… I mean… A little… he's nice and all, a little too flirty for me but he has his quirks." She twirled one of her pigtails around her finger absently, hands shaking. He hummed at her answer turning back to listen to the teacher.
Weird. She thought.
A few hours later she was at home snuggled in a blanket on her computer chair. Scrolling through the Ladyblog absentmindedly. Having no real reason to be on but to kill time, homework forgotten on her table she didn't have the energy or patience to complete it. Tikki sat snuggled at her neck in the blanket watching over her shoulder. The two having fallen into this routine too tired from the influx of Akuma.
While on the other hand Adrien seemed to be replaying the conversation from earlier in his mind finding it odd how she described him… compared to how she treated him as Chat during the Evillstrator incident. Why did she seem so closed up too both of them, even if she seemed more open to Chat than with Adrien? Did he intimidate her?
He hoped not wanting to become better friends with the girl having seen her in action taking lead of the class. She seemed so much like his Lady it was a little weird. This thought stopped him in his tracks dropping the pencil and watching it role to the floor in silence.
What if Marinette was Ladybug? Ladybug was in the same class as him, he remembered when Ladybug dropped the history text book. He was going to investigate this.
Marinette had just come back up from dinner and settled back in the chair when she heard a knock at her hatch door that lead to her terrace. Who? Sighing she pulled the blanket tighter around her shoulder stepping out in the cold night air. When it hit her bare legs she shivered, in nothing but shorts and a lose t-shirt she felt kind of exposed.
"Hello Purr-incess." She shivered as the not-so-mysterious person purred next to her ear. A little squeak escaped her as she hit his chest with the flat of her palm. Not so much as making him wince he laughed at her tiny attempt.
"What do I owe the pleasure?" she didn't try to give him a pleasing smile to displeased at him for scarring her. He shrugged leaning back on the railing.
"Can't a knight check up on his princess every now and then?"
"No."
He made a mock hurt face hand lightly over his chest as he leaned closer to her.
"Cold, princess. Just cold." He wiped a fake tear from his eyes. Laughing at her pouting face. At times like this he could see Ladybug in her but he still wasn't 100% sure about his hunch. She tied the top of the fuzzy blanket to secure it around it her shoulders.
"Is there a problem that you need help with oh great knight." She watched him questioningly trying to find the fault that brought him here to her tonight. He smiled, a genuine smile. One she only ever saw as Ladybug when she caught him staring at her. Her cheeks flushed, thankful that the sun had started to set.
"Just felt the need to see how you were." He shrugged at this turning slightly to watch the horizon for any sign of Ladybug. Marinette felt the underlining tone of sadness in his answer but didn't press the matter. Adrien felt as if he was just hit with a wall of more questions and doubts. Maybe he was wrong. She didn't seem like Ladybug. Sure they were both strong willed but Ladybug seemed like the type to have confidence in everything she did. Marinette could barely utter a sentence with him in the room.
He felt at a loss. Marinette excused herself for just a moment going back in to grab socks for her freezing toes, and a tin of cookies she kept on hand for when she was too tired to go get fresh ones for Tikki. She was sure her little kwami wouldn't mind sharing a few. Opening the lid she held the cookies out for him silent in her asking.
"Take some I don't mind." She mistook his hesitation for fear of not wanting to take her food, in all reality he was surprised she wanted to share with him. Taking a sugar cookie from the top he bit in a few crumbs falling onto the ground. His eyes lit up in joy.
"Did you make these!?" it was muffled by the food in his mouth but she heard him clearly. Giggling, Marinette wiped a few crumbs from his cheek.
"Glad you like them." She let him grab a few more. Looking up at stars she had to suspect that it was well past time for them to meet up for patrol.
"Ladybug's probably getting a little upset. You're late for patrol." He was startled out of his cookie chewing to this statement. Swallowing her gave her a sheepish smile.
"Seems like it… I'm glad we had time to chat Princess but I must be off my Lady awaits." He 'pretended' to be sad at his departure from what it looked like to her. He really didn't want to go but knew it was a part of the job to watch out for the city. Marinette waved goodbye to one of Paris' masked hero's. Feeling better about the whole situation. Glad that he decided to seek her out for company.
