"Stay here, Princess. I need to know your safe." He said, carefully placing her on her balcony.
"Of course, Kitty."
He smiled, placed a kiss on her forehead, and left, to go defeat the akuma.
She just rolled her eyes, and then called out "Tikki, spots on!", and left to go help.
"Miraculous Ladybug!" She called out, watching the little ladybug's fix all the damage caused by the akuma.
"Pound it!"
She bumped her fist with Chat Noir.
"If you wouldn't mind, M'lady, I-"
"Hey Chat? There's something really important I have to do before I detransform? Do you mind helping him out?"
"Of course."
She smiled at him gratefully, before swinging away.
Only...
She didn't make it all the way, before her transformation ran out.
"Ugh, Tikki! Chat's gonna kill me!"
But then her friend zipped away.
"Tikki! What-"
"Marinette!?!"
She flinched, before turning around.
She gave him a sheepish smile.
"Hey, Kitty."
She really didn't like that frown on his face.
He just picked her up, and the next thing she knew, they were on her balcony.
They entered the room, just as he detransformed.
"Why were you out there?"
"Huh?"
"You promised me you'd stay here."
"I know, but-"
"Then why didn't you stay here?"
"You were literally flung across-"
"I know what happened, but I asked you to stay here."
"But, Adrien, I couldn't just stand here while you got hurt. I had to do something."
He sighed, before walking up to her.
"Mari," He whispered, hand cupping her cheek "I understand, but I need to know your safe,when an akuma attacks, so that I can do my best out there, my job. I can't do that, if I'm to busy worrying about you."
She pouted.
"But Kitty."
He held his straight face.
She jutted her lip out.
He started to crack, she could see it.
"Please?"
Because honestly, it was really annoying to be on the scene, be brought home, have to go back, and then come home again before he got back.
"I... Guess I could be persuaded."
She smiled, before leaning in.
But right before their lips touched, screaming could be heard outside.
"Ahhhh!"
He flinched, before pulling away.
"This knight has a job to do."
He transformed.
"Pleeeeeeeeease, Kitty."
She blinked her eyes over-dramatically.
"Okay. Just please stay out of danger. I don't want to see you get hurt... And after, I suppose we should finish what we were about to start." He muttered the last part, "Before we were rudely interrupted."
She laughed, before hopping on his back, and they left.
Sure, one day she'll tell him the truth, but for now?
She liked the way things were, and she wouldn't change what they had, for the world.
