Chat Noir shivered and hugged himself cursing the cold Parisian weather for coming so soon. He'd never liked the cold, the way it seemed into his bones or how it reminded him of his father.
He sighed and continued jumping from roof to roof, and he'd just started patrol.
It was going to be a long night.
A breeze made him shiver then freeze. The scent carried on the breeze was familiar. Chat shifted his weight as he considered the consequences of ditching patrol - at least for a little while.
He grinned and decided it wouldn't hurt to take a break. He quickly made a beeline for the Dupain-Cheng bakery, hoping to catch her before bed.
As he neared Chat's jaw hit the floor. Marinette was out on her balcony in only a thin t-shirt and pyjama shorts! He felt cold just looking at her. Chat nimbly snuck up behind the balcony and then whistled to get her attention.
At first a startled Marinette looked around before turning and seeing Chat up above her.
Hand on her hips she quickly threw out a retort.
"Don't you have better things to do Chat?" she asked as if she knew he should be on patrol.
Chat grinned always happy to see Marinette's sassy side, a side Adrien Agreste never saw.
"Princess, my job is to help damsels in distress," he purred, "and well seeing you dressed like that in this cold makes me think you need some kind of help."
Marinette rolled her eyes but smiled none the less. "Or you're distressed seeing me dressed like this because I'm making you cold. Which would make you the damsel in distress," she teased.
"Me-owch Princess, right in the pride," he said feigning hurt, hand dramatically clutching his heart.
Marinette laughed, flashing a genuine smile at him.
"One you're a guy so you naturally have a big ego, and two you're you so you have an even bigger ego than normal," she teased. Chat could only grin, god she was so quick witted and cheeky.
"But Princess, it's not a big ego if it's true," he said as he leapt down beside her.
Marinette was about to reply when a strong gust caused Chat to shudder. The sassy expression on Marinette's face was soon replaced by concern.
"Chat are you cold?" she asked with a frown. Chat straightened.
"Of course not Princess, it'd be unbecoming if a Knight was bothered by the mere cold," he reassured, despite the fact that he'd rather fight an akuma than be cold, "besides aren't you cold?"
Chat eyed her bare skin before flushing as he realized what he was doing. He cleared his throat.
"Oh I'm not cold, my mother used to live in the North of China, apparently it's really cold there and I guess I get it from her," Marinette said with a shrug.
Chat frowned pursing his lips.
"But Princess you could catch a cold!" He said.
Marinette giggled appreciating Chat's concern. But she was more worried about him, everything about his posture indicated he was cold, from the way he self consciously clutched himself to the light tremors in his muscles.
Stupid cat was too proud for his own good.
"Don't worry about me," Marinette insisted, "but Chat you're really not cold?"
Chat shook his head, if his Princess could tough it out in her night clothes than so could he, in a full body suit.
Marinette rolled her eyes once more reading his thoughts.
Stupid cat thought because she could be out in shorts and a tee during one of the coldest months, so could he.
Marinette knew her tolerance for the cold was freakish as pointed out by Alya who always tried to swaddle Marinette in winter clothing. Winter clothing just made Marinette too hot.
A smiled played on Marinette's face as she decided to simultaneously tease and trick her partner into being warm.
"Oh it's a shame because I thou- I mean Ladybug thought you could use something for the cold weather on patrol and asked me to make it," she said, watching Chat's ears perk in interest, "but if you don't need it..." Marinette sighed dramatically.
"Oh no Princess, how could I turn down a gift from my two favorite ladies," Chat said eagerly, eyes wide like a kid on Christmas Day.
Marinette stifled a giggle as she went down into her room.
Char hummed happily as he waited. He was so excited knowing that whatever Marinette had made would be amazing since she was such a talented designer. And his Lady has been so thoughtful, always thinking of others though it warmed his heart to know she cared for him.
Marinette returned with a charcoal colored cloak and helped Chat put it on. Chat purred in happiness. The material was fleece lined and heavy, keeping his body heat in, the buttons prevented the clock from gather wind at his torso as he leapt around, and the grey trimming made it stylish.
Chat profusely thanked Marinette once again floored at her kindness and talent before preparing to leave for patrol.
"Careful you don't stay out too long Princess, wouldn't want you to catch a cold," Chat said before he leapt off her balcony, he already knew she'd roll her eyes and do what she pleased anyway.
~The Next Day~
Adrien couldn't help but keep staring at the empty seat behind him at school.
Where was his Princess?
Nino seemed to notice his friend's distress and tapped Adrien on the shoulder to get his attention.
"Wondering where Marinette is?" Nino asked with a knowing smirk.
Adrien felt his face redden.
Curse Nino, wasn't he allowed to worry about his classmate? His friend? His very good friend?
But. Knowing where Marinette was currently was more important than his pride.
He nodded.
"She caught a cold," Nino replied shaking his head, "Probably because she goes outside without a coat."
Adrien's jaw dropped. Had he not warned her?
His eyes narrowed. Oh there was no way Chat was letting her live this down.
Adrien impatiently waited till school ended and groaned when he realized he had a photo shoot. He was so impatient that the photographer let him go early since he couldn't sit still.
Back at his room Adrien was preparing to go visit Marinette.
"Kid I'm pretty sure picking on her when she's sick isn't a good idea, she needs to rest," Plagg chided.
"I know Plagg, I just want to check on her that's all," Adrien said sincerely. Plagg smirked in the same way Nino had and before he could speak, an annoyed Adrien yelled, "Plagg, Claws out!"
Soon Chat Noir was racing towards the bakery to visit his ill Princess.
He expected to find her in bed but was floored to find her sitting on the floor of the balcony in a blanket with hot coco.
He leapt down beside her, apparently not shocking her in the least. Instead of acknowledging his presence she took a sip of her hot coco.
"A little birdy told me you were ill Princess," Chat began. She glanced up at him with a pout, expecting him to tease her. When the moment of silence stretched out she eyed him wearily.
"Thank yo-" Chat cut her off.
"I told you!" He scolded. Marinette's face returned to a pout, it was so cute that Chat had to look away, a light blush dusting his cheeks.
"This was purely a coincidence!" Marinette exclaimed, "I blame Alya because she's a carrier!"
Chat looked at her and chucked.
"Yeah sure Princess," he said. Marinette frowned knowing there was no convincing him otherwise. And okay maybe last night she had pushed herself.
A gentle breeze caused Marinette to shiver. Cat's gaze grew serious in concern.
"Maybe you should go inside..." he suggested, knowing she'd probably say no.
"The air in there makes it harder for me to breath normally," Marinette countered, eyes narrowed as if daring him to challenge her.
"You really do like it better up here don't you?" Chat replied softly. Marinette for some reason found herself blushing.
"O-of course. The view is amazing after all!" Marinette blurted out.
Chat seemed to take this as an invitation to sit beside her and gaze out at the city with her.
Another gust of wind made her tremble.
"Cold Princess?" Chat asked, no teasing or accusation in his voice at all. Just a simple question.
"No," Marinette mumbled stubbornly.
A few moments later an even stronger gust of wind made her teeth chatter.
She expected Chat to say something smart and was surprised to find him drap his cloak around her blanket covered self.
"Chat?" She asked curiously, eyes widening in surprise.
"There, hopefully you won't be cold anymore," he said softly, making her blush.
"But you need this, this is yours," Marinette protested.
Chat waggled a finger in her face in response.
"Don't worry Princess, I'll live for tonight, besides I'll be back for it when you're feeling better," he said, getting up to leave and get back to his warm home before it got any colder.
He wished he could stay with Marinette but it was getting late and she needed her rest.
As he got ready to take off, a pair of thin but strong arms wrapped around his waist from behind.
"Thank you,"Marinette said quietly, and only the night sky could see both of them blushing, thankful the other couldn't see them.
When Marinette released Chat he bid her goodnight before taking off.
"And maybe I'll visit her before she's better," Chat mumbled, blush darkening as he thought of her warm embrace.
