This was requested of me by a Guest. :) Enjoy!
Marinette stretched her arms over her head and rolled over. When her nose touched something soft that tickled her and smelt like Gabriel brand cologne. She had run out to the store and smelled it when it had come out.
It was familiar and her vision focused, as she rubbed her eyes. She took in the person's messy blonde hair, their white over shirt, and their worn blue jeans. Marinette covered her mouth and fell against the back wall with wide blue eyes.
She watched how his back moved with each steady breath and watched him cuddle her pillow with his cheek. Marinette leaned her back against the wall of photos of him and held her knees to her chest. She worried her bottom lip and watched him sleep.
He stirred and opened his eyes, letting his surroundings focus. The bright pink of the walls and the black bars that surrounded him, made him panic. He peered down and saw that he wasn't Cat Noir anymore.
Adrien slowly turned around to see Marinette. She squeaked and was blushing, as she took in how his blonde hair fell slightly into his eyes in the fashion of her kitty's hair. He brushed his hair back with his hand and it fell back into place.
"Hi." He awkwardly cleared his throat to try and clear out the sound of sleep. "I guess the cats out of the bag."
"I-" Marinette was struck with a panic and she couldn't even think straight.
His vision moved to behind her and he noticed all of the pictures from past photo shoots and from when they had hung out with friends. He instantly blushed and hid slightly in his hair.
"Um… are you hurrie- I mean hungry?" Marinette stumbled with her words and wanted to hit herself in the face for being so dumb. "Are you hungry?"
Adrien chuckled and smiled up at her. "Yes, but I wanted to talk to you for a moment…" His green eyes kept flickering to the photos behind her.
She blinked and squeaked when the realization hit her and she sprung up and ripped the photos from her wall. Adrien smiled warmly at her, sat up, and grabbed her wrist. "It's okay. I'm glad that you're a fan of mine. Actually… I'd rather they all be like you. Honestly."
Marinette's lips parted. "It's not fair that I know what- I mean who you are."
"It's okay. I-" Adrien pulled her into a hug and her heart sped up, while her bluebell eyes widened with shock, his scent overwhelmed her. "I trust you. I'm sorry I fell asleep. I should have just gone home. I shouldn't have stayed."
Marinette shook her head and pulled away from him. "I wanted you to stop- I mean! Stay!" Marinette covered her mouth and groaned at how bad that sounded.
He touched his bottom lip with his index finger and chuckled with a blush. "So, I only love Ladybug, huh?"
Marinette groaned and quickly grabbed a pillow and threw it over her face.
Adrien chuckled harder and pulled the pillow from her grasp. "Marinette. Look at me."
Marinette slowly opened her eyes that she had clenched tight. Her cheeks felt warm and she found it hard to look him in the eyes.
"You're amazing and a great friend." Adrien smiled warmly at her and watched her cringe at the last word. He waved his hands in front of his face. "Wait. I'm not done."
Marinette slowly peered into his shining green eyes.
"You're creative. You're understanding and you're always there for everyone. You're smart. You can be clumsy and you can be a bit all over the place." Adrien chuckled and bit his bottom lip, while a blush came over his soft cheeks. "But-"
He grazed her cheek with the back of his slender hand. She searched his eyes with shaking blue ones and parted lips.
"You're also the most beautiful girl, I have ever laid eyes on, Bugaboo." Adrien brought his lips close to hers and her eyes flew open wide.
She pushed him back and shook her head. "No, you can't know. We- We can't know who each other are. How last- I mean long?"
"I didn't." Adrien's eyes went wide with shock. "I- you're Ladybug?"
Marinette worried her bottom lip and looked at him with saddened ocean blue eyes.
"You… Marinette Dupain Cheng?" Adrien sat back on his heels with his hands between his knees on the bed. "Huh."
"Is that okay? Are you okay? Is there something wrong with me? Did you want it to be Kagami or Lila or someone else? Does it make you sad? Should I go somewhere el- mmfph." Marinette's heart sped up, but he had interrupted her by grabbing her face and pressing his soft lips to hers in a kiss.
She sighed and fell into him on the bed. Adrien sighed and turned his head slightly, deepening the kiss. Marinette sighed and clutched at his forearms. He yanked her closer by the small of her back, before he broke the kiss. He brushed a strand of hair behind her ear and smiled at her. "You're better than LB. You're my best friend, Marinette. Who else could be better as Ladybug than someone as kind hearted as you. I'm glad it's you, Purrincess."
Marinette's eyes shook back and forth and tears rimmed her lower lash line.
"Don't cry, Marinette." Adrien brushed a tear from her eye with his thumb.
She clutched his overshirt and buried her face into his shirt, crying. "I don't feel like you should be okay with me being Ladybug, so easily. I'm clumsy and useless as Marinette. I'm not perfect. I'm- I didn't even give you time, as Cat Noir. I- I'm a terrible person."
"Marinette…" Adrien sighed and she heard how his his heart slowed down. "YOU are amazing. Talented. Beautiful. Caring. Creative. You stood up to my father when Chloe stole your hat design. Most would be too afraid to do that. And… I know you're the reason I got to go back to school."
"What?" She pulled away from him in shock. "Your father said he wouldn't tell you."
Adrien chuckled and pointed behind him. Plagg shot out from Tikki's hiding spot.
"A little black cat told me, after many many tins of expensive cheese."
"Because he's evil!" Plagg protested and crossed his arms, as Adrien tossed him a piece of camembert.
Plagg huffed and flew away to be with Tikki.
"I also saw you walk away from the mansion." Adrien shrugged, "And then my father spoke to me about how I could go back to school. Since, I didn't really lose the book. That a certain someone 'borrowed' it." He raised an eyebrow at her.
Marinette worried her bottom lip. "Tikki said it was important."
"Tikki?" Adrien looked at her with his head tilted to the side like a curious cat.
Marinette giggled at him. "You really are a kitty."
Adrien groaned with a smile and peered at her through heavily lidded eyes.
"She's my kwami." Marinette smiled at him.
"Hello!" Tikki zipped over and hugged his cheek and he laughed.
"Hey." Adrien awkwardly chuckled at the red bug.
"I'll leave you alone." Tikki went back to Plagg and Marinette rolled her eyes and giggled.
"Look… I know you heard about how much I love Ladybug. And I seem to have missed our ice cream date. So… would you like to go get breakfast? Just you and me? My treat." Adrien touched her cheek and brushed her hair behind her ear with a warm smile.
Marinette got lost in his eyes.
"We can even take a coleslaw." Adrien chuckled at her.
Marinette blushed and slapped him in the chest. He rubbed the spot she had hit him and chuckled. "Ow."
"You're intimidating and attractive and.. Purrfect." Marinette rolled her eyes, causing him to laugh harder. "I can't talk around you. Right. The right way. Dang it! I can never say the right thing around you." She sighed.
He pulled her closer by the small of her back and pressed his lips to hers, before peering into her bluebell eyes lovingly, "Your eyes are the color of my mother's favorite flower, Bluebells."
Marinette blushed and her breath caught. "Blue bells…" She whispered as, his poem materialized inside her mind.
Adrien got lost in her eyes and peered at her lovingly, before he began to whisper poetic words in a calm tone. "Your hair as dark as night… your pretty bluebell eyes… I wonder who you are…" He pressed his forehead against hers and took a deep breath, before he slowly opened his eyes to peer into hers and he touched beneath her chin to bring her eyes up to his. "Beneath that strong disguise." He smirked and kissed her softly on the lips and she sighed into him, as her heart filled with warmth. "Every day we see each other… And I hope that you'll be mine… Together our love could be so true… Please will you be my... girlfriend?"
Marinette gasped and covered her lips with her trembling fingers.
Adrien searched her eyes with a worried expression. "So…. will you accept this crazy cat?"
Marinette yanked him on top of her, he caught his weight on his forearms, and she wrapped her arms around his neck. She pressed her lips to his, before pulling away. "Yes… yes… a million times… yes!" She rubbed the tip of her nose against his and he chuckled.
"Well, Marinette Dupain Cheng… I believe I owe you breakfast and a million apologies." Adrien chuckled and brushed her hair out of her face.
"Apologies?" Marinette raised an eyebrow.
"For being so dense and not admitting that you were more than a friend." Adrien smiled at her and kissed her once more on the lips, before getting up from her bed. "Shall we?" He held out his slender hand and she smiled at him and took it.
"Just let me get dressed. Stay here." Marinette crawled around him and went down the stairs.
"I can just wait on your balcony." Adrien opened the hatch and crawled up and out of her room.
She watched the door shut and once it did, she screamed and danced around her room, giddy with excitement. She grabbed the framed picture of him and fell onto her chaise lounge with blushing cheeks. "Adrien Agreste… my boyfriend. EEEEE! My kitty!"
Adrien chuckled and shook his head, as he heard his girlfriend giggling below.
"Well, looks like you have a girlfriend, kid. Finally!" Plagg tossed a piece of cheese into his mouth with a grossed out expression.
Adrien gasped and gripped the railing, while he looked away with a blush. "A- a girlfriend..." He smiled warmly at the thought of being loved and truly loved by someone, as amazing as Marinette, his lady.
"Ready!" Marinette called out from behind him and he turned around to see her standing in an A-Line pink dress with a sweetheart neckline and the straps wrapped around her neck and tied. She did a little spin, letting the skirt flare out around her with a blush.
His mouth fell open and he rubbed the back of his neck. "You look beautiful."
"Thanks. I made it." Marinette bit her bottom lip and held her hands behind her back, while she rocked on her heels.
Adrien walked up to her and spun her around, before catching her and leaning her back into a soft kiss. Her arms draped around his neck and she smiled into his kiss. He broke it and peered into her eyes, lovingly. "You're absolutely purrfect, Purrincess. Just the way you are."
Marinette sighed and kissed him again with a smile.
