Chapter 7
She ran up her stairs and the cat followed forgetting that he was still in mask. Marinette's parents were in shock at the sight of chat noir running up their stairs. Marinette realized that her parents must have been very confused and quickly told Chat to stay put in her room and that she would be right back. She walked down the stairs to find that her parents were still frozen with confusion. "Hey um that was a friend of mine. He likes cosplaying Chat Noir because he knows that I like Chat. And we are just playing video games on the couch." She said looking at her parents with a forced smile. "Darling, have fun I will bring up some snacks in a few minutes"! Said Mrs. Dupain Cheng "Be good!" Was followed by Mr. Dupain Cheng. Shocked at her parents amount of "chillness" she walked up the stairs with a confused smile. She opened her door to find that Chat was transformed back into Adrien and he was looking at all her posters of him. "Marinette blushed and walked over to the desk where he had examined all of the posters and magazine cut outs. "Ooooooh you did have a crush on me! That's so embarrassing!" Adrien stated in a teasing manner. Marinette still blushing commented "uh uh y-yeah I I I just cupped I m-mean cut t-hose out and-" she cut herself off mid sentence. "Adrien...we are dating... " she said confused on why she was stuttering. Adrien turned to her and smiled "I'm just joking Bugaboo but, I still think its adorable when you stutter when you are nervous" he said with a wink. "Careful! Your Chat is showing!" She said jokingly as she walked over to her tv and tuned on her gaming console and sat down. Adrien followed her. The were both sitting on her couch now staring at the screen. "What do you want to play, Adrien?" She asked still staring at the console. "How about "BATTLE OF THE KITTENS"?" He asked with a smirk. " fine! but I will beat your tail! I've gotta say I've gotten PURRetty good at this game." Marinette said impressed with her pun skills. "That's PURRfectly fine with me, M'lady! He said with a wink. She shook her head as she pressed start on the game.
Chapter 8
It had now been 2 weeks since Chat Noir had showed his identity to Marinette and told her that he was in love with her. They were now dating as Ladybug and Chat Noir and also as Adrien and Marinette. Last night when they played video games he left at 7 pm and transformed. He wanted to sit on the Eiffel Tower alone. He was so happy that Marinette was his love. But this was the anniversary of when his mom disappeared. He missed her dearly. And since every time he transformed it sent ladybug a note saying that he was transformed Marinette knew that he was now Chat Noir again. She called Adrien to make sure that everything was ok and that there wasn't an Akuma running wild in Paris. "Adrien! Is everything ok!? I got the alert that you transformed! Is there an Akuma?!?" She said with concern. "See I told you that knowing each other's identities would come in handy some time he said avoiding the question. "Chat...answers the question. Do I need to transform?" She asked with seriousness. He knew that even though they loved each other that during Akuma fighting they had to be serious. "No M'lady, no trouble here just sitting and watching the sunset." He didn't know if he wanted her to join or not. "Oh ok." She said with a sigh of relief. Chat made up his mind. "Do you want to join me?" He said knowing her company would help him. "Chat...you just left my house an hour ago..." She said knowing that he wasn't ok. "It's ok M'lady..." He sad you could hear the disappointment in his voice. "I'm on my way" she said with hurry. She hung up. She ran downstairs and said "again guys thanks so much for the snacks. Y'all are the best parents ever! But... I'm exhausted and I have a huge test tomorrow s I'm going to bed! Love y'all!" And before her parents could say anything but wave she was up the stairs and in her room. She quickly transformed and kept out of her room onto her balcony and turned to face the Eiffel Tower. She saw a small silhouette of someone sitting on the top. She aimed to the nearest tall building and swung herself over with her yo yo. She reached the Eiffel Tower and landed right beside the cat. She could see that he wasn't ok.
