Chapter Title: Catnip for a Chat Noir

Hey guys!

I know I was going to make a Drarry one this time but the plot bunnies decided to start being an butt towards me so yeah…

Enjoy a fluffy Adrienette for the Miraculous Ladybug Fans.

For those who don't know about Miraculous Ladybug; Search it up. I'm trying to get as many people into this glorious fandom.

Oh yeah and Matt the Guest I have to say that there, is in fact an brand of chocolates that is named 'Turkish Delight.' We always get them in favourites chocolate and even though you now know you are wrong it's quite offensive to call someone's father an moron just because you inadequately researched the chocolate. For now I shall forgive you.

Anyway read the beautiful Pet store assistant! Adrien x Marinette moment.

[The most creative line break brought to you by Leonardo Da Vinci (I may have an AC crush on him…)]

Marinette was lying in her bed.

Marinette woke to her kwami friend, Tikki hovering over her face. Used to it, she didn't jump back like she usually would and just yawned.

"Hey Tikki."

Tikki giggled and replied "Good Morning Marinette!" She waited for her sleepy friend to wake up an bit more. "So what are you going to do today?" Marinette thought as she brought her phone out and entered the passcode.

5-6-9-3 or more simply; L-O-V-E.

She scrolled quickly to the notepad and checked her to-do-list. On the first line it said;

'Get Chat Noir a present, maybe from Pet Store as a joke! ;P'

"I have to go get a present for Chat, but first we need food." Marinette told her tiny friend, petting her head. "What will it be today Tikki?"

"Cookies! Maybe the Christmas cookies you baked yesterday?" Tikki inquired Marinette, quickly hiding in one of her favourite hiding spots, Marinette's purse which she picked up and slung over her shoulder, quickly brushing her hair into her signature pigtails. She marched down the stairs to see her mother cooking her favourite type of pancake- Blueberry.

"Hey Maman! Thank you for breakfast!" Marinette kissed her mother's cheek and snagged an cooked pancake and plopped it on an plate. Stealing cookies has made her an professional as she did just that and stuck the cookie in her purse.

"Cheeky!" Maman giggled as she stroked Marinette's cheek and sighed. "What has gotten you up so early in the morning- for you!" Sabine laughed at her little joke as Marinette groaned as usual.

"I'm going to pop down to the pet store." Seeing her mother's odd look. "I'm going to get something for my friend-'s cat for Christmas. Uh Rose really likes her cat so I thought- why not get something for him?" Marinette chuckled weakly but Sabine bought her excuse.

"Well, its chilly outside, you need to bundle up. Okay?" Sabine looked sternly at her forgetful daughter, not forgiving completely the week before when Marinette had started to walk to school as normal with her autumn attire. She came in again a minute later admitting to feeling a bit cold.

"Ok mum!" Marinette ran up to her room and Tikki flew up from her purse still holding half of the cookie and munching on it.

Marinette threw her closet doors open a bit dramatically and picked out her light blue coat with fuzzy artificial fur around the collar of her wrist. She put her ladybug winter dress on under the coat and put black leggings on. She slipped her furry pink boots and her matching mitts on. She quickly debated between an red and gold scarf, ((She knitted an 'Gryffindor' scarf for Nino for Christmas and had a lot of spare yarn left and made herself one) A/N: I picture Nino as an die-hard Potterhead! And this is still HP/ML drabbles so I can do whatever I want.) Or a plain pink scarf. She decided to be different and grabbed the 'Gryffindor' scarf and wrapped it around her neck loose enough so she can breathe. She also put her pink furry ear muffs over her ears and allowed Tikki to climb into her breast pocket (After she was finished eating of course!) She walked down the stairs, waving a 'goodbye' to her parents and walked over to the closest Pet Store.

She stood finally in front of a place with the brightly painted sign which said 'Bright Future for Pets' with glowing neon lights. The place was decorated with Christmas decorations and cute signs. Marinette giggled as she walked in, she was met with almost instant nice warmth, she put her earmuffs around her neck and loosened her scarf. She looked around the cat section not noticing two pairs of eyes following her. She went to the cat toy section and saw a little Ladybug spotted-squeaky mouse and leapt for it. She also saw catnip held up and had a little red tie. She saw a couple of collars but didn't think Chat would approve of having a collar. Well, from Ladybug he would love it but Marinette thought it would be cruel.

She walked past some adorable puppies and awed at their cuteness, gently dropped to her knees and petted the first that came up to her which had dark brown-reddish hair and chocolate colour eyes which reminded her of Alya. The second to reach her was a golden coloured puppy with the third brightest green eyes, first and second belonging to Adrien and Chat Noir. The third was a shy thing, with bluey fur and the brightest blue eyes. She seemed shy around the blond puppy which tried to be friends with the blue puppy. Marinette was thinking about how the Blue puppy reminded her of herself, the blond as Adrien and the Alya look alike seemed to be trying to help them both out as Alya would usually do.

"They are adorable aren't they Marinette?" A male yet familiar sounding broke Marinette out of her thoughts.

"Yes they are! Some of the puppies remind me of me and my friends." Marinette didn't face her mysterious speaker and the speaker was intrigued.

"Oh really? Which one seems most like you?" he asked.

She pointed to the seemingly-blue furred puppy which licked her finger shyly. And the male chuckled.

"Oh she definitely acts like you. She's super shy around my puppy look alike which you are like in real life."

Marinette looked at him to truly get what he was saying before she squealed and tripped over near the puppies, the Adrien puppy looking at her in concern as the real one was doing right now.

"Uh H-hi Adrien! W-what are here doing you? I mean you doing here. Heh heh." Marinette blushed heavily as she picked up the cat toys which were in front of her as the Adrien puppy nudged his head in her palm.

"Sorry for startling you. To make up for that I shall tell you the story of how I got here. It's an bit long so yeah. I'll show you around." Adrien offered his hand to a still blushing Marinette who took his hand gratefully.

They walked as Marinette was quiet and Adrien was excitedly telling her about his job.

"-And dad has been a little… well… something and refused to give me money so I could get my friends something so I work here in secret and gain money so I can buy them all a present." Adrien finished his tour, rubbing the back of his neck sheepishly as he saw his co-workers comment on him talking with Marinette.

"Wait, your father doesn't let you buy Christmas presents for your friends?" Marinette looked at Adrien in shock, forgetting to stutter.

"Well, yeah. But before now I didn't really have a need. Before it was just Chloe and me." Adrien shrugged it off and asked Marinette, tactfully changing the subject. "So just these two items?"

Marinette was just about to say yes when she saw a cheap red light laser and grabbed that to add to the pile.

"I'd like to get these thanks." She muttered to Adrien who heard her who checked it in and allowed her to purchase the three items.

"Who are these for?" he asked her and was surprised to hear her laugh.

"Well I have a friend who would love these or think I'm mocking him." Marinette winked at him and smiled cheekily. A couple of customers who were near her and saw her wink aww'ed.

"Well your friend must be lucky. I mean- Catnip?! An squeaky cat toy with spots on it and an laser pointer!" Adrien exclaimed making Marinette laugh.

"Especially the Ladybug squeaky mouse toy." She rolled her eyes and grinned at Adrien. Adrien taken back by her sudden confidence which reminded him of Ladybug. He thought of how Marinette looked like Ladybug in that moment and slightly blushed.

"Who wouldn't?" He replied to Marinette. His phone started playing 'Hedwig's theme' which is in honour of Nino's nerdom. Marinette's phone started playing Ladybugs theme song which Marinette made herself and gave it to her ladyblogger friend.

Adrien suddenly thought "Hey Mari?"

"Yes Adrien?" Marinette turned to Adrien eyes asking him his question.

"Since we're friends," He ignored the groans of his co-workers and their mutters of 'Adrienette forever.' "We should have each other's phone numbers." He finished. Marinette internally squealed but played it cool, bringing up her inner Ladybug.

"Sure." she entered her pin in and scrolled to contacts which Adrien was quick to add his contact it. He had a sudden idea and quickly put a cute cat emoji after his name and the phone tone was Nyan cats which for some reason she had on her phone, he took an quick silly selfie to put as his contact picture. He quickly copied her phone number to his phone and added a cute Ladybug emoji after her nickname just because, he also took a quick picture of her subtly which looked pretty cool for her contact picture. He also made her(Ladybug's) song his ringtone. He passed her phone back to Marinette who slipped it in her pocket and grinned.

"Hope you have a good holiday Adrien!" she waved, grabbing her bag of stuff (she felt as if she just got an big shot of lucky serum somehow.) and made her way to the door.

"Bye, visit soon Mari!" he waved and had an smile on his face for the rest of the day as Marinette screamed to Alya who surprised her by going to her house for the day.

"ADRIEN HAS MY PHONE NUMBER!" she squealed. She spun around and stopped when the Nyan meows chimed out of her phone with an silly photo of Adrien in his Chat noir themed Santa hat and his pet apron with an cat face and 'You Are PUUUURRRRFECT!' in bold print.

He had texted her.

She died and went to heaven (or felt like it.)

Alya being the perfect wing woman took Marinette's phone and unlocked it with ease seeing the text message and gasped.

"Mari, he asked if tomorrow you two could hang out someplace. OMG girl! What are you going to say?!" Alya fangirled as her ship 'Adrienette' was finally coming together.

"Uhh… Oh! I got the perfect idea."

Marinette quickly texted Adrien 'We could hang out at my place if you wanted? Free cookies this time and video games or movies?' She hit send.

'Yes! I have always wanted to taste more of your parents stuff! They are amazing! R U sure they are ok with it?'

Marinette called out to her mother through the hatch "Hey mum do you mind if Adrien comes over to play video games tomorrow? Maybe at…" She looked at Alya who put up 10 and an extra finger after that. "Eleven o'clock?"

"Sure! If he is fine with it." Her mother called back to her and Marinette pumped her fist in the air and hissed an yes!

'Yep their fine with it. Do U want to come at 11? Or later?'

The reply came as quick as the first one.

'Nup, 11's fine. I'm clear for the rest of the day then. Cya then tomorrow at urs?'

Marinette typed 'Yep. Can't wait.'

'Cya then Mari. ;)

=(O.O)= '

Marinette showed the messages to Alya who squealed and jumped around with her. Her phone buzzed twice which signalled it was time for Alya to go home and Marinette to have dinner.

"Aww, see you soon. Remember to text me all about tomorrow!" Alya hugged Marinette goodbye.

"I promise!" Marinette giggled.

Marinette woke up again at 10 o'clock at night to meet up with Chat Noir on their weekly night patrol and called for Tikki to transform her.

Once her transformation was complete she stepped out on her balcony, grabbed an spare scrap of material (black) and tied the present to her waist and slung her yo-yo to the nearest grapple point and brought her closer to the Eiffel Tower which is where they met.

When she reached there she saw Cat Noir with two santa hats (one on his head, one in his hand) and an neatly wrapped present in his hand which he was fiddling with.

"Hey Chat! Want a cookie? I made them myself." She offered an chocolate chip from her Tupperware container.

"I didn't know my lady was also a baker!" he took an cookie and hummed at the brilliance of the cookie.

"Ha! Thanks! I learnt a thing or two from my parents." Marinette shrugged and carefully reached in the makeshift present carrier.

"Merry Christmas Chat." She looked her second best friend in his eye and gave him the pink and blue tissue wrapped present.

"Aww! You shouldn't have! Here, I got you something as well." He gave her the Santa hat in his hand and the neatly wrapped green and purple present. She giggled and place the hat on first, grabbing her yo-yo phone to take a quick photo with Chat eating another cookie in the background. She sent it to her own phone and put it into a locked part of it where not even Alya can get into it. She unwrapped the present and gasped as she saw a beautiful bracelet with Ladybug charms and black cats and tiny butterflies. She clasped it around her wrist and turned to see Chat looking at how pleased she looked. She also felt a little bit guilty for just giving him cookies and cat toys when she got an very beautiful bracelet. She braced herself for Chat to start disliking her but didn't expect him to mutter 'Marinette.'

"Wh-what?" she stuttered. His shocked green emerald looked at her and stuttered.

"Mari? You're my Mari? My Princess?" Chat suddenly smiled. Then frowned.

"I'm sorry, I know that you wanted to keep your identity a secret and I blew it." he muttered, silently poking at the mouse when Marinette gasped.

"Adrien?!" She looked at him as he looked down.

"Do you hate me?" he said quietly.

"N-no, of course not, you silly kitty! I love you!" she gasped and clasped her mouth. Starting to blush crazily.

"Did you just-" Chat asked incredibly.

"NO I DIDN'T!" she squeaked, interrupting him. He smiled a Cheshire smile.

"Naww! I love you too!" he grabbed her arms and proceeded to hug her with her squealing. She calmed down and actually snuggled into his grasp.

"Does me being Adrien change things?" he asked her. She looked at him.

"Does me being Marinette change things?" she asked him rhetorically.

"Well yes and no…" he messed his hair up.

"Exactly." They kept in comfort quiet and stayed like that until Chat-Adrien's miraculous started beeping. They sighed and held hands for a while.

"See you tomorrow okay Kitty?" Marinette smiled and scratched behind Adrien's artificial ear.

"Yep sure. See you Bugaboo." He saluted her as she made her way back to her room and collapsed on her bed. She released the transformation, her new Santa hat and charm bracelet still on. Tikki proud of her little charge.

"Good job! I'm proud of you. Now maybe its time for you to learn more about your heritage." Tikki exclaimed.

"Heritage?"
