Chat wasn't watching Marinette walk home, not necessarily.
Except that he definitely was.
She had left Alya's house pretty late when he was running around on patrol. It had been his night to solo patrol and he wanted to make sure she got home safe. He was the night (or so he had deemed himself) but he was pretty sure Marinette knew he was following her. They were about four blocks away from the bakery when a man came out of the alleyway, pointing a weapon at Marinette. Chat's heart sped up and she backed away from the robber. He jumped toward the alley and jumped next to the robber, kicking the gun out of his hand. He picked up Marinette bridal style and ran across the rooftops until he landed on her balcony.
"Are you alright, Princess?" He asked, frantically.
"I'm fine, Chat," she crossed her arms knowingly. "How'd you get there so quickly?"
"I, um," his ears drooped.
She smiled widely, "I know you were following me."
"I'm sorry. It was late and I-"
"It's okay."
"R-really?" He looked hopeful.
"Yeah, I appreciate it."
"Oh um. Okay."
"However, if I don't walk through the front door, my parents might suspect something. Mind taking me down from here?"
"Oh! Of course!"
He scooped her up again and jumped down in front of the bakery door. She brushed herself off and straightened her back. She smirked before leaning forward. Chat's eyes grew wide and she pressed her lips to his cheek. She stepped away and towards the door.
"Thanks again, Kitty."
She opened and shut the door, giggling at the blush that flooded Chat's entire face.
