Summer Days

It had been a few days since the fatidical day she had spent hours kissing Adrien. Marinette was still out of it, the whole experience felt something akin to lucid dreaming and not quite real. The feel of his lips, the strength of his hands on her body, his warm breath tickling her face - every single touch was engraved on her mind, making it hard for Marinette to think of anything but him.

The days were still hot and her sexual frustration only made them hotter, more unbearable to deal with. Sweat trickled down her back, making her remember his soft hands on her skin - all of it was too much for her, she was going crazy. A distraction! That's what she needed, and so she called her best friend.

The phone rang a couple of times before she finally picked up, "Alya, help me. I'm dying."

Alya laughed in her face, "I know girl, this weather is killing me too."

She wasn't completely wrong, but that wasn't the main issue right now. Marinette groaned, trying to figure out a way to say it, "I can't stop thinking about him."

Rolling her eyes Alya jested, "Tell me something new."

"I'm serious Alya..." she sighed, "And why was Nino so fixated on that kiss?! It's all his fault."

Giggling nervously, Alya shifted her eyes, avoiding looking at the screen of her phone.

"Alya…" Marinette menacingly drawled.

"Ok...so...I might have told Nino to keep cutting, so both of you blind idiots would finally get together. Honestly you should thank us both for the opportunity of making out with Adrien."

"Ugh...seriously?"

"Yes, you're welcome Marinette. I love you too! Oops, my mom's calling me, gotta go. Talk to you later!"

Alya hung up on her, how dare she? All of her suffering was because of her supposedly best friend; all the longing and aching, the heat that seeped from every pore, because of her nosy friend.

Who was she kidding? She was thankful, oh so very thankful, for having the chance to feel Adrien against her skin.

The distraction had failed to divert her thoughts, she should've known better, it was Alya after all.

Noticing Tikki was just staring outside the window, probably lost in her own world, Marinette figured it wouldn't hurt to ask.

"Hey Tikki," she started, making the kwami turn towards her with a kind smile on her face.

"Yes?"

"I need to get some air...would you mind if I transformed?" Marinette didn't have to ask, but there wasn't an akuma destroying the city, this was just her being selfish and Tikki was her friend, she wasn't about to use her however she felt like.

Tikki chuckled adorably, "Of course Marinette."

Taking the small kwami into her hands, she kissed Tikki's forehead whispering a soft thank you before uttering the magical words, "Transforme moi."

Ladybug was instantly out of the stifling house and the wind on her face had never felt better. This would help clear her thoughts, it had to.

After a few minutes or maybe even hours - she couldn't tell - she stopped, completely spent she just lied down on a random rooftop staring at the vast, dark sky. The stars not nearly as visible as she'd like; the new moon only made it lonelier.

Her muscles were throbbing, in a good way, but it made her not want to move. She could just sleep there, lulled to sleep by the noise of the city and the exhaustion washing over her. Everything momentarily forgotten as her eyelids grew heavier, closing longer each time, until…

Her eyes snapped open before she could fall asleep; being completely jostled awake by a loud thud on the roof, made by someone's landing.

Of course, he just had to show up.

XXXXXX

Adrien was freaking out. Marinette was his friend. Yes, he could appreciate her beauty but he had never fantasized about her - until now.

That day, the moment their lips touched, something shifted inside his beating heart. The spot that was reserved for his lady, had been taken over by Marinette without him noticing, apparently she managed to make a nest there and she wasn't moving anytime soon.

He felt guilty, as if he were somehow betraying Ladybug, even though they were only partners. But guilt was not the predominant emotion racking his brain, it was embarrassment - he still couldn't believe he had made Marinette touch his raging erection. Adrien wasn't sure what exactly brought him to do that, probably her intoxicating kisses or perhaps the need to make her feel better whilst getting the chance to be touched by her smooth hands.

Honestly, her reaction was adorable - the intense blush that spread throughout her body, her blown out pupils and the cute squeak that slipped through her kiss-bruised lips - only making it harder for him to calm himself down.

Adrien was sure Marinette was trying to kill him; every move she made, every single whisper that flowed from her mouth, every look and lingering touch - it felt like she was doing it purposefully, the intent of her actions meant to hypnotise him so he would never think of anything but her - it was working.

He tried to blame the torrid weather for his lack of appetite, but Adrien knew, it was her. Marinette was taking over his life and he had to get her out of his head, but how?

As if God was answering his prayers, he saw Ladybug in the distance, jumping from rooftop to rooftop. With a grin on his face he called Plagg, who chose to ignore him.

"Plagg, you either come willingly or I won't give you camembert for a week."

The kwami sighed, "I don't like being threatened. So how about instead we make a deal-"

Before Plagg could finish his sentence, Adrien was already yelling out, "Transforme moi."

Adrien knew his little friend would be grumpy later, but some cheese would make everything better and right now he couldn't waste time.

Bounding from one roof to another, he set out to search for his buginette.

When he finally spotted her, she was lying on her back peacefully and he almost regretted disturbing her. Still he needed her company right now, maybe all he needed was a dose of Ladybug to set everything straight.

Twirling his baton in his hands he thought of what to say.

Marinette glanced at her partner, he looked nervous and frazzled, interesting. Patting the spot next to her, as a gesture for him to join her, a huge grin took over his face and he did as she asked.

They were both silent, for the moment just enjoying the quiet company - making both of their heads wander to what they were trying to forget.

Adrien was the first one to break the silence, "So, how are you my lady?" he asked, wanting to facepalm himself for the stupid question.

Marinette actually giggled, he was so silly. Still, she didn't know how to answer the question, after all she didn't quite understand what she was feeling, so how could she?

Chat Noir was staring at her, with his glowing green eyes - how could they be so green? - which was not helping. They only brought memories of Adrien to the surface, which she was trying to avoid in the first place.

Blushing, Ladybug looked straight into his eyes - she was looking for something, and he didn't know what - but this felt so familiar, so close to his throbbing heart. He was being pulled in; getting lost in a blue ocean that dragged him down deeper every passing second.

Their faces were closer now, neither of them realizing when that had happened.

Marinette cleared her throat, dispelling the magic surrounding them - she couldn't do this, it felt so right but so wrong at the same time. Her body was begging for release, and Chat Noir was right there, oozing pheromones and sexual frustration, the same as her.

Leaning her forehead on his - to try and restrain herself from doing what she wanted, needed - Marinette sighed, "I'm a bit...hot." she answered the forgotten question moving away from the boy next to her and screwing shut her eyes.

Adrien wanted to say 'Yes you are' but refrained himself from doing so, mainly because his tongue was all twisted and the words wouldn't come out even if he needed them to.

Marinette continued, "Which is why I came for a walk. Didn't expect you to show up though." she quietly laughed, trying to regain her breath.

"I'll follow you wherever you go, my lady." Adrien joked, winking at Ladybug. This felt more like them, playing around with no sexual connotations - just harmless flirting.

Rolling her eyes, "That sounds unbelievably creepy, but thanks."

"I'm pawsitively offended you think of me as some sort of stalker, I'm just a cat. Your cat."

Oops, he screwed up. Ladybug's reaction to his slip up was very similar to another girl that plagued his mind and that was not what he had expected from her; normally she'd just laugh it off with a roll of her eyes but this wasn't a usual day - everything felt off.

His mind took him back to that moment, where he was drowning in Marinette's kisses and the name came out in a whisper, without his permission, "Marinette…"

Shocked, scared, excited, confused - all of those emotions passed through Marinette's mind, her face scrunched up in deep thought, she was just so overwhelmed. How?

"HOW DID YOU KNOW?"

Chat Noir looked like a deer in headlights, which made her freak out even more, "How did you know?" she asked once again, voice low and frightened.

Adrien was startled, he had no idea of what was going on; Ladybug looked terrified and that absolutely tore him apart, "Know what?"

By then Marinette had already gotten up, pacing the rooftop back and forth, he was completely maddening. Was he doing it on purpose?

"Know that I'm...Marinette." she whispered so low, even Chat Noir had a hard time hearing it.

With his head tilted to the side, realization finally overcame him, "WHAT?"

"Why are you surprised?! You just said my name!"

"I did?"

"What is happening right now?" Marinette was exasperated, was Chat Noir on drugs? It certainly seemed like it. "Yes, you said my name."

"I-I didn't know! I promise."

"Then why would you say-"

"I'M SORRY!" before she could finish he interrupted her. He felt bad, he really did, but at the same time he was over the moon. Every weird, unnamed feeling, completely resolved in seconds.

"For what?"

"I was just thinking about Marinette - you? - and it just came out, but I swear I didn't know."

"So you're telling me...I just revealed my identity, because of an accident?"

"Apparently you're not as lucky as you thought." Adrien laughed.

"That is not funny, Chat!" right now she could punch him and not feel even an ounce of guilt, right in his stupid smug face, "Wait...you were thinking about me? Do you know me?"

A cheshire grin pulled on his lips - only infuriating Ladybug even more - and he bowed, "Purrhaps my lady, I've been in front of you this whole time and you just didn't see me."

"I am losing my patience, will you fess up already?"

"I thought you didn't want to know." he looked as innocent as a child did after lying to its parents.

"Chat…"

Sighing dramatically he murmered, "Fine."

Closing the distance from the love of his life - yes, that's how much he loved her - Adrien took her in his arms. A soft kiss exchanged between the two, Marinette deepening it before he got the chance to do it.

She was furious, but his lips felt like home and she was afraid to let go. Every touch and every single kiss, felt like déjà vu. It was as if Adrien was right there, with feather touches and languid kisses, heating her from the inside out.

Pushing him away to take a deep breath, Marinette looked at him and saw it - every single sign that pointed to his identity, from his eyes to his perfect white teeth to his disheveled hair - "Adrien…?"

"Surprise...?" he beamed nervously. Adrien wasn't sure she would be happy at the newfound information, but all he could think of was how Ladybug - Marinette - looked in his arms, as if she belonged there.

Her brain froze, the new knowledge being too much for her mind to comprehend. The man she loved and the partner that she trusted her life with, were the same people. How could that even be possible? How did she not notice? Was she really that blind? Apparently so, because the longer she processed it, the easier it was to see that Chat Noir could never be anyone but Adrien.

Unbridled happiness racked her body and she held him close, so tight he could hardly breathe.

She was crying.

Ladybug - strong, confident and beautiful Ladybug - was crying.

Marinette - cute, awkward and courageous Marinette - was crying.

Adrien could feel her tears on his heated skin, and he hugged her back as hard as he could. She was so precious to him, so important...how could he ever let her go?

He had to tell her, he needed to finally tell her how he felt.

"I love you."

He was pretty sure his mouth hadn't even moved, and when blue eyes met his own he understood the words weren't his. Chat Noir was beyond astonished at hearing his buginette, tell him what he had been trying to tell her for years, and more than a bit confused. Obviously he wasn't thinking properly, or he wouldn't have said what he did, "Are you sure?"

The mood shifted, Ladybug was glaring at him as if he were an idiot, the loving atmosphere gone, "Really? That's your response to me confessing my love for you?"

Pushing him away she strutted to the side of the building, readying herself to yo-yo her way out of there.

"Wait Ladybug, I need to tell you something…" in the middle of his sentence she was already swinging away so he screamed as loud as he could "I LOVE YOU!"

From the distance he could hear her giggles, "I KNOW." was the response he got, which made him smile harder than anything ever could. Shaking himself out of the daze he was in, he gave chase after Marinette.
