Marinette Pov.

I was sorry , and I meant it , I was so sorry what I said to Chat Noir who seemed to just want that I'm safe. But I guess I can't take it back, and the chances of us metting once again are slim (not really) so I guess I have to deal with it. Yesterday was wonderfull with Adrien being at my house , but how Lila acted was pretty strange , I wasn't so sure but it looked like she lied and how she stared at my Adrien. But lucky me , Adrian didn't even showed interest in the slightest way , most likely why I haven't punched Lila in the face already. And the best thing was ... I didn't even stuttered that much , so mabe I can still dream of our three children and a hamster.

I got down the staires to eat breakfast till I got a idea, Chat was there both times when I was out , so if I'll go out again than there would be a small chance of us meeting , there was just one problem: I basically promised both Adrian and Chat that I wouldn't go out in the dark anymore , and if either of them knew that I was still out than I wasn't sure who I wanted it to be , Adrian the boy that I had a huge crush on and the one who would probably never talk to me again for lying , ok mabe not that worse but still or Chat Noir , the criminal who seemed to have no problem crushing somebody's skull into a wall.

But it looked like fate was on my side when my mum came to me asking :" Hey honey , we completely forget to buy new butter and milk for tomorrow, can you go to the shop and by 5 liter milk and 2 kg of butter , the money is on the kitchen table , thanks." So I grabbed my bigger coat because of it already being a bit colder than a few days ago , the money and a pair of shoes, and headed outside.It wasn't even that dark outside , bcause well it is november and it's six a clock so yeah. The store wasn't that far away , I guess twenty minutes by walk , so I got in , buyed everything and headed home , without meeting Chat Noir again. But there still was this feeling of being watched. As I headed upstaires and walked to my desk I saw a note on ut , but that wasn't here before.

I thought you purromised that you wouldn't go out at night Purrincess. Just because you can't see meow doesn't mean I don't see you. Was it a attempt to meow again?

Le Chat Noir

I looked around my room in shock, Chat Noir was in here and he saw me walking home , was it a coincidence that he saw me everytime I went out ? I put the note behind one of the pictures of me and Alya , then I opened the trapdoor to my balcony and walked out and there stood , back faced towards me Chat Noir , looking at the night sky of Paris , he didn't even noticed me walking out and smirked . I carefully walked up to him and tapped him on the shoulder. His reaction was priceless, he jumped , turned around with the baton in his hand and I began laughing. He began to understand what happened and looked at me with a unsure expression:" Princess , why are you laughing ?" I just laughed harder

" Because... cause your reaction ... and how you jumped like a actual cat... I seriously expected you to hiss at me ..." Chat cracked a smile to:" Done mocking me yet?" I giggled :" Might take another minute Kitty Cat." He gave me a look :"Kitty Cat ?" Oh , so he can give me a nickname but I don't :" Yeah, youre new nickname , but niw , what are you doing here ?" He chuckled :" What does it looks like? " Wow , answering a question with another question :" Ehm looking at the night sky while being on my balcony after you followed me like a stalker to my house." His smile fell alittle and I continued :" Ehm Chat , for the other night , I'm sorry , I had no right to yell at you like that , you just wanted to make sure I'm safe. And ... well I don't really mind your company , even though your a criminal ... " I didn't knew what to say anymore , this sounded really pathetic. But as I looked at him he didn't looked offended, but instead ... happy? And then he took my hand in his and pressed a light kiss on my knuckles. I blushed and looked up at him as he murmered a " Your forgiven Princess ."

I felt better after that sentence but why? He's a criminal , I should call the police and scream or run , not blush because he kissed my hand. What the heck is wrong with me ? But he continued :" But I wasn't even mad from the start, you were right , but I was worried about you ." Well , now I have even more questions:" But why ? The first night when you saved me you already new my name and address. Also , you said you were worried about me , this would mean that you know me longer than just passing by . So from where do I know you ?" Now I would hopefully get my answers but I should know that live isn't that easy:" That needs to remain a secret till I know I can trust you with this."

Shouldn't I be the one not trusting him ? Than I heard a noise was it ... his stomach? I laughed :" Was the stray cat not really feed today? I would feed you , but there is the problem of strays coming back once you feed them." He looked at me with the puppy or in that case kitty eyes and that'smost likely my greatest weakness, I sigh :" Ok , wait here for a second , I'll be right back." I walked down the staires and looked in the bakery , we had a few croissants and macaroons left over. I grabbed them and as I entered my room Chat Noir lay on my chair not up at the balcony. " Uh , was it ... are there cookies, or croissants? " The way his eyes lit up really was cute, but not thaaaaat cute ." We had a few croissants and macaroons left over here ." I tossed him one of the macaroons and he catched it . with his mouth. What the heck ? He munched : thewe awe dewicious pwinces." Oh god this was hilarious and I couldn't stop laughing. And while I was distracted laughing he snatched the rest of the pastries and also ate them.

When I finally stopped Chat lay on my bed on his stomach watching me. " What Cat got your tongue?" I asked teasingly. He blushed :" Your cute when you laugh." And now it was my time to blush.And then I yawned. "Is the princess tired ? " I nodded:" Yup , it was a long day , we have this new studend her name is Lila and something about her , is just off. And then today when Alya and I grabbed lunch and I wanted to tell her what she missed , Lila always to tell us about famous persons she apparently nows and how we should lay in a good word for her by my friend Adrian and I was like so confused , why can't she do it herself and also what is her goal , yesterday she fist said no , I don't have time but the moment that Adrian wanted to hang out with menshe had time , ugh." I went to grabmy pj's, then walked in the bathroom and changed as I came back in Chat Noir was gone and the pastries too. "Good night you stupid cat."

The next morning I woke up and realised something... I was late! "Not again" I ran into the bathroom and grabbed the nearest things out of my wardrobe, I quickly changed and brushed my hair then looked in thd mirror, I wore a white shirt and blue pants , over that a black sweather . I brushed my teeth and then hurried down the staires , grabbed a croissant and made my way to school, I stumbled into the classroom:" Late again Marinette , next time you get detention. I sighed:" Sorry Madame Bustier." I headed to my place and set down next to Alya who said:" Wow Mari , since when did you started wearing your hair open?" Just then I realised that I forgot to put my hand into my usal pigtails . " Oh , em you know I was late and i guess I somehow forgot." Adrian turned around and whispered :" You should were it like that more often , it suits you. " Then he turned around and I blushed like crazy , did I just got a compliment from Adrian! Then I turned my attention back to the board.

In the break I told Alya and Lila that the customs were finished and that we could start practicing today , so after school we went to Alyas place but grabbed something to eat at my parents bakery so that I could get the costums. We practiced and we did pretty well , just the kiss scene always ended up with all of us laughing on the ground. " Come on guys , get yourself together , we need to finish this." I tried to sound resalable but just then giggled again. " Easy for you to say , you just need to poisen me and talk to a mirrow , not kiss a friend ." Ok they've got a point. We tried it again and finished finally. I walked home when I suddenly got a text on my phone.

From: Unknown

Hey Purrincess, how are you ?

Was he serious? Didn't he knew that the police could track phones?

Are you serious?

Yep , got myself a second SIM card and with that , a second number. ;)

I quickly saved his name under Kitty Cat and replied

Isn't that dangerous?

Nah, I got this , so how are you ?

I'm good , you?

Fine, so what are you doing ?I'm getting home from Alyas, than doing ny homework[

Oh , you need company?

Like I said , once you feed a stray cat they ceep on coming back :P

I shouldn't do that , I should not text a criminal , I should give the number to the police so they can track his phone , but well he did saved my life so I can't just do that. I entered the bakery and headed up to the staires to see that we had Noodles on the table , I quickly grabbed a plate and a spoon and began eating them. Once I finished I went upstaires to do my homework but after the second question I started to feel a bit dizzy so I drank a bit water , after 15 minutes I called for my parents. And just when they came in my head hit the desk and everything went black.

The next time I woke up I noticed that I was tucked in bed and next to me were my parents who looked so worried :" Oh Marinette, we were so worried , the doctor just left. He said you ate something bad, and I guess it was the noodles on the counter?" I nodded and she sighed :" These noodles were still from monday and not that well anymore , but he said you should just stay at home tommorow and then everything will be fine." I smiled , they hugged me and went downstaires. I tried to sleep but I just couldn't. So I pulled out my phone and just checked the news. And the headline was.

Chat Noir stole priceless artifact, how can we get it back.

I stared at the screen , guess he wouldn't visit tonight. But when I heard a knock on my trapdoor I knew that I guessed wrong. I opened the hatch still feeling a bit dizzy and let him in , he looked terrified, as if something bad happened and the moment I looked at his hands , there were dropps of blood all over them:" Fuck Chat , did you killed somebody ? " He shock his head and stammered just a few words :" Artifact.. other criminal ... said something about nowing who I love the most ... tried to ignore it ... hoped it was a lie ... had a picture of yo-her ... stabbed it with a knife ... attacked me ... accidentally stabbed him in the arm ... " he broke down in front of me and I tried to calm him down but it didn't worked so I awkwardly wrapped my arms around him and held him. We sat like that for at least 30 minutes till he seemed to calm down , he looked at me :" Do you ... do you think I am a murder , do you think I killed him ? " I didn't knew what to say, cause Ihad no idea were he hit him , so I just told him what he wanted to hear :" No I don't think that your a murder , and even if you did ... You did it to protect the person you loved thd most and that ... is something that not many people can say about themself. You risked your own life to protect hers . " He still looked shocked but at least he stopped crying. I went into the bathroom and grabbed a towel , with that I cleaned up his gloves . He put his head on my shoulder and after a while I noticed he had fallen asleep. I tried to bring him to my bed and pulled a blanket over him. I let myself down on my chair and soon fell asleep.
