(A/N: Yay, here's another fluff chapter. Thank you so much for such nice reviews. ;w; It makes me really happy and want to keep writing this story~ Also, I'm going to post some art of Dreams Come True on my tumblr account: chichinatsu. Unfortunately I can't post here the link, but if you want to check out my art, feel free to do so x3 Now, enjoy this chapter~)
It was unfortunately lunch break now; Marinette didn't feel like lying to her best friend. Though she would actually prefer this kind of confession than yesterday night, with the whole drama. Of course she can't tell any of that to Alya, how will she even tell her that without revealing she's Ladybug or that Chat Noir is Adrien. It's better to lie, she has done that tons of times already anyway. Every time she feels bad about it, but maybe she doesn't need to lie anymore in the future.
Adrien was just day dreaming the whole time, he did answer some questions without paying full attention, but nothing really remained in his head. The only thing what in his mind is floating is the words Marinette wrote on the paper and of course the heart, mostly the heart signs actually. He couldn't help but smirk the whole time. Nino noticed it and bumped with his elbow against Adrien's arm. "Hey buddy, gonna tell me why you're smirking like that or do you want me to take a guess?"
Adrien tried to hide it with his hand, but he was too late to fool Nino. He thought about it for a while and then smiled at his friend. "Take a guess." Nino sighed, shaking his head as if it means that guessing would be too easy. He pointed at Marinette and smiled. "It's because of her right~? So what did she say? You were texting each other right? And don't you dare to lie to me. I saw you smiling at your phone and dude, no one would smile at his phone if it's not from someone special. At least that's in my case with my Alya." He winked at Alya and she just rolled her eyes, though she's actually really happy to hear it.
"Well, Marinette. Care to explain a bit more to me when and how you confessed to Adrien~?" She smirking, leaning with her cheek on her hand. Nino was quite curious about that too, he leaned on the table where Alya was leaning her elbow on. Marinette blushed and didn't really like the eyes on her. She looked at Adrien for some help, but he only smiled at her. Well, it was her idea after all and Alya asked her, so she should be the one answering and not Adrien.
"W-well… I went out to Adrien, because I was really worried that he has been sick for so long and didn't answered my texts… So I visited him. We played some games, talked with each other. And… before I went home, I wanted to tell my feelings to him. It felt like that was the right moment. So yeah, I told him that I… I love him." She blushed till her ears, glancing at Adrien who smiled really happy.
"Yeah and because I actually liked her for quite some time too, I accepted her feelings. We're now a couple~" He was smiling proudly, while Marinette was feeling even more shy and wanted to hide. She wondered how Adrien couldn't feel a bit embarrassed about it, he was even proud. Well, he was also Chat Noir after all and after all those time he finally got to date Ladybug, so that could've been expected. It's also not like Marinette was feeling ashamed about Adrien, it just still unbelievable that she's finally really dating her crush. But when she thinks of Adrien as Chat Noir, it actually makes everything easier. She could talk normal to Chat Noir and she also trust him a lot. They already got a strong bond together and she wishes that bond won't break.
Alya switched her eyes from Marinette to Adrien, then back to Marinette. She put a huge smile on her face and put her hand on Marinette's shoulder while holding with her other hand her thumb up. "I'm really proud of you, Marinette! You've finally done it! You finally confessed to Adrien, I knew you could do it. Alright, because I'm so proud of you, let me treat you to lunch~ And for you guys too, to celebrate for these new love birds~" She keep smiling, while she got her bag and walked out of the door towards the canteen. Marinette usually has some bread as lunch and if not she could just go to the bakery to get something to eat. But getting treated by Alya is also a nice change of pace. After getting their lunch, they sat outside on a bench. They ate together and talked with each other, it was really peaceful. Marinette and Adrien really enjoyed those peaceful times. It was actually a good thing that Marinette said something to Chloé what would make her feel… better again? At least she seems a bit like herself again and luckily not very depressed. They both didn't want to deal with her again, they already did that once… no wait, twice. So it is actually possible to get akumatized twice, they have to take note of that.
The day passed really quickly, it was already time to get home and before Marinette knew, it was almost evening. Her head was still in the clouds the whole day and she didn't even notice the sun going down, only to get replaced by the beautiful full moon. She went on the roof and leaned on the railing, looking at the moon. She laughed softly and looked at Tikki, flying on the left next to her. "Okay, I think I can accept the fact now that Adrien is Chat Noir. No… I already accepted it. I love them both, whenever it's him making cat puns or him smiling kindly at me. How couldn't I realize this before, they both got the same smile. Though Chat Noir seemed happier than Adrien… Was that… because of me? Or could he more be himself as Chat Noir what makes him happy…? I could also be more my confident self, I could be different because no one would know my identity anyway… But I'm glad that Adrien knows now, hehe." She stared at the stars in the clear night sky, thinking about her feline prince.
Tikki hugged Marinette again when she was done talking. "I'm happy for you Marinette. You really deserve this happiness with Adrien." Marinette nodded and thanked the little kwami. Tikki was always there for her. She could tell her everything what she couldn't even tell Alya. Mostly because she knows her as Marinette and as Ladybug. She's really glad that she could have Tikki, Tikki has always been supportive to her and gave her advice whenever needed.
"Good evening, princess~" Marinette turned around on her right to face a big black cat, to face her boyfriend. She chuckled softly and crossed her arms. "Why the pleasant visit, Chat?" Chat Noir was sitting on the railing, but soon got off only to put a kiss on Marinette's cheek. "Payback for yesterday~" He chuckled, then laughed when he saw that Marinette was turning red. "Liked it?" He asked only to tease her. She looked away for a while, still with a big blush on her face. Suddenly she faced Chat Noir with determination in her eyes, she grabbed his arm and pulled him towards her. Their faces where inches apart from each other, just a little bit more and they would be touching each other's lips with their own. They stared into each other's eyes for a while, Chat slowly closing in. Marinette smirked and covered his mouth with her hand. "Bad kitty~ You wanted to kiss me?" She chuckled and took a step back, turning a bit of her back towards Chat, but still looked at him. She winked at him and put out her tongue. "Well, I won't give it to you that easy~" She turned around again and poked her finger against his chest. "Not before I tell you something nice~ You know…"
Adrien was totally taken aback by her action. He totally thought that she wanted him to kiss her. Why else would she pull him so close to her? And she did say that she wanted that the boyfriend would take the first action right? Yes, he still remembered that. But it's not like he dislike it, he loves it how she could be playfully right now and hard-to-get. At least now he knows that she's hers. His ears twitched when she poked her finger against his chest and looked quite… he doesn't really know the right word for it, maybe mischievous, cunning? Well, that's kind of how she looked when she stared in to his eyes again, smirking like that. He quite wondered what that nice something is. He got really curious and is ready to hear what she's going to say about it.
"Well, you know… Previous year on Valentine… you were hit by Dark Cupid. Remember that?" Chat just nodded and she blushed a little, but still smirked. "I kissed you so you would turn back to normal~" Suddenly Chat's legs feel weak, so had to lean on the railing. "Y-you did what?!" Marinette took a step back, holding a finger on her lips. "I kissed you, silly kitty."
That made him feel weak all over his body, so he fell down, supporting on his hands and knees, so he wouldn't hit his face on the ground. Marinette didn't think he would react so strongly at it and got worried. She kneeled down and put her hand on his shoulder. "Adrien, I'm sorry. I didn't know you would hate it so much…" Chat looked at Marinette and then looked at the ground again. "Of course I would hate it! I don't remember a single thing of it. Ahhh, our first kiss, my first kiss of Ladybug, that's something I should've remembered!" He punched the ground softly with his hands, not wanting to make too much noise so Marinette's parents would go up. Marinette was first scared that he would hate her for keeping this a secret, but laughed softly as he only sulked about it. To think that he would get so upset about it, well, she could understand. If Adrien kissed her, but she doesn't remember any of it, she would also get upset. She pushed gently Chat's chin up, so he would face her.
"Adrien, I don't… consider that as my first kiss actually. Because the other party, you, didn't remember any of it. But hey, won't you be happier to have a kiss with our feelings mutual than one-sided and forced?" It seems like Adrien calmed down again, he sat straight and rubbed the back of his head, smiling a bit awkwardly. "Haha, yeah, you're right. Sorry, that was kinda pathetic of me."
Marinette shakes her head and took his hand, to press a kiss on it. "You're never pathetic to me, my prince~" She smiled, liking how the roles are switched now. She feels like she's getting the confidence of Ladybug now as Marinette and she really liked that. Chat was getting flustered, not expecting that at all. It took him some seconds to recover again, holding his hand against her cheek, smiling gently at her. "The same goes for you, my princess."
He slowly and gently pushed her down on the ground, making her face the sky. She stared at Chat Noir, only the right side is getting exposed by the moonlight. Chat Noir getting closer to her face by seconds, just when they were just small inches apart from each other, he whispered to her. "Don't run away this time, Marinette." Marinette chuckled softly and closed her eyes, feeling the familiar touch of a certain special person on her lips. She actually didn't hate to kiss Chat Noir that time, but this is of course different. Now that their feelings are mutual, she could feel like there's some fireworks exploding in her head. She wrapped her arms around his neck and returned his kisses. Slowly she opened her mouth, only to get to meet some unfamiliar hot touch of chat's tongue against her, playing with it in circles. Sharing some hot breath with each other and trying to catch some breath. Marinette opened her eyes half when Adrien drifted apart from their kiss, to catch his breath after kissing for so long. She actually already missed his lips against hers.
After stopping with kissing, they only stared at each other, like they're the only one in the whole world. Both realizing after some minutes that they already French kissed each other on their first kiss. They both looked away with a flustered face, feeling suddenly really embarrassed about it. When they meet each other's glance, they both started to laugh. Marinette sat straight next to Adrien, leaning her back against the railing. "Hey kitty, where did you learn to kiss like that."
Both his cat ears and tail twitched up when she asked that. He played a bit with his tail, not wanting to look at his girlfriend. "W-well… I do watch some movies… I look up on the internet… I also kind of… imagined us kissing…" She looked wide-eyed at Adrien, not expecting from the flirty cat to get so shy and embarrassed when telling how he learnt how to kiss. No words could describe how cute he looks at the moment, playing with his tail and blushing like crazy what could have been seen even though he wears a mask. It's not really something to be ashamed off, because she also did the same with Adrien in her mind. It's only natural for those who are in love. She kind of felt like she wants to tease him, just to be mean when he's showing this weak side to her. "Imagined it with me as Marinette or Ladybug?"' Chat Noir stared at her with wide eyes, hands frozen in the air and his tail on the ground now. Suddenly he turned totally red, looking down, trying to hide his face with his bangs. "B-both… First with Ladybug… but then with you…" Marinette was really flattered by it, so she kissed him on his cheek, just a quick peck. She leaned her head on his shoulder, looking at the stars.
"Hey Marinette…"
"Hm? Yes, Adrien?"
"Well… we don't have school tomorrow and I wonder if you… want to go to my place tonight?"
"Ehh?!" She jumped up, looking at Adrien with a red face. Adrien quickly stood up, waving his hands as sign of denial. "No, no, no, not like that. I… I still wanted to play a game with you. And… I actually just want to spend my time with you as Adrien too…" Marinette looked questioned at him. "But you can't, because…?" He looked down again, while rubbing the back of his neck. "Because I can't really detransform myself here and talk to you as Adrien. What if your parents would go up and see me as Adrien? I can't really explain why I'm at your rooftop. As Chat Noir I could still think of an excuse." Marinette slowly nodded, agreeing with that he said. It would be totally weird if her parents would see her boyfriend on the rooftop, no, to see a friend on the rooftop. She still need to tell her parents that she's dating Adrien. Though they might already know it. She's like an open book after all. She also doesn't mind to go to Adrien's place, she doesn't have school tomorrow after all.
"Alright, come inside first. I want to make myself ready… so I'm staying the night at your place or are we just going to play a game and that's it?" Adrien thought about it and then leaned on the railing, smiling at her. "Well, you could stay over at me if you want~ I got to be longer with you that way after all." She rolled with her eyes and opened the window, letting herself slid in her room on her bed. She went downstairs to get a backpack and fill it with things she need for a sleepover. "Adrien, should I take my cat plushie with me?"
Adrien pouted a bit, crossing his arms. "You don't need a plushie when you have me." Marinette couldn't help but laugh and pet his head. "Alright then, no plushie. Just sit here and wait for a while alright?" Adrien just nodded and Marinette is getting herself ready for the sleep over. She wrote a note for her parents, when they would go to her room and she's not there. At least he doesn't want to worry them. She closed her backpack when she was ready. They both went back to the rooftop and Adrien spread his arms out. "Come into my arms, my lady."
"Adrien, you know that I could turn into your beloved Ladybug and go to your place with my own feet?"
"…Don't want to. Come on, my arms are getting tired." She rolled with her eyes and wrapped her around his name. "Fine then, but don't complain if I'm too heavy." Adrien looked at her with a dumbfounded look on his face. "Princess, I assure you, you're not heavy at all. And I'm strong enough to carry you in my arms to my room." She chuckled and let him carry her in his arms. "Fine, Chat. Let's go to your house already." And so they went. A feline guy in black suit jumping around in Paris with a girl in his arms. It was actually quite enjoyable for her to just get carried. She looked around at Paris, overwhelmed at the sign of it. She never gets enough of, Paris will always look beautiful at night. Just like the night in the amusement park. She really likes to see the different lights shine in the dark.
Adrien let her go when they got in his room. She looked around and sat down on the couch, watching Adrien detransform and giving Plagg some cheese. "How should we actually explain this to your father… or Nathalie?" Adrien just waved it like that wasn't a problem at all. "I will think of an excuse then. Well, I could just tell you that I let you inside early in the morning or something. Don't worry about it, nobody gets in my room without letting me know. Though my dad did come in my room unexpected once, but he usually just doesn't really pay attention to me…" Marinette walked to him to give him a hug. "Hey, your dad cares for you. You know that. He does pay attention to you. Remember when he was targeted by an akumatized villain? Didn't he also show some care for you? You're still his son, Adrien… His only son and maybe his only family he has now. You're important to him." She smiled gently to him, making him pet her head this time. He smiled happier now and nodded. "You're right, thanks Marinette… Hey, I should actually introduce you as my girlfriend to my father. I wonder how he would react." He chuckled, partly thinking it would be funny to see his father expression that his son suddenly got a girlfriend, but then also scared that he won't accept Marinette as his girlfriend like what Chloé did. Marinette gently pulled Adrien a bit, to sit down on the couch. "Yeah… I'm actually a little bit, how should I put this… afraid of your father? I wonder if I will be accepted by him… I mean, your father is an amazing fashion designer. I've been a fan of his work since I was a kid. I don't really want to let him down."
"Don't worry, Mari. I'm also a bit afraid at his reaction on our relationship, but I won't back down if he won't accept it. I will make it so, that he will… that he MUST accept you. I won't give up till then." Marinette was really touched by his words, she leaned her head against his shoulder and thanked him. They sit close to each other like that for a few minutes, then Plagg flew in front of them. "Hey, you two wanted to game right? Don't just sit there and game. Or do you like to sit there so boringly next to each other?" "Plagg!" Tikki screamed and pulled him away. "I'm sorry, I couldn't stop him." She apologized and quickly took Plagg away. Marinette and Adrien could hear them arguing and laughed. Adrien stood up, going to his charm and quickly sits next to Marinette again. "I still need to test this charm of yours." He grinned at her and gave her one of his controls, while turning the TV on. Marinette grinned back and winked at him. "I won't go easy on you."
