(A/N): Still here! Trying to keep to that updating schedule somewhat but somewhat failing? Anyways, hope you enjoy, was going to make this a lot longer but once again decided to save some more content for later, stay tuned!

A typical Friday night for Marinette usually consisted of a night at home, her face buried in her sketchbook, studiously sketching her latest design idea.

This Friday night, however, was completely different.

The chilled wind blasted in her face and made an absolute mess of her earlier neatly made up hair.

"Aaah!" She squealed as she gripped onto Chat's back a bit tighter. Why had she agreed to go out with him in the first place! This wasn't her intent at all, she was just supposed to say no and be done with it. But of course her mouth got the better of her and she was immediately whisked onto the back of her leash cladded partner without much other say.

Upon hearing her scream, Chat landed on a nearby roof and set her down quickly. They were near the edge of Paris now, so whatever he had in store for her must be outside city limits, odd.

"Are you okay?!" Chat's concerned voice beckons her eyes to meet his. Her face has flushed a shade of red likely from the cold as she gave a small shiver.

"I should be fine… It was just a little scary on your back is all." Immediately she stumbled, "I-I mean, it's not like your back isn't not safe! It's just that I… erg…" She vexed in frustration at her ability to form a coherent sentence.

Chat's nervous face turned into more of a playful smile, "I get it, you probably have never been up so high before and all, I should have known."

Marinette puffed her cheek out in annoyance, "It wasn't the height that scared me."

Chat moved in a bit closer, the heat radiating from his body making her want to move in and get up even closer but she stopped herself.

"Then what are you scared of, Princess?" He murmured in that seductive husky voice, damn him.

"I don't…um…"

Chat's smug looking face made Marinette want to slug him so hard, he was enjoying watching her suffer wasn't he?

"Hmph! Whatever, just take me home." She pouted, looking away from him.

"Aw C'mon Princess, we're so close already!" From the corner of her eyes, she could see his tail was swishing back and forth in amusement.

"I purrrromise you'll love it."

She turned to him with her eyebrows furrowed, "Ugh! Fine, just don't make any more puns!"

He snickered as she began walking around behind him, preparing to climb on his back once again.

"Hold on." He turned so that he was now frontally facing her, making her eyes widen in surprise.

"Chat? What are yo- Hey! Wha-!" She squealed as Chat picked her up bridal style and pulled her in close so that she was literally pressed up against his firm chest.

"This way I can hold onto you better, you'll feel a lot more secure I bet too." He looked down at her and winked, giving her a toothy grin at the same time.

She tried so hard to hide her upcoming blush but it was a failure, her face was dusted in a light shade of pink and she looked away as best as she could from his eyes that just seemed to dazzle in the sunset.

Damn him, he had won this round.

Nothing further was said as Chat leaped off, clearly satisfied with himself as he began humming softly to himself.

He was right about one thing though, she did feel a heck of a lot more secure now. He was gripping her firmly in his arms but not so tight that it hurt. She felt safe, that was certain.

Even though she had dealt with this kind of height often as Ladybug, never before had she been up this high as Marinette, it was certainly frightening but for some reason, being in Chat's arms made it less so.

As the wind began blasting upon her face again she turned her face to the side and began absentmindedly staring at Chat's arms. She hated to admit it but Chat's body was extremely attractive, his arms flexed ever so slightly at the slightest movement she gave. His chest was so broad and so well structured, it certainly didn't help that his entire body was basically pushing up against the skin-tight leather to make everything about it just appear more desirable.

She wanted to slap herself silly when she began to imagine him… With his suit off.

"We're here!" Chat's voice suddenly awoke her out of her half-dazed state. Truth be told, the slight rocking of being held by Chat was almost making her fall into a bit of a slumber.

She felt herself being gently set down, and a part of her felt a little upset when it happened for some reason.

But then she felt her eyes move upward, and she was met with a view that made her gasp aloud.

Before her, was quite possibly the most beautiful garden she had ever had the pleasure of laying her eyes on.

The now moonlit sky just radiated it's brilliant luminous glow and made the small creek in the middle of the florid and vivacious grass just dazzle. Flowers of every color imaginable surged the entity of the entire grove and Marinette was finding it difficult to find any words to describe it's overall radiance.

"Chat… This place is beautiful…" She mummers, her lips slightly parted.

Chat stared at Marinette for a good while as she kept taking in the view, call it his 'excuse' to look at her, but the beauty of the garden was nowhere near as infatuating as Marinette.

"I'm glad you like it…I thought since you're into art and designing and such that uh… Maybe you could get inspiration from this place."

Marinette turned to him and smiled warmly, his heart just filling with butterflies as she did. He had never actually seen her smile like this before, and he would do anything to make sure she never stopped.

"I love it, thank you so much for taking me here."

"I-It was no problem! I come here all the time to think and such." He casually batted his hand, trying not to seem as phased as he was by her illustrious smile.

There was a pause of silence before he continued, "Uh! You can um… Walk around and stuff if you want." He motioned at her, seeing as they were just standing in the same spot quite strangely.

"Ah! Uh right." She stammered as she began to drift around the quaint area.

Curiously she knelt down and began to sniff one of the flowers, it was a large pink rose, and it just smelled divine.

"Did you plant all these yourself?" She asked as she began to lay down in the sea of flowers.

"Er… Yeah… It kinda makes me happy." She continued staring at him, waiting for him to continue, "Y'know it's nice," He said as he began to lay beside her. "To uh… To know that you can have an impact on things, even if nobody sees it."

She paused for a moment and looked at Chat, his head was facing upwards looking at the sky.

"Well, I am seeing it now."

She couldn't hide the foreboding blush as Chat turned his head to face hers. Their faces just inches away.

Chat could smell the faint smell of strawberries emanating off of Marinette, just pure sweetness that even made the flowers floral scent not as appealing. He felt a strong urge from his lips to press them against hers. They were so full… So plump and glossy, he wanted to claim them as his.

Before he could get a chance to act on his urges she turned her head away obliviously and exhaled as she began to stare upwards.

"Marinette…" He whispered, getting her attention quite quickly as he never actually says her name.

"Hm?" She turned to him, her bluebell eyes just piercing his entire being. Her hair was spilled out onto the side to make it look like a waterfall cascading her perfectly sculpted face.

'Gods she is beautiful.' He thought to himself, struggling to come up with the next words.

"I…"

She stared intently at him, and he found it impossible to say what was on his mind exactly.

"Er… We should probably head back, It's getting late and I don't want to keep you too long." He began to sit and, a bit flustered which greatly confused Marinette.

"Oh! Um… Ok." She tried to mask her disappointment in her tone but it wasn't hidden well.

"We can come back some other time, I promise." He smiled at her, making her smile back.

"I'll hold you to it, kitty."
