WARNING: This fic is Rated M for a lot of reasons... one of them being this. Read with caution.
The next day, Marinette woke up to kisses along her neck as she giggled.
"Stop you stupid cat." She mumbled as she turned around, kissing him all along his mask until she found his lips. She wondered if he ever transformed in the middle of the night, his true human identity sleeping just alongside her.
"My princess...I was wondering when you were going to get up. I must go." Chat whispered against her ear, holding her.
"Come back later sometime..." As she glanced at her clock, "I have school soon ok?"
Chat smirked, getting up and walking over to the balcony. "Until we meet again, Princess."
Marinette watched Chat leave with a leap and into the dawn of the new day. She got up, cleaning and getting ready.
When she had her breakfast and finish packing her bag, Tikki starts to wake up.
"Good morning Marinette, did you see Chat last night?" The kwami recalled Chat at the window before she disappeared out of sight. Marinette blushed.
"You can say that." As she smiled.
At school, Alya greeted her with a hug and kiss on the cheek.
"Hey girl, I missed you yesterday... Never hit me back." Alya grinned.
"Ahhh..." Marinette grinned, "I was held up in my house mostly. Doing a lot of work with my parents, the collection and that stray."
A lot of work...
"You should just adopt him." Alya suggested.
"I'll think about it." She smiled. Shortly after talking about life over the weekend, Alya managed to get pictures of the heroes soaring the rooftops of Paris on different shots separately. Her mind wandered to her intimate night with Chat Noir and how he felt against her. His gloved fingertips running along the curves of her body and making her make such sounds, only held back by the sheer existence of her parents downstairs.
"Are you okay girl?" Alya observed noticing her friend was on edge more than usual.
"I-I'm fine!" As she played it off by staring at Adrien as he walked in. She noticed how his skin glowed and he was more relaxed and chill than before. He took a seat by his best friend.
"Yo man what's up? You looking relaxed, hmmm?" Nino grinned.
"Let's just say I had a good night's rest." Adrien stated, grinning to himself.
"Thinking about your special girl idol Ladybug? C'mon dude, she's a divine beauty with standards." Nino knew of all the girls Adrien liked, it happened to be Ladybug.
"I feel like she's just a normal everyday girl." Adrien said dreamingly, while Marinette eavesdropped the conversation, "She's more than just a hero."
Marinette blushed.
Nino snorted again, "Join the fanclub."
Adrien scowled as Nino laughed. Alya smirked at the quarreling boys.
"So about that Winter Masquerade Ball...you are going right?" Alya asked.
Marinette chuckled nervously, "With who?"
Alya flicked her hair and impersonated a certain someone with his cool demeanor, kneeling on one knee and smiling, "Marinette my princess, would you do the honor of joining me at the ball?" As she held her hand.
Marinette laughed, "Nice try Chat."
Alya hummed, amused, "I was impersonating Adrien, he would definitely call you Princess, yeah?"
Marinette shook her head, "That's Chat with every girl he meets... Except Chloe. He calls her a spring roll from hell."
Alya laughed, "That's my kinda date, hook me up with cunning and sexy if you ever see him. Unless you're too chicken to take Adrien. Or- "Alya gasped, "Is he in an affair with you?!"
"ALYA." Marinette groaned, "Relax for once."
Alya huffed, "Or you can take stubborn and dumb as a rock over here." She nodded to Nino.
"Nino? He's smart Alya." Marinette raised a brow, "He hadn't asked you?"
She rolls her eyes, "Not that I care."
Marinette left that alone to tease her about it later, with the class about to start. However she knew Nino has been planning to ask Alya out at the right time, getting advice from her. Often he would get nervous or Alya would get mad for not noticing.
Her and Adrien though...to the ball? She would never get asked. She would go through as the student body president... Maybe with a group of friends but that was it.
She sighed, slumping to the table as she listened to the lecture, and trying not to stare at Adrien.
During class, the teacher allowed each student to stand and share good news and hopes to achieve with the year coming to a close, big parties and breaks around the corner.
"I'm going to be training for the X-games over the break in California! My trip is paid all-round." Alex grinned.
"Fantastic. I encourage my students to travel abroad to such places like Canada or the United States." The teacher Mr. Reeves said.
"Same for me uh...I'll be training for the Olympics and...my first stop round trip is in California too." Kim added, a bit shyer than usual.
"Are you and Alex traveling together?" Alya teased.
"Yup!" Alex grinned as the class cheered them on, but a few of their friends hushed into teasing them about being a cute couple.
Next Nino stood, "Thanks to you guys I'll be doing a little DJing at the ball this month as my first real gig! And my short film is being evaluated in January so I hope the best to study film elsewhere in Paris maybe."
The class clapped for him as Chloe clapped twice, unamused. Marinette huffed at Chloe's bitterness.
Alya was next, "My Ladyblog hit 1 million subscribers and I'm on my way to study journalism outside of Paris, err...maybe outside of Paris, the UK or Canada! I applied to a lot of places so I'm just chilling until everything get cleared."
The class clapped as Mylene stood up next and talked about her acting opportunities in New York and Switzerland. Next, Nathaniel stood up saying he's getting his comic published finally and securing the rights to his characters and story. Then there was Max, who was collaborating with a transfer student, and working an internship in Paris over the break with him on a project evolving around technology.
Sabrina was going to stand, when Chloe threatened her not to do it or else, with Marinette and Alya as eyewitnesses.
Adrien stood next, "So after graduation I'll be staying in Paris for a few months to finish the season for my father's collection, and will be studying business in America."
Marinette's heart throb, it was sad after realizing all these months this was the inevitable happening. Leaving each other and going about their lives as adults to continue their education and better themselves in the world.
Seeing other people of their interests.
The classed clapped as the teacher acknowledged Adrien for his endeavors.
Marinette stood up next clearing her throat, "After these past few years studying fashion, design, and illustration I decided I'll be studying in America as well! I'm also-"
"Have the audacity to be student body president when you don't act like one." Chloe lashed out.
"Oi!" Nino banged his fist on the table.
Chloe huffed, "You're think you're so inspiring and a perfect example of what a leader is, but when you're doing...indecent things! You're no better Marinette!"
"Chloe that is not necessary at all." Mr. Reeves told her.
Marinette's heart sank as she clenched her fist , "Now hold on a second you-"
"I saw bite marks on her neck!" Sabrina defended.
"I'm personally concerned about her health, what if she pass some disease around? Hiding things like that! Some rep you are. I don't feel safe being around her with those marks on her neck. She should properly explain herself!" Chloe was right somewhat as Marinette grimaced. Oh, if it was so easy to say she had the cunning and hot Chat Noir suck on her neck and make heads turn. She scoffed internally.
The class muttered, some people skeptical looking at Marinette, others having enough of Chloe.
No, this was ridiculous.
"You're picking on my girl again like always." Alya defended Marinette.
"Yeah Chloe, you're always trying to pick at Mari'. Such a pain in the ass." Nino stood up too. "Mind your own business."
"If anything, your dad is no better using his political powers to get everything his little girl wants." Nathaniel's soft voice was harsh and angry. "What is it to you that you care about anyone else?"
"Leave people's private lives alone. You don't know what they're going through, and you don't care." Adrien clenched his fist, glaring at Chloe who was stunned. His eyes glinted harshly, absolutely done with Chloe.
Marinette couldn't take it.
"Class!" The teacher tried.
"Did you do it Adrien?" Kim teased. "I bet you sucked the poor girl's blood no wonder you been sparkling like a vampire."
"He's defensive over his girlfriend." Sabrina huffed.
"S-she's not my girlfriend!" Adrien blushed. The nerve that these people would blame him for standing up for Marinette. He does blame himself, knowing he feels a bit possessive over her, after the strangest night of sucking her blood. He's sorry for leaving such marks on her neck, and would even embarrass himself to say he did it.
If he only wasn't so shy.
"Oi!" Nino turned to Kim.
"I don't wanna hear anything from you Kim especially with you dating shorty, I see hickeys." Alya sang.
"EVERYONE." Marinette raised her voice. "Just let it go. We're disturbing the class." As she got silent, not having the strength to speak. Mr. Reeves was stunned.
"They're spider bites, I left the window open one night while tending a stray cat. May I be excused?" Marinette blatantly lied and then asked. Adrien lowered his head in slight guilt.
Mr. Reeves nodded as Marinette got up with her bag.
Chloe humped, "Think she's better than everyone, please!"
Alya raised her voice, "You jealous little-"
"Miss Alya please!" Mr. Reeves raised his voice. "Chloe. Out my classroom."
Chloe's jaw dropped, "But-"
"You disrupted my lesson and have no right to verbally attack your fellow peer during my lecture. I will not have this. As for your father, mayor or not, I stand by class rules first. Now get, out."
Chloe huffed getting up and leaving. "I'll have him know you insulted him. Consider your job over you prick."
"OUT!" He snarled as Chloe slammed the door, rubbing his temple.
Mr. Reeves stared about the stunned class, "Anyone else? You Sabrina? Kim? Nino? Alya?"
Silence filled the class.
"That's what I thought." Mr. Reeves scoffed. "Now for that pop test in two days. I hope you all studied hard."
Marinette sat outside to get a clear head. She wasn't embarrassed that Chloe put her on the spot, it was something else she said.
How she kept secrets. Like how she was fake. Marinette wasn't like that, and had secrets like most teenage-young adults.
Except those with super powers.
It was mean though how she said it; like Chloe actually was catching on to her absences, but somewhat meaner how people stooped to her level to backlash.
"Marinette?" Her head lifted to her name. She turned seeing her friends standing a distance from her. Sheepish, a little ashamed, but knew they were wrong. In the background, people were in their cliques in the courtyard.
"We're sorry, we shouldn't have stooped that low." Adrien apologized for Alya, Nino, and himself, "As mean Chloe is, she doesn't deserve that. No one does.
"That was very mean. But..." She hugged her friends in a big hug, "Thank you for apologizing to me, and standing up for me. Chloe had it coming."
Alya grinned, "I'm only a little sorry."
They laughed as Marinette caught Adrien looking at her, chuckling.
"Can you believe them? Thinking Adrien would do that. They're jumping on you because you look like a sparkly vampire. Bunch of hypocrites." Nino rolled his eyes.
"At least someone was right about one thing." Alya thought with her hand rubbing her chin.
"What?" Marinette asked.
"Being your booooyyfriiieeend." Alya bursted into laughter as she looked over a blushing Adrien. A thought that probably never crossed his mind and even slightly side glancing to her, made him think thrice.
And she turned away blushing as well, not believing this.
Adrien glanced at the calendar marking the day he was moving out. A lot of things crossed his mind as he thought about the consequences and benefits.
His connection with his father was going to be further limited. But sure he wasn't going to be missing out.
He was halfway done packing, leaving behind the more permanent belongings that was too heavy to move on his own or part of the room.
He wasn't going to miss living here. Sure he would have to get his own way of funding and living eventually, but for the time being he had more than enough savings to take care of himself.
Adrien was living out of his luggage and sleeping on the bare bed, watching night fall as Plagg ate and slept, mumbling about a new quest for better cheese.
Then Adrien fell asleep eventually with his clock reading 6:59.
In a peculiar dream, Adrien finds himself seated in his mostly bare room. The windows to outside bright and blinding to see any further scenery. A shadow stood in front of him, pigtails sticking out the silhouette.
A gloved hand trailed his jaw as he instantly wrapped around the small waist, pressing his cheek to her stomach. Then he slowly start kissing it.
That same hand is running through his hair, setting a fire inside him as it runs through his scalp over and over, making him purr.
Then he's standing, no longer in regular clothes (or think he was). He's clad in his suit, tighter and thinner than usual as he feels naked. The silhouette let's out a familiar chuckle, pulling him by the waistband and making Adrien pin her against the wall.
Ladybug.
Something in those familiar blues and those seemingly redder lips ignite him. He's rutting against her and kissing along her neck, her jaw, and her suit that is seemingly hypersensitive to her, as if that was part of her skin too.
Their hips are locked, grinding and sliding against each other on the wall as their hot breaths overlap with their kisses.
Then Ladybug grabs his hand and makes him touch his own face. He's surprised because his mask isn't there, but she smiles.
"Come now kitty, did you think I wouldn't figured it out already?" Ladybug smirked. "Don't you want to see me?"
Adrien swallowed, his eyes lidded as his fingers brush the lines of Ladybug's mask. Slowly and surely he peeled the skin of the mask, making his lady gasp. A soft groan escaped his lips as he gazed upon the face he least expected.
She grabbed Adrien by the hair, making his hips thrust up into her as her voice drowned out and she reached her peak.
Adrien fell apart watching her come undone.
"A-Adrien..." Marinette gasped between breaths, chest heaving, face flushed, and her suit crumbling away along with his dream.
Oh? This is the reason it's rated M? Oh no, it's only the tip of the iceberg my miraculous sinners. It's only going to get so much better and worse.
Also, do you guys enjoy this pace and length? I'm trying to fix my writing up to par a bit but I assure you I'm on top of it (and school of course started) but I'm revising all the chapters released up to now.
Cheers, and stay tuned for the next update!
