When Chat Noir comes up with the bright idea to confess to Ladybug in Chinese, of all things, little does he know that she may know more about this particular language than he thinks. After all, she is Marinette Dupain-Cheng, the girl with a half-Chinese background. But how was Adrien to know that? Aligned with season 2, so may contain possible spoilers. Enjoy, R&R!

When Ladybug suffers a near-fatal accident and is presumed dead, it is up to Adrien/Chat Noir - who has discovered Ladybug's secret - to help her through her painstaking recovery and reacquaint her with herself. All this while trying to save Paris on his own without losing himself in the process. Adrinette/Marichat/Ladynoir

When Marinette isn't Ladybug she's a shy teenage girl, quiet, and small. Stuck in the bad end of town with no food to feed Tikki and no way to get home but walk, she only has one person to turn to. Well, one cat. But he's about to run out of time and he hasn't got food either. So how can Ladybug and Cat Noir get home without finding out who the other is? By playing dress up. Duh.

-AU- Marinette Dupain-Cheng's life isn't going as planned: twenty-six, recently dumped, and running her parents' bakery. The highlights of her day are the emails sent by her mysterious pen pal, Chat Noir. That is, until handsome model Adrien Agreste starts swinging by the bakery after hours. But how is he to know the Ladybug he loves is standing right in front of him?

Marinette traced her fingers down the smooth lines of the magazine, a blush creeping to her face. It wasn't just his toned, muscular body that set her aflame, although that was certainly a bonus. It was his eyes. The way his body appeared, languid like a summers day. His body said relax but his eyes said devour. She'd seen those eyes before...

Adrien Agreste has never been an expert in controlling his emotions. When feelings for his classmate in pigtails begin to arise, he can't stop himself from seeing her any chance he gets—even as Chat Noir. Yet with all budding romances comes the inevitable (and quite unintentional) hurt, leaving Marinette to question her crush on Adrien and why a certain feline is making her blush.

Cat Noir is on a late night run about town when he catches sight of a lone ice skater. To his great amazement it's his classmate, Marinette.
