Marinette & Adrien :

"We meet our Destiny, often by the paths we take to avoid it." ~ Jean De La Fontaine.

It was something that Marinette had learned at her expense. The surreal and surprising conversation she had with Tikki about her Destiny a dozen days ago was now totally realistic and as surprising as ever.

At first she hadn't wanted to believe it, she had even thought that she could try to get around what Destiny had in store for her.

But, that day, when the process of revelation had started, she was far from imagining that she had indeed taken the first step towards her Destiny. This first step, decisive and surprising, which turned out to be the one that would change her life forever. A fortuitous and unexpected upheaval, while being both expected and hoped for. These were the conflicting feelings Marinette had felt since finding out who her partner was.

Chat Noir was Adrien Agreste. Chat Noir was the boy she had fallen in love with, the one who had taken possession of her heart by offering her an umbrella and a sincere smile. The one whose mask she had pierced as a model and obedient boy, to discover a boy aspiring to freedom and joy. He was just asking to be loved and he had become the boy she wanted, and who had haunted her thoughts, for almost two years.

He was the one she had fallen deeply in love with, twice: fortuitous and unexpected.

Adrien Agreste was Chat Noir. Adrien was her incredible partner. Her feline partner, extroverted, loyal, protective and courageous. He was the one who always stood beside her and who never hesitated to stand between her and danger. The boy she had placed her entire trust in, including, for her own life. He was her best friend before he became more than that. So much more than that in her eyes and in her heart: fortuitous and unexpected.

At first glance, Adrien was different from Chat Noir. He was more discreet, more introverted, calmer and, above all, much less boastful. The place the feline was gaining in her heart was growing even more each day. Yet she had found herself over time to hope that these two boys were one. The more that idea had permeated her head, the more she began to find similarities between the two teenagers. Adrien was also brave. Adrien was also loyal and sincere. Adrien was also protective and caring. As for Chat Noir, he too could moderate himself and be attentive, sensitive and phlegmatic. Adrien had finally revealed himself to be Chat Noir, as she had dreamed so much: hoped and expected.

Yes, Marinette had been swayed and pulled between all kinds of conflicting feelings. Caught between apprehension and hope. Stuck between doubt and uncertainty. But today, she understood, well, exactly why…

Her morning reflection was interrupted by a vibration of her phone. The girl stretched and yawned, before leaning over to reach for the object on her nightstand.

Unsurprisingly, she saw that Adrien had also thought of her when he woke up. A gentle smile stretched her lips as she read the message from her beloved.

* Happy Valentine's Day, my Princess. I love you. I already miss you. *


* I love you too, my kitty. Happy Valentine day. I can't wait to see you again. *

A radiant smile stretched across Adrien's lips as he read his girlfriend's response. He put his phone down on his desk then went into the bathroom to take a shower.

He came out of the bathroom, about twenty minutes later, transformed into Chat Noir, and left the Manor, directly through the window.

Gabriel Agreste and his secretary were away for the weekend. They had to make an appearance at a very prestigious London fashion show, to which they had been invited by Audrey Bourgeois. The Mayor's wife had not given the famous Designer the opportunity to refuse.

This absence offered Adrien the possibility of leaving the Manor easily. When his father was away, the Gorilla spent his time reading comics or researching on the internet to buy superhero figurines: limited edition obviously ! It was even too easy for the boy to escape the surveillance of his bodyguard.

Chat Noir only jumped on a few rooftops before dropping loosely into an uncrowded alley. He checked carefully that he was completely out of sight, then whispered the words allowing him to lose his transformation.

He left the alley, and began to whistle cheerfully: today, he was going to surprise his girlfriend!


"Marinette, you have a visitor!" cried a male voice.

"I'm coming dad!" she replied back.

Tom Dupain looked attentively and surprised at the visitor standing on his doorstep.

The young blond boy had swapped his usual blue jeans for dark gray ones. A black duffle coat and a blue scarf protected him from the cold winter temperatures. He held in one hand a composition of three sumptuous roses: two red and one white. With his other hand, he massaged nervously the back of his neck.

It seemed to him that the young man was about to open his mouth to say something when, at the same time, footsteps were heard on the stairs and then in the hallway downstairs.

Sabine Cheng came up behind her imposing husband and a sweet smile stretched her lips as she stood next to Tom and recognized Adrien.

"Good morning Adrien! It's a real pleasure to see you", said Marinette's mother sincerely, before turning to her.

The young girl was indeed frozen in the stairs when she saw her handsome boyfriend in the doorway.

"Sweetie, do you have something to tell us?" she added mischievously looking at Marinette, her eyes shining with love and tenderness.

Marinette's heart pounded in her chest as she felt the warmth spread over her face.

"It was a surprise: Marinette didn't know that I would come", whispered, as calmly as possible, Adrien, while masking his growing nervousness.

She gave him a grateful smile as she descended the last steps of the stairs to join him.

When she found herself facing him, he greeted her, then gently grabbed one of her hands and brought it to his lips to kiss her knuckles. He then handed her the bouquet of Roses, while savoring the irresistible pinkish color which had just adorned his girlfriend's cheekbones.

"I would like ... If your parents agree, of course" , he clarified with respect, glancing at them. "I would like to take you for a walk along the Seine."

Marinette then turned to her parents, who didn't wait a single extra second to verbalize their agreement, with great enthusiasm.

"With pleasure, Adrien", Marinette breathed, before grabbing something to cover up to face the Parisian freshness.

Sabine and Tom watched the two teenagers walk away. Then the baker turned to his wife with a mischievous smile.

"I bet you he's asking her today to become his girlfriend." he announced in a confident voice.

"And I bet you they're already dating, and they've even kissed." she replied, with certainty.

Tom Dupain chuckled loudly, before realizing his wife's words fully. He froze and swallowed.

"You really think… Oh, my Bread! My darling little girl kissed her first boy!" He cried, turning pale.

"Tom, breathe. She's going to be sixteen, it's normal for our bun to finish baking", she replied in a reassuring voice.

"You are right… But if he breaks her heart, I would not hesitate to make his body disappear in the oven."

"I think everything will be fine for them, Tom. Relax", Sabine breathed calmly, placing a soothing hand on her husband's arm.


Marinette and Adrien were walking, hand in hand, along the south bank of the Seine.

The two teenagers were rather silent, but they often gave each other languid looks and soft smiles. But, Adrien knew his Lady well, and he could see that her gaze was more mischievous and mysterious than usual.

"Do I have a milk mustache on my face, princess?" he asked in a teasing voice, following yet another smirk from his beloved.

She rolled her eyes at his pun and stopped to face him.

"Don't you have something to tell me, kitty?" she asked, crossing her arms over her chest.

He swallowed hard at the wry face of the girl, usually so sweet and happy.

"Well…" He ran a nervous hand around the back of his neck. "It's that.. Uh.. You see... Earlier this morning when I went to buy the roses .. Uh... I.. I.." he stammered.

"You?" She invited him to continue, frowning questioningly.

"I .. I met Nino who was also buying a bouquet for Alya. And…Please, my Lady, stop staring at me like that. I can almost feel my cat ears droop over my head and my tail nervously whip the ground."

Marinette tried not to laugh as she perfectly imagined what he had just described. She managed to keep, she didn't know how, her look falsely severe and offended, while waiting for the end of Adrien's explanations. Even though she already knew what he was about to say to her. But it was so funny to see that, for once, it was his turn to be uncomfortable in front of her and search for his words.

"Continue", she asked, in a tone a little softer.

"He was surprised to see me. Then he asked me who the flowers I was buying were for, I couldn't help but tell him they were for you. Then… I guess he told Alya… and she rushed to call you, didn't she?" He asked, a little worried.

Marinette sighed and nodded.

" Alya asks for details. After that, I didn't understand anything. It was a series of monosyllables and onomatopoeias that came out of her mouth at full speed."

" I am sorry. I should have been more discreet but …" Adrien apologized, looking down at his shoes.

"It's okay, Minou. I just wanted to tease you a little! I'm not going to hide our relationship. On the contrary! We'll just have to wait a bit to make Chat Noir and Ladybug official, okay? Otherwise either Alya will have a heart attack, or she will discover our secret identities…. or both!"

"Both, for sure" he chuckled.

"Definitely!" She replied, chuckling too.

Adrien looked at her tenderly. The laughter of his beloved was an absolutely perfect and intoxicating melody for his ears.

He looked around and saw with pleasure that they were alone on the promenade. He then took her hand and pulled her to a bench. He pulled out a small square, red and pearly envelope from his pocket, and handed it to his girlfriend.

She looked at him in surprise and grabbed the envelope. She hurriedly opened it to take out a small card on which her boyfriend had written, in his most beautiful handwriting, a quote.

"There is no love or friendship, which crosses the path of our Destiny without leaving a mark forever."

When she looked up at him, she was caught by his tender and loving gaze.

He grabbed gently one of her hands and laced their fingers together. He then cleared his throat and spoke again.

"Marinette, what I want more than anything is that the footprint you leave in my life and in my heart becomes indelible", he breathed, lifting her hand and placing it on his heart.

He plunged his emerald gaze into her sapphire eyes.

"I know that we are still very young and I also know that you and I have only been together since yesterday. It may seem totally sudden to you, but what I also know is that we are linked to each other. Whether by Destiny, by Miraculous magic, or by any other earthly or supernatural force, nevermind. I know I loved you since the first day, and I know you too. As Adrien or as Chat Noir, I will always stand by your side.

He tightened his grip on her hand, feeling his heart beat faster and faster in his chest.

"Marinette. My princess. My Lady ... You, the chosen one of my heart, I promise to love you, today much more than yesterday and much less than tomorrow", he declared sincerely, putting his other hand on her cheek and gently stroking it.

The young girl, moved, could not restrain the tears which streamed down her cheeks. Without warning, she plunged into Adrien's arms and kissed him passionately as if nothing else existed in the universe. It was as if the earth had stopped turning beneath their feet, suspending their embrace and their kiss in a timeless bubble.

"All these romantic displays are going to frighten my camembert eventually" Plagg hissed, before a little red paw blocked his mouth.

"Ssht! They are happy, let them live their moment without interrupting them with your sarcasm, stinky sock", Tikki replied sternly, tucking Plagg's head inside Marinette's bag.

A few moments later, Marinette and Adrien got up to resume their walk. Feeling a few flakes fall on his face, the boy grabbed the black umbrella the girl had been holding so far and opened it above their heads. The umbrella, the same one that had opened Marinette's heart, now sheltered them from the snow that was starting to fall.

Adrien put an arm around Marinette's waist and pulled her tightly against him. The young girl didn't need to be asked to snuggle up against him and lay her head on his shoulder.

In front of them, the landscape slowly covered with a white coat, taking on the appearance of a magnificent postcard.

Thus, together, tight against each other, and happier than ever, they continued to advance along the Seine. And it is in the same way that they would continue to advance, forever, on the road of their Destiny...
