Warning-Fluff, tooth rotting fluff, some family fluff, some love fluff, but this is fluff. Also some attempts at humor, but mostly fluff.

Summary- Chat wanted some Macaroons, and after feeding a stray cat they keep coming back. After a while he's introduced to the rest of the family as Marinette's boyfriend. One shots of there relationship, not chronological or anything, but all the same overarching story.

Note- First time we are going to THE PAST! *dun dun DUN*... No but seriously this takes place only a few months after Start, and WAY before Biker Girl. Just want to reiterate, this is all the same story and relationship, just not told in any specific order.

Featuring Confused Chat, jealous Marinette, some cuddling, and a serious but nice talk.

Chat Noir walked through the side door of the Dupain-Cheng's bakery, they had given him a key only a few weeks into his new relationship, along with some simple large overcoats and pants on the roof, so he could get into the Bakery in a number of ways without being seen even through the front door.

He locked the door behind and walked into the house part of the bakery, tapping the wall along the way to let anyone near know he had arrived.

His cat ears flicked as he heard Tom around the corner, he was around this house enough by this point that he could easily identify each of the three by there footsteps(although Tom's were the easiest to differentiate).

"Hello Tom, good day?" he asked as he turned the corner to where Tom was walking out of the living room, heading to the kitchen he presumed.

"Rather good Son" he answered with a smile(it was just an affectionate term, but being called 'son' never failed to send a thrum of happiness through him) "me and Sabine are going to make dinner, are you able to stay? We are making breaded chicken."

"That sound meow-vilous, and I have the time to stay as long as that's all right with you." He didn't want to oppose, although honestly having a Dupain-Chang cooked meal with his girlfriend sounded like the best thing in the world right now.

"No problem at all Son." Tom said still smiling "Fair warning though, Mari was a bit quiet today."

"Anything particularly wrong?" he asked concerned, he hadn't seen anything wrong with Marinette earlier today, but then again he wasn't exactly close to her as Adrien, he never had been but she seemed to have just drifted away even more since she started dating him as Chat. He never put much thought into it, him as Chat was not him as Adrien, there were difference circumstances and they had had different talks, so on the whole he didn't care. But the thought that it had caused him to miss something going wrong with his Princess was distressing.

Tom must have seen it(probably the ears or tail, they gave a lot away despite Chat not being able to see them or be aware of them himself) and he clapped Chat's shoulder in comfort "Nothing to bad, seems like she just had a lot on her mind. Just go and keep her company an everything will be fine."

Chat nodded and went towards Marinette's room as Tom went on his way, he didn't hear Sabine anywhere so he figured she was already in the kitchen waiting for Tom.

As he got to Marinette's room he made sure to knock before coming in, and when there weren't any shouts of him to wait or leave he walked in. Marinette was at her desk working on her homework, although given the general lack of motion and kind of blank expression on her face he didn't think she was that interested in it.

"Hey purr-incess, lovely to see you today." in his normal teasing tone hoping to get a reaction from her. And he did as she smiled and looked up as he got closer, and he couldn't resist giving her a quick kiss on the forehead, which caused her smile to widen just a bit,

"Hey Alley Cat, you mind sitting on my bed for a minute, I'll be done real quick."

Not sure why he needed to be on the bed for that, but he went with it, sitting on her bed watching her finish, noticeably more animated then when he had first walked in.

She did finish rapidly, he barely noticed the time passing as he just watched her(he was good at waiting in general, and with Marinette in the room it was even easier). However what she did next he did notice, as after he put her school stuff away she walked over to where he was and gently pushed him down.

He went with it, it's not like Marinette could actually push him around seeing as he was a legitimate superhuman and she wasn't, but if she was being this pushy he was willing to see what she wanted.

And what she wanted seemed to be to cuddle, as once he was on his back she helped push him onto her pillows, then laid next to him, her head on his chest and arms around him.

"You OK Princess?" he asked slightly worried, it's not like they never cuddled like this before(they were both rather physically affectionate), but it came rather out of the blue this time.

"I'm fine My Knight, just thinking." was Marinette's answer(and being called her 'Knight' was even better then when Tom called him 'Son').

"Thinking about what? Anything this lowly cat could help with." he asked half in jest, and got the desired smile from her.

"What exactly is 'lowly' about you you mangy superhero?"

"Mangy!?" He explained in the most over dramatic fashion he could without moving either of them. "I am in perfect health thank you very much!" the answering giggle was worth gold to him(and after dating for a while even he admitted he was an absolutely hopeless romantic at this point).

As her giggles died down she asked him "do you remember when we had that talk about everything? You said something like 'see what we discover'?"

"Something like that Princess, why did you discover something?" he asked curiously, not sure what she could have discovered, but always up for learning more about her.

"Something like that Chat. I think it's more like figuring something out. In this case I think I'm the jealous type."

"Jealous? You?" he asked confused. That certainly wasn't what he had been thinking of, not even close. Heck he figured he'd be the more jealous of the two of them, and even then he wouldn't describe himself as the jealous type, not really.

"Yes Chat, me." she answered him smiling. "It bothers me when other girls look at you. Ladybug is one thing, you two are friends, you've known each other for a wile now and she always turned you down, even if either of you were interested it's to late, so you can do you're pseudo flirting or whatever it is.

But other girls, they make my skin crawl. Going onto the Ladyblog and reading about some girl commenting on how handsome you are, or you save some stupid girl from getting flattened by an Akuma and she looks at you all adoring.

I hate it, I absolutely hate it, my skin crawls like there are ants in it at the mere idea. You're mine." her hand was digging into his suit at the chest, felt but not hurting.

Well that was...a lot. Not so much that she was jealous, he hadn't seen that coming but it wasn't like he didn't know what jealousy was, but more that it was something she had clearly thought of and truly bothered her.

"You know I'm yours right Princess?" he tried, not really sure how to handle this, trying to help others with there emotions was new to him in general much less his girlfriends.

"That's not the point Alley Cat." she answered some comforting fire back in her voice "I'm not jealous that I think they have a chance, or even that they have a crush I mean I'm dating you I know better then them how great you are." That gave him a nice ego boost to hold over her later, but not right now.

She continued her thought "My problem is that they think they have a chance at you, that they could hold my cat, feel my Knight, kiss MY boyfriend."

"Sounds more like possessiveness, not jealousy." that wasn't the smartest thing he'd ever said but it was the first thing he had thought of.

"Maybe My Knight, but that doesn't change how I feel."

He hadn't wanted to bring it up, but there was a simple solution he had in mind, one he had been thinking of for a while "do you wish we could date, out in the open?" At her questioning gaze he elaborated "other people wouldn't think they'd have a chance if they knew I had a girlfriend, and we could do thinks like go on walks and eat out." he almost dreaded her answer, because he knew that regardless of her answer they couldn't go out on dates and be public, dating her at all was a risk but it was to late for that(Marinette would chase him down and find him if he ever broke up with her over fear of someone else).

Her answer surprised him "honestly not really. I mean dating out in the open always sounded great to me, but after us dating for a while, sounds like a lot of hassle to. I won't lie to you Chat, I do wish we could do some other things, go shopping together or something, but mostly I prefer this. Just being with you, no distractions just us having fun, learning, not being judged, and to be honest I don't think people knowing would stop other girls from looking at you, and me getting jealous." she waited a moment before asking him "would you prefer more open dating?"

He thought for a moment on how to answer that, trying to get his answer straight. "I don't know really. I always dreamed of stereotypical dating, going out, watching movies, fancy restaurants, the whole deal. But on the other hand I really love being here, it feels more like home then, well anything has in a long time, plus your here and that's been amazing so far." he said directing a smile at her, getting a smile in return.

He continued though "I just don't think I'd prefer anything over this really, being with you, here." He shrugged "I just don't know, but I think I do prefer this, not being watched or having to act."

He was somewhat mollified, it was a topic they'd have to revisit he was sure, but at least for the moment they were fine, everything was still working. But one thing did still tug at him.

"What brought this on?" he asked, because while this may have been building for a while something in particular brought it out today, to make her desire contact so much and for her parents and him to notice now.

"What do you mean?" she asked innocently, bluebell eyes wide and blinking at him, he wasn't fooled for a second(although he was enamored).

"You know exactly what I mean Princess, why think so much about it now."

She huffed at him, probably at getting called out, but reluctantly answered "it's nothing, just something stupid."

He frowned at that "it upset you, so even if it is stupid I care enough to ignore that."

She stared at him stubbornly, she stared back. She relented after a moment(luckily as he didn't think he'd ever win a true battle of wills with her if she got stubborn about it) and held him a bit tighter before answering him.

"There's this annoying girl in my class named Lila, she's the biggest liar I've ever seen. I mean it's not that she lies all the time I really don't have room to complain about that, but that she just tells lies about anything that might make her look better no matter how piratical or reasonable it is. She's been going on for weeks now about how she's Ladybug's best friend and knows who she is and so on."

"Sounds annoying, although with how much your class see's me and LB seems like an easily broken lie." was his only comment, he was in that class and he knew Lila was a liar, possibly even more then Marinette since he didn't think she knew about the whole 'having the fox Miraculous' lie, and it had never made sense to him.

Marinette shrugged "I don't know, sometimes I think she's honestly just stupid but has enough charisma to ignore it, or maybe she's just so used to moving around thanks to her parents that worrying about long-term doesn't matter to her."

She shook her head(her hair tickled his chin) before going back to her original answer "nothing was really different today, but someone brought you up, so she kept mentioning you after that, acting like she knew you, implied you may even be interested in her except Hawk Moth was around."

"Sooooo, who brought me up if not you Princess?" he teased, really she seemed to have everything else figured out, Lila was a liar, Marinette got jealous(or possessive), now she was cuddling with him to make it all better.

"Nathaniel, you know Evillustrator. I avoid talking about you now to avoid giving anything away."

"That's the boy that wanted to date you right?" he asked.

"Is that all you remember about him Chat?" she asked with a smile.

"Well it's a good memory, not him wanting to date you, but he was how we really met for the first time."

"That's true, remind me to bake some raisin cookies later to share with the class, they are his favorite."(she knew so many of those little facts, so thoughtful)

"What, no double chocolate?" referencing his favorite cookies.

"Well you are a good pillow, so maybe."

"Am I just a pillow to you now?"(banter and cuddling, a great way to pass time in his opinion)

"I don't know, want to try and spend the night and see?" she asked impishly smirking at him as he started stuttering, causing her to laugh.

"Oh Alley Cat, you're to pure for your own good." he had no real comeback for that as he knew she was teasing and not even an actually innocent sleepover would be in the discussion for a long time to come.

It was almost an hour until Sabine knocked on the trapdoor and told them it was dinner time, the only movements either had made was Chat had started rubbing her back and she began petting his head causing him to start purring and he didn't stop until he was down the steps following Marinette to dinner.

Life was good, sometimes talks were needed, sometimes you learned things, but life was good.

More serious then I had originally planned. When I first started this chapter(pretty much right after last one) it was just going to be Marinette complaining to Chat about being jealous and Screw Lila, but as I was writing it got more and more serious since I want the two to talk honestly.

But eh, it had lots of cuddling and Chat was happy so it's all good.

Next time I think a normal day from Sabine's POV.
