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- So as you might have gathered from the title of this chapter, talk about sex.
That's actually basically the entire chapter, Marinette feels it's time for that talk, and Chat doesn't know how to deal with anything right now.
And friendly reminder, age's are vague but they are older then the show, no creepy kid stuff even mentioned here thank you, they are of age at this point.
Marinette was hoping for some advice, she didn't think the advice would be very helpful, in fact she was sure she knew what the advice would be, but she still wanted it.
She had talked to Tikki, but while Tikki was amazing for a lot of things, this was something the Kwami just couldn't understand, she didn't have the proper bodily functions. So her only advice was the advice Marinette already knew, to just talk about it.
So Marinette had waited until Sunday to find her mother early in the morning to ask for advice, advice for a talk she and Chat needed to have later.
"Mama, can we talk for a minute?" she asked her mother who was watching TV.
"No problem dear, is something wrong?" Sabine asked seemingly worried(note to self, try looking less like a guilty mess when you just want advice).
"No just a question Mama, um where's Papa?" glancing about, she loved her father, however this was not a talk she wanted him anywhere near.
This seemed to be the exact right, or wrong, thing to say as Sabine instantly gained an understanding look, "I think I see. No worries you're father is out getting some groceries for dinner. So girl problems right? Just what type?"
"Not exactly girl problems Mama."
Sabine's rebuttal was pretty much immediate "So boy problems, or in this case cat problems. Which is still problems for girls."
"Mama this is serious!" sometimes she felt like her mother didn't quite take her problems as seriously as she should.
"I love you Mari, but everything is serious with you, especially about guys you like, so why don't you sit down and ask me what you want to ask me before you talk yourself out of it." Sabine patted the couch next to her waiting patiently.
With a small sigh Marinette sat down next to her before taking a deep breath. "Mama, I think it's time me and Cat have a talk and I just don't know how to do it."
Sabine's understanding look only grew stronger "I understand Mari, but you know how this works, sit him down and talk to him no matter how embarrassing you find it."
"Mama!" she protested, just talking about something like that with Chat was to much(she could barely think about it without it becoming to much for her).
"Marinette I understand, I really do, you wouldn't believe how many problems your Father and I had about these things at first, nor do you want to hear about them. That being said the only reason you'd bring this up is if you want this, and you know fully well there's only 1 way to get there without feeling like a bully or like you're trapping him."
That wasn't what she had wanted to hear, it was what she expected to hear, but not what she wanted to hear.
"Alright fine Mama, Chat's coming over later, I even have a surprise for him, and we'll talk about this first."
Sabine raised an eye brow at the 'surprise' but simply nodded and patted Marinette's head(she was not Chat and did not enjoy being patted like this, but she supposed it was fine with her mother).
This was going to be horrible.
She was leading Chat to her room after dinner, holding his hand(even through the gloves his hands were always so warm, she'd never actually felt his hand be cold before even after just holding something cold).
She was calm, she was collected, or at least that's what she convinced herself of, Chat being there actually really helped in that department, something about Chat being there just made things easier for her(like he always did).
Of course she hadn't yet told Chat why she was intent on bringing him up to her room to talk alone, but she was fairly certain he'd get to nervous to come up and talk if she did.
Her Mother was distracting her Father thankfully so they made it to her room quickly and without any fears of being interrupted for a good long while.
They got to her room and she sat Chat down next to her on the bed(still holding his hand of course) when he made an observation.
"Last time we sat like this to talk we started our relationship, so I'm guess this is another serious talk?"
"Yes Alley Cat, another serious talk, but just like last time nothing bad I purr-omise."
At that he gave her a nervous look "I wasn't worried about anything bad until you made a pun, you normally hate my puns."
She gave him a deadpan look, she had just been trying to make him comfortable so of course he turned it back on her.
He threw his hand up in surrender(his other hand wasn't leaving hers any time soon she had decided) "Alright Princess it was a bad joke."
She sighed, and was aware she was at least partially stalling, much like all those months ago she had to just do it, every time she stalled or avoided it would just make it harder.
"OK Chat, you're going to freak when I say this, but I want to talk about sex." Her face burned at the admission, she squeezed his hand, and just barely held back from hiding her face entirely.
At the very least it was nothing to his reaction as he went as red as Ladybug' suit, his spine going stiff, and his eyes now wide(it said a lot about Chat that she was the bold one in the relationship).
"Chat calm down, come back to me, calm down." she said soothingly, this was bad enough as is there's no way she was going to let him collapse or run away and make her do this again.
Once it seemed like he was breathing again she continued "I'm not saying we are having sex any time soon, but we've been dating for a while now, we do need to talk about this eventually." and OK she'd admit to herself she was kind of looking forward to it, she was a teen to after all, but she didn't want to spring that on him with no warning in the future.
"I mean, I didn't think, I thought" stammered Chat(a great sign).
"Chat, did you think I was going to say wait until marriage?" she asked somewhat amused(which was helping keep her calm even more now that she could just focus on his silliness). He didn't answer but judging by the way his eyes darted around she wasn't far off, causing her to roll her eyes. "OK Chat I get that you're a perfect gentleman and all, but really? Forget how exactly you thought the possibility of me getting married to a super hero would work, or your secret identity getting involved, but you thought I was going to have a hot boyfriend for how long without sex? Like a decade? I do in fact have needs to, and you make those needs much needier."
That was a little strong(and sounded ridiculous), but she thought she was slowly getting through to him as his blush finally dropped back into the 'pink' range rather then red, and his spine loosened somewhat.
"Chat I'm not saying this needs to be some long conversation or that this will be the only time we will ever talk about this, but we do need to cover a few things."
"Like what." he asked shyly still not making eye contact, but it was progress.
"First off, can we? I mean with you're suit is kind of in the way and I don't trust not recognizing you without it, is there a way to make a zipper or make parts of it vanish?" she'd never actually thought about changing her suit beyond the power ups like water or ice, and even if she had she had no way to explain that knowledge to Chat, so she'd let him tell her.
"I mean, um. Sorry let me start over. Yes I can, I mean I've gone to the bathroom here and everything, did you think I change back and forth every time?" He asked finally calming down(FINALLY), as for what he said though.
"Yeah I guess. I never really thought about it before." honestly she had never had to go to the bathroom as Ladybug and she pointedly didn't think about Chat and any situation that may strip him in any way, shape, or form(or at least she pointedly didn't think of those things outside of her room when alone, or in the tub for a nice long soak).
He smirked at her, still a bit shaky and his eyes still darting around like he was looking for some trick or trap, but a semblance of his typical attitude was back. "No the entire suit is magic and can be changed at will, within reason of course I can't like turn it into a 3 piece suit or anything. But turning the bell into a zipper? Easy."
(Don't do it, don't do it, don't do it, don't do it. This is hard enough as is don't do it, don't do it, don't do it)
"So you can make you're bell into a zipper? Can you show me."(STUPID)
"Sure, easy" he seemed to focus for a moment eyes shut, then he grabbed his bell and pulled down an inch or so, zipper-teeth appearing behind it while the bell looked the same. Before he could pull it back up though she reached over and grabbed the bell, stopping him, her other hand squeezing his other hand for a moment.
She pulled down a bit, confirming it was still a zipper, pulled back up to where Chat had had it, the teeth turning back into plain leather behind it, then she pulled down, and down. Down until the bell was by his belly-button, defined pecs and the top of his abs bare(he wasn't big, actually just the perfect size to hug, but he was very well defined).
He froze again, his face shooting back to it's previous bright red, his blush going down his neck.
She leaned forward and planted a single, solid, kiss on his chest just over his heart. Before pulling back and calmly zipping him back up (internally she was shrieking and her heart was trying to choke her with it's intense beating, but she looked calm at least). He made some sort of strangled gasp noise but she ignored it.
They sat there for almost a minute, Chat frozen and red, her gripping his hand hard(hard for a normal human at least, he may not even notice) and a completely fake serene look on her face.
Finally she decided to move on because if she didn't they may just never move again. Her voice shook just a little, but she was simply happy she wasn't a stuttering mess.
"Well that answers that question, Mama has gotten me a box of condoms without asking so we should be good on that front for a while whenever we do start. Next question, just because Mama and Papa would kill me if I never asked, no diseases right? I'm clean of course."(in a way her extreme embarrassment over the chest kiss was good, she couldn't get any more embarrassed now).
He gave a jerking nod, which she took as an 'all clean', thus moved on(her heart had finally stopped trying to choke her, now it was only trying to deafen her).
"OK that's good, no weird magic-things I need to worry about right? No porn magic that destroys birth control or anything stupid like that." she didn't think there would be, but while she could ask she would.
A jerking shake of the head(this was an efficient conversation if nothing else).
She took a deep breath, "You are a virgin right? I'm not judging you I just want to know if this is something we'll be figuring out together or if you already know" she was certain he was but assuming had never helped anyone(and if he wasn't she'd have some serious trouble not finding that other girl and making her disappear).
Another nod, this time shaking like he was shivering, but still a clear nod.
Another question she hadn't actually thought she'd have the guts to ask "Can we try oral before then?"(her heart was choking her again, and it was helped this time by her melting brain trying to forget what breathing was).
This time he actually seemed to choke on air, coughing hard. She held his hand and rubbed his back gently, not wanting to make things harder for him.
"Whatever you want Princess." finally came his voice rough from the cough, head pointed away from her. It was progress though.
"Alright last question, anything major I should avoid starting out? Any big no-no's?"
He shook his head, still shaking from the cough and still a darker pink.
Luckily that was all the questions she had had for that day(which was good as she wasn't sure either of them could survive much more right now).
She reached over to her bed stand(hands still connected, the only thing that was keeping her from running right now) and grabbed what appeared to be a cheap book with a cardboard cover, and handed it to him.
"What's this?" he asked tiredly, seemingly still expecting another embarrassment trap, which did get a small chuckle out of her, which caused him to finally make eye contact with her again, smiling.
"This is a surprise I made for you, Manon's class were told to make short stories about you for class. When I heard about it I asked for copies of everyone's work, which was hard as I had to ask all the parents, printed it out on nice paper, and bound them all into a book."
He looked at her surprised, and obviously touched, his blush just a pale pink now, but she thought it was from a different type of embarrassment now. "So these are just the kids short stories about me?" he asked seemingly in wonder, previous conversation, at least temporarily, forgotten in favor of honor at his gift.
He was still so sweet for having been a super-hero for so long.
"That's right my Knight, little girls writing about you saving princesses and slaying dragons, little boys writing about being your sidekicks. I thought we could lay don and you could read it to us." A good wind down from there last conversation.
He gave her that smile, like she was the most wondrous thing to exist, his entire face lighting up, and those hours of talking to the parents, printing, and binding were all completely worth it.
She tugged him down by there connected hands, and he laid down next to her, opening the book one handed wile she turned the page with her other hand.
It'd be several hours until he had to leave if he wanted to get up in the morning as a civilian without anyone noticing(and she had no idea how he could just disappear for so long much less also be here for meals, and never seemed to have any problems).
There hands had been linked the entire time.
This chapter took longer then I intended to get out, I got distracted mid-way through with other things which basically doubled the time it took to write this. I don't feel bad if it takes me say a month to write a chapter because I'm writing it, but if I can make something in 2 days but keep it back for a week then I feel like I was just teasing people.
Also no more 'talking' chapters for a while, I didn't really want this many talking chapters in this at all I wanted more fluffy things, but in my mind fluff is best enjoyed in healthy and caring relationship no matter what type of relationship that is, from romantic to family, to friends, so I wanted to show that despite the oddities Marinette and Chat are in a healthy loving relationship in which they do talk about problems, communicate, and thoroughly enjoy each other being around.
So expect shorter, fluffier chapters for a while I think.
