Disclaimer-I don't own Miraculous Ladybug or anything involved in it.

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- Marinette has a secret for Chat to learn, and it has to do with Ladybug.

No not that.

Also I looked up Marinette room, and I always knew it was big and looked amazing, but looking at pictures and diagrams of the entire room, it really is huge.

Chat came into Marinette's room after a long day of helping the cops.

Normally he and Ladybug didn't associate with normal policing forces, they sometimes patrolled Paris(which was more of a fancy way of saying running around random parts of Paris to make people happy and stop some petty crimes) but that was normally the extent to there direct connection to the police.

However sometimes Officer Raincomprix, who after a rocky start had really started to trust him and Ladybug, would ask them for help on particularly dangerous arrests, having people that were inhumanly strong, fast, with incredible senses, and were essentially immune to conventional means of harm was a great help(Akuma were magic so they had an advantage, but normal bullets would just bounce of his exposed skin as Chat Noir unless they were very large caliber). They didn't actually do any police work themselves of course, they were just around and made sure no one got hurt.

But he was finally done and had a good hour before he even had to think about getting back home.

However when he got into her room rather then hard at work or goofing off Marinette was standing in front of her computer completely still.

"Something wrong Purr-incess?" he questioned from behind her, she shook her head so he walked up behind her and wrapped his arms around her shoulders, resting his head against hers.

On her screen was a replay of the criminal coming out of the building handcuffed and flanked, Ladybug and him not far away, Ladybug had disappeared soon after this part and he'd stayed only a bit longer to make sure Officer Raincomprix had everything under control.

"Chat can I tell you a secret I've never told anyone before? Even if you don't like it?" Marinette voice was rather quiet but it was also clear, and she wiggled backwards towards him to get more comfortable so he wasn't to worried about whatever she was talking about.

"Of course Princess, we don't have to agree on everything." they both knew they didn't agree on everything, Chat was more forgiving and liked risks way more(she still point blank refused to find a way to go bungee jumping with him).

"And you won't argue with me? I know you won't like it and would rather not argue right now."

"I mean I may question it but I won't badger you." he promised, although he had no idea what she was thinking.

She was quiet for a moment before leaning forward and pausing the video on her computer, it was the moment Ladybug had started swinging away. Marinette leaned back again into him, still looking at the screen.

"Sometimes My Knight, only for a few seconds here and there, but sometimes I honestly hate Ladybug."

He blinked. Out of everything he'd been expecting that was not even a possibility. He'd never actually heard anyone, barring Akuma and Hawk Moth, outright say they hate Ladybug. Oh he was fairly certain by now that Lila hated Ladybug, but she would never SAY that, Ladybug was Paris' darling, heck he was Paris' darling she was beyond that.

"Oh" was all he could think to say.

Marinette smiled at him, finally turning away from the screen. "What's wrong Alley Cat, cat got your tongue?"

He smiled back, he had an unreasonable love for that phrase and she knew it "Just not sure what to say. Ladybug is, well Ladybug, I never expected you to feel anything really negative towards LB, maybe some dislike at being my partner but that's it."

"I don't hate her all the time, like I said just here and there, and you just said why, she's Ladybug right? Ladybug is Ladybug, she's amazing and everyone loves her.

So why does she talk about you being 'partners' but she's on the front of everything? Why do you get hurt for her? Why doesn't she help people more?

She should be better."

Chat wasn't sure what to say about that. Marinette didn't sound particularly angry despite the harsh words, she sounded tired, tired and almost sad. "Princess, you know she's only human right? We may be magic but at the end of the day we are only human."

She sighed "Unfortunately Chat, emotions and logic can be mutually exclusive. I know she's trying her best, I know she's hurt to and that you'll never stop trying to protect her, and I KNOW she's a good person. That doesn't stop me from hating her every time she messes up."

Chat waited a moment, there really wasn't anything else to say. It wasn't logical, and he didn't agree, but she knew both those things already and he couldn't change it. So instead...

"Eep! What are you doing you stupid Alley Cat?!" Marinette exclaimed as he suddenly picked her up bridal style and began to carry her up to her bed(besides her surprise she didn't actually struggle at all, even in jest, and he was warmed by the implicit trust of letting a super-strong teen boy just pick her up and carry her around).

He laid her down carefully before sitting near her stomach as she watched him with a playful glare.

"You're amazing Princess, you know that right."

"Where is that coming from Chat, I'm complaining about Ladybug and you compliment me." she stopped glaring at him and asked questioningly.

"I just wanted to make sure, you said you hated her for messing up and I know you can get upset when you mess up. But you and Ladybug, you're in different parts of my life, but you're both amazing. I couldn't ask for a better partner or a better girlfriend, even if you don't always agree."

Her eyes started to mist over but before he could panic about upsetting her somehow she jerked up and hugged him. He hugged her back at a lose at what to do, he felt like he was missing something, the lack of anger earlier and now this overly emotional display at what was, ultimately, pretty normal praise from him.

"Princess?"

"It's nothing My Knight, you're just great."

OK then, he'd let it rest if nothing else, if only because he promised not to argue with her. So he laid down next to her and she didn't let go, it was surprisingly comfortable.

I had the idea for this chapter for a while, this and another one that wouldn't work in the context of this story. A chapter about Marinette feeling some form of hate, anger, or resentment towards Ladybug for not being good enough, for allowing Chat Noir to be hit. And I think it came out well enough.

I like the layers it brings, Marinette's negative feelings that she knows are logically unfounded but her past issues with self worth and her dislike for seeing Chat hurt won't stop, along with the layer of Chat not knowing all the relevant details and not agreeing, but trying to be supportive anyways.

I don't think this chapter will be as popular as last chapter(a lot of people really liked Chat being sweet with drunk Mari), but it's a chapter I've had for a long time so I'm content and that's what matters as the writer.

Finally I played up the 'super' human part of Chat and Ladybug with the whole 'immune to bullets' thing but I like doing that. I like having the clear distinction between human and superhuman, normal humans are normal humans, Chat can bench press a small car and ignore being shot by anything below military grade. Clear distinction. Akuma are magic so they have wiggle room.
