Summary: Kagami likes it when Marinette's hair gets loose. So, she planned to steal all her hair ties! Little did she know Marinette already suspects her of being the main culprit.

There are plenty of things to love about the bluenette.

She loves her personality. She's sweet, independent, courageous, hard-working, intelligent, and so much more.

There are also the little details about her that Kagami loves. Like whenever Marinette was working on her sketch, her tongue peeks out a bit if she's deep into her work. Or when she easily blushes because the girl teased her so much that she became redder than a tomato.

And those were just a few. There's a lot to name, and if you told Kagami to write a book about her, the girl would finish it after a day or two of writing and treasure it forever.

But out of all of those traits, there was one thing that Kagami loved the most about Marinette.

Her hair

It's not that Kagami doesn't hate it, oh no. She loves the bluenette's hair. She loves them in any style, but she truly adores it if her hair is out of the restraints of her hair ties.

Seeing her hair free from the ties and how it framed her angelic face, Kagami just can't get enough of them. The first time she saw it was when they got away from her mother and Adrien's bodyguard from the heart-stopper incident. The second one was when they had a sleepover. And the second time she saw it, Kagami noticed her gaze stayed a bit longer, looking at the half Chinese.

She didn't think much about it at first. It was typical for a girlfriend to notice their significant other. But whenever Marinette's hair was out of the ties, Kagami discovers herself yearning to run her hands through those bluish locks. And she did. She enjoyed it so much that she started stealing her girlfriend's hair ties.

And she didn't regret it one bit.

And that's the situation with Marinette. When she came to class, everyone noticed the lack of pigtails in her hair. Alya even questioned her about it. "Is this a new look, Mari?"

She groaned and ran her hand through her hair. "No. My hair ties are missing."

"Missing?" She raised her brow at the bluenette. "Maybe you misplaced them…?"

"Alya, I never misplace my things. You know that." The 15-year-old gave her a flat look.

"...Ok, I may misplace some things and forget where they are, but I swear I always know where I put my ties. And I'm telling you, someone stole them."

"You sure about that?"

"I searched my entire room. It's not there."

"Well, who do you think stole them?"

"I have my suspicions, but I'm not sure yet."

"Well, good luck with that. By the way, maybe you should consider the new look. You look great when your hair's down."

And that's what happened. Every time Marinette bought a pack of ties, they slowly disappeared, one by one. Last month she bought a third set, only to have half the remaining left.

Not only that, she noticed that Kagami was a bit smug about it too. Whenever they were a bit intimate, her hair always ends getting loose. She knows it wasn't her, since she's occupied by kissing her girlfriend. But after the little make-out sessions ended, she noticed her ties were completely gone after the Japanese girl left. There's also the fact that Kagami always plays with her hair whenever the opportunity presents itself.

So, she hatched a plan to get the answer the night she stayed over.

"Kagami?"

"Yes, Mari-hime?" Both laid comfortably on the pillows by the head of Marinette's bed. Both watched a movie from the former's laptop by the foot of the bed. The Japanese girl raised a brow while having her attention on the film.

"Do you know about any missing hair ties lately?" Marinette acted indifferently but paid close attention to the girl's features.

"No. I don't know anything about your missing hair ties."

"I never told you it was mine."

"You're the only one who's currently missing a hair tie, and I've never used one since you've met me."

"But have you seen or heard anything about them?"

"None or so at the moment."

"Well, that's good." Damn. She needed a new tactic.

Both turned their attention back to the movie, cuddling all the while. Although, halfway through the film, the two girls lost interest and started making out. Marinette was hovering above Kagami, her head trapped between her arms. Kagami wrapped her arms around her neck, wanting to be close to her as possible.

Her right hand slowly slid to her hair, playing with the ponytail between her fingers. She slowly edged towards the tie, but just as she was starting to tug it halfway through, her wrist got caught by a grinning Marinette. "What do you think you're doing?"

Kagami was confused. "Kissing you?"

"So, you're not the one who keeps stealing my hair ties?"

"I don't know what you mean?"

"Well, if I looked into your pockets, I wouldn't see a few of my ties in there?" That caught Kagami's attention as Marinette moved to reach into her pockets. When she pulled her hand out, her hand fisted the remaining hair ties she had. Kagami blushed, knowing she was caught red-handed by the bluenette. "Can you explain these then?"

Kagami knew she was going to get caught sooner or later. She just didn't think it would be in this situation. The best she could think of was if Marinette caught her in the act while she went to the restroom or kitchen. And from the looks of things, the bluenette already figured out who the thief was. "How did you know?"

"I had my suspicions for a while, but it all got confirmed when I saw you going to my desk and shoving them into your pockets."

"Wait, the only time you got out was to go to the kitchen."

"Why did you think I left a gap on the door when I got out?"

"Oh." Marinette looked at Kagami fondly. She was still embarrassed about the whole getting caught situation, but the girl was a little curious as to why her girlfriend kept stealing them in the first place. "Can I ask you why you decided to steal them?"

Kagami was thankful that Marinette's voice held no anger but curiosity. She already planned how to explain this, but it seems her brain is a little chaotic at the moment. "I… uh," Oh no. She was stuttering. Kagami does not stammer. But Marinette has seen her stutter and stammer before. Only Marinette. She mumbled the rest of her sentence.

"You what?"

"I like it when your hair is down." She spoke a little more clearly. The blush on her cheeks slowly subsided as she avoided looking at Marinette's eyes.

"... Why didn't you just say so?"

"What?" Her answer made Kagami look at the bluenette incredibly. Was she serious? "I don't understand."

"You could've just asked me to take them off instead of stealing them, you know." She stated as if it was that obvious.

Kagami sheepishly rubbed her neck. She hadn't even thought about it when she planned this whole thing. So, she answered with, "I…um, I forgot?"

Marinette rolled her eyes. She leaned to kiss her stammering girlfriend on the cheek. "No worries. And besides, I think I'll continue to wear this look."

The fencer looked at her girlfriend with giddiness in her eyes. "You will?"

"Yup." Popping out the P. "This look grew on me. But…"

"But what?"

"Can you give me back all the hair ties you stole?"

The girl blushed again as her girlfriend laughed at her embarrassment.
