p style="text-align: left;"It all started out with an akuma./p
p style="text-align: left;"After saving Marinette Dupain Cheng from an akuma, Cat Noir came to check up on her, you know, just checking up on her because she's such a emgood friend. /emFriendly stalker Cat much? Not at all./p
p style="text-align: left;"It turned into a game of Ultimate Mecha Strike, the casual hangout every now and then, baking macaroons, a movie night . . . well, you get the idea./p
p style="text-align: left;"But Cat Noir, never in his wildest dreams expected a movie night to turn into emthis/em ./p
p style="text-align: left;"With him being jealous of a freaking emcat./em/p
p style="text-align: left;"See, Marinette was just looking after Alya's ginger tabby, because said friend was preoccupied doing emother activities/em ./p
p style="text-align: left;"It was anybody's guess what she was doing. And since Nino had cancelled his "bro day" with Adrien, owing it to a stomach bug, that left Adrien free to visit his Princess. But when heard the tell-tale signs of giggling and purring coming from Marinette's bedroom, he nearly had a heartstroke. Without knocking on her trap door like he usually would, he simply dropped in her bedroom, ready to strangle the other cat trying to mark emhis/em Princess./p
p style="text-align: left;"He was greeted with the sight of the other cat rubbing its head against Marinette's leg, who was squealing with giggles while trying to get the cat to immediately hissed, how dare he do such a thing?!/p
p style="text-align: left;"Chat Noir loudly cleared his throat in an attempt to get Marinette's attention (which the other cat had succesfully stole)./p
p style="text-align: left;"emDamn that cat!/em/p
p style="text-align: left;"Marinette blinked, surprised as she turned around to see Chat Noir. Then a warm, surprised smile graced her lips as she addressed him./p
p style="text-align: left;""Hey Chat! I didn't expect you today ."/p
p style="text-align: left;"He smiled and replied "Purrleasure to see you, Princess."/p
p style="text-align: left;"Chat Noir mentally thanked the gods as he carefully arranged his face to show no traces of anger or another feeling that he couldn't put his finger on. Perks of being a supermodel, I guess./p
p style="text-align: left;""Now that you're here I g-Chaton !" She hissed as the tabby scratched her hand./p
p style="text-align: left;"Chat Noir quickly acted. He grabbed the ginger tabby from her hands and kept it in the basket at the corner of the room, then gently grabbed her, being mindful of his claws and examined her cut. It was a minor surface cut, nothing to worry about, but it had to be disinfected./p
p style="text-align: left;""Where's your first aid box?" He asked her ./p
p style="text-align: left;""Oh its fine, I can clean it mys-" Before she could finish the sentence, as Chat pressed a finger to her lips./p
p style="text-align: left;""Nonsense. Where is your first aid box, Marinette?"/p
p style="text-align: left;"Marinette realized with a jolt that this was probably the first time he called her Marinette, and not Princess or some other nickname. And he said it with so much care and raw, dare she say it, emlove;/em she felt her insides turn into mush./p
p style="text-align: left;""In my bathroom, first draw to the left."/p
p style="text-align: left;"He went into the bathroom and came back a few seconds later, carrying a bottle of neospirin and some cotton. He gingerly dabbed at the cut with the disinfectant, then cleaned it with cotton. The action was so sweet she melted for the second time that day./p
p style="text-align: left;""There, all done."/p
p style="text-align: left;"She smiled, then grinned. "Wait a second, I'll be right back."/p
p style="text-align: left;"As Chat waited for Marinette, he turned around and glared at the cat, an action that was mirrored by the other, unrepentant ./p
p style="text-align: left;""For you, Kitty."/p
p style="text-align: left;"Marinette presented a plate that was filled with passion fruit macaroons and shyly handed it to Chat Noir, who grinned at her then proceeded to stuff a macaron into his mouth./p
p style="text-align: left;""These are sooo nice Princess. Just like you." He finished with a flirtatious wink. After stuffing a few more macarons his mouth, he said-/p
p style="text-align: left;""Well, I have bothered you long enough. I'll be going now."/p
p style="text-align: left;"Almost as though some deity did not want that to happen, right on cue it started raining./p
p style="text-align: left;"Marinette laughed. "You're stuck with me, Kitty."/p
p style="text-align: left;"And yet, Chat Noir couldn't be happier to spend the storm with Marinette./p
p style="text-align: left;""Movie night?" She suggested./p
p style="text-align: left;""Sure."/p
p style="text-align: left;""Oh, and thank you for helping me Chat. I really appreciate it." Before she could chicken out, she quickly pecked Chat on the cheek./p
p style="text-align: left;"A very endearing, emAdrien-like/em smiile took over his face as he replied. "No problem, Marinette."/p
p style="text-align: left;"Where was the treacherous Cat doing at that time? It was perfectly content to sleep in the basket as Chat and Marinette started their movie night./p
p style="text-align: left;"And at some point, they had fallen asleep, god knows when./p

p style="text-align: left;"strongspan style="text-decoration: underline;"Bonus-/span/strong/p
p style="text-align: left;"They were awoken about two hours later with Chat Noir's hand wrapped protectively around Marinette's waist, and said girl spooning him because of a screaming Alya and a wolf whistling Nino and the snaps of a camera./p
p style="text-align: left;""What the hell Mari ! You-he- OMG!"/p
p style="text-align: left;"Marinette and Chat Noir wanted nothing more than to disappear at that moment./p
p style="text-align: left;"But little did they know that even the other wanted was to disappear with them./p
