December 16, 16th gift:

Marinette's alarm rang and the young woman winced before wrapping herself in the warm and cozy plaid that Chat Noir had given her. Her little Kwami's flute voice forced her to open her eyes and pull herself out of the comfortable cocoon she was in.

She stretched out for a long time, screwed, grimaced and yawned again before coming down from her bed and stopping for a moment to admire with a certain emotion in her gaze, the two roses decorating, now, proudly her desk.

It was again Tikki, drawing her gently by the hand, who took Marinette out of her contemplation.

-Marinette, if you want to unpack your gift without arriving late to college you can't afford to idle.

-I know, Tikki, but it's not my fault that this plaid is so pleasant and mellow, nor that it's impossible to detach its gaze from these two beautiful flowers.

The little ladybug Kwami choked a laugh, her carrier was certainly not insensitive to the attentions of Chat Noir, moreover Tikki noticed that she was agitating nervously while looking for the 16th gift of the feline hero.

When Marinette put her hand on it, a bright smile and an impatient look painted on her face.

The gift wrapping was gold with thin, shiny black lines.

She enthusiastically unwrapped the package and fell face to face with a t-shirt whose vision took her famous eye-rolling towards the sky, as well as a slight laugh. The t-shirt was black, and on the chest she could read in neon green "I'm meow-tiful" and on the back of the t-shirt, in the center of the back was printed a big cat paw print in that same neon green. Marinette went to her wardrobe, t-shirt in hand, and a short moment later came out with a black legging.

She placed the legging and the t-shirt carefully on her chaise longue. No doubt it would be her pajamas for tonight!


-Plagg? Called Adrien as he put on his pajamas and was about to go to bed.

-Mmh, groaned the little Kwami who had just gotten out of his sleep.

-Don't you think that after our last fight, Ladybug was a little nervous?

-Nervous is not exactly the term I would have used, exclaimed Plagg, stretching slowly like a real cat.

-So how would you describe her that night?

-Baffling, messy, clumsy, ridiculous.

Adrien remained perplexed at the response of Plagg, who was now nonchalantly plunged into his reserve of camembert.

Adrien's thoughts led him to compare for a brief moment the behavior of his Lady with that of his Franco-Chinese classmate.

Was he intimidating Ladybug? Maybe she was uncomfortable with all these gifts? Just as Marinette seemed uncomfortable in front of him for a reason he always did not know.

Plagg looked at him from the corner of his eye, instantly noticing that his carrier made eyes just as soft as a soft cheese, the same soft eyes he made every time Marinette stuttered in front of him.


Marinette went up to her room after dinner and quickly grabbed the leggings and t-shirt that her partner had given her and that she had carefully prepared that morning. She quickly took a shower and put on her night clothes before returning to her room and then her bed.

That evening, Marinette fell asleep wearing a t-shirt in the color of Chat Noir and wrapped in a plaid displaying the same colors, with a smile on her lip and a spirit in peace.

A small black lightning bolt fell into the darkness of Marinette's room as she slept peacefully for almost an hour.

-Tikki? Whispered a little voice.

-Plagg? She answered in a whisper while extricating herself from the small cocoon in which she slept peacefully.

She instantly fell nose to nose with the black cat Kwami and drew him with her to the balcony.

-What are you doing here? Ask Tikki once outside the house.

-I think the kid begins to suspect your carrier, even if he ends up pushing this idea every time, it often comes back to her in full force, replied Plagg.

-The perfection of a pendulum is not to go fast, but to be settled, Tikki said with conviction.

To be continued …
