Chapter 1:

"Oh! Hey Chat. You frightened me. What are you up to?" Marinette asked her friend, trying but failing miserably to sound like she had been laughing and not crying.

"I'd like to ask the same of you, Princess. What are you doing out so late and are you okay? Is something happening at home? At school? Was it a boy?" the black suited hero sat down under the tree by the evidently sad girl, waiting for an answer.

"Well…" Marinette sighed, "It is a mix of everything you could say. I just needed to sit and think in a peaceful and quiet place for a while. And I am not sure if I am okay or not. There is a boy at my school who bullies me since I have a crush on another boy. He thought that by bullying me about my crush, it would just go away and then he could swoop in and become my boyfriend!" she started to hyperventilate again just thinking about the crazy week she had experienced.

"Shhh, Princess. He sounds like a nasty son of a gun to me. He is most definitely NOT right for you, Princess. You deserve WAY better than a bully! I am so sorry. Everything will turn out the way it is supposed to in the end. Do you want to talk more about it?" Chat Noir had started to rub circles on his friends back, trying to comfort her.

All of a sudden, lightning struck the sky and thunder roared. Instinctively, Chat stood, picked up his Princess, and vaulted them off to her house.

"I really d-don't want to g-g-go home r-r-r-right now Ch-chat," the poor girl was crying now.

"Did you get into a fight with your folks?"

She shook her head against his chest.

"Are they home right now?"

"They l-left t-tonight to go v-visit m-my aunt and uncle."

"Hey. Don't worry M'lady. I can stay the night if you want. I totally understand how you are feeling from some perspective," the superhero tried to comfort his Lady as he landed on her balcony and dropped them both safely through her trap door.

"Th-thank y-you Chat N-noir," Marinette's smile was small, but one that kept Chat staring. He had always loved it when his second best friend, (but don't mention this to Alya,) (since Nino was his first) smilled. She always looked cute and heck! She even looked beautiful (sometimes).

"Let's go get you ready for bed, honey." she blushed at the new but satisfactory nickname her partner in crime had given her.

Chat was thinking something similar. He thought that the nickname suited her and was satisfied with it.

Marinette excused herself to go down to the bathroom and get ready for sleep.

When she came back up her bedroom trap door, all the poor helpless superhero could do was stare as she made her way up the ladder to her bed. She swayed her hips slightly as she made her way over to her bed, sitting down. His Princess was wearing a black Chat Noir themed night gown. The back end had a tail embroidered down the back of her left leg that wound its way to the front of the night gown. The top of the night gown was made of lace that stopped just above her chest area where the night wear turned back into silk. The dress had neon green flower designs all over the fabric.

"You look gorgeous, Princess," Chat complemented her as he walked over to the blushing girl, eyeing her up and down.

"Thank you kindly Chaton. I got it for my birthday this year. Do you like it?"

He smirked as he crossed over to her and gently kissed her forehead, then her left cheek, then her right. Then his lips found their way to her mouth, slowly kissing her at first, waiting for her to kiss back.

She ended up pulling away with a shocked look on her face which was not what Chat had been expecting.

"Why d-did you d-do that?" she asks.

"Because I like you and I want to learn to love you."

Tears well up in her eyes as she leans in and presses her lips firmly onto his. He kisses back instantly, their lips melding together perfectly.

He pushed her back down on her bed, rolling on top of her as he continued the kiss. Chat was lost in a world of pure bliss that no other had ever left him in before. He left her mouth for a moment so that they could breathe. Soon after, their lips were joined together again.

After they broke away, they stood up and pulled back the covers of Marinette's bed. Chat Noir climbed in on the right side of the bed as Mari made her way over to the left side of her bed climbing in.

The two 'Love Doves' didn't hesitate to snuggle into one another. Chat wrapped his arms around his girl's waist, hugging her to his body, as Marinette hugged him back, snuggling her head into his chest. He buried his face in her hair, taking in the scent of it.

Chat Noir hummed softly to Marinette, trying to sooth her enough so that she could get a good night's sleep.

"Plag, claws in," Chat whispered after he was sure that his Princess was asleep. Soon after he fed his kwami the cheese he kept in his pocket for him, he drifted off to meet his Princess in Dream Land.
