Hello Miraculers, this OS is an English traduction of my original French story "Son premier baiser."

My English is quite good, but it's still a language that I only use occasionally. I am fallible like any human being, so forgive me if there are any small mistakes. They should be very few in number and not interfere with your understanding of the story.

I Hope you will enjoy it.

Marinette, exhausted, collapsed on her bed.

At that precise moment she had only one desire: to sleep.

As she was about to put on her pajamas, a small alarm slowed her down.

It was a notification telling her of a new publication on the Ladyblog.

Obviously, Alya had already publish the picture of the kiss between Chat Noir and Ladybug.

A comment accompanied the picture:

* Today, the super villain Oblivio, erased the memory of several Parisians including the memory of our two heroes. If this seems to have caused some unexpected upheavals during their fight, by that I mean an unexpected kiss, they saved the day anyway, and want to clarify that they are not a couple, well, not yet. *

"As if that weren't enough, Alya needs to add another layer" Marinette growled as she pulled on her pajamas.

"I lost my memory only an hour, And I find myself kissing Chat Noir, but how could I have let this happen?" She wondered aloud.

She turned the question over in her head and analyzed the elements she had. one thing was certain: She and Chat Noir had seen each other in their civilian guise when their memories were erased.

In these last memories, she resorts to her Lucky Charm, which she unfortunately did not have time to use during the fight.

She also remembers a Cataclysm used by her partner to distract Oblivio, so she can attempt to attack him from behind.

But Oblivio was not distracted long enough and their plan had failed.

It was then that her teammate and she had started to fight because he was flirting again with her, this is how he had been touched by Oblivio and she had too because she was putting Chat Noir in safety in the lift of the Montparnasse tower.

Anyway, the quantity of macaroons left in her bag confirmed that Tikki had to regain her strength once ...

So that meant that she had liked something about the boy under the Chat Noir mask and that; very quickly.

And conversely, it had to be the same for him, since the kiss seemed indeed reciprocal ...

Marinette finally fell asleep.

She was exhausted and had fallen asleep rather quickly, however her night was restless: indeed, many questions were scrolling through her head and she had turned around all night.

At the same time in another Parisian district ...

Adrien collapsed on his bed, he was too exhausted and thoughtful after the day he had just lived.

I've kissed Ladybug, I've kissed Ladybug, I've kissed Ladybug : He repeated this thought a dozen times ... And he ended up wearing a sad look.

Yes he had indeed kissed the young heroine who made his heart beat, but he had no memory of it!

At that precise moment an inexplicable pain pierced his chest.

"It was my first kiss, I had the chance to share it with the person I love and I don't remember it." he complained sadly out loud

On the other side of the room a mocking laugh was heard ...

"Adrien, you, the model who has half the ladies of Paris at his feet, had you never kissed anyone before ?"

Adrien's cheeks flushed and he replied calmly: "no, never. "

"You know Adrien if you were interested by Camembert, I swear your life would be much easier. You can kiss Camembert as much as you want and even devour it. What a great satisfaction!"

Adrien let out a chuckle in reaction to Plagg's words, but it was short-lived as his sadness quickly caught up with him.

Suddenly he thought that all hope was not lost, that he must see the positive side of the situation.

Ladybug had let Chat Noir give her a kiss, and more, she had returned it.

So that meant there was a possibility for him to win his partner's heart.

But how ? How had she succumbed? had she succumbed to Chat Noir's charm? Or to Adrien's charm?

Anyway, he had no more cheese in his pocket, he knew exactly what that meant: Ladybug had seen him in his civilian form, that was certain ...

Now he was less happy again, he knew the identity of his Lady but did not remember it either.

He ends up going to bed with a sad heart but full of hope.

He was going to do anything to win Ladybug's heart: if he had done it today, he knew he could do it again and he fully intended to do it.

It would take as long as it took, but one day he would get there.

The next morning, near the Dupain-Cheng bakery ...

"Are you okay Marinette? You look exhausted." The little red kwami asked her.

"It's not just a impression Tikki. I slept really badly, I thought about that kiss all night.

The idea of knowing that I was able to offer my heart to Chat Noir in such a short time frightens me enormously.

I love Adrien, but I let Chat Noir steal my heart for a moment, a moment that no longer exists.

But despite everything, I let my guard down Tikki, and that gave birth to this moment, I let Adrien down, why did I let Adrien down?

This question haunts me and I cannot see it clearly. I would like to understand ... "

"Calm down and breathe Marinette, you didn't even take a break explaining this to me." Tikki replied, her voice filled with concern.

The rest of the day went smoothly for Marinette. She had devoured Adrien with her gaze a few times during the French class, the Science class and even during the lunch break while Alya and Nino were telling them both the why and how they had become akumatized in Oblivio the day before. It was a normal day and without Akuma in sight.

Later...

Adrien glanced behind him to make sure no one saw him come out of his bedroom window.

He was now transformed into Chat Noir and was jumping from roof to roof, instinctively he was looking for her, his Ladybug, the one he loved, the one he wanted to see right now.

He grabbed his stick and tried to call her, in vain: she was not to be transformed at this time. He left her a message anyway:

M'lady, if you hear this message, meet me at the top of the Eiffel Tower, nothing serious is happening, I reassure you. *

A few moments later, not far from there ...

"good night dad, good night mum!" exclaimed Marinette who had just reached her room.

"Good night honey. " her parents replied in unison.

"Tikki, I really need to clear my head tonight, I think a little outing will do me a lot of good."

"As you want Marinette"

"Tikki, spots on!"

A soon she was transformed, her yo-yo beeped.

A message from Chat Noir, she hoped it wasn't anything serious: and obviously it didn't seem to be.

She didn't really want to see him, she knew he might be hinting at their kiss, and that was the last thing she wanted.

Nevertheless, a shiver ran through her body lightly. She didn't want to talk about that kiss, that's for sure, but she wanted to see him, say hello, and spend a few minutes with her partner.

She threw her yo-yo in the direction of a fireplace and began her way to the Eiffel Tower.

A big smile spread over Chat Noir's face, his hearing could not betray him: he heard the yo-yo thread tighten and relax.

"Good evening kitty" she addressed to him, landing beside him.

"Good evening, m'lady."

She gave him a slight smile, and asked him

"You wanted to see me, is everything okay?"

"I .. I don't really know. I wanted to tell you about the ki ..."

And what she didn't want to hear was obviously preparing to reach her ears; then she interrupted him abruptly before he finished his sentence.

"Chat Noir please, I don't want to hear about the kiss, we weren't ourselves, you know there is this boy that I love… No one of the two kisses that we traded didn't mean anything to me, I'm sorry Chat Noir. "

"Two kisses? Are you telling me about that famous kiss I've seen pictures of everywhere but for which you never gave me an explanation? You have nerve to tell me about this stolen kiss that only you is remember! " he told her in a more annoyed tone than he would have liked.

"I think I'm gonna back to home, I knew you wanted to talk about the kiss exchanged yesterday and I knew I didn't want to talk about it. I shouldn't have come tonight, I'll see you later, good night Chat Noir."

Ladybug sent her yo-yo down below and left behind her the feline hero completely bewildered and stunned.

He slid down the metal frame and found himself sitting on the floor, his eyes filled with tears, which he struggled to hold back.

Ladybug blamed herself immediately.

But what I was thinking about, It Doesn't look like me to act on an impulse like this without thinking about the consequences. What if an Akuma took advantage of the condition I left Chat Noir in? Marinette you make a beautiful idiot!

She hastened to climb again to the top of the Iron Lady.

She found her teammate there, leaning against the metal pillar, curled up on himself, his face resting on his knees.

"Kitty! I'm so sorry for what I've just told you. I didn't mean to hurt you, I spoke to you in a totally inadequate way and I blame myself terribly."

Chat Noir did not raise his head.

He didn't want her to see him so vulnerable; he couldn't hold back his tears and they were now streaming down his mask, landing directly on his knees.

"Chat, please talk to me, I wouldn't want an Akuma to take advantage of your condition." she told him worriedly.

He still didn't answer her.

"You deserve to have answers, I do not have the right to deprive you of your memories, well at least those for which I have a memory too. I kissed you during our fight against Dark Cupid to break the hold he had on you, to bring you back to the good side and be able to win the fight.

She paused and added, "In no way did I want to steal a kiss from you, it was totally unexpected and I never thought it would hurt you afterwards."

Chat Noir lifted his head from his knees, he didn't have the strength to look her in the eyes, yet. Nonetheless, he turned to her to say something.

"You didn't steal a kiss from me, ... Hawkmoth stole MY first kiss," he exclaimed in a tone filled with bitterness.

At these words, she felt her heart split in two.

He was sad, he had been suffering in silence all this time.

He had certainly tried to forget everything, like her, but the kiss of last night had certainly not helped and the behavior she had just had towards him either.

She suddenly had an idea, not the best she's had so far, but an idea nonetheless…

She slowly approached Chat Noir, he still hadn't bothered to look at her, and against all odds this reaction hurt her deeply, but she ignored it and moved forward.

She squatted down beside him and asked him:

"Kitty, look at me please, I need you to pull yourself together so that we avoid attracting an Akuma."

He stared at Ladybug's feet, but wasn't ready to meet her gaze yet.

"I would like you to accept that I give you back what was stolen from you."

The instant the words passed her lips, she felt the blood rush to her cheeks; she hardly realized that she had just made this indecent offer to him.

Chat Noir gazed still wet into Ladybug's eyes, his gaze so intense that she didn't have a hard time guessing his amazement, nor his response.

"Chat, my proposal must seem indecent to you and I would like to put two conditions on it, the first: it will mean nothing, absolutely nothing.

The second: it will not change anything between us ".

"I… I agree with that." He said softly and still looking a little surprised by her proposal.

She didn't seem really comfortable despite the conditions she had just made to reassure herself.

She wondered how she could have come up with something like this.

After all, it's true she had kissed him before, it wasn't too complicated, all she had to do was do the same thing, grab him, kiss his lips and the deal was done.

Chat noir would thus have the right to remember a kiss with her.

But it was harder said than done, she was still, her cheeks flushed, she was really very tense.

"I don't want to make you uncomfortable. If you don't want to…"

She cut him off:

"No no, it's that I don't know how to hang myself on it, I ... It was also my first kiss during the fight against Dark Cupid and it doesn't really count as a real kiss to save your partner in full action. "she admitted shyly.

"So maybe you could let me do it if you don't mind less?" He asked her, his Chat Noir side gradually taking over.

She nodded in approval.

He stood up and held out his hand to help her up.

She grabbed it and found herself at his height again.

Chat Noir kept his hand in hers as if to give himself some comfort and courage.

"Close your eyes, Bugaboo."

She did so and Chat Noir took a few seconds to gaze at her tenderly.

A moment later he realized that she was tense again and seemed to be wondering what was going on, he gently tightened his hold on her hand to let her know that he was still there and that she didn't have to worry.

He saw her relax immediately and took the opportunity to cup her cheek with his other hand.

She shivered at the delicate touch of his hand, it was very soft and light.

He had claws and he didn't want to hurt her with them, so he stroked her cheek very carefully and gently.

He gently brought his mouth to hers.

He was now so close to her that she could feel his warm breath on her lips.

His lips brushed hers now, they were so close she couldn't really tell when she had stopped feeling his breath to feel his lips completely against hers.

It was soft and tender at first. Then their lips began to seek each other, and to caress delicately.

Ladybug was surprised to be so receptive to the kiss, and even more than that, she didn't want it to stop anymore.

Every time he opened his mouth and paused to catch a little breath; she immediately filled the void between their lips.

She only wanted it to last again and again ...

Chat Noir was feverish and happy. At that moment there was something; every time he stopped for a tiny little pause to send oxygen to his lungs, her partner's lips immediately filled the void he had just created a fraction of a second earlier.

Her lips were soft and tasted vanilla. To his delight, he found that she was totally relaxed and receptive.

He gently let go off Ladybug's hand, retrieving a free hand which he placed directly on her lower back. Taking advantage of this position to pull her harder against him.

She shuddered at the execution of the gesture he had just made to bring her closer to him.

He was enterprising and confident; at the same time, she showed no resistance and took more and more pleasure in exchanging this kiss with him.

She placed both hands on the back of her partner's neck, making the contact between them even closer and more intense.

He shuddered at the touch and found himself purring soflty.

Pressing all of his weight against her, he forced her to step back until she found herself pressed against one of the pillars of the Tower.

Their kiss grew more and more fiery and they both gasped with shared pleasure.

Gently Chat Noir delicately broke contact, ending with a more tender and slower kiss.

The eyes of the young heroine were still closed, he was still close to her and even though she did not see him, she felt his gaze fixed on her.

She opened her eyes with infinite slowness, like someone emerging from a deep and wonderful dream.

He knew perfectly well what he had just done to her and the state she was in now and he couldn't deny that he was quite satisfied with it.

"I broke both rules haven't I?" he asked her in a falsely sorry tone.

"You broke both rules." she repeated in a weak, trembling voice.

Indeed, he had broken the rules she had imposed a few minutes before.

That kiss definitely meant something, but what? She didn't know it exactly yet, but one thing was certain now, she had feelings for her partner.

What had happened was going to change the whole rhythm of their duo, she knew it, everything was going to be different now, Chat Noir came for the first time in a year, to make her forget Adrien.

Adrien, she named it in her head and her cheeks usually turning red; did not change of colors.

It was a good start, it was the proof that all the questions she was taken the day before had a meaning, she loved him, here she had finally admitted it to herself, she loved Chat Noir.

She was brought out of her thoughts by a Silly cat who looked at her intensely and lovingly and who in a soft and hesitant voice whispered to her:

"I'm sorry, I broke the rules you made. I'm unable to contain all the love I feel for you. Because, I love you Ladybug, I sincerely love you and I want you in my life more than as a partner. "

He was surprised by a short but sincere kiss touching his lips.

The love that emanated from it was as clear and pure as spring water.
