Glad it was You

I want the part of you that you refuse to give to anyone. Refuse anyone to see.

Marinette watched the way his cat ears dropped sadly on his head and she wordlessly placed her hand on top of his hand and squeezed gently, trying to tell him she was there for him.

A small smile formed on his lips, one unseen by her and he turned his hand to engulf hers completely in the warm leather of his suit, squeezing back, silently thanking her.

She watched the remainder of his tears as they were wiped away by the back of his hand, she slowly saw his ears perking upright on his head, his tail swishing gently from side to side and his green eyes finally met hers.

They were sad and teary, and she gently caressed the side of his face in silent support.

They didn't need words to understand each-other, sometimes their silence said more than they ever could hope to achieve with spoken words.

They stayed there on her balcony, her hand wrapped in his and when she glanced at him from the corner of her eye, she swore she saw something.

He was smiling.

She smiled and leaned her head against his shoulder, her voice not above a whisper, "I'm glad you're alright now, kitty,"

A soft purr escaped his chest and she secretly treasured the sound, his voice just as low as hers, "Thank you, m'lady,"

The endearment caught her off guard, heart hammering inside her chest in a panic, until she suddenly remembered.

This was Chat Noir.

Her partner, her best friend, her kitty. He would never let her down or intentionally hurt her.

With a small smile, Marinette closed her eyes and whispered, "…You're welcome…Adrien," a small blush covered her cheeks when she felt him tense.

"You…you know?" his voice was small.

She shifted but stayed close to him, "I…I started to wonder when you had my good luck charm." She bit her lip, smiling softly, "I made that myself, seeing Chat Noir wearing it made me suspicious since there can't be another one like it," then, she giggled, "And I started to remember all the times you accidentally punned as Adrien and I connected the dots,"

"You're…not disappointed?" she frowned at his question.

"Of course not kitty." Heart fluttering nervously, Marinette swallowed her fear, "…Are you?"

His answer was immediate and his gaze fierce and honest when it met hers, "Never,"

She smiled and he smiled back and they fell into a comfortable silence again.

She sighed contently, and he nervously wrapped an arm around her shoulders, "Is, uh, is this o-okay?" he had rarely been this close to her.

Marinette giggled, finding courage in the fact that Adrien Agreste dressed in a leather suit was actually nervous and fidgety beside her, "Purrfect,"

The pun seemed to have sapped away all his fears and his stiff grip around her relaxed and she treasured the way he adjusted his posture, so she was comfortable against him.

"I'm glad it's you," both their voices echoed into the diminishing daylight and they both looked at each-other in surprise before they laughed quietly.

Chat Noir spoke first, a smile on his face, "Thank you, princess," his smile was genuine and happy and it made her feel warm.

She smiled back, "You're welcome, kitty," settling back against him, both shared a knowing smirk before two shadowy figures quickly hid behind the chimney again of Marinette's balcony.

"Alya, this is crazy! We're on a roof!" Nino whisper-shouted to his partner-in-crime, clinging on the chimney for dear life.

Alya scoffed, "Shh! They'll hear us!" she peeked behind their cover at the pair, oblivious to their knowing smirks, "What do you think what they meant with 'I'm glad it's you'?"

Nino shook his head, clinging onto Alya's arm when she slowly and quietly made her way back into the Dupain-Cheng house through the hatch, "I don't know, we just came up there a second ago!" he glared at her, "Which reminds me, exactly why are we spying on Marinette?!"

Alya glared back at him, now in the safety of Marinette's room, away from their eyes, "We didn't plan on spying on her if you remember! I just wanted to give her, her textbook back and then we saw her on the roof with Chat Noir!" she slowly peeked over the window of Marinette's hatch, watching her friend's and Paris' superhero's turned backs, "Since when is she so friendly with Chat Noir anyway?"

Nino sighed, "Dude, I have no idea. I thought she was still into Adrien," he shrugged.

Alya rubbed her chin thoughtfully, "She is." She couldn't help but glance back at the pair, watching the way their hands were entwined and how Marinette's head rested a little too snugly on the cat's shoulder, "…I think,"

Nino crossed his arms, "This doesn't make any sense," he was about to quietly exit his friend's room, before getting caught by said friend, but it seemed like his girlfriend had other ideas.

"You're right, it doesn't," his eyes narrowed suspiciously. He was right? That can't be good, "Which is why we'll spy on them!"

Nino's eyes nearly bugged out of his head, "What?! No! I think we did enough spying for one day! We weren't even supposed to be here without Marinette knowing it! Come on, let's go before she sees us!" he grabbed her hand and hastily moved down the stairs.

Alya glanced back one more time, a fierce fire burning in her eyes and Nino knew it was a hopeless case, "We'll let the cat out of the bag soon enough,"

Nino groaned.

Chat Noir warily glanced behind him, whispering closely to Marinette's ear, "You think they heard something?"

Marinette slowly shook her head, "No, I don't think so. Alya hasn't bombarded any of us with questions yet so they don't know who we really are," despite her friends being gone, she was still keeping her voice low.

Chat glanced at her curiously, "How did you know Nino was there too?"

Marinette smirked, "I saw his head just before Alya dragged him through the hatch," she giggled quietly.

Chat chuckled, shaking his head, Marinette looked at him curiously, "How did you know they were there?"

Chat grinned and tapped his ears, "Felines have sensitive hearing, princess,"

She rolled her eyes playfully and he chuckled, her playful expression of annoyance melting into a smile.

Chat Noir – Adrien – leapt off the edge of the metal railing, standing next to her now. He looked down at her, the same soft expression on his face he had whenever he looked at her alter ego, he was now looking at her that way.

He grabbed her hand and bowed, leaning in to give it a soft kiss. Her cheeks heated up and when he straightened and reluctantly let go of her hand, he smiled when he saw the blush.

"Well, princess," he shot a brief look at the hatch pointedly, "It looks like it's getting late. Stay safe and away from any akumas, alright?" he grinned widely at her, jumping gracefully and balancing himself on the thin metal railing.

She smiled, her hands covering her mouth as she laughed, "Yeah, I will, don't worry kitty." She waved at him and he gave her a quick salute, along with the same soft look, before vaulting off on his baton.

Marinette sighed, wrapping her arms around herself, watching how her kitty leaped through the buildings until she could no longer see him.

"Are you happy you finally know for sure?" Tikki's soft voice interrupted her thoughts and Marinette smiled.

"Yeah…I always thought it would be a bad idea if we knew of each-other's identity's but…" her smile widened, "It's better this way," she turned to look at her kwami, who smiled up at her brightly.

And then, Tikki looked concerned, "Will you tell Alya and Nino? They deserve to know too,"

Marinette frowned slightly, "You're right…" and suddenly, a mischievous glint entered her eyes, one Tikki knew only too well.

"Marinette…" her charge pointedly ignored her.

"Well…maybe it could wait…until we see what they're up to anyway," she smiled.

Tikki sighed, shaking her head.

Often times, he was glad she was paired with Marinette and not Plagg.

The cat kwami would surely corrupt her mind more than it already was.

Tikki shivered at the mere thought of it.

Thank you kindly for reading everyone! Have a clawsome day! :3
