May Adventures

On the second day of May I got into an accident…

"Girl! You have GOT to tell me everything! I can't believe you're dating Chat Noir! Why does the world know before ME, your best friend?!" Marinette held the phone away from her ear, her eardrums trembling painfully from the loud verbal assault of her friend.

She only returned her phone to her ear when she was sure her eardrums wouldn't explode, "Alya, listen! It's…complicated. I mean-I think- no I know that we, well, err…it just… happened?" Marinette winced at her own poor word choice.

It did not just happen.

The thing, which she secretly dubbed their oddly established relationship as prior to becoming an 'official' couple, the period where Chat Noir started visiting her regularly and she started listening more to her heart instead of her head, where she would eagerly wait for whenever he would show up and she would already have a batch of warm cookies waiting for him, some blankets and maybe a movie or two to watch.

That thing, she didn't know when, had somehow strengthened their bond since then, it had been the first time she seriously started questioning the choices she made as Ladybug, putting walls between herself and her partner like that, for the sake of professionalism and keeping them both safe. Her head told her it was the right choice, but her heart started getting a louder voice and that voice kept telling her cuddle up to the handsome cat and let him in.

Perhaps that voice was a little too loud sometimes, but nonetheless, Marinette didn't have the same boundaries she had set up as Ladybug with him, she could be a little more honest, a little more open and with time, Chat Noir had opened up to her in a way he never did to Ladybug before. Maybe because she insisted on them talking about their personal lives with as little detail as possible.

She had never been more wrong.

She had been blind to not be able to see the considerate, sweet boy the apparent womanizer was. True, he was a bit oblivious, but she was too. But he was sweet and kind and funny, she blamed all the times his purring made her fall asleep soundly for influencing her opinion, but his puns were even better outside of the threat of akuma battles.

Oh, right, Alya.

Marinette swallowed, "Listen Alya, I promise to tell you everything, I'm on my way to your place right now so I'll-"

"Look out!" the warning had come too late.

Blinding lights and the honking of a car far too loud in Marinette's ears made all her alarm bells and instincts as Ladybug kick in, unfortunately she was unable to dodge the incoming car headed straight toward her.

She didn't think getting lost in thought in the middle of crossing a road had been a good idea at all. Why couldn't her Ladybug-luck seep into her civilian life too?

Marinette crossed her arms in front of her face and braced herself, she could feel the heat and the air pressure from the car but felt no impact collide with her body.

All she felt was leather and something solid and firm encased in it.

She felt the wind rushing against her skin, like she was flying.

She was in someone's arms.

"Really princess, this had almost become a catastrophie had I not been pawtrolling," the familiar arms around her tightened and Marinette's body relaxed.

Chat Noir.

Her arms tightened around his neck, "Thanks for the save kitty, I would have been part of the street if you hadn't saved me," she looked down at the moving streets and buildings beneath their feet.

Chat's grip around her tightened protectively, "You would make a pretty nice street but if you ask me, I purrfer nobody walks all over my purrincess," he winked down at her, but despite the light tone in his voice, his eyes were full of concern and alertness, scanning her body for any injuries and searching her eyes for an explanation.

Marinette sighed, "I'm sorry Chat, Alya called and I got lost in thought and I didn't pay attention to where I was going," she leaned her cheek against her boyfriend's chest, "She wants to know all the details of how we got together and she wants to know why 'so suddenly'," she smiled.

Chat chuckled, jumping over a building, "I understand, but please be more careful next time. I almost got a heart attack when I saw you and the car," she felt his claws unconsciously lightly prick her arms, "You know I would never forgive myself if something happened to you Marinette," landing safely on the roof of a building, Chat leaned his head down to affectionately nuzzle the side of her cheek, purring contently.

Marinette smiled, rubbing her own cheek against his, "I purromise kitty,"

Chat grinned softly.

On the fourth day of May, I got into a cat fight.

"Oh puh-lease! Everyone knows Chat Noir is just Ladybug's sidekick, he just ends up getting in her way all the time and being a distraction for the akuma while Ladybug saves the day! Honestly, he doesn't deserve to be called a hero because he can't even save the day without her! He's useless on his own!" Chloe inspected her nails carefully, as if she hadn't just badmouthed one of Paris' superduo in front of her entire class, supporters of both Ladybug and Chat Noir.

She didn't know the storm that was headed in her direction either, "How could you!" Chloe's head shot up in surprise, not expecting a rebuttal from anyone.

When she saw who spoke up, she smirked and crossed her arms, "Oh, of course little Marinette butts in to defend him! You always have to be different than everyone else and fangirl over Chat Noir, don't you?" she huffed and rolled her eyes, "Where everyone loves Ladybug, you're the only one who loves that mangy cat-"

Marinette's eyes spelled death, "Enough Chloe!" she stomped her foot, advancing onto her classmate and jabbing her finger in her direction sharply, "You don't know anything about Chat Noir and you're always the cause for new akuma attacks so you of all people shouldn't say anything against either Ladybug or Chat Noir! Ladybug is nothing without him, he always helps her when she's in a tight spot and she always has to depend on him for her plans to work so they can both save the day. Ladybug is nothing without Chat Noir and all of Paris knows that too, a lot of people love and adore Chat Noir too! There are times where not even Ladybug knows what to do but her partner gives her strength and the support she needs," Marinette's loud, powerful voice died down slightly at the end, "…And I'm sure without Chat Noir, Ladybug would have quit being a hero far sooner too,"

There were gasps of surprise echoed in the classroom and Chloe stood stunned in front of her dark-haired classmate, Marinette in all her angry glory with her fists clenched at her sides.

She took another step forward and poked Chloe in the sternum, "So the next time you have anything to say against Chat Noir, make sure you actually have something to belittle him of!" her eyes narrowed, a final warning, until she turned around and went back to her seat next to Alya, who only stared at her friend in amazement and wonder.

It took a while for Chloe to compose herself and when she did, she lunged.

At Marinette.

There was a sharp yelp of pain when Chloe's fingers dug into Marinette's dark tresses and tugging on them, "I won't let a stupid peasant like you tell me what to do!" Chloe growled and yanked at Marinette, Alya jumping up to her friend's defense and trying to pry the girl away from her friend until a sudden hand clamped down sharply upon Chloe's thin wrist before Marinette could fight back.

It was Adrien.

"Adri-!" the endearment died in her throat when she saw the look on her childhood friend's face.

It was a rare sight to see the model even moderately annoyed, much less looking ready to strangle somebody like he did now, with sharp, narrowed eyes, eyes normally the color of a lush green forest now appeared almost toxic, like green poison, and all that poison was directed at Chloe.

"Let her go, Chloe," Adrien's normally soft voice was colder, firmer. A command, not a request.

Slowly, out of trepidation and shock, Chloe slowly untangled her fingers from Marinette's hair and released her hold on the girl's wrist.

Adrien slowly unlatched his grip and fixed her with a hard stare, "Apologize to her Chloe, Marinette did nothing wrong and you know it," Adrien's gaze narrowed further when it looked like Chloe was about to protest, but instead the girl swallowed her pride.

"…Yeah…well…I can't help it if you're acting as your stupid self again," that was as close as any of them would come to an apology, at least from her mouth.

Chloe trudged past Adrien and back toward her seat, avoiding the stares of all her classmates.

In that moment, from the angle Marinette had of Adrien, when she blinked, she swore in one moment she saw Chat Noir, a rare enraged sight of him standing in the place of Adrien, but when she blinked again to clear her vision, an equally rare sight of an enraged Adrien stood before her.

When the blond model turned to her with a soft smile and a warm fondness in his eyes she didn't quite know where it came from, she felt at a loss, "Are you alright Marinette?"

She swore, she saw Chat smiling at her.

On the sixth day of May, I got a cat.

"Chat Noir! You know my parents can't know you're up here!" Marinette whisper-shouted to her secret partner-in-crime, who was currently stuffing his mouth full of the remaining cookies that used to be on the platter he held in his hands.

He licked his lips and wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, his eyes impossibly wide and pleading, "Purrleaseee princess, I purromise I'll behave!" he blinked at her adorably, like a big oversized kitten seeking affection.

Curse her weak heart, "But Chat-!"

"Meowwwchhhh! Meoooaaawwchh! Mroooouuwww…" Marinette slapped her hand roughly onto the cat's roaring mouth, effectively shutting him up.

Her gaze narrowed, "If I heard one more meow from you…" she pointed up at her balcony warningly.

Chat Noir grinned and placed a hand over his heart, "Cat's honor princess, I'll be as quiet as a mouse," he winked and Marinette groaned.

How did she end up in these ridiculous situations?

She quickly made a beeline toward the kitchen, tiptoeing to not alert her parents sitting in the living room watching TV. As swiftly as she could, Marinette gathered the leftovers of today's goods and piled them all on the plate, filling it to the brim.

Marinette's entire body froze on the spot when her mother's voice suddenly sounded, "Marinette, we heard a strange noise coming from your room, is everything alright?"

Mentally cursing her partner, Marinette robotically turned to look at the questioning looks from her parents, "Uh-y-yes! Yeah! I'm fine maman! There's uh, nothing wrong!" she grinned widely, too widely.

Sabine hummed thoughtfully, "Oh, I see. We thought we heard a cat mewling that's all,"

Tom smiled, chuckling, "Must be the neighbors cat again,"

Marinette panicked internally, their neighbors had cats?

Instead, she laughed, "Y-yeah! It was that neighbor's cat again! Hahaha! Well, um, see you later I'm gonna go talk to Alya!"

After Marinette sprinted up toward her room, Sabine smiled and looked up at her husband, "Our neighbors don't have any cats, good thing Marinette didn't know that," Tom chuckled.

"How long until we tell her we know?" he raised an eyebrow, shooting a glance up at the ceiling.

Sabine smiled and turned back toward the TV, "Let's wait a little while, dear. Sooner or later, they'll come to us, cats are curious creatures after all and Marinette's never been a good liar,"

Tom wrapped an arm around his wife's shoulders and smirked, "Where you're right, you're right," they both smiled at each-other, pretending not to hear the ecstatic mewls from a certain hero and their daughter's groans of exasperation.

It took them two weeks until a frightful superhero and a hyperventilating daughter of their's came downstairs to tell them how she had been secretly feeding Chat Noir cookies because apparently, the boy followed a strict diet and wasn't allowed those 'cheat days' for such food.

Needless to say, Tom and Sabine made sure every day was a cheat day whenever the adorable cat decided to visit them.

Marinette did always want a cat and since they were sure he was potty trained and well-behaved, they decided to simply adopt him.

Part 2 will follow! :) Thanks for reading!
