"Kiss me, please?" Chat Noir asked, batting his eyes at an amused Marinette. "I came all this way, after all."
Marinette stood by the door to her balcony, arms folded across her chest as she bit back a smile. A chuckle escaped her, and she dropped her arms whilst walking towards the superhero perched on the railing.
"You couldn't wait an extra-" Marinette stopped just in front of Chat Noir, tugging her phone out of her pocket to look at the time. "-half an hour to see me?" He shook his head rapidly in response.
"I thought about it," Chat Noir said, his voice earnest. "But I finished getting ready for our date about fifteen minutes ago. And then I thought to myself, 'Hey, you could hold off on seeing your beautiful girlfriend for a bit longer, or you could sneak onto her roof and see her now.'"He grinned. "I think I made the right call."
The roll of Marinette's eyes was contradicted by the grin playing on her lips. Chat Noir slid from his seated position on the railing to stand next to her, holding his arms out. Marinette stepped into the hug, and Chat Noir curled his arms around her waist and pulled her close. Marinette poked him in the chest, an affectionate smile on her lips.
"And you couldn't have just come into the bakery and picked me up a bit earlier because…?" she asked.
Chat Noir shrugged. "It wouldn't have been as romantic."
Marinette raised an eyebrow, "I didn't realise that snapchatting me a picture of you on my balcony to tell me you were here was the pinnacle of romance." Her hands moved to slip around Chat Noir's shoulders as she spoke, and he pouted at her words.
"I thought it would be cute…" he mumbled, his eyes dropping to the floor. Marinette pulled him into a hug, kissing his cheek before resting her chin on Chat Noir's shoulder.
"It was cute," she murmured into his ear, "Using the cat filter was a bit unnecessary, though. But I was worried that someone would see you. I wouldn't want anyone to catch you and think I was cheating on my wonderful boyfriend, after all."
Chat Noir sighed, reluctantly pulling back so he could press a soft kiss on the top of Marinette's head. She looked up to see him nodding at her logic.
"Fair enough." Chat Noir's shoulder's sagged for a moment, before an idea popped into his head. His demeanour lit up in an instant, and the superhero waggled his eyebrows at Marinette as she looked up at him, a sly grin spreading across his face. "I'll save the sneaky balcony visits for nights, then."
He expected Marinette to blush, or at the very least roll her eyes at him. What Chat Noir didn'texpect was her hands to trail down to his chest as she winked at him, smirking coquettishly .
"I'm counting on it," Marinette said quietly, her fingers trailing back up Chat's chest and across his shoulders, causing Chat Noir's face to turn a vivid shade of red. Marinette laughed at the look of pure shock on her boyfriend's face.
"Wow, really? I always forget how easy it is to make you blush," Marinette said, resting her head on Chat Noir's shoulder as she giggled, her hands moving around him in a hug. She gave him a peck on the cheek as she pulled her head back, grinning from ear to ear at the tinge of pink still on her boyfriend's cheeks. "Look, head to the alley a road away and de-transform. I'm basically ready to go, be back here in five and we'll head to the park before the movie starts."
Chat Noir nodded.
"Okay, yeah. Yeah, sure. Sounds good," he said, his voice slightly hoarse. "Pick you up in a few minutes, then."
"Great," Marinette said, "I'll just grab my purse, and I'll be at the door when you arrive."
Chat Noir let his arms fall to his sides, releasing Marinette from his embrace; but, as he began to take a step back, her arms moved around his shoulders once more to still him.
"Hold on a second there, kitty," Marinette grinned. She tilted her head up and, giving Chat a couple of seconds to realise what was happening, moved to press her lips against his. Chat Noir's hands instinctively moved back to grip Marinette's waist, one sliding up her back to hold her more firmly as her fingers began to rifle through his hair.
Marinette kissed him gently, her lips a whisper on his before pressing them together firmly, occasionally pulling back just so she could kiss him over and over again, insistent and teasing all at once.
She pulled away fully after a moment, noticing Chat's hands gripping her tightly as he leant forward to rest his forehead on hers. His eyes fluttered open to see Marinette smiling widely.
"Well, you didcome all this way," Marinette said softly. Chat Noir grinned, straightening himself up.
"You couldn't wait five minutes?" he teased, grinning as Marinette swatted him playfully on the arm.
"Oh my god, just go and de-transform!" she laughed, stepping out of his embrace and walking towards the trapdoor to her room. "I'll see you in five!" Blowing Chat Noir a kiss, Marinette moved out of his sight, waving at him as she disappeared into her room.
Chat Noir smiled warmly as he leaned back on the railing, before shaking himself and looking around the street. Seeing that there was nobody to watch him drop into the alleyway nearby, he vaulted across Marinette's balcony and propelled himself using his baton to jump into it. A flash of green light highlighted the brick walls, and Adrien Agreste strolled out, hands in his pockets, and headed towards the Dupain-Cheng bakery.
He had a date to pick up.
