From here on out, I just might write everything in 3rd person.

Enjoy!

"ADRIEN?!"

"Plagg, claws in." A bright green flash of light momentarily blinds Ladybug before it fades to reveal Adrien Agreste.

"Hey why don't you release yours too? I wanna see Tikki and let her know she owes me some cheese."

Marinette's eyes are drawn to a small black cat, who she realizes has to be Adrien's kwami, "Oh how cute! I never thought he'd look like an actual cat!" She fawns over the creature, scratching under his chin, earning her a pleased purr.

"Please don't make his ego bigger, he's enough trouble already. And Plagg don't be rude to her. We've talked about you being rude before. Do we need to switch back to American cheese?"

The cat kwami floats next to Marinette's shoulder. "You wouldn't dare! Camembert is the only thing I accept, anything less is just cruel. Do you see how he treats me? I'm practically wasting away cause he refuses to feed me the right kind of cheese." Plagg whines as he throws himself across Marinette's shoulder.

Marinette chuckles and rubs the mini cat's head, "Well I don't have Camembert but there should be some cheese bread left over from the bakery. We could go to my house and get you some if you behave, Plagg. Tikki is overdue for her cookies anyway."

"Did you say cheese bread? Adrien, why am I still here?"

Soon the two heroes dropped onto Marinette's balcony and quickly slipped into her room. While Marinette fumbled for a light switch, Adrien took a second to re-familiarize himself with her room, with his night vision of course.

Spotting something that wasn't there the last time he was over he called out to his partner. "Hey Mari, when did these pictures get here? I don't remember them from last time."

There was a muffled shriek followed by a thud and an "ow" before the light was switched on and something was thrown over his head.

"I have no idea what you're talking about. Nothing in my room has changed since the last time you've been here." Marinette said in a panicked voice as she raced to remove the pictures of him plastered on her wall.

"Then why am I watching you try to take down pictures of me?" He asked, crossing the gap and placing his hands on either side of Marinette, trapping her against the desk and him.

The young heroine tensed as she felt his breath on her neck, "That's an impressive collection you have, Bugaboo. Does this mean that you still love me? Of course you know how I feel about you so I guess we're- Mari are you ok?" Marinette made a strangled sound and pushed away from the desk and him.

" I-I'm f-fine" Marinette took a deep breath, "Tikki, spots off." The ladybug kwami dropped out of the air and Marinette quickly reached out and caught her.

"Adrien would you mind holding her while I go and grab something to eat? I haven't fed her properly today and I could honestly use something too." Marinette gently placed Tikki into his hands and went downstairs.

The small bug opened her eyes, "Hi Adrien, I'm Tikki. It's so nice to finally meet you in person, I've heard so much from Marinette and Plagg." Adrien shot her a surprised look as he settled in Marinette's desk chair.

"You've talked to Plagg since I've become Cat Noir?" Tikki laughed

"I'm surprised that he hasn't said anything before now considering he's such a loud mouth. Yes, we have had alot of conversations. We can sense each other if we're close enough so I usually pop into your bag during class so we can catch up. Speaking of which..." Tikki looked at his hand and Adrien finally realized he was still Cat Noir, so he dropped his transformation.

"TIKKI! I can't tell you how glad I am that Hawkmoth didn't get his hands on you today. How's Wyazz?" The black cat said as he wound himself, cat like, around the little bug.

"Aww how cute!" Adrien looked up to see Marinette climbing back through the door with a tray full of cookies, cheese bread and croissants from the bakery and a couple bottles of water.

"I realized I forgot to ask if you wanted anything before I left so I brought enough to share. And just so you know, my parents left earlier to a baking convention for a few days, s-so it-it's just us." Marinette explained, turning as red as her Ladybug suit as the reality of her words hit her.

Adrien grins and accepts a bottle of water and stuffs a cookie in his mouth before taking the tray from Marinette. "I'll set this on the desk while you go get ready for bed. I'm surprised you're still standing after the day you've had."

Marinette smiles at him and barely suppresses a yawn. "It would be nice to get some sleep before tomorrow." She glances at the desk. "At least Tikki and Plagg agree with you."

Adrien looked over to see his kwami fast asleep and curled so tightly around Tikki that he couldn't tell where one ended and the other began. Marinette walked over and placed the two tiny Gods into the small bed she made for Tikki and covered them with the matching blanket. Adrien joined her, snagging another cookie and looking in disbelief at the sleeping pair.

"Plagg never sleeps that still. He usually tosses and turns all night and keeps me up."

"Maybe being around Tikki calms him down?"

Adrien shrugs and pulls Mari away from the desk. "I don't know. What I do know is that another little bug needs her sleep too." He looks pointedly at Marinette as she yawns again.

"I'm going, I'm going. Let me grab you something to sleep in and then I'll go downstairs to change." Marinette glances over to him and blushes. "I mean y-you don't have to spend the night if you don't want to but I just figured since Plagg was asleep you couldn't transform and he probably won't wake up for a while so you'd be stuck here for a few hours and I'd want you to be comfortable, not that your jeans aren't comfortable, not that I'm looking at your jeans but you kn-"

Adrien pulls her into a hug. "I'm staying right here Mari. Even if Plagg was awake, I'd still stay with you." He presses a kiss into her hair as she relaxes against him.

"Thank you Adrien, sorry for rambling." He gives her a quick squeeze before letting her go. She walks over to a dresser and pulls out two pairs of pajamas and hands one to him.

"Those pants are too big on me so they should fit you just fine. The shirt is a men's shirt so no problems there. You can just leave your clothes over on the chair so you can find them in the morning."

"Thanks. Now go get changed or I'll do it myself." Adrien tells her sternly, before realizing what he just came out of his mouth and turns bright red and starts sputtering.

Marinette is slightly pink but she giggles as she heads out of the room.

Head in his hands, Adrien groans at himself. Nice going Agreste. Now is not the time for things like that. He thinks, especially with teenage hormones. Adrien quickly unbuttons his jeans and pulls them off, throwing them across the chair, followed by his t shirt. He pulls on the pajama pants, keeping an ear fully tuned into noises downstairs. God help me if Mari caught me in my underwear. I'd never show my face in public again.

Clothes in place and his street clothes folded, Adrien relaxes on the lounger, thinking over the day and thinking about the day ahead.

Marinette stood at the bottom of the staircase, face still pink and hand pressed against her mouth so she wouldn't laugh out loud at Adrien. She heard him groan as she heads to the bathroom. Looking in the mirror she takes in her appearance. Thanking Tikki, Master Fu and the miraculous magic, Marinette is glad to see she doesn't have any injuries on her face. She carefully takes down her pigtails and pulls her shirt over her head before slipping out of her pants.

Using the full length mirror on the door, she slowly turns herself around looking for any kind of injury. Finding nothing but small bruises and scrapes, Marinette slips her pajamas on and brushes out her hair before leaving the bathroom.

Back upstairs Marinette finds Adrien dozing on her chaise lounge, too big to fully fit on it comfortably and with one arm hanging off. Reaching for her discarded purse, Marinette pulls out her phone and snaps a picture. Unfortunately, the shutter sound wakes up Adrien, who blinks up at her.

"I'm sorry, kitty. I didn't mean to wake you up." Marinette grins as he stretches and stands up, making her heart stop at the realization he was shirtless.

"No worries, Milady. Ready for bed?"

Mari nods, distracted by sleepy Adrien's voice, messy hair and abs. Adrien walks over and picks her up in a bridal carry. "Adrien! Put me down!"

"As soon as you're in bed, Purrincess." He replies, carefully climbing up to her bed and depositing her into it.

"I could have walked." Another yawn as her voice gets sleepy.

"I know." Adrien tucks her in and kisses her forehead. "Sweet dreams, Bugaboo." He turns, forcing himself to go downstairs no matter how much he wants to mimic Plagg.

Marinette reaches out and grabs his hand, sounding confused and slightly worried. "Where are you going to sleep?" Please stay with me

"I was going to go sleep on the couch. Or your lounger." Please ask me to stay with you

Marinette bites her lip. "Will you stay here with me? Please?" I don't want to be alone

Adrien tries to resist, to remind himself that he needs to be a gentleman and give her privacy. He looks at her and knows any argument is useless.

Sliding into bed next to her, Adrien pulls Marinette close "I'm not going anywhere, Bug. Just relax and get some sleep."

Marinette cuddles a little closer as Adrien presses a good night kiss against her lips, both of them falling into a deep sleep.
