Adrien breathed out.

'It won't be that bad.' He told himself as they pulled up to the school.

It was March 1st.

First day.

Then he stepped out of the car and was suddenly overcome with the slightly-overwhelming smell of Marinette.

'How am I going to do this?' He thought, eyes instantly zoning in on where Marinette was.

How the heck did he know that she was just inside the school on the left?!

Adrien did his best to do as he normally did every day, smile and greet his classmates with a wave while trying to find Nino and Alya. But there was always that distraction- half of his mind on Marinette and getting to her to snuggle and rub himself-

He cut off that chain of thought as he heard voices along with Marinette's.

Nathaniel and Nino are with her. His mind noted, and something strange and possessive bubbled up in his stomach.

He ignored it, pretending to look around before spotting them. Although neither were standing that close to Marinette, he could almost feel the growl building itself up in his throat.

No. He internally slapped himself, walking over there with what might've been a slightly too-wide and too-fake smile. But if anyone noticed, they didn't comment.

Throughout the whole day, he could hear everything that she said. He could also tell you exactly where she was and what she was doing, without looking even if she was on the complete other side of the school and hidden by a bunch of walls.

He also noticed Chloe visibly stiffening and looking around today- so her mate had to be at school. As it was, her mate didn't get close to Marinette while Chloe was there, so Adrien couldn't say.

Adrien, in fact, found it easier to help contain his jealousy by thinking about everything they could do that night.

Which might or might not include forbidding her from talking to Nathaniel and scent marking her.

15 times.

To show them all that she was his.

Yeah, he was screwed.

He wished he could help Chloe out, but she didn't have a magical alter-ego to go and visit whoever her mate was if, so Adrien would keep it to himself.

He couldn't get to Marinette's house fast enough.

He managed to stop himself from barging into her bedroom, politely knocking. However, the second she opened it, he pounced, toppling her to the bed and keeping her there as he purred.

"Chat!" She hissed, only slightly mad, and Chat Noir couldn't stop the grin from growing on his face. "Don't scare me like that!"

"Sorry, princess." He murmured through the purr, hugging her tighter. He heard her slight huff of annoyance before her hands began to comb themselves through his hair, his purr growing deeper as he relaxed, snuggling into Marinette instinctively. A growing need to rub his scent all over her began to fight for his concentration, so he decided to focus on other things.

"Today was torture, princess." He murmured. "I'm surprised I managed to do everything that I needed to do."

"Oh?" Marinette asked, genuinely worried and concerned.

"So many guys kept on walking up to talk to you today." He said, growling a bit. Marinette instantly soothed the false-anger by rubbing his ears gently, his purr growing louder. "I don't know how I didn't act on it sooner, Mari." He breathed in deeply, letting the scent of her wash over him for probably the millionth time that day. "You smell divine, Princess."

"Why, thank you." She said with a light giggle.

Chat Noir was tempted to say, 'but scenting you would make it smell better.'

Fortunately (or unfortunately) he didn't want to scare Marinette with scent-marking her suddenly, so he refrained himself from saying it. He placed his nose in the crook of her neck, nuzzling it lightly.

They stayed like that for far longer than they normally would. In fact, they had spent most of the time just sitting there, cuddling.

"It's 10:45." Marinette muttered. Chat's ears twitched, acknowledging her voice, but refusing to acknowledge what time it was.

"I don't wanna leave." He whined, holding onto her tighter. "I wanna stay and cuddle."

"Chat." She said in a soft, slightly scolding tone. "Even if you don't- I have school tomorrow."

"Can't I spend the night?" Chat asked, looking up at her and giving her the eyes he knew she had a hard time refusing. He saw her resolve weaken.

"I don't know… Maman has a habit of coming into my room to wake me up on school days because I tend to sleep past my alarms."

"I have an internal alarm clock, Princess. I can wake you up instead." Chat stubbornly snuggled into her, purring a bit louder as he smirked.

'Come on, you know you want to cuddle with me some more too, Princess.' He thought smugly. He watched her toy with the idea for a while before he moved, flipping them over. Now he was on the bottom, arms wrapped around her back as he continued to purr, her head resting against his chest.

She sighed slightly, slowly relaxing. She claimed to feel more sleepy when they were like this. "Alright, kitty… just this… once…"

Satisfied that he had won, he nuzzled his nose into her hair and closed his eyes, sliding off into sleep.
