1Day#16: Petting, Nuzzling, Cuddling & #17: Heartbeat

Another end of the day when night overtook the realm as Nocus, the god of night for his realm, soared the skies on his large pet owl, bringing the stars awake. The coolness of the night breezing through the realm as the spirits become more lively and roam throughout the heaven that was their home. Cleaning the grounds and clouds for a new a day.

Like he promised himself and devoted said promise, Adrien was currently huddled in Marinette's bedroom. His body leaning up slightly against the pillows as he held Marinette in an embrace against his chest.

True to his word, he had been spending the nights with his lady since that night of the nightmare. Even to this day he had yet to figure out what the mist was and what it's intentions were on Marinette. He wondered if there were others that endured what she went through.

Since he decided staying with her every night, he had yet to come across another incident of the mysteries mist entering her room, and hopefully never again.

It had been a long day as the two of them spend the day doing their training and other duties scheduled for them that the both of them felt pretty exhausted after.

So there they laid in her bedroom on the large sized bed, Adrien holding her close as she slept.

Feeling her rustle and move from discomfort, Adrien called for his transformation for Chat. The shift in attire caused Marinette to shift and snuggle closer. Craving the added warmth of his body and laid her head on top of his chest.

Chat's heartbeat picked up slightly, but soothed out as he felt his beloved rest into a eased pose. He looked down at her and admired the view of his lady as she slept. The glow of her midnight hair as the moon filtered into the bedroom through the window, to the lovely sight of her parted lips. Even when they grew up together since birth, the sight of Marinette never ceased to amaze him. He swore he could bask in her presence every minute of the day.

Maybe soon that dream will become true as their training and final year approaches.

"Your heartbeat is beautiful." He heard the soft whisper of his lady.

Looking down, Chat still saw his lady resting against his chest, eyes closed as he watched over her.

"Is that so?"

She nodded her head, teh contact and movement sending his pulse faster.

"It reminds me that you're here with me. Most importantly, when I hear your heartbeat, it makes me feel safe knowing you're here. It makes me feel grateful that the universe gave me you."

"Agreed, my princess." He grazes his fingers through her hair, a petting motion midway through. "You should get back to sleep, my lady. It's been a long day."

She hums her responds as she slowly drifts back to sleep to the sound of his heartbeat. He carefully leans up and places a kiss above her head.

Lying back down, Chat rested his head atop the pillows. His enhanced hearing picking up his lady's heartbeat as the rhythm of her heart lulls him to sleep.
