1Day#26: Midnight Serenade

16 Years Old

To her surprise, the special rendezvous that Adrien had planned was a little further than she expected. Though, it was a beautiful and breathtaking sight that see had ever seen.

No don't get her wrong, she's seen some pretty amazing and beautiful things. But to see an extravagant and romantic set up done by the love of her life felt more special than anything done by another or natural.

For the guarded location that he took her to, the couple came upon a hidden garden located near the end of one of the five sections of their realm. To say in simple terms, it ended up requiring Adrien to transform into Chat Noir and carry Marinette in his arms as he made a speedy run across the third inner circle of the realm to reach the destination.

The garden that they stood in had the fifteen foot bush walls neatly trimmed to perfection, not a leaf out of place, roses or red and white, and her favorite, pink, fully bloomed as they scattered along the four walls that surrounded them. In the center, Marinette saw a large blossom tree, fireflies glistening within the leaves as they sparkled against the darken skies. Blossoms fully bloomed in different areas, the sweet smell filling the air. Vines hung low as small white flowers bloomed and glowed brightly like a small flame as it lit the small area.

Below, settled near the base of the tree, stood a polished wooden piano, set up and ready to play as Chat took hold of her hands and walked Marinette towards the piano seat.

Sitting down, she watched as Chat took the other side and began playing lovely tunes from the instrument as both swayed and were lulled to the soothing notes.

Song after song, Adrien played songs he wrote for his beloved under the stars as Marinette clasp her hands over her chest in bliss listening to the magic that stood before her.

What felt like hours was a simple thirty minute mini concert for one as Chat ended his final piece as the she listened to the final note played. Listening to the beautiful tune fade Marinette took a deep breath as she let herself embrace the gift that Chat had given her.

"That was wonderful, thank you, minou."

"Anything for you, my princess."

She leant forward and placed her lips against his for a lovers kiss. "Thank you. I assume this was the special surprise you snuck me out for?"

"Partially."

Chat rotated until he and Marinette was looking at each other and took her hands in his.

"My lady, the songs that I played for you could never come close to how much my heart beats for you and how much love flows through me when I get to spend every moment with you." She felt him tighten his grip as tears pulled to the surface of her eyes as she continued to gaze into his. His own glistening with unshed tears. "Since our birth, the universe had blessed this unlucky cat with an amazing, wonderful, and headstrong lady that was willing to give her heart to me. You became my best friend, someone who would listen when I feel down, and you became the love of my life that I can share and spoil," Chat rubbed his nose with hers as it brought out a watery chuckle from his beloved, "and became the one that always stood and still stands beside me."

Chat looked behind Marinette, "Tikki?"

Marinette looks over her shoulder to see her kwami float over holding a small golden box. Letting go of her hands, Chat took the box as Tikki floated and landed on the piano keys beside them.

Turning back to his lady, Chat gave her a nervous smile and held her gaze as he opened the golden box. He watched as Marinette glanced down and her hands flew to cover mouth as tears streamed down her face.

"My lady, my Marinette. Would you continue to bless this unlucky cat and become my lady forever as my bride?"

Without hesitation, Marinette jumped forward beside him and wrapped her arms around him as she chanted yes in his shoulder. Chat embraced his lady in his arms as he held her close. Relief and bliss flowing through his body as both their hearts beat joyfully.

Pushing her head away from his shoulder, Marinette says "Yes," and gives her now fiance a deep kiss as Chat graciously and without hesitation in return.

Breaking the kiss, Chat removes the silver band and places it on Marinette's left ring finger. The diamonds gifted from their parents sparkling against the stars and fireflies.

She looks back at her fiance's loving spring green eyes as her own glisten with new tears.

"Thank you, for making this night special, minou."

"No, my love, my lady, thank you."

And he sealed it with another kiss.

A/N: I decided not to do Day 27: Sin. Figured you have Heavenly Love for that ;3
