~Chat Noir~

I'm going to do it, I'm going to surprise my love today. It's the most romantic day of the year and I'm going to treat my princess like a queen. She is the best and deserves the best so I'm going to give her the best. I got her the finest dark chocolate in town that was made today, plus a bouquet of a different arrangement of flowers. Including alstroemerias, carnations, dahlias, gladiolus, lilies, cymbidium orchids, peonies, sunflowers, tulips, and a single red rose in my mouth. I want to treat her like she deserves and I couldn't do it as a civilian not yet at least. Then the Chat problem, I can't exactly go out and treat her to an amazing date with everyone staring at us. So here I am on her balcony ready to treat her to a night she will never forget. Whatever she wants to do, if she just wants to talk and get to know each other better I'm completely fine with that. But if the night decides otherwise... Well, I won't object to that. Ahh, there she is...

*arrives at her balcony then taps on the glass to let her know of his arrival*

"H-hello Chat!" She is surprised and stumbles over herself obviously not expecting Chat Noir's visit. "W-what are you doing here in my room?" Her face is flustered and is turning red.

"Well, it's the most romantic night of the year and I wanted to give the most amazing girl something to remember." Wow, she looks stunning today. I usually don't like shaming myself in ogling over my incredibly beautiful woman. I take pride in making her feel respected. But today she is really asking to be looked at with the killer dress, and can you blame a guy? You can only do so much until you have to feast your eyes on this gorgeous women. The dress is magnificent with every stitch you can see the hard work she does. This girl is so talented it blows me really outdid herself with this one. The dress caresses every curve on her body showing how lucky I really am. It makes her look strong and sweet at the same time. So sweet I want to devour her, but I can't. At least not until she allows me to. But she seems a little flustered by my visit. I wonder if this was a bad idea? Did she not want me to come visit her tonight? Hmmm, I wonder...

"Oh, you didn't have to do that..." She says not looking at him doing, and actually doing everything she can to avoid eye contact.

"Oh, but Princess I wouldn't dream of not visiting you today of all the nights. This is the night for lovers and to show devotion to each other. I wouldn't want to spend a day or any other day without you..." He says with a small blush on his face.

"Chat, is that why you really came?" She says with a questioning look on her face.

"But of course, I would only want to see you. I would want to see you anytime, why is it so hard to believe me. O-oh and I got you these for today." He hands over the flowers and chocolate. She gently takes them admiring them in wonder.

"Kitty," the blush deepening on her face. "These are beautiful, and the chocolate looks incredible. But what about the rose you are holding are you going to give it to me?" Raising an eyebrow at her kitty.

"You mean the one in my mouth?"

"What other rose would I be talking about?" Gaining her confident back, she gives him a small smile.

"Well, how badly do you want this rose?"

"I want it pretty badly..."

"Okay then." He comes closer to her and leans in so their noses are touching. "Ask and you will receive." He put the rose from his mouth into hers giving her a kiss on the nose once it is in her mouth. "Anything else the Princess demands?" He says giving her one of his famous Chat Noir grins. She removes the rose and places her right hand on his cheek. Then she moves down and starts tickling his chin until he purrs.

"Purr-rincess what are you doing?" Purring more, with a silly grin on his face showing that he loves what she is doing.

"I thought you said this was the day to show affection to your loved ones? But if you want me to stop I'll stop." Slowing down her pace but not stopping.

"No, don't I want you to keep going. What was that? Are you giving me the honor of being one of your loved ones? May I ask in what form?"

"Form of what?"

"Princess please," Giving her a pleading look. "I need to know this."

"Know what?"

"This is important to me." He removes her hand and looks her straight in the eyes.

"What is it you want to know Chat?"

"I want to know what you think of me? What are we? What's your plan for us?" He says almost begging her to respond. I know I may be asking for a bit too much, but gosh darn it I'm in LOVE with this girl. She has driven me crazy, and I'm hopelessly in love with her. Everything about her makes me happy and makes my heart flutter. From the responses, she gives to Adrien. Being shy and tongue-tied, to the strong woman I see before me. I could see a future with her. Spending every single day of my life making her happy. She is the girl of my dreams, and yes I have feelings for somebody else but nothing not even Ladybug compares to her. I am hopelessly devoted to her. I can see myself putting a ring on her finger and sayin the words I do one day. I just want to know if my efforts are vaild attempts or just a bother to my Princess. I need to know that this is real, and I'm not just a fool. This might be the most selfish act I have ever done, but this is something for my sanity. Which is pretty important to me.

"Chat..." She looks away from him with a guilty look on her face.

"Please, I need to know this. The answers to my questions will probably determine my sanity." Speaking in a joking tone as an effort to keep the mood light. A light laugh escapes her lips, but then a harsh tone of voice comes from her.

"And what if the answers aren't what you want?"

"I've accepted any outcome and will respect your decision on it no matter what." Speaking firmly, then grabs her head gently forcing her to look at him.

"There's something you need to know. You need to know before anything can happen. Or before I can even dream of answering your questions."

He speaks a little hesitantly, with millions of suggestions going through his head.

"O-okay whatever it is, I'm a big boy I can handle it."

"It's pretty bad..."

"Just tell me what it is Marinette, please."

"Chat, you aren't going to like it, but I feel like you should know this before we can go any farther."

"Okay"

"I-I," she stumbles over her words, very reluctant to tell him what she needs to say.

"Mari, please tell me." He no longer has any emotion in his voice but only speaks in a soft voice.

"I have feelings for someone else!" Rapidly spitting out those words, like they are poison in her mouth.

"What?" The shock takes over him as he can only stare at her.

Tears start forming in her eyes, "It wasn't intentional. One was before I meet you. And well the other person we went on a friend date today. I couldn't commit to him because of you."

"Wait, there are two guys?"

"Yes, one of them won't ever notice me. And well the other, we went out today."

"Is that who you made this dress for?" Speaking very softly, and closing his eyes not being able to look at the dress.

"No. I actually made it for myself, and was hoping that you would be the one to see me in the dress first."

"I just don't understand. I'm I not enough?"

"No, don't think like that I-" He cuts her off in the middle of her sentence getting more hurt by the minute.

"Then what should I be thinking right now?"

"I don't know, but please let me explain!" Pleading him to hear her out. Fearing that she is driving him away.

"What is it that needs explaining?" Saying every word harshly to emphasize his feelings right now.

"Chat..."

"I'm leaving now." He turns away to leave but she grabs his arm determined not to let him go.

"Chat Noir, love you!" Saying it loudly with no hesitation. Tears rolling down her face he stops in his place.

"What?"

"I love you. I said it. I love you. I'm in love with you. I'll yell it so all the world can hear me. I'm in love with you."

"Don't say anything you don't mean."

"I mean it."

"Then what about the others?"

"I don't know. I happen to have feelings for them too."

"How?"

"I can't explain it myself. It's not something that can be explained. All I know is my heart and head are confused about many things. But not about how I feel about you. About us." He turns around and wipes the teardrops from her face.

"I love you too."

"I'm just very confused. I don't want to hurt you, but I have to be honest with you. My feelings are out of my control, but I know for a fact that I am deeply in love with you."

"So what do you want to do?"

"I don't know..."

"Well there is one thing."

"What is it? I don't need space if that's what you are about to suggest."

"No, I was thinking about an open relationship. I want you to be with me, but I also want you to know exactly who you want. I will fight for you no matter the challenge. Eventually you will be mine and only mine but for now you need to think. And besides I have an advantage over them."

"What would that be?"

"I have cat like reflexes and charming good looks on my side. Plus I know I occupy the largest amount of your heart. I won't give up."

"Kitty," He leans down and gives her a passionate kiss to reassure her he will win. Then they have their foreheads against each other, all eyes closed nobody wanting to spoil the moment.

"I should probably go. I appreciate the honesty, I know it wasn't easy for you to tell me that."

"I love you, please know that I love you."

"I do, but I also know you need to sort out your feelings. Until next time, my love." And with that he was off into the night.

I never expected that. It hurts to know I share my Princess with others but I couldn't expect someone as amazing as her to just let me win with some sort of obstacle. And besides I'm always up for a good challenge. This is one of my hardest ones. But I know I can win. Time to plan a strategy, because I know I won't give up easy and I won't let anybody win with them trying their very hardest. This is it. I'm not backing down.
