She felt his presence behind her like the tingling of flames, but she didn't say anything as she felt his arms loop around her waist or as he kissed her neck; he hadn't made a sound when he'd walked up behind her, and she wondered if it had anything to do with the fact that he was still transformed from this morning's Akuma battle.
Marinette couldn't help the fact that her face lit up in a radiant smile at his touch; it still felt almost new even though they'd been married for three years now.
She spun to face him, just to lean up and kiss his kitty ears and his cheeks; she adored the easy way that they moved together now after all of this time, and she couldn't help but lean up further and kiss his lips.
Marinette couldn't help her own smile even when he detransformed into her own arms, and she nestled closer against him, leaning close to him.
It was unbelievable that while so much stayed the same, so much changed too; it was wonderful to know just what to do to be there for her husband and his Kwami too, and it was wonderful on late night patrols to just talk and laugh on quiet nights, sometimes steal a kiss here or there.
Ladybug loved how after patrols, it often felt like a date night, as if they could have them more often now.
Her smile only grew softer when he asked if he could help her make breakfast and as she let him stand beside her and work with her.
Sometimes even among silence, joy grew louder still.
