Sup petite papillons! This took too long and boy am I sorry. So I wanna ask you all something, would you rather I update more regularly but have shorter chapters or have to wait longer for bigger chapters?

PM me or review what you want and I will do that.

Marinette collapsed onto her bed, tears streaming down her face, her chest heaving with every sob. Tikki floated silently beside her, not wanting to interupt. It would be better if she got it all out instead of bottling it all up.

This continued for a few minutes, Marinette muttering things like 'I'm a horrible partner' and 'I don't deserve his affections'. It took a while but Tikki eventually spoke. "A-are you ok Marinette?" The small being asked, worry almost dropping from every word.

Marinette sniffed, shaking her head and letting out a muffled, "not really."

Tikki sighed, floating down to beside Marinette's face, stroking her cheek affectionately. "Why don't you finish Alya's dress? It'll help take your mind off things."

Marinette let out a deep breath before flipping onto her back and staring at the ceiling. "Yeah- yeah that sounds good." The blue-nette pushed herself into a sitting position and hopped off her bed, grabbing her sketch pad in the process.

She began sewing together different fabrics, constantly referring to her notes. Tikki knew how important this dress was to her. On more than one occasion Marinette poked herself with the needle, letting out a curse word in response then continuing with her work.

The needle barely seemed to phase her.

"Tikki, have you seen my other roll of fabric? the teen asked after about half an hour.

The kwami nodded. "Yeah, you left it out on the balcony after you spilt coffee on it."

Marinette slammed her head down on her desk. "Fuuuuuuu."

"Do not finish that word Marinette." Tikki chastised.

Marinette groaned, standing up and climbing up towards her trapdoor. She pushed it open and nearly fell off the ladder due to the wind hitting her like a brick. The girl steadied herself before climbing onto her balcony, straining her eyes to spot her fabric, praying it didn't blow away.

Marinette grabbed the railing, knowing that with her petite frame there was a risk of her falling over. There was no fabric to be seen and Marinette let out another string of curse words, dreading what her parents say. That was expensive material.

She let go of the railing to return to return to her room but a strong gust of wind hit, knocking her backwards and over the railing. A scream escaped from her lips as she scrunched her eyes together waiting the impact. But it never came.

Instead Marinette felt two powerful arms wrap around her torso, stopping her from falling. She felt herself get pulled back into the balcony and she only dared open her eyes when she felt the safety of solid material beneath her.

In the darkness it was difficult to tell who had saved her, but the narrow green eyes and messy blonde hair were unmistakeable.

Chat Noir had saved her.

He stood above her, panting from the exercise yet still managing to look heroic. He gave her a cheesy smile before helping Marinette to her feet.

"Now what is a princess like you doing outside on a night like this?" he asked, cocking his head to the side as Marinette dusted herself down. "I was looking for my fabric that I left out here, I think it blew away though." she finished with a frown.

Chat Noir looked at her before handing Marinette a roll of red fabric. "You mean this fabric?" Marinette's face instantly lit up as she took the material from Chat's hands.

"How did you find this?" the blue-nette exclaimed. "I thought it was gone for ever!"

Chat smirked. "I was heading home after Ladybug and I-" he stopped for a second, sadness over-riding his confident façade. He continued, " It's nothing, but yeah I was heading home and I got hit out of the sky by this thing. I was running in the direction it came from to return it and I seen you falling."

Marinette blushed a little. "Thank you."

Chat bowed. "It's the least a knight could do for his princess."

Marinette raised an eyebrow. "So it's official now, I'm your princess?"

Chat did one, stubborn nod. "Mine."

Marinette giggled, glancing upwards as she felt a drop of rain on her cheek. "I would invite you inside... but my room is uh- a little messy."

Marinette's head was filled with images of all her Adrien posters littering her walls.

Chat shrugged, ignoring the few extra drops landing on his hair. "I'll wait out here and you can give your room a quick clean. I don't mind."

Marinette let out a breath of relief. "Give me five minutes."

With that said the blue-nette turned( and with much struggle) climbed back into her room.

###############

There we go, finished! Once again I am sorry for the long wait but that is why I asked that question at the start. Do you want updates more frequently but shorter chapters or longer waits but bigger chapters (1,500 - 2000 words)?

Also I want to address a guest review that I answered in the reviews. What they said is 100% accurate but I doubt that this story will be the same amount of chapters online as it is on paper.

Next chapter: MORE DARN MARICHAT!

Please F/F and review.
