Marienette marched into her room red-faced and slammed the balcony doors shut . She practically ripped the hoodie in her haste to get it of her ( She didn't, of course . She's not that ungrateful)

"How dare he ?, HOW DARE HE ?,...that insufferable, infuriating, insinuating , cocky..."

"To be fair , Mari . You did start it."

"TIKKI!..."

The little kwami snickered as she watched her human friend mumble about 'stupid cats' as she tossed the hoodie into the sink and began collecting her pyjamas to have a bath , her face as red as a tomato .

.

'Too bad , and I was thinking of giving you a kiss a a reward for helping me '

'Is that an offer , princess ? then ...I accept ...'

.

"You know , Mari . You're acting like you actually wanted him to kiss you ."

"I DID NOT . IT WAS JUST A JOKE ."

Marienette half-shouted before slamming the door to her bathroom .

Oh , that girl was so cute .

Marienette quickly scrubbed herself clean and had a nice hot bath , while fuming about what had just occurred on her balcony .

She came out in fresh pyjamas and went straight to her dairy after getting Tikki some cookies.

'Dear diary ,

Today I lost the friendship bracelet and was searching for it when I ran into Chat . He found it and decided to escort me home when something Not Normal happened .

Chat was a flirt no matter what girl he met . But I never saw him flirt with random strangers and I get that I rejected him but today .

I and Chat were having a playful conversation on our way back home and before we reached , we saw another girl leaning out her window trying to reach for something on the tree outside her window . Chat , after hiding me under the cover of some shadows , had told me to stay and wait for him .

I had a pretty good view from my spot and saw him disappear up into the shadows of the tree before seeing the girl scoot back a bit before peeking back out the window . The silhouette of Chat hanging upside down from the tree was highlighted by the light from the room the girl was in . In his hands was a little cat that was passed over to the girl who brought it inside and then he disappeared back up the tree.

Next came the interesting part.

The girl came back and was shouting something.

Chat flipped back down to his old position with a silly grin and The Girl Freaking Blushed .

Okay , that's normal . She doesn't know him , and he was a hero. But that wasn't all.

The girl leans out the window and says something with a coy look on her face and Chat blinks a bit and gives a small laugh .

Still normal . Still common .

THEN , that Complete Stranger reaches out and grabs , Grabs his inverted face and Pulls Him In For A Kiss!

THAT WAS NOT NORMAL ! And that stupid Chat should Not encourage these things . Although, Chat's eyes widened with shock as her lips came nearer , they lowered into an amused look as she made contact .

I almost threw my shoe at them .

Then the girl's eyes shot open and she was pushed back by a pair of fingers which had covered her lips .

Then I put my foot back down , shoe intact .

I watched Chat say something with a cocky grin and give a wink before pulling back up into the tree .

I warned him about encouraging that kind of behaviour and He SMIRKED and asked if I was JEALOUS ! AS IF ! Then when we reached home and I just joked around like usual cause it's easier to talk to him and I just , he said that . I ...'

She shut the book shut and buried her face in her arms groaning as she remembered what happened on her balcony just a few minutes ago .

The way her words spilled out of her blabbering mouth as they neared the bakery .

"You know , it's no wonder everyone thinks you're a flirt if you go around kissing your fans ."

The way his eyes flashed with some strange emotion before narrowing into a predators gaze as a smirk grew on his face .

"My , my , princess . Are you jealous ? If you recall properly , I Did Not kiss her . She merely thought to thank me in that manner "

The strange shiver that ran through her body at the veiled warning in his voice , fully knowing the number of times she had brushed of his affections using that excuse . She couldn't help it though . She hated that one moment where it looked like they had kissed , his eyes amused as if it was Normal for girls to want him. It Wasn't Normal.

"Maybe , if you stopped flirting , they would think to give cookies instead ."

The way her heartbeat temporarily rocketed as one arm wrapped around her waist .

"I make sure they know I don't kiss strangers . Now, where do you wish to be dropped,princess?"

The way he brought them both to her balcony with one leap . The way she felt the stupid selfish urge to prove he wasn't as much a gentleman as he claimed to be , as he proved again and again that he was. That stupid , stupid idea she had to make him flustered or something . To get the last word and act like she didn't care .

"Too bad , and I was thinking of giving you a kiss a a reward for helping me ..."

The way he froze at the sweet , faux disappointing tone of her voice , looking at her with eyes wide with disbelief as she smirked and walked to the door , before a gloved hand grabbed her hand .

The way she turned in surprise to see a wicked grin on his face with piercing bright eyes filled with mischief staring back at her , daring her to pull away as he lifted her hand to his lips to give a gentle kiss before slowly coming closer , his eyes never loosing contact with hers .

"Is that an offer , princess ?..."

The way her eyes widened at the silky , teasing tone of his voice . The way her back hit the wall and she pushed against it , still captured by his eyes as he came closer and closer before one of his arms pressed against the wall right beside her head and he looked down at her before raising one eye at her , challenging her to take back her words .

The way she ignored the pounding of her heart to stubbornly stare back at him with a similar challenge in her own eyes.

The way he grinned like a cat that just got his cream.

"...then I accept ."

The way his face came closer .

The way his eyes lowered .

The way her own eyes widened before falling back shut , the memory of his lips from long ago flashing through her mind.

.

.

The way she felt a soft pressure of his nose rubbing against hers .

The way her eyes shot open to see him move away with an amused grin on his face , his eyes twinkling in the dark . .

The way his voice dripped with satisfaction as he gave his final hit before winking and backflipping off her balcony.

"Sorry to disappoint , princess...but only my lady is allowed to taste these lips ."

.

"I DIDN'T EVEN WANT TO TAS...AHHHHHHH!..."

Tikki was still giggling .

"It was a cute kiss though ..."

"EXKIMO KISSES DO NOT COUNT !"

"So you wanted a real kiss , then ..."

"WHA...? I...? ...NO! I KNEW he wouldn't actually kiss me . I just ,...I just ...I just don't want to him to think I actually wanted him ...to ...OH MY GOSH ! HE THINKS I WANT TO KISS HIM . "

Somewhere near the eiffel tower , a dark figure was on his knees, clutching his stomach as his whole body shook .

"HAAAAHAHAHAHA! THAT WAS PRICELESS !...OH MAN !..."

Chat knew he went a bit overboard but , Man ! Who knew Marienette was so ...bold? The way she looked at him , as if daring him to actually kiss her , red-faced with challenging eyes .

She looked so dang cute !

Well , at least he knows she didn't actually think he was a shameless flirt or she wouldn't have been so confident he wouldn't just kiss her . But really , she should have given him more credit .

Oh, maybe it was a good thing she wasn't this open around him in school , if he gets swept away like this as Adrien , his dad would kill him .

'How dare he ?, HOW DARE HE ?,...that insufferable, infuriating, insinuating , cocky...'

Man , that was fun. She even made him forget about how upset he was about having to cancel the plans he had with Nino cause a photoshoot had been moved to the next day . No one asked him if he had plans though , but of course they never do , so it's his own fault for assuming he had any control over his life .

As far as his dad and Nathalie go , if his schedule is free, he's free . Plus , the fact dad doesn't really like the only real friend he has doesn't really make things any better .

He was still chuckling when he reached his house and detransformed .

"Cheese!"

Adrien watched his kwami head for his meal before turning to his computer and checking his private email . And by private , he means , the one his dad doesn't know he has and therefore can't monitor .

'No new messages '

He let out a sigh . Oh well , he'll check again next week .

"That Kate chick didn't send anything knew ?"

Adrien turned to give his kwami a reprimanding frown which was promptly ignored.

"Don't call her that . Her name's Katherine . "

"Whatever . Why don't you just switch to her instead of chasing after ladybug ? You're already rejected ."

"One -she has a boyfriend . Two -she's older than me. Three- the mere thought is mentally disturbing ."

"Mentally disturbing, huh ! Kate and Adrien sitting on a tree , k-i-..."

"Continue with that and no camembert for a week ."

"...-c-k-i-n-g."

Adrien sighed and signed out of his profile , deleted his history and closed his laptop . It's not like anyone actually meddles with his stuff but he didn't want to take the chance with something like this .

If he had just waited a few minutes , he would have received a notification.

'One new message
