Chat raised his baton again, he mearly blocked the attacks from the poor girl. He could see she was fighting Hawkmoths power.
"Let her go Hawkmoth!"
The girl was crying, tears were streaming like rivers as she used all her strength to fight Hawkmoth but he was forcing her to fight.
She managed to swoop Chat Noir off his feet and to the floor and she grabbed his wrist.
"P-Please! It's in my anklet…!" She yelled to him as Hawkmoth made her reach for his ring, Chat snatched the anklet from her and it snapped, beads fell everywhere and the small black butterfly flew out.
"Not so fast!" Chat called and reached for his bell and captured the Akuma, the flutters of its wings sounded and the girl was returned to normal.
"I-I'm so sorry Chat Noir!" The girl wailed, she sat on the ground and cried, Chat smiled sadly before kneeling in front of her.
"Hey, you were fighting his influence and that's incredible! What strength!" Chat spoke, the girl sniffled.
"I'm so sorry…I only wanted to help…" She said staring at her broken bracelet.
"I appreciate your help but I wouldn't want a pretty lady like yourself to get hurt." Chat spoke, he saw the girl blush and he smiled gently as he held out his hand.
"D-Do you really think I'm pretty?" She asked embarrassed as she set her hand in his.
"Stunning." He said smiling as he helped her to her feet.
"T-Thank you!" She spoke.
"Chat Noir will protect you and this city! Hawkmoth won't bother you no more!" Chat said putting his hands on his hips with a big smile, the girl laughed.
"I know you will! You've done a fantastic job Chat Noir…thank you for all you do for us." She said.
"Of course. Thank you for believing in me…" He said, the girl smiled.
"Chat Noir! Nadja Chamack, here! Can we get a word!"
Chat placed his hand on the girls shoulder with a smile before turning to the cameras.
"Great job today Chat Noir! How were you able to defeat the villain with only defense!" She asked and put the mic in front of him, he leaned forward a bit.
"I saw that the girl was fighting against Hawkmoths influence so I simply defended until I was able to get to her Akumatized item." Chat said, Nadja pointed the mic to Rheanna.
"Amazing feat today miss! Tell us all about it!"
Rheanna blushed and timidly spoke to the press, Chat took this moment to sneak away.
"Alright, let me see if she messaged me!" Chat said happily as he removed his bell from his pocket and set it on the ground.
Chat dropped his transformation and Plagg landed on Adrien's knee and the blonde grabbed his phone, Plagg stared at the twitching bell.
One new message
From: 555-555-5555
To: Me
"I can't believe you set your name to Pun Master in my phone."
Adrien laughed and quickly typed a reply.
To: Lovebug
From: Me
"I thought it'd only be fitting my Lady! Like your name in mine!"
A reply was instant.
From: Lovebug
To: Me
"Do I even want to know?"
To: Lovebug
From: Me
"It's Lovebug my Lady!"
From: Lovebug
To: Me
"Change it now."
To: Lovebug
From: Me
"Are you ready for me princess?"
Adrien tried to ignore the suggestive way that sounded.
From: Lovebug
To: Me
"Afraid so, I have snacks."
Adrien rolled his eyes.
To: Lovebug
From: Me
"Then I'll be there soon my Lady!"
Adrien put his phone away then grabbed the bell before getting to his feet.
"You two make me sick."
"Shut up Plagg, claws out!"
Marinette rolled her eyes before setting her phone down.
"You two are so cute." Tikki gushed, Marinette blushed.
"Hush you." Marinette said sticking her tongue at the Kwami, Tikki giggled.
Marinette put her finished onesie in the closest and looked at herself in the mirror, her hair still in a bun and she was now in Capri leggings and a huge pink sweater, she tilted her head and her hair flopped to the side. She blushed when she looked at her collarbone, the spot where Chat's claws barely grazed and she was shivering.
"Oh Tikki…" She mumbled placing her hand on her chest.
Knock knock
Marinette scurried to let Chat Noir in, he landed gracefully inside.
"Hello Lovebug." He greeted with a huge smile, Marinette smiled.
"Don't call me that." She spoke and sat in her rolly chair.
"But it suits you my lady!" Chat said sitting on her lounge, she wheeled over.
"Never." She spoke, Chat smiled and pulled out the bell.
"Whenever you're ready Princess." He spoke.
Marinette stared at the bell then looked to Tikki, the Kwami floating next to her nodded her head and Marinette returned the nod.
"Tikki, spots on!"
Marinette was engulfed in pink light and she gasped when she was filled with Ladybugs power and strength, she'll never tire of the feeling, her eyes met Chats.
"Release."
Chat tapped his bell and it opened, the small butterfly flying free. Ladybug easily captured the butterfly in her magical yoyo and gently tapped the top with her nose.
"Bye bye little butterfly…" She whispered as the white beauty flew out the window.
"Spots off!"
Marinette caught Tikki and placed her in her plate of treats.
"How'd it go?" Marinette asked sitting in her lounge chair. "You weren't gone for long."
"The girl was named Rheanna and she was actually fighting against Hawkmoths power, she didn't want it." Chat explained sitting on the floor next to her.
"Really?"
"Yeah I know! She didn't cause any damage or anything, I only blocked her attacks and destroyed the Akumatized item when I had the opening." Chat said.
"It was a good change of pace. She was really sweet though, she only wanted to plant flowers and do something for us." He said.
"That was sweet of her." Marinette said smiling.
"Mhmm, she was a nice girl. The press were excited to hear her story so I managed to sneak away when they started asking her questions." He said.
"I bet Nadja Chamack was the most ecstatic."
"Definitely."
The duo stared at each other for a minute before they looked away, Marinette smiled and glanced at Chat again and noticed his ear twitch.
Marinette couldn't resist and reached out to scratch just behind his cat ears, he instantly melted next to her, his cheek fell against her knee and he almost purred, she giggled and continued to run her fingers through Chat's hair and the hero was loving every second of it. He rubbed his cheek into her knee and purred.
"Oh my Lady." He purred aloud, Marinette blushed.
"You have magic fingers." He spoke smiling.
"I am pretty skilled with them, years of practice." Marinette said with a chuckle.
"Bless your fingers." He spoke, Marinette gently scratched his scalp with her fingers and Chat was putty in her hands.
"If you keep this up my Lady then I'll be asleep." He said quietly as he looked up at the girl, she smiled.
"A little chat nap never hurt nobody." She mused, he smirked.
"That's my Lady." He said and climbed onto the lounge, he stretched out with a yawn before resting his head on Marinette's lap.
"Then I'll gladly nap if you keep working your magic." He spoke, Marinette gladly put her hand back in his unruly hair, it was thick but super soft and smelled of apples.
As Chat had said, a few minutes into petting his hair and the blonde hero was unconscious, his gentle snores ringing into her bedroom.
"He's so precious." Tikki mused smiling.
"He kinda reminds me of Adrien." Marinette spoke as she pushed some of the bangs from his eyes.
"Why's that?" Tikki asked completely unfazed, Marinette shrugged.
"His hair is the same shade of blonde for one and I feel Adrien is…longing for someone…" Marinette began.
"Longing for someone?" Tikki asked.
"Well I get the feeling he's wanting attention and love, he wants to be cared for." Marinette spoke.
"Really?"
"Well it's none of business but I feel he doesn't get enough love at home. He seems lonely and I can see in his face sometimes that longing expression." Marinette spoke.
"Mhmm."
"But I can also see that expression on Chat, I have no idea who he is really or anything about him at all but I get the feeling that he's in the same boat as Adrien." Marinette spoke.
Chat shifted and curled into Marinette, he released a breath before settling. The bluenette brushed his hair away from his neck and tucked a few strands behind his ear.
"He's tense." Marinette noted.
"The life of a superhero isn't easy you know." Tikki noted.
"No fooling?" Marinette asked, Tikki giggled.
Marinette smiled and continued to run her fingers through Chat Noir's hair.
Bzzzzz Bzzzzz
Marinette quickly snatched her phone to see Alya was video chatting her, she answered.
"Hey." Marinette spoke quietly.
"Hey girl, how you feeling?" Alya asked.
"Good." Marinette spoke.
"Why are you talking so quietly?" Alya asked.
"I have a cat napping on me." Marinette spoke with a giggle, Alya raised an eyebrow.
"Since when have you had a cat?" She asked.
Marinette simply smiled and held her phone farther away to saw Chat Noir cuddling into her before pulling the phone close.
"WHATTTTTTT!?" Alya all but yelled.
"Alya!"
"Why are you yelling?"
"Because Nino! Marinette has been keeping some good shit from me!" Alya yelled, Marinette giggled and ran her fingers through the hero's hair, Alya glared at her.
"How long have you been keeping this CAT!?" Alya asked putting emphasis on the word cat.
"Hmm, wouldn't you like to know." Marinette mused.
"MARINETTE DUPAIN-CHENG, I DID NOT TEACH YOU TO USE THAT TONE WITH ME. ONLY OTHER PEOPLE, I WANT DEETS NOW."
Marinette felt Chat stir.
"Opp, cat naps over, laters!" Marinette said laughing at the look on Alya's face before hanging up.
"Hmmm, princess?"
"Hello sleeping beauty." Marinette said chuckling, the blonde smiled.
"I only see one beauty here." He mused before running a claw gently down Marinette's arm, her chuckles died down as a blush overcame her.
"I liked you better napping." Marinette spoke looking away.
"Mmm, your lap is comfortable. I was out in seconds." Chat mused looking up at her.
"I was running my fingers through your hair." She said with a smile.
"I know and it was heaven." He reasoned.
"You seemed to enjoy it a lot." Marinette spoke.
"Of course, haven't you had someone run their fingers through your hair?" Chat asked.
"I mean, Alya does from time to time."
"Come here princess."
Chat rose to his feet and pulled Marinette to her own before planting her back down, she sat next to her and patted his lap.
"Go on, lay down."
"Chat-"
"Trust me."
Marinette looked into his eyes then sighed, she laid down and rested her head on the blonde's lap and Chat put a pillow under her arm for support.
"Comfy?"
"Mhmm."
"Good."
Chat stared into her blue eyes as she started at the crown of her head then pushed his nails through her hair, she shivered.
Chat continued to run his clawed fingers through her hair, occasionally gently scratching her scalp and Marinette had to resist her shivers because fuck, this feels amazing.
"Still with me Princess?" Chat asked, Marinette hummed. Chat didn't stop, he continued his assault on Marinette's amazing dark blue locks, it was thick and how he wished he could feel it with his bare hands. Her hair smelled of daisies and Chat smiled as he enjoyed the smell.
Marinette understand what he meant now, she felt in heaven, his claws doing wonders.
Chat opened his eyes and saw hers were still closed, a small playing on her pale pink lips and her cheeks were rosy, her freckles evident on her skin, had they always been there? He never noticed but he was glad to finally gaze at his Lady up close, she was absolutely beautiful.
Chat Noir leaned forward before he realized it and placed a gentle kiss to her forehead, his lips lingered before he pulled away and met her shocked blue eyes, he turned crimson.
"S-Sorry! I don't know what came over me!" He spoke frantically.
"I-It's okay!" She insisted, she swore she heard Tikki's giggles from somewhere in her room but before they could say anything else, Chat Noir's ring beeped.
"You have five minutes." She spoke sitting up, he frowned slightly.
"I don't wanna go." He whined.
"Chat."
"..."
"Chatttt."
"..."
Beep Beep
"Chat Noir."
Chat pouted, his bottom lip jutting out and Marinette had to turn away.
"You can't get me with those eyes." She said, he shifted to face her and wiggled his eyebrows, she bit her lip to hold in her laugh.
"No not the eyebrows either!" She insisted.
Chat turned to face her again.
"Nope."
Beep Beep
"Chatttt!"
"My Ladyyyy!"
"You two are adorable."
"Tikki!"
"I like you Tikki!"
"I mean it Chat!"
"But my Lady!"
"Butts are for chairs!"
Beep Beep
"Chat!"
Marinette had all but to shove the hero to the stairs.
"I'll message you okay!" She told him, he instantly smiled.
"Yay! I'll look forward to your message then my Lady!" He said smiling brighter before kneeling and grasping her hand.
"Yeah yeah…" She spoke with a blush as he kissed her knuckles.
Beep Beep
Chat was up the ladder out and shut the trap door just as his transformation dropped.
"Tell your girlfriend to give me food." A very grumpy Plagg grumbled when Adrien caught him, the blonde smiled brightly before knocking on the trap door.
"My Lady?" He mused, smiling calling her that out of costume.
"I swear Chat Noir, why did you do this! You drop your transformation on my balcony!" He heard Marinette's voice, he chuckled.
"Because I didn't want to go Lady! But I have a grumpy Kwami who needs something to eat, do you mind?" He asked.
He heard nothing and smiled when Marinette opened the door and held out a plate of treats but only her arm came out, she refused to look at him, it was dangerous with him just on her balcony, she closed her eyes tightly as she waited for him to accept the plate. She lightly gasped when his ungloved hand covered hers as he took the plate, she flushed.
"Thank you." He spoke and Marinette quickly shut the door and hid her red face.
"Eat up Plagg."
The kwami chowed down on the food until he was full.
"I'll leave the plate on the table." Adrien spoke, he heard Marinette's okay.
He quickly transformed and triple checked to make sure no one was watching and then fled the building.
Marinette sighed as she sat on her lounge and looked at her hand.
"He touched my hand...why am I so flustered?" Marinette asked, Tikki smiled.
"Tikki, I think I'm falling in love…"
"I think I'm falling more in love Plagg!" Adrien said happily as he fell onto his bed and almost squealed like a middle school girl about her crush.
"Yeah yeah." He replied chowing down on his Camembert.
"I have a good feeling for us." Adrien spoke with a longing smile, Plagg smiled to himself.
Kids got it bad.
To: Lovebug
From: Me
"Morning my Lady! I hope you have a wonderful day!"
From: Lovebug
To: Me
"It's too early, go to bed."
To: Lovebug
From: Me
"No can do, my say started way earlier but I wouldn't want you to be late for school!"
From: Lovebug
To: Me
"Shit, I'll be late!"
Adrien laughed to himself.
"What's so funny?" Nino asked.
"Oh nothing." Adrien mused.
"Crap, crap, crap!"
Marinette rushed to get ready and to hopefully not be late.
"I blame that cat!" She said pulling on shoes with one hand.
"How so?" Tikki mused.
"He kept me up all night with his texts!" She said.
"Well you're just as guilty as he is." Tikki argued.
"Just be upset with me!"
Tikki smiled and rolled her eyes.
To: Pun Master
From: Me
"I blame you."
Marinette brushed her hair when her phone pinged.
From: Pun Master
To: Me
"What for my Lady?"
To: Pun Master
From: Me
"Your messages kept me up all night and I'll risk being late now!"
From: Pun Master
To: Me
"You kept me up all night too my Lady but I don't mind in the slightest."
"Curse him."
Marinette ran up to Alya, Nino and Adrien with a huff.
"And with a few minutes to spare." Nino mused.
"Shush."
"I like your shirt Marinette." Adrien said smiling, Marinette looked at her outfit.
She wore faded blue skinny jeans with a pink tank top that read 'running late is my cardio' in white cursive text. Her hair was down and she had a pink bow with white lace trim in her hair, she blushed and brushed a strand behind her ear.
"Thanks." She said smiling.
Ringggggg
Everyone rushed to their first class and sat in their seats, Nino and Alya must hate Marinette because she got to sit next to Adrien again, she narrows her eyes at the couple, they smiled innocently.
"Alright everyone, you'll be assigned to your groups today."
Everyone as paired in groups of four and fate was kind to put Marinette, Adrien, Nino and Alya together.
"Awesome!" Nino said fist bumping Adrien.
"Get together and decide on what you'll do for your project, class time today will be only this."
The four easily chose a subject and wrote down notes and important things to use on their project and it was five minutes till the bell.
"What's your number Adrien? So I can have it for our project." Alya asked.
"I-I'll need it too…" Marinette spoke blushing, Adrien wrote down the number and Marinette pulled up her new contact and happily and giddily put Adrien's number in her phone but was shocked when she saw the existing contact option pop up for the number.
Who…?
Existing contact:
Pun Master
