Brow furrowed, Marinette glared down at the page, her head leaning as the tilted the page just so, drawing out the curve just right. Crumbs fell away from the cookie clutched in her mouth, little bits bouncing off the page, falling to the floor before the oblivious artist could notice them.

So caught up in her work, she didn't see the dark glove reaching for her till it grasped her chin, turning her head up.

Marinette blinked in surprise when she met slanted green eyes, felt a nose brushing against hers, and hot breath blowing over her lips. With a slight jolt, the cookie was torn in half, and Malin drew away with pink cheeks, eating up the larger half, tail curving about mischievously. Blushing, Marinette quickly ate her smaller half and stuttered, "Th-that was my cookie!"

With a cheeky smile, Malin said, "You weren't eating it."

"I-I was gonna..."

He chuckles, leaning over her, ear twitching against her hair. "Sure you were."

She huffs, but nuzzled him back, grinning when he made a loud happy hum.

Turning, she plucked another cookie off the near plate, but before she could take a bite, it was snatched from her fingers. Blinking, she turned to Malin, pouting. "Seriously?"

Malin grinned, shrugging unapologetically. "I am a pirate, and a clever fox," he said, "stealing treasure is what I do." Holding up the cookie, he said, "I'll steal the greatest sweets," he took her bare hand, bringing it up to press a kiss her knuckles, mumbling against her soft skin, "and the heart of the most beautiful princess."

Marinette blushed, and snorted. Taking his hand, she lowered it, drawing in close with a shy, sly smile. "Such a devious pirate you are," she purred, grinning as his eyes grew wide, a blush on his cheeks. "I don't know any who have been able to win the heart of a princess."

Malin licked his lips. "I could name a few in stories, of pirates and thieves winning the love of fair, noble maidens..." He drew close, head tilting just so; only for her to teasingly draw away, smirking as she took a bite of a cookie.

Pouting at her, Malin moved to bite into his cookie, only to pause when his teeth bit down on air.

Looking down, he blinked in surprise to see that he was no longer holding a cookie.

Wide eyed, he turned and gaped at her, surprised. "Did... did you just steal my cookie?"

"You stole it first," she said. "I just got it back." With a grin, she tweaked one of his ears, making him jolt slightly. "It's called a hustle sweetheart."

He laughed, cackling in glee. "Such a clever bird," he praises, grinning mischievously. "I had no idea how sneaky you could be."

She hums, leaning back and boasting, "You have no idea."

Humming, he leans over, resting his head on her shoulder, one ear scrunched up from pressing on her cheek. "I kinda want to propose a challenge," he said.

She hums with interest.

"Clever, regal bird versus the most clever, handsomest fox ever. Who is the better thief?"

She gasps. "A stealing competition?!"

"More like a swiping one," he said, leaning away with a coy smile. "Tomorrow at school, we have one day to swipe precious items, the one who gets the most wins. And of course, we return them the next day."

She snorts. "Have you ever watched Dora the Explorer?"

"As a kid yes, personally I think Swiper is a truly underappreciated character. But it changes nothing!" Leaning over, he pressed, "Come on Princess, I want to see who's the better thief. Whose the most clever of us two."

She hums, contemplating.

"We'll only withhold the items for a day," he promises.

She shoots him a look. "What items?"

"Something important, that would be hard to snatch. But not important enough to take, like cell phones. No taking those. People could need them."

"Alright," she agreed.

"I'm thinking small things, like say... Chloe's sunglasses. That little ladybug charm on Alya's cell. Nino's headphones. Stuff like that."

"I'm guessing you will have a list tomorrow?"

"I will, Princess."

She hums again, sparing him a glance. She felt a spark of competitiveness as his smugness, eyes narrowing as his grin grew. "You're on," she agreed, holding out a hand for him.

He drew it to his lips, pressing a kiss to her knuckles. "May the most clever of us win," he bid.

ever since I've started this, I've been dying to slip in one or two Zootopia quotes ;3
