this is suuuuppperrr short, but i don't really have anything else atm :/


Her skin is warm against his suit, heating up his torso like he's holding the sun in his arms. The press of her cheek on his shoulder makes him want to shake because he is holding something so precious, but he manages to hug her tightly without a single tremble.

She has so much faith in him not to break her and it baffles him. His whole being overflows with bad luck and tragedy and yet she lies in his arms without a second thought.

He nuzzles her hair as he whispers, "You're too good for me."

It's odd, those words coming from Chat Noir's lips. Usually he was a jokester, so unserious unlike Adrien. He cringes inwardly, afraid he may have scared her off.

Instead, she lightly slaps him on his arm and huffs. "Give yourself some credit, Kitty. You're worth more than you think."

At those words he cradles her closer, his own personal sun. Her arms grip tighter in response and he feels at peace with her there. Safe.

And yet, in this moment it is as if she could break him. He's given his heart for her to watch over and she could do away with it if she ever chose to. But that's okay because he trusts her.

And she trusts him.

He kisses the crown of her head. "I love you," he murmurs into her curling hair.

She kisses his shoulder, light and warm. "I know." She pulls away to look at him, watching him with eyes made up of the warmest oceans. The stars on her skin crinkle when she smiles. Her lips are soft against his and he melts into her. She pulls away one last time to whisper, "I love you too."
