Chapter 2 ~ The cat with the plan
The blonde model's eyes darted around the room frantically as he sat at the foot of his bed, holding his phone to his ear. He bit his lip as he tried to think something to say to his bluenette princess. "What exactly did Alya say to you?" Adrien spoke softly into the device in his hold. He heard Marinette take another deep breath, yet a more calmer one this time. "Okay, well, after I left the Tower earlier, I came home to my room to get ready for school." "Mhmm." He hummed, signaling her to proceed. "While I was getting everything ready, my phone went off in my pocket so I took it out and I saw I was receiving a call from Alya. I accepted the call and was about to greet her after holding my phone up to my ear, when she just started rambling loudly! She was talking so fast, I only understood some words; "Girllll you're in so much trouble, better tell me, he was in their, Ladybug and Chat freaking Noir, trap door, need full deets, explaining to do" and crap. And immediately shouted into the phone, yelling that I would see and talk to her at school and hung up. And that's when I called you, Adrien."
The green eyed hero stared through the window with a blank poker face. "Uh...A-Adrien? Are you ther-" Adrien tilted his head back and laughed heartily. It was deep sounding. Mellow. Calming. Like a deep river washing over a path of stones. Yet, the lean Blonde fell from where he was sitting, interrupting her and waking up Plagg. Marinette glared at nothing as she mumbled, "Just what you'd expect from the ally cat", and continued to finish the left over cookies she didn't eat earlier from Chat's late night visit. She wanted to be upset with him, but the sound of his sweet honey-like laugh was enough to make her pink lips turn into a beautiful, yet small smile. She absolutely loved it when she heard the model laugh, for as it was somewhat unusual to ear his charming yet dorky laugh. Once Adrien's angelic laughter finally died, Plagg flew over to him and landed on his head. "I'm extremely hungry, kid. Serve me breakfast." He demanded his wielder as he pulled on his golden blonde locks. Adrien chucked, wiping away a tear that escaped his gorgeous vivid eyes, sat back on his bed. He ignored Plagg's remark, making the little dark Kwami pout. Adrien sat up and adjusted his hold on his phone. "I'm sorry, Purrincess~ Imagining Alya and her rambling, it's just typical." He snickered, making his partner roll her blue bell eyes.
"This is serious, Adrien! She could have figured out that I'm one of Paris's heroes! She's the best reporter out there and my secret would get around the world!" The anxious teen yelled into the phone once again, causing Adrien to abruptly tear his phone away from his ear. Adrien cringed at Marinette's high pitched yelling but chuckled at her reaction. "Mari, you really think Alya, your best friend, who always has your back no matter what, would expose your identity?" Adrien smiled, trying to calm down his blue haired partner with a calm, soothing voice. Marinette stopped for a second before looking at a framed photograph of Alya and herself placed perfectly on her desk. She smiled sadly, looking at how happy they looked in the photo. Alya would never betray her trust, and Marinette would never have second doubts about her. "You're right..." She giggled softly, earning a smirk from Adrien. "Of course I'm right! Did you forget who you're talking to? I'm pawsitively the Chat's meow~" Marinette heard the cocky blonde teen laugh afterward his little remark.
Marinette mentality screamed and rolled her eyes. 'Son of a gun, you'll be the death of me.' She heard soft giggles coming from her bed, and saw Tikki, holding her small lips with her tiny little hands. The blunette gave the little red Demi god 'the look' and Tikki hid herself away from the teen's sight, still giggling her heart out. Marinette smiled at her Kwami's behavior before turning her attention back to her cellphone. "Did YOU forget who you're speaking to, Monsieur? Sorry to bug you, but I'm lucky enough to actually recognize my partner, unlike others." She smirked as the line went silent on the other end. She suddenly heard loud, roaring burst of laughter. Laughter she didn't recognize, but was still proud of herself for making a good comeback.
Adrien was still in a slight shock state (from both her remark and puns) as he heard Plagg burst out laughing, holding his tiny black stomach while tearing up. Adrien quickly turned to face the black kwami a gave him a slight annoyed death glare, obviously going unseen by Plagg. One second the little cat was laughing out of breath, and the next he was hit by a white pillow thrown by his holder. Plagg stopped laughing as soon as the pillow made contact with him at full force, knocking him across the room and landed on one of his white leather sofas. Having trouble lifting the pillow off him, Plagg scoffed and groaned loudly. "Rude!" Adrien snickered at the small creature's muffled voice. "Oh M'Lady... I could recognize you from across the country. I'd know whenever you're near." He purred into the phone with a slick smirk across his handsome features. "Oh really? How about the time Lady Wifi got akumatized? You thought Chloe was Ladybug, sweetie. She doesn't even have the same hair color as I do." Mari argued back as she walked over to her closet and picked out a fresh clean outfit to wear that day.
"That was ONE time, Buginette, one time!" He assured her as he stood up from his white bed and walked into his fairly large bathroom, waving his finger to emphasize his point. He changed his white over shirt and applied a decent amount of his Gabriel designer brand cologne. He grabbed his silver comb from the cabinet under the sink and combed his soft blonde locks as he heard his blue headed partner giggle. He smiled admirably at the sound of her melody like laugh, so sweet and innocent. "We better get to school soon, it's almost time." Marinette warned Adrien as she glanced at her alarm clock on her night table. "How about we walk to school together? We'll be the new 'It' couple! Imagine us walking, hand in hand happily, with love struck faces as we stare deeply at each others eyes." Adrien sighed at the thought of finally being able to call Marinette His. But his thoughts were too soon interrupted by the designers' scoff.
"Why do I get the feeling you've thought about this over and over a million times?" Marinette sassily remarked. But in reality, she was about to collapse to floor as she heard Adrien fantasizing, twirling a loose lock of hair in her finger while trying not to do her usual fangirl squeal. How did she get so lucky??? She felt her heart beating heavily as she, too, imagined Adrien and herself on a romantic date. "Oh princess, I HAVE~" The blonde purred into the phone with a smug smirk. This time she was sure she would collapse. "How 'bout this... I'll go ask Natalie if I can go to a near by Café to eat breakfast with a close friend before school and that we'll walk to school together afterwards? Which in reality, I'll be barging in to your humble home, steal you away and escort you to school as your knight in shining leather?"
Marinette giggled softly as he shared his plan with her. "Sounds like a plan!" She agreed a little too fast, causing Adrien to smile brightly and excitedly. "G-great!! I'll see you soon bugaboo! Love you!" Was the last thing Marinette heard before her crush ended the call.
He said the L word...
He said he loves me...
Love.
A loud, high pitched squeal brought the young designer back from her thoughts, making her look around the room with a small, fazed smile. "I'm so happpy for you, Marinette!" Tikki congratulated her holder in a bubbly chirp. Tikki higgged the side of Mari's cheek, feeling the warmth from her blushing not too long ago. Marinette happily cupped and held Tikki against her cheek as she swayed her upper body back and forth. "Thank you,Tikki! I can't believe it's him... it's actually him. I had a full on conversation with Adrien, and he said he loved me!!!" The teen squealed happily, jumping up and down with full enthusiasm. Her Blue Raven pig tails bounced along with her, seeming having life of their own. "You better get dressed before a certain 'Kitty' comes and 'steals you away'!" Tikki reminded her with an innocent smile, flying towards her desk and handing her the black blazer she had taken out earlier. "Oh my Chat, you're right!! Thanks Tikki!!!" She called back at the little bundle of luck as she ran to the bathroom to organize her appearance.
"I am a cat, just chilling out. But in the night she's all I think about!" The said cat vaulted himself on his staff, landing on the roof of another building, before continuing to run at the direction of his fair maiden's home. He hummed and sang, he laughed and smiled as he got closer and closer to her balcony. He smiled even brighter as a few children from different buildings peaked from their bedroom windows, pointing and yelling at the clad in black. "Hey! Guys, look! It's Chat Noir!" He smirked and gave them his signature two-fingered salut before picking up the pace and disappeared from the children's sight. He closed his eyes, breathing in deep the early March morning air after landing quietly, and surprisingly skillfully, at the rail of his Princess' balcony. He could feel the cool air flowing freely in his messy hair. Chat ran a hand through his hair, combing it with his clawed fingers, trying to look decent for his soon-to-be girlfriend. He smirked at the thought as he took a small, but enchanting red rose from his built in pocket on his leather like suit.
He squatted down in front of the trap door and breathed in, his sexy smirk never leaving his handsome, defined face. He lifted the trapdoor slowly, oh so gently and descended into the room filled with different shades of pink, shades of love. He landed softly, kneeled on his right knee, facing the wooden floor with his neon emerald eyes closed. He straightened up and held the rose, the symbolic piece of his love behind his muscled lower back. "Well, hello my beautiful Pr-"
Chat froze in mid bow, looking dead straight into two, horrified blue bell orbs that stated back into his green glowing ones. There, before the cat themed hero, stood a terrified, dripping Marinette with nothing but a pastel pink towel wrapped around her petite body. Chat cautiously straightened his upper body very slowly, being afraid if he made any sudden movement, it would scare the bluenette even more. He smacked his lips, looking intensely at her, and made a quick glance at her body before looking at the wall at his side, closing his eyes with a slight blush that went unnoticed. "Chat, get out. I'm freaking dripping wet!" Marinette yelled anxiously, tightening her grip on her towel. Chat Noir chuckled, his lips turning into a sly smirk that revealed his cat-like canines before looking up at his dearest Princess.
"I usually have that effect on girls."
