A/N: I remember enjoying this as I typed it. Most of you who know me know how much of a slut I am with the idea of Marinette playing the violin and having a duet with Adrien's piano~ Enjoy!

His fingers suddenly came to a halt, spasming momentarily and then slamming off keys as his body whirled around with unadulterated awe, faux ears pointed up. He could neither believe his eyes nor his ears despite having ultra-heightened senses. Did he doze off without realising earlier on and was now dreaming? Or was he hallucinating?

No, he definitely was hallucinating.

No way in hell would someone as unlucky as him would be blessed with something like this.

Regardless of his inner confusion and doubt, the sound of the soft, luxurious tune his Lady played on the small violin that was abandoned by the side of the piano he was just messing around on caused his lips to gape and his breathing to falter. Noir felt his heart expand to the point where he was utterly winded and almost gasping for air.

The pale moonlight up above the stained, derelict windows shone on Ladybug's frame, making her look like a magical, ethereal being. Her hair was so black that it was blue, glittering under the glow like the most exquisite of diamonds and her movements...oh her beautiful, delicate movements...was as graceful as a ballerina.

Love, love, love.

He was immensely, absolutely, incredibly in love.

Suddenly, her eyes flickered open, revealing mischievous, sparkling sapphires and Chat felt his cheeks flaring with warmth, audibly swallowing as the urge to just sweep her into his arms and kiss her senselessly and ravish her desperately demanded to be a reality. He wanted to brush his lips upon her jaw and hold her from behind, pressing her slim back against his chest whilst she carried on playing for the audience of two.

Whilst she treated his mere self with the sound of her creation-

"Aren't you going to keep playing, Chaton?" Ladybug winked, snapping the boy out of his daze and tapping his nose with the instrument's bow, her smile softening at the cute scrunch his nose made.

"I...erm...yo-you want me to?" The boy couldn't believe it- he was stuttering...STUTTERING. He's Chat fucking Noir! He's smooth, slick and absolutely not spilling out word soup!

"Of course! The way you play is so pretty and nice and I couldn't help but join in hahah! I'm really out of practice with the violin so I'm sorry if I ruined your concentration,"

"No no! You didn't! You're...man, you play amazingly, My Lady. Don't give me that face- you legitimately are very good, I'm not exaggerating." Chat was quick to forget how flustered he was, placing a hand against his chest as he continued. "I, I would be honoured to keep playing with you,"

His formality caught the girl off guard, evident in the way her lips parted and her heart skipped a beat. For a split second, the hero could have sworn that her cheeks bloomed with a rosy hue. She hastily composed herself, plastering another wonderful smile as her partner turned back around to the grand piano.

Dainty, nimble fingers remained poised in its stance as it held the bow to her instrument. Long, clawed fingers relaxed upon the black and white keys as the blonde teen took a breath.

"What song shall we play?"

The rest of the night went by as the mellow, rich sounds of the piano and the eloquent, almost-sombre sounds of the violin trickled through the air, a perfect melody forbidden to the ears of strangers.

A pure harmony composed by the wielders of Creation and Destruction
