A/N: Ey~ This one is quite angsty. No character deaths though; I'll be sure to add a warning from now on if there are any so you can skip it.

"What part of me do you like?
If you tell me, I'll do anything for you
If I'm told 'I love all of you, every single part',
I'll just be filled with hate"

"You're back..."

Unstartled by the familiar voice, Marinette let out a quiet sigh as she acknowledged her surroundings and the familiar back that she was leaning against, sat on the rooftop of some tall building. The sharp breeze mercilessly clawed through her hair, causing her to wince whilst the sound of the high tided ocean rippled down below, radiating with deadliness.

She was back in...that place...

...Again.

Stark white but gentle fingers combed the tendrils out of her vision, allowing her to see the body that was once behind her now in front, his digits grazing the apples of her cheeks.

She peered into sorrowful, empty blues.

"Chat, we meet again." Her voice quivered as he tucked her hair behind her ear, grazing the arch of her brow with his knuckles and then his thumb pulling on her bottom lip when she bit the soft flesh with her teeth. Every bit of his touch was so searing and devoting; her heart simply wept.

He hummed in response, never averting his gaze from her. His raw, intense feelings and emotions radiating from his frame for once. A direct contrast of his unreadable, dangerous aura from when they first met.

"All this time that we have been meeting up...here...it's not just a dream, is it?" Marinette mustered up all her courage and kneeled closer to her partner, grazing his jaw with the tips of her fingers and trying not to flinch at how cold he felt.

Usually, such a gentle caress would have had the boy melting at her touch. The white cat on the other hand did not waver nor even blink, the biting wind violently ransacking their hair and whistling loudly in their ears as the ocean roared below.

.

"What makes you think that?" He finally asked.

"It's just a feeling."

"...Then yes, you're half right. This isn't an ordinary dream." His answer caused her heart to stutter and clench, her brows furrowing with even more questions, fighting within her mind to be asked first.

"Then, what are you, Chat Noir?"

"..."

"Chat Noir?"

.

"C'est Chat Blanc, ma Princesse," This time, he softened, tenderly bringing her hands to his lips and kissing the hardworking knuckles with a sweetness that would rival his counterpart clad in black. "I'm not sure what I am exactly, but I do know that I exist solely through your dreams."

"...Then...Then when I'm not dreaming? What happens to you?"

The sad smile he wore only became even more bittersweet, Marinette's heart simultaneously shattering at the years of loneliness and grief that coursed through his veins.

"I think that's when I 'sleep'. But, I live through your heart, your feelings and your emotions,"

"I don't understand..." Marinette however was met with a quiet laugh, Chat Blanc's hands cupping her cheeks tenderly and bringing his forehead against hers. His eyes were tightly closed as fresh tears poured down, mouth stuck in between a pained grimace and forlorn smile.

"Maybe...just maybe, you love me so much that you can't bear to ever let me go, Marinette,"

A/N: Fun fact, did you know that Astruc just confirmed that Chat Blanc was left all alone, akumatised, for years?
