Adrien Agreste woke to the sound of Marinette making breakfast, and the annoying beeping of hs alarm clock. He growled at it, and he wasn't even in the cat-suit at the moment. Stumbling out of bed, Adrien went over to Marinette's vanity mirror to get ready for the day. But once he looked in the mirror, getting out of bed seemed to be the least of his problems.
"Whiskers!" Adrien yelped. "When did I grow whiskers?" This was no five o'clock shadow like Papa Dupain sometimes got. No, Adrien had grown whiskers, and he did not like it. "Bugaboo! Can you help me!" "Coming!" came the reply.
Marinette trotted into the room with a messy bun and a pink apron on. "What's wrong?" Adrien took a deep breathing, slowly swiveling in the chair. "I have whiskers." Marinette stared, and begin to giggle and soon she was laughing so hard, she snorted. Adrien crossed his arms. "Love, its not that funny." "Oh, oh. But, Kitty, haven't you always wanted whiskers?" she gently teased. "Not like this." Marinette wiped her eyes. "Okay. Let's go in the bathroom and see what we can do."
Adrien sighed as Marinette readied the razor, shaving cream and hot water. This is not how he wanted to spend his Monday morning, getting a shave. He just wanted to get a coffee and a doughnut and help Papa at the bakery. "Okay, I'm ready," Marinette said. Before she started, she took her husband's fuzzy face in both hands. "I love Adrien, fuzzy whiskers or not," she told him, before giving him a kiss.
Adrien tried to sit still as Marinette worked away on the fuzz, humming the whole time. Her gentle voice though low, relaxed Adrien, and he settled down.
"And that's it," Marinette wiped his face with a towel. "All whiskers removed. Good job not yowling, Kitty." Adrien grinned as he stood up, still in his pajamas. "You'll be yowling soon if I don't get your coffee." "Ladybugs don't get whiskers. And your breakfast will be ready when you get back." "Thanks, Bugaboo. We really make a great team, don't we?" Adrien pulled her into a hug, his favorite part of any day. "We should be Bugaboo and Whiskers from now on? What did you think?" "I think Kitty and Bugaboo suit me just fine."
