IMPORTANT NOTE: at the time of writing this, i had not seen past season one of miraculous. additionally, this was written in the first half of 2022, so there's no shot it's 100% canon compliant. thank you for understanding that!!

Itâs just after six when Adrien stumbles his way into the kitchen.Â
âYouâre gonna wake up the whole building,â Plagg grumbles, nestling into Adrienâs messy curls.Â
Adrien catches a cabinet door before it slams shut. âIâm not that loud.âÂ
Plagg just mutters to himself and lets Adrien carry on with his task. Itâs a simple one: make Marinette breakfast.Â
Adrien stifles a yawn as he gathers the ingredients on the countertop, carefully looking them over and checking off the mental list in his head.Â
They donât have any milk, but he can probably make the pancakes without it. âŠRight?
Adrien squares his shoulders. Heâs a superhero. He can make his girlfriend an easy breakfast, no problem. Â
âTheyâre not going to magically turn into breakfast if you keep staring at them,â Plagg drawls. âYou actually have to, you know, mix ingredients. Turn on the stove.âÂ
âI know that.â He doesnât turn on the stove, though. He knows enough about cooking to know that that isnât step one for pancakes.Â
Adrien has gotten better at cooking and baking since university, but anything more complex than pasta is still a little bit of a struggle. He gives himself some slack because he grew up with a live-in chef who didnât even let him make his own cereal for most of his life. Marinette, on the other hand, never lets him live it down.Â
She does help him out most of the time, though.Â
