“I CAN’T BELIEVE I SAID THAT TO HER!” Adrien yelled. He fan a frustrated hand through his hair. When you tell a girl you’re jealous of her cat because she smelled like him and you don’t like other ‘males’ around her…all you can do when you are alone again in your room is to freak out… Because how are you even going to look her in the eye again?!
Adrien was pacing. He started just after he entered his window and detransformed. Plagg was watching him with an amused expression while chewing on a piece of Camembert. The boy scratched his head with both hands and then pulled handfuls of hair, distressed. The poor blonde wanted to die.
“Well, to be fair, you were the one that told her that.” The black kwami commented, lifting his little shoulders.
“YOU WERE THE ONE THAT WHISPERED IT TO ME.”
“And you were the one that actually said it!” Plagg said losing his patience at the same time. He finished his cheese and look at Adrien with daggers in his cat-like eyes “Listen kid, I told you once that when you’re Chat Noir you feel the cat necessities. She asked what was happening and I answered, you told her what I said. You needed help and I helped you. Now stop being a moron and give me some credit for saving your butt.”
Adrien sighed as he gave Plagg another piece of cheese. He knew that he would never stop complaining about his stupidity that night unless he had his cheese. Adrien couldn’t believe that he actually got JEALOUS of a freaking CAT.
It was all Plagg’s fault.
He could still hear the kwami’s whine in his head as he remembered going into Marinette’s room that day. Chat had ignored Plagg’s whining until it was obvious for him too. Marinette’s room reeked of the other cats scent. The simple memory of the smell in her room made him frown. Well, at least Marinette would still have his mark. And just like that a smirk fluttered on his lips. He wasn’t going to deny that he enjoyed seeing the shock and surprise on her face when he gave her that hickey by pure instinct.
Adrien walked over to his bed and laid down, staring at his ceiling. A blush crept up his neck as he repeated the scene of her quick pulse under his hand and the warmth of her skin. She tasted just as good as she smelled. He groaned, covering his face with both hands. There was no mistake that he was attracted to Marinette, but that ‘Noir’ got in the way. He frowned again, thinking about the cat. It’s eyes glowing just like his and what looked like a smug expression when it was sitting on Marinette’s lap receiving all her attention. Suddenly an idea popped into his head. His smirk grew wider as he ran to his computer and rapidly started to type, causing Plagg to stop his actions and watch at the screen.
“Adrien, what are you doing?” Plagg asked leaning over his cheese to have a better look. Adrien smiled as he found the purr-fect place for Noir. He had a plan to get rid of that annoying cat and then no other cat (or human) could be Marinette’s.
The next day was a difficult day for Marinette. Her hickey waved her good morning from her mirror and she was sure it looked darker now. She sighed because she knew that her usual clothes will not work to hide it and if her parents saw it… Marinette cursed Chat. Luckily she had finished a new blazer two days ago and it seemed like the right time to use it. The piece of cloth was black stitched with thick pink thread in determined places and under it she just wore a sample white shirt since she was running late already. Marinette took a last look in her mirror and whined, she was so paranoid that she took off her pigtails and let her short hair cover her neck a little more.
“Don’t worry, Marinette. It doesn’t show.” Tikki tried to comfort her as she zoomed to Marinette’s purse “But maybe next time you can tell Chat to leave it a little more hidden.” the red kwami giggled as her charger blushed furiously mumbling something incomprehensible under her breathe.
Marinette went down stairs with Noir in her arms. She needed to tell her parents about Noir. The first one to notice was Tom, who looked confused at his daughter, then Sabine covered her mouth with her hands. Half a second later a little stifled squeal was heard as the older woman ran to the teenager and lifted the cat in her arms. Her mother liked it. Marinette thought, letting go of the air she was containing in anticipation.
She explained to her parents that the cat was lost and she found it in front of their door so she brought it up. To her delight Tom and Sabine agreed to keep it, just if Marinette was the one who take care of it, Marinette hugged both of them, letting them know the cat’s name and taking a croissant from the kitchen and her bag from the chair. Noir seemed completely comfortable in Sabine’s arms, rubbing it’s head to her chest so the girl knew it was okay. She smiled and run down the stairs to get to school.
Adrien’s eyes were fixed on the door. Marinette is almost always late to class but he have never been so desperate to see the girl run through the door ten minutes after the class started. Adrien has been fidgeting since he had sit down. Nino asked him a few times what was wrong and if he was okay but the model just smiled reassuringly saying it was nothing.
He just wanted to see the girl that barely say two words to him as Adrien and he had kissed just the night before as Chat. Nothing at all.
This time though when Marinette opened the door and excused herself through a croissant between her beautiful lips Adrien nearly fell from his chair. The sight of the girl in different clothes and her hair down had make his heart race and his brain shut the fuck down. Maybe if he hadn’t been so entrained by the girl that walked past him to get to her chair he’d been able to notice Nathäniel’s sigh from the back of the classroom and Nino’s whistle just next to him. The blonde has swirled completely in his chair to look at her a little longer, but when she noticed him staring and Nino nudged him on his side Adrien went all red and swirled around again, ducking his face in his text book under Alya’s giggles. Oh God, please help him.
The day went on difficult for Adrien as well. Trying not to stare (too much) and ignoring the fact of his hickey calling his name to search for it. Lunch was in the middle of ‘Oh so great’ and ‘Help me’ when Nino suggested the girls to lunch with them. Right now, Adrien’s sandwich is way interesting that it is supposed to be.
“So what do you think, Adrien?”
“Huh?” His eyes locked with Alya’s as she smiled at him… And he didn’t like the way Alya was smiling at him.
“I said, what do you think? Don’t you like Marinette’s look today?” I think she always looks beautiful. He wanted to say. The girl in question was nearly resting her back on the chair from embarrassment.
“Uh yeah, I like her. I- I mean! Her clothes! Y-yeah, I like her clothes!” Marinette was screaming internally, Adrien was wondering if he could disappear from embarrassment, Alya looked so smug it was insane and Nino looked at Adrien like if he was the awkwardest guy on Earth.
Why is this so difficult?
After school Adrien gathered every bit of bravery he possessed without the mask and asked Marinette if he could walk her home. The girl agreed with a squeaked “Y-yes!” and they make friendly conversation as they walked. Marinette told him about the cat and Adrien tried to look surprised commenting that she looked like a cat person to him. He was just enjoying his own words about it as Marinette smiled.
“Y'know, I know this great shelter. Maybe the cat needs to be checked for any diseases? Then it’ll go to a good family.” He smiled innocently but stopped as he sees Marinette looking guilty, her eyes dropping a little. Surely she just picked up the cat without checking around her area to see if anyone loss it.
They say their goodbye’s as she open the bakery’s door and Adrien is just about to leave, when Tom comes from nowhere and stops him by his shoulder. What is her father doing?! Adrien looked at him with a sheepish wave and then down to Sabine who is smiling warmly at him from Tom’s side. Sabine offered Adrien stay for cookies and something to drink and Marinette is nearly dying when she sees Adrien’s smile grew as he accepts and winks at her.
When everything was placed, Adrien came inside. He look at Noir as the cat sauntered his way down stairs with a lifted eyebrow. Noir walked to greet Adrien when he stopped and hissed at him. Marinette was shocked by Noir’s behavior, the only person that the cat has ever hissed at was Chat Noir… and well, her when Chat kissed her. Marinette shook her head vigorously. No, don’t think about such a thing. Adrien as Chat Noir? That’s the biggest joke ever! Don’t compare someone sane like Adrien to flirty Chat Noir!
Once Adrien was done eating the sweet treats, he excused himself to go to the bathroom, walking near the wall away from the cat. He came out moments later, saying goodbye to the Dupin-Chengs. “I need to go, Natalie called.” he said. Tom and Sabine didn’t let him go without a bag of cookies and an offer from the huge man to come back the next day. Adrien munch on a cookie as he promised he would be back and then left. Later that evening, Marinette was laying on her bed while petting Noir’s head. The cat purred on her belly and she laughed. She tickled him under his neck and sighed sadly. What is she going to do if someone looking for him?
Adrien was pacing. Again. After cursing himself multiple times in Marinette’s bathroom he thought that if that stupid cat kept on hissing at him ,everything would be uncomfortable so he decided to leave, thanking Marinette parents’ kind nature for giving him his cookies still when he didn’t stay. What is he going to do now? Tom invited him the next day to taste a new recipe and he couldn’t deny to that offer since he had such a sweet tooth. Maybe if he tried to ‘rationalize’ with Marinette about keeping the cat? No, if he push too much it’ll obvious he don’t like it. Well he always could-
“In my 5,000 years I’ve have never had such a helpless holder.” Plagg mumbled as he keep watching Adrien to moments later snarls at the boy, when he gets no answer he hiss. Adrien’s eyes go wide as he looked at the kwami, completely taken aback “For the love of Camembert, stop pacing, Adrien! You’re going to give me a headache!”
“I didn’t know you could hiss.”
“I’m a cat too, kid, obviously I hiss. I don’t like it though but it looks like that’s only sound you can hear.” Plagg complained as he moved his whiskers in irritation.
Adrien whined and let himself fall on his chair, face on his desk “What I’m I going to do, Plagg?” It isn’t like if he was expecting the greatest advise from Plagg. His kwami never gets interested in something other than cheese, after all.
“Easy, go tomorrow and talk to her. Offer her your help to find the thing’s owner and she’ll be so pleased with you and you’ll have what you want.” Plagg giving advise AND winking at him. Plagg’s winking was scary…way too scary, but actually that could actually work. Adrien scooped Plagg up in his hands and hugged him a little too tight.
“Oh Plagg! You’re the best! Why aren’t you like this more often?”
“Obviously I’m the best, look at me! And stop squeezing me or I’ll bite you!” Adrien returned Plagg to his desk and smiled widely at him, petting his little head with his finger.
Now all he needed was to practice what he was saying to Marinette tomorrow and pray to not screw everything up.
The next day, after school he went to Marinette’s house. Tom said she was busy drawing new designs and she liked to be alone when she was ‘in the zone’. So instead Adrien helped Tom a little in the kitchen and when the cake was done and was Adrien’s turn to taste it. He wanted to cry. Were those heaven’s trumpets or he was just dreaming about the best thing he had ever eaten? The boy devoured two pieces before asking if he could go to Marinette and when he received a nod he took another piece of cake in case Marinette wanted.
Adrien climbed the stairs and when he opened the door into Marinette’s room, he saw something he didn’t needed to see. Noir was sitting on Marinette’s lap and she was giggling because the cat wouldn’t stop jumping on her to nuzzle her in her face, his little paws on her chest. Adrien glared at the cat and walked in, closing the door behind him. Marinette barely noticed.
“Who’s the cutest thing ever? You are!” Marinette giggled. Noir mewed and gave a satisfied smirk to Adrien. Adrien nearly screamed when the cat got up on its hind legs and kissed Marinette. Marinette gasped in surprise but smiled. “You want a kiss?” she cooed at Noir. Adrien bit his tounge to stop himself from swearing. Noir snuggled into Marinette’s lap. Adrien was shaking with anger. It was one thing to hiss at him but it was another to kiss his Princess. That damn cat was mocking him. Adrien couldn’t control himself. Dammit all. He left the piece of cake aside, he didn’t know where, as he walked over at the girl and lifted the cat out of her lap, a very angry mew was heard all around the room when he left it on the floor. Marinette looked at him with obvious indignation in her blue eyes.
“Adrien, what are you-” but then he kissed her so desperately, so passionately that she couldn’t remember what was she saying. His mouth pressed roughly against hers and she thought that she might fall from the chair if he pressed even more. He slowly eased the pressure off of her lips and kissed her gently. Marinette’s eyes fluttered closed and she just melted into him. He tasted like buttercream icing and his hair was so soft beneath her fingers. Marinette took in a sharp breath when Adrien kissed her jawline and when down to her neck. Oh, but when his mouth reached her neck and he bit were Chat’s fading hickey was…
Wait a second.
THE HICKEY!
He just knew where it was? Marinette started to panic. Oh dear Lord, did he actually saw it at school the day before?! This was so embarrassing. If he saw it… Mariette’s heart stopped when Adrien let out a purr as he licked her. Chat Noir. Adrien. Marinette saw the pieces of the puzzle fall into place. Adrien was in fact Chat Noir.
She wanted to scream, she wanted to punch him away, to swear at him but the fact that Chat Noir was Adrien Agreste just stunned her. She tensed when she felt a stinging pain shoot through her neck. Adrien didn’t give her time to react when he kissed her again. Maybe the noise she could barely hear through her buzzing ears was Noir’s irritated mew or her heartbeat, she couldn’t be sure.
When Adrien eventually broke off the kiss, he grinned at her with his biggest cattish smirk. “I told you I would love mark you again Princess.” He whispered looking at his ‘master piece’ and then into her eyes. Marinette wanted to die. He couldn’t just look at her like that!
Marinette was speechless before hearing the angry meows of Noir. She picked him up and he hissed at Adrien who only smirked. “Adrien….you’re Chat Noir…” Marinette mumbled. It was only then when Adrien realized how stupid he had been. Why would he do such an irrational thing? “Marinette… I…” he started before she held up her hand to stop him. “We can talk about that later. The real question is…what are we going to do about Noir?”
