Chapter 1 - Minor Revelations

Usually, Marinette has no problem creating new designs. She was born to do it, and has a lot of fun with it, however tonight was not one of those nights. “Urrgh.” Marinette dropped her head to her desk in frustration. “Tikki, what is wrong with my brain? I can’t seem to concentrate on anything right now.” Her voice was muffled by the flat surface below. Out of the corner of her eye, she sees Tikki lightly consuming her cookie. “I don’t know Marinette. Maybe some cool air will help to clear your head? It shouldn’t be too cold outside right now.” Marinette lifted her head off of her desk, one of the half-created drawings stuck to her head momentarily before fluttering back down. Staring out the window she spoke. “That may be a good idea. I can’t seem to think of anything to create for the next Agrest Fashion designing contest.” Lightly pushing her desk, Marinette rolls a foot or so before standing up to climb up the ladder and out of the opening above her bed. Once the cool Parisian night air washed over her, Marinette sighs softly. “I will never get tired of being out here.” Marinette’s peace only lasted a moment before being interrupted.A slight thump sounded loudly in the quiet of the night, as a dark obscured figure lands behind her on her balcony, causing Marinette to flail as she turned around with fist flying. "Woah, Woah there puuuurrrrr -incess. I’m not looking for a fight." Chat Noir stood sheepishly with his hands up. "I was just passing by when I noticed you coming out. I thought it would be nice to stop by for a Chat.” Marinette rolled her eyes at his puns and turned her back to Chat Noir, in favor of looking over her railing once again. “It still doesn’t explain why you are out here Chat, there have not been any recent updates on the Ladyblog about an Akuma.” She did not actually know if there was a post or not, but assumed she would’ve known if there was any sort of Akuma nearby. It had been a bit of a quiet few days however, and more trouble was bound to appear sooner or later. Chat Noirs arms slid slowly next to her on the railing, Grinning as he did. “That doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy being suited up. There is something free about being able to jump across the rooftops” Chat rested his head on his arm, staring softly across Paris. “It is much more enjoyable with My Lady present however.” Marinette glanced at Chat. “Oh, was she busy tonight?” Her voice raising an octave higher as she tried to hide the fact that she knew the answer already. “I would have assumed you two spent more time in suit together than just during an Akuma attack”She new that was not usually the case, since she only ever transformed during an Akuma attack or during patrol. “My Lady tends to only transform when it is absolutely necessary unfortunately. I wish it was more often however. I am missing her dearly.”Marinette looked surprised at Chat for a awkward moment as she realized that he voiced his feelings for her. “Oooh, of course Chat. I can see clearly that you care for her.” Marinette’s voice trailed on the last word. “Is Lady Bug the only girl that you flirt with then?” She froze after the words spilled out her mouth. She had not meant to be blunt, let alone bring up a bit of a tense subject. Marinette started to sputter a little. “I-I-I did-id-idn’t mean it like that! I just wanted to kn- I mean I was curious about your feelings- Never mind just forget it!” Chat looked at the flustered Marinette hiding her face in her hands. “No worries my Purrr -incess. Ladybug is wonderful, and I wouldn’t dream of flirting with anyone else the same way. She holds my heart in her hands.”Smiling softly, he pushed himself away from the balcony edge getting ready to launch off. “I am sorry Marinette, I did not mean to get that emotional.”Marinette waved her hands around erratically. “Oh no-no-no- Chat! Do not worry. Please feel free to say whatever you want! I do not mind at all.” Her eyes trailed off a little bit awkwardly.Chat grinned at Marinette “Thank you Mari, I am happy you said that.” Chat smiled a huge grin. “However, I will take that as a free pass to visit whenever I want to now!” Marinette smacked Chat’s arm lightly. “In your dreams Chat.”Oh, of course Purrr-incess ! I will take what I can get! Sweet dreams, and thank you for your company tonight."Chat disappeared in the blink of an eye, before Marinette could see what way he went. ‘Oh boy.’ Marinette thought to herself as she stepped down into her room again. ‘I didn’t realize he liked me that much. Now I feel so blind.”Collapsing on her bed, Marinette shifted around until she was comfortable. ‘He really does like me. He isn't just some flirt.'Her mind could not focus on anything other than Chat’s Face, and the soft love filled eyes he had while talking about Ladybug. She could feel her eyes getting heavy, and threw her pants off with a faint smack as it hit the floor below. Tikki just watched from across the room with a knowing smile, as her chosen drifted off to sleep. Once she was sure she was asleep, Tikki turned off the light before making her way to Marinette. “Good Night Marinette.” She whispered lightly before settling in next to her head. “Good Night.”
