A very merry Christmas

~4~

"I can explain!"

Sabine's eyes moved over to Chat.  She walked over to them and kneeled down next to him.

"Is he ok?" She asked removing a strand of hair from his eye.

"I don't know, honestly..." Marinette mumbled.

"What happend?  He's freezing!"

"I found him sitting in the snow, on a roof."

"You did?  Dosen't he have somewhere to be?" Tom walked over to them.

"He told me his father was busy...  With work..."

"You can explain later.  We need to warm him up." Sabine instructed.

~~~~~~~~~~~

"Don't worry, Marinette.  I'm sure he's fine." Tikki smiled.

Marinette nodded as she stroked his hair.  she was sitting on the floor.  She smiled.  His hair was really fluffy and soft.  Like a real cat.  He purred softly.  Marinette tried to hold in a giggle.

"He purrs!" She giggled.

"Like an actual cat."

"How's it going with him?" Sabine asked as she handed Marinette a cup of hot chokolate.

"He looks better at least." Marinette smiled.

Sabine put her hand on his forehead.

"I think he has a little bit of a fever..." She mumbled.

"He's lucky he has you."

Marinette's cheeks flushed light pink.

"Well, i owe him..." She smiled.

"After all those times he saved me..."

Chat startet coughing.

"I think he's waking up!" Tikki squeaked.

His eyes slowly opned and he looked right into her eyes.  Comfusion washed over his face.

"Princess?"

"H-hi."

He sat up and looked around.  This wasn't where he remembered being.  His eyes landed on Tikki sitting on top of her head.  This wasn't a dream, was it?  It couldn't be.  This wasn't a dream.  Oh my god...  How didn't he see it earlier?  It's so obvious now!  A faint blush spread accross his cheeks.

"Merry Christmas, Chaton." She smiled at him.

A smile formed on his lips and he let out small laughs.  She looked at him comfused.

"It's you!" He exclaimed, face full of joy.

"I-i guess..." She laughed.

He had no words.  He had no words for how happy he was right now.  He had no words to describe it.  He had no words.  So he grabbed his into a tight hug instead of saying anything.

"I'm so glad you're not Chloe." He laughed.

"Chat Noir?  Want some hit chokolate?" Sabine came over to them.

"S-sure!" He smiled as his clawed fingers grabbed the cup.

"Thank you, Mrs. Dupain-Cheng."

"You can call me Sabine." She smiled at him.

"Are you cold?" Marinette asked.

"A-a little..."

"Wait here." She said and ran up to her room.

His eyes followed her until he couldn't see her anymore.  Sabine smiled at him.

"Do you like her?" A smirk tugged on her lips.

His face instantly flushed bright red.

"Y-yeah...  A lot..."

"Like, a ton..." he mumbled quietly, staring into his cup.

"I KNEW it!" She laughed.

Chat jumped and looked at her startled.

"E-excuse me?"

"It's so obvious." She laughed.

"The way you worry about her, and blush around her.  And how many times you almost died for her."

"It's not common to see someone this young be in absolute love with someone."

His ears twitched and he looked over at the stairs.  She was coming.

"I'm sorry it took so long!"

Yo!  Hope you enjoyed.

Have a good day or afternoon or night wherever in the world u r!  Stay beautiful!
