"What about Adrien?" Tikki asked through a mouthful of cookie. "That's the thing! I don't really know if I still like him." Marinette clapped her hand over her mouth as she realized she was yelling and her parents were downstairs.
"Marinette, are you talking to someone up there?" Sabine's voice was muffled by the trapdoor. "Uh...Yeah mom! I'm just talking to Alya on the phone!" She called back. "Ok sweetie." She heard her mom's voice followed by her descending footsteps.
Marinette spun her chair back around to face Tikki, who was hiding behind her computer. "Tikki, it's ok she's gone." She sighed as she looked up at her computer background. 'Adrien…' She thought for a moment. "Tikki?" The little, red kwami was now sitting on top of the computer. She gazed at her. "Do you think Adrien even likes me?" Tikki could see the dismal in her eyes. "Of course he does. He's your friend right?" Marinette sighed "I don't know.." She mumbled and returned to her homework.
..
"Ugh Adrien! Just give the girl some sweet, sweet camembert." Plagg said through a mouthful of cheese. Adrien laughed. "You know I'll lose the bet if I do that. He was scrolling through the lady blog while trying to think of the perfect gift. "Camembert…" Plagg whispered into his ear. Adrien was caught by surprise and almost whacked him in the face. "Plagg!" He exclaimed. "This present has to be the best!" Adrien got up and threw himself onto his bed. "Hearing you talk about your precious present for Ladybug is making my brain hurt!" Plagg muttered. He flew over to Adrien and sat on his head, which was buried into the mattress. "Lets face it. I'm gonna lose! Then Ladybug will never love me because I'll never be able to win her over with my awesome cat puns, and then I'll be single and lonely forever!" Adrien whined into the mattress. "Hey, hey take it easy kid.." Plagg patted his head with his tiny paw. "Just think about all the things Ladybug loves."
Adrien jumped up. "Your right Plagg! I'll just buy her everything she loves!" He practically squealed with excitement. "Woah thats not what I meant!" Plagg said as he floated back. "It's perfect! She'll love me forever!" Adrien smiled. "I can literally see stars in your eyes." Plagg groaned and lay back down on the bed.
..
The next day at school, Marinette and Alya were sitting on the steps outside of the school. "Wow girl! I can't believe you're actually early!" Alya exclaimed as she scrolled through her phone. "Yeah for once." Marinette muttered. Her chin was resting on her hand, which was resting on her knee. She watched Alya scroll through her phone and yawned. "I'm still tired tho." She mumbled.
Marinette looked up and saw Adrien and Nino walking towards them. "Hey dudes!" Nino said with a wave. "Hi Marinette, Alya." Adrien gave a warm smile. "Hey guys." Alya waved back. "How are you two so happy when it's so early?" Marinette groaned as her eyelids drooped. Nino pointed to Adrien. "It's him. He's so happy for some reason and he won't tell me why." Adrien chuckled. "I already told you Nino! I'm just excited for Valentine's day!"
"That's' a terrible answer!" Nino protested.
"Is not!"
"Is too!"
"Will you four year olds please be quiet?!" Alya snapped. "I'm trying to update the ladyblog!"
"He started it.." Adrien mumbled pointing to Nino. "Excuuuuse me?" Nino raised an eyebrow.
"Ugh that's it!" Alya screeched. "I'm going inside where there's better wifi and no toddlers!" She stood up and stomped away.
Marinette was leaning on her backpack with her eyes closed. "Marinette?" Adrien tapped her shoulder and looked at Nino. "Dude, is she asleep?" His eyes widened and they both started laughing.
Marinette's eyes shot open. She looked at them and then noticed Alya was gone. "W-where's Alya?" She said as she got up. "She went inside to go update the ladyblog." Nino explained. "Yeah...why did you fall asleep?" Adrien added. Marinette's blue bell eyes widened. She remembered not being able to fall asleep last night because she was talking to Tikki about her gift for Cat Noir.
"Maybe you should just kiss him." Tikki snickered as Marinette's face turned a light shade of pink. "I am not doing that." She crossed her arms on her chest. "Or maybe you should confess your love to him!" Tikki laughed. "Then he will probably faint and you'll win the bet!" Marinette's blush grew darker as Tikki burst out laughing. "I'm just teasing Marinette." She said as she patted her shoulder. "Try to think of something that is meaningful and sweet." She suggested.
"Marineeette. Can you hear me?" Nino shook her shoulders lightly. "Huh? What?" Her mind returned to the present. She looked up to and saw Nino and Adrien staring at her with concern. "Sorry I spaced out." She said, blushing. "Ok well class starts in five minutes so we should probably go." Adrien started walking up the stairs. "Y-yeah ok." She followed them both into the school.
..
"Alya! You just left me there, alone, with Adrien and Nino!" Marinette cried. Her and Alya were walking to the Dupain-Cheng bakery for lunch. Marinette glared at Alya as she gave her a sheepish smile. "Sorry! But they were bothering me and I was trying to update my blog!"
"You left me with Nino and ADRIEN!" Marinette repeated. Alya smirked. "You probably loved it." She laughed when Marinette nearly tripped as they turned a corner. She steadied her balance and glared at Alya once again. She was about to open her mouth to protest when Alya screamed "Mari, look! It's CAT NOIR!" the girl grabbed her phone and screamed his name. Marinette gasped when she saw the boy in black leather jumping across rooftops towards them.
"Omg Cat Noir!" Alya squealed with excitement as he approached them. "You girls need to get out of here!" He panted. "Why? What's wrong?" Marinette asked in a worried tone. 'Was someone akumatized?' She thought as she glanced down at her purse. "There's another akuma! You need to get to safety!" He motioned for them to run. "Thanks Cat!" Marinette said as she grabbed Alya's wrist and ran off. She looked back and saw him jumping into the other direction.
"Marinette! Let go! I NEED to get this for my blog!" Alya broke free of Marinette's grasp and ran off in the direction Cat Noir had gone. "ALYA!" Marinette screamed after her. "No time to catch her! You need to transform now." Tikki popped her head out of Marinette's bag. "You're right." Marinette huffed and ran into an alley where she could transform. "Tikki, spots on!"
..
Ladybug zoomed over Paris, looking for Cat Noir and the akuma. However, she didn't see anything. She called Cat Noir but there was no answer. Ladybug landed on the roof of a random house when she finally got a call. "Cat Noir! Where are you? Where's the akuma?" She saw his face was slightly bruised through her tiny screen on her yo-yo. "Are you okay?" "Yeah I'm fine." He replied. "But this is a pretty sneaky akuma. She calls herself The Shadow and she can hide in the shadow of anything! You better be careful because if she gets into your shadow she'll be able to control you." Ladybug's eyes widened. "Where is she?" She asked. There was a little fear in her voice. "I don't know. I was fighting her when she jumped into the shadow of a tall building. Then I lost her." His voice was a little shaky. "Ok, lets meet up at the statue." Cat Noir nodded and then grinned. "Can't wait to see you my lady." Ladybug rolled her eyes , then threw her yo-yo and was soon soaring over Paris.
..
When Cat Noir reached the statue of the two heros, Ladybug was already there, waiting for him. "Well hello my lady." He had a cheeky grin in his face as he moved towards the spotted heroine. "There you are." She sighed in relief. She then noticed how close his face was to hers and a light blush tinted her cheeks. "It's always a purrleasure to see you." He purred. She gazed at him and was a about to push him away when a dark figure rose from the shadow of the statue.
"Cat look out!" Ladybug hissed as the figure headed straight towards them. The girl stopped and stood before them. She had long, straight, red hair that reached her waist. There was also a single, glittery hair clip that stood out from the rest of her. A black dress covered most of her body except her feet and was slightly tattered at the ends. Her eyes were a deep shade of violet and they peered down at them. "Give me your miraculous!" The demanded.
"Never!" Ladybug called back.
Cat Noir leaped in her direction and she moved towards his shadow. "Cat! Your shadow!" Ladybug cried. She raced towards him and pushed him out of the way before The Shadow could reach his shadow. The two tumbled to the ground. Ladybug looked up and found herself laying on top if Cat. She immediately stood up and felt the slight blush creep upon her face. "Uh..Sorry about that." She rubbed the back of her head and extended her hand out to him. Cat Noir took her hand as he got up. "No need to apologize." He smiled sweetly.
"How disgusting!" The Shadow gagged at the two. She stuck her tongue out and make more gagging noises. "You two always shine in the light…" She glared. "...But not for much longer!"
She zoomed straight toward Ladybug, who jumped out of the way and landed on the roof of a building. "Lucky Charm!" She shouted as she threw her magical yo-yo into the air. A few seconds later, two flashlights fell into her hands; a black one and a red one. "Cat Noir!" She called his name and tossed the black one to him. She held onto the red one and turned to face The Shadow.
"You think a couple of flashlights are going to save the day?" She cackled. She headed for Ladybug's shadow when it suddenly vanished! She gasped and looked up to see Ladybug grinning while aiming her flashlight on her own shadow.
The Shadow's eyes flashed with anger and she bolted to the nearest building shadow, but Cat Noir used his flashlight to follow her like a spotlight. "Now you can't hide from us." He chuckled.
Ladybug used her yo-yo to trap the akumatized victim. The unbreakable string wrapped around her body and pinned her arms to her sides. She squirmed and tried to break free as Ladybug approached her. She grabbed the shiny hair clip and broke it in half.
"No more evil doing for you little akuma." She said as she released the girl from her yo-yo. "Time to de-evilize!" She yelled out as she caught the akuma. "Bye, bye little butterfly." Ladybug released the butterfly and waved as it flew away. "Miraculous Ladybug!" She cried and threw the flashlights into the air. All the damage was restored and everything went back to normal.
"Pound it!" Cat Noir and Ladybug said simultaneously.
Beep. Beep.
Ladybug's earrings gave her the warning that she only had three minutes left before she would detransform. "Gotta go kitty." She sighed. "My lady, wait!" He said just as she was about to throw her yo-yo. "Can you meet me at the park later tonight? I kinda wanna talk to you." He blushed slightly. "Sure. We can talk later because right now I gotta go." She turned away. "Bug out!" She called as she gave her two-finger salute and disappeared into the sky.
..
Back at school, Marinette rushed to Alya. "Are you okay?" She gasped as she reached her best friend. "Yeah...Why wouldn't I be?" Alya raised an eyebrow. "Well you just ran after Cat Noir when we saw him earlier!"
Alya's eyes drooped and she looked a little irritated. "Yeah but I couldn't find him after that." She muttered. "I can never seem to get an interview with that cat." She stomped her foot in frustration. She looked at Marinette who just shrugged her shoulders. "Whatever.." Alya said in an annoyed tone. "...Who cares anyways? Cat Noir isn't nearly as amazing as Ladybug anyways!" She said the last part a little too loud.
Both girls suddenly heard choking noises and turned their heads. They saw Adrien coughing with his hand on his chest while his other was holding a can of orange juice. Nino was patting him on the back.
"What happened?" Marinette asked as the two approached the pair of boys. Alya was giggling at Adrien's suffering and Marinette had swatted her shoulder.
Adrien stood up and gazed at the three of them for a few seconds. His face was slightly red from coughing. "Oh. I just overheard Alya say that Cat Noir wasn't nearly as amazing as Ladybug while I was drinking some juice." He explained as he rubbed the back of his head and smiled sheepishly. "And I agree!" He added.
Marinette blushed and tried to hide her face, hoping no one would notice.
"Girl, what's wrong?" Alya asked, noticing the girl's actions.
"O-oh um…" Marinette stuttered as she began to straighten her posture. "Well I disagree." She said firmly. "Cat Noir is just as amazing as Ladybug. He might even be better!"
She caught a glimpse of Adrien. 'Is he blushing?' She thought, noticing the very slight tint of pink on his cheeks. She decided she was imagining it and watched him take another gulp of his drink.
"Marinette, how can you say that?" Alya gasped. "How can Cat Noir be better than Ladybug? It's not like you've ever actually met the guy! None of us have!"
Adrien coughed and began choking again.
..
Later that evening, Marinette had just finished eating dinner with her parents and was upstairs with Tikki. She had this weird feeling in her stomach that she couldn't shake off. She felt like throwing up but didn't feel sick. Marinette lay down on her bed, Tikki at her side. "I'm exhausted." She mumbled into her pillow. Tikki patted her head and giggled. "Me too, but didn't you say you would meet up with Cat Noir at the park?" Marinette rolled over. Her eyes were wide and she shook her head. "I totally forgot!" She exclaimed and stood up. "Do you need another cookie before I transform?" She looked at her tiny kwami. "No thank you. I'm fine."
"Ok." Marinette stood up on her bed and looked out the window above. "Tikki, spots on!"
..
Cat Noir arrived at the park and noticed his lady had not arrived yet. 'Well we never did settle on a time.' He thought to himself as he picked a bright yellow flower from the earth. He sat on the nearest bench and waited a couple minutes before he saw a red figure in the distance.
"Ladybug!" He squealed with excitement as she approached. "Fancy meeting you here my lady." Cat Noir bowed at her presence and handed her the yellow flower. Her weird stomach feeling had disappeared as soon as he spoke in his beautiful, sexy voice. 'Wait what?!' She ignored her thoughts. "Is this really your Valentine's gift kitten? A weed?" Cat Noir stood up straight and looked at the flower he had just handed her. 'Oh crap…' He thought. 'I forgot dandelions were weeds' His face glowed red with embarrassment. Ladybug giggled. "It's okay kitty." She patted him on the head. "I'm just teasing."
Cat grabbed her hand from his head and kissed it lightly. "And that is not my Valentine's present for you." He smirked. "The present you're going to get will be infinity times better."
Ladybug could tell he was bubbling with excitement and decided to mess with him. An evil smirk grew on her face and she moved closer towards him. "I don't know…" She sang and took a glance at his confused expression before continuing. "My gift is going to be something you've wanted for a while now." She trailed her finger up his chest. Cat's eyes were shimmering and his face began to grow red as she placed her hand under his chin. She leaned closer to him until their faces were just inches apart. "I-I….uh…..I m-mean.." He sputtered at her touch. 'Her lips are SO CLOSE to mine!' Cat screamed in his mind. He could hear Plagg's snickering in the back of his head but chose to ignore him. He focused all his attention to Ladybug. She giggled again. "Aww, what's the matter kitty? Cat got your tongue?" He was shocked. 'D-did she j-just-' His thought were cut off when Ladybug began to move her face again. She moved closer and closer. Cat Noir was beginning to lose his balance. She got so close..and then suddenly jerked her head back. Cat Noir took a few moments to process what just happened. "W-what?" His face grew even more red.
Ladybug just burst into laughter. "Y-you should've seen your face!" She cried and fell to the ground, clutching her sides. She laughed for a good 10 minutes while Cat Noir calmed down.
"That wasn't very funny my lady. -_-" He grumbled as she wiped the tears away from her eyes.
"Sorry. I Just couldn't help myself." She finally managed to get out when she tamed her giggles. "You looked so excited about this bet. "You almost sounded positive that you were going to win."
"That's because I am going to win." He declared and crossed his arms over his chest. He saw her still trying to contain her laughter as she got off the ground. 'Ugh why does she have to be so adorable?' He thought to himself.
The two of them sat on the bench and stared up at the moon and shining stars.
"Soo...What did you wanna talk about?" Ladybug asked. Cat Noir turned to face her. She was fiddling with her hair and was still staring at the beautiful night sky above. Her big, crystal-blue eyes turned to meet his electric green ones. Cat cleared his throat. "I need you to list everything, and I mean absolutely everything, that you love."
She eyed him suspiciously. "Why? Are you just gonna buy me everything I tell you I love?" She asked in a teasing tone. Cat's jaw fell open. His eyes were shocked. 'How did she guess?'
Ladybug grinned. "Well in that case…" She stood up and stroked her chin. "Lets see...um...Ok. I really love guys who don't constantly make stupid cat puns, Oh! I also love guys who don't flirt with me in the middle of akuma battles…"
Cat just glared in her direction. "Is there anything you actually like about me?" He shouted as he stood up.
"Of course!"
"Yeah?...Like what?" He rose and eyebrow and moved closer to her figure.
"Why do you want to know?" She said, taking a step back.
"Pleeeaase tell me." He pleaded. Cat didn't realize he was making kitty eyes until Ladybug pointed them out.
'Oh no' She thought "Kitty eyes.." She breathed only loud enough for him to barely hear. "No, no, no! They're so adorable." She turned away from him.
Cat moved even closer to her. A smirk was growing wildly on his face. "Well, well...I never knew my lady had a weakness for kitty eyes.." He purred into her ear.
"She doesn't!" Ladybug snapped back. "It's getting pretty late..I should probably go." She swiftly sped off into the other direction but Cat Noir caught up to her just in time.
"Please stay." He said in a cute voice while attempting to make the biggest kitty eyes everrrr.
"NO" She squinted her eyes shut and broke free from his grip. "I'll see you tomorrow for patrol!" She called quickly and tossed her yo-yo as far as possible. Then she zoomed away before he could try anything else.
'I'll have to use my kitty eyes in the future' Cat chuckled at the thought.
