The Love Swap

Chapter 10 - Confession Session

Chat Noir had just touched down in his room when his baton went of. Out of breath, he looked down in surprise, to find that Ladybug was texting him. Really? I was just there, what could she need? And then it hit him.

"The purrresent" He exclaimed, laughing at his own short term memory. "She must have opened it... and she knows." He smiled to himself, feeling warm all over just from thinking about her. She finally knew how he felt, and she had confessed too... Marinette and him... Ladybug and Chat Noir. 

It was quite literally a dream come true. He shook his head. Focus! He thought, I need to see what she wants!

He quickly picked up the baton to inspect the message she had sent, only to purr in happiness. All her message read was 'Meet me here, you forgot something ;)' Quickly sliding the baton back from phone mode he prepared to jump out the window again. I get to see her again! He thought happily as he launched himself up into the air.

Chat Noir touched down on the rooftops across from the Dupain Bakery. The wind was stronger than before, but he didn't let it push him around. He could see Marinette on her balcony, looking out into the sky. Looking for me.

He regarded her in all her beauty for a moment, before making the large leap to land on the ledge of her balcony. He made sure to land far enough away from her to not completely startle her. She only smiled once she met his eyes. They both blushed at each other before Chat Noir decided to say something. 

"Terribly sorry  to interrupt you, purrrincess," He purred, "But my Ladybug told me to meet her here! She said I forgot something, would you happen to have seen her by chance?" She looked down at her feet and then met his eyes once again.

 "You forgot me," She said shyly. Her hand went to the sparkling pendant on her neck and his eyes followed. He quickly jumped down off of the ledge to stand next to her. 

"Oh? Is that so?" He smiled, and went in for a hug. They wrapped their arms around each other and he could feel his heart beating at the speed of light. "I love you, Marinette," He said happily. She looked up a Chat Noir with the softest look he had ever seen.

"I love you too Chat Noir," She said, louder than before. He grinned as an idea popped into his head.

"Try again," He said in a flirty tone, "Plagg, Claws Out!" He detransformed in her embrace, causing a gasp to emit from Marinette. The secrets are finally over! He thought happily, and hugged her tighter. He could hear Plagg audibly gag from behind him, but Adrien didn't care.

"I love you too, Adrien," She repeated, with a giggle. He tilted his head down to look her directly in the eyes. 

"You're incredibly funny, M'lady," he whispered to her.

"I just hate all this gooey, icky, romantic stuff!" Plagg exclaimed from across the room. Adrien just laughed in response, and watched as Tikki bonked Plagg on the head for his outburst. 

"Plagg, shut up..." Tikki scolded. Adrien caught the 'or else' part that Tikki didn't leave to the imagination. If he had thought Plagg was strongly willed to begin with, he didn't even want to know what Tikki looked like pissed off.

He and Marinette had been cuddled up on her couch for the past hour, watching a movie of some sort. Well, Marinette was watching the movie and Adrien was, well, watching Marinette. She'd look up at him every so often just to meet his eyes.

"Adrien," She said with her cute little laugh, "you're not even watching the movie!" He did nothing in response besides pulling her body closer to his and squeezing her with affection. She squeaked a little every time he did that, and he couldn't get enough of it. I can't get enough of her.

He watched as she rolled her eyes and turned to plant a kiss on his cheek. The blushing had been nonstop between the two of them the entire time, and each kiss on the cheek became progressively closer to the other's lips. Her entire face is so kissable, he thought to himself and a shiver ran down his body as he thought of the idea of kissing her lips. It would be so perfect. 

"Plagg, we should go get some bread from downstairs," Tikki suddenly said, looking away from the two, as if reading Adrien's thoughts. "That's okay, right Marinette?" Tikki asked. Marinette jumped a little from hearing her name, but nodded at her kwami.

"Of course Tikki," She said with a smile. Tikki winked at the two of them before grabbing Plagg's hand and pulling him behind her down the stairs. 

"Sugarcubeeee!" Plagg called, his voice slowly getting softer as they disappeared from the room. Marinette and Adrien laughed together before he slowly released her from his grasp, and turned her body to face his his. 

"Those two are too funny," She giggled at him, and he laughed along with her for a moment, before bringing his hand up to her face and cupping the side of her head with it. Her eyes went wide, and surprise quickly became written on her face.

"Yeah, they are, but do you want to know what else is funny?" He flirted with her, his voice going softer. She raised her eyebrows at him in response, and he continued. "It seems like every time you kiss me, your lips are closer to mine..." He purposefully trailed off and let their gaze connect for a moment, the tension in the air rising.

"Oh, is that so?" She asked, a smirk forming on her face. He nodded and turned his attention to her lips.

"May I?" He barely whispered. It was her turn to nod and so he leaned in to close the gap between them.

To say the kiss was anything short of magical, would be a lie. 

Once Adrien pulled away, they only shared a few words.

"I love you Marinette," He breathed. 

"I love you too Adrien."
