Miraculous Ladybug One-Shots

Movie Night with the Cat - Maricat

A/N: Hey guys, here's another one-shot for you! Another Maricat, I know, but I just think this ship is sooo cute post-reveal. Oh yeah, this story takes place post-reveal, just so you know.

"If you steal the blankets, I'm going to put my cold feet on you," Marinette Dupain-Cheng declared. Cat Noir laughed.

"I would never do that to you, Purrincess," he said, pretending offense. Marinette smacked his chest lightly.

"You've done it several times before," she admonished him. He pouted, but there was a mischievous glint in his eyes. Marinette sighed, but was glad he was back to being himself.

Cat Noir had knocked on her trap door several minutes ago, when she was almost asleep. She'd opened it, ready to scold him because she'd almost been asleep, but when she had seen his face, any desire to scold him had evaporated.

"Oh, Kitty, what happened?" she had asked. He had jumped down onto her bed, immediately reaching his arms around her and burying his head into her shoulder. With difficulty, she had shut her trapdoor. Then, she had hugged him back.

"My father," was all he had said. Marinette had tightened her hug.

"What did he do this time?" she had asked, stroking his fluffy hair.

"He canceled dinner with me. Again," Cat Noir had mumbled. His frame had begun to shake slightly. "I don't think he loves me. He schedules time to spend with me, but most of the time, he cancels it."

"Oh, Kitty, I am so, so sorry," Marinette had said. Personally, she didn't think that a parent should have to schedule time to spend with their child. It wasn't right. Parents should make time to spend with their kids, not schedule it in advance.

"Do you think...that maybe...there's something...wrong with me?" Cat Noir had asked. "Maybe I'm a horrible person and he doesn't want to spend any time with me."

"Adrien Agreste," Marinette had said, pulling away and touching a hand to his wet cheek, "there is nothing wrong with you. You are an amazing person. I don't understand why your father can't see that. Besides, I love you. I'll always spend time with you." Cat Noir had leaned into her hand like a cat deprived of affection, closing his eyes.

"You aren't bothered by my night visits?" he had asked.

"No," she had answered sincerely. "How about we watch a movie?" Cat Noir had perked up a little at that.

"Can I pick it?" he had asked.

"Sure," she had replied. Which had then led to Cat Noir picking out Disney's Aristocats.

Which led to the conversation at present. Marinette had just finished situating the blankets over them. She leaned forwards and pressed play on the movie.

"Wait, you're not going to get in trouble for this, are you?" Cat Noir asked apprehensively.

"No," Marinette said, snuggling up to him and leaning her head on his shoulder. "It's the weekend, so I'm allowed to stay up later." Cat Noir's arm came around her.

"Good. I'd hate to get you in trouble," he said.

"You get me in trouble every day," Marinette murmured. Cat Noir chuckled.

"Why's that?" he asked. Marinette's face reddened as she realized that she'd spoken aloud.

"N-No r-reason," she stammered, sitting up and leaning away from him. Or at least, she tried to. It wasn't really possible when he had his arm around her and they were on her small chaise.

"I think there is," Cat Noir said, turning his head to stare at her. Marinette's face reddened further at the closeness of his face. Her eyes darted down to his lips.

Cat Noir chuckled and touched a hand under her chin.

"Will you tell me for a kiss?" he asked. Marinette turned redder still. Oh, this Cat. Ever since she'd learned who he really was and had accepted that she loved the silly, Cat Noir part of him as much as the soft, Adrien side of him, her leather-clad partner affected her way too much. Not that she didn't like it. It was nice. But still, how was a girl supposed to think straight when she was around a guy like him?

"Y-Yes," she squeaked out. Cat Noir chuckled.

"Then tell me," he said. Marinette was shocked. He was going to make her tell him before he kissed her?

"I get in t-trouble because y-you always do something that makes me f-fall deeper in l-l-love with you everyday," she finally stammered out. She had barely finished the sentence when Cat Noir brought his lips to hers. His kiss made her feel like she was floating in the sky, and she didn't think she'd ever come back down.

When Cat Noir ended the kiss, he said, "I fall deeper in love with you every day too, Marinette." Marinette smiled dreamily. She was so incredibly lucky to have her Kitty. He removed one of his arms and turned back to watch the movie. Marinette also turned back to watch the movie.

About halfway through the movie, Marinette became sleepy once again. She rested her head on Cat Noir's shoulder and her eyes drifted shut.

The next thing she knew, she could feel her blanket being tucked around her. She struggled to open her eyes, finally opening them. She saw her amazing, handsome partner beside her, tucking her into bed.

"Is the movie over already?" she asked sleepily. Cat Noir finished tucking her in and looked at her face, smiling softly.

"Yes," he said.

"Awweee," she pouted sleepily.

"Not ready for me to leave just yet, Purrincess?" he asked.

"No," Marinette said sleepily. He chuckled quietly.

"I can stay until you fall asleep," Cat Noir offered.

"Yes please," Marinette said. He smiled before laying down behind her and wrapping his arms around her. A quiet purr rumbled from his chest, lulling Marinette to sleep. Right before she fell asleep, she felt him press his lips to her forehead.

"Goodnight, my beautiful Princess," he said softly. Then he was gone. Marinette fell asleep with a smile on her face. She dreamed of her knight in black leather.
