My Stalker

Blanket

Marinette heard a tap on her window. She lifted her foot off the pedal of the sewing machine and got up to open the window.

"Hi, Chat." She gave him a quick peck and made her way back to her seat.

"Hi, Purrincess, what are you working on?"

"You'll see. Just give me a minute to finish the hem."

She pressed her foot down again and, when she was done with the seam, she pressed the button to cut the thread and held it up to admire her work.

"Done!" She beamed at Chat. "Why don't you try it on?" she handed it to him.

"Uh. . . What is it?"

"It's a hooded blanket, silly. And look," she pointed to the hood, "it has cat ears so you can be Chat even when you're a civilian."

His face lit up as he noticed what adorned the hood. "And you're giving this to me?"

"Of course, you're my boyfriend."

"Thank you, Marinette!" He leaned forward and enveloped her in his arms. He smelled intoxicatingly of citrus and peppermint, which she wouldn't have thought of pairing together but smelled amazing.

"Don't thank me yet," she said as she pulled back. "You still have to try it on."

"Oh, right. So it's like a cape?"

"Yes."

Chat swung it around onto his back and pulled the hood on.

"I love it," he said. "But there is one thing that would make it even better."

"And what's that?"

"If you shared it with me." He moved to the chaise and sat before holding his arms out.

She sighed, "Oh, alright, but only for a few minutes, I have to get my homework and that album cover for Jagged Stone done."

"Thank you, Purrincess," Chat said as he wrapped his arms around her waist and planted a kiss on her forehead.

She sighed and relaxed into his chest. It would be good to snuggle with him for a while before getting back to work, she thought.

Thank you to my wonderful beta  hopedespite!
