Day 2 - Cocoa

Marinette tapped her feet impatiently, occasionally shifting her weight on both feet.

"Okay, there you go, hunny." Sabine handed Marinette a tray and before she could voice out a proper thanks, she was already zipping up the stairs into her room.

She placed the tray on her desk and checked the time, it was already a few minutes after 7. "He'll be here any moment now. Oh he's gonna love it." She clapped happily and Tikki smiled as she hovered over the bluenette.

"I'm sure he will." The kwami encouraged and Marinette bopped her head happily, "C'mon let's go wait for him at the balcony."

She climbed up her loft and through the trapdoor then out to the balcony. It was a chilly evening and the snow fall was not so serious. She say crossed-legged on the floor and began to wait.

The previous night, Catnoir had to go since it was getting late. He promised he'd try his best to come the next evening. She knew he'd never break a promise so she was waiting. She was sure he'd be there any moment from then. So while she was waiting, she busied her thoughts.

She promised to make this year's Christmas memorable for him and she would do that. She hadn't thought through how but she was sure she would. They could try a new Christmas activity every day. And she was going to make sure he loved it. He deserved it, she smiled to herself as she wait.

She went deeper and deeper in her thoughts, planning each activity that she didn't even notice the leather-clad hero landing softly on the railing of her balcony. He crawled a little then landed quietly on the floor.

When he looked down at her, she was staring into space and smiling. So before getting her attention, he stared for a moment. She was such an amazing friend, to both sides of him, and he was lucky to have someone like her in his life.

"Hey, princess!" He finally spoke but the poor girl's soul nearly left her body at the shock and she screamed. She relaxed after seeing it was only Catnoir, she placed her hand to her chest and stood up with a frown, "God! Catnoir you scared the living daylights out of me!"

"Sorry.." He smiled sheepishly and reached to help her straighten up. She took his hand and her frown relaxed. She smiled back at him. They took a while looking at the other before stepping forward to wrap their hands around the other. Since he was taller, she melted into his embrace, nuzzling his chest.

"I missed this." He murmured into her hair pulling her closer and her smile only widened, "Me too." She whispered muffled.

There was a dragging silence except for the distant noises in the now dark city. After an extra second, they both pulled away. "That even felt better than yesterday." Catnoir gushed as soon as they pulled apart. His hands remained at her side even when she dropped hers.

She put her hand to the side of his face, "You're better today."

"Yup...I couldn't stop thinking about meeting you tonight. I'm sorry I made you wait, I couldn't leave the house." He spoke softly but she only nodded in negation, "It's okay. I didn't wait that long."

There was a small pause before she finally moved out of his hold putting the much needed distance between them. "I have something for you."

His eyes lit up, "Really?" And she nodded, matching his smile. "C'mon let's go in." She held his hand to pull him with her.

"You mean in your room?"

She frowned, confused, "Yes."

"You don't mind me coming in." He asked skeptical and her frown disappeared and she smiled, "Well I let all my friends in." She rolled her eyes and he couldn't help but smile back. "Of course."
