MARINETTE POV:

After Chat had zipped out of the café like his nine lives depended on it, I couldn't help but look back on the recent events of our morning...

~Flashback~

After I had gotten my revenge on Chat, we sat there in awkward silence in the loud café. 

I was taking slow sips of my hot coffee, being careful not to burn myself. I was halfway done with my drink, when I hear him clear his throat.

I looked up from my drink to see him looking down nervously at the round wooden table. I opened my mouth to scold him for interrupting my 'date' with my coffee, when he spoke up.

"Look," He started, pinching his nose bridge, "All you have done for me this morning is be helpful, generous and kind," I felt the heat start to rise in my face as he complimented me, "But all I have been is an annoying, difficult, bitchy asshole! But yet, you put up with me all morning and even bought me breakfast!" 

I was thankful that he was still looking down at the table and not at me as he was saying this, or else he would've seen a very vibrant, may I go as far to say radiant, glow popping up over my cheeks! 

He may be an asshole, but damn! This guy know how to make a proper apology!

"So, I guess what I'm trying to say is...thanks..."

After a few moments of more silence, I shook the heat of my face and looked at Chat, who still happened to be staring at the table.

Before I could contemplate what I was doing, I placed a hand on his shoulder. 

At this, He turned his head to my hand, then his eyes followed up my arm, until our eyes were met. 

I gave him a soft smile, "Hey, Chat. That was very big of you to admit that, and it is much appreciated!" 

As I said this, his eyes softened. I had never noticed before, but I feel like I have seen those electric green orbs somewhere... WAIT! Back to what I was saying!

"Now I know that you aren't a heartless asshole!" 

A slight smile formed on his face, "Thanks, that means a lot to me, Mari-" 

"But!" I cut him off, "That just means you have leveled up to basic asshole! Keep up the hard work and you can be promoted to the title of tolerable!"

He looked shocked at my statement at first, but this quickly melted into a big fit of laughter. I giggled and saw him hand me one of his croissants.

I looked at the croissant and back at him in confused. 

He started to chuckle, "Hey, I didn't poison it! It's a regular ass pastry!"

I smiled at him. Oh well! I'm not one to turn down free food! Especially free pastries!

I took it from him and ripped a piece off and started chewing. Not half bad! 

I looked up from the croissant and gave him an appreciative stare, which caused me to blush ever so slightly. He followed suit and blushed as well.

'What the fuck! Why am I blushing over this Cat Boy? He only gave me food...and complimented me...and apologized for being an ass...be still my beating heart!' My small daydream was interrupted by an all to familiar beeping.

Chat looked down at his ring, and looked back at me with a sheepish grin on his face. 

"Go on, Kitty! Do your thing. I know my way back home!" I reassured him.

He gave me a worried glance, but I put him at ease with a death glare that told him to get his ass to a private place. He chuckled a bit and ran out the door, leaving me all alone...

Pfft! Like I care anyways...

~Flashback ended~

"Marinette!" Tikki chirped.

I look down in my purse and see her little face, "That was a nice morning you had with Chat Noir!" 

I gave her a soft smile as she munched on her cookie that was twice as big as her little body.

"Yeah, He surprised me with his behavior! Out of the three years I've known that cat, I didn't think he had any other modes than: flirtatious show-off, eight year-old boy, or asshole!"

She giggled at my statement, "Well, It's almost 8:00! I bet your Parents must be getting worried with your whereabouts!"

Color drained from my face, "Goddammit! I'm in so much fucking trouble!"

ADRIEN POV:

Thankfully, when I reached my window, there were no angry assistants of grumpy gorillas waiting for me in my room to ground me for life! Relief never tasted so good!

I jumped through the window, landing a badass pose, "Claws in."

I felt my skin-tight suit turn back to my comfy lounge wear. I ran back to my bed and flopped onto it. I put the covers over me and started to close my eyes, everything was so quiet and peace-

"ADRIEN!"

I knew it was all to good to be true...

"Where's my cheese? I'm starving being in that goddamn ring for seven hours!" My tired eyes shot open and I glared over to my kwami, "Ugh! Fine!"

After I grabbed Plagg his cheese, I got myself situated back in my bed once more and my eyes started to flutter shut. 

I was almost asleep when I hear, "So, how was the morning with your girlfriend?"

My eyes shot open again and I started to blush, hard! I sat up to see him indulging his cheese, paying no mind to the flustered teenager burning holes in the back of his tiny head.

"S-she's not m-my girlfriend!" I exclaimed, "We're fucking e-enemies for god's s-sake!"

After he had finished his cheese, he turned his attention towards me, "Kid, I don't know what love is or what it feels like, but what happened with pigtails this morning was not enemy-like in any way."

If it wasn't possible, that statement made me flush up even more. 

I tried to shake it off as best as I could and flopped back down on my bed, covering my face under my pillow, "God, Plagg! You're so annoyingly difficult! Just let me get some fucking sleep!"

Even though I couldn't see him, I could feel the satisfaction radiating off of him. I finally closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep.

When I woke up, I saw the time, 12:00. Wow, I really was tired.

"I assume you slept well?"

I almost jumped out of my skin! I look in the direction of the voice and let out a sigh of relief, "Grace! You scared the living shit out of me!"

Grace is my new guardian/assistant. She replaced Nathalie after she was found out to be working with Shadowmoth as Mayura, and got arrested with my father. She's pretty much the same as Nathalie, all work, no play. But she's better than my dad, so I'll take it!

"Adrien," She started, "Yes?" I looked at her, wondering what she wanted.

"Do you mind telling me where you have been this morning?"
