Under Heaven (Miraculous Ladybug)

Chapter 6: The Unbearable Realization that He Loves Her

*warning for those who are uncomfortable with sexual tension <3*

   Chat Noir was grinning like an idiot as he walked beside Marinette. She left the house alone but once she got on the streets of Paris, Chat Noir came and joined her. While he didn't have a ticket, he figured that they would probably just let him in anyway. They walked side by side in the coolness of the night. She bit her red lip and looked at him out of the corner of her eye and found that he too was doing the exact same thing. She giggled slightly and he couldn't help but smile at how adorable she was. When they reached the school Marinette walking and stared at it. Chat Noir looked at her and reached for her hand.

"Don't be scared princess, you look stunning." He said.

She looked at him and smiled and he led up the steps and into the school. Once they reached the spot where they take the tickets the two students manning the station were speechless. The girl who sat at the table was the first to speak.

"W-welcome. May I p-please have your tickets?" She asked while tucking a lock of her curly hair behind her ear.

Marinette handed her ticket to the girl.

"I'm sorry but I don't have a ticket." Said Chat Noir.

"T-that's alright!" Said the boy sitting beside the girl.

Marinette and Chat Noir thanked them and strode into the dance hand in hand. When they entered they got a few stairs and Marinette saw  a couple people whisper to their friends. Chat smiled at Marinette and they strode further into the dance.

"Marinette!" Called Alya.

Alya had her camera and tucked some of the hair that she'd left out of her bun behind her ear. She quickly snapped a photo before Marinette could say anything. Nino came up behind Alya and was grinning.

"You Marinette need to tell me how this happened!" She said. Then she turned to Chat Noir.

"And you better not disappear anytime soon cause I want an interview!" She said while she pointed her finger with crème coloured nails at him.

He gave a sheepish grin and scratched the back of his neck and Marinette was blushing a little. Chat Noir put a hand on Marinettes shoulder and gave her a reassuring grin. She smiled back and Alya squealed with delight. As much as Alya would love for Marinette to be here with Adrien, she couldn't deny that Marinette and Chat Noir would make a cute couple. As the lights changed to a soft pink and a slow song started to play, Chat Noir decided to grab Marinettes hand and drag her away from her friends. He led her to the dance floor and put his hands on her waist. She hesitated a little before her hands on his shoulder. Together they moved in time with the music. Marinette was looking down at her feet, trying not to step on his and when she looked up she found that Chat Noir had his emerald eyes fixed on her. She blushed slightly and so did her as they moved across the floor, not breaking eye contact. They ignored the feeling of unwanted states from the other teens and continued to stay focused on themselves. And they can both say with confidence that they were upset when the song ended.

They went back to where Alya and Nino were having a elaborate conversation with one another. When Alya saw her best friend again she threw on arm around her shoulders.

"You'll be happy that I've got photos of you two!" She said with a huge smile.

Marinette sighed at her friends enthusiasm about Marinettes situation for the night. As her and Alya chatted she saw Chat Noir and Nino also deep in conversation. She couldn't help but smile at this, Chat Noir was always so kind, and he was very kind to her with or without the mask on.

"Hey Marinette! Come down from la la land for a moment! I need some advice." Alya said.

Marinette focused her attention on her friend.

"I want to try to kiss Nino tonight! But I'm not sure if he wants to and I don't want to bring it up cause it might be awkward!" Exclaimed Alya.

Marinette fought the urge to giggle. She never thought she'd be able to see Alya so worked up over a boy.

"Don't ask then. Get him in the right mood and when the timing right, lean in and grab his hands! Make him want you!" Said Marinette.

Alya smiled and nodded. It wasn't the best advice but she knew that Marinette always tried her hardest to help out her friend and that's what mattered the most about her piece of advice. Alya excused herself as she went to drag Nino away from Chat Noir.

As Chat Noir joined Marinette again he couldn't help but smile. Nino had talked a lot about Alya when the talked and he also let it slip that Marinette had a crush on Adrien. It wasn't intentional, they were talking about how when Nino first started liking Alya and how he started reminding himself of Marinette and how crazy she was about Adrien. Nino didn't notice that he let it slip but Chat did. He wondered if it was wrong that tonight he wanted Marinette to fall for Chat Noir, but then again nothing could be better than Marinette loving both sides of him. He smiled down at the beautiful blue eyed girl in front of him. The night was growing late and Chat was worried about his Miraculous running out of power.

"We should go." He whispered to her

She smiled and nodded and he grabbed her hand and led her out of the school. They walked to Marinettes house and he agreed to meet her on her terrace once she got inside. She walked quietly to her room in order to avoid her parents and went straight to the trap door that led to the terrace. She opened it and let Chat inside. They sat side by side on her pink chaise. They laughed as they talked about the dumb looks people had given them all night, he held her hand the whole time. He didn't ever want to leave this moment with her. She looked at him and met his gaze. He leaned in slightly and she shifted closer to him. Their foreheads touched and she could feel his hot breaths on her skin. He used his other hand to cup the side of her face and he closed the distance between them. She melted into him and used her other hand to wrap it around his head and run her fingers through his blond hair. He bit her lip and she giggled at him. She pulled away and looked at him.

"Oh Chat Noir, tell me, who is it behind this mask that I'm kissing?" She asked with a seductive smirk.

"You wouldn't believe me if I told you." He grinned.

He leaned forward and buried his face in her neck. She gasped slightly as he but the skin on the side of her neck.

"What are you doing kitty?" She asked.

He laughed against her skin and kissed her again. She smiled against his lips but started frowning once his miraculous beeped. She pouted at him and he laughed. She looked so beautiful even now with her lipstick rubbed off and a viciously red bite mark on her neck.

"I have to go princess." He said.

"Fine. Thank you Chat Noir." She said as he stood.

He grinned down at her.

"It was  my pleasure dear princess." He said with a wink before disappearing out the window.

She collapsed back on the chaise and sighed. Tikki flew out from where she was hiding.

"Oh Marinette, what have you done?" She asked with a small smile.

"Tikki, I fear I've done something wonderful."

Once Adrien was back at his house and no longer transformed, he fell back on his bed and sighed.

"Why did you do that?" Asked Plagg.

"Cause I fear that my lady isn't the only one whom I love. "

Plagg shook his head. And Adrien squeezed his eyes shut. He couldn't get her out of his head. The way her hips moved accordingly whenever he ran his up her arms. The way she grinned at him when they were walking to and from the dance. The way her eyes looked that night. So wild and filled with desire and passion. Adrien knew for certain that he was positively in love with Marinette Dupain-Cheng. And he also knew that she may love both halves of him.
