Miraculous Ladybug One-Shots

Life As Adults- Part 1

"... Chat?" Chat Noir, who was perched on the railing about to leave, turned to Marinette, who was on her balcony.

"Yes, Princess?" He smirked.

"... Do I know you from somewhere?" Chat jolted a bit at the question, but kept his cool.

"You'll just have to find out, Princess."

A few months later, after a hard day of fighting off an akuma, Chat Noir carried Ladybug to one place he knew she would be safe: Marinette's home. But as he stepped in, carrying Ladybug like a bride, he saw Marinette was not there in bed. He laid Ladybug down into the bed just as her earrings beeped for the last time and her transformation wore off to reveal... Marinette. Chat would say he was surprised, but as he looked at her, he realized that he had somewhat known all along. The hair, the eyes, her rosy cheeks. He brushed her bangs away from her face.

"Sweet dreams, Princess," he whispered. He turned to leave and as he was headed away from the bed, he felt a slight tug on his left hand. He looked back to see a blushing Marinette who wasn't looking at him directly. Chat gave her a sweet smile, only to be yanked down onto the bed and right next to her. His blonde hair was now lying on one of her pink pillows and her blush was growing a little more. She was finally looking him the eyes, but looked away as if ashamed. His smile faded for a little before he started to laugh. Marinette looked up at him with confusion. She didn't realize it until he pulled his arm away and uncovered his eyes that he had detransformed. Then, with a cat smirk, he stared directly into her eyes.

"Did you really not know it was me, Princess?" Marinette's face because a deep shade of red as she stared into Adrien Agreste's eyes.

As the months and years went by, Adrien and Marinette grew closer and closer, not only becoming best friends but falling even deeper in love. Alya and Nino, of course, saw it happen quickly. So it didn't surprise them to find the two lovebirds in the library, sharing their first kiss. No, ALYA DON'T TAKE A PI- *flash!* Now you've done it. RUN!

Anniversaries went by and so did school. Finally, Adrien and Marinette had officially called themselves a couple. (God damn it took a long time!) And one night, as the stars above their little apartment twinkled above, Adrien slipped his free hand into his pocket to check. Yep, it was still there. The night was their 9th anniversary of their first official date. (The two still fought crime (it was hard not to), but akumas came very rarely and no crime really ran rampant in Paris because of them) So, Adrien knew it was time.

"Hey, bugaboo? Could you pause the movie? I wanna ask you something..." Marinette grabbed the remote and pressed a button, pausing just as the main characters were about to kiss. They both say up and face each other, smiling.

"What's up?" Adrien's smile faded and he got up.

"Marinette, we've been going on strong for... Nine years now." Marinette nodded, but an alarm went off in her head. Was he saying that he wanted to breakup? He turned to face her. "Mari, I love you with all my heart and... I want to be with you forever." He got down onto one knee and pulled out a small black box, lined with gold. Marinette felt her heart beginning to beat furiously, knowing two circumstances could happen. She sat closer to him and he opened the box to reveal...

Okay, you know those diamond rings girl describe? Like, "I want a diamond ring the size of a ring pop" things? Well, Marinette wasn't like that. Actually, when she was asked by Alya what kind of ring she would want when she got married, she responded with one answer.

"I don't really mind whether it's diamond or whatever. All I ask is that the person asking is the one that I know I will say yes to."

Well, obviously, Adrien thought of only one kind of ring for his Ladybug. A gold ring with a princess cut ruby in the middle, with the words "Ladybug" engraved inside the band. And, as he presented it, he asked only one thing.
