Miraculous Ladybug One-Shots

Not Sure How That Happened... (MariChat)

Quick A/N:
Hey babes (and pal.)
So, I asked you what stories you'd like to read next and so far... Only three people have even commented. Now, I was gonna go with what two of them commented for (Fairy Tail crossover), but then I realized I didn't really remember anything about Fairy Tail! I stopped watching it because of...
Stuff. So, I went with the MariChat idea. Please, comment again what kind of stories you'd like and I'll try to write them.
-------------------------------------

As the sun set in Paris, painting the skies purple, orange, red, and yellow, Ladybug landed onto her balcony just as she transformed back into Marinette Dupang-Cheng, her regular self. Tikki, her kwami, flew onto the pillow on Marinette's bed that was made just for her and fell asleep. Mari, however, went to her desk and started to draw a new design for something. It seemed like 5 minutes had passed when she noticed Chat Noir.

"Huh? Chat? What are you doing here?" She yawned. The deigns were sprawled out, making the desk space and her notebook seem very small.

"Well, purrrincess, I happened to be on patrol and noticed that your light was on. I wanted to make sure that you weren't burning midnight oil."

She giggled softly. "Well, Chat, I was trying to make a new skirt... or maybe it was a shirt... It was something, that I know. But, I wasn't able to find the right design." She gestured with her left arm to all the crumpled papers on her desk. Chat picked one up as Marinette kept designing and looked at it.

"I like this one." He held it up to her.

"Can't do it. I'm making for... uh, a friend. And they need it soon." She crumpled it up and threw it in the overflowing trash can.

"Well, what about a hat?" She shook her head.

"Uh, this friend doesn't need to cover their head..." She put the pad and pencil down, then stood and looked Chat in the eyes. He blushed, unsure about how close she was.

"Chat, what's the little symbol on your ring?" She was looking right at it, and he nodded like he was lovesick.

"Yes."

"What?"

"W-What?" He snapped out of his trace.

"I asked about the symbol on your ring. I've never seen that before." She lifted his hand with the ring on up to her face for close examination.

"U-uh, yeah. It's a little paw print." She put his hand down and gestured for him to follow her back for the desk. She grabbed her notepad, pencil, and tapped the desk.

"Put your hand here." He followed and soon she had the design down.

"Alright. I think I know what I'll make!"

"Great! What is it?" She stopped drawing when he asked.

"Uh... You'll see. Shouldn't you be heading off?"

"Oh!" He saw a clock and started out the window. "I'll be back, purrr-incess!" As he left, Marinette rolled her eyes.

Chat returned a week later as Marinette was doing her homework.

"Hello, purrrr-incess. How's the special gift for your friend?" She jumped at his voice.

"Chat, you startled me! And, the gift was finished a while ago, but the friend... Uh, didn't like it...?" She tried to make an excuse.

"What?! How?! Show me what you've made!" He struck a heroic pose.

"Huh?"

"Show me! Model it, and I can tell you if I would approve or not." Marinette was hesitant, but got the 'gift' and headed into her bathroom. Chat sat down on her lounge couch and waited.

Soon, she exited in a beautiful black American '50s dress that made it look like she was floating as she walked. There was a little black cat with neon green eyes and a green outline to identify it.

"You look... amazing." Marinette looked away from Chat gaze with a blush.

"I-I was wearing it to model for a friend the day I was giving it to them... but, they didn't even notice..." She wasn't blushing anymore, but mournfully staring at the ground. Chat had started to get closer to her, and enveloped her in a hug.

"Mari, I swear to you that whoever you made that for... They're unlucky for not noticing you."

She chuckled lightly into his suit. "As unlucky as a chat noir?"

He chuckled. "Worse." They stopped hugging and now were staring each other in the eyes.

Marinette could feel the heat rushing to her cheeks as Chat Noir stared into her eyes. She looked away, turning her back to him.

"Chat... I actually didn't make this for a friend..." He gave a look of confusion. What was she talking about?

"I made this... to impress a boy at my school."

"Oh... And he..." Marinette sniffled, meaning that boy she made it for didn't notice.

"He wouldn't even look my way. And I thought, because he seemed to be a fan of Ladybug and you..." Her voice cracked as she spoke, giving more clues about her attitude. Chat wasn't about to see his friend get upset, and he did one thing he thought he would save for Ladybug one day.

He grabbed her arm and pulled her close. He held her head to look him in the eyes, hers filled with tears and confusion.

"Chat, what are you-" He pulled her head close to his and kissed her lips lightly.

The problem was, they felt the spark. Actually, was it a little spark? No way. It wasn't a spark. It was a fire. But not one of lust. It was more of...

Love.

When they pulled back, they both were panting a bit.

"Ch-Chat... I didn't..." Marinette's voice was shaky and she didn't dare look Chat in the eyes.

"Oh... I-I didn't... I'm so sorry..." He backed away and ran out the balcony, as Marinette ran after him. As he hopped away from rooftop to rooftop, she faintly touched her lips.

"... I didn't mind it." She whispered.
-----
Adrien returned home with a red face. It wasn't from the extreme parkour, but the kiss before it. He knew his feelings for Marinette had... grown, but never to this!

Then his mind wandered to Marinette herself, seeing her sad about the boy.... and how her blue eyes twinkled.... and how his heart felt like it was being stabbed when he saw the tears fall down her cheeks... and how soft her lips were...

He fell back onto his bed, sighing. Plagg flew out of Adrien's shirt pocket, and went to his desk. As he started to eat the Camembert, he only said one thing: "Your whole conversation went from 'You look pretty' to kissing. Not sure how that happened..."

That took long enough! Well, comment story ideas you wanna see. And tell me if you want a Christmas story. I'll try to write one BEFORE the holiday. Either that, or make a New Years or different holiday you think they would celebrate!

Love ya babes (and one pal)!
