MariChat (Marinette and Chat Noir): Dancing Present

Hello again guys! I got 99.5% on my Chinese test, whew! Here's another chapter of fluffy fluff fluff! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Adrien's PoV:

Cold air sliced through my hair as I leapt from roof to roof. It was a chilly winter night, but that didn't deter me. In fact, it made it all the more fun. I smiled; I never would have dreamt I was going to be Chat Noir a few months ago. Funny how fate does some things.

It was my turn to patrol tonight. It would have been all the more furn if ladybug could have joined me.

I froze, my senses on high alert. Was that.....music? I swept a critical eye over my surrounding. Crap, I was daydreaming about ladybug so much that I found meowself in the darker part of town, where we never really go since it's abandoned. Ladybug and I decided it was no use going here, so we stopped after a while.

Slipping into the shadows, I crept closer, identifying the music as pop music. With a very catchy tune. I found my foot tapping uncatsciously until I forced it to stop. Unsuccessfully.

I found my way at the source. It was nestled in between to other very similar decrepit looking houses. If there wasn't any music, I would have walked right past it.

Cautiously opening the door, thankfully without a creek, I stepped over the threshold, into the building.

I stood there, jaw touching the floor, like an idiot. The scenery was astounding. It was nothing like what it looked like from outside.

It was freshly renovated, the wet purraint smell circling around the room.

Polished wooden floorboards, homey yellow walls, a blaring speaker and a whole line of mirrors on one side of the room left no doubt, it was a dance studio.

Mentally slapping my head, I quickly moved to the corner of the room.

Thick black curtains were drawn across all windows, blocking the light from shining outside.

But I had no time to marvel over the ingenious of it, as my attention was focused solely on the figure in the middle of the room.

Two signature blue pigtails were whirling around as she snapped her head back to look at the mirror as she whirled around one more time.

Ladybug? No, it was Marinette. Wait what?

Huh, who knew the normally shy, or at least around me, girl could transform into a majestic hip-hop dancer?

She was wearing a polka-dotted crop top, black, baggy pants and red high-tops. Makes sense I thought she was ladybug. The dots threw meow off.

'Castle' by Halsey was playing, and while it usually should be contemporary, she managed to twist it into an awesome hip-hop dance.

No, she made it a combination of both.

I watched, entranced, as she deftly slid onto the floor, brought her legs above her head and did the splits before doing a back-roll. Using that momentum, she went into an elbow-spin.

Standing back up, she did a series of popping and locking, so focused on her dance she didn't even notice me, a stark contrast of black on yellow in the back corner.

All too soon, the music stopped, with her frozen in a finishing pawse, cheeks flushed, breathing heavy.

That, was when she noticed me.

She scrambled up, eyes narrowed. "How long were you there Chat Noir?"

"Long enough," I replied mysteriously. For some reason, I wanted to rile her up.

Maybe because I've never seen her annoyed, she was always too shy around me as Adrien.

She must have sensed my intent, and so she smirked. She was smart, I'll give her that.

Composing herself, she wracked her brain, I could almost see the gears turning in her head.

Marinette's PoV:

Of all people who came across my secret, it just had to be Chat Noir. Tch.

Inwardly groaning I said, "How did you find this place?"

I had carefully planned it, waiting until Chat Noir didn't come here anymore, before making my move.

He scratched the back of his neck, looking vaguely uncomfortable. The action seemed familiar, but I couldn't quite place it.

"Well, I....um...." he mumbled something that was too low for me to hear.

I cupped a hand near my ear. "What did you say?"

Huffing in annoyance, he spat, "I was thinking about Ladybug so I accidently came here and heard the music, happy?"

I smirked; payback. He tried to make me annoyed, but it backfired. However, he didn't need to know my intentions.

Totally not queasy that he was thinking about my other identity, noooooo.

"How often do you come here?" he asked.

"Well, I usually come here only once a week, but lately I came here daily."

"Why-"

"Because there's a person I know who has a birthday coming up, and I was thinking about giving him a present."

"Oh."

He seemed to know something I didn't. But he obviously wasn't going to tell me so I didn't bother pestering him.

"Are you going to like show him a dance or something?"

I snorted. That would be so stupid.

"No, you'll have to see." I threw back the mysterious answer. Karma's a female dog, and I happen to be very fluent at karma.

I was going to step on this board that consists of many squares. They light up when you press down on a square. So, I if I dance, as a result, the squares will light up in different sequences.

I am going to make a sequence of flashing lights for Chat Noir's birthday. Chat Noir actually is a pretty good friend of mine, even as Marinette, so I know when his birthday is. Alya's going to film with one of her high-quality cameras.

I made her think I was going to give Adrien a present for the fun of it. But, I'm actually going to give it to my long-time partner, Chat. I don't even know Adrien's birthday for goodness sake!

"Fine, don't tell me. But it's not healthy to be up so late so many nights in a row," he huffed.

My eyes widened. I had lost track of time again.

"What's the time?" I tentatively asked.

"Midnight on the dot," came the dreaded reply that solidified my fears.

"Oh, shoot. I better get going!" I screamed.

I rushed to pack up my things and go. As I was leaving, Chat Noir called out something that made me freeze in my tracks.

"I'm going to watch you make up the dance then!" he called.

I stayed there, much longer than after he left. He couldn't watch! Otherwise his present would be ruined! But then, an idea came to mind. I smirked to myself.

He didn't know about the other studios....
