Adrien took a warm shower and got ready to head over to Marinette's. Patrol hadn't taken long and it was now about seven thirty.

He sat on his bed playing with his fingers. To say he was nervous was an understatement. What did she say to her parents? Do they know about him being in her room? At night?

He was beyond scared. He had met her mom, but only once and as Adrien. They were new to the city so how would they react to their teenage daughter being with a masked person? Yes, he was a hero, but who he was, was unknown. They weren't aware of his age, which would probably cause some worrying.

Plagg groaned from the other side of the room. "You need to relax, it's not like you two have been doing anything you shouldn't have. Maybe it's a little wrong that you do go into her room almost every night..." That earned a fierce glare from Adrien.

"Which would imply you two did that thing humans do that creates other humans... hm, what's it called, oh! Sex! It implies you two had sex."

"Plagg!" Adrien felt his face heat up. "Don't say that!" Marinette was too pure and too innocent for that. He tried his best to not think of such things. Which wasn't too hard, they often did things that distracted him from such thoughts, but that didn't mean the odd thought wouldn't pop up.

"Plagg?"

"Yes?"

"Go to hell."

Chat stood in front of the door of the Dupain-Cheng residency. In his pocket he had a small box with a gift he really hoped Marinette would like. He took a deep breath and knocked on the door. A few moments later, Sabine opened the door.

She looked up at him with slight surprise and a warm smile. "Oh! Marinette mentioned she would have someone over but not who! What a surprise! Come in!" She stepped back and allowed him in. As she closed the door, Marinette walked over.

She wore a sweater like the one she usually wore, only red, paired with a black skirt and leggings. The colors suited her very well. The outside weather was freezing but the bakery was nice and warm. Upon seeing him, Marinette ran over and threw herself onto him, giving him a big hug and startling him a little, a small blush on his cheeks.

She stepped back and looked up at him with a smile, a small tint of pink on her cheeks

She stepped back and looked up at him with a smile, a small tint of pink on her cheeks. 'You came!'

He smiled, "Of course I came, princess." Sabine placed a hand over her heart, "Oh it's so wonderful to see Marinette be so happy with someone! Let's head on upstairs."

Marinette's face turned red but her smiled never faded. They all headed upstairs to the warmth of the kitchen and the cheerful laugh of Tom seeing Chat walk in.

Tom looked at his daughter and with great excitement said, "Trois mois à Paris and you befriended one of the heros! You amaze me, Marinette."

Chat stood by the entrance of the small apartment, frozen and scared to walk in. Tom, amused by Chat's reaction, decided it would be hilarious to tease the couple.

"So, son, how did you and my lovely daughter meet?"

Chat and Marinette exchanged wide-eyed glances, not sure what to say. Saying he visited her in her room one night probably wouldn't be a good idea. No dad would react nicely to a guy being in his daughter's room without him knowing.

Seeing their scared and worried looks, Sabine and Tom burst out laughing. "Oh we're just teasing!"

Chat laughed awkwardly and Marinette cringed slightly. After the two were done laughing, they told the two they could head on upstairs while dinner was finished. Chat and Marinette insisted on helping but Sabine and Tom denied the offer.

Marinette suspiciously went upstairs with Chat. She had a feeling there was a reason they were insisting they should go upstairs to her room. Once in her room, she looked around suspiciously, Chat standing behind her with an amused look. After not finding anything, she sighed in relief and sat down on her small couch.

Chat sat next to her and she leaned on him. They stayed like that for a few moments before Marinette jolted up, excitement in her eyes. Chat was startled as she immediately got up and went over to her desk (not without tripping of course).

She picked something up from her desk and walked back over to the couch, sitting down next to him and facing him. She held out a small scrapbook of pinks, browns, and whites. Chat stared at it in surprise before taking it.

Marinette looked at him with a warm smile on her face. As he opened the book and started flipping through it, he realized that it was filled with photos and notes. All the pictures Alya had taken of the were placed neatly on the right side and on the left side there were small notes.

Small doodles filled the empty gaps between the letters and photos, demonstrating her love and passion for design. And her love for him.

Every letter had sweet words written. The writing ranged from the way she felt the day they first met, to her favorite memories of him, and to finally, words of encouragement.

All the pages had small writing somewhere reminding him he meant so much to Marinette and he was so much better than what he thought.

Tears formed at the corner of his eyes and he looked back up to see Marinette. "This... this is amazing." He wiped a few tears away and chuckled slightly, "Did you do this yourself?"

Marinette nodded. He put the scrapbook down and wrapped his arms around her, pulling her into a big hug. Marinette blushed slightly and hugged back. "Oh! I have something for you too," Chat said pulling away.

He took the small box from his pocket and gave it to Marinette. It was wrapped in pastel pink paper with a golden bow. The packaging was too pretty for Marinette to tear apart. She undid the ribbon and unwrapped the paper. She opened the box to her a sparkling silver ring in the shape of a crown. Marinette's eyes widened and her hand went to cover her mouth.

"It's a princess ring, because you're my princess. Do you like it?" Marinette looked up at him with a huge smiled and threw herself on him, giving him a big hug. "I'll take that as a yes," he laughed.

Marinette huffed and leaned in, giving him a small kiss. Chat smiled.

"I think I love you."
