Andre's ice-cream (Miraculous Ladybug)

Part 9 (Creative titles, I know)

Adrien's POV

I rushed home that day after all my activities, still unsure of all that went down today.

"Ladybug flirted with me. She said cat puns." I said dazedly.

"Yeah, but so what? Get over it already Lover Boy and give me some Camembert," Plagg intterupted, flying up into my face.

I sigh and hand it over, "Here you go."

Plagg gulped it down in one bite and rubbed his stomach, humming with pleasure.

"Hope that was satisfying Plagg, because we're going to see Princess," I said, taking my stance against the rebuttal I knew I would get.

"Nooo, I don't wanna transform-"

"Plagg, claws out!"

I quickly transformed and started leaping over the darkly lit rooftops of Paris towards Marinette's  bakery.

The whole time I wondered. What happened between us today with the whole Nino and Alya thing? We're we getting closer? But what happened to her stuttering crush on me? I'm so confused by this girl. 

And why was Ladybug suddenly flirting with me? Not that I minded, I am super ecstatic that she did, but that was a quick turn around. 

My thoughts slowed down once I reached Marinette's balcony, I could smell the cookies already. I wonder what we were going to do this lovely evening.

I took a quick deep breath in before I knocked on her hatch.

Marinette POV

WHAT DID I JUST DO TODAY? 

I've been pacing around my room for ages after doing my homework. Tikki keeps trying to calm me down, but I simply can't!

I flirted with Chat Noir as Ladybug and then went on to tag team ship DjWifi with Adrien without  stuttering like crazy! I couldn't believe myself!

"Calm down, Marinette! Everything will turn out okay, you'll see!" Tikki flew in front of me, waving my pacing to stop, "Take a deep breath, you'll feel better!"

I did as Tikki said. Breathe in, breathe out. 

"Wow, Tikki! That helped a lot, thank you," I patted her head affectionately before pointing out some cookies. She grabbed them and ate them as if she hadn't eaten in a while, though I had just fed her earlier that afternoon.

I chuckled before settling at my desk, unsure of what to do. But before I could decide, I heard a faint tapping at my hatch door.

Chat came! "Hide Tikki," I said before climbing up to let him in.

"Hey there, tomcat."

"Hey yourself, purrincess," I sigh and let him in.

We both stand in the middle of my room for a moment, feeling awkward until I say, "Is your shoulder better?"

"Huh? Oh, yeah. It's better now. Thanks," He said shortly, seeming a little nervous or something.

"Anyway, would you like to watch a movie? I've got a couple and some snacks. We could even build a fort?" I offer shyly, unsure of what he liked to do.

He stared at me happily for a moment before exclaiming, "That would be amazing, Marinette! Let's do it!"

I giggle as we turn into a fury of action. We build the fort in front of my computer, using the chaise as a back with plenty of pillows on the floor for comfort. Blankets completely make the roof, as well as a few inside for warmth that I quickly grabbed from downstairs. 

Chat Noir quickly chose a movie out of the five that I had originally picked out this afternoon. He picked The Greatest Showman, one of my all time favorites.

"Good choice!" I smiled up at him. I plug it in real quick and run downstairs once again to grab a few croissants, cookies, and other things. I grab a thing of cheese too because I vaguely remember Chat Noir complain about how his Kwami liked a smelly cheese.

I run back up to find him in the fort in a weird, flirty position, "Did you bring the sweets, sweetheart?"

I blush a little before I stammer, "Y-yeah. of course, you silly cat," 

Then I noticed something, "Woudn't you like to wear something more comfortable than that suit? I've got a mask and an outfit I made recently that might fit you."

Chat Noir looked surprised for a moment, "S-sure, that sounds great princess. Thank you."

I grabbed him the mask and clothes, and he headed off to the bathroom to change back into civilian form. Tikki peeped out from her hiding place to give me an approving smile.

I crawl into the fort, waiting for Chat to come back before I press play.

"Boo," I suddenly hear Chat say as he crawls into the fort.

"Boo yourself," I say back, poking him.

"Hey!" He protests, and pokes me back, "Weren't we gonna watch that movie?"

I grab the plate of snacks and say, "Yes, and now eat up."

"Gladly," he says, digging into a pastry.

We finish them quickly so we can sing along with all the songs. Chat has a pretty good voice might I add, especially when there's a duet.

By the end of it, we're both exhausted from laughing and singing. I never wanted it to end. 

Somehow, he ends up dozing off, the crazy cat. I didn't have the heart to wake him up. So I reach over and start gently playing with his surprisingly soft hair. 

Unconsciously, he snuggles closer to me, wrapping his arms around me, purring. He can do that even will out of the cat suit?

There was definantly no getting up now, even if I wanted to. I soon fell asleep too, happy and content.

. . .

Adrien's POV

I slowly woke up the next morning, stiff for some reason. And where was that warmth coming from?

My eyes pop open when I finally remember. I'm at Marinette's house, not mine! 

The first thing I see is her blue hair, as I try to register what position we're in. In my sleep, I had pulled her closer to me, hugging her gently. 

I looked at a clock at the wall. YIKES! I needed to move before anyone noticed I was gone. 

I quickly changed back into my normal clothes and transform myself into Chat Noir, Plagg grumbling the whole time.

I left Marinette a little note and put her in her real bed before I leapt off towards home in the early Parisian morning.

It felt like today was going to be a good day. But then again, I am a black cat superhero, destined for bad luck. Who knows what this day will hold.

(A/N Two updates in one weekend? Wow, didn't know I had it in me, lol. Hopefully I can get out more later this week, but if not, hope you enjoyed this part! Thanks for all the support and votes as well! Sea ya!)
