Forever Twisted

chapter 13: too close!

        Chat noir and marinette had fallen asleep. Marinette sighed contentedly. She frowned in confusion. Something was different... chat noir felt warmer... still laying across her, head on her shoulder. Where there had been, cold leather, she now felt soft fabric and sleeveless arms. Marinette froze. Chat noir had detransformed on top of her! Marinette squeezed her eyes shut, so she didn't know his identity. It was too soon! Chat noir barely knew marinette. Though they would reveal their identities someday, now was not the time. Marinette shook the detransformed chat noir's shoulders. His jacket was tender to touch compared to the feel of his shiny armor. "Kitty!" marinette whispered, still closing her eyes as she tried to wake him. "Kitten! Wake up! You have to transform! I can't see you like this!" her voice rose a bit, though she still kept her voice low to make sure her parents couldn't hear from downstairs, her room was directly above theirs after all.

Chat noir opened his eyes slowly, flinching in surprise, with realization of his mask's absence. He shook nervously. Marinette can't find out who I am underneath the mask! Not like this! He had already planned a special way to reveal himself to her, in a rather creative way. Oh no! What do I do? There is no way to leave without revealing myself to my princess! His thoughts were cut off as marinette ran a hand through his hair, his sensitive head tingling at her gentle touch. "M-mari... i...I am sorry, I should have been more careful! And now my secret will be out for sure and you'll probably hate me after this because of the danger I put you in and then I'll get akumatized and-" marinette giggled quietly, making chat noir's tongue stop working when he heard the adorable sound. He swallowed. It was like music to him. Marinette took her hand off of his head. "Don't worry Kitten, my eyes are closed." she soothed, calming all of Adrien's nerves. Adrien nodded, getting off of her and stepping away. He Kissed marinette's forehead lovingly, making her blush, smiling. Adrien gazed down fondly at marinette, eyes closed. She would not peek. He knew that. Adrien let out a small purr. "Goodbye my purr-incess, I lo- trust you." with that, Adrien climbed the stairs that lead up to her balcony, climbing out of the trap door. Now exposed to the cold, night air, Adrien shivered. Taking a tray of colorful camembert slices, out of his blue bag, slung over his strong shoulder. In the tray were the power up treats for Plagg. There was a green one, blue, pink, orange, white and purple. The green one gave aquatic powers and the blue one gave him the power of ice. 

Adrien grinned, grabbing the red cheese curiously. "Hmm..." he hummed. "I wonder what this one does?" Adrien capped the container up again and returned it to his backpack. Punching the air above his head, he threw the camembert at the same time that Plagg flew out of his pocket. Grinning, Adrien spoke. "Plagg! Power up!" Plagg caught the red cheese in his mouth. He was soon blinded by a pinkish-red flash of light, transforming Plagg temporarily. Opening his green eyes, Plagg spun, and the black kwami was soon turned into a dark red color, speckled with black and white spots. A mistletoe bowtie was fastened around his tiny neck. "PlaggEve!" (like christmas eve) plagg declared, striking a pose. Adrien smiled at how cute and cozy his kwami looked. Drawing his hand to his face, his ring glowed and plagg was sucked into it as he spoke; "PlaggEve! Claws out!" he was surprised by the new transformation. (when miraculous holders transformed, they couldn't really control what dance they did, the kwami's took control at that time) covering his eyes with his hands, Adrien felt his mask appear, though it felt softer then normal... leaping into the air, he did a front flip, his suit appearing as he landed on all fours. Flipping his 'perfect' model hair, he sprouted ears. Staying on all fours, chat pounced at nothing, tail forming behind him. Straightening up, chat noir swiped the air, folding his arms cooly.

Chat noir's eyes widened when he looked in the reflection on his ring. "Too cool!" he grinned, examining his new look.

Chat noir was now more like Chat rouge now! (rouge is red in french) instead of his usual cold, leather suit was now a red, soft, almost fluffy built in sweater, with black and white spots and green mitten-like gloves. His tail was a furry red belt, decorated with golden bells and he wore a mistletoe tie instead of the usual bell. His green eyes were now a deep yellow. Chat noir smirked, flexing. "Well,well,well! This is interesting! I just look so hot in this adorable sweater don't I?" he said to himself. Chat noir yowled in exhilaration, twirling his candy cane- baton. This was officially his new favorite power up! Chat noir was already forming a plan as he ran towards his home. Tomorrow, would be the day. All their secrets would be spilled and they would finally know the truth. Chat noir leapt down, reaching his bedroom window and swinging through, landing onto his bed skillfully. Quickly snapping a picture of himself in holiday gettup (as he thought of it), chat noir sighed, releasing his transformation. "Claws in." Plagg flew out of Adrien's ring, hovering over his master while he lay down. "So... what-what did you look like as Chat -Noel?" he teased. Chat noir gasped. "Creative name plagg, but I prefurr chat christmas or christmas chat-"

plagg cut him off, not impressed. "Uhhhh, adrien..." he growled. Adrien blinked. "What?" Plagg rolled his eyes. "Uhhhh chat noel literaly means christmas chat! Noel is christmas in french! Gah! How do you not know this?!" he almost screamed. Adrien shrugged defensively. "I don't know! I'm not french-" he began, then cut himself off. "Um, can you hear yourself boy? You literaly live in paris!" "Okay, yah, i really need my sleep before my brain officialy dies." he nodded. Plagg sighed. "Yas! Finely! Now did you get a picture of chat noel?" he prompted. Adrien nodded, showing Plagg the picture of him on his phone. Plagg gasped in delight. "Ooh la la! Not bad lovebird! You should send that to mari!" he nudged adrien's shoulder. Adrien nodded. "Yah! She probably will like it..." Typing in a text message he clicked the send button and almost immediately, marinette answered him.

On his phone:

Chat noir: 'well, purrincess, what do you think of this new look? My name is Chat noel rn! ;)

Marinette: 'aw! OMG! You look so adorable kitty! How do you do that?'

Chat noir: 'it's one of my powerups, the red one, tell ladybug for me!'

Marinette: '*giggle* okay kitty! I will ;) and goodnight. <3

Chat noir: 'goodnight purr-incess nwn

Adrien smiled, reading the text messages. He wiggled under the covers of his bed, letting out a contented purr. Closing his eyes, Adrien told Plagg goodnight before drifting off to sleep.
