The New Guardian

This has to be a dream

Authors Note: Hi guys! First, this story is my own version of events taken place after Season 3. If you haven't seen that yet, this will spoil it for you and I don't want that :( Second, the characters have been aged up because there are possibly sexual scenes in this. Third, this is obviously my first piece of writing so leave some comments on what you possibly wanna read and maybe I'll include it! I'm writing during the pandemic and it's summer break so at least for now this story will be my main priority. I don't have a set schedule of when I will be posting but I hope to post a few times a week. I hope you like it and thanks for reading! :) Now let the story begin! -Xoxo, N

I sit down on my chaise with the Miracle Box beside me. I glance at my trapdoor making sure it's locked. Just breathe, Marinette. You can do this, you have to do this. This is your job now. Tikki flies over to me and hugs my cheek to show support. 

"I know you're nervous but I believe in you!" Tikki says, as she sits in my hands.

"I am nervous, but Master Fu trusted me enough to make me the new guardian and I can't let him down. It's just so much responsibility and what if I mess it all up? What if I slip up and Hawkmoth finds the box? Or what if Chat finds it here? Oh my God, what if Chat finds out I'm Ladybug!? What if he gets akumatized and-" I'm cut off by Tikkis small hands on my lips.

"Marinette, please! It's okay! Calm down. I doubt Chat Noir will figure it out, he hasn't yet. There's nothing to lead him to think you were Ladybug, so he wouldn't be looking for the box anyways. Plus, you'll hide it! No one will find it."

I huff, "I guess you're right, Tikki. But, where should I hide it?"

"Hmm.." Tikki swirls around the room.

I look around my room aimlessly to find the perfect hiding spot along with my kwami. Our search has no avail so I decide to start from scratch. I put the box in my clothes trunk for time being and begin to sketch ideas for another trunk. I design a nice, big pink trunk with a false bottom. I have some spare supplies from another project I was doing and begin to work. Thank God I already asked Papa for all these tools or they'd be super suspicious. I'm halfway done when I hear a tap on my window. Oh no. I swing my head towards the window to see Chat Noir. 

Chat happily waves at me through the glass. I jump, causing a look of concern in his eyes. He opens the window and I yell for him to wait and he holds it open. I stand and stuff the large Miracle Box behind my back.

"What's wrong, Purincess? Ya keeping secrets from me?" he says slyly.

"HAHA, What? Me? Secrets? Ummm, nope! Never! I mean, what would I have to hide? Nothing! Haha!" Nice Marinette, not suspicious at all. 

"Sounds like you are definitely keeping a secret. You know, I'm kind of hurt," he says with a tinge of sarcasm and mellow drama, "and to think, I was your prince in shining leather." He dramatically drapes a hand over  his eyes and starts to fake cry.

"Sure kitty, whatever you say. I'm working on a new fashion trunk cause I, uh, have too many new designs coming up. Yeah, and I didn't want you to get hurt on any loose nails?"

"Marinette, I'm a superhero," Chat says as he flexes an arm at me. "I get worse things thrown at me than a few nails. But, thanks for the warning." He begins to climb in the window.

"WAIT!" What now? Chat stops climbing in and waits for my response, clearly confused. "I, um, actually was gonna..." I start to blush.

"Gonna....?"

"Get changed.." I look away blushing. Chat looks me up and down and realizes what I mean. His face starts to match my same red color. 

"OH. Um, well, yeah. You do that, I will, uh, wait out here for a signal." Chat closes the window and turns around. I look for Tikki, who is hiding under the chaise. I put the box on the chaise above Tikki and step towards my closet. I pull out my pajamas since it's almost night anyways and I don't plan on going out. I throw my clothes on the long chair. I start to take off my clothes but I trip on a pant leg, fall and knock the box to the ground with a large CRASH. I look at the box in horror. A few Miraculous' spilled out of the box. 

I hear Chat jump up and open the window. Oh God, oh God, oh God! This can NOT be happening right now! I hear him land on my bed.

"Marinette, are you oka-"

"UH, DON'T LOOK I'M NAKED!"

"OHMYGOSH!" I hear the slap of his hands go across his eyes. "I'M SO SORRY MARINETTE, I'M NOT LOOKING I SWEAR. I JUST HEARD YOU FALL AND-" Another large crash follows. I look up to see Chat roll off my bed, directly onto the floor in front of me. You have got to be kidding me. He groans in pain.

"Chat! Are you okay!?" I quickly scoop up the fallen Miraculous and throw them into the Miracle Box. "I'm, uh gonna see if I have an ice pack." I run the box into my bathroom and set it down in my tub and pull the shower curtain. I run back to Chat to make sure he's okay. I sit down beside him, picking up his head and placing it in my lap. There's a large bruise forming on his chin so I crack the instant ice pack and place it on the wound. He winces for a moment but looks relieved. He opens his eyes and grows bright red again.

"What's wrong, silly kitty?" I ask as I tussle his hair, looking into eyes. "Are you really that hurt? I thought you said you fought off worse things since you're a superhero and all." I laugh a little but Chat is still laying in my arms as stiff as possible, trying to avoid my gaze.

"M-M-Marinette...I, uh..You, uh are-"

"What, cat got your tongue, Chaton?"

"Marinette, you're still um, naked.."

This has to be a dream, right?
