Miraculous Kidnapped au, opposites attract

Chapter 15

Marinettes pov:
As me and Kim chat it up, I realise it's been almost and hour since chat left,
As Kim starts looking at the clock I know he's realised as well. "Should you try and call him?" I say "yea, I think I will. Hold on." He stands up and leaves the room.
"He got into some trouble, but he's back now." And right on time chat noir enters the room. "Hello stranger." He jokes. I just sit looking at him, his hair looks awfully damp. "You look like you go drowned." Kim laughs at him. "Yes about that, I got ambushed." He says rather calmly. His green eyes meet mine and I see him relax a little, "do you want to put your stupid food on? Me and marinette will wait on the couch." He chucks the bag at Kim and sits down next to me. "I didn't think cats liked water." I tease and his playful smirk sets in. "We cats don't, but such a lovely day could not go to waste," He jokes then shakes his hair, misting me with light drops of water. "Chaaaat." I giggle and push his shoulder. I really do like him, a lot, I've gotten to know him a bit better. But why do I think I like him? I don't even know who he really is, and that thought saddens me and I look down into my curled lap. Chats smile leaves his face as he asks, "hey what's wrong? Is it because I wet you?" He gently grabs my wrist and I flinch.
He notices and let's go, and I just start crying, sobbing into my arms.
He doesn't know what to do, so I take action instead. I crawl onto his lap and sit there with my head against his chest, after a few seconds of hesitation he wraps his arms around me. "Shhh, it's okay, I didn't mean to upset you mari." I wipe my tears away with my arm and look up at him, "it's not the fact you wet me chat," I half heartedly giggle, "I hate what I'm feeling and I don't understand it, I want to trust you but I don't even know who you are kitty," , I know calling him kitty is a weak spot. "Marinette," he looks torn in half, "you know me better than anyone else. It's just not the right time." He says and I just lean into his chest. I can hear his heart beating fast, it's soothing. About 10 minutes later Kim comes back, I've calmed down but I'm still in chats lap. I don't wanna move, and he doesn't make me. he moves over and takes me with him. Kim sits, turns on the movie I picked, and we watch it.

Chats pov:
After about 40 minutes into the movie I realise marinettes fallen asleep on me and I can't help but want to purr. Kim's sitting beside me, he finished his second batch of popcorn a while ago and notices me looking at him. "Yea? " he says and I look down at marinette. "She'll be fine dude. if she fell asleep watching the movie, it won't be too loud." I guess he's right.
I start a conversation on his confrontation yesterday.
"I know that I can't see her as chat after this Kim." he looks at me surprised, hell im even surprised I'm admitting this to Kim. "But I won't stop seeing her," I look up at him. "I love her." His mouth sets in a straight line as he stands up. "I know. chat I do care about you. And I know that your gonna get hurt when you have to let her go." He pauses, "Unless you tell her who you are. But we both know how dangerous that is."He looks at me unblinking as he walks off, upstairs to his room.
I trust marinette, I really do. But would she betray me as adrien and hand me in? how would she react? It's impossible to know.
I watch a couple more movies after he's left and when I look at the clock it's just past 1 in the morning. I look down at the girl lying against me and happiness fuels my decisions, I'm going to tell her who I am.
The only question is when and how?
I de transform and place the mask I carry around, onto my face. As I stand up I'm carrying her in my arms, I walk towards the bedroom when there's a knock at the door, dammit! I quickly go and lay marinette in bed, Take the mask off and go answer the door.

My heart skips a beat as I see a blue jumper over someone's head. Fuck! It's the police. is my first thought, until the person turns around. And I'm surprised.
"Nino!" I pull him inside, "what are you doing here?".
"Can't a Guy just want to hang out with his best bud." I raise my eyebrow at him, he's not telling the truth, I can tell because he rubs his hands together. He's done it since we were kids, "Fine," he sighs no longer trying to lie, "we need to return marinette to her family as soon as possible." There it is, that's why he's really here. "Why does it matter so much all of a sudden to you?" I ask confused. "Adrien listen, I've really gotten myself into a pickle, I really like Alya and I can't stand to see her so distraught over marinette being missing.". I narrow my eyes and close the front door behind us. "She's upstairs right now." I breathe out, "But don't you see how much I like marinette, she makes me happy," pausing i add "most of the time and I'm not going to give her up because her friend is upset" I say starting to raise my voice. Nino steps back looking shocked I'm almost yelling at him. "Look I'm sorry nino, your my best friend and I'll do basically anything to have your back. But this is asking too much of me. I've always helped you as many ways as I can, but just give me the benefit of the doubt." I say pleading, "she won't get hurt and will be back soon enough." although my word goes I hate arguing with my closest friend. "Can we please at least hurry up her release?" He begs,
"I'll do what I can." I reply. "One more thing." He pipes in, "yea?",
"Can I crash here for the night I can't be bothered to go back home at half past 1 in the morning." I laugh, and nino joins in. "Of course," I smile, "if u want u can sleep on the couch or I can get you a blanket and you can crash in the empty guest room." I suggest to him. "I thought marinette would be staying in that room?" He asks me, shit, my face turns red. "No." He says in disbelief "you guys haven't, have you?." He looks at me questionably. "God no nino, she's only known me as chat for just about 2 weeks." I laugh at him. "I'll take the couch thanks," and with that he's off to the couch, as I'm walking back upstairs he calls out, "but if you do, use protection adrien!" My face burns as I throw on the mask and go into where marinette is sleeping, it's a warm night so I chuck off my shirt and hop into the bed opposite of marinette, "chat..?" I hear her whisper, "it's just me," it's pitch black so she can't see me and without me being chat I can't see her either, but I feel her turn around towards me. "Who were you talking to downstairs?" She asks me yawning , stifling a purr I say "it was no one mari,". I reach out for her face blindly and my hand finds what I think is her shoulder, I rub it and try and pull her towards me, but she goes against it, "you okay." I ask, is she uncomfortable being close to me? But what about on the couch? I think to myself. "Chat, it's just, I trust you I really do but," I listen waiting, but she doesn't continue and I can guess what. "But you have no idea who I am behind the mask, and that scares you." I say and i feel her nod.
"Mari, I want you to know me as chat for a reason." And I hear her start to cry again, and this time, when I pull her towards me, she doesn't resist.
