Chat Got Your Tongue? | Adrien Agreste Fanfiction

Mission Marinette

"Batwing!" Chat Noir said to you. You were standing outside of your bedroom door, pretending to guard it. He poked his head out of Chloe's room. "Is (Y/N) doing okay?" You nodded and he smiled. "I'm glad. I wish we could've switched," he chuckled. "She's got me in here trying to do her particle physics homework."

You smiled and shook your head. "Not--" you paused as you realized that you didn't know how to say 'suprised'. "Not fair," you decided on, giggling slightly.

He shrugged his shoulders in defeat before coming out of Chloe's room and stopping in front of your door. "It would've been better if you were inside with her," he said thoughtfully. You arched an eyebrow at him. "She could've been attacked, too, through the window or something." He put his hands on his hips and thought for a moment. "I should check on her."

"No!" you said, startled. He sighed and reached for the door handle, but you quickly moved in front of it to block him off so that he was up close to you, your bodies almost touching. "She wants to be alone."

Chat Noir crossed his arms. "I guess I'm going to have to trust you." But he didn't seem happy about it.

Your mouth fell open and you continued to watch him in awe as he walked back towards Chloe's room. That was it? He trusted you so quickly, just because you were his new partner. You felt your heart squeeze in your chest, like someone was holding it tightly.

"Ladybug told me she has an assignment for us, so we better go." He glanced over at your bedroom door sadly and you followed him back to Chloe's balcony.

"You're out of danger, uh, so we'll see ya!" he said awkwardly. "Later!" He jumped away, with you close behind him with your extendable nunchucks.

You followed him all the way to the top of a small bakery you would pass on your way to school. It was completely white except for the navy blue roof that had a cute little balcony atop of it decorated with small plants and fairy lights.

The bottom floor was the Dupain-Cheng Bakery, and various pasties lined the window. Your Imawk even enhanced your ability to smell, so you could distinguish each dish they were making.

Stickers adorned the front windows, advertising different dishes and the bakery logo. You saw a large man and a petite woman inside rolling out dough, but it was only for a second.

Below was Sabrina, talking amicably with who you recognized to be Marinette. She handed her a folder enthusiastically and Marinette took it slowly.

"So, Ladybug is the leader?" you asked Chat Noir. He shrugged his shoulders. "I mean you follow her around, and she doesn't explain--"

"She's the only one who can de-evilize akumas." That was his explanation- short and precise. You almost felt sad for him. His bright green eyes and his yearn to fight made your heart melt. You reached over and carefully put your hand on his shoulder.

You left it there until you saw Sabrina huff and puff angrily before stomping away. Chat Noir moved gracefully out from under your hand and landed down in front of Marinette's door. "Whoo-hoo! I thought I was going to have to save you from that girl's claws. "He pawed at her with his black claws. "Get it? Claws?" You sniggered to yourself and rolled your eyes at his corniness- it was cute. "Hey, I haven't even introduced myself. I'm Cat Noir." He knelt down to the ground and gave Marinette a kiss on the hand.

You landed landed down next to him, a little less graceful than he had, but you were still new, and you seemed to had startle Marinette. She pulled her hand away quickly and grimaced.

"Uh, yeah... I know you! You kinda save the day all the time and stuff... but who is she?" She pointed to you, and her brows stitched together.

"I'm Batwing."

Chat Noir threw his arm around his shoulders and smirked. "She's the newest member of our team! Someone to give Ladybug a run for her money!" He laughed lightheartedly but Marinette's nose flared. But she managed composed herself, blinking rapidly as she did so.

The whole interaction seemed odd to you.

"I'm Marinette!" It was as though she forced herself to smile. "So... What are you doing here?"

Chat released you from under his arm and looked to Marinette. "Well, that birthday boy date of yours is bad news." He held his arm up and began to flex his biceps, which were actually a decent size. "But don't worry. You'll be safe with us."

"That puts my mind at ease." Her tone was sarcastic, but Chat Noir didn't seem to pick up on it. You almost wanted to ask if they had ever met before and this was a normal exchange, but they had both introduced themselves, so you knew that wasn't true.

"We are going to need a little help. So, can you do that?" you asked seriously. It was more of a demand than a question as you grew increasingly aggravated by the way people were treating Chat Noir.

"Marinette turned her back to the two of you and asked, "What about Ladybug? Aren't you a duo?"

"Actually," Chat Noir said, "we're a trio, now." He gave you an encouraging grin and you couldn't help but smile back. "And she's busy with something tonight, so...You get to be our Ladybug."

Marinette spun around dramatically and began to fall all over Chat Noit. "Me and Cat Noir, and whoever you are? Fighting crime together?" You rolled your eyes and snorted. "Amaazing! What do I do?"

"Just get that drawing pencil away from him."

"We'll take care of the rest."

You both jumped away. You could use you nunchucks to latch onto a far off building and propel yourself forward. Then, using the wings under your arms you could glide almost another hundred feet before needing your nunchucks again. Chat Noir even told you he thought it was pretty cool.

"I'll see you tonight, okay?" he asked you. "We'll meet at the Seine at 8 o'clock. Sorry, I just have some stuff to do for school, you know how the double life can be." He smirked cockily at you before saluting and going off. You watched him leave for a few seconds before you made your way back to the hotel- you had to meet up with Adrien to work on your particle physics project.
