The Gift: A Miraculous Fanfiction

Pajamas

With her homework already out of the way, and no Chat Noir coming to visit, Marinette didn't know what to do with her free time. And to think that just a few weeks ago she was so overwhelmed with all of her responsibilities. Her anxiety and stress had all but disappeared.

She wandered aimlessly around her room for a while before finally deciding to go to bed. Once changed into her pajamas, she flipped the lights off and climbed up to the loft.

She closed her eyes as her head hit the pillow.

Tap tap tap.

Marinette smiled and opened her eyes. She kneeled up on her bed and lifted the hatch.

"Can I help you?" she asked, climbing out and smirking at the black cat on her balcony.

"Hello Princess, long time no see," he smirked back. "I was wondering if you would want to come over and watch my mom's movie with me. We never got to watch the whole thing last time."

"Yeah, I remember. And I'd love to see your mom's movie. Are you sure that it's okay for me to come over?" she asked.

"Of course!"

She smiled. "Alright. Just let me get dressed."

"I think what you're wearing is perfect. If I recall correctly, you were wearing your pajamas the last time too."

Marinette jabbed him on the shoulder as she blushed.

"Oh come on," he continued. "I'll put my pajamas on too. We'll have a slumber party!"

She couldn't help but smile. "Fine," she said.

He scooped her up, holding her bridal style. "Don't be afraid."

"I'm not afraid," she whispered, looking up at him and wrapping her arms around his neck.

It took everything in his power not to lean in a kiss her right then and there. "Okay, let's go," he whispered back.

Marinette tightened her grip as they jumped across the rooftops. Within minutes they landed in Adrien's room.

Reluctantly, Chat Noir let Marinette down to her feet. He had loved feeling her pressed up against him.

She took a few steps into the room, looking around. He watched her as she moved.

"So, are you going to detransform, or what?" she finally asked him.

"Yeah, I will," he said, putting his hand to the back of his head. "I just don't want you to freak out again when you see Plagg. He's the black cat kwami that gives me my powers. He, uh... meowed at you yesterday."

"How could I forget," she murmured. "It's okay, I promise I won't faint again."

Chat Noir nodded. "Claws in." A green light surrounded him as his transformation wore off, revealing Adrien and Plagg.

"Hi Marinette," the kwami said.

"Hi Plagg," she replied, putting her hand out.

He quickly flew over and landed in her outstretched hand. She smiled and pulled him close to her face. "You have got to be the cutest thing I have ever seen."

Plagg flew up and around her head a couple of times, earning a laugh from the girl, before hugging her cheek. Marinette pulled him away to look at him again. "You must be hungry."

Plagg looked back at Adrien. "I knew I always liked her."

"Let's get you something to eat," Marinette continued. "Adrien, do you have any food here?"
