Marinette's POV

It has been a week since I confessed my feelings to Adrien. I haven't seen him since. I can't lie I am worried about him. I have seen Natalie a few times picking up his homework but she doesn't speak. I asked Nino if he has spoken with him but he said that his father has got him busy with photoshoots although it seemed like he was lying. I am starting to believe that he is just avoiding me. I have texted him and I have gotten no reply so it's not hard to believe. Besides that, the week has not been that bad.

 Chat has been coming over every night, we always have fun. He stops by after patrol and we spend hours talking, watching movies, and eating sweets. He really loves croissants. I have learned so much about him. I found out he is more than a flirty hero with bad puns but he is more than that he is sweet, caring, funny, and sometimes sensitive. He knows a lot about the fashion industry and is extremely good with physics (he helped me with my homework last night) so he is smart. I found out he lost his mom about a year ago so it's just his dad and him but his dad is cold and distant so he feels alone. So he likes coming here with me and he is so cute-wait what? No Marinette you can't like him. Uhhh that dumb cat is confusing me more.

-Flashback-

Tap, tap, tap

Marinette- Kitty you're here!

Chat Noir- Of course, I am Purrincess I wouldn't miss our nightly conversations that would be a cat-astrophe

Marinette- Silly kitty! So you hungry?

Chat Noir- For those purrfect croissants, always J

Marinette- Ok I'll get some in the meantime you can pick a movie.

Chat Noir- Purrfect

Marinette- No more puns please (Mari blushes and walks out to later come back with a snack tray and two milkshakes.

Chat Noir- here let me help with that my princess *did I just say that damn it way to make it weird*

Marinette- "My princess?"

Chat Noir- Umm w-well y-you kind of are

Marinette-I guess I am but if I am your princess then you are my kitty

Chat walks up to her and places his hands on her waist and pulls her close. Their faces now only inches apart. He can feel his hot breath on her skin making her blush uncontrollably.

Chat Noir- Yes I am your kitty and you are my princess but be careful cats tend to get real protective of what's theirs.

Chat leans in making their noses touch but Marinette pulls backs and giggles.

Marinette- Silly kitty stop playing

Chat Noir- But I'm your silly kitty. Plus did I see my princess blush

Marinette- No! Just play the movie you dumb cat.

They both walk towards her bed and sit down to watch the movie.

*30 Minutes After*

Chat- Hey purrincess?

Mari- Yes Chat

Chat- I know it is too much to ask but I really don't want to go back to the house can I maybe stay here with you tonight? I promise to be good and not bother-

Chat gets interrupted by a hug

Mari- I would love that kitty.

She then walks to her closet and grabs a bag of clothes and hands it to him. Inside the bag, there was a chat noir onesie and a black mask

Mari- I made this for you just in case you needed to detransform one day. That way your kwami can rest as well.

Chat is touched; he tries to hold back tears of happiness. * I wonder if my princess has feelings for this black stray. Maybe my princess loves both sides of me. That would truly be amazing. I don't deserve someone this perfect. I really can't lose her. I really do love this girl.* he thinks to himself.

Mari- Chat are you okay?

Chat- Yes. I am sorry princess I am just a little excited. I truly love this gift. No one has ever done something like this. No one has ever cared this much about me. I am truly thankful.

Mari pulls Chat in for a bone-crushing hug and whispers in his ear "well I care Chat. I care come that you think." After they release the hug Chat heads to the bathroom and changes. Later they head to bed.

Marinette's POV

I think I really am falling for that dumb alley cat but I still love Adrien. I wish they were the same person then things would be so much easier but that's crazy right? This morning when I woke up Chat was already gone. I wish he would have still been here but I understand. I walk to my desk and see a note

Purrincess,

I am sorry I left without saying goodbye but I had to be back before my father noticed I was gone. I wanted to let you know that last night was one of the best nights of my life and I am really grateful for all you did for me. Sleeping by your side was so amazing. I'll see you tonight my beautiful princess.

Love your kitty

CN

I hold the note close to my heart. Oh no, I really am falling for Chat Noir but how is that possible when I love Adrien and what am I going to do about Luka. Speaking of Luka we have been hanging out after school quite a lot. He treats me amazingly and had taken me out on another two dates. I know what you think but no I am not his girlfriend yet I realized that I am not ready yet and he understands that but is happy that I am at least trying.

 He is a really amazing and sweet guy but my heart has not changed the way it feels. Juleka and I spoke and she told me Luka wants to make sure I moved on completely before asking me to be his girlfriend which I really do appreciate she also reminds me that he would do anything to make me happy. I know she is right. I don't want to lie I do like spending time with him sometimes I feel like my feelings for him could turn romantic one day but I would have to forget Adrien first. Oh and now Chat Noir too.

 I am sure I like Chat but if I am being honest a superhero like him would never love clumsy and shy Marinette. To him, I am also just a friend. Maybe I should just be Lukas's girlfriend. "Marinette! Stop daydreaming you are going to be late for school." Tikki whisper yells at me. "Oh no Tikki I'm late" I grab my things and run to school. "Yes, I am going to make it" I yell but right then my clumsiness kicks in. I trip on air, yes that's right air making me lose my balance and begin falling. I close my eyes and wait for impact but it never comes. I feel a pair of strong arms around my waist holding me tight keeping me from falling. I slowly open my eyes to see...
