Adrien sat on his couch, his arm draped over Ladybug's shoulder.

It had been a few days since they had kissed. Marinette was busy with school and some design commissions she needed to finish and Adrien was busy with school and modeling. There was patrolling, but things had been calm so that did not take up as much time. Even so, they were busy and couldn't see each other. Not as Adrien and Ladybug that is. 

Ladybug rested her head against his chest, cuddling up to him and letting out a quiet sigh. Adrien smiled and gave her a kiss on the top of her head. Ladybug blushed and buried her face into his chest. "You're too cute," he chuckled.

She tensed up hearing this and pulled away from him a little, her face flushed. Adrien looked at her, confused. "What's wrong?"

Ladybug shook her head, "N-nothing, it's just... I... I wasn't expecting th-that." 

"I hope I'm not making you uncomfortable." I'd hate to lose you too. 

"Y-you're not," she whispered, cuddling up to him again. She felt her heart racing. He called her cute! 

After a few moments of silence, Adrien spoke again. "Can I ask you a few questions?"

Ladybug lifted her face to look up at him. Adrien turned to look at her and took notice of how long and pretty her lashes were. They complimented her big blue eyes perfectly. "About what?" she asked.

He shrugged, "I just want to get to know you better."

Ladybug looked away nervously. What if he asked very personal questions? Would he ask who she is? Would he try to figure out who she is by asking her specific questions? She already knew Tikki was upset about her seeing him, giving away personal information would only make the kwami more upset. 

She trusted Adrien, he was Chat Noir, she knew he could keep a secret, but she wasn't sure if it was a good idea. 

"I'm not going to ask who you are and I'm not going to try to figure out who you are. I just want to get to know you. We've been seeing each other for a few weeks now and I want to know more about you. You don't have to answer any questions you're not comfortable with," he spoke softly. 

"Ok," she responded, her voice barely above a whisper. Marinette could feel Tikki fuming inside the earrings. 

"What's your favorite color?"

"Pink."

"Favorite food?"

"Not sure. Maybe macarons."

"Are you in school?"

"Y-yes."

"Did you... did you have a crush on anyone? Or still, do?" he asked that last part quietly. He felt her tense up in his arms again. 

Ladybug almost felt her heart stop. Her palms felt sweaty and she felt nervous. 

Sensing her discomfort, Adrien added, "You don't have to respond."

"I-I..." Ladybug gulped. "I... I um..." What if she told him? What would happen if she told him she liked Chat Noir?

"Is it Chat Noir?" he asked, remembering her previous words. 

Ladybug hesitated before quietly whispering a yes. 

Adrien stayed silent. He didn't know what to think or say. Ladybug liked him and he had no idea. 

He told her he was in love with someone else. That's what she had been referring to when she said Chat unintentionally hurt her. He broke her heart by saying he loved someone else. Now he wondered if she too was with him for selfish reasons. 

"Do you still like him?"

"I-I don't know," she said, her voice still a whisper. 

Adrien only hummed in response. Why was he asking her this? Marinette wondered. It made her feel very nervous. 

They stayed silent for a few moments before Adrien pulled her into his lap. Ladybug took in a sharp breath, surprised by his actions. 

Adrien tucked a hair behind Ladybug's ear. She felt her heartbeat speed up and almost painfully beat against her chest. 

She kept still as Adrien leaned in and pressed his lips against hers. Ladybug relaxed and melted into the kiss. This kiss was different than the first one they shared. This one had more need, more passion. They both needed this.

Adrien's hands held her hips firmly while Ladybug's hands moved to cup his face. Adrien boldly slipped his hands to cup her butt.  She let out a gasp, her face turning bright red. Adrien took this opportunity to deepen the kiss. 

Was he crossing the line? Maybe. She didn't seem to be uncomfortable nor was she attempting to pull away. He would stop if she said anything, but for now, he wanted to push the boundary. 

Was it really so wrong for him to do this? He kept telling himself no. Ladybug was using him too, wasn't she? Her heart was broken, so was his. They needed comfort and they were getting it from each other. 

So this was fine, right?

Marinette shook under the mask. They had kissed before, but now he was touching her! She felt a shiver run down her spine as he ran his hands up to her waist. 

In one quick movement, Ladybug was pinned down on the couch while Adrien hovered over her, his lips still on hers. She let out a small squeak, surprised by his actions. 

She broke the kiss and looked away, needing to catch her breath. Adrien took this opportunity to feather soft kisses down her jawline to her neck. Ladybug took in a sharp breath. 

Adrien considered giving her a hickey. Give her a little mark to remind her of him. Ladybug bit her lip and tensed when he pulled down her suit a little, exposing more of her neck. He continued to feather kisses down her neck before stopping, leaving his lips pressed against her neck.

Ladybug's heart was beating against her chest, her breathing rigid. Was he going to give her hickey? She began to panic slightly. He couldn't do that! What if he saw her at school with it? Would he make the connection?

He sucked on her skin softly. Ladybug squirmed underneath him and her hands quickly flew up to his shoulders. "W-wait!" she breathed out, pushing him back.

Almost in a trance, Adrien pulled back.

"D-did you leave a-a mark?" she asked with wide eyes.

Adrien let his eyes wonder to her neck. He grinned. He left a mark. It was pretty small, but it was there.

His facial expression was enough to tell Marinette that he had indeed marked her. She sat up and Adrien moved back to let her sit up. 

She quickly adjusted her suit and shyly turned to look at him. His eyes were glossed over and she could clearly see the lust in his eyes. 

Marinette felt a shiver run down her spine. Adrien was lusting over her. 

Suddenly, she felt very nervous and self-conscious under his gaze. 

"I-I should go," Ladybug stuttered. Adrien didn't say anything, he kept staring at her, wishing he could just take her then and there. 

She got up and awkwardly made her way over to his window. She turned to look at him and waved shyly before leaving. 

Adrien only followed her with his eyes, his mind still clouded with thoughts of wanting to fuck her. 

.

Marinette made it into her room before detransforming. She made her away over to her mirror. 

Her cheeks were still very flushed and her eyes trailed down to her neck. Yup, there was the hickey. 

Next to Marinette was an angry Tikki.

"Marinette!" Tikki spoke. "You said you wouldn't let it go far! Now look at what he did! What if someone sees? What if he sees it at school?"

Marinette looked away awkwardly, "I know, I know... but don't worry about it, Tikki. I can just cover it with makeup. I might have to layer plenty of concealer but I should be fine. I won't let anyone see it."

Tikki shook her head before flying away. 

Marinette sighed before going off to bed.
