Chat pov
Another Akuma is stopped and the paparazzi surrounded us. The annoying flashes in our eyes with a jumble of comments and questions. I kept tapping ladybug on the other side of her shoulder to get her mad. As usual, she glares at me while I play innocence. Then I let ladybug take over the paparazzi I rather not be in the spotlight. 

"Is it true that you and Ladybug are dating? You two were caught on a romantic run across through the city." The question surprised me and so did everyone else. I turn to see Alya pop out nowhere with a picture in her hand and her phone in the other.

I'm diffidently busted I can sense ladybug eyes burning the back of my head. I scratch the back of my head and winked at ladybug. "No problem, I got it covered," I shifted my weight, leaning on my staff and twirling my leather tail in the other hand. No, I got nothing.

I went blank as I didn't answer then familiar voice interrupted my thoughts m, "Me and Chat were goofing around we are not an item." Ladybug clearly states as though if it was a usual thing.

Wait! She not ratting me out that it not her. I blankly look at ladybug as my mind filled with questions. I gave an odd look toward ladybug as she gesture to play along, "Hey a cat tries." I shrugged with a grin.

"But you two caught holding hands and hugging!" Alya pulled out the image again.

Shoot... Marinette was right about this picture. If it was clearer they would have caught that it not ladybug but Marinette. That silhouette kinda does look like ladybug... But obviously it not her, it Marinette. But as long the fandom buys it that it ladybug that all it matters. I looked at Alya to comment back, "Uhh you guys are over imagining we were purracticing tactics." I made up quickly even though it didn't make sense.

"We all know you two have a thing," Alya complain back.

"Oh look at that I have to run." ladybug says before throwing her yoyo to a nearby beam.

Yeah, I'm not letting her leave without an answer on why she is not ratting me out. "If m'lady leaves then that means I may scat. Farewell."

I press a button on my pole to extend up to the sky. I jump to the roof and caught up with Ladybug. "M'lady may I have a word?" I yelled while losing my breath.

She gave a sigh and looked at me, "Chat it better be quick."

"Of course, why didn't you let the cat of the bag with that picture?" I said shockingly.

"Obviously you didn't want to say anything about it so I just help cover-up. Bet your friend isn't going to be happy with everyone thinking that girl is me. But that doesn't mean you can't tell me so who was that?" She smirks a smile.

"Well I'm not ready to tell the world yet but she is my girlfriend." I smile widely and did a superhero pose.

Her eyes popped out, "So there is a girl that actually likes your puns!"

I feel like she is insulting me, "No! Everyone loves my furrtastic pun and she is meownifignit!"

"Just don't get too distracted you silly cat." Ladybug giggles before swinging away onto her yoyo. Again I feel like she insulted me.

At night
Marinette fell asleep in his arm. She drifted off to sleep a while ago but Chat wanted to finish the movie. Her face was partially buried in his chest under the blanket. He nimbly reaches the remote from the floor to not wake up Marinette. He didn't want to wake her, at least not yet.

He doesn't want to wake her but she can't just sleep on him. He has to go home. His ears slanted as he heard his princess let out a sigh. She isn't waking up yet.

With a frown of regret, he shook her, "M'lady I have to go."

She mumbles a response and pulls the blanket tighter to her.

"Don't make me carry you, princess." Chat purred close to her ear.

Marinette responded by wrapping her arms around his neck. Chat gave a mischievous smirk as he carries Marinette bridal-style. She starts giggling in his chest. She was always awake.

He gently laid her down on her mattress, "Princess I said  don't make me carry you."

"Oh, and what are you going to do? Hiss at me, kitty cat," She grins widely.

Chat smile was as wide as a Chesire cat, "Was that threat with a pun?" He leans toward Marinette, to slightly hover her. He places his arms by her arms so she wouldn't escape. He closes the gap between them. Marinette pushes her self back until her back was on the headboard of her bed. "You do not know what you did my princess." His voice growled like a predator.

"Chat don't make me bring out the spra.." Chat press her lips to his to a gentle kiss. It was smooth and careful. They fitted like a puzzle that never wants to break apart. He cupped her cheek to pull her closer and press harder.

Until he stopped the moment and Marinette looked all confused, "Stop looking at me weird." She starts to blush.

"You look beautiful when you're tired," Chat Noir complimented.

Marinette yawned and wrapped up in her blanket, "bye chat." Then points at his ring.

He blankly looked at his ring, it was one paw left, "Shoot... Goodbye, my princess, I'll see you tomorrow."
