Reader discretion is advised – Mild Sexual Scenes are included in the beginning of the chapter

It was a mixture of elements, he was the fire and she was the ice. As Chat's lips molded with Marinette's, liquid fire coursed through their bodies, a wanton feeling pooling in the pit of Chat's stomach. His hands traveled back to her hips, kneading the hourglass figure of hers.

Running out of air, Marinette pulled away from Chat's lips and gasped for air, but Chat didn't leave her feeling too cold, running his tongue and kisses down her jawline, past her earlobe and down her neck. His tongue was like fire on her skin, his touch tantalizing. The kisses became small nibbles at some point and Marinette's voice was at small gasps and increasing moans.

"Marinette." Chat's voice was like growl in his chest that strangely aroused Marinette.

"Y-Yes?" She asked in between gasps as he nibbled on her collarbone.

"I'm sorry." His nibbles decreased into small kisses and the intensity of the kisses decreased as he slowly pulled away. He looked up at his princess – she was out of breath and her face was flushed a beautiful pink.

Guilt suddenly raced through his nerves as he realize what he did. "I shouldn't have done that..." He murmured to himself.

Just before Chat could beat himself up about it, Marinette cupped his cheeks, lifting his face up to her and planted a soft kiss on his lips.

"Don't worry about it."

Chat blinked several times. "You're not mad at me?"

A giggle slipped out of Marinette's lip and Chat thought it was the most beautiful sound he had ever heard. "Why would I be mad at you, my silly kitty?" She rubbed her nose against his and he smiled, a purr rising from his chest.

Chat grabbed her by the hips and brought her to sit down on the chaise before he began to crawl over her. "Then I want to know Marinette. I want... I want more of you." Marinette blushed at his words but kept the eye contact he provided. "Is that okay?" He asked, hovering over her.

"It's okay." She spoke softly.

Chat couldn't help the grin the grin that adorned his face. He was happy he was able to indulge in something he likes. He leaned down and peppered kisses all over Marinette's face.

"But we will do that another day." He muttered close to her ear, sending a shiver through her. He smirked and he sat beside her, pulling her close to him. "How are you feline? Better, I would hope." He winked.

Marinette rolled her eyes at his pun, nodding. "Yes, I do feel much better." A light bulb went off in Marinette's head. "I'm feeling paw-some, actually."

Chat opened his mouth to reply but stopped to smirk. "My princess has a very good sense of humor." Chat complemented and Marinette smiled.

The rest of the night was mostly Chat listening to Marinette's day, loving how she brought a light to his darkness. He never noticed how truly radiant she was as he watched her eyes sparkled when she talked about her love for fashion design and how she one day aspired to be a famous fashion designer.

Chat's miraculous beeped and they were both upset that he had to go. He stood and finally took the time to look around her room.

The first time he was here, he didn't get to look around since he was only there to check on a sick Marinette and now, when all he wanted to do is be held by her. Even though there was only a dim light, he could see everything clearly with his cat night vision.

One thing that got his attention was the large amount of photos she had hanging around the room. He thought there were designs but the closer he looked, there was a boy in them. A boy who looked strangely familiar.

Chat then realized it was him, just he normal counterpart. His eyes searched for all the other pictures hanging about the room, realizing that every photograph was a piece from the cover of a magazine or a small poster of him.

"You like this kid?" He teased, looking back at her. He was expecting a retort but when he looked back at her, she had a blush on her face. His eyes widened and he came closer to her. "Marinette, do you really like that kid? I really have to know."

She gaped momentarily. "I, uh, m-maybe?" She tried to avert her gaze and Chat remained frozen for a second, before he grabbed her chin and made her look at him, leaning down and giving Marinette a soft kiss on the lips.

"Good night my princess." He whispered.

Marinette's mind was swept from the pictures of Adrien to his gentle kiss.

"Good night, kitty." She replied back through a whisper. He waved a goodbye with his fingers before he disappeared through the hatch of her terrace and into the night.

Marinette heard a small tinkle of a giggle come from behind her.

"Well Marinette? Chat needs to know if you really like Adrien." There was a teasing smile on the small kwami's lips.

Marinette flailed her arms around, so many emotions going through her in one go.

Marinette was more than surprised that they shared a hot kiss, but even more surprised that he broke down in front of her. His feet had barely touched her bedroom floor and his arms were holding her, breathing her in. But then her mind started to wander about how he held her, how he leaned into her desperately and how the desperation turned into the need for contact and more warmth.

"I like Adrien, but Chat Noir, he... He's really something else." She let out a dreamy sigh by accident and Tikki laughed.

"Marinette, you've managed to make him like both sides of you!" She smiled and Marinette gasped, not having realized that before.

"But Tikki, I've rejected him as Ladybug." Marinette groaned and trudged to her bed, throwing herself on it.

Tikki followed, laying on Marinette's pillow. "I'm sure Chat hasn't given up on Ladybug. You can't get over someone that quickly." Tikki mused. "Have you gotten over Adrien?"

"Oh my god Tikki, I made out with Chat Noir and Adrien - I'm so sorry I cheated on you, Adrien!" Marinette rolled in her bed and eventually fell asleep in her bed, emotionally distraught yet satisfied.

While Adrien laid in his bed that night, he couldn't stop thinking of Marinette. He broke down before her and unintentionally started to feel her up and then ended up making out with her. He was ashamed, a lot more now as Adrien rather than as Chat Noir. Yet Marinette didn't get mad when he knocked on her door past midnight, nor did she push him away when they kissed. He then began to think about all the pictures she had of him.

"It could possibly be that she only admires you as a model." Plagg said through a full mouth of Camembert. Adrien shook his head.

"Marinette isn't that dense, Plagg. She doesn't seem like the type of girl who would just like someone based off of their appearance."

"Meh, maybe if you get Marinette to like you as Adrien, then she could probably come to like both sides of you." Plagg continued to munch on his cheese. "All yah gotta do is to tell her."

Adrien sighed, lying on his back and looking up at his ceiling. "It's not that easy, Plagg."

Plagg shrugged. "Suit yourself."

The next day, Alya and Nino were standing by the front doors of the school, hovering over Alya's phone as Marinette came up the steps of the school.

"Good morning?" Marinette asked as she stood in front of the two oblivious love birds. When they did look up, Alya gasped and grabbed her best friend by the shoulder.

"You didn't happen to have had a late night visitor last night, did you Marinette?" Alya asks suggestively, leaning into her.

Marinette laughed. "What are you talking about?" She asked, looking of the two of them. Alya and Nino exchanged looks before Nino showed Marinette's his phone.

It was a video of Chat Noir standing in Marinette's terrace for a while, before jumping away into the distance.

"What? The Chat Noir was standing on my roof last night?" Marinette grabbed the phone, looking at the video in astonishment.

"See, I told you she wouldn't have known." Nino laughed and Alya groaned.

"I thought that maybe Marinette was Chat Noir's secret girlfriend and you would tell us the secret to who is behind the mask." Alya explained.

"E-Eh? Chat Noir's girlfriend?"

Adrien was just stepping out of his car when he heard the words. He looked towards the front door, seeing Marinette fumbling for words, a humored Alya and Nino standing in front of her. Adrien slipped a quick goodbye to Natalie before running towards the front door, trying to hear the scoop.

"Yo Adrien!" Nino waved.

Adrien smiled. "Good morning. I heard something about Chat Noir?" Adrien watched Marinette's back as she walked away, with the sway of her hips and he could remember the way she pressed against him that night.

"Yeah, it seems like you're gonna have to give up on Marinette, bro. Seems like Chat beat ya to it." Adrien choked on the juice he had, coughing as he saw the video.

"Who took this?" Adrien said between coughs.

"I did. I was taking a walk because I couldn't sleep and I noticed Chat Noir leaving Marinette's terrace. I showed the video to Alya and she quickly assumed that Chat was visiting Marinette last night." Adrien watched the video again, looking up at Nino.

"And what did Mari say?"

Nino cocked an eyebrow at the way Adrien called Marinette, taking note in his mind to tell Alya later."She was just as surprised as Alya was."

Adrien gave a sigh of relief and Nino chuckled. "What? You afraid that the black cat is gonna steal your girl?" Nino smirked and Adrien rolled his eyes.

"Pft, like that cat could steal her away." Technically, his alter ego did beat him to it.

"Oh, so you admit that she's your girl?" Nino's smirk widened and a blush started crawling up Adrien's neck.

"I-I didn't say that! Nino!" Adrien started to run after Nino, to silence him.

The first half of class went by like a breeze and it was now lunch hour. Nino insisted that Adrien come with him to lunch, so now the four sat at a lunch table, Alya and Nino on one side, hushed whispers between them while Marinette and Adrien sat beside each other, awkward.

"So, I heard Chat was at your house last night." Adrien spoke to Marinette, resulting on her choking on her sandwich.

"Marinette, are you okay?" Alya asked. Marinette took a long swig from her bottle of water, coughing a little.

"Y-Yeah, I-I'm fine!" Marinette waved her hand, which gave permission to Alya and Nino to go back to their hushed whispers.

Another silence filled the space between Marinette and Adrien. Adrien mentally cursed himself.

Where was the flirty side he had with Marinette a couple days ago? Adrien wanted to desperately talk to Marinette but he was drawing a blank. He cleared his throat, making Marinette glance over at him.

"Do you like Chat Noir?"

"He... He's cool, I-I guess." Adrien smiled a little.

"Cool? I mean, he saves Paris and you only think he's cool?"

Marinette let out a chuckle. "I wouldn't want to inflate his ego more than it already is."

"I'm paw-sitively sure that you already did inflate his ego." Adrien smirked and Marinette rolled her eyes.

"Color me unsurprised." She laughed.

"Come on, Mari, what kind of cat-itude is that?" He smirked and Marinette scoffed, looking at him unbelievably.

"Cat-itude? Really?"

Adrien laughed. "What? You know how cats are usually unimpressed with everything? That's you."

"Pft, remind me to pass that one to Chat next time I see him." There was a clearing of a throat and the two looked to the source. Alya and Nino had been watching their exchanges with joy.

"So, since when are you two so comfortable around each other?" Alya asked with an impish smile. This startled the both of them and a pink color ran through them. Alya and Nino laughed.

The lunch hour ended and Alya and Nino quickly rushed inside, leaving Marinette and Adrien walking back to the classroom in awkwardness again. When they arrived to the classroom, the two found Nino and Alya sitting together in the front row. The two were thoroughly confused as they smiled, almost devilishly.

"Alya? You're in my seat." Adrien stood in front of her as Marinette took her seat.

Alya looked up at Adrien. "Come on, I have something really important to tell Nino. Can't you sit in my seat for this class period?" Alya put her palms together, batting her eyes and pouting her lips.

"Just this period." Adrien repeated and Alya smiled.

"I'll miss you bro." Nino called to Adrien as if he was leaving together. Adrien rolled his eyes and went around Marinette and took Alya's seat, Marinette intentionally not looking over at him.

"Hope you don't mind."

"O-Oh, n-not at all!"

Professor Bustier came in, looking rather occupied on what was on her tablet. She was usually one to start class as soon as she came in, but it seemed that whatever she had on her tablet was more important than the whole class.

After a while, a cheer of giddiness came from her and the class looked at her curiously.

"All right class, I've got good news!" She said, putting her tablet down and stepping around her desk and leaning back to sit on it. "So I've been speaking with Mr. Damocles' regarding how we are learning regarding British literature and how great it would be to actually visit the land itself to get a proper grasp of the literature, and I've managed to do something I think you will all like. In two weeks, our class will be having a three day, two night stay in London!"

Surprise ran through the classroom, excitement bubbling up. "Permission slips will be handed out tomorrow, but in order to do this successfully, we need to start planning this now. The person who is sitting next to you will be your partner, whom you will tour London with and will be your roommate." Marinette smiled, having forgotten who was sitting beside her.

"Wow, London! Won't that be fun, Alya?" Marinette turned to face her friend, but met with Adrien's red face.

"L-Looks like we're gonna be roommates, huh?"
