[This chapter is smut/lemon, meaning sexual content, so if you're not comfortable with that, don't read. If you're just jumping in, the fluff chapters have to be read in order, the lemon chapters are a little more flexible. I'm sorry if this isn't that great, I'm not as big on marichat as I am on the other ships, so I wasn't incredibly motivated. Give me notes in the comments, let me know what you think I could do better.]
Marinette's POV:
Another hard day at school, the workload was starting to crack me down, I could barely get a moment to breathe between classes, being Ladybug, my relationship with Adrien, working in the bakery, and just my entire life in general. When I finally got home, the first thing I did was change into pajamas and plop right down in my bed. I must have been comfortable because when I blinked, it was 11:30 PM. "Ugh dammit," I grunted, I still had homework I hadn't even started on. I dragged myself out of bed to get to work, also realizing I hadn't eaten since lunch and I felt famished.
****
About half an hour went by, I was almost done with my homework, just a few more lines. I had gotten a snack from the bakery downstairs, it was almost time for me to relax.
*tap, tap, tap*
What the hell now?
I got up to go look at who was tapping on the window. Cat Noir. Adrien and I have been together for more than a year and we've known each other's identities just as long. I was happy to see my boyfriend, but at the same time, I could've punched his lights out for disrupting me at the moment. I slid open the window, "What?" I yawned.
"That's it?" he teased. "No, 'hi baby,' or 'it's good to see you?' "
"Sorry," I smiled weakly. "It is good to see you, I'm just a little sleepy," I kissed him on the cheek and pulled him inside.
"I could tell," he laughed, "I came over earlier, but you must have been asleep. You didn't move at all."
Could he see my bed from the window? "W-what time did you come over?!" I asked, surprised that I hadn't heard him.
"Five thirty-ish?" he guessed.
"Ugh, I'm sorry," I buried my face in my hands, "I must've been out like a light."
"It's okay, princess," Cat Noir pulled me into a hug. "I can tell you've been under a lot of pressure."
Speaking of stress, I hadn't finished my work. "I only have a few more homework questions left," I explained, pulling away from him. "So I should finish it before I get distracted." Something about that last part made Cat Noir chuckle. Smug bastard, he knew exactly what would happen if I focused on him for too long and I wasn't going to let it happen. I sat down at my desk, trying to refocus.
I worked out one question before Cat Noir put his hands on my shoulders, massaging them gently. Damn him for knowing my weakness, my back was so tense and his touch was magic. I let out a sigh, his hands felt amazing, I had to pause what I was doing. My mind clouded, I tried to get back to my homework, just one more question, then I'm done. Cat Noir leaned in, nuzzling my face.
"Mmph, Cat Noir," I whispered, somewhat annoyed. "I'm almost done here, okay?"
"I can tell you need a massage," he whispered. "Just take a break."
