His Mute Princess

Chapter 5

This is personally my favorite story. Like I love it so much oml.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chat soon left after she had calmed down completely and fallen asleep. They had spent the entire time having conversation over croissants and hot chocolate. He learned a lot about her. He learned that she had moved from a small town south of France. She was part French, part Italian, and half Chinese. She was fluent in Chinese but didn't know much Italian aside from a few words. She loved designing and baking. She was very open towards Chat. Probably because she took a liking to him.

As he was heading back home, he passed by the fair. From the rooftop, he could see the cat plush he won for Marinette. She dropped it when she was taken by The Carni.

He went down and retrieved it. When he got back home, his transformation wore off. "Feed meeeee," groaned the kwami, dramatically falling on the couch. Adrien rolled his eyes and gave him a piece of camembert. The kwami happily munched away at his treat.

Adrien placed the plush on the couch and smiled. He would give it to her the next day as Chat.

"Why'd you win it for her?" Plagg asked. 

"She wanted it so I wanted to give her something, you know, as a friend."

Plagg eyed Adrien for 10 seconds before looking away, "Whatever you say, kid."

Marinette woke up the next day to many texts from Alya.

Alya: Omg girl are you ok?

Alya: I couldn't find you!

Alya: I was so worried.

Alya: Where were you?

Marinette picked up her phone and replied back to all of her friend's questions. She told her she tried to run off but was taken by the akuma. She told her that Ladybug freed them all and she was able to escape.

Alya of course fangirled at that. Her bestfriend had gotten face to face with her idol.

At this point Marinette hesitated a little. She wasn't sure if she was ready for Alya's spamming. She decided to continue the story anyways. She told her about Chat. How he took her home and stayed with her.

The auburn haired girl freaked out at this. She demanded details and every word they exchanged. Marinette cringed a little. Nothing had happened and Alya was making a big deal.

Alya: Paris's superhero stayed with you until you fell asleep!

Ok maybe it was a big deal and Alya wasn't exaggerating. Marinette's face almost turned completely red when everything processed in her head. She had hugged him continuously and cried in front of him. She had asked him to stay with her in her room.

She couldn't blame Alya for thinking that something far from innocent happened.

She quickly dismissed her friend and texted her goodbye. She needed to help out in the bakery so that saved her. From that day anyways, she knew she would get an ear full the next day. She groaned at the thought.

The rest of the day went by normally and nightfall came soon. Chat had finished patrol and managed to escape unharmed by Ladybug's questions as to why he had a cat plush and who the girl he was with was. He made his way over to Marinette's house and eagerly knocked on the window.

She opened the window and smiled warmly at him. It took his breath away. He went inside, keeping the plush hidden behind him. Marinette noticed and looked at him puzzled. He took the plush out and stretched it towards her.

Marinette's eyes widened and she felt her face get hot. A similar scene played out in her head but she quickly dismissed it.

She stared shocked at Chat. "I saw you with it. If I knew any better, I'd say you've fallen for my charm," he winked with a grin. Marinette shakily took the plush from him and hid her face in the plush. Her face was red as a tomato and she didn't want Chat to see.

He chucked, "I'm just messing with you princess." She turned around and placed the plush on top of her bed. She turned back to him and hugged him. He blushed a little and hugged back.

She pulled back and dragged him to her couch by his hand. She sat down and pulled him down. He looked at her confused and flustered. She let go of his hand and opened a small box next to the couch.

She pulled out movies and showed them to him. "You want me to stay and watch a movie with you?"

She nodded. "Ok," he smiled. I'll go make some popcorn. He nodded and she got up and went downstairs.

She came back a couple of minutes later with a bowl full of popcorn. She sat down and placed the bowl in between them. Chat chose a comedy. He would've chosen horror but Marinette seemed like the type to scare easily. He laughed slightly at the thought.

She would probably jump at every other scene and hold on to him. Maybe a horror movie wouldn't be bad. He shook the thought away and started the comedy.

Throughout most of the movie he noticed Marinette jerk up. She didn't make any noise when laughing and it was a peculiar way to laugh, but he still thought it was a cute way to laugh. She didn't need to make a noise to be so expressive. It was all in her expression and her eyes.

By the time the movie ended it was late. They had finished the entire bowl on popcorn and Marinette quickly went downstairs to put it away before Chat left.

She went back upstairs and practically threw herself on to him. She hugged him tightly and smiled up at him. He fell back a small step in surprise. He smiled and hugged her back.

He pulled away and headed to the window. He climbed out and Marinette reached out to grab his arm and she pulled him back in slightly. He turned to her and she stood on her toes and gave him a kiss on the cheek. She missed, however, and her lips brushed lightly against his. She pulled away and smiled, not realizing what she had done.

Chat turned red and realized he was completely and utterly screwed.
