~1 Year Ago~

"Rise and shine Purrincess." Marinette smiled at the familiar voice of her partner as she opened her eyes to be met with his adorably green ones. He pushed the curtains aside allowing the light to seep into her room and temporarily blind her. "Adrien! What have I said about opening the curtains!"
"It's the only way to wake you up."
Marinette grumbled and yawned as she slid off the bed only to be lifted up by a pair of strong arms. She squealed as Adrien carried her (bridal style) into the kitchen and placed her at the dining table.
"What's this?" In front of her, the table was adorned with a variety of flowers in the old vase her mother had given her as a parting gift when she'd moved out to live with him.

"Only the best for my Princess." he grinned as he placed a plate of waffles, bacon and eggs in front of her and a cup of coffee with the foam decorated in a cute little heart. "Or have you forgotten what today is?"

She grinned as she pulled herself up and have him a quick peck. "Let me go and get your gift Mon Minou."

She disappeared into a room and was back a second layer with a wrapped up gift, the wrapping paper being black and the ribbon green. "Ooh a lovely gift handcrafted by my just as lovely girlfriend."

She handed the gift to him with a smirk and he opened it to reveal a fluffy hat with cat ears identical to the scarf she'd given him those years ago when they were still in Dupont. "Aww Bugaboo! You shouldn't have!"

"You've literally been begging me to complete the set. Next is gloves."

He placed the gift on the table and pulled her into a warm hug. "Joyeux anniversaire Marinette."
"Joyeux anniversaire Kitty."

"This is totally rad Marinette!"
Marinette beamed as she watched the rockstar try out another if her works for him, this time it being a hat with music notes plastered all over it.

"Miss Dupain-Cheng, someone is here to see you." Penny called out from the door as she then stepped aside to reveal Adrien holding up a brown bag.

She ran over to him and gave him a quick peck on the cheek, "Adrien! Do you want something?"

"Wanna go for a little break?"

Marinette looked at the rockstar in the other side of the room for permission and he nodded. She beamed and rushed out with Adrien next to her.

"So I visited your parents' bakery and grabbed a few pastries for us."

"Yum."

"And of course, some cheese and cookies for Tikki and Plagg."

At the mention of his name, Plagg came soaring out of his chosen's pocket and as if in cue, so did Tikki.

"Plagg! You should know by now that it's dangerous to come out in public!"

"But sugar cube, there's literally no one here but us!"

The park was empty and if this were a cartoon, you would see a tumbleweed flying through.

Marinette smiled at the kwamis' banter. They were too adorable for their own good! "So shall we?"

"Ladies first."

~Present~

"No." Marinette responded a little too quickly as she wiped her mouth and flushed the toilet, "I'm just feeling a bit sick."
