She made him feel like a hero

So I'm posting some more art.

Marichat Prompt:

What if Marinette decides to randomly try playing the "Pick a Stick" game with Chat?

She'd played it with Alya and Nino before, honestly she enjoyed it, but there was only so much three people, with two of them in a relationship, can do. As it turned out, Alya was the most devilish one whenever she got the stick with the 'crown' symbol on it. The one who suffered most was Nino, she only spared her best friend for the most part because Adrien hadn't been there, off on another photoshoot, so there was no boy she could use to really pair up with Marinette to do all sorts of embarrassing stuff.

Chat Noir had been running on rooftops when he spotted the light on the balcony, the familiar little balcony he had been to before.

A few more times since their rare-not-so-rare visits started. Occasionally, if he didn't use his cataclysm in a akuma fight and had time to spare, he would drop by to Marinette's, he would get cookies often or other baked goods and happily offer his services whenever she did homework (he was good at physics and he knew she had a bit of a problem with it - so why not help his secret classmate?) or, a recent addition to their fresh friendship - love advice.

Advice that was in the form of Chat Noir sitting on the floor or chair in her room, listening to her heart troubles, suspiciously being kept vague, especially a certain crushes name, with him offering words of hissdom (she found that one particularly catatrophic) he got from watching anime or reading manga.

While they may not work on his lady, they may help Marinette in her quest for love.

On one of his visits, he'd seen her sitting on her bed through her window and lightly knocked on the hatch, waiting patiently until she opened it to let him in.

She looked...curious?

He bowed, "Princess," his customary greeting went unanswered as a jar was suddenly thrust into his face. His eyebrow rose in question as he inspected it, "Uh... is this something of a confession? Did you give this to your crush? Are there love letters inside?" he peeked through the glass, seeing long, slightly distorted shapes.

Marinette smiled, "Nope, it's the game "Pick a Stick"."

His eyebrow remained raised high, "Pick a Cat?"

Marinette deadpanned, "Stick"

Chat Noir crossed his arms, "Yeah, that's what I said."

Marinette observed him quietly, "...Have you...never played it before?" She remembered playing it with her friends when she was little...

There was something uncomfortable in Chat's body posture, an unsettling emotion in his eyes and Marinette felt a stab of guilt eat at her heart, "Want to...play it with me kitty?"

Almost immediately, the hero's cat ears perked up straight and he excitedly bounced on her bed, "It would be meow purrleasure, princess!"

Marinette smiled and placed the open jar in the middle of her bed, "Alright, first we each have to take out a stick. If I get for example a stick with a crown on it, I get to control the rules of the game and give commands to people with a number I think of. If you pick the stick with the number 3 on it, I can say number 3 should do a handstand, and you would have to do it," Chat nodded attentively. Marinette smiled sheepishly, "Um, I guess it's better with more people, since it's more fun if you don't know the number a person has so..."

Chat smiled warmly, "Even if it is, I'm happy I'm here with you,"

Marinette felt a weird sensation in her chest, "Thanks Chat, I'm glad you're here too,"

Both smiled at each-other, before their hands moved to reach for a random stick in the jar.
