One day, Chat Noir has to pull Marinette out of danger, but he takes her towards the akuma, instead of away... Marinette: “Chat, I am not questioning your sanity, but also, are you crazy?” Chat Noir: “Sorry, m’lady, but we have no time for protocol! We need to stop this akuma, like... five minutes ago!” Marinette: “... ... ... And... if I’m not your lady?” Chat Noir: “Then Marinette’s probably the best chance these people have!” Marinette: “Flattering~ Hey, Adrien?” Chat Noir: “Yeah?” Marinette: “Nothing~ Just checking.”

This fic is Here Comes The Warrior

[   Outtakes   ] Plagg: “Well, we know Adrienette is a lie—‘cause she’s just a friend!” Tikki: “We’re putting off cake for this?”

Chat Noir: “... ... ... Okay, yeah, that makes more sense....”

(   Post-Reveal   ) Plagg: “How’re things with your new girlfriend?” Adrien: “Ha hah, what’re you talking about, Plagg? She’s just a friend...” *hides his head in the shame blanket* Marinette: “... ... ...???” Plagg: “... Don’t take it personally, princess. He’s been saying it for so long, it’s going to be a tough habit to break.”

(   Balcony, as Usual   ) Chat Noir: *drops in* ... Marinette: ... “Hey...” ... “So... What brings you here?” Chat Noir: “Uh...” *turns into an awkward kittybun* “I heard something about a date...” Marinette: “...” Chat Noir: “No, wait—I didn’t mean like—that was supposed to be suave.” Marinette: “Really?” Chat Noir: “I was teasing...” Marinette: “... I believe you?” Chat Noir: “Can I start again?” Marinette: *shrugs* Chat Noir: “So... date...” (Strike two.) Marinette: “... I mean... I got tea and... croissants.” Chat Noir: “Am I invited?” (#nailed it) Marinette: “Did you bring flowers?” Chat Noir: ... *pulls out a please-don’t-beat-me-up-too-bad-for-teasing-you apology bouquet* “Yes. I came prepared!” *hopes to heaven she doesn’t read flowers*

Gabriel: *enters* “Son, you’re grounded!” *exits* Adrien: *transforms into Chat Noir* Hawk Moth: *enters* “And so are you!” Chat Noir: *tries to sneak a baton call* Hawk Moth: “Ahem”

EXACTLY!
