#tho late

“How can you not have had milk and cookies?” Marinette asked Cat Noir, who was visiting her late one afternoon. It was an ordinary Sunday, and he just wanted a friend to hang out with. Marinette was working on some designs for a personal project when she was surprised by a knock on her window.

The Black clad hero shrugged. “I’m not allowed much in sweets at home, so I've never had the chance to have something like that. I AM curious tho.”

“You know what they say about curiosity and kittens, right?” Marinette said with a smile.

“Yes, but the rest of it goes that satisfaction will bring it back.” He said following her lead on the pun.

“Well Cat Noir, I’m about to change that for you. Be right back.” She climbed back into her room, leaving one half of Paris’s heroic team on her balcony.

He had nothing better to do that day, Adrien’s schedule was completely empty that day, and rather than spend all day cooped up in his room he decided to make a break for it and visit Marinette. It had only been a few weeks since he had been her body guard on request of Ladybug, whom was apparently busy at the moment to answer any calls, so he wanted to kill some time while doing a impromptu patrol.

She came back up with a plate of chocolate chip cookies and a tall glass of milk, which she placed on the table in front of him.

“OK so first you take the cookie and you dip it in the milk.” She said, doing as she was explaining. She held it in the milk for a few seconds.

“Won’t that make the cookie soggy tho?” he asked, watching as she pulled the cookie out of the milk and letting the excess drip back into the glass, before taking a healthy bite of the cookie.

“Yes, but in a good way. It tastes real good this way, and is great with real crispy cookies.” Marinette replied after swallowing her bite.

Curious about this treat, Cat Noir repeated what she had done. He took the cookie and held it in the milk, then ate the cookie. What he found in this treat was a fantastic meal. He hadn’t had cookies since before he lost his mother, and never had a cookie DIPPED in milk before. He thought that milk was just a drink you had along side them. This was eye opening.

“Wow, Princess, you sure know how to satisfy a cat don’t you! This is great!” He said with his mouth full. He swallowed the bite then apologized. Marinette giggled at his gusto. 

“I’m glad I could introduce you to it. My dad loves to dip pastries in it himself.”

“You can dip other deserts in milk too??” Cat Noir hollered, stirring another giggle from Marinette.
