Day 1: Designing/Sewing

I don't know where this came from...Reverse Crush AU. Cliche? I know, and I really don't care.


Nothing can match her when she's like this, the fiery passion in her eyes, the stability of her hand and the sheer concentration of her's, directed on her current object of attention. He shouldn't be staring at her this way, but he knew very well Ithat he couldn't keep his eyes away for long.

Their evenings doesn't usually end up like this, most of the times, there is gossiping, eating and well, general hanging out. At least as much general it can be with a superhero hanging out with a civilian. Even if she was a civilian, she was not ordinary, not at all.

She was kind, with her soft bluebell eyes and equally soft behaviour, winning hearts of all those around her (yeah well, maybe except Chloe)

But she was also sassy, and could be really savage when she wanted to be. He had handled that as Chat Noir, but not so much as Adrien. She didn't know his civilian side that well, he was too shy to speak to her like a normal, functioning, human being anyway. They were a few of many qualities that made her so truly her, that she became incomparable.

Currently his princess was working on a design of hers, whose idea she had suddenly got mid-conversation. Her first reaction was jumping towards her desk, grabbing the first pencil she saw as she took her sketchbook and gliding her hand through the page, trying to get the perfect strokes for her new creation. A few strands of her pretty raven hair came in the way, the light coming from the window illuminated her face beautifully, highlighting her shiny eyes, the angle of her nose, and, her slightly-parted, pink, glossy lips.

Getting her attention filled him with joy, but being able to watch her like this, so engrossed in her designing that she didn't care about his presence, it was an entirely different feeling, it made him feel fuzzy inside, like fondness and affection surrounding his heart.

A soft, contented sigh left his lips, that seemingly brought Marinette out of her trance. She blinked a couple times, and her eyes quickly settled gazing at his green orbs. He perked up a bit, at the sudden change of demeanor. It was almost like she finally realised his existence that she had forgotten in the last few moments.

"This cat is not offended in the least, go on princess, keep working on your creation," he got up quickly, but his posture remained calm and friendly."and don't forget to tell me about it later. Goodnight Princess, your knight finally takes his leave." He had looked back and said, after which he leaped from her balcony, leaving Marinette in the company of her designs and ideas, and of course, with a huge grin at being understood.
