A/n: Hey guys, I just wanted to let you guys know this will be the last chapter of "a guardian angel in black". This story was supposed to be a one-shot and due to popular demand I made more chapters and I just feel like I've been stretching the story too much. I do have other miraculous ladybug story ideas but this story is coming to an end. Anyways there's a blizzard outside, I got some time to spare, might as well write the final chapter. This was requested by Fanfict R Us all the way back in the summer! So Fanfict R Us, your request is getting filled. Thank you to Darkside of the moonlight, Momijifan Low-Ki, arris karis, Queenbooklover, pinksakura271, obsidiandragon182005, Guest and SilverStarWaters for reviewing in the last chapter.
Pinksakura271- Your cat puns where and always will be clawsome :3. Also if you're wondering about my psat scores apparently my scores were slightly above average.
I would have responded to more but you guys just really wanna talk about the clowns, haha. Anyways I own nothing.
Marinette hung the last of the christmas decorations she was using for her room up.
"There, I'm done," Marinette said with a smile as she examined her work. It wasn't much, just a mini put together Christmas tree but she kept forgetting to put it up and felt that it was now or never since it was Christmas eve.
"Aren't you forgetting something?" Tikki asked.
"What?"
Tikki flew over to Marinettes desk and picked up the mistletoe, "Oh that's right! I almost forgot," Marinette said taking the plant from her kwami, "But where should I put it…"
Marinette's thoughts were interrupted by a knocking on her trapdoor. She placed the mistletoe back on the desk and unlocked the trap door to let her guest in.
"Funny, I though cats hated the cold," Marinette teased as a snow covered and shivering Chat Noir entered her room.
"Normally we do but if it's for you princess then I'd do anything," Chat responded smoothly as he entered the warmness of Marinette's room.
"What are you doing out anyways? It's Christmas eve, shouldn't you be with your family."
Chat frowned. The reason he came to see Marinette was because he didn't want to be alone on Christmas eve. His mother...wasn't around anymore and his father didn't have time for Christmas which to Adrien/Chat translated to, "I don't have time for you."
Marinette noticed Chats sudden mood change, "Is everything alright?" She asked in a concerned voice.
The hero snapped out of his daze and put on his usual smirk. Last thing he wanted to do was worry his princess, and on Christmas no less, "Everythings fine Purrincess, and the reason I wanted to visit you was because I thought you'd need some company. After all it's Christmas eve, your parents must be pretty busy baking fruit cakes and what not."
"Actually my parents don't bake fruit cakes, they just bake holiday cookies, but they are pretty busy. Infact both are out making deliveries. They should be back by 8:30," Marinette explained.
Chat glanced at the clock, "It's 7:30 so it looks like you're stuck with me for an hour."
Marinette frowned this time. Chat should be having fun in his civilian form. Not keep her company, "You really don't have to do-"
"Don't even say it Purrincess. No one deserves to be alone on Christmas eve," Chat stated. Despite his grin he knew what it was like to be alone on Christmas eve and he cared too much about Marinette to go through that, so she was stuck with him whether she liked it or not.
Even though it made her feel bad having him here she still smiled gratefully at him. That's when she remembered something.
"I almost forgot!" She exclaimed running over to her desk. Chat noticed two wrapped boxes on the desk, she picked one of them up and gave it to Chat.
"Merry Christmas," She said.
Chat took the gift and unwrapped it. Inside was a black scarf to match his suit and on the end of the scarf was a green paw print that was the same shade of his eyes.
"Do you like it? It took me a long time to make but if you don't I can make you something else," Marinette offered.
"Like it? I love it! Thank you Purrincess," Chat said. The fact that his Princess went out of her way to make him a scarf or in general get him a Christmas present meant a lot. That's when he remembered the other present on the desk. He couldn't help but wonder who else she had gone out of the way to most likely make a present for"Out of curiosity though, who is that over gift for?"
Marinette followed his gaze to see that it fell on a gift on her desk wrapped in red wrapping paper and held together by a green ribbon.
"That's for a friend of mine named Adrien. I care about him alot and just finished it last night. I planned on giving it to him next time I saw him."
Chat smiled. He always said Marinette was a good friend but that was a lie, she was more than a good friend and being with her on christmas eve made him start to think that maybe she was more than a friend.
Due to having heightening abilities including heightened smell Chat was able to smell something that wasn't there before and looked up.
"Uh..Princess," Chat said pointing up.
Marinette and her eyes widened when she saw the mistletoe hanging above them.
'What the heck! How did that get there! I thought I left that on my desk!'
Out of the corner out her eye Marinette saw a flash of red and black. That's when it clicked.
'Tikki!'
She could already imagine said kwami giggling to herself right now. Tikki was usually really sweet but even she had a prankster inside of her.
Marinette looked back at Chat who looked like he didn't know what to do.
"Should we?" Marinette asked.
"I think so but only if you're okay with it," Chat responded, thankful that his mask hid his blush.
Marinette ran through the options in her head. Should she kiss him? Should she not kiss him? Did she want to kiss?
'well...I suppose one little kiss wouldn't hurt.'
Chat watched as Marinette nodded her head yes. He nervously placed his arms around her waist and Marinette wrapped her arms around his shoulders. Chat slowly leaned towards Marinette. He could feel his cheeks become warm and form a blush while he felt like he could hear his heartbeat speed up.
Marinette leaned towards Chat and closed the gap between them. He couldn't believe she was kissing Chat Noir. She had kissed him before but that was as Ladybug and she only did it to turn him back to normal. Right now though she could feel electricity, it felt as though her body was getting an electric pulse every second the kiss lasted.
When they finally separated Marinette smiled and looked away shyly. Despite his previous nervousness Chat grinned his usual grin. He was about to go in for another kiss when the two heard the bell from the bakery open.
"Looks like I better take my leave. Farewell my purrincess," He said as he made his way towards the trap door.
"Okay, good-bye and Merry Christmas," Marinette called after him.
With that Chat was gone. Not long after Tikki came out of hiding giggling, "Maybe I should play match maker more often," Tikki giggled.
"Wh-what are you suggesting?" Marinette asked.
"You're in love with Chat Noir," Tikki said in a slightly teasing tone.
"Am not," Marinette denied with a huff as she crossed her arms.
"Marinette."
"Okay, okay….Maybe a little."
Once Chat got home he leapt into the bedroom window he left open and de-transformed.
"What happened to you being in love with ladybug?" Plagg asked as he was given a piece of camembert.
Adrien wasn't sure to be honest. When did he stop loving ladybug and fall in love with Marinette. Was it because Ladybug always turned away his advances?
"I'm not really sure. I think maybe I was in love with Marinette all along and just didn't know it until just now."
"You humans are weird, you just can never make up your minds," Plagg said as he ate his cheese.
Adrien let out a small laugh. Despite being all alone this Christmas, he felt like he did when his mom was still around and to make things better he received the best gift of all. Marinette.
A/n: I already know people are gonna ask me to make more chapters but no, I'm done.
