*Rewritten* Slightly more fluff, plus a bunch of changes in transition and grammar (hopefully). Cause after reading this again, I just had to rewrite it. if you read it, you can read it again if you like. Just for all of you, I made another chapter as a bonus! Love you all (cause love is nice)!

Hi guys. I think i finally have my fanfic mojo back! I've been so busy with school, there's barely anytime for me now to write stuff especially since I just changed majors. I now feel that if I can type this, I can finally go back to Moonlit Dance.

Also, for those that have yet to see or heard of it, I got a tumblr now. I will be posting stuff about my fanfics there, as well as some other stuffs like episode reviews and reblogs. It's under the same name as this, magi06rose, so check it out, message, and/or follow me.

Finally there are 2 interesting facts of this fic I want to share. First, about a quarter to a half portion of this fic was originally the epilogue chapter of Fated Promise, but I scrapped it out. It truly was originally going to be a reveal chapter, but I was blanked out on the progression to the reveal, and I had more interest writing about Adrien more. Second, I was planning on releasing it on Valentine's day, but I was too immersed in Digimon Cyber Sleuth and it felt more meaningful to release it after the holiday (and you'll see why later (; ).

Enjoy!

Snow starts to gently fall down from the sky as the stars illuminate the dark sky. A black clothed figure swiftly jumps across the Parisian roofs, trying his best not to gather attention from the citizens below him. His legs take him to a certain roof, where he let himself in through unhinging the trap door and into a pink room. Once he was in, he stealthily and slowly walks down the stairs, looking around to find its occupant with a big warm-looking blanket covering herself and her attention to the window in front of her. Though momentarily he was disappointed seeing the thing woefully hiding her lovely figure, he smiles at her presence and more so as he got closer to the girl, taking a peek from the sides of her peaceful smile.

"Hello Princess" Chat Noir says in a low voice close to her ear. As expected he thought, the girl was utterly surprised by his greeting, but didn't expect what happened afterwards.

"Wah!" she shouted, bringing her hand that made contact to the black-clothed figure's cheek. Hard. Chat Noir fell back to the chaise, tumbling down on the floor and hitting his head in the process.

"Meowch!" Chat cried out. This made the resident of the room, Marinette Dupain-Cheng, recognized who sneaked up on her and ran to the feline hero.

"Chat! I-I'm so sorry" she says, pulling him back up to the chaise with her before lightly hitting his arm.

"I told you to stop going behind me like that! -sigh- What am I going to do about you?" she pouts at him. Yet again, she gets surprised when she hears the cat-man chuckle to himself as he rubs his cheek before appropriately looking at her.

"My apologies Princess. It was not my intention to scare you like that, but I couldn't help myself at the mew-ment. You're just sim-purr-ly adora-paw-l" Chat says showing his cat-like grin. Marinette groans, reminding herself how she gave up who knows how long ago of the cat puns, until she lets out a small smile.

"Silly kitty cat." Marinette proceeded to kiss Chat's other cheek. "Wait here. I think I have some cooling pads in my first aid kit."

She gets off the chaise to look head to her desk while Chat smiles, de-transforming back to his civilian form, Adrien Agreste. Marinette and Adrien were Paris' greatest crime-fighting duo, Ladybug and Chat Noir, saving the city from their common foe, Hawkmoth and his Akumas. Despite the two never knew each other's identities, plus Marinette's one-sided crush on Adrien and Adrien as Chat liking Ladybug, they were partners and each other's best friends.

Eventually, they came to give more attention to each other's other identities. Barriers start to crumble when Adrien started to see Ladybug-like actions on his shy classmate and Marinette seeing beyond the mask of Chat Noir. The two feared of losing each other, thinking there were 4 people in a complicated love square and unable to take the risk of learning each other's secret double lives. However, when one fateful accident made each other learn the truth, the fear turned into relief and happiness.

"By the way, would you happen to have some cheese around here?" asks Plagg, Adrien's kwami, as he flew towards Marinette. Another small flying figure, Marinette's kwami Tikki, flies up next to Marinette with an annoyed look on her face.

"Plagg, you cheese loving glutton," Tikki groans, though Plagg still twirls at the thought of his favorite dairy product.

"Hehe- In the tupperware at my desk. Let me go open it for you first." Marinette replies giggling at Plagg's actions as Adrien smiling at her reaction.

Sure it shocked to two teens beyond human comprehension (or what it felt like to them), but nevertheless they took it slowly to explore the new feelings together with their kwamis, Tikki and Plagg. They continued the late night visits and talks during breaks in school. Marinette, as you can tell, started storing cheese inside her desk for Plagg while Adrien kept a tin of cookies on his coffee table. Their friends had yet to ask the change of attitudes around each other (though Alya and Nino had their suspicions here and there). Even when Adrien decided one day to ask Marinette on a real date and later having an actual boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, they decided to keep it a secret until they felt were surely ready.

Marinette sits back on the chaise next to Adrien with a cooling pad in her hands. "By the why, I thought you were busy tonight." She says, pulling out the wrapper as she looks back at her boyfriend. "Didn't you say you had a party tonight thanks to your dad?"

Adrien winced at the sudden contact when Marinette started applying to it, but eventually he felt soothed by the coolness and the touch of his lady's fingertips. As Marinette was retracting back her hand, Adrien laid his hand on hers to let it stay on his cheek after he kissed her palm, making the girl go red by the movement.

"Yeah. I was at the party a while ago until a certain kwami decided to sneak off to the food table." Adrien says, mock-glaring at his kwami who was about to eat his next slice of cheese with Tikki and her cookies in Marinette's desk.

"What?!" Plagg shouts out, seeing his charge's glare until he threw his cheese in the air and swallowing it in one gulp. Marinette couldn't help but giggle to herself again while Adrien lets out a tired groan before turning back to Marinette.

"Let's just say the party ended the exact opposite way the mayor intended it to have. Still, it did help me escape from a boring party and dancing with Chloe at just the right moment." Adrien then let go of Marinette's hand and embraces her in arms, nuzzling on her hair. "So I had more time than expected, and I really wanted to see you since we barely had much time together because of my father's schedule. Please forgive this poor cold cat, who only wishes to see his Princess on this fine winter night?"

Marinette giggles, the sound reverberating throughout Adrien's body making the boy nuzzle deeper in joy and comfort. She thinks for a minute before lifting her head to look at Adrien's emerald eyes.

"Mmmn... No."

"No?" Adrien's face turns confused.

"No." Marinette repeats with a smile.

"Any reason why?" Adrien asks.

"Well, not only did you scare me chaton,and get yourself slapped in the process, you also took me away from my latest design project," Adrien looks around to room to see a very detailed jacket with pins on a mannequin, "which luckily I'm almost finished with, but still, you know how much attention I put into my designs."

Adrien nervously chuckles at the last statement. He, and anyone that knew Marinette and her designing passion, knew the hard way what happens when you take the designer away from her projects. Let's just say it's not a pretty sight, and Adrien, ironically, was lucky to be let off with just a taste of it. Adrien watches his girlfriend release herself from the embrace, missing the warmth for the moment, and moves his head to see her lie on the chaise.

"Don't you think you're getting back home anytime soon. You can apologize by helping me out with any other alterations I need for the jacket." Marinette then opens her arms towards the boy. "But for now, come here and let me pet you mon minou."

Smiling at the gesture, Adrien lies down next to his lady, head fit right under her chin and carefully shifting his weight so his body doesn't crush Marinette's petite body. Both entangled their arms and legs into the warmth provided by each other and the blanket, dozing away in comfort. A gentle silence accompanies the room as time passes, along with soft purrs once in a while from Adrien as Marinette continuously switches between petting his hair and scratching the area right above his visible ear.

"This is nice..." Adrien lazily says. "If only it would be like this everyday. We really needed this, especially you Mari. You've been pushing yourself too hard these last few weeks."

"Mn. I know, but you know how much of a struggle it is to juggle this kind of life. With the akumas, school, Chloe... not to mention the additional holiday rush in the bakery." Marinette slightly pulls back to look at Adrien.

"I'm glad we get to do this as well. You seem tired, and not just from today. Have you been eating properly? You know how much my parents are worried about your body." Since learning each other's identities and getting together, Adrien started to come over the bakery more often in the daytime. Both Sabine and Tom warmly welcomed him each time he came over, and made sure he get something to eat before leaving. One day, Sabine mentions to Marinette how worried she was seeing how thin Adrien looked once he left when Marinette asked, and told this to Adrien the following night he came.

"Hehe- don't worry princess. Your prince here is fit and healthy; otherwise, how am I suppose to protect you when we're out there." Adrien nuzzles back into Marinette's neck. "It's true that there has been more modeling sessions and events since it's almost spring, but I'm watching myself. Plus, your parent's cooking is amazing. I'm always full and content each time I leave, along with an extra snack from your dad when I need it later."

Marinette lets out a sigh. "That's good, but I feel they go overboard sometimes."

"You worry too much. I really like them, and I can see how much they care from the way they love you." Adrien says. Marinette felt she heard a bit of sadness in his tone, prompting her to hold him closer.

"They also like you too. We'll always welcome you; you have a home here." Adrien pauses before gently squeezing her and moving up to her eye level.

"Thank you Marinette" he says as he moves to lay a hand on her cheek. "You know, I wouldn't be surprised if they already knew our relationship once we tell them." Marinette giggles at this.

"Hehe- probably. I can see my mom getting close to the truth, and then she'll most likely tell my dad once she's sure." Marinette moves her hand to lie on top of Adrien's. "Soon. We'll have to tell them soon huh?"

"Yeah. Plus Nino and Alya, and everyone at school." Adrien smiles at the moment before dropping it. "Maybe my dad as well, but he won't be back anytime soon because he told me he had some business somewhere before the party." Everyone in class knew of Adrien's strained relationship with his father. It may be the hardest challenge for them confronting the ever-busy Gabriel Agreste.

"I'm here." Marinette says, squeezing his hand for future strength.

"And I'm here as well" he states back. They looks deeply into each other's eyes, which were full of a newfound determination whether it's from being next her partner or forever knowing nothing can stop them side by side.

"We'll do it together." Adrien says, moving to touch his forehead to touch Marinette's. They both blush at the motion, but widen their smiles nevertheless.

"Yeah" says Marinette. At the same time, their lips shorten the distance till they met into a sweet and equally passionate kiss. A sense of happiness and comfort envelops the room, as though time stopped for the duo. What felt like forever until they were out of breath, the pair start to break off. Nevertheless, they had yet to pull their foreheads away, continuing to stare at each other again until Adrien breaks the trance off.

"Oh, that's right. What time is it?" Adrien asks. Marinette stares in confusion, waiting for Adrien as he pulls out his phone.

"1:36 AM. Perfect" he says, putting the device back in its original place. Marinette suddenly became even more confused.

"What's so perfect about being up this late? It's normal for us, but people tend to be asleep during this time."

"I know, but I have something for you." Adrien reluctantly gets up, followed by Marinette soon afterwards. He searches his other pocket to pull out a small black box, holding it out to her.

"Marinette, I'm really, really sorry about surprising you earlier. Still, even if I did stay in the party without Plagg's intervention, I planned on coming here for this despite when I told you I couldn't." Adrien opens the box to reveal a simple, but elegant gold ring, with one emerald and a ruby shaped to look like two halves of a heart together. "A promise ring for my lady and Princess. Happy Valentine's Day love."

It was at that moment when Marinette felt her heart and breath stopping altogether. Tears of joy started to form and dropped when she finally began to breathe again. It's so beautiful she thought, looking at the accessory in front of her. Marinette smiles as Adrien moves his free hand to remove the tears of one side of her face, until she pulls away with a confused expression back on her face.

"It's lovely Adrien. Believe me, I do love it, but wasn't Valentine's Day yesterday by now? Hm? Now that I think about it, it was weird that you didn't want to do much, even with the party you had to go to. You didn't even greet me the entire day, and I thought you would be the kind that goes overboard for these kinds of event..."

Adrien chuckles, seeing Marinette's face scrunch up as she thinks of the possible reasons in her head. "Mari" he says, grabbing his girl's attention back. "What you said may be true, but then this wouldn't make moment special." Adrien moves his hand back onto Marinette's cheek.

"Besides, it's not like we need a dedicated day to proclaim our love. We have now and beyond, a lifetime to do so. Nothing can stop us when we're together, and we knew that even before actually seeing each other whether as Adrien and Marinette or as Chat Noir and Ladybug." Adrien proceeds to slide the ring onto Marinette's right ring finger, the girl giggling with a new trail of tears running down her face. "No matter what you make me the happiest cat hero in the world; no other words can describe how I feel each time I look or think about you. For now, all I can say at this moment is that I love you, Marinette. I really do."

"I-I know." Marinette say as she tried holding back her sobs at this loving moment. Adrien embraced her again, Marinette using his chest to calm herself down. She looked back at the ring, in awe at how perfect it looked on her.

If this is to be the greatest moment of my life for now, then what would the proposal be like? Marinette thought in her head. Content, she looks up from the ring back into her love's emerald eyes.

"You are such a dork. Biggest one I've ever met. You do know that right?" Marinette says cheekily. Adrien laughs.

"Yes I am. I'm your dork none of the less."

"Yeah, because you rubbed off Chat all over me."

"Aw, but you know you love it. After all, you a-mew-se me everyday." Marinette couldn't take it anymore and groans, but still laughs at the horrible cat pun.

"Adrien!" She says as she lightly hits his chest. Adrien laughs, wrapping his arms around her tighter.

"Come on. You know you do my lady. Admit it."

"...Hehe- I do chaton." Marinette then gave Adrien a small sweet kiss upon his lips, noses touching each others. "And I love you too Adrien. Happy belated Valentine's day."

People have worn promise rings on the right hand to leave the left hand open for an engagement ring. If you want to see the ring, I'll have it up on my tumblr.

I do not own this wonderful and sinful show. Happy belated Valentine's day everyone! Stay tuned.
