"What about that one?"

Ladybug shook her head. "No. Not there."

"Why not?"

"Because I don't like it."

Chat rolled his eyes.

"That one?"

"No way," Chat argued.

"Because you don't like it?"

"Are you mocking me now?"

She grinned. "Yes."

"You are cruel, my lady."

"It's out of love, chaton," she said, shifting slightly closer to wrap her arms around his neck.

He had to shift to accommodate that action.

"Is this uncomfortable, kitty?" she asked, referring to their precarious position perched high above the city on top Chat's baton while she was balanced on his leg.

"Only slightly," he admitted. "But we don't get a better view anywhere else."

Ladybug bit her tongue against any argument and went back to their current predicament. "I like over there," she said, pointing off into the night.

"I do, too, but ever notice that a lot of akumas run through there."

She scrunched her nose in thought. "I suppose you're right."

"Doesn't mean I'm not sorry about it."

"Maybe we can overlook the fact?" Ladybug tried.

Chat pursed his lips in thought. "Fine, we'll leave it on the list. At the bottom."

"Fair enough."

"There," Chat pointed out. "Central location."

"True as that is, there are only apartments there."

"Really?"

"Yeah."

"Shame."

"I know. But I think there's a similar neighborhood on the other side."

Chat looked out where Ladybug was pointing. "No. It's too uppity."

"Oh."

"How about that one?" Chat said, pointing out another neighborhood.

"No," Ladybug adamantly shook her head. "Not the best school district."

"Transfer?"

"Possible, but inconvenient."

Chat sighed. "Then I guess that leaves one last neighborhood."

Ladybug looked over where Chat was pointing. "Yes, but I know we were wanting to avoid that one because you wanted to put some distance between you and your father."

"I did," Chat admitted. "But your parents live on the other side of that neighborhood and I know that you would prefer being close to them. I wouldn't mind either."

Ladybug giggled. "That's because Papa adores you. You're like the son he never had."

"Isn't that a good thing, though? Since I'm going to marry his daughter?"

With her smile growing, she rested her hand on his jaw to pull his face closer to hers. "Yes, kitty," she said, pressing their foreheads together. "It's a very good thing."

"So, have we decided?" he asked quietly. "We're going to choose the neighborhood we both grew up in?"

"If you're all right with it, kitty. We'll just be sure to choose a house closer to my parents than to yours."

Chat hummed happily. "That sounds like a plan, princess."

"Perfect."

After sharing a kiss, Chat leaned forward, purposefully unbalancing them so as to start falling towards home. They landed effortlessly, a talent that came with years of practice, before the duo bounded off to the Dupain-Cheng Bakery's roof.

When they landed, Chat caught Ladybug's hand, stopping her before she could slip away to her room. "So tomorrow, are we going house hunting, then?"

She shook her head, wrapping her arms around his torso. "Tomorrow, come over and we'll search a bit on our own and decide what we want so we can tell the realtor what we're looking for. How about that?"

His hands settled at her waist. "Sounds good. Can I come over for breakfast?"

The shyness in his voice was adorable. "Yes, you can come over for breakfast. Maman will feed you well. You know she thinks you're too skinny."

"I'm not objecting to her feeding me."

Ladybug ran her hands up Chat's sides. "Frankly, neither am I."

He shivered at her touch, his grin growing. "So I'll see you tomorrow? Early?"

"Seven?"

"Will you be awake by then?"

Ladybug had to give him that. "Seven-thirty?"

Chat chuckled. "Ok. Just don't forget to set your alarm. Not that I'm opposed to waking you up, princess."

She wrapped her arms up around his neck. "Then come over at seven."

He shook his head. "Careful not to tempt me, love. We aren't wedded yet."

"Month and a half away."

His grin grew while his grip on her tightened. "I can't wait. I'm ready for our good-byes to become good-nights."

"I know. I want that, too. I'm ready to be together in our own house."

He pulled her closer, leaning down so their noses were touching. "So am I. I'm anxious to find a house to make our home."

"And raise a family in."

"And make a life in."

Their kiss spoke volumes in the silence.

"I love you."

"I love you, too."

"I don't want to leave."

"I don't want you to leave."

Unfortunately, they each knew it wasn't possible.

"But it's late," Chat lamented. "I guess I'll have to say goodnight for now."

"I guess so," Ladybug reluctantly agreed. "I'll see you in the morning, then."

Another kiss. "Good night, Marinette," he whispered, stepping away from his bride-to-be.

"Sleep well, Adrien," she responded. "I'll see you in the morning."

"Seven-thirty sharp." He grinned. "Our house hunt awaits."

A/N: A while ago, I saw a screenshot from the episode Mime where Ladybug was sitting with Chat on top his baton and someone captioned it, "It looks like they're house hunting." I couldn't resist. ;)
