A/N: Hello everyone! Some may know me from my other Marichat / Lukanette work, this time it's a combo (ultimately, the outcome will remain ambiguous until the end). Anyway, hope you enjoy! :)

"Here, take my hand," he smiled, a smile she wasn't sure she could resist, "I promise, I won't let you fall,"

Her eyes widened and she felt something stir within her chest as she grasped his hand, words she remembered hearing before echoed now by Luka.

"I won't let you fall, princess," Chat Noir's hand grabbed her own in a silent display of comfort, his smile reassuring as she felt his hand grip her own tighter. His face illuminated by the moon as he held her securely against his body before he made a high leap across a rooftop for the candlelit surprise, a surprise meant for Ladybug.

Marinette stared back up at Luka, silently convincing herself as she grabbed his hand, Luka's hand, "I trust you, minou,"

She didn't dare look back in fear of Luka noticing, instead she allowed herself to be led on his ship, the akumatized boat appearing more menacing than before, shades of cool blue, white and black covering it. She prayed Chat Noir had a plan, a plan to not only get her out of this mess but give her enough time to escape to transform and purify the akuma before he noticed she was missing.

The moment Luka briefly turned his back to light the candles on the fancy dinner table, their lavish dinner all set, Marinette turned her head to look at the nearest rooftop, "Chat Noir…"

Standing atop the roof with the boat in clear view, Chat Noir spun his baton and slammed it to the ground, his ears set straight and his gaze fixed upon the two figures on the ship.

His eyes narrowed menacingly.
