Chapter Text
Marinette sighed in exhaustion as she made the trek back to her apartment. She had just gotten out of her last class for the night. Too exhausted to notice a certain hero watching her from the rooftops. He quietly hissed when he saw a drunken guy walking towards her.
“Hey cutie~! Why don't you come home with me~~” the guy flirted, reaching out to grab Marinette.
Before he could grab her, Chat Noir landed between the guy and her.
“I'm sorry sir. But I don't think you should be going at this young lady. For she is spoken for.” Chat Noir stated, a sort of growl hinted in his words.
He then turned to face Marinette, smiling as he scooped her up princess style and leapt up on the buildings and away from the drunk. The guy just stood there, blinking. Before shrugging his shoulders and taking another sip of his beer.
Chat Noir landed on Marinette's balcony, setting her down carefully.
“Are you ok? He didn't hurt you right??” Chat Noir questioned, worried.
Marinette sighed. “He didn't hurt me Chat. I'm fine. But you were a little over protective back there. You know I can stand up for myself, but I really do appreciate the help.” Marinette said before yawning.
Chat smiled. “I mean I am very protective of the girl I'm dating! I wouldn't be able to handle it if you got hurt.” he said, rubbing against her cheek and purring.
“Hehehe, I love you too Chat. Now come on. Let's go inside and watch some anime before I fall asleep.” She said, scratching under his chin.
She unlocked the balcony door of her apartment and went inside, Chat following close behind her.
