@marichatmay day 2: balcony

[chatonfils]

Finding out about @deadonmayn at this exact moment is devastating because I literally don’t have time to start any new projects until June because of con crunch and this literally made me hand flap so hard

[starfall-spirit]

I'm Booooooooored

Shoot me some random asks or DM me about something. My writing, random questions about life. Prompts for me to hoard until my events are finished. Whatever

[standreamy]

"Poison Counterpoison" part 1/3 For marichatmay2023 : Multimouse Next . . . Sooo yeah, a miraculous post. To be honest, when the prompts for Marichat May came out I was excited to get to work because they were pretty interesting. My fav bunch out of all marichat mays. However, irl issues came up and I had to take a forceful break I'm still partially into... and I also realised fandom wise that I have zero motivation to draw Miraculous at the moment.

This comic is kind of a proof to it, being on hold since last year, when season 4 was airing and my dissatisfactions with the series grew at very high levels. I used my own fanwork for aus to try keeping motivated and engaged, but the series is making me so tired and angry at how they are handling things, that I can't have fun anymore even while making my own stuff for it. Especially for the topics I addressed in the comic. Multimouse never brought up, communication issues subplots messed up in the worst ways, almost zero growth, moralism all over the place... And after being accidentally spoilered with leaks on twitter about the finale... I can't really find any motivation with how messed up I think it is. This is inspired on a fic I posted on ao3 "blame the rain". While the ending of that fic is much more sadder than the one for this comic and the characters here were changed a bit to be made more... Regretful and make the drifting off more realistic, the feeling is quite similar. . . Right now, only the movie is something I look forward and while I plan to finish my aus and headcanons in future, it won't be anytime soon. In this moment, I wish to give my time to things that makes me genuinely happy and have fun. However, I thank everyone for your support with my content and anyone who is genuinely interested in my Aus.❤️ . . .

AO3

Pairing - Ladrien, Adrinette + Marichat

Prompt - 'Purr Purr'

Summary -

'Do all blond boys purr and get cuddly?'

Ladybug sputtered internally, face composed and arms full of one blushy, cuddly (and apparently) purring Adrien Agreste as she leapt from building to building in order to take him to safety. His chest continued to literally rumble like her partner's namesake, vibrating hard enough to make her own chest shake along with his whilst the top of his golden hair rubbed itself under her chin in pure delight. As if he found the key to the highest of the seven heavens and paying zero attention to how the heroine had to perform daredevil-like acrobatics and parkour just to keep him safe.

Like an ignorant little cat.

 'Do all blond boys purr and get cuddly?'

 Ladybug sputtered internally, face composed and arms full of one blushy, cuddly (and apparently) purring Adrien Agreste as she leapt from building to building in order to take him to safety. His chest continued to literally rumble like her partner's namesake, vibrating hard enough to make her own chest shake along with his whilst the top of his golden hair rubbed itself under her chin in pure delight. As if he found the key to the highest of the seven heavens and paying zero attention to how the heroine had to perform daredevil-like acrobatics and parkour just to keep him safe.

Like an ignorant little cat.

 The latest Akuma of the day was after him and wouldn't settle for anything less other than ripping the model apart limb from limb or skewering him with his villainous sword and using him as a makeshift javelin so that he could shoot the poor teen all the way to the moon. In fact, Ladybug would have been quite impressed with the Akuma's creative yet morbid threats that spilt out of his feral mouth had they not been directed towards the love of her life. He was determined to turn her purring future husband— ehem, her purring very good friend into a sheesh kebab.

 And why, you may ask?

Rewind to thirty minutes earlier.  An upperclassman at collège Françoise Dupont had been crushing on Marinette Dupain-Cheng for quite a while; often paying a visit to her parents' boulangerie and buying way too many pastries just to get a glimpse of her at the cashier, sticking around at the front of the school steps in the morning till the bell rings just to see her dart into the building in a rush and even making sure to sit at a table in the cafeteria that was closest to the one she was at during lunch just so he could watch her in his peripheral vision.

 Deaf to all of his peers' warnings and paying no mind to a single word they said ("You don't even know if she's single!", "Not a good idea dude...", "Bro, give up!"), he soon mustered up all of his courage and everything to finally, finally ask her out.

 In front of everyone.

 .

 The apple of his eye, whilst slightly flattered by his grand declaration (or so he thought), was also really uncomfortable and incredibly confused. She politely declined much to the upperclassman's dismay so of course he had to keep insisting and make her change her mind! Just because she's saying "no" doesn't mean that she really means it— she could be playing hard to get like all girls usually do, right!?

 Plus, how is he supposed to win her over if she doesn't give him a chance? He's cool, good-looking, older and has moderately good grades! Sure, she has no idea who he is but this is why it's more of a reason for her to agree and go out with him because how else will they get to know each other? All of his exes also said that he's a very good kisser (after much prodding and whining from his side every time they weren't feeling up for a kiss during the times they were together) so surely, once he gets Marinette to go on the date with him and he kisses her goodnight, she'll fall madly in love with him too, right???

 He just couldn't see why anyone would turn him down!

 However, all of a sudden, Adrien FUCKING Agreste appeared.

 .

 Not only did that evil little brat give him such an intimidating glare that it sent paralysing fear down the upperclassman's spine but he also had the balls to grab Marinette in his arms and envelope her tiny frame within!? All whilst glaring at him!?!? (He was only a few centimetres shorter than the upperclassman too so why is this blondie allowed to be so scary!?)  And the cherry on top???

 The way that Marinette stared up at Adrien with literal pink heart eyes and wearing the most adorable blush he'd ever seen, as if she belonged in that stupid model's embrace. He swore, SWORE to all the Gods and ancient powers he could ever think of that he saw Adrien Stupid-greste smirk triumphantly when Marinette relaxed and hid her face into his chest with a quiet squeal! So obviously that was more than enough of a reasoning for the upperclassman to get akumatised and gut the golden-haired stinking cat, right?!

And soon, he succumbed to the smooth, seductive voice belonging to the notorious villain and didn't waste any time to accept his offer of supernatural power in exchange for the miraculous of Ladybug and Chat Noir.

Present  Too caught up in her thoughts, Ladybug didn't catch the happy mumblings from the teen in her arms who continued to act like he was forever stuck in bliss and ecstasy and was practically cuddling her.

 "Hehhe~ mine ♡ My Lady, my Marinette, mine ♡♡♡ I love you, I love you, I love you~ we're so getting married and will have a million babies and live on an island together with a pet hamster~!" 

 Ladybug continued to stay wrapped up in her thoughts even after she successfully put Adrien in a safe place, was joined by her beloved Chat Noir and when they instantly took down the Akuma at record-breaking speed. She managed to clock how similar Adrien's and Chat Noir's behaviours were when compared together and yet all she concluded in her insanely intelligent brain was that it was just a 'blond-haired, green-eyed boy' sort of thing.

 Oh well.

 At least the upperclassman will finally leave her alone. For now? She has to deal with her purring, giggly partner whose arms are practically glued around her waist like the lovesick kitten he is. At least her Chaton is the cutest thing ever. And if anyone saw her pressing lots of kisses on his fluffy head— shush.

OMAKE

 "Months! You knew that I was Ladybug for months and you didn't tell me?" Marinette scolded the big black and yellow puddle of happy goop on her lap, her arms crossed and eyes narrowed whilst he continued to watch her with those big, glittery greens of his that made it absolutely impossible to stay mad at him. Even his belt tail curved itself into the shape of a heart from time to time before deciding to wrap itself around her ankle as if it were an extension of her partner's feelings.

 Technically, she wasn't as mad as she wanted to sound but dammit, she had to teach her silly Chaton a lesson!

 "Actually, I'd say I've known for over half a year now, ma Princesse," He leaned up from her lap with a mischievous smile and quickly pecked her nose to get her to blush just the way he liked it. Dieu, he wanted to kiss her so badly on the lips. Judging by the way she bloomed in a brighter pink colour, she must have realised his wishful intentions.

 "H-Hey! Bad Chaton! Keep your lips to yourself!" Her flustered stutter only worsened mid-sentence, unconsciously melting into the leather-clad hand that lovingly cupped the side of her face.

 Dammit.

 "But I love giving you kisses~" He flashed her his iconic kitten eyes, faux ears drooping and brows furrowed. "I can't let a single second go without making My Lady feel loved, non?" He pressed a couple more kisses on her cheek, each getting closer and closer to her lips. "Besides...I feel like from now on, I should wear some lipstick and kiss you all over so that no more annoying boys will pester you for a date when I'm right there. Hmmph."

 "What do you mean when you're right there— " And then, and finally fucking then, everything clicked for Marinette Dupain-Cheng and the two blond-haired, green-eyed purring boys in her life turned into one. "ADRIEN!?!??!"

 Bisou.

Soulmates

Anddd here is my final chapter for Marichat May :). I hope you enjoyed this set of prompts from me for this month. If you did, please feel free to join me for Ladrien June <3

AO3

Chat Noir bounded across the rooftops of Paris, his heart beating in sync with the rhythm of the city below. The moon cast a silvery glow over the landscape, but it was the thought of Marinette that truly illuminated his path. He landed softly on the rooftop of her bakery, his boots barely making a sound. He loved visiting her, especially during these quiet, late-night hours when the world seemed to shrink down to just the two of them.

He tapped lightly on her balcony’s trapdoor, brushing a hand through his hair like he had done countless times before. Moments later, Marinette appeared, her eyes sparkling with joy and a soft smile playing on her lips. She opened the trapdoor, and he slipped inside, his heart fluttering as it always did in her presence.

"Hey, purrincess," he whispered, wrapping his arms around her in a warm embrace.

"Hey, kitty," she replied, nuzzling against his chest. "I missed you."

He pulled back slightly, just enough to look into her eyes. "I missed you too. Every moment away from you feels like an eternity."

They settled on her chaise, the familiar comfort of her room enveloping them. Chat reached out, taking her hand in his, their fingers intertwining as he squeezed her hand. He could feel the warmth of her touch, goosebumps rising on his skin from the glide of her thumb along his.

"Do you ever think about soulmates?" he asked softly, his voice filled with a mix of curiosity and wonder.

Marinette tilted her head, considering his question. "I do. I think about it a lot, actually. Why do you ask?"

Chat took a deep breath, gathering his thoughts. "Because sometimes... it feels like we're more than just partners. Like we're connected in a way that goes beyond everything else. Do you... do you feel the same?"

Marinette's smile widened, and she leaned in to rest her head on his shoulder. "Yes. I feel that too, mon minou. It's like we were meant to find each other. Like our souls were always destined to be together."

He tightened his grip on her hand, his heart swelling with emotion. "You know, there's a legend about a red string of fate. It says that two people connected by this string are destined to be together, no matter what. No matter how far apart they are, or what obstacles they face, the string will always bring them back to each other."

Marinette looked up at him, her eyes shimmering with tears. "That's beautiful. And it feels true, doesn't it? Like there's an invisible thread that binds us."

Chat nodded, brushing a stray hair from her face. "Yes, it does. Every time I'm with you, every time I see your smile or hear your laugh, I feel that connection. It's like you're a part of me, Marinette. My other half. The better part of me."

She cupped his cheek, her touch gentle and reassuring. "And you're a part of me, mon Chaton. My heart, my strength, my everything."

Their lips met in a tender kiss, a silent promise of how grand their love was. As they kissed, Chat pulled back just slightly, their faces still close. His eyes searched hers, filled with a mixture of vulnerability and love.

"Marinette," he whispered, his voice trembling with emotion, he picked up her hand, rubbing at her ring finger. "I think we're soulmates."

Her eyes widened, gazing down at their hands. "I think so too. I think we were always destined to end up together."

"Me too," he replied, his voice steadying. "I've never felt this way with anyone else. It's like... we were always meant to be together. Like there's some invisible string that just keeps pulling us back to each other. Helping us to find each other. Again and again."

Marinette smiled, her heart feeling like it might burst with the depth of her feelings. "That’s so sweet, Chaton. And I believe it. I believe it with all my heart."

They kissed again, the certainty of their love strengthening with every moment. In that quiet, intimate space, they knew that their souls were intertwined, destined to be together for all time. And as they held each other close, they felt the invisible thread that connected them, unbreakable and eternal.

"I love you, Chaton," Marinette whispered as they held each other tight.

"I love you too," Chat murmured back, his heart overflowing with love and certainty. At that moment, beneath the moonlit sky, they knew their bond was unbreakable, a testament to their eternal love.

As they continued to embrace, the night around them seemed to grow even quieter, as if the city itself recognized the significance of their connection. The gentle hum of Paris, the distant sounds of traffic, and the soft whispers of the wind all seemed to fade into the background, leaving only the sound of their intertwined breaths and beating hearts as they gently kissed each other.

Chat couldn't help but marvel at how right everything felt in Marinette's arms. He had always admired her strength, her kindness, and her unwavering spirit, but it was in these quiet moments that he truly understood the depth of his love for her. She was his anchor, his guiding light, and he knew he would do anything to protect her and make her happy.

Marinette, too, felt the profound weight of their relationship. She had slowly fallen in love with Chat from afar, never imagining that he could be her partner in both life and love. Now, with his arms around her and his love shining in his eyes, she felt complete. The journey they had taken together, filled with challenges and triumphs, had only strengthened their connection, making it clear that they were meant to be.

The night wore on, but neither of them felt the passage of time. They talked about their dreams, their hopes for the future, and the adventures they would face together. They shared secrets, laughter, and quiet moments of reflection, each conversation leading to more kisses and solidifying their belief in their destiny as soulmates.

As the first light of dawn began to creep over the horizon, Chat knew it was time to go, but he was reluctant to leave. He kissed Marinette's forehead, promising to return as soon as he could. She held his hand until the last possible moment, her eyes filled with love and a quiet determination that mirrored his own.

"Until we meet again, purrincess," he whispered, leaping gracefully onto the balcony and disappearing into the early morning light.

Marinette watched him go, her heart full of love and certainty. She knew they would always find their way back to each other, no matter the challenges they faced. They were soulmates, destined to be together, their love an unbreakable thread that bound them for all eternity.

Alrighty everyone!

Time to start up on Marichat May (Or as I like to call it Mariblanc May because I love blanc boi a little too much)

Summary: Marinette has always been frightened of letting Chat Blanc find out they have the same mark, but she has to do what it takes to keep her friend safe.

This would be chapter 1. I won't be using every prompt because I... don't feel like suffering this month. (Also apparently I have this thing called school :/)

With all that said. Enjoy! I hope I bring you your sadistic kitty that you love.

[fragileizywriting]

this is out of context but cockwarming is done!! yippie!! god the fact that i haven't even finished half of this prompt list is just so daunting. but i gotta keep pushing. i have such an urge to give up on this because i feel like i've made no progress, but prompt months are always super difficult (as we know, i didn't even finish flp which is also a prompt month... two, actually, since i didn't finish marichat may 2021 in time)

but i am making progress. i'm writing 1 chapter a day, apparently, which i'm really impressed with. but like i've said, there are a bunch on this list that are just repeats and i can't figure out anything unique for them, which is making me really nervous

i'm doing my best, though!!

[sasusakucore]

It's marichat may!!! I am so excited for the prompts.

chat noir needs to stop getting himself hurt whilst protecting his lady 2k22

AO3 / FFN

Pairing - Marichat

Prompt - ‘Healing’

Summary -

Warm, salty tears seeped through his bandages, lightly stinging his wounds but it was nothing compared to the agonising pain of knowing that he made her cry.  Again.  "Why...? Why do you always do this to me?" Her words were barely a whisper yet the impact was enough to make his heart pound incredibly hard. "How many more times are you going to make me see you die before me?" Marinette pulled her head back and finally faced him with tear-stained cheeks and reddened, watery eyes. "How many more times are you going to die until the cleansing light stops bringing you back to life?"

(Or, AU where the cleansing light doesn’t heal all of Chat Noir’s injuries and he ends up having to get constantly patched up by his Lady)

~(x)~ . . . "Owch! Hey! Ow-ow-ow! You! You did that on purpose!" The feline hero scowled at his companion with as much venom as a baby kitten, his tail swatting irritatedly against her mattress and his faux ears plastered miserably to his blond locks. Marinette simply glowered back wordlessly with enough intensity to make him shiver in fright, bandages tight in her tense hands as she continued to patch up his wounded chest. A chest that was very bare and very naked, the teen hero having had no choice but to zip his suit down to free his arms and torso in order for his partner to apply the necessary medication to help him get better sooner. Though, Marinette was doing an excellent job in paying no heed to the sight of her partner's half-nakedness much to the feline's utter dismay and continued to sort him out in silence. She didn't even bat an eye at the way he tried to wiggle his kitten ears, his need for her undivided attention to his pleading face and for something to get rid of the suffocating tension that wafted in the bedroom was indescribable. "You know, this would've been a hundred times easier if you allowed me to show my identity to you too." He continued to pout pathetically, leaning his face into her personal space only to get pushed away by the nose with her pointer finger as Marinette continued to work. Before he could come up with anything else to break the agitating silence, a very unmanly and high-pitched squeal leapt out of his throat as soon as she tightened the bandages without mercy or a word of warning. "Hey!?" "Oops." The girl casually replied with a cool, unapologetic tone. Her raw anger towards her partner still burned within the pits of her stomach as she patted his body down to check for any more injuries or pain he could be hiding (he's done it before in the past, like the absolute idiot he is). She paid no mind to the way his heart instantly elevated under her careful touch and the way his cheeks bloomed with a light, rosy glow. "There. All done. I want you to take these remedies home with you. Be sure to take plenty of painkillers and sneak away to the doctor for anything else that I may have missed. And for the love of god, rest. Don't even think about stepping outside for patrol or whatever that isn't an emergency." His ears flickered up, noting the sheer pain in her voice (that she tried so, so hard to steel) and the unconditional worry glittering within her baby blues. Unadulterated guilt sewed his organs together tightly within his throbbing chest, a pain that was so much more intense than the physical wounds he wore. Wounds that he gained from sacrificing himself to save her. Again. . "Marinette...? Marinette?? Talk to me, please," He placed his hands on hers gently, his partner slightly taken back from the tantalising warmth of his bare skin upon hers, his blunt fingernails grazing the skin on the back of her hands. "I'm really sorry...I didn't mean to make you worry..." A shuddering, wet gasp left her throat despite all her restraints and Chat Noir immediately brought her into his chest and held her tight as she scrambled for purchase over his shoulders. His heart practically shattered from the way her tiny frame shivered and trembled with silent sobs within his protective arms. Warm, salty tears seeped through his bandages, lightly stinging his wounds but it was nothing compared to the agonising pain of knowing that he made her cry. Again. "Why...? Why do you always do this to me?" Her words were barely a whisper yet the impact was enough to make his heart pound incredibly hard. "How many more times are you going to make me see you die before me?" Marinette pulled her head back and finally faced him with tear-stained cheeks and reddened, watery eyes. "How many more times are you going to die until the cleansing light stops bringing you back to life?" "I...I have faith in you to bring me back, every single time-" He didn't get a chance to finish off his half-hearted reasonings as Marinette pushed him back onto the bed with a strength that would rival her alter-ego's, hovering over his body with clenched teeth and tears cascading down her face and splashing against his. "...Marinette...?" "You said you love me, right? That you'll always love me, right? Is that all a lie?" Ice filled his veins from head to toe and the provoked boy immediately sat up with an incredulous, angered expression. Cupping her face, he brought her even closer towards him so that their lips were merely just centimetres apart. "Of all things you should question, my love and my devotion for you aren't one of them. Don't you dare underestimate me like that, Marinette." His body shook with both fury and pain, biceps trembling as she placed a tender hand on one of his arms. "There's nothing in this world I love more than you. Nothing. I would do anything for you. I would destroy the world a million times over for you if you wish. I'm yours in every way you want me to be. So don't question it again!" He didn't expect her to place her forehead on his chest reverently, pinpricked hand now tracing the heated skin above his heart and her tears still trickling down. "Then...why don't you live for me? If you love me so much, why don't you try your damn hardest to live!?" Taking advantage of his awestruck, flabbergasted face, Marinette crashed her lips against his. At first Chat Noir was frozen from pure shock, body as stiff as a board and lips unmoving whilst hers bruised his. Then, determination, selfishness and the urgent need to prove even further just how much he loves her pushed his senses back into action and he immediately kissed her back hungrily. It was anything but graceful, yet, it was better than anything he's ever dreamt of in his entire life. His mind and his senses were filled with nothing but Marinette. Sweet, sweet Marinette. His Lady, his Princesse, his amour, the love of his life and the girl he would do anything for in a heartbeat. The way his fingers greedily tangled up within her midnight hair and then traced the length of her spine just to make her curve into his frame made the experience so much more passionate and amorous and the way her hands cradled the back of his reddened neck made him purr with delight. Every sound she made, he swallowed. Every sound he made, she breathed in. Marinette slowly pulled away with a pant, eyes still fluttered shut and melting into her partner's touch as he trailed tender, tender butterfly kisses down her soft jawline. She didn't even need to open her eyes to know that he was lovingly peering at her under his unfairly long lashes, watching her every move as he rested one of his strong arms around her slim waist. "What was that for?" He finally broke the peaceful silence, murmuring against her flushed, heated skin before deciding to steal another kiss from her soft, dewy lips. And another. And another. And another. "And I want you to be honest with me, Marinette," He had her chin tilted up to face him with one of his fingers and then warmly tucked a few strands of stray, mussed-up hair behind her ear. "Please," She took the time to study his pleading and earnest face, memorising the way his dark lashes shadowed over his feline emeralds and enraptured by how they managed to peek under his messy, blond fringe. Marinette didn't even think to stop herself when she naturally placed a trembling hand on his heated cheek, the duo simultaneously melting into the considerate touch and their faces only a breath away. Then, she traced his bottom, peachy-pink lip with the pad of her thumb, tugging the kiss-bruised flesh down only for her Chaton to delicately nip the digit with the sharp of his fang. Her face was on fire but her heart was soaring. "For every battle you come out unscathed or without losing your life by sacrificing yourself, I'll kiss you." Her baby blues was the calm ocean and his fiery green eyes widened at the delectable deal she was trying to propose. "Isn't this a sweet proposition? You have nothing to lose if you agree." The only answer she got was him pushing her down on the bed this time round, his body perched on her lap and his hands on either side of her head. "I'm not going to let any akumas even have the chance to imagine hurting you, let alone touch you when I can easily stop them. And if my death guarantees your health and safety then I'm more than happy to never be able to kiss those lips of yours ever again." His expression remained firm and resulted despite the way hers crumpled. "Chat Noir...don't you see that seeing you die over and over again is killing me? Why can't you just do as I say for once!? Why do you have to be so stupid and selfless and selfish and just so stupid!" She didn't let him even breathe, bringing him back in for another harsh, powerful kiss that lacked any sort of finesse but set his entire body ablaze in the best way possible. But, what she whispered into his lips next both made and broke him. "Why can't you see that I love you too..." Once again, the injured hero was left speechless, lips parted in awe and eyebrows furrowed under the mask, not knowing whether to be elated by her heart-filled words or to cry from the excruciating pain written all over her sullen face. Either way, tears began to form in his eyes without much prompting and his vision started to blur into splodges of colours. "Wha...what?" His lips were captured by hers again, mouth insistent and teeth brutal. "Marinette, when? How? I thought there was someone else- mmph- you can't keep kissing your way out of this-" He pushed himself back up (reluctantly), cradling her tearful face and then pressed a gentle kiss on her forehead. Close enough to bask in her warmth but far enough to resist the temptation to kiss her senseless. "Always...I have always loved you." She quietly admitted, fingers running through his hair and her shyness prominent in both her expression and body. "And I also love him too...but..." "But?" "As much as I love him too, as much as I'll forever treasure the day he went out of his way on the first day of school to seek forgiveness from me and gifted me his umbrella..." She pushed his head down to rest on hers. "I can't help but keep choosing you. You. My partner. My other half. My future." She clung to him tight, unaware of the realisations that went through his head simultaneously. "I can't have you die! Never again! Please! I want us to be together and happy without worrying about Le Papillon or anyone else! I want to be your bride and even...I even want you to be the father of my children, Chat Noir! So please, just listen to this selfishness of mine!" . "De-transformation," She almost swore she was dreaming as her partner glowed with a brilliant flash of neon green and blinding white. His hair became shorter and neater, his bare, bandaged chest was adorned with a familiar shirt and his eyes... His green, green, green eyes. The very same gorgeous eyes that captured her heart on a daily basis both in and out of the mask. Oh, the way they sparkled and glittered and the way her reflection looked just so beautiful within. She couldn't utter a single word as her Chaton unveiled himself to her as her Adrien. "I want it too," His voice was so wrecked and so raw, his hands clasping hers tight and his nose grazing her softer one. Lips just a breath shy away from hers. "I want it so badly, so, so badly. I want to be with you forever, Marinette," He pressed his lips against hers. Once, twice, thrice and they lost count. "Adrien..." The way she breathed out his name with so much love and so much relief made his heart grow wings and skyrocket out of his chest to cloud nine. "Mon Adrien," "I can't promise that I won't get hurt again when saving you," He placed a firm kiss on her cheek. "But I promise, I'll try. I'll try my hardest. Because I want to be with you forever." "Forever, and always," . . . ~(x)~
