The Fairy Prince
MariChat Week 2 Day 2: Fairy Tales. If you’ve never watched Thumbelina, here’s a relevant link.

Chat Noir had been about to doze off in Marinette’s lap when she asked him a question: “What’s your favorite fairy tale?”
His eyes opened. Marinette ran her hand through his hair and they looked at each other with mutual curiosity. “My favorite fairy tale? Thumbelina.”
Marinette’s brow shot up. “Thumbelina?”
“Yup. I think I watched the movie a hundred times when I was a kid. I knew all the songs.”
“I don’t believe you.”
He sat up and took Marinette’s hand in his. “Let me be your wings,” he sang. “Let me be your only love. Let me take you far beyond the stars…”
Marinette covered her mouth with her free hand and laughed. “Oh my gosh, you weren’t kidding.”
But Chat Noir wasn’t about to let her off the hook. “Let me be your wings. Let me lift you high above. Everything we’re dreaming of will soon be ours,” he crooned.
Marinette tried to hide her blush. “Come on, kitty…”
“Anything that you desire, anything at all. Every day I’ll take you higher, and I’ll never let you fall.” He tucked his head under her chin and nuzzled her neck.
Marinette wrapped her arms around him, pulling him down on the bed. “Fine,” she said, “you can be my fairy prince, but only if you stop singing.”
Chat Noir settled against her. “What about you?” he asked.
“Hansel and Gretel,” Marinette replied without skipping a beat. Chat tensed.
“Uh… maybe you shouldn’t be babysitting small children.”
