MariChat Week 2 Day 6: Cookies

Chat Noir had a built in cookie radar. Marinette would not believe anything else. Every time she baked cookies, he showed up at her house. It went something like this:

She would tell her friends she was bringing cookies to school the next day, then she’d go home to bake them, and Chat Noir would show up within the hour.

“How do you always know?” she demanded as she poured chocolate chips into a bowl full of dough.

Chat Noir leaned against the counter, tail swishing from side to side. “Maybe I patrol by your house every afternoon in the hopes that I’ll sniff them out,” he said.

“Yeah, and maybe you’re full of shit. Do you have this place wired or something?” Marinette smacked Chat Noir’s claw away as he reached in to swipe some dough off the inside of the bowl. “Stop that. If you get food poisoning, who’s going to help Ladybug save Paris?”

“I’ll let you borrow Plagg.”

She rolled her eyes and popped open the oven. On the middle rack sat a tray of cookies, ready to eat. “You’re so lucky I made a batch before you got here,” she said.

“For me?!” Chat Noir hovered over the cookies. His eyes were practically sparkling.

“Let them cool down a bit,” she warned him.

Chat Noir leaned towards Marinette with a seductive smile. “You know,” he purred, “they say if you keep feeding stray cats they’ll never go away.”

Marinette rolled her eyes, then leaned in until they were practically nose to nose. “Maybe I don’t want you to go away,” she said, matching his suggestive tone. Chat Noir’s eyes widened. Under his mask, his face went pink. Marinette laughed out loud and shoved him back. “Get real, chaton!”

Chat Noir humphed, picked a cookie off the tray and crammed it in his mouth. “You’re hilarious.”
