Marinette was in her room freezing. It was the middle of winter and it was snowing which was the worst time for the heater to suddenly stop working. Her dad was currently downstairs with the repair man to try and fix the problem. Meanwhile she was in her room trying to find ways to keep warm until then.

Tikki was currently wrapped up in a pile of her hand knitted sweaters while Marinette had wrapped herself in a few blankets.

Marinette used to love the winter and all the things that it brought, like snow, Christmas and the winter fashion lines, however lately it's been more difficult to keep warm and not even her mother's delicious cup of hot cocoa was helping much.

Marinette heard a knock above her head and looked up to see Chat Noir who was smiling down at her. Marinette groaned, not because she wasn't happy to see the feline hero, but because letting him in meant bringing in more cold air. She reached up and unlocked the latch and gestured for him to let himself in.

Chat Noir lifted the door and hopped down to the other side of Mari's bed before shutting the door behind him. He was wearing a hat with cat ears and a blue scarf around his neck.

"Good evening princess.~" he said with a charming smile. When he saw the state Mari was in he grew concern. "Are you not feeling well?"

"I'm f...fine I'm j...just a little c...cold." She responded while rubbing her arms underneath the blanket. "The h..heater's b...broken and my dad with someone trying to f...fix it."

Chat Noir nodded as he understood the situation. The cold didn't effect him as much as it did for other people. Plus, his suit pretty much had some kind of built in heater to keep him warm besides his head and cheeks which is why he wore the hat and scarf. It most likely was the magic of the miraculous.

Which had him thinking.

"I could keep you warm princess." The blonde offered opening his arms with a wink. "Cats are very good at keeping warm after all."

Marinette rolled her eyes at the hero. "Th..Thanks but n..no thanks. You just c..came from outside, you're p..probably c..colder than I am."

"More reason for us to get close and warm up." He said to the shivering girl. "Oh come on Mari, I promise you'll be warmed up in no time. Don't you trust me?"

The young designer sighed. She figured she had noting to lose and if he was cold she could always just push him off. "Ok..kay fine g..get over here."

Chat Noir beamed and scooted closer to the dark haired girl. Marinette waited until he got into a comfortable position before lying herself on his chest. She was still wrapped up like a burrito in her bundle of blankets, so Chat Noir had to help her adjust so that she laid comfortable on his chest.

"You b...better not p..pull anything..Ch..Chat Noir." She warned.

"I wouldn't dream of it."

Marinette had to admit that he did feel very warm. Warmer than she had anticipated considering he was just out in the freezing weather moments ago. A few minutes passed and Marinette wanted to feel more of the blondes warmth so she unwrapped herself out of the blanket a bit so that she was in direct contact with Chat Noir.

He held her closer and began to run his gloved fingers through her hair. Marinette sighed at the feeling, she couldn't remember the last time she was at peace like this. She closed her eyes while she listened to the sound of Chat Noir's heart beating.

Meanwhile Chat Noir had been in a bit of a dilemma. Even though this was his idea, he hadn't anticipated how being this close to Marinette would make him feel. He felt his heart beating so loud he thought it might burst and he wondered if she could hear it too.

"I need to calm down." He thought to himself. "Marinette's a pretty girl. Its normal to be a bit nervous when we're this close....right?"

Chat Noir's ears perked when he noticed Mari's breathing had gone soft and he looked down to see the girl had fallen asleep. She had probably been tired since the cold had been preventing her from falling asleep.

Chat smiled and continued stroking her hair. He leaned down and placed a soft kiss on the top of her head. He noticed that she smelled like cookies and other baking good, most likely due to all her time in the bakery.

The black suited hero leaned back against her cat pillow and closed his eyes. He kept his ear alerted in case he heard one of her parents coming up to check on her.

After several minutes passed he felt himself drifting to sleep as well and just like Mari he thought of it as the best sleep he has ever experienced.

Well look at that another chapter from a book that should have been completed 5 years ago.

Honestly I might make two more of this book based on the list from 2019 and 2020.

I'll stop at 2020 cause that's when as you all know s*** began to hit the fan.

Plus I think that's when I started losing interest in the Miraculous show but the stories and fandom are still awesome.

Anyways if there's anyone still here reading this thanks for sticking around for so long. Ill have more updates but I cant promise that they will be quick.

Have an awesome day. Stay Miraculous everybody.
