Chapter Text
Marinette didn't know when it started. At first, she only had Chat coming to visit her to check on her after an akuma attack. It started after Nathaniel was akumatized, and it continued because he was enjoying himself at her house, or at least that is what she guessed. Then after Rena Rouge appeared, she randomly visited one night with some lame excuse about checking on civilians. It ended with Rena laying across her lap getting her head petted by Mari.
Then Queen Bee appeared on her rooftop a week after her first appearance in Paris. She seemed odd at first. They would have short conversations about random topics, from small things like fashion to deep things like world views. It was so odd, but Marinette wouldn't deny that she didn't find their talks interesting. Then Carapace appeared a couple of days after his debut in Paris. By that time, Marinette began to wonder if the other heroes were having some kind of secret meetings without Ladybug where they talked about a 'special' civilian who didn't mind superheroes randomly showing up and hanging out. Whenever Carapace visited, they often listened to music or worked on some crafts. It was quite fun.
While she lost some sleep, she wouldn't deny that she liked their visits. Even when Chat got super annoying with his puns...The thing is...all their visits had been one on one. While she guessed they knew about each other visiting, they never mentioned it on patrols so she wasn't 100% sure.
She found out though, that they definitely did not know that they each visited her. And, it was not a fun day.
It had been a simple day, that morning she had finally worked up enough courage to befriend Lila. Lila had just recently returned to the school after being bullied for a week straight when everyone found out she had been lying. Marinette had finished her homework and began to head to her bed when she heard a thump on the rooftop. Deciding to see who it was tonight, she began to open the top only to see several other heroes land on the roof.
Each hero froze on the spot as they stared at each other in shock. Marinette looked back down at her bed and then back at the scene. She slowly began to close the top so she could creep on over to her bed only to flinch as she felt a hand wrap around her wrist. Glancing back up, she saw a stoic looking Chat holding onto her.
"Princess...we'd like a word," Chat said before yanking Marinette out of her room. After landing on her feet, Marinette quickly found herself surrounded by four superheroes. She looked at each of them with a slightly nervous face before chuckling and doing little gun shooting motions.
"What's up everyone?" Marinette nervously said hoping that none of them would start yelling and wake her parents. Queen Bee frowned as she gripped her arm. Rena and Carapace seemed the calmest, but she could tell they were still ticked off. Chat...seemed quiet...she wasn't sure.
"What's up? I just found out that all these other bozos come and visit you! I thought I was the only one who did that!!" Bee complained as she began stomping her foot over and over with a frown on her face. Marinette just scratched the back of her head before feeling an arm wrap around her shoulder.
"Yeah girl, I thought I was the only one who got to hang out with you," Rena told Marinette who began to respond only for Carapace to interject.
"Yeah Mari, at least tell me you don't rock out to music with the others?" Carapace asked Marinette who gave him a quick thumbs up which allowed him to sigh in relief. Rena let go of Marinette who backed away only for a clawed hand to fall on her shoulder.
"Come on Princess, I thought this was our thing? I mean I've been hanging out with you up here and in your room for months now. I never thought you would do the same with the others. Does Ladybug visit to?" Chat questioned Marinette with a slight hurt tone. Marinette sighed before shrugging off his hand and taking a few steps back.
Clearly, each felt hurt that she was hanging out with other heroes as well. If she had to guess, they each thought that visiting her was their own special privilege. She shook her head before bringing her arms up and crossed them over her chest.
"Listen guys, I'm sorry that spending time with me isn't a special right only one of you have, but you need to understand something. I thought you would have mentioned visiting a civilian to one another when on patrol or something. Plus, I was never told to not hang out with one of you. So, I'm sorry that your feelings are hurt, but I promise I didn't mean any harm by not mentioning it. Now that you all know that each of you visit, how about we all start hanging out together?!" Marinette happily declared while clapping her hands together. She walked over to the trap door leading back to her room and motioned for them to come on in before climbing in herself.
Each hero groaned before glaring at each other. They did not want to share.
"Oh it's on!" they each whispered before charging the trapdoor, tripping and getting in the way of each other. In her room, Marinette happily hummed to herself as she got a movie ready for the group to watch.
Now that they all knew about each other visiting her, they could all start hanging out. Nothing will go wrong!...Right?
