Obligatory Inspection

As it had been a few days since you'd seen bff/n, you'd invited her over to spend the day with you, being a Saturday there was no school needs.

She'd come over around noon, and the two of you had been mostly in your room, just catching up on things.

"Soooo, how's the angel and her kitty?" Bff/n teases.

You giggle and say, "We're doing great! He's the best boyfriend ever. Last night, he took me too the Eiffel and we danced to the same song as at the party. It was amazing!"

"Aww! My dates from that haven't been nearly as good. Though the first guy is better than the rest."

"Well it's their loss, really."

"I know." She says, giving a mock hair flip, making you laugh.

Of course you'd texted her about getting together with Cat, and that he told you and your family his identity, and the reason, but you didn't tell her who he is, and she didn't push.

It had been decided that she'd sleep over, so you were going to text Cat that you'd be busy, but bff/n had stopped you.

"Uh-uh. He's gotta have the obligatory boyfriend inspection!" She'd said, and you figured it couldn't be much worse than Nadjia Chamack or Alya.

"Yeah yeah, but nothing too intense. Nothing super personal."

"I know, I can't find out his identity, but I can still find out what I need to make sure he's alright."

"Bff/n, he's a superhero! Of course he's alright!"

"We'll see." She says, pretending to be ominous, but ends up laughing.

"Can I at least tell him you'll be here?"

"No no, I want it to be a surprise. If he knows he could make up a story!" She teases.

"As if!"

"Ooh! We should prank him!"

"How?"

"I dunno. I'll think of something, don't worry."

"Oh I wasn't worried."

"Good."

You laugh and playfully roll your eyes.

By the time everyone else had gone to bed, with the instructions to be quiet, you and bff/n, were sitting on your bed, trying to not laugh too loudly at each other.

"Hey, what time does Cat usually come over?" Bff/n asks.

You check the clock, to see it's just after 10.

"Uh, about now, actually."

"Good. Go to the balcony!"

"Okay? Are you coming too?"

"Nope! And remember, don't tell him that I'm here!"

"Whatever." You just shrug and do as she says.

Stepping outside, and leaving the door open upon request, you wait by the railing.

It's not long before you can see him, jumping from roof to roof.

He quickly arrives, and drops beside you.

"Hi Angel!" He says.

"Hey Kitty!" You reply, and give him a hug, which he gladly returns.

After pulling apart, he stands beside you against the rails, leaving one arm around your shoulders.

"Another beautiful night, huh?" He remarks.

"Yep. It's gorgeous."

"Though not as gorgeous as you."

"There you go again, Mr. Cheesy." You say laughing, but blushing nonetheless.

"What can I say? I like to be truthful."

Before you can answer, though you are a bit glad since you don't know what to say, you hear,

"Well well well. Look what the angel dragged in. A cat!"

"What the?!" Cat says, spinning around to see bff/n leaning against the balcony doorframe.

"Who are you?" He asks.

"Y/n/n, I can't believe you haven't told him about me!"

"Oh hush, I did!" You object.

"Um, am I missing something here?" Cat asks, still clueless.

"Kitty, this is my best friend bff/n." You say.

"Ohh, so bff/n!"

"The one and only!" She says.

"Y/n, why didn't you tell me she was here? I wouldn't have bothered you." Cat says.

"First of all, you're not a bother, and second, she wanted to meet you." You explain.

"Yep! You can't just go around dating my bestie without at least meeting me!" Bff/n jumps in.

"Oh, well here I am." He says, slightly shrugging.

"Here you are." Bff/n repeats.

"I'm gonna need to ask you some questions." She says.

"Uh, like what? I can't reveal my identity though, so don't even try that angle."

"I know about all that, nothing too personal."

"Ok, good."

"So, when exactly did you start dating?"

"About two weeks ago, when Hawkmoth was defeated." Cat answers.

"And when was your first kiss?"

"Bff/n! That's a little personal, don't ya think?" You interrupt.

"I don't mind if you don't." Cat says.

"Oh I don't care, I just didn't know if you would." You respond.

"Nah. It was when I was akumatized, right? It gets a little fuzzy."

"Yeah, that's right. You remember that?"

"Of course!"

"Wow, I thought you would've forgotten."

"Nefur!" He puns.

"Oh yeah! You said he likes puns!" Bff/n says.

"Yep, the dumber the better." You tease.

"Pawlease! My puns are furry clawver and hisstericle!"

"Jeez, don't strain yourself." Bff/n jokes.

"They're as natural as can be!" He says.

"No way, it's unnatural to make as many puns as you do." You remark.

"Well it's unnatural to be as purrty as you are!" He shoots back.

"A compliment inside a pun, I love it!" Bff/n laughs.

"He does it often." You tell her.

"Don't act like you don't like it." He teases.

"I nefur said I didn't."

"Oh gosh, you're infecting her!" Bff/n says in mock horror.

"Better watch out, or it'll get you too!" You say.

"It couldn't!"

"Purrhaps it could!" Cat says.

"Nooooo!" Bff/n wails, making you all laugh.

"You're alright Cat, I approve." She says, to which he replies,

"I could say the same about you!"

"Good. I need my favorite people to get along!" You say.

"You shouldn't have to worry about that. Now do the thing!" Bff/n insists, and you know what she means, so you go and wrap your arms around Cat, and rest your head on his chest, making him start purring.

"Hey! No fair!" He protests, so you pull away with a giggle.

"I just had to prove it!" You say.

"Yeah yeah. You're a meanie."

"But I'm your meanie." You say, looking innocent.

"Mmmhhmm." He says, sticking out his tongue at you, making you laugh.

For the next while all three of you stay on the balcony talking and laughing, and after Cat leaves for the night you and bff/n go back inside.

"So, what did you think?" You ask.

"I think you're a good match. I'm happy for you."

"Thanks bff/nn." You say, grinning.
