Hey everyone! Crazy Fangirl here with another adrienette story. This time is an AU, inspired by the prompt "I write bad pick up lines everytime i'm your barista" by cup-of-hot-coffee that i saw on the blog dailyau. Enjoy!

'Beep, beep, beep'

Marinette groaned, smashing the alarm's clock button. She rubbed her eyes, slowly adjusting to the light coming from the window. She yawned as she stretched, feeling tired as ever. The student went through her routine like zombie, doing everything automatically. After getting dressed and preparing her stuff for the day, she finally got to one of her favorite moments of the day: coffee.

The Dupain-Cheng girl couldn't work without coffee. She needed her usual dose of caffeine to go through the day, especially after pulling all-nighters like the day before, where she had finished her design class assignment at 3:00 A.M, leaving her only four hours to sleep.

The bluenette opened the cabinet's door where she kept the precious source of energy, only to find emptiness. She opened her mouth in shock, and immediately turned her attention to her phone, calling her roommate and best friend, Alya. "Sorry girl" the blogger said over the phone. "I'm afraid we have run out of coffee" The girl, sleepily, bid her friend goodbye and let out a whine.

'Well' she thought 'I guess this means we're going to Starbucks'

Once she arrived to the establishment, she was relieved to see that there weren't many people. She was not going to be able to hold any human contact without her usual cup of coffee. She looked at the menu and opted for a venti mocha Frappuccino and a double chocolate muffin. After what it seemed an eternity (that really only had been around five minutes) her turn finally came.

"Welcome to Starbucks! How can I help you?" a masculine voice said.

Not even lifting her head, Marinette ordered. "I would like a Venti Mocha Frappuccino and a double chocolate muffin, please" she said in a zombie voice. She looked up to face a very attractive guy, with blond hair and green eyes, who gave her a warm smile. She felt a blush creeping on her face.

"Sure thing. Anything else?" The girl shook her head shyly. "Ok, that would be 6.45 €" he said as he took a cup and a marker. "May I know your name?"

"M-Marinette" she stuttered nervously. The designer cursed herself mentally, and also this handsome barista that made her nervous, and why was she nervous? The cute guy smirked at her before instructing her to wait while he made her drink.

The girl sat down at a table, checking on her phone. A few minutes had passed when she heard her name through the intercom. She walked towards the counter, where the cute barista was waiting with her drink and a bag with her muffin.

"Here's your order ma'am, hope you have a nice day!" he said, giving her the stuff. The student gave her an awkward smile before muttering a 'Thank you' and turning around.

After a few steps she stopped and looked at her cup in order to look for her name. The people at Starbucks would always write 'Marionette' in her cup. She found herself surprised not by the fact that her name was well written, but at the sight of something different written in the drink. The girl looked at the handwriting and let out groan once she read the phrase.

"Are we in the litter box? Because I'm digging you"

The bluenette turned to see the blond guy son the other side of the counter, smirking. They locked their gazes and he winked at her, and Marinette's face turned a crimson red for what it seemed the hundredth time in that day (It had only been the third, but who was counting?)

She left the establishment with a good coffee, a muffin, and a smile in her face, that lasted with her the whole day. Alya asked her about it when they met, but the girl could only shake her head and smile.

(Once she got home, she washed the cup and put it in her memories box. Not that she would ever admit it but she actually thought the line was kind of funny)
