Last Time...

"It's nothing. Especially after everything that happened today," he said back. And then they both walked out of the store hand in hand.

Marinette's POV

My heart is beating so loudly right now, that the whole world could hear it. I can feel my cheeks burning a bright red, with my lips stuck in a giddy smile. I nervously look up at Adrien to see him blushing like crazy; looking like a deer in headlights once I catch his gaze. He looks away quickly and grasps my hand tighter to let me know he's just as embarrassed. I look back down at my shoes as we continue walking and I smile to myself. We are just about to cross the street and enter the bakery when I pull Adrien away from the crosswalk.

"T-the thing is," I say while pushing my pointer fingers together, "I wouldn't want to interrupt my parents during work so...um...let's take the back entrance. Okay?"

Adrien smiles and says "Okay." We wait for the light to turn red again, and I drag Adrien across the street, into the building, up the stairs, and into the house. Once we are safely inside, I let go of his hand. As we walk up the flight of stairs to my room, I trip on the baggy sweatpants I'm wearing. Adrien catches me, wrapping one arm around my abdomen, and I let out a little squeal of pain.

Adrien slides his arm up to underneath my boobs. He instantaneously puts his head right next to my ear and whispers, "Sorry Marinette." It sends a chill down my spine, and I can feel his warm presence pressed against the back side of my body. "I wish I wasn't such a klutz," I whisper back. "I like your klutziness a lot. And I don't care if that's not a word."

We both giggle and stay in this position for a minute until he slowly pulls away, still keeping his arm wrapped around me, and somehow manages to pick me up princess style. He carries me up the rest of the stairs, opens the trap door, and plops me down on my bed. When I sit up, I see the posters of Adrien. I jump out of bed and run over to them.

I try to rip them down before he sees them, but it's too late. Adrien starts laughing at me and I can feel heat rush to my face. "I'm sorry...I know it's really lame," I mutter weakly. He suddenly stops laughing and lifts my chin so that he can see my face. "Mari," he says seriously, "I have a secret."

He takes a deep breath.

"I am actually a huge ladybug fanboy. I have all her posters, action figures, toys, I've read ladybug Fanfiction; this...is nothing. I think it's really cute that you have my posters...and I just hope you can accept how nerdy I am."

I smile as I wrap him in a big hug. I nuzzle my head into the crook of his neck, and he wraps his arms around me tight.

"Thank you," I say, loosening my grip, "but you should probably go home now. I-I mean not that I want you to go...its just that I'm all settled now and I wouldn't want to make you feel obligated to help me even more."

"If I didn't want to help you, I wouldn't have come here in the first place, Marinette."

"But what about your fathe-"

"What about my father," he says mischievously, cutting me off.

I only giggle in response, but for a quick second I see a small resemblance to a silly black cat who fights crime. And it kind of scares me.

"Adrien...I...I'm gonna go into the bathroom to clean up. Okay?"

"Okay...but take your time."

There's a long silence between us until I finally say something.

"I'm going to be taking a shower so I just wanted to let you know. Um...so it didn't scare you."

I quickly grabbed a towel and ran into the bathroom, closing the door behind me. I turned on the light and the fan exhaust. I took off my blood soaked pants and underwear, and then proceeded to remove my sweatshirt and bra. I turned on the shower and stepped in. With both the exhaust and shower going, it was very hard for Adrien to hear what was going on in here. I imagined Adrien and I having passionate sex, and I suddenly became very turned on. Oh my god! I can't be thinking about this right now!

But even as I said that to myself, I couldn't help thinking about his muscles, and how it would feel to run her hands through his hair...and I couldn't help the fact his name slipped through my lips.

"Adrien..." I moaned super loudly.

"Mari...are you okay in there?!"

Shit. Shit. Shitty. Shit. FML. I'm so screwed.

"I'm fine Adrien...I...I just remembered that...that I didn't bring any clothes with me!"

"Oh okay! I'll bring some in for you if you don't mind."

"That'd be great!"

Releasing a breath I had been holding without realizing it, I felt instantly relieved with his clueless reaction. I continued with the rest of my shower, washing my hair, shaving my legs, and scrubbing my body, until I felt all clean. I turned off the water, and walked out of the shower. I grabbed my towel and wrapped around my body just as he walked in.

We both start to blush and he frantically starts apologizing.

"M-Marinette I so s-sorry!"

"It's ok Adrien," I reply calmly.

He instantly looks relieved.

"Well, a-anyways...I brought you some clothes, and here's the bag with your um...'lady supplies' in it...well...I'll be in your room."

He runs out of the bathroom, and shuts the door quickly behind himself. I look down at the pile of clothes before me. Pajamas? It's not like I have any objections...but it's kind os odd. I get dressed and as I'm putting on a pad, I realize that Adrien went through all my underwear and picked out a pair. How embarrassing! However I just shake off the thought and start to open the bathroom door when I feel resistance from the other side.

"Um Adrien...I'm done getting changed so can I come out of the bathroom now?"

"But it's not finished yet."

"What's not finished?"

"It's a surprise for my princess. I-I mean you're my princess for the day so I'm going to take extra special care of you."

I can only blush because of how sweet that is, but something about his response is unsettling.

Since when did Adrien call me princess?
