In My Feelings

It was a peaceful evening in Paris, for once. The sun was setting and the bright lights of the street lamps were just beginning to glow. There were a few tourists still out, but Paris was winding down from the hectic day. Marinette sat nursing a nice cup of hot coffee on the small balcony outside of her apartment. "Finally, a nice and quiet night in Paris. Haven't had one of these for a while, have we Tikki?" Marinette glanced over at her kawami, smiling happily.

Tikki sat on the table beside Marinette's sofa chair munching on her dinner. She shared the smile with Marinette, her eyes crinkling. "It has been a long time coming. All of the crazy events of owning a new company, changing apartments, saving Paris, and training new superheroes can really take some time. You deserve the break."

Marinette leaned her head back and looked into the sky. There was too much light pollution to see any stars, but that did not stop her from admiring the night sky.

"Where is Adrien tonight?" Tikki asked. She pulled a small patchwork blanket over her tiny body and snuggled against the head of the chair as she felt a brisk breeze tickle her antennas.

Marinette shrugged. "He's probably working on the term papers that his students turned in. He likes to work in his office at the school; less distractions." Marinette sighed discontentedly. "I wish he was home, though. We haven't hung out in ages, even though we live together." There was a ding from her phone beside her, and Marinette reached out to glance at the screen. Alya had texted some weird meme, and Marinette rolled her eyes, leaving the message on read. Another few seconds passed before there was another ding, and then another. The peaceful night was soon muffled by the dance party Alya was creating. Marinette growled, finally giving in to look at the messages. There were a few from Alya, as well as Luka and Kagami. Alya's messages consisted of Ladybug and Chat memes from the battle with Luciole. Each meme had a gif of Ladybug and Chat staring at each other while either Cygnus or Loupa running behind them. A slight blush dusted Marinette's cheeks as she quickly typed a response.

Marinette: Stop being mean! :-( I swear we were paying attention!

Alya: This is your punishment for not telling me that you and Adrien were dating!

Marinette rolled her eyes again as she took a glance at the other messages.

Luka had several messages asking what he should wear to dinner that night to meet Loupa, and whether or not he should show her his new songs. Marinette smiled a little as she reminded him that he would be in his super suit; there would be no dressing up.

Kagami on the other hand was telling her about how annoying Cygnus was. She was asking Marinette to politely tell Cygnus to shut the hell up and stop texting her through her kawami. Yoon was about willing to knock the boy's lights out. Marinette complied and sent a quick message to both, reminding them to have a fun 'date', before she silenced both chats. Marinette leaned back in her chair and took a deep breath. "Finally some peace and quiet."

Marinette closed her eyes, and felt herself drifting off to sleep when a rather sharp rock flew onto her thigh. She cried out in pain and looked at the rock that had decided to interrupt her peaceful evening. Not soon after, another, a much larger rock was thrown onto the balcony, nearly missing her head. Marinette grabbed the rocks and made her way angrily to the edge of her balcony. Below her was a young man playing with several rocks in his hand. With good aim, and a strong arm, Marinette lobbed both rocks at the boy's head. The young man looked up, startled. His face was covered in the shadow of his hood, so Marinette couldn't quite tell who it was, but at that moment, she could care less.

"Watch What You're Doing With THOSE ROCKS YOUNG MAN! You could knock someone out!" Marinette yelled. She caught a glint of a smile as another rock whizzed past her ear. Marinette quickly leaned out of the way. She glared daggers at the young boy below her. "DON'T MAKE ME COME DOWN THERE, MISTER! I may be small, but I will drag you by your ear to your parent's doorstep!" Marinette warned, taking off one of her slippers and waving it threateningly.

The boy quickly dropped the rocks and put his hands up in surrender. His shoulders were shaking with what Marinette assumed was fear. Only when his hood fell did she notice he was laughing. The bright face of Adrien Agreste smiled up at her and Marinette's shoulders slumped. "ADRIEN! Are you insane!? What the hell were you doing?!" Marinette called down to him in disbelief.

Adrien shrugged, putting his hands in his pockets. "I wanted to get your attention!" He yelled back. He grinned cheekily as Marinette shook her head.

"You are nothing but Trouble, mister," was all Marinette could reply with. She shook her head, but let a small smile grace her features.

Adrien shrugged his shoulders again. "I'm okay with that…but now that I've got your attention…" Adrien leaned down to a stereo that was at his feet and he flicked it on. The heavy beat of a rap song blared from the speakers. The bass nearly rocked the apartment building.

"Adrien turn that music down! You're gonna have the police called on us!" Marinette scrambled around the edge of the balcony as simultaneously looked up and down the street trying to see if anyone was out as well as trying to find a place to hide in embarassment. She was very sure that one of their lower neighbors, who was on the older side, would call with a noise complaint. Marinette just hoped she wouldn't get dragged into this even more than was necessary.

Adrien didn't seem to care as he started to move to the beat, winking up at her. A blush rose to her cheeks as she watched Adrien from just below the railing of her balcony.

As the bass hit and the song got to its first verse, Adrien started to dance along to certain choreographed moves while screaming the words: "Kiki! Do you love me? Are you riding? Say you'll never ever leave from beside me… 'Cause I want ya, and I need ya… and I'm down for you always!"

Marinette ducked her head in embarrassment and squeaked. "This is not happening, right?" she asked Tikki behind her. Tikki had Marinette's phone in front of her taking a video of Adrien. Tikki gave Marinette a mischievous shrug as she focused on the screen again. Marinette squeaked again, but let her eyes focus on Adrien again.

Adrien made a heart with his hands and walked up and down the sidewalk in front of their building continuing to sing along. He caught Marinette's eye and he smiled sweetly at her. He dramatically blew a kiss at her and winked, knowing it would make her flustered and angry at the same time. "LB? Do you love me? Are you riding? Say you'll never ever leave from beside me…'Cause I want ya…and I need ya…And I'm down for you always!" Marinette's hands rose to hide her face, but her gaze never strayed from Adrien's performance as she watched from between her fingers. It was honestly horrendous, and people were even stopping on the street to laugh and take videos, but Adrien didn't seem to care. He just kept on smiling up at Marinette with an adoring smile that Marinette knew was just for her. His father is going to kill him once these videos come out, Marinette thought. I'm gonna kill him.

The song just kept on going for several minutes and Marinette was feeling ready to get in a hole and never come out of it. She loved Adrien, and she knew the feeling was reciprocated. Little actions to show their love was fine, but this was a little much. It was adorable and funny, but just a little embarrassing. Marinette watched with a small laugh as she saw Adrien spin around then drop into a squat attempting to twerk, but failing miserably. "I love that idiot," Marinette whispered.

As the song came to an end, Adrien dipped down with a great bow and waved at the fans around him. He blew a kiss up to Marinette, making a big show out of it. Marinette bit her lip and ducked her head. She gave a small smile at Adrien as she rolled her eyes. "You crazy cat!" she called.

Adrien continued to grin. "Do you want me to do it again?" He asked, sounding like an overly hyper kitten.

"Hon, if I were you, I'd stop making all that racket and go home to your girl before I whap you one!" An old lady, about two stories below Marinette's and Adrien's apartment, was leaning out of the window with a nest of hair curlers piled on top of her head. "I have had to deal with you two for every morning for the past year waking me from my slumber with your terrible screeches. Please just save me for one night and morning, I beg you. Turn that stereo off and go on home."

"Sweetie, just leave the youngsters alone. He's just trying to be romantic; it's the thought that counts," a man from the old lady's apartment called softly. The old lady whipped her head back inside.

"Shut up, Phil. I want sleep, and I'm going to get it tonight, not when I'm dead!" The woman snapped her head out the window and growled again at Adrien. "You hear that, young man?"

Everyone on the street, including Adrien, cowered at the volume of her voice, but remained where they were. They were all a little scared of her, but honestly wanted to know what was going to happen next.

"Breath, Rebecca," said her husband. The old lady rolled her eyes, but she closed them and forced herself to breath. A thin smile spread across her face. The smile kind of made her look like she just ate a ferret.

"Would you mind going inside dear, and keeping it down." The old woman took a glance up at Marinette. "I'm sure she is waiting for you." She gave one last smile before slamming her window closed.

Adrien's hand flew to the back of his neck, and he had the decency to blush. "Yes, ma'am," Adrien murmured quickly pulling his hood down properly and turning off his stereo. He placed it carefully in his arms and ran into the apartment building, finding his way up five flights of stairs to return to his and Marinette's apartment looking like a wet kitten.

Marinette's face was still bright red as she opened the door for him and ushered him in. From the balcony the two could still hear hooting and hollering from the streets. Adrien laughed nervously as he caught Marinette's slightly angered features. "Sorry about that," Adrien whispered sheepishly.

Marinette shook her head at him, but a smile broke through and she struggled to keep a straight face. "I love you, but why do I have to be stuck with the craziest kitten in the world?" Marinette kissed Adrien's cheek and pulled the stereo away from him. "I don't think I can let you listen to American music anymore though. I think the music is getting to your head."

Adrien opened his mouth in outrage. "I'm not going crazy! It's good music." He paused before he reached for another kiss and grabbed the stereo from Marinette's hold again as soon as his lips touched hers. "I'm glad to hear you love me, LB."

Marinette huffed and grabbed out for the stereo, but Adrien danced out of the way. "Come back here!"

"Never!" Adrien cried, running from the room with Marinette close behind. They raced around their small apartment, but soon the fight over the stereo was forgotten as they ended up falling asleep on their shared bed, faces nuzzled together.


Hey readers! I lied; I had one more chapter ready for you guys. I heard the song one day over the summer and knew it had to be a part of the story, especially because of the nicknames. This is officially the end of Shower Talk, but who knows if I'll hear a song and want to have Marinette and Adrien dance to it. Thank you again for reading this story. Until I write again, TTFN!
