Once they got off the roller coaster, Marinette ran behind Alya, pushing herself into the comfort and protection of the blogger. Nino followed out confused, and looked to Adrien,"Dude. What, did you do?"
Adrien continued to give them a wide a cheeky smile, as he watched Marinette try to become invisible to all eyes. Alya looked to her BFF confused.
"Girl, what is up with you?" she glared at Adrien,"Agreste! What did you say to her?"
Adrien glanced at Marinette, who slowly peeked out from behind Alya, to see if what she had heard was correct, and that it wasn't just her getting caught up in the thrill of the roller coaster. Adrien looked her dead in the eye and smiled lovingly.
"Only what I'll be telling her till death do us part."
Nino and Alya watched in utter confusion, as Marinette turned into a tomato. Adrien grabbed said girls hand, and pulled it up to his mouth,"Every morning when we wake, every night before bed… and every time we kiss."
He leaned in and kissed her hand before whispering into her ear,"I love you."
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is when the tomato with blue pigtails, became ketchup, melting into goo in Adriens grasp. Alya and Nino thought about Adriens answers for a bit, before their eyes lit up in understanding. Nino started laughing wildly, while Alya groaned and shook her head.
"Seriously, you 2 are complete opposites. It took her an entire year to tell you, but you take less than an hour…"
Marinette came conscious again at her friends words, and she glared at the blogger,"You knew?!"
Alya shrugged, I learned about an hour ago, when he basically screamed it at Nino."
Nino continued to laugh,"You, you just- up and said it to her! In the- in the mid-middle of the r-ride… so, so that she wouldn't pass out or run! Brilliant!"
As he continued laughing, Alya scoffed and rolled her eyes,"Yeah, brilliant. Go and give the girl a heart attack why don't ya?"
Marinette stood to move, but Adrien wasn't having that. He kept her wrapped up in his arms, and he hugged her close, letting his mouth drop to the top of her head. Marinette squirmed in his arms,"Adri-eeen! Let me goooo…"
Marinette lightly squirmed in his arms, playing that she wanted him to let her go, even though she wanted him to continue holding her(not that she'd ever tell him). Adrien hummed into her hair.
"Nope~ I've waited waaaay too long for this moment. I'm not ever gonna let you go."
Marinette blushed deeply, and started to sputter indignantly, but Plagg interrupted her thoughts.
'Kid, calm down. You had to expect this at some point.'
'Well I didn't Plagg! I never even expected him to return my feelings, more or less display them right away! In public no less…'
'What, did you expect your relationship to be a private thing?'
"No but, well- yeah! What will his dad think, or Chloe, or-'
"Marinette?"
Marinette was pulled out of her conversation with Plagg, when Alya called her name. Alya smiled and shook her head.
"I knew you weren't listening, or else you'd be freaking out right about now."
"Huh?"
Marinette looked down, to see that Adrien was no longer holding her. Dang it. She looked towards Alya and Nino, but only to see the later was gone. She looked around confused,"Where's Adrien and Nino?"
Alya smirked,"Well, Nino mentioned how Adrien's dad wouldn't be happy about him being in a relationship-"
'Wait for it…' Plagg told her.
Alya smiled cheekily,"So he and Nino stepped aside to call his dad and tell him the good news~"
'There it is!'
"HE WHAT?!'
Marinette turned towards where Alya next pointed, and went pale at the sight of Adrien on the phone, with little hearts dancing above him. Nino just waved at the girls, but whatever Adrien said next made the DJ freeze up and double over in laughter. Adrien made a shushing sign to Nino, looked to Marinette and winked. Marinettes eyes widened in panic and she ran over. When she was in arms length of him , he grabbed her hand and smiled cheerfully.
"-actually, she's with me right now! You should see her outfit, she designed it herself, and it's beyond gorgeous!"
Tikki sighed silently,'Adrien, you are seriously killing this girl…'
Marinette turned beet red and tried to grab the phone,"A-a-a-adrien! S-stop it! It's not that amazing, just something I whipped up earlier today-"
Adrien smiled wider,"Wow, even better! It looks so amazing, and to think you did it all today!"
Adrien suddenly took a picture of heer and texted it to his dad. Marinette froze up and squeaked.
Adrien put the phone to his ear and smiled enthusiastically,"What do you think, pretty amazing, isn't it?"
A second later Adrien smiled somehow even wider,"Sure, thanks!"
With that, he hung up and smiled down to Marinette,"Hey Marinette, would your parents mind if i stole you away tonight for dinner? My dad says to invite you over, so he could meet his future daughter in law~"
Nino laughed even harder than before, and Alya came over with a sigh,"You guys are going to be the death of me…"
Marinette turned so red, that someone could have considered Tikki a shade of light pink. Plagg sighed.
'Kid, just say you need to go to the bathroom real quick.'
Marinette nodded,"Quick! Go t-to, the umm uh- B-bathroom BYE!"
Marinette didn't even bother to try and correct herself as she ran off towards the bathroom. She checked all the stalls, and upon seeing them all empty, she locked the door and let Plagg out. He zipped out and gave his chosen a sigh.
"Well, in all honesty," Plagg started,"I was expecting worse."
Marinette groaned and started to splash water onto her face. Thankfully, her makeup was waterproof.
"Plagg, what is happening? Why is he acting this way?"
Plagg shrugged,"Like I said earlier today, he's starting to like you back."
Marinette dried her face,"Yeah but, why?! What did I do today that's so different?"
Plagg looked at her sadly,"Kid… I need to tell you something…"
Plagg floated up to her gently,"Adrien is… Beatle Rouge."
Marinettes eyes widened,"Does he-?"
Plagg nodded and Marinette looked down. A second later, Marinette gave a light laugh,"That's what all this is about. The dress obviously gave me away, what with the expensive fabric that he was obviously able to obtain from his father. Him liking me was just because of me being Chatte Noire… He doesn't like Marinette, just-"
Marinette coked on her words as Tears started to fall. Plagg flew towards her rapidly and hugged her cheek, while nuzzling into her.
"Kid, stop it, you know that isn't true. You are Chatte Noire! He can't like just one of you. You're one in the same, the only difference being that Chatte wears black leather and cat extensions that she can control. He does love you, and if he doesn't, well…"
Plagg flew back and gave her a serious glare,"I'll make sure he lives the rest of his life in the bad luck and destruction that even hell couldn't take."
Marinette gave him a light smile,"Thanks Plagg. You're the best…"
Plagg smiled at her,"And don't you forget it!"
About an hour later, Alya and Nino decided to make up a terrible excuse to leave, and they left the 2 heros alone. Marinette and Adrien waved them goodbye, before disappeared from sight. Marinette gulped and looked up to Adrien nervously,"Umm, A-adrien?"
Adrien smiled down to her,"Yeah?"
Marinette gulped and Plagg silently reminded her to stay calm, and go to their plan. Marinette smiled a little at remembering the devious trick Plagg wanted to pull. Time to pull on some heartstrings. Marinette smiled up at him sweetly,"Weeell~ Since we're going to your house for dinner anyways, could we go now? I want to look at your closet, and see some of the things your dad designed in person. Please?"
Adrien stared at her wide eyed before giving a cheery smile with moe flowers above him,"Of course!"
Adrien was beyond happy that Marinette seemed to be excited and pleased, thinking that she would have instead been nervous or scared to go. He took her hand and kissed it lovingly.
"I would be more than delighted to."
Marinettes brow raised before she scoffed lightly and stole back her hand. "Come on Agreste, stop kissing my hand and take me to your bedroom already."
A beat of silence passed, as Marinette realized what she had just said. Plagg tried to hold in his laughter, but failed miserably. Adrien could faintly hear the small Kwami, but he didn't care. His smile widened like the Cheshire Cat's.
Marinette slowly turned her head to look at him,"Okay, t-that came o-o-out wrong. I-i d-didn't mean it like that, and- Adrien!"
Marinette squeaked at how he was looking at her. He came up to her, leaned in, and whispered into her ear.
"Well, with you, I wouldn't have minded if that's what you had meant."
Tikki glared up at her chosen,"Adrien!"
Plagg laughed harder at hearing his other half scold her chosen, but neither wielders heard the 2 kwami's. Marinette blushed for a second, before she shook it off, and gave him a sly and teasing grin.
"Who knows, if you're good, we'll see~"
Plagg fell over in his laughter, having made it so that his mouth was smothered by the cloth of the purse, which helped cover up some of his laughter, that grew in volume. Adrien turned red at this.
"I-i uhm, uh, w-w-what?!"
Marinette smiled and booped the tip of his nose with her finger.
"Now you know how it feels to be teased~"
Marinette turned and started to head off in the direction of the Agreste mansion. Once there, Natalie opened the front door for them, and led them in.
"Adrien, Marinette."
Adrine smiled,"Hey Natalie. We're just going to be in my room. We'll be down for dinner later."
Natalie nodded,"Yes. Your father is looking forward to meeting you…" She looked at Marinette,"Girlfriend."
Marinette stopped in her tracks, and Adrien gulped. She slowly turned to level a glare on him.
"Adrien Agreste…"
Adrien jumped lightly from the venom he heard on his name when she said it. She came up closer to him and spoke carefully.
"Did you tell your father… that I was your Girlfriend?"
Adrien looked everywhere but at her."Ummm, m-maybe?"
Natalie looked confused,"You, aren't?"
Marinette didn't here her though. She rose her fist, and sent it flying at Adrien's face. Thankfully, his time as Beatle Rouge had given him quick reflexes, and he dodged it easily. He turned and started sprinting towards his room, laughing as she chased him just as quick.
"Adrien Agreste! How dare you tell him that without even asking me first!"
He continued to laugh,"Come on, could you really blame me? I just had to do it!"
"Adrien!"
Natalie watched silently as the 2 kids ran off. She turned and walked into Mr. Agrestes office. He looked up to her.
"Natalie, what is all that ruckus?"
Natalie cleared her throat,"That would be Adrien and Marinette, sir. Apparently, he's been calling her his girlfriend without her consent of being such."
Gabriels brow rose,"So their not a couple?"
Natalie smiled and shook her head,"Oh no, their dating alright. It's just the same situation you and Emilie were in at their age."
She turned and left the office, humming lightly as Gabriel watched her leave. He sighed, remembering how him and Emilie had acted st that age. He would love to tease her and make her embarrassed, while she would get mad at him, but would forgive and love him seconds later. He smiled lightly at the memories. He had no doubt that Marinette would make his son happy.
Inside of Adrien's room, Adrien was laying on his couch, with Marinette sitting on his back, like he was a bean bag. She started to turn on the gaming station, as Adrien complained.
"Mariiiiii! Please let me up? I'm sorry I told them that, but I couldn't stand it not being true for so long."
Marinette flicked his forehead with her fingers,"No. You're just going to have to deal with the pain."
Adrien sat up his head and looked over his shoulder to her,"Pain? What pain? You're lighter than a feather, and I'm stronger than a bull. Sorry Princess, but if you're trying to give me punishment, than this is pleasure. My beautiful girlfriend, sitting on top of me? You can ask any guy in the world, and they'll tell you, this is a teenage boys heaven."
Marinette blushed deeply, and hit his shoulder hard,"S-shut up!"
Adrien chuckled as Marinette started the game up. Suddenly, she remembered back to her plan, and smiled. She laid down a bit, so that the side of her head was resting onto the back of his. She hummed lightly.
"A-dri-en~"
His eyes widened at the teasing and sinful voice she used.
"C'mooon… didn't you want to take me to your bedroom for a reason?"
Adrien stiffened at this, and slowly turned his body around under her, so that she was now laying on his front, and they could look into the others eyes. She managed to hide her blush, and instead batted her eyes flirtatiously.
"Aww, c'mon Adrien! You talk all big, but can you really back it all up? I guess our little sunshine child doesn't have an evil bone in his built body."
Something inside of Adriens eyes flickered, and he smiled mischievously. "An evil bone you say? Well then, princess, I think I may just surprise you/"
Marinette blinked,"Huh? Eep!"
Adrien used one hand to grab her by the waist, and put the other behind her head. Before she could even react , he pulled her face closer, and kissed her on the cheek. He accidently ghosted the ends of her lips. Blue eyes now wide in realization of what was happening, Marinette sat up quickly, but fell backwards, onto the other end of the couch, her head hitting her purse onto the floor. From Inside the bag, both teens heard 2 voices, both male and female, shout.
"Ouch!" they both called.
Adrien and Marinette both sat up in shock and turned to her bag.
"Tikki!" "Plagg!"
Silence enveloped the room, as they both froze at what they had said. A minute of nothing passed, before Plagg ever so slowly, floated out, rubbing the top of his head, that hit the floor.
"Welp, I guess you could say-"
Tikki zipped out,"NO!"
Plagg smirks chaakily,"The CATS out of the BAG!"
Seconds passed, until Adrien and Plagg burst out laughing at the kwami's pun.
