Hello, people, I decided to write an Adrienette fan fiction! I love this ship as much as you all do! I hope you enjoy this story!

Adrien knew his flirting with Ladybug wouldn't work while he was known as Chat Noir, and he definitely didn't want to flirt with her as himself which would make his father and Paris angry at him.

He sighed in defeat. He knew his lady would never accept him. He wondered why, but now he was over it. Maybe he would have to move on and start paying attention to some other girls. Other girls such as Marinette.

Marinette...he truly admired her kindness, her talents, and her bravery to stand up to Chloe when no one else did. He knew she had a crush on him even if he seemed to be oblivious to her feelings. He just didn't want to embarrass her by reciprocating her crush. Beyond that, he didn't want to ruin their comfortable friendship. Now that he thought about, he thought that he should give him and Marinette a chance. Marinette deserved to be happy after all she had done for people. Of course, he decided from day one that Marinette was to be his second choice if things didn't work out with Ladybug.

Plagg was inspecting his chosen who was in deep thought. He smiled to himself. This kid is growing up, he thought sagely.

Marinette was late as usual the next day, tripping at her own feet as she ran to school. She flung the door open and landed on her face.

The class fell silent. She laughed nervously as she was on her feet again. She shamley walked to her seat. Adrien turned slightly with a small smile dancing on his lips. Her face grew a lovely shade of pink as she smiled sheepishly back.

Marinette felt a nudge on the shoulder. She looked over to see Alya with an interested expression painted on her face. Marinette shrugged. She slept so late last night that she couldn't think straight. Stupid Akumas.

Marinette hadn't realized she slept during class.

"Marinette?" she felt a shake on her arm gently. "Marinette?"

She groaned. "Five more minutes."

The voice chuckled. "Come on, Mari. We're the only ones here."

She groaned once more and yawned. "Fine," she grumbled, raising her head and rubbing her eyes. She looked around the empty classroom and her gaze shifted to a pair of beautiful green eyes. "A-Adrien?!"

He smiled. "Rise and shine," he helped her pack up. "What time did you sleep?"

She sighed. Her blush faded. "Very late, to be honest."

He nodded. "I did too, actually. Anyway...I'll help you with the notes. Nathalie cleared my schedule today so I'm free."

Marinette smiled. "Thanks, Adrien. I hope I don't be a burden."

"Not at all, Marinette," he slung his bag on his shoulder. She did too and they both walked out.

Adrien breathed into the Paris air as he and Marinette strolled down to the bakery. Marinette felt awkward around him as always, but he didn't mind. He hoped the intense feeling between them will waver. "So…" he began, "Any new designs you're working on?"

"Oh," she grinned shyly. "I was working on a Ladybug and Chat Noir sweatshirts. I planned to keep the Chat Noir one for myself and give the Ladybug one to anyone who wants it."

Adrien was eager for it. "May I?" he blurted out.

She raised an eyebrow. "I never knew you were a Ladybug fan."

"I...am. A big one."

She giggled. "Then it's sold just for you. I just need your measurements."

"No problem. I'll get them from Nathalie and let you know."

She pushed the back door open and walked up the stairs. She froze. Oh, shoot. She needed to clean up her room!

She turned to Adrien with rosy cheeks. "Would you mind waiting in the living room? I have to clean up my room."

"Sure, and forgive me asking, but can I have some snacks?"

She nodded happily. "Mamam and Papa don't mind. Make yourself at home," she went upstairs.

Adrien sat down and took out his assignments. Plagg flew out and whistled. "Kid, you know I highly recommend her to be your girlfriend. She lives in the bakery, and that means more camembert," he licked his lips.

Adrien rolled his eyes. "Is that the only thing you approve of her of?"

"Nope. But it is the top of my list."

Adrien shook his head. He really loved his kwami, but he's always a pig when is comes to cheese. Camembert specifically.

Adrien was finally a lower in Marinette's room which was tidy and neat. Marinette informed him she would get some snacks at once.

While she was gone, Adrien looked around the pink room. He saw a Jagged Stone poster, a mannequin, sketches on walls, and...wait. A poster of him?!

"Ooh, she got it bad," Plagg snickered. He froze and cranes his neck. "Whoa, Adrien...she has your schedule on her ceiling."

Adrien glanced up to see a chart with all his plans for...well, everything. He never knew she was that obsessive of him, but he didn't mind. At least he knows she likes him for sure.

Marinette returned with croissants, pastries, and other goodies Adrien couldn't name. She set them down and stopped in her tracks. "Shoot," she blushed madly. "You...saw the picture and the board, did you?"

He didn't answer. She looked away.

"I...um…"

"Marinette, look at me," she did. Adrien smiled gently. "I don't mind. In fact, I'm just glad you do care what's going on in my life. I'm just quite surprised."

Marinette swallowed thickly. "Adrien...I have a confessio-"

"I know you like me," he stood up and rested his hands on her shoulders. "I'm sorry if I looked so oblivious about it. But...I kind of like you too, you see."

It was true; he liked her, and he was growing to love her.

She looked at him nervously. "You...you do?"

"Yeah. You're smart, sweet, talented, and brave. You're like a second Ladybug!"

She giggled. Oh, but I'm the real one, she thought amusingly.

Adrien removed his hands from her shoulders just to hold her hands. "Marinette Dupain-Cheng, will you go out with me?"

She gasped softly at this proposal, but her expression softened. "Yes."

Adrien grinned. He knows that he made a good decision.

"Um...Adrien, should we get started on our homework?"

"Oh, of course."

Meanwhile at the living room, Tom and Sabine eavesdropped on their daughter and her crush's conversation. "They're meant for each other, no?" Sabine gushed.

Tom nodded. "Hopefully he would be our son-in-law soon."

Sabine stared at her husband. "Oh, and honey, our bet?"

Tom grunted and gave cash to his wife.

So how was it? I thought it was adorable! Wait until Season 2 of Miraculous when they finally know their secrets! Who's excited?
