Without further ado, I bring to you, 'Safe and Warm'

Around mid afternoon I hear a cheery knock at the door.

"Who is it?" I call out from in the bathroom, as I braid back my hair.

"Girl, only your future Maid of Honor." Alya teases as she makes her way in through the front door. I squeak and my face flushes. Butterflies stir in my stomach at the thought of making my way down the aisle to Adrien, who would stand at the altar. It takes me a moment to regain my composure but when I do I send a sarcastic remark her way.

"And what about you and Nino, Hmm? Has he finally gotten up the guts to propose yet? It's not like he hasn't been pinning for you for years now."

Alya appears in the doorway with a bright red flush to her cheeks. "Sh-Shut up Mari!" She gasps.

"Plus Adrien and I have only just started dating. Where do you think he's taking me for our first official date?" I ask changing the subject.

"Ohh don't worry about it, I know where you're going and you're gonna absolutely love it!" Alya gushes.

My eyes widen and I grab hold of Alya's shoulders and begin to shake her.

"You have to tell me where we're going! Am I wearing appropriate clothes? What should I expect?" I beg.

"I have been sworn to secrecy!" Alya declares. "But I can tell you that you're going to want to wear something casual and cute but not everyday clothes. Preferably pants and a sweater."

I nod quietly before making my way into my room and rummage through my closet.

After a minute or two I pull out a cute pair of white wash jeans and a pale pink sweater.

In the half an hour before Adrien is meant to pick me up Alya helps me with my makeup and fixing my hair. We choose a simple and adorable look which 'compliments my innocent figure' or so Alya says.

When the guys finally arrive, Alya gets the door and Nino enters first. I'm standing in the kitchen trying to calm my nerves when I see him.

He's wearing a green button up shirt with the sleeves rolled up, a black open vest over top, and a pair of dark wash jeans.

My heart skips a beat when he pulls out a bouquet of Daisies and Daffodils from behind his back and offers them to me.

I send him a coy smile in return.

"They're beautiful." I admit as I take them from him.

Adrien rubs the back of his neck. "Y-Yeah…"

Nino comes up behind Adrien and slaps his back. "He spent a good twenty minutes researching the right flowers that had the right meaning to give to you."

My eyes widen and I glance at Adrien noticing his newfound blush.

"Nino shut up!" Adrien hisses before turning back to me with an awkward smile.

"What do they mean?" I ask.

"New beginnings, innocence and… loyal love." He mumbles the last part.

My face burns.

"Love?" I mumble in question.

Adrien looks back at Alya and Nino who are pretending like they aren't eavesdropping.

"Can you guys uhm… give us some privacy?" he asks, startling the culprits. Alya and Nino nod and collect their things before heading out with simple goodbyes.

When the door finally closes behind them Adrien turns back to me. runs a hand through his hair and closes his eyes.

"I never got a chance to tell you when I asked you out but I do love you, more than anything…" He admits

I set the flowers down on the counter and step closer to him. I stand up on my tip toes only to find I'm much too short to kiss him. I wrap my arms behind his neck and pull him into a kiss. Adrien freezes for a moment or two before relaxing. I let the kiss speak for me Pouring all of my affection and love into the kiss. Our kiss isn't desperate or needy. It's not passionate or kinky. It's simply loving and hopeful. When he kisses back I don't feel sparks or fireworks in my chest like they say you will in the movies.

Instead I feel safe and warm in his arms. I feel more loved than I ever have before. I feel drawn to him.

When we pull away Adrien flashes me a lovesick smile that I'm sure I'm wearing as well.

"I love you too." I admit.
