The sleepover had been Alya's idea. Her parents we're out of town and she didn't want to watch her sisters by herself. Marinette, being the great friend she was, totally agreed to help Alya.

Marinette knew they were a handful. Marinette knew they twent to bed at like 7, but she and Alya probably wouldn't sleep till 2. She knew that they would bake cookies and do each other's makeup.

Marinette didn't realize that Nino was coming over too. She wasn't surprised, but a little disappointed that she lost out on best friend time. Nino was still a lot of fun.

Marinette was really shocked when Adrien showed up with Nino.

As soon as she saw him, she squeaked and hid in the bathroom.

It was going to be a long night.

...

Despite what one may think, Marinette didn't hate Adrien. She wasn't worried that he would be no fun. Despite his sheltered childhood, he was very daring and impulsive. She was totally in love with him and not prepared to admit it. She could barely speak with him.

...

Marinette took a deep breath and walked back into the kitchen. She checked the stove, 7:32. Her brief panic attack had lasted less than three minutes.

"Hey it's good to see you Nino." She said with a smile.

"Hey Marinette." He responded.

"H hi HI! Hi Adrien." She stuttered and blushed.

"Hi?" He smiled kindly, but seemed concerned.

Alya clapped her hands. "Okay now that everyone has said hello, game night has officially began."

"Game night?" Adrien questioned.

"We play monopoly until Alya falls asleep or we finish the game. It's a lot of fun."

"I've never played monopoly before." Adrien looked away.

"Don't worry bro,its super easy."

...

Marinette was going to kill Alya. Not eve n 30 minutes into the game, both Nino and Alya had mysteriously gone bankrupt.

They also had (not so) mysteriously gone to the other room to make out

Leaving Marinette alone with Adrien

He picked up a card and looked down sadly."Go directly to jail. Do not pass go. Do not collect 100$"

She smirked. "You heard the card. Go to jail."

"Well guess what?" He slammed his hand on the table. "GET OUT OF JAIL FREE CARD. YEET." He suddenly blushed and looked around, embarrassed. "Sorry, I guess I get competitive."

"It's okay, I'm the same way." She rolled the dice. "Six spaces. That puts me on boardwalk." She played down some fake cash. "And now I own it. Lat the real fun begin."

...

Adrien yawned.

Marinette yawned

Adrien saw the yawn and yawned

Marinette did the same.

Adrien realized and thought about not yawning, which made him yawn again.

Which, of course, made Marinette yawn again. "Are you tired?"

"I'm not the one yawning." Adrien laughed and then yawned. "I could keep playing all night."

...

Marinette glanced around. "I'm pretty sure Alya and Nino are asleep... so?"

"Are you saying we should quit because then I think-"

She cut him off and leaned in. "Quit? Ladybug never quits. I'm gonna play this till I win."

"Thats what just was gonna say. Play till the end... although I could use a catnap." He leaned closer. Their noses were almost touching.

She playfully pushed his nose away. "Oh Chaton i don't have time for your puns. This is war."

"M'lady, I could kiss you," he leaned in as if to kiss

"You can't distract me from this game kitty. I'm here to win."

"Buggaboo, I'd fight for you, but-" he saw Marinette's shocked face and stopped. "Bug?"

"Chat?" Her voice cracked and she looked him over.

"Maybe we should stop playing."

"Yeah, we should talk about, well, this."

"Holy Shit!" They turned to see Alya in the doorway, carrying a plate of cookies. "I missed a lot."

The two teens blushed, realizing how close they were and jumped apart.

"Oh we weren't-"

"There was nothing-"

"Sure you two" Alya winked. "Keep it PG."
