Marinette

Chapter Two: A Week Away

Adrien was sleeping on Marinette's shoulder. Her shoulder! Of all places for a gorgeous model (and crush) to fall asleep on in this car, he chose her shoulder. His head was tilted towards Marinette, giving her a wonderful view of his sleeping face. His hair was a little frayed from the long car ride but he still looked perfect, though she must admit, he always looked perfect. The blond boy also had the most gorgeous eyelashes. Why did boys always have better eyelashes?

How could Marinette get so lucky? To have the boy of her dreams sleeping soundly on her shoulder. The girl couldn't help but admire (stare) and notice the little amount of drool that seeped out his mouth.

Wait.

Drool? Adrien Agreste of the prestigious Agreste family drooled in his sleep? Adrien Agreste, one of the most renowned models of Marinette's time, was drooling? No way. That was so cute! A little disgusting but absolutely, positively, cute. Marinette was never going to wash this jacket again.

"You have to come with me, there's no way that I can go to Funland with Nino by myself." Alya begged. "Nope, no way."

"Then why did you already say yes?" Marinette asked. The two best friends were sitting in their favorite café. Their last year at school had just ended and they were spending their summer days in leisure. Well, mostly leisure.

Marinette still held the responsibility of Ladybug and still took her evening patrols with her charming partner in justice, Chat Noir. The girl also helped out most days in the bakery with her parents. It was just as busy as any summer for her, but this time around she had schools to look for. Something close, of course, so that she could still protect her beloved city and start on making her dream of being an international designer a reality.

She would prefer to go to which ever school Adrien was going to, but the lady in love needed to get her priorities straight. The two friends barely even talk, let alone date. She didn't need to follow him everywhere he went when he barely knew that she existed.

"I truly thought that I could convince my best friend, who loves me very much, to take a wonderful trip to a lovely amusement park. It will be really fun! I promise." Alya smiled and took Marinette's hands. "Please Marinette?"

Who could say no to the request of a loving friend such as Alya? Not Marinette. "Alright, I'll go with you."

"Great!" Alya beamed and released her hands.

Marinette needed a little break anyways. Between the bakery and saving kittens from trees, she needed to do something for herself. Something that was fun and carefree.

Later that evening she told Chat that she would be away for the week and for him to give her a call if someone suddenly got akumatized after the three-year dry spell and for nothing less.

"Actually, my lady, I will also be away for the week." He informed her as they sat atop the Eifel Tower, overlooking the city.

Ladybug smiled at her partner. "That's good, we both need a break, I'm sure this city can handle their superhero duo disappearing for the week. And nothing has happened in how long? Nearly three years? I'm sure everyone will be fine…" Still, the girl felt unsure about their disappearance. They would both be gone for the week.

"You're right, even superheroes need breaks. We can't be super all the time."

Ladybug put her hand over Chat's. "I really do hope they're fine. It would be our luck that the week we decided to leave all the big baddies decided that it's time to come out." Maybe she shouldn't go. The city needed at least one of their super heroes.

Chat gave her hand a squeeze and nodded. "It'll be just fine Ladybug, no need to worry. I'll be close by just in case, and keep an extra eye on the news."

The boy in the cat suit always knew how to make Ladybug feel better about her decisions.

She reached over and placed a kiss on his cheek before getting up to leave. "See you next week."

"See you next week." He confirmed with a lovesick smile glued to his face.

She packed her bags and gave her parents a hug goodbye. Marinette was going to have a blast with her friends. They planned for a week stay at a hotel nearby the park. It was going to amazing, rides and games by day, and video game tournaments and pizza by night. She needed this. They all needed this.

It was only moments before they left for their trip that Alya decided to inform her that Adrien would also be accompanying them.

Marinette was in heaven, she could stare at Adrien the entire drive there. She thought of something even better and started back on her sketch book. She had been drawing before Adrien decided to plop is his cute head on her shoulder.

Her pencil flew across the sketch pad as she looked from Adrien to the sketch pad and back again until a perfect replica of the boy was across her page. When she glanced over at Adrien, there was a pair of eyes to stare back.

The girl immediately let out a yelp and shoved him away so that he was back in his rightful seat. "A-Adrien! Good morning drooly head. I-I mean handsome angel. I didn't mean- just… hi?" She clutched her sketchbook to her chest. Did he see her drawing? Oh god, he was going to think she was such a creep.

Adrien smiled at her. "Sorry Marinette, I didn't mean to fall asleep on you."

His smile was too gorgeous. She really couldn't think right when that smile was pointed at her.

"Oh that's okay, I don't mind it when people sleep on me. I mean I don't mind it if it's you that's sleeping on me." Yup, she was forever going to be labeled as a creep.

"We're here!" Alya shouted with delight.

Marinette was thankful for the distraction. She was making a complete fool of herself and they had only spent two hours with each other (most of which he was sleeping). How was she going to spend a whole week with Adrien like this?

Alya placed her hand on Marinette's shoulder as they got out of the car. "Relax girl, we're going to have fun. You'll have plenty of time to not make a fool of yourself in front of you know who."

The girl nodded and reached for her luggage from the trunk of the car. "You're right, this is going to be so cool." She finally managed to break her suitcase free from the trunk.

A/N: I've really wanted to start writing my own Miraculous Ladybug fanfiction for such a long time now! Officially my first M rated fic for later scenes. Be sure to tell me what you think and what could possibly go wrong!
