"Come on, Marinette! Don't worry, I won't bite."
School project lesson number one: If assigned to work on a project with the love of your life, don't forget to breathe.
School project lesson number two: If assigned to work on an embarrassing health class project with said love of your life, have a breath mint.
"Adrien, I don't know...it's so awkward...I mean, who assigns a project about the physical...feelings and physiological responses to people...you know, kissing? It's so weird."
And embarrassing. She added silently to herself.
Adrien nodded. "Definitely not what I signed up for when I started attending public school. We have to do this though, for school." He touched her arm gently, reassuring her. "It's ok. It's not like we're kissing in public or anything, right?"
With a sharp exhale, Marinette shifted in her seat. He was right and appeared rather calm about this. How the world was he so calm as she's over here trying not pull every strand of hair out of her head? She was about to kiss Adrien. Only the boy she absolutely adored. The boy she fell in love with their first, fateful meeting in the rain. The boy she always stuttered around because words.
No. Biggie.
She was just overthinking this. Furthermore, their kissing was for science...literally. Though of course she would be assigned with Adrien for such a project. She could freak out by herself over it later. "Ok, let's do this."
Across from her, Adrien took in a sharp breath, closing his eyes and leaning forward. She too closed her eyes and waited for their lips to meet. The wait was killer.
For science. She told herself.
Their lips met and she heard the quietest breath escape his lips.
For science. She repeated in her mind, only this time more urgent.
Now his hand rested on the back of her head and he pulled her closer.
FOR SCIENCE. She screamed internally.
And then somehow she found herself on his lap with her arms around his neck.
MARINETTE. This is FOR SCIENCE. FOR SCIENCE. Don't abort mission. This is SCIENCE we're talking about here. SCIENCE.
They continued to kiss several more moments. Only when the need for air beckoned them did they break apart, breathing heavily, hearts racing.
Marinette looked into Adrien's eyes. His pupils were dilated and longing swirled inside them feverishly. Herself, Marinette could feel the ever pounding rock of her heart inside her chest, her cheeks burned with fury. Ok, Marinette, get ahold of yourself. Remember, this is for science, and you need to get working on that report!
"Ok, Adrien," she maneuvered herself off his lap and back to her chair, swiping a notebook and pen off her desk. "What physiological factors did you feel with that?"
From his seat, Adrien tilted his head to the side, as if her words made no sense to him. "Wait, what are you talking about?"
Wwwwhhhaaaaattttt?
"You know, for the project?"
"What project?"
She wanted to strangle him.
"Oh, Adrien…"
