Love Potion: Chapter 1

There was it. In his drink and ready to be gulped down.

We are speaking of Marinette's love potion. She got the recipe from her Chinese aunt and it took her 2 whole months to brew it. The poor girl needed some rare and expensive ingredients which were mostly found outside of Paris.

She was lucky that she could buy a few things she needed on a fieldtrip with school. Adrien even helped her reaching the mysterious bottle on the top of a shelf in an Asian store. No one of her friends knew what she wanted to do with it, only Alya bothered to ask, but didn't really got a satisfying answer.

Marinette kept her plan a secret and brew it at night, when her parents were already asleep and when there was no akuma making havoc in Paris. It was a very long way till she finally succeeded to make the potion.

She had 2 whole attempts.

Her failed attempt was the fault of her clumsiness, when she tripped while transporting it to the other side of the room. On her second one, she finally succeeded.

And now she's sitting in her room and had invited Adrien Agreste over for some "Chinese-Lesson" as how she called it. Marinette made sure that she talked to her parents that they shouldn't no matter what rush inside her room. Marinette's plan could go wrong again and make Adrien, the boy she liked, to fall in love with one of her parents. The thought of that was really disgusting. Imagining Adrien becoming her stepdad or stepmom instead of her future husband made her shiver. She should stop thinking about that, gross. She was confident that it would work out, only with the assurance from her aunt that the potion has always worked out and never let her let her down before.

Adrien was sitting beside her on her desk and had his warm blue scarf around his neck. He thought that it was a gift from his father, but it was actually from the girl who was trying to let him fall in love with her desperately with a potion.

Marinette got some tea and pastries from her parent's bakery and poured the long worked on mix into his drink. He was oblivious of her feelings for him. That made Marinette sad, but now it would change everything after he gulped down his tea along with the love potion.

They first played Ultimate Mecha Strike, before even thinking about Chinese.

"Mari you're really good at this game.", Adrien declared as he lost. "To bad I forgot your lucky charm you borrowed me last time. I should have won this time."

The boy laughed and it was music for Marinette's ears. His smile and chuckles are mostly faked in school and in photo shootings, but right now she could see the genuineness in his face. She was really happy being with him right now and spend the time with him. He needs to drink the freaking potion already. Mari often looked back and forth between him and his drink.

"Adrien, drink it. DRINK IT!", she screamed internally. She has waited so long and almost had no patience left. "Hey Adrien… you are really hot… uhm no I mean… it's hot here, not that you're not hot… eh I mean… Why don't you drink your tea? It's refreshing."

Marinette smiled wide and watched as Adrien nodded with an 'okay' and started reaching for his cup. 'YES YES YES' was all the black haired girl could think of.

Adrien hold the cup up and placed it on his soft kissable lips.

"Only seconds and then the life of Adrien and me will change for the better.", Mari thought. Her heart stopped for a second when he stopped and placed his cup back to the desk without even one sip from it. She was so fixated on seeing him going to drink it, that she didn't realise his phone was ringing.

"Oh sorry, I'll answer this call. It could be Nathalie."

He stood up and spoke to his telephone. "Hello?... ah it's just you Nino…. Yes, I'm here. Why?... N-no, it's not a… and I'm not…", he sighed "If that's the only thing you wanted to say then I'll hang up. Bye!", he didn't let Nino answer and sat back next to Marinette.

"Sorry Mari, Nino can be a bother sometimes."

"Yeah, haha. He really is.", she said, but mumbled to last part so that he didn't hear it.

Marinette drank from her own tea to signalise to Adrien to drink to. As planned he took the cup and laughed "I really need this tea now, after the talk with Nino."

Marinette couldn't believe it. He swallowed everything down and breathed out. "That was really good. Thank you Marinette.", he smiled. But Marinette was confused. How long does the potion take to kick in again? Oh no, she forgot to ask her aunt. That's not good, but she was happy that it's finally inside her dear Adrien Agreste stomach.

T his shouldn't take long right? Most fantasy books she had read about love potions took just a moment or a few days to get affective. So she decided to wait. But how long?
