Prompt: Adrienette: "I've seen the way you look at me when you think I don't notice."


"Soooo are you ever gonna ask me out?"

Marinette choked, pieces of her croissant flying. Adrien shot her a deceptively innocent smile as she coughed violently into her napkin.

"Water?"

She took the offered bottle, shooting her misguided crush a watery glare. Wiping the corners of her mouth, Marinette scowled.

" Really? " She asked, face red and hot. "As I was eating?"

"I don't know what you're talking about, buginette." He said, definitely knowing. "I was just trying to make conversation."

"You were trying to cause trouble ." She stood up, appetite lost.

Adrien gathered their trash before rushing after her.

"Come on," He whined, pulling at her sleeve. "I just want to know how long we have to wait."

"What makes you think there's anything to wait for?" She snapped, Angry and ashamed that he'd brought it up at all.

Adrien whirled her around so she was facing him. Marinette refused to meet his eyes and glared down at his sneakers.

"I've seen the way you look at me when you think I don't notice," He said, trying not to sound too smug when he added, "I mean, we've all seen the pictures."

She let out a low growl and tried to rip away but he held firm, gripping her upper arms and swaying her back and forth.

"My laaady," He sing-songed, ducking his head to catch her eye only to have her stubbornly turn her head. "Me too."

"You too what?" She said, warily glancing at him only to look away.

Adrien grinned, tugging her close so that he could wrap his arms around his embarrassed partner. She resisted at first, before sighing and sliding her arms around his waist, begrudgingly returning his hug.

He smiled, burying his face in her hair.

"I look at you too."
