Hello everyone!

I love writing these characters in new and cute situations and instead of doing multiple one shots I'm doing this alphabet collection of them. I hope you enjoy!

A – Apples/Apple picking

Field trips to apple orchards wasn't an unusual thing for elementary schools but in high school it was more of a rare occurrence. Although when it was announced that Marinette's class would be visiting an apple orchard out in the country everyone immediately jumped onto the idea. Now they were all crammed onto a school bus along with another class from their school and all you could hear was a mix of gossip, signing, chatting, and some girls from the other class talking about how the Adrien Agreste was on the bus with them. Tikki was asleep in her purse and she had promised the kwami a fresh cut up apple tonight for being stuck in the bag for so long. It was an hour and a half bus ride and Marinette wasn't sure how much longer of it she could take. When getting on the bus Alya pulled her right to the back while going on about how "they were the most deserving of the back seats and how Nino was already back there" and she was right about one of those things. Sitting on the seats across the row from where Marinette sat was Nino with Adrien. Nino had also pulled Adrien to the back while saying that he needed to prove that back row seats on a bumpy road was something that everyone needed to experience at least once.

Next to Marinette Alya was scrolling through her phone while under the Ladybug tag on some blogging site and was showing the screen to Marinette whenever she saw a new theory or picture that captured the heroes. Marinette meanwhile was trying to looking out the window and spot any signs saying that they were close to their destination. Suddenly a phone was shoved into her face and on the screen was a badly photo shopped picture of Chat Noir hugging Ladybug with hearts floating around them. Alya was saying something about how cute the two would be if they ever got together but it was too loud to hear everything she was saying. The phone screen lowered from her face and she noticed a giant apple sign pass by. She pressed her face to the window trying to see what it had said or if there was any more coming up when she noticed that the noise had suddenly stopped and a teacher was standing at the front of the bus announcing they were finally there.

After two roll calls and the ordeal of getting everyone and everything off the bus they were finally allowed to go off into groups. The orchard they went to had a play ground for younger kids then a little eating area with picnic tables and even a little shop for buying things like apple jam and pies. Of course as soon as they got off the bus Alya and Nino suggested the four of them, including Marinette and Adrien, would form a group and pick the most apples. Each of them received a plastic bag to put apples into and then Alya dragged the group to the hayride which would drop them off in the field of trees.

Five minutes later and the four of them were in the middle of a row of apple trees trying to find the best looking ones. Nino and Alya raced each other down the row trying to be the first to fill their bag. While Adrien and Marinette were left standing together watching their friends go from tree to tree. The two started to pick apples off the trees surrounding them.

"Hey, Marinette?" Adrien leaned over to her while examining an apple he grabbed off a low hanging branch.

"Yes?" She dropped the apple she was holding by accident and silently cursed as it broke open when hitting the ground.

"Am I supposed to be looing for something? Or doing something special? I…I've never been apple picking." As he spoke Adrien looked towards her helplessly while holding the apple like it was a delicate artifact. Marinette giggled.

"W-well you don't want that one you're holding." She pointed towards the apple.

"Why not? It looks purrfe-" Adrien coughed, "perfect and its all red."

He held out the apple towards Marinette who grabbed it and turned it around. The backside of it was partially eaten by bugs and starting to go bad. Immediately he threw the apple to the ground under the trees and rubbed his hands onto his pants.

"How did you notice that?"

"My family's bakery, we uh we only use the most perfect apples for baking."

Marinette looked through the branches and pulled off a large bright red apple with a small twist of her wrist and handed it to Adrien. He looked it over with amazement.

"You have to look for a ripe one with no holes or marks on it. Then when you grab it you don't want it to be soft or feel bad." She said while looking at the trees.

He then watched her do the same to another delicious looking apple and drop it into her bag. She picked out a few more then froze and looked over at Adrien. He was still watching her while holding the first apple. Suddenly, he grabbed her chin and she stopped breathing. Marinette's heart jumped. He was staring at her and now his hand was on her face. Maybe she had died on that bus. Then the apple was pressed against the side of her cheek.

"Uh…" She stared at him curiously and he laughed.

"When you blush your cheeks are the same colour as the apple!" Adrien smiled and she couldn't help as the blush grew stronger on her cheeks and face. He pulled the apple away and then slid it into his bag. "I guess I'll keep that one."

Adrien turned towards the trees on the other side of the row and started to follow her advice on picking out apples. His bag was getting heavier and he noticed that Marinette had joined him on the same side but was a few feet away. He shifted over towards her. He could hear Nino and Alya arguing over who got more apples but Marinette had been dead silent next to him.

"So…what do you plan on doing with all those apples?" Adrien looked her over as she put another apple into her almost full bag.

"Um, apple pie. Other apple pastries too probably" Marinette shifted her bag to the other arm while she spoke.

"Ya know, I like pie. You'll have to let me have a piece when you make it."

"O-okay." She mumbled but he must had heard because a bright smile spread across Adrien's face.

"Hey! Guys!" Alya's voice broke their conversation and they both looked up the row to see Nino carrying two bags overflowing with apples and Alya waving her arms in the air. "Our bags are full and they're giving out apple cider! C'mon!"

"I guess we better go join them before they drink it all." Adrien turned back to Marinette who was shifting the bag again to the other arm. "Here, I'll carry yours too." He held out his hand for her bag of apples.

"Uh, thank you." Marinette handed him the bag and his hand dropped with the weight. She really had picked a lot.

The two of them caught up to Alya and Nino and the boys put down the bags on one of the picnic tables while the girls went to get the refreshments. Nino leaned over to Adrien and hit him on the shoulder.

"So how was the first time apple picking? Aaand being alone with Marinette? Did you put the Agreste moves on her?" Nino nudged him again. Adrien reached into his bag and grabbed the bright red apple he had made sure was unharmed in his bag.

"I'd say it was pretty sweet." Adrien said then took a bite out of the apple while glancing over at Marinette.
