Hey guys! I know, those who follow my other stories are well aware that I have stopped updating, but that is because i honestly don't like my old stories. I'm don't with them, I'm over them, like a break up. Can't emotionally handle seeing them lmao. Anyways, I was in photography class when I had this idea, and now I'm in math and I need something to do cus I h8 math. So, here is a oneshot made purely of boredom and fluff. Enjoy!
"Oh my gosh I-I'm so sorry!" A squeak came from the figure lying across him. Adrien had just been casually walking down the halls, minding his own business, when a flash of navy blue accidentally tackled him.
"Um, it's not problem, but could you possibly get off of me?" He was very confused. The girl got off of him, but he didn't even have time to look at her before he picked up one of the papers she dropped. Beauty was all he could think. He looked at this paper, a photo, and saw a wooden deck with an angled view. It was a side view, making part of it blurry and the rest completely in focus, all while showing him the horizon of the city of Paris. Off center but perfectly in place, was a ladybug.
"I'm so sorry, I'm so clumsy and I didn't mean to fall for you- I MEAN ON YOU- I mean, I mean-" The girl fumbled with her words but Adrien barely heard.
He merely interrupted her with a simple, "Wow."
The girl froze. She never, ever shows anyone her pictures. And Adrien, the Adrien Agreste, was marveling over her pictures. "D-Do you like them?"
Finally, Adrien looked at her. Marinette. Normally he would have glanced and said yes he does, but this time was different. This time, he saw her eyes, her hair out of her usual pigtails, in her black and green tank top. Not only did he see her appearance, but he felt like he saw her for who she was. Adrien quickly shook his head to get the thoughts out of his head. Ladybug. You love Ladybug.
"Oh, I guess you don't. That's okay, I'm an ametur, and I-"
"No! I love them! They're actually some of the best pictures I have ever seen." It was his turn to blush as he looked at her picture again. He handed it to her and picked up yet another one. A black cat sitting on the railing of a balcony in the dead of night, the lit up eiffel Tower in the background. Everything was in black and white except the cats bright green eyes as he stared straight into the camera and into your soul. Adrien looked back up to her slightly red face. "They're really pretty, Mari."
"Really? Thanks Adrien. Maybe sometime you could model for me? I-I mean you don't have, only if you want to, okay? J-Just let me know?"
"Normally I don't enjoy photoshoots, but I really like your style. Sure, let's give it a shot." Mentally, he winked at his pun.
Marinette smiled. "Thank you! When should we do it? I was thinking maybe at the park!"
"Sure, how about at the park tomorrow?"
"See you there!" Marinette starting picking up her photos., but before she could get the ladybug picture, he had it in his hands.
"... Can I keep this one?" He asked shyly, feeling heat rise to his face. Marinette nodded before running off to catch up with Alya.
"Okay, Adrien, are you ready?" Marinette had just finished setting up her camera and tripod.
"Yes, what should I be doing?" He asked, testing out a few leaning poses against a tree in the park.
"Um, I was hoping I could just… catch you being yourself?" Marinette suggested shyly.
Adrien paused and looked at her. No one ever let him do what he wanted, there was always a plan, and always a format to follow. That's why chat noir was so freeing. But as he looked at Marinette, nervous for is answer, and saw that she cared. She wanted him to have the freedom he needed. He was brought back to reality as he heard her repeat his name.
"Um, sure. Sorry, I'm just used to the photographer telling me what to do."
"Oh," She replied, almost sounding sorry for him, "I like to catch things in their natural state."
Adrien grinned at the good nature and kindness she was showing to him. Soon enough, after Marinette took after photos of his genuine smile, she could feel her knees buckling, knowing that she caused him to smile meant everything to her. Little did she know, she was actually and slowly falling, and suddenly she landed on her butt. Adrien covered his mouth, chuckling a little, but then a little kid dropped his bouncy ball, which just so happened to hit Marinette in the head. She let out a little squeak, and Adrien burst out laughing, ignoring the people around him and laughing to his heart's content. Marinette quickly stood up to focus and shoot a photo while she still could, and shortly after a few photos he looked up and noticed her standing.
"Sorry, I just-" He started but suddenly she started laughing, and it ended in both of them laughing and rolling on the floor laughing.
After a few more minutes, they stood up, finally done with their laughter-session, and enjoyed their comfortable silence.
"Hey Mari?" Adrien asked.
"Yes Adrien?"
"I'm glad we did this," he sighed and looked at the sky, "I always thought you despised me, but now I know that you're a good friend."
Marinette blushed, "Well I never despised you, I just felt really nervous that you didn't like me after the gum incident…"
"Mari of course I don't hate you for that! It was all a misunderstanding," He gave her a forgiving smile and held out his hand. "Friends?"
Slowly, she grabbed his hand into a firm handshake, a strong look of determination on her face. "Friends."
Hey, now that that's over, I have something to say. If you have any requests, anything you don't feel like writing but really want to read, I can write it for you. I hate when I have an idea but I can't write it out, but maybe if I have people requesting I'll update more. So give me a Private Message and send in your ideas. Also, if you as a reader want more chapters to any of my stories, please ask me. I need motivation.
Anyways, thanks for reading, have a nice day!
