Adrien sighed as his limo approached the Dupain-Cheng bakery. The limo pulled to a stop in front of the shop before he got out of the car, he sighed inwardly once again as he looked up at the tall building before thinking about what happened yesterday that lead him to here.
*yesterday in music class*
"Everyone will split into pairs and will write and record a song for class on Monday." their teacher said as she started to hand out sheets of paper "This is your home work. It has the fundamentals of songwriting."
Adrien looked over to see Chloe looking down at her paper before looking up at him "Oh~ Adrikins~~" Chloe said in a sickening sweet voice "let's pair up!" she said while jumping and walking over to him in order to latch onto his arm
"Oh.. Um.. I- Uh I can't!" adrien said trying to think of an excuse off the top of his head.
"what?" Chloe asked clearly displeased by this statement. "Why not?!"
"I- um I already… have a partner…?" adrien said on the spot "Yeah! I already have a partner." He said hoping that would be enough.
"Oh yeah? Who?" Chole asked eyeing him suspiciously.
"Oh um…" Adrien thought for a momentCome on, Adrien, who doesn't have a partner… Nino is pairing with Alya… than who is Marinette paired with? that's it!"Marinette! I'm paired with Marinette." Adrien said sweating slightly hoping she would just go with it.
"Oh.. Um Y-yeah totally!" Marinette said confused looking to adrien before quickly catching on. "We are totally paired up for this project!" Marinette said lying as best as she could.
"Oh yeah?! than who is four-eyes paired up with?!" Chloe asked getting madder and madder by the second, but, with this she was sure she had them.
"Nino." Alya said smugly before going to stand by him.
Chloe growled before stomping off.
"So.." Alya trailed off before continuing "Are you going to make my" Alya trailed off again before walking over to marinette draping an arm over her shoulders and putting a hand on Marinettes heart dramatically "dear, sweet, innocent, and not to mention, honest, Marinette a lair? or are you going to be her partner for this project?" She asked coyly
Adrien looked taken aback as he looked at Marinette "D-did you want to be my partner?" Adrien asked tilting his head a little in a questioning manner.
"Oh, Um Y-yes. I-if you mind don't, I-i mean D-don't mind!" Marinette said as she looked away embarrassed at her mix up of words.
Adrien chuckled at how cute that was "Sure, your place or mine?" he asked kindly
Marinette gaped at himhe actually wants to do it? she shook her head gently "M-my house w-would be um better…" marinette said carefully thinking and saying her words "I-i think" She whispered
Adrien nodded "Great how does noon sound?" He asked as he began putting his books in his bag.
"Tomorrow?" Marinette asked focusing on the desk and her books.
"Yeah."
"T-that sounds um p-perfect." she said putting her last book in, "I-i can write the s-song." looking to the ground blushing even more before kicking her foot back and forth gently "if you want" she whispered.
"Sure, if you want to." Adrien said as he looked at his phone "Oh! man, I gotta go. See ya Nino! See you tomorrow Marinette." adrien said as he ran off to get to his limo.
*back to now*
Adrien looked downI was so sure yesterday. but now I'm not so sure, I mean, I have liked Marinette for almost a year now. I just don't know if I'm ready for this. No, deep breath, you've got this. you are an amazing singeradrien walked to the door of the bakery. he stopped to take one last deep breath before walking into the shop. He heard the bell ring over head. you are handsome, you are fun, you are funny. you are Adrien Agreste.
"Hello and welcome!" Sabine said as adrien walked in. "how can I help you?"
"Actually I'm here for my project with Marinette." Adrien said cooly.
"Oh so this is the project partner, head on up. she's been expecting you." Sabine pointed to the stairs, adrien smiled before walking up and heading to the front door of their apartment.
He took one last deep breath before knocking.
Marinette was in her room when the dreaded knocks came. she almost screamed as she turned to her door. she finished her last few touches to her room and mic setup before running down stairs, when she reached the door she straightened out her shirt before opening the door.
"H-hi Adrien." Marinette said shyly. she opened the door wider and stepped to the side so he could come in then motioned for him to enter "welcome"
he smiled before walking in "thank you." he said as he walked past her, "so, where are we doing this thing?" he asked looking over to her.
She shut the door before looking at him and smiling "My room" she said before leading to her room.
When they got in her room he glanced around, "it's the same as when I came to practice for gaming tournament." Adrien said sitting in the chair she gestured to.
"o-oh yeah, well I changed a few tiny things but not much." she said before picking through some papers and handing him a small stack. "This is the s-song, w-what do you think?" she asked looking at him with shy eyes filled with hope and expectation.
Adrien read through it before holding the papers at his side and looking at her with a very serious look. "I… Love it!" he said throwing his hands in the air. "It's cute and fun and I can't wait to sing it!" adrien said looking at the mic ready to go.
"O-ok! Let's do this!" Marinette said before turning on the mic and began recording.
~ An Awkward Duet by Jon Cozart and Dodie ~
(I suggest looking up the song and listening to it as you read)
Marinette picks up her ukulele and begins to play
Adrien: Do you want to go first?
Cause I'm happy to wait, I~
Practiced really hard
but I'm finding it strange to start- with you
Marinette: So, How does it go?
I've forgotten the tune, I~
haven't warmed up today
so I might sound a bit strange
yes I do
Cause I
Adrien: can
Marinette: Sing
Adrien: I
Together: Swear it's true
I'm just a little nervous in front of you
Adrien: So, who's on third?
I think I'm better at Mel-o-dy~
oh, I'm going to get it wrong

…
No? ok.
Marinette: Let's just go for a take

my heart is beating fast, oh vocal cords please last

Adrien: Can

Marinette: Yeah, we sound gooooooooooooooooood
Adrien looks at marinette and blushes from the note shivering a little at hearing her delicious voice.
marinette blushes and ceases to play for a few moments before continuing.
Marinette: I think I messed up
I just wanted to improvise
shall we try another day?
Adrien: I think I sounded great, so…
Marinette: cause I
Adrien: can
Marinette: sing
Adrien: I
Together: swear it's true
I'm just a little nervous..
in front of you
They end the song and turn off the mic. After listening to it and making sure it's perfect they rip off 3 discs 1 for class, 1 for adrien, and 1 for marinette. They smile at each other.
"We should do this again!" adrien says looking at marinette "It was fun and I liked spending time alone with you."
Marinette blushed brighter and nodded quickly, she didn't trust herself to talk right now.
Adrien looked at his phone to check the time. He sighed and looked up at her. "Sorry, but I have to run, I have shoot in 30 minutes. I wish I could stay longer. Let's do this again soon, You can write the song again. if you don't mind, that is." Adrien said standing up and stretching a little
"Mmm No I-I don't mind. J-just tell me when." She smiled at him and walked him to the door
"Will do. Until then" Adrien said as he gave her a small bow in a very Chat Noir manner and walked out to his limo. Looking forward to class and the next time they would sing together.
