Chapter one: A miraculous misunderstanding

It started out as a normal Saturday Adrien sighed to himself head in his hands as he lay on his bed fighting back the waves of embarrassment and self-hate he felt. How did it turn into this he thought. He never could imagine a simple misunderstanding could lead to such a big change. It was Friday and class had just ended.

"Hey Nino," Adrien turned to Nino who had just been seemingly plotting something with Alya not mentioning it simply continue on with what he had to say, "Uhh do you have any plans for this weekend I finished all my shoots during the week so I have nothing to do."

"Oh sorry but I've already made plans to go with Alya to this ladybug convention this weekend," Nino apologized.

"No it's fine," Adrien reassured him trying as hard as he could to not sound depressed, he really wanted to spend one of his only free weekends with his friend.

Mari could tell something was wrong with Adrien just by his tone which both delighted and creeped her out.

"H-hey Adrien if d-don't have any I-I mean if it didn't bother you…," come on it's just a question "...maybe we could hang out over the weekend."

What is he going to think? Is he going to turn me down? Is he… Mari hadn't looked up from the place on the ground she had glued her eyes to after asking so she didn't know what his reaction was.

"M-Marinette," Mari heard what seemed to be crying she looked up to see teary eyed Adrien smiling whilst wiping tears from his eyes.

"Oh my god Adrien what's wrong I'm so sorry," she panicked

"What are you apologizing for I'm crying because I've never met anyone so kind," Adrien admitted, still wiping his eyes.

Marinette blushed but Adrien couldn't see through his tears. "It's not that big of a deal," she groaned.

After the crying had stopped and they arranged the time and place of their meeting. they decided that they would meet on Saturday at Marinette against Adrien's wishes to come over immediately. And Mari would have agreed with Adrien but then she remembered the countless number of pictures she had of him on her walls and decided she needed more time to prepare.

The next morning Adrien awoke feeling like the luckiest guy in the world. He had the best people in the world as his friends and if they weren't the best people in the world he knew at least that Marinette had to be the kindest.

Adrien unaware to the smile permanently glued to his face from the invitation to Marinette's house. He didn't know why exactly he was this happy and he didn't care he was just glad his rarely occurring free weekend didn't go to waist.

He arrived at the bakery taking in the pleasant smell of croissants and other baked goods. The aroma only helped to stimulate his mood. All the while Marinette's parents were doing what all parents do when a cute boy comes to their daughter's house meddling.

"Oh Marinette your boyfriend is here," her father teased her.

"Watch it dad or I'll have a new favorite boy instead of you," she teased back though her counter struck her dad harder than he did her.

"Ouch Mari you don't have to be that harsh," her mom interjected trying to cheer up her husband who had just been verbally slammed.

"Um hello," Adrien just walked in unphased by the torn apart dad that slouched at the counter.

"Oh don't mind him come on let's go to my room I just got this new game,"Marinette called while walking up to her room.

Adrien happily obliged unable to control the smile still on his face. As he walked up Adrien walked up he took in the sight of his friend's room. It was the only girl's room he had ever been in besides Chloe's which was more like a palace rather than a room he preferred Marinette room it was more cute and cozy. But what he liked most about it was the warm, homely feeling he got from it like he belonged. The only thing was…

"Hey Mari," Adrien said still admiring her room.

"Ya Adrien," she said still searching thru her things to find the game she mentioned.

"You should put up some posters or something," just the mention of posters made Marinette nervous since she did have some posters…of...Adrien.

Trying to keep her composure she simply said, "listen don't comment on my room until I see yours."

Adrien thought back to how many LB posters he had in his room and started blushing.

"Y-ya your right," Adrien said hiding his blush beneath his hand.

"Found it!" Marinette said pulling out the zombie FPS she had just recently bought.

"Hey that just came out right," Adrien was a fan of the particular game franchise. Having bought all of them except the latest one that Marinette had.

"Ya, I was going to buy that this week but with all the shoots lately I haven't had time," while listening Marinette had started to truly realize just how busy a models life could be.

"Wow I had no idea how hard modeling was, well that just goes to show how talented and great you are Adrien," Adrien was shocked at how patiently Marinette was listening to him usually when he tells people about his modeling they only bother to fantasize about the benefits of fame and not the struggles of his real life.

"Wow Marinette you really are the nicest person I know," Marinette although already hearing these words yesterday blushed nonetheless

"I'm really not besides I'm sure anyone else would say the same about you," she denied Adrien was annoyed almost angry that she would degrade herself like that.

"No Marinette," he almost shouted startling her "No I won't let you insult yourself like that, you are kinder than anyone in our school probably all of Paris you are one of the only people to realize that modeling isn't all fame but can cause problems in having a normal life as well."

As he was saying this he had unconsciously gotten just inches away from Marinette. Realizing this they both blushed backing away from each other.

"H-how about we start our game," Adrien stated trying to change the subject.

"Y-ya, the game right," Marinette quickly put in the game to avoid further conversation.

The room was quiet as they started their game but the tension slowly melted away as the time ticked by and pretty soon they were yelling commands about watching their backs and killing zombies and everything returned to normal...for a short time.

While taking a break from the game to rest his thumbs from all the clicking and button mashing he saw a glimpse of what appeared to be a glowing pink bug.

Not realizing it was tikki he went over to the drawer to investigate he opened it to find the kwami eating a cookie from the bakery he was frozen with shock had no words to say.

The bug simply said "shh," and disappeared into the drawer. But that was not enough for Adrien he frantically started digging thru the drawer frantically trying to find the mysterious bug to no avail.

"Adrien, what the hell are you doing?" he heard a voice yell it was Marinette's yet it was different somehow it was half angry half embarrassed.

He turned to see a teary-eyed raging Marinette. He was wondering why she looked like that but then he realized something and hoped to god it wasn't what he thought. He looked to where his hands were they were wrist deep in Marinette's underwear drawer and in his right hand was a pair of Chat Noir panties.
