Brownies

Adrien Agreste was under the impression that maybe Marinette Dupain-Cheng didn't like him, or consider him a friend. That was, until the day she came into class 11 minutes late with a box of sweets. "I'm sorry MS Bustier! I- the brownies… needed more time to set-"

"It's quite alright Ms. Dupain-Cheng; I haven't started the lesson yet."

The student curtsied and walked past Adrien to sit. He was curious about Marinette's brownies, they are, after all, his favorite type of dessert and everything that comes out of her bakery is sublime. He had to have one!

As he pondered how, she actually tapped him on the shoulder. He turned to face her, only to find that she was leaning forward, very close; close enough that he could tell that her eyes were, in fact, bluebell. Strikingly similar to those of his Lady, but they didn't burn with passion or confidence, they twinkled timidly.

"H-hey A-drien! I made brownies for you all… because it's international b-best friends' day. I f-figured you guys are my… best friends: Alya, you, and Nino. S-so, I made you guys these…"

Marinette is so cute when she rambles on like that!

"Oh, thank you Mari! I'm flattered; I didn't know you thought of me like that. You're very sweet Marinette!"

The shy girl looked like she swallowed a bug.

"O-of course! I-you're always… I'm your friend Adrien!"

She turned red as a tomato and leaned back away, trying to hide her face in her sketchbook. Adrien couldn't help but smile.

"Thank you Mari!"

He heard a small squeak from her seat and blushed despite himself. 'She's adorable!' he mused to himself. Nino nudged his arm.

"Dude, you're so in there! Welcome to the group, if it wasn't official before, it is now!"

Adrien was confused. "What do you mean Nino?"

The DJ clapped his hands once, "Marinette is very particular about who she gets close to. Sure, she's nice to everyone, everybody likes her; except Chloe, but notice her group of friends consists of only us. Nobody else got brownies bro, just you, me, and Als. You can stop pouting about how 'Nette hates you now."

Adrien felt his face heat up slightly. He took a glance to Alya; she nodded in conformation, happily munching her treat. Adrien figured he'd eat his too. He salivated as he took a bite.

Words left him. He couldn't describe how delicious it was, the best he'd ever eaten ever, and he had tasted the very best from all across Europe! None of it shook a stick at Marinette's, seriously! Adrien didn't even want nor need milk to go with it!

He oralgasmed as he devoured it. When he was finished, he turned around.

"Thank you so much Mari, that was the best brownie I've ever had! They are my favorite treat and you are very talented!" He exclaimed.

The bluenette smiled with her eyes shut, so adorable! Or maybe they weren't fully shut, she is half Chinese after all, which is low-key his type.

"You're welcome Adrien!" she didn't stutter! Was she warming up to him? God, he hoped so. If not for Ladybug herself, he'd love to give it a shot with Marinette, he was becoming quite enamored with her recently, and he'll admit it only to himself. He turned around before he was caught looking at her.
