Kiss

Marinette violently shook her head.

"Nu uh. No way; I'm not doing it."

"Too bad, girl!" Alya cackled. "You lost the bet, now you have to kiss Adrien."

Marinette wailed and dropped her head to her desk. "Whyyyyy?"

Alya laughed and laid a hand on her shoulder, bending over to look at Marinette. "Hey, girl, it's okay! I have faith in you!"

Marinette only groaned again in response.

"Tikki! What am I going to do?" She cried, throwing herself on her bed. As soon as the bell rang for lunch she had rushed home to get away from Alya and her smug reminders.

"Oh Marinette." Tikki chirped. "It's not that bad! Who knows, maybe he'll fall madly in love with you!" She giggled, dodging the pillow Marinette halfheartedly threw at her.

She opened her mouth to tell her why that wouldn't work, but an explosion down the street cut her off.

Ladybug came swinging into the scene, in all her red glory, yo-yo blazing. She came in just as the akuma threw another one of its bombs at a building, debris flying everywhere. Ladybug caught sight of someone down directly below the explosion sight and she immediately swung down, scooping them up just as a large block of concrete hit the ground in the same spot.

She breathed a sigh of relief as she landed on another building, setting down the person she saved.

"Th-thank you, Ladybug."

Said hero's head snapped up, her eyes meeting the bright, meadow green gaze peering down at her in awe.

"A-A-Adrien." She breathed, her chest contracting. "I, uh, you're welcome."

They stood there, staring at each other with red faces, the wind whipping around them from the angry akuma raging below.

Without thinking, Ladybug lunged forward and kissed him on his perfect cheekbone. Reeling back she spewed some goodbye and swung off again.

"I did it." She whispered, numbly slipping into her spot.

"What?" Alya asked, looking up from her phone. "What did you- Oh! You did it?!"

Marinette nodded slowly, staring blankly ahead.

"Oh my gosh, girl! I told you you could do it! How'd it go? What'd he say? What'd you say?!" Alya fired off excitedly.

Before Marinette could respond the door to the class opened once more, Adrien practically floating in with a lovesick smile on his face.

Alya's excited grin quickly melted in the smuggest, crap eating grin anyone had ever seen out of the girl as she watched Adrien stumble into his seat.

"What happened to you, Sunshine? Kiss any cute girls lately?"

Adrien didn't even bother to turn around as he sighed, dropping his chin into his hand. "Yeah. I got saved by Ladybug yesterday, and she kissed me." His sentence trailed off into a love worn murmur as he sighed again.

Marinette snapped out of her daze at is words, stifining. Alya whirled on her, her face so shocked she looked white. In his own daze, Adrien didn't notice when Alya attempted to smother her friend or when Marinette nearly melted into a puddle of regret.
