I'm not native English, but I try the best I can. Thank you all for the amazing reviews!

Disclaimer: I don't own Miraculous Ladybug.

"Marinette called. She is coming later." Sabrina said, around the corner of Adrien's office. He had his head buried in his arms "The dress is finished and ready for delivery. She can do it herself, but if the customer calls, we can tell her it's ready." Sabrina looked into Adrien's office. He didn't move. Was he sleeping? "Uhm... Should I close the door?"

Adrien muttered a 'yes', and Sabrina complied, closing his door softly. As soon as the door closed, Plagg appeared. "Aah, young love!" he said with a grin, nibbling his disgusting camembert.

"You never have been in love." Adrien muttered, his voice muffled by his arms.

"I love camembert."

"Shut up." he stated, not lifting his head. He didn't move at all. He didn't feel like moving.

After confessing he liked Ladybug yesterday, Marinette snorted softly. He still didn't get why. And it was more like a sarcastic snort. She shook her head, saying something about her being an idiot, and she suddenly left. He was left behind with confusion and an ache in his chest.

Adrien opened his eyes and stared at his wall. What now? Acting as if everything was normal and forgetting everything?

"I am an idiooooot." Marinette yelled in her pillow "Why didn't I just confess I'm Ladybug."

Tikki frowned and hugged her hand, feeling sad for her. "You were cornered. Adrien suddenly confessed to you so I understand why you couldn't find the right words."

Marinette looked at Tikki, seeing how she hugged her hand. She grabbed her and hugged her back. "I should talk with him... I'm going to work soon..." she decided.

"I'm proud of you." Tikki said, hugging her thumb. Marinette smiled and closed her eyes. She had to find the power to get to her work. Marinette opened her eyes with confusion after hearing a few screams outside.

Adrien looked up after hearing a scream outside. He looked outside his window, wondering what it could be. People seemed to run away.

But somehow, Adrien couldn't stop smiling softly. He felt the little ecstatic feeling he always had in the pit of his belly. Three years ago he saw Ladybug for the last time, and three years ago it was the last time he turned into Chat.

Did that mean Ladybug would show herself?

"Stop smiling, creep. You resemble your dad." Plagg said with half lidded eyes, seeing how Adrien was smiling seeing people scream.

Adrien looked back at him with half lidded eyes "I don't want to be reminded how my father was Hawk Moth." Adrien said. "Come we have to go." Plagg hid into Adrien's jacket. Adrien exited his office and Sabrina was looking outside, looking at the people. "I'm going to deliver the dress!" Adrien yelled, running downstairs.

Sabrina looked up and she looked at her desk, seeing the package "He forgot the dress..."

Adrien got downstairs and looked around in the store. He found Rose, seeing she was hiding and scared. Adrien ran to her and grabbed her by her wrist. "Hide upstairs. Sabrina is there." he said. She looked at him with her big blue eyes. Adrien smiled. She really didn't change at all. Rose ran upstairs and Adrien went outside. As the people ran away from the danger, Adrien ran towards the danger.

Marinette hid around a corner, looking carefully to see who she was dealing with. Tikki also looked, probably recognizing it if it was an Akuma. They both looked and Marinette looked in shock after seeing the cause.

She saw a male, covered in blackness. Everything around him was dark. Marinette looked around and she frowned confused, also seeing he didn't have a shadow.

"What the...?"

"Naï." Tikki suddenly said. Marinette looked at her red little kwami, hoping for an explanation. "The green and spider kwami. I don't know who has him in its power..." she explained. Marinette looked at him again and her eyes widened. As soon as he touched a shadow of an object with his spatula, the shadow first transforms into, what seems, a knife. Suddenly the object also turn into a knife.

"He just changed that car into a knife! He shouldn't play with knifes!" Marinette yelled shocked. What if he touched her shadow! "What is going on!?"

"Naï has the power to control shadows. If he has Akumatized a shadow, the shadow get pulled into their body and object, making them bad and swallowed with darkness." Tikki explained. "But it doesn't work with butterflies, like with Hawk Moth. A small green spider carries the piece of Shadow on its back towards the shadow of the object they use. The spider looks like a green huntsman."

"I have to Google that." Marinette said. She never heard of a 'green huntsman'.

"You don't want to. Believe me." Tikki said with a disgusted face. Marinette looked intently, seeing the man changed a bus into a pan.

"So..." Marinette puzzled the pieces in her head "A green huntsman spider carries a bad shadow with him and get into the shadow of the spatula. As soon as it crawls in the shadow of the object, the shadow got pulled into the user, making him swallowed by darkness. He can transform objects with their shadows using his object." she looked at Tikki "If I destroy the spatula, and catch the spider, it will be cleansed like the butterflies?"

Tikki nodded, happy Marinette was so smart.

"Alright! Tikki, transform me!" Marinette said with a smile, feeling nostalgic. She transformed and she looked at her suit. The suit grew with her body and she looked at her butt. Biiig...

Ladybug looked around the corner again. She saw the man walking towards a child and her mother. Her eyes widened and she ran towards them, grabbing her yoyo. She gasped when a black haze went past her, and the child and mother where gone. Ladybug heard the child cry behind her, so she turned around, her eyes widening again.

"There, there. Everything is OK." She saw Chat patting the girls head, and the mother hugged her. Ladybug stared. Chat looked up and stared back. The mother and child ran away, and Chat snapped out of his trance.

"Hi." He suddenly said. He was a gentleman, really, but those curves in her suit… He just had to take a small little peek…

Gorgeous.

"Long time no see, my gorgeous lady." He said, grinning and looking back into her eyes, but also watching the shadow guy behind her. Lucky for him, Ladybug didn't see were he was staring at a second ago. He also upgraded his nicknames for her.

Ladybug smiled and she walked towards him. She gave him a sudden hug and his eyes widened.

Her boo-

'GENTLEMAN, ADRIEN.' Chat mentally yelled to himself. Even though Plagg was melted in his ring, he still felt the annoying, cheeky grin.

He wanted to hug back, but Marinette's face suddenly flashed in his mind. "Euhm... That guy. He is going to attack." Chat said shy, trying to change the subject and hoping Ladybug would let go. He did like it and he really honestly missed her, but he really, really liked Marinette a lot.

Ladybug turned around, seeing the man running towards them. Chat and Ladybug gulped when the man ran towards them with a knife in his hands. "Give me your Miraculous!" He yelled. They both looked with half lidded eyes. Same old, same old…

"Come with something original…" Chat said, avoiding the stab. He looked at the clothes of the man, seeing cook clothes. Was he a sous chef? Ladybug looked around. This was too easy…

She stopped and looked around intently. Her eyes widened as she looked into the sky. She saw knifes floating with string of darkness. Is that guy directing them with his shadow? She looked at him and the knifes were indeed attached with the darkness around him. One knife got thrown towards her, but she avoided it fast. She screeched in fear as the knife got far into the ground. Those things were dangerous!

Chat looked at her, but he tackled her fast when another one flew towards her. They avoided it and Chat landed on her. He grabbed his baton and swung it, hitting another knife aiming for them. Ladybug looked at him. Even though the situation was dangerous, she couldn't help but wonder when his back and shoulders have gotten so muscular. Chat hit another knife.

"Use your lucky charm. I will protect you." Chat said, still with his back towards her. His neck has also gotten more manly…

"Y-Yeah." She said. She grabbed her yoyo and Chat hit another knife. His reflexes were superb. "Lucky Charm!" she yelled, throwing her yoyo in the air. A light emitted and an item dropped down. Ladybug caught it and looked. It was a big magnet. What was she supposed to do with that?

She looked at the cook and her gaze landed on his spatula. She smiled softly. The spatula was made of metal, that should work. Ladybug smiled and ran towards the cook. She avoided a few knifes while Chat was protecting himself. She jumped and put her hands on the cooks shoulders, making a handstand. She landed behind him and her magnet dragged the spatula with her in the progress. She threw the spatula into the air and she threw her yoyo against it, breaking the spatula in the air.

"Amazing!" Chat said, impressed by Ladybugs moves. She still got it.

The green with black spider got out of the spatula and Ladybug caught it with her yoyo like she did with the butterflies. Her yoyo pulled back into her hand.

"Gotcha." She said with a smile. The knifes fell onto the ground and Chat gasped, avoiding them. Ladybug went onto her knees and opened her yoyo, making the little green spider crawl out. The dark shadow got cleansed out of the spider, making it total green now "Bye bye, little spider." She said with a smile, less scared than she thought she would be.

Chat walked towards the cook and Ladybug threw the magnet into the air, returning everything back to normal. "Are you ok, sir?" Chat asked, crouching to be on the same eye level as the cook. The cook looked around, not getting what had happened.

"Hey!" Ladybug suddenly said "You are one of the contestants from 'Master Chef'!" She recognized him now without the darkness. The cook looked at her and nodded "Do you remember what happened?" she asked.

"Uhm…" He muttered "I didn't finish my recipe in time, and they laughed at me… So I got really mad. I grabbed my spatula… And the rest is a dark blur…" He explained. Ladybug and Chat Noir looked at each other. They smiled at each other and they did the same tradition as years ago. A fist bump.

"Great work!" They grinned.

Chat and Ladybug promised each other see meet at the Eifel tower again an hour later. Their miraculous could charge again. They sat high in the Eifel tower, so they could get their privacy. Paris was really enthusiastic now Ladybug and Chat Noir returned.

They both looked over Paris, looking at the charm of it. Chat had one leg hanging of the edge and one was pulled to his body. His arm rested on that knee. Ladybug had her both legs to her body, hugging her knees. "Three years already..." Ladybug muttered.

They had been talking about the past, about how shocked they were when they found out Gabriel Agreste was Hawk Moth. But they also found out he got brainwashed the more he used his Kwami.

Chat smiled, looking towards the bank where the bank heist happened three years ago. Ladybug almost got shot, so it was quite dangerous. It was peaceful after that. They did call each other often, but even that after some time got less.

Ladybug looked at him from her eye corner, hoping he wouldn't see. He was looking at Paris, as if he was daydreaming. He always already looked masculine when they were young, but now it even got more. His tight costume made it worse to look at as it accentuated everything. His shoulder blades, pecs and arms really got beautiful. His face also got more manlier. It's funny how his suite grew mature with him. The catbell also got smaller... Or did he grow bigger?

Chat already got his fair share of staring at his partner. He had to hold himself back all the time, to not pinch her butt. She now also had an inbraid instead of the two ponytails. It looked better for her age. Chat looked at the clock of a church. He had to go back to work soon, before Marinette arrived. And Sabrina might get worried. "I have to go soon." Chat said.

Ladybug pouted and nodded. She had to go too... Adrien and Sabrina were probably waiting... "Me too... But I don't want to..." she muttered. Chat looked at her with surprise. Ladybug was always cheery, he wasn't used to her being upset.

"What happened?" he asked, looking at her worried. He wasn't sure if she was going to tell him, but he could try and support her.

"I had a conversation with my boss... It is confusing." she muttered. "I confessed to him a few years ago and he rejected me... Now he suddenly confessed to me yesterday." she said, hugging her knees tighter. Chat looked towards the city again. "I bet you're not in the mood to listen to someone's love story." She said with a soft smile, looking at him.

He looked at her again with also a sweet smile. "I really don't mind. Just remember everything happens for a reason and I bet everything will turn out just fine." he said with a slight shrug. Ladybug smiled and nodded. Maybe he was right...

"I am still afraid he is using me as some sort of replacement for the other girl he likes…" Ladybug said, hugging her knees tighter. Even though it didn't make much sense because Adrien liked Ladybug… So also Marinette.

"Men aren't like that. Well, most. But I bet you are worrying about nothing." He stood up and stretched. "I really have to go. I bet we'll see each other again."

Ladybug smiled and nodded. She stood up and grabbed her yoyo "And if not, I will call you." she said with a smile. She shot her yoyo away. "Cya!" she yelled with a grin, flying away.

Chat smiled and waved. She got out of his sight, and his smile turned into a confused frown.

Marinette opened the door of the office with a sigh. She collected her courage and finally opened it. She wanted to tell Rose about everything what happened, just for some support, but she was busy with costumers.

"Good afternoon." She muttered softly, hoping the atmosphere was good. How was Adrien handling it?

"Good afternoon!" Adrien said with a grin and a cup of coffee. Marinette looked flabbergasted. How did he get so cheery? Marinette listened and she heard the radio from Sabrina's office. The news told Ladybug and Chat Noir returned after three years of absence.

She looked at Adrien, seeing him hum as he was working through some paperwork. "Are you happy Ladybug returned?" she asked pained. Adrien looked at her but smiled. Marinette shook her head and walked to her office. She bet his feelings for her now went back to Ladybug. He was in love with her alter ego…

"We have to deliver the dress." Adrien suddenly said. "I was planning to do it this morning, but I want to do it together with you."

Marinette turned around and looked at him with a cocked eyebrow. Was he serious? Was he really going to act as if nothing had happened yesterday? Maybe it was for the best… "Ok." She suddenly said. "I'll be ready in a second." She put her purse into the office. She let it open for Tikki. She closed the door and Tikki softly floated out of the purse, going towards the window. She looked worried when she saw Adrien and Marinette get into the car.

Adrien buckled his seatbelt, and he glanced fast at Marinette, seeing what he wanted to see. He started the car and Marinette looked at the package with the dress on her lap. He drove away and it was awkwardly quiet. "Are you feeling better?" Adrien asked. Marinette looked at him. She looked back at the package again and played with the corner of it.

"Sort of." She answered. She was honest at least... She looked at him and she blushed a little. He looked really mature when he drove his car... He had a small Toyota car. He didn't want anything too big or fancy and a small car came really in handy in the busy streets of Paris.

He didn't say anything and neither did she. Adrien was just staring at the road. She wasn't sure if he was in deep thoughts or if he was concentrating on the road. "If..." She started. "If you saw Ladybug again... Would you instantly fall in love with her again?"

Adrien looked at her with surprise. That was bold. She looked at the package again, blushing as she did. He smiled and looked at the road again. "I don't know..." he said. "I think I did fall in love with her again."

Marinette gasped softly and looked with widened eyes at him. Somehow, she had an inner fight with herself. Should she confess who she is? "W-What?"

"I did see her again." He stated. Marinette frowned and traced his face with her eyes, searching some hint of sarcasm. Was he lying? She didn't see him today when she was Ladybug. Was he purposely hurting her?

"What." she now stated, getting mad and hurt. They stopped in front of red lights and Adrien had his elbow on his steering wheel and his hand on his mouth, thinking. He was tapping with his other hand on his steering wheel. He looked at her, and she looked at him with a very mad frown. She was even prepared to get out of the car. Why would he lie!? She couldn't ask him, because how would she know he was lying? He was still staring at her.

"I'm not as naive as I used to be..." he suddenly muttered as his gaze didn't move away. Damn, she was beautiful even when she looked mad. Her mad frown now got mixed with confusion.

"What? Are you calling me naive!?" She asked. Adrien really had to contain his laughter. She didn't change at all. "Alright, think about this! If Ladybug and I stood in front of you. Who would you pick!"

Adrien looked at her, and the red lights turned into green. Before driving, he said with a grin "That wouldn't make sense..."

He drove further and now Marinette was flabbergasted. "W…Wouldn't make sense?" she asked, really confused "What do you mean? I'm asking you to chose between Ladybug or me." She said. Adrien kept smiling as he parked his car. They got at the address and Adrien stopped the engine. He looked at her and she looked back with a pout.

"I'm not going to chose. I can't chose between two people when they are the same person." He said with a smile. Marinette looked with widened eyes in his green eyes. What did he… say?

"What?" she muttered, frozen and pale. Was this a bluff or did he actual find out?

"You told me this morning you didn't want to go to work… Because your 'boss' confessed to you… And you were afraid you were a replacement of the girl he liked… Remember?" He asked. Marinette looked at him, her mouth gaping slowly. She didn't tell him? She told Ch… "But that's the best part! You don't have to worry about it!"

"Are you…" she whispered, tears collecting in her eyes.

Adrien smiled softly "Yes, I am, my purrcious lady."

A cat pun… All her worries disappeared. The guy liking her, also liked Ladybug. And Chat, the one constantly hitting on Ladybug, was the same guy… "I swear I wanted to tell you I'm Ladybug." She suddenly said, wiping her tears away. "But I was afraid you liked her more."

Adrien grabbed her hand, the one she was wiping her tears with. She looked at him and he still kept on smiling. "Ladybug is really clever, smart and creative. You are really sweet, cute and funny. And together you are Marinette, the woman I really like." He explained. "I liked Ladybug at first because I got to know her better. You were shy and reserved… But after we defeated Hawk Moth, we got to know each other better just like the plain Marinette and Adrien, instead of Ladybug and Chat." He explained.

They looked at each other and it got quiet in his car. Adrien suddenly snorted loudly and Marinette gasped "Hahaha, sorry, I am so stupid for rejecting you. I rejected you for you. I am really stupid." He said having a laughter fit. Marinette looked surprised, but a smile also found a place on her lips.

She still adored his laugh like she always did. It only now sounded more husky. "Forgive me for hurting you. Please…" He said softly, grabbing her hands.

Marinette smiled. "Of course." She whispered. "As long as you like the real me more than Ladybug."

Adrien frowned and looked at her. His eyes were tracing her body "I don't know… Your suit looked really tight. I loved it." He said with his known Chat grin. Marinette stared at him and her face turned scarlet fast as soon as she realized what he actually said.

"Have you been checking my body!" she yelled red.

Adrien smiled and shrugged his shoulders "I saw you checking me out too on the Eifel tower, so we are even." He said with a smile. Marinette blushed and she looked away, feeling too embarrassed. He did see it?! She put her hands on her cheeks, trying to hide her blush. "Liked what you saw back then?"

"Leave me alone." She said beneath her hands, trying to hide it all.

"Let's make a deal." Adrien said, leaning forward to Marinette. He saw one eye peeking between her fingers. She looked so enormous cute and beautiful. If he was Chat now, he would purr his ass off. "We are going to deliver the dress now, and go somewhere to eat after. Like a date."

Marinette abruptly grabbed the package and she stepped out of the car. Adrien looked surprised as she already went to the house. He laughed and also stepped out of the car walking behind her. Marinette knocked the door and she felt nervous feeling him stand behind her.

The door opened and an old, but sophisticated woman showed herself. "Good afternoon. I am Marinette Dupain-Cheng from Agreste Design, and this is Adrien Agreste, my bo-"

"Colleague." Adrien said, interrupting her. He shook hands with the lady "We are finished with your dress and we are wondering if it fits well."

"My dress!" The lady said enthusiasts "Please, come in. I will put it on fast." The colleagues smiled and they went inside. Marinette took place on the big couch and Adrien was looking at the crystal sculptures. This lady had money… The floor was made of marble and the chandeliers looked huge. A white fuzzy cat went to Marinette and it crawled onto her lap, making the woman startled.

"Hello, you." Marinette said with a smile. The cat purred and Marinette scratched its ear. Adrien looked up and he turned around, seeing how that beautiful woman was cuddling a cat. He kept staring at the cat, seeing how it was getting pats. Marinette looked up and she saw Adrien staring. She grinned cheeky after she noticed. Was he getting jealous?

He kept staring and Marinette softly giggled, getting his attention. He blushed and looked away fast.

The woman walked downstairs with the dress. It was a long purple dress with glitters and diamonds. Marinette looked up and saw the dress. She stood up and walked to the woman, inspecting the dress. "It looks good!" she said with a smile. Adrien also looked, but not at the dress. He kept smiling whenever Marinette looked happy and proud at her work.

"I really love it." the woman said excited. "It looks exactly like I imagined. I'm ready for the benefit night."

"It really fits you." the designer said with a grin. "Sabrina, our other colleague, will send you a bill." she explained, while the cat is rubbing against her leg. Marinette looked down and saw the white fuzball. She crouched and scratched the cat behind its ear.

"It was nice helping you." Adrien said with a smile, wanting to leave as soon as possible. Why was he jealous of a freaking cat...

"Would you like something to drink before you leave?" She asked. Marinette looked at Adrien.

"No, thank you. We wanted to go on a date after delivering the dress." Adrien said with a grin. He looked at Marinette and Marinette looked back with a blush.

"Aw, youngsters." The lady laughed "I fully understand. She did a great job on the dress. Spoil her as much as you can."

Marinette's blush deepened and she stood up, finished with cuddling the cat. "Thank you for your business." she said, shaking her hand.

She walked outside and the lady laughed. "What a sweet girl. The blush fits her."

"Isn't she adorable?" Adrien laughed. "Thank you for your business. I hope you steal the show at the benefit fund raising, ma'am."

Adrien walked towards the car after their goodbye's and he chuckled, seeing Marinette in the car. He stepped into his car and he looked at her. She looked away in embarrassed. "Where are we going to eat?" she looked at him and he looked back with a sweet smile.

"At Pesto's!" Marinette said enthusiast. She really wanted pasta or pizza.

"Italian for the first date, it is." Adrien said with a grin, starting the engine.

"Is this really a first date?" She wondered. She looked at her clothes and her face from the window reflection. "I look horrible for a first date."

"Are you kidding?" Adrien asked as he drove through the streets "You look beautiful. I still can't stare at you for too long without blushing." Marinette blushed slightly. She got nervous. The realization slowly came to her as they drove further. A first date. What do people normally do on a first date?

Do they already kiss? Or only hug? She had no idea. She tried to look at other men when Adrien had rejected her, but it was hard because Adrien always was around her and she still really liked him, so she didn't have any experience with dates. Maybe she just had to talk about a different subject for a while.

As Adrien was driving and searching for a parking spot in mid Paris, they were talking about their Miraculous and Kwami's.

"Plagg... That's a very nice name." Marinette said with a smile as she stepped out if the car.

"He likes you a lot." Adrien said, closing the car with his remote. He remembered Plagg headbutting him yesterday... They walked to the restaurant and Adrien opened the door. A waiter walked to them and they looked at him. "Oh, mister Agreste!" He said shocked. Adrien rolled his eyes and Marinette looked surprised "Please follow me!"

They followed the waiter and Marinette leaned forward, whispering "Do you come here often?"

"No, my dad does." Adrien whispered back. Marinette nodded in understanding and her eyes slightly widened, seeing the one sitting they were talking about. He still scared her, after the Hawk Moth things.

"A-Adrien." She whispered, nodding her head towards his father.

"I know." Adrien whispered back. Marinette and Adrien sat down on the chairs of their destinated table. Adrien frowned, as he looked at the back of his father a few tables away from here.

"I am your waiter for tonight. Would you like to drink something?"

"A red whine for me, please." Marinette said with a sweet smile.

"A coke for me." Adrien said, now finally looking at the waiter. The waiter gave them the menu's and he walked away with a nod.

Marinette looked at him with a frown. "If you rather want us to go somewhere else, I don't mind."

Adrien smiled and shook his head "No need. As long as I am with you, I'm happy."

Marinette blushed and looked at her plate. They both looked up when the waiter came with the drinks. "Have you thought about your choice?"

"Alla Carbonara, please." Marinette said with a smile, giving the menu back to the waiter.

"And a pizza calzone, please." He said, also giving the menu. The waiter nodded again and walked away. Adrien looked at his napkin and Marinette looked at him. She really did notice he hadn't looked at her much, and if he looked, it wasn't for long.

"Adrien." He hummed, now looking at the tablecloth. "I notice you really don't look long at me." She said. He looked up at her and he looked away again. "How about a staring contest?"

"A what?" He asked with a chuckle

"A staring contest. Look longer at me than 5 seconds and maybe you'll get used to it." she said with a shrug.

He leaned his head on his hand, supported by his arm. He looked at her with a half smile. "I can never get used by your beauty." He said. Marinette blushed deeply "That was nerve wrecking. I meant it, but I don't think I will say it again." He said laughing, getting nauseous himself.

Marinette smiled and leaned forward looking him in his eyes. "Let's see."

Adrien also kept looking, winning this staring contest. His eyes traced her soft face, going to her nose. He wanted to place a kiss on it… it looked cute and little, and the freckles made it even look cuter. He blushed a bit, but he kept staring.

Marinette smiled when she saw him blushing. He kept staring at her and his gaze now landed on her lips. Those pink, soft luscious lips. Marinette noticed he had been staring at her lips, so she was going to take advantage of it. She licked her lips, and bit her underlip after. He turned scarlet and he looked away fast, making Marinette laugh. He definitely was staring at her lips.

"You cheated!" He exclaimed with a blush. Marinette kept laughing and Adrien looked at her with a pout. They both looked up as someone stood next to their table. Adrien frowned and Marinette looked at Adrien.

"Business dinner?" Gabriel asked, looking at his son.

His frown turned deeper. "Ye-"

"No." Marinette suddenly interrupted. "We are having a date."

Adrien and Gabriel looked with widened eyes. Gabriel's eyes turned into a normal size as he looked at her. "So… Having a date with the boss?" Marinette smiled and nodded.

"I don't want to be the 'boss'. You made me the 'boss' without me wanting it." Adrien seethed mad.

"But now you got to work with Marinette." Gabriel said with a shrug "You always were close with her so I don't see the problem."

"The problem is me being the 'boss'. I don't like to shout orders or travel a lot like you." Marinette looked at them, hoping for some sort of miracle to happen and to stop this. Marinette looked up when she saw the waiter walk towards them with the food.

"Here is your dinner, madam and sir." The waiter said, putting the plates down on the table. Gabriel gave Adrien one last glance, and vice versa, before his father left.

Marinette looked worried at Adrien and said rubbed his face to cool his frustration "Sorry." He said

"It's ok…" She said "Are you still mad at him?"

"Kinda." He said "After finding out who Hawk Moth was, he acted as if nothing happened, but I couldn't forget how he tried to hurt me and Lad- you." He answered, still not really used to the 'Marinette is Ladybug' thing "He still hasn't made amends or something. And he suddenly made me the boss of a company… And I always used to be humble, but now not really anymore." He chuckled.

Marinette looked at her pasta and back at him "If it helps… You are the best boss ever."

Adrien looked at her too. She saw the joy in his eyes again he had before his father interrupted. "You only say that because I am paying for dinner." He said with a smirk.

"Maybe." She said with a shrug and a grin. They began eating and they were talking a little. Marinette looked at him and it all felt very surreal. She was suddenly eating and sitting with her all time crush, still looking handsome as ever. Those beautiful emerald orbs… Which began to gaze back at her. He smiled and she smiled back. He gave her a piece of his pizza, and she blushed thinking this was what couples did…

She looked at him again with shyness, wondering if they were a couple or not?

They were done with dinner and they went outside to walk towards the car. Marinette was blowing hot air into her hands, feeling how cold it was outside. Adrien looked at her and blushed, having a mental argument in his mind if he should grab her hand or not. The woman was looking into the night sky, seeing a few stars. There weren't many because of the city lights. Adrien lifted his hand and grabbed hers. She turned scarlet as she felt his warm hand on hers. He also blushed as he felt her soft hand and they walked to the car hand in hand. He opened the car door and Marinette got in. Adrien got in and he started the engine.

It was quiet between them, but not an uncomfortably silence. They both were drowned in their thoughts, and funny enough, they were thinking the same thing.

'What do they do on a first date?' They both wondered. Just say bye? Or give a kiss? Not anything too awkward because they have to see each other again tomorrow, but now everything seems awkward.

'I think I'm letting her decide what to do…' Adrien thought, also concentrating on the road.

'Maybe a small kiss on the cheek? He did pay for dinner… I have to thank him some way… Only saying thanks seems so…' she also thought, playing with the hem of her jacket. She looked at him and smiled "Can I meet Plagg tomorrow?" she suddenly asked.

Adrien smiled and nodded "You're his best friend if you give him camembert." He said with a chuckle. "What does Tikki like?"

"Anything sweet." She said with a sweet smile, happy they could normally talk about this. "She likes you a lot already. She was the one convincing me to confess to you."

Adrien's lips turned into a thin line and half lidded eyes "I bet she hated me after finding out it didn't go like she wanted."

"Not really." Marinette answered softly. "She was glad you were honest and told me what you thought. She was really supportive to the both of us."

Adrien laughed, grabbing her attention "She is different from Plagg. He was really mad at me back then."

Marinette smiled as she stared at him. His handsome face really drowned her in. She looked up as she saw they were at her house. The same old bakery. She looked back at him and smiled. "Thank you for today." She said, leaning forward to place a small kiss on his cheek.

He turned his head to look at her, and both their eyes widened in shock. She accidently placed a kiss on his lips now instead on his cheek. They blushed a new color of scarlet, one which wasn't invented yet. They looked at each other and Marinette stuttered. "O..Ok. T-… Bye." She said, getting out of the car and walking towards the front door. She glanced one time to him before she closed the door behind her.

He laid his head on his steering wheel. It went fast. What the hell actually happened? He lifted his head and he blushed, thinking about her soft lips. His belly felt weird and he frowned

"I thought the butterflies wouldn't tease us anymore…"

I honestly believe Hawk Moth is Gabriel - Same voice actor and face features. Thanks for reading and review your thoughts °3°
