Hey beans!

I'm finally back!

Special thanks to mayuralover for my 100th review on the now complete story, 'The Promise'. This story goes out to her.

Also thanks for the motivation Bugaboo!

Adrien's POV

When I enter my room after fencing lessons I strip off my gear and collapse onto my bed. After a while I notice a faint floral scent surrounding my bed. When I roll onto my side and stare at my night stand I notice something bright red sitting in a vase next to two envelopes.

When I sit up my heart skips a beat when I realize it's a single red rose.

Plagg zipps over to my shoulder and stares at it. He yawns.

"Must be just another 'admirer'."

I pick up the first envelope and examine the neat writing. I instantly recognise it.

Marinette.

But I thought she didn't like me at all. I mean she's never been able to speak without stuttering around me.

Surely it's not a prank…

I gingerly open the first letter and I'm shocked by her heartfelt words. They're sweet and kind. The second letter however…

Dear Adrien,

From the moment my umbrella closed on me the first day we met, to the time where I kissed your cheek on Heroes day, I've been falling for you.

When we nearly kissed during the class before Maylene was akumatized I could have sworn in that moment, all was right in the world.

When we escaped from your crazy fans before Gorizilla was akumatized, I feel like I saw more of who you really were. Behind the makeup, the posters, and the designer clothes, you are a selfless and kind friend. I got to see something that I'm not sure anyone else has ever seen.

When I gave you my lucky charm bracelet you shared with me some your insecurities.

Every time I see you I'm reminded of how selfless you are, but when it really comes down to it, your rely on your friends for support and comfort.

I have a feeling your have more family struggles than you show.

I just want you to know that whether you feel the same way I do, you can always count on me to be there for you in every way possible.

-Marinette

My heart races in my chest.

Sweet sweet Marinette…. In love with me?

I'm lost in a dazed silent panic when plagg shouts in my ear. "EARTH TO ADRIEN! ARE YOU STILL IN THERE?"

I jump a good three feet into the air and clutch the letters to my chest.

"Plagg?! What?! Why did you do that?!"

"You zoned out… again." He drones before mumbling. "I really think you need professional help, kid."

I sigh and run my hand across her pretty handwriting.

"You gonna write a letter back, or are you gonna leave her hanging?" Plagg wonders aloud while he snacks on a bit of cheese.

"Write a letter, duh." I scoff.

"Why do I always get stuck with the hopeless romantics?" Plagg complains.

Dear Marinette,
