Prompt: Marinette is used to physical contact, whether is hugging Ivan to getting a piggy back ride from Kim to laying her head on Nino's shoulder to high-fiving Max and bumping shoulders with Nathanael. But never with Adrien. And his kitty side just doesn't like it.

Or the one where Marinette is very touchy feely with her friends and Adrien is a possessive little shit.

Adrien heard it before he saw it. The infectious laughter that always seems to follow Marinette wherever she goes. She was with Alix, Rose, Alya, Kim and Max. They were all talking animatedly about some new game or probably another one of Kim's bets, but what bugged him was Marinette's hand on Max's shoulder as she explained something. A bitter rumble vibrated his chest.

"Yo dude, what's with that face man?" Nino's voice asked from next to him.

"What face?"

"That sour puss face." Adrien wrinkled is nose at the ironic expression. "It's nothing out of the ordinary. Marinette is a physical person." Adrien's eyes widened and stared incredulously at Nino, who's own eyes widened and he flailed his arms.

"Not like that! She just naturally has a need for physical touch like a pat on the shoulder or a hug!"

Adrien nodded but couldn't help but think glumly, She never does that with me...

The next time he noticed was when they were at their lunch break. Marinette was sitting with Alya, nibbling on a cookie while talking to her about whatever girls talk about, probably the Ladyblog, when Kim dragged both of them into a picture with Rose, Julika, Alix, and Nathanael. There was her laugh again. Adrien couldn't help but tense when Marinette was squished next to Nathanael. He had his arm wrapped around her shoulders, a red blush spread across his face. Marinette turned to him and giggled her laugh and they took many many many pictures. Adrien didn't notice he was crushing his soda can until he heard the fist crack. He stood and placed a care-free smile on his face as he ducked under Kim's phone, avoiding Alya's knowing look and forced himself between Nathanael and Marinette. Both looked at him in confusion and he chuckled a little embarrassed.

"I want pictures too!" He whined playfully causing his friends to chuckle. Nathanael looked less then pleased with his appearance next to Marinette but nodded while Marinette looked at him suspiciously. He flashed her a smile and a wink which made her sputter. Wrapping an arm around her waist, he pushed her closer to his chest and felt a happy rumble go through him.

Marinette looked up at Adrien with an unreadable look. Only one person she knew "purred" like that. When Adrien looked down at her again, squeezing her waist in light reassurance, she flushed a healthy pink and smiled, looking back at the camera.

Kim and Alix had another bet. They each had to carry cargo around Trocadero Square once. Alix was of course on her skates while Kim was confident in is running skills. The competitors had to carry one person around with them. Alix had decided to take Max since he was the lightest and it would be easier for her on her roller blades.

"Fine! Take my best friend!" Kim sniffed with a huff. He scanned the crowd of their friends before smirking. "I'll just take little Mari then."

"WHAT?!" Three shouts yelled. Alya was clutching onto Marinette who was blinking owlishly at Kim.

"Me?! You-You want me to...what?"

"Why Mari?" Adiren felt his cat side hiss.

"She is the only one i probably wouldn't get smacked by for carrying her!"

"What about Rose?" Adrien asked, crossing his arms.

"Dude, chill, it's not like he is going to drop her." Nino chuckled. Unfortunately, that didn't help him at all. He felt the color drain as he looked over Marinette (was she always that small looking?) and how she sighed.

"Fine. But if you drop me i swear," She looked around before huffing again, "I will sick Alya on you." Kim chuckled and nodded his head.

"Noted." He easily picked up Marinette on his back and held her firmly by her thighs. Marinette gripped is shoulders and clung to his hoodie. Alix had Max cling to her waist and on her heels. Sabrina held a flag and was hopping on both feet.

"Ready!" She called. "Set!" Adrien tensed and his green eyes narrowed. "GO!"

They took off running/skating. It was only one lap but you could see how they pushed themselves to win. Kim was in the lead, then it was Alix, then Kim as he took the first turn. Alix struggled to keep up before using the extra weight to her advantage. She put herself lower to the ground and pushed off, zooming past Kim and Marinette. And she won the race. It was all in good nature and Kim high-fived his female competitor.

"You doing ok back their Dupain-Cheng?" Kim called back as Marinette hadn't let go. Alya burst into a fit of laughter as she realized what happened.

"She fell asleep!"

Adrien gently tugged Mainette back and she opened her eyes tiredly.

"Huh? Oh, Kim, sorry. What happened? Who won?"

"This bitch here! Hit me high!" Alix cheered. Marinette hit her hand. "Hit me low! Yeah buddy!"

"How did you fall asleep?" Adrien chuckled. Marinette flushed and she giggled to herself.

"Mari here is a total sap." Nino teased. Marinette shoved him and grinned. "She falls asleep to heartbeats. Did it ever since we were what four, five years old? Used to fall asleep on me and Alya all the time!"

"She still falls asleep on me! Such a cuddler."

Marinette's face flushed scarlet and she sheepishly rubbed the back of her neck.

"Not my fault your all so comfy!"

Adrien had see her hug at least every single person in the class, even Ivan and attempted to hug Chloe. But never has she ever tried to hug Adrien. Not once. Sometimes she looked like she would but backed off last minute. Did he intimidate her? Did he not give off the cuddly vibe? Did she not like him very much? It was all so confusing. He had the last straw when she was laying across Nino, sketching in her sketchbook at the park. School was let out, no akuma attacks and the friends where just hanging. Alya had her head on Adrien's shoulder as she checked the web for sights on Ladybug. Nino was lying on his back listening to his music. Marinette looked up and caught Adrien staring and gave a small timid smile. He grinned back at her and she looked back to her sketchbook.

"I want food." Alya said randomly. Marinette snorted and sat up, stretching.

"The bakery is just down the street. I could get us some treats." Nino made a noise of agreement as he stood while Alya cheered.

"I'll go with you." Adrien said, holding back the urge to say Princess. Marinette looked a bit shocked before nodding and standing. Adrien stood and the walked down the street. He watched Marinette from the corner of his eyes and could see she was nervously fiddling with her jacket sleeve. They entered the bakery and Adrien was hit with the smells of cookies, croissants, and cake batter. Everything Marinette.

"Hi maman!" Marinette called. An older looking chinese women turned to them and smiled.

"Marinette, who's your friend?"

"Uh, this is Adrien. Adrien this is my maman."

"Call me Sabine." Marinette's mother smiled. Adrien smiled back and couldn't help but think, this is what a home is like. Not a house but a home. Marinette grabbed a box and started putting different treats in it.

"Go on, pick something you like!" She encouraged him with no stutter. That is a step up. Adrien browsed and eagerly put two cookies and a chocolate croissant in it. "Though's are my favorite." Marinette said with a grin. They left after a few more minutes of browsing and went back to the park. Their friends where still lying there, Nino was leaning against the bench while Alya took Marinette's spot and was laying over his lap.

"Bon Appetit!"

"Here." Adrien muttered, sitting down and opening his arm for Marinette sit next to him. She grinned with a pink hue to her cheeks and settled next to him, almost immediately curling into his side. She really did like physical contact.

"What are you working on?" Adrien asked, taking a bite of his croissant and humming as it was reeeeaaaaallllllyyyyy good.

"Just some new designs, doodles and what not." Marinette grinned, nibbling on a cookie. He hummed again and subconsciously pulled her closer, not that she or he was complaining.

"They look really good." He praised. She grinned and turned, scratching under his chin. Adrien immediately purred and opened his neck more. Marinette paused and looked at him confused. Adrien coughed and felt himself blush a pretty shade of red.

"Chat?" She whispered. Adrien sighed and rested his head on her shoulder, looking over some other of her designs.

"What about that one Princess?"

He could feel Marinette sag in relief against him and he could vaguely hear Plagg in his own voice muttering, You little shit... And Adrien couldn't help but agree but that didn't stop him from finally getting a cuddle out of this girl as Adrien. He had a feeling they were going to have a lot to talk about. But it didn't matter as he felt Marinette run her finger's through his hair and he sighed.

A/N: And done! So this was sort of a one sided reveal chapter. I didn't plan for it to do that but it did but I'm happy for where it went. Don't forget to send in prompts ok! Byeeeee!
