Marinette and Adrien have discovered each other's identities, and have been dating for two weeks now. The night after a particularly long akuma battle, Marinette brings lunch to Adrien for when he finishes his grueling photo shoot.

Adrien was exhausted. The photographer kept yelling at him to perk up, to smile, but he just couldn't. The make-up artist had gotten rid of the bags under his eyes, but she could do nothing to make them any less heavy. He merely stared blankly at the camera as the photographer got more and more frustrated. He knew his father would hear about this and he would most likely get a lecture, but he honestly didn't care right now.

Then he heard a beautiful sound. He whipped his head to see Marinette whispering to him. She gave him a wide smile and pointed at it, the message clear. No faking needed, he grinned at his lady to the photographer's glee. Photos were snapped, the flash binding but Adrien smiled through it all.

After nearly fifteen very long minutes the photographer finally put his camera away, and announced that the shoot was over. Adrien sauntered over to Marinette, flashing her a wide grin, pulling her into a kiss. He loved the little squeak she let out whenever he took her by surprise. Luckily for him she never minded his surprises. She grinned as he finally pulled away. "Miss me kitty?" She teased.

"All day, Princess." He purred. She took his hand and led him over to a park bench, sitting him down and setting a basket in her lap. His eyes lit up. "Marinette, you are the best girlfriend anyone could ask for."

She giggled as she pulled out a full lunch for them both. "Tuna and mayonnaise for me, peanut butter and jelly with a honey middle for you." She said, handing the excited boy his sandwich and laughing as he eyed it hungrily before taking a huge bite. "Save room for dessert." She said, giving him a peek of the large strawberry tart she had at the bottom.

Adrien's eyes widened and his mouth watered, then he looked over his shoulder at Nathalie. He turned to her, whispering, "Let's go somewhere more private."

She gave him a weird look but nodded, packing up the lunch and following him through the park until they found a secluded tree. She sat in the grass with him, and they cuddled as they ate their sandwiches. Adrien finished his first, licking his fingers and nuzzling Marinette as she finished hers, very aware of the big grin on his girlfriend's face. "So." she said, taking her last bite. "Why the secrecy?"

Adrien eyed the tart. "Nathalie has me on a strict diet, stuff like that is off limits unless it's planned."

Marinette covered her mouth. "Oh My God, I'm so sorry! I didn't know…"

Adrien laughed, taking the tart out and laying it between them. "Don't be, I love every treat you bring me. Besides, I think I can handle it what with all the extra 'exercise' I do." He said, winking at her.

She smiled, handing him a fork. "Well, then dig in."

He nodded frantically, taking a large forkful, and placing the whole piece on his tongue. He moaned, closing his eyes in bliss as Marinette laughed. "It's that good?"

"Mari, you are by far the best baker I have ever tasted the food of. It's heavenly." He said after swallowing.

"I'm glad you like it, there's a few other berries in there to accompany the strawberries." Marinette said, beaming at the praise.

Adrien took another forkful, but this time raised it to Marinette's mouth. "Taste your work, I'd feel guilty eating this alone."

She grinned, opening her mouth so he could slide the fork in. She had to hand it to herself, it was good. Adrien took another bite, then seeing that she had swallowed offered her another bite. This went on until the tart was gone, Adrien alternatively relishing the sweet treat himself and feeding Marinette her own creation. Soon enough it was gone, and Adrien stared longingly at the empty tin. Marinette laughed at his expression, tickling his chin. "You know, I can bring you all the baked goods you want, kitty. Just say the word."

Adrien beamed at her. "Again, best girlfriend ever." His eyelids lowered a bit, and he leaned into her to kiss her again. They both had strawberry breath, and Marinette let herself be held by Adrien as he relished her lips, their tongues wrestling before Marinette won. They lost track of time, not realizing how long they stayed in each other's embrace until they heard a cough. Adrien opened his eyes to see a smiling Nathalie standing just a few feet away. He grinned sheepishly at her, Marinette blushing and averting her gaze. "Hey, Nathalie."

She eyed the empty tin. "If you're quite finished, Adrien, you have fencing class to get to." she said, smile growing.

Adrien stood up. "Yeah, yeah okay. I'll be right there."

Nathalie nodded, turning to head for the limo, glancing back to see Adrien giving his girlfriend one last kiss goodbye. It was great to see him so happy again.
