~The Dance: Part 2~

Marinette Pov

…"Shall we?"

Adrien offered his arm out to her. She hesitated to take it, but only for a second. They were almost out the door before her parents showed up.

"Wait, wait! I want pictures." Her mom rushed over to stop them.

She was clutching a big camera, already clicking away. Her dad trailed behind seeming just as enthusiastic. Marinette had to shield her eyes from the harsh flash.

"Maman," She pleaded.

"Okay, just a few more pictures. Say cheese!"

Marinette was opened her mouth to protest some more, but she felt Adrien snake his arm around her waist and smile candidly at the camera. Okay, so maybe a few more pictures wouldn't hurt.

After her mom had taken about a thousand pictures, they finally made their way out the door. As the brisk night air hit her shoulders Marinette shivered. She had not designed this dress with warmth in mind.

"Cold?" Adrien looked at her with concern.

Before she could nod her head he had already shucked off his jacket and placed it on her shoulders. Marinette could have died right then and there. She was wearing Adrien's jacket. She was wearing Adrien's jacket! Which was still warm from his body heat and smelled just like him. She inhaled deeply. He smelled strongly of cheese? Whatever. She was wearing Adrien's jacket! Once they got to his limo Adrien, always the perfect gentleman, opened the door for her.

"After you princess."

"Thank y-you."

Had she been in her right mind, Marinette would have realized that only Chat called her this. But as it was she was lucky if she could remember her name. Adrien closed the door behind her before walking over to his side. An awkward silence ensued after he got in the car and Gorilla started toward the school. Marinette panicked. Should she say something? Marinette opened her mouth to say anything, she had no idea what, but was saved from sounding like an idiot when Adrien began to talk.

"So," He scratched the back of his head. "Chat Noir again huh? You must really like that guy."

Marinette was confused before she looked down and remembered what she was wearing. Great. With this and her costume from hero day he was going to think she was an obsessed gown. Why had she listen to Tikki?

"He's okay I guess." She shrugged.

Adrien face fell at her words. "Just okay?"

Right, she had listened to Tikki because Adrien had liked her Chat costume. Stupid Marinette. He was probably a fan of Chat's.

"I-" Before she could answer they pulled up to the school.

"We're here," Gorilla informed them from the front seat.

Adrien quickly got up to open her door. Marinette swooned. He had the best manners. Marinette's eyes widened when she saw the gym. It was decorated perfectly. Streamers hung from the ceiling and from the walls. Balloons were scattered everywhere. Different colored lights made the ordinarily dull gym glow with vibrancy. She shouldn't have expected any less. Alya was on the decorating committee after all. They had even somehow booked Jagged Stone to provide live entertainment. Marinette was once again snapped out of her thoughts by the sound of Adrien's voice.

"Can I take your coat? Well, I guess it's my coat." Adrien chuckled slightly.

Marinette blinked a couple of times before she processed what he said. It was pretty stuffy inside. She nodded handed him his jacket. He went off to go find somewhere to hang it when Marinette saw Alya waving her over.

She was wearing a cute orange dress Marinette made for her birthday and Nino had on a matching tie.

"Girl, you look stunning, no way is Adrien going to be able to resist you after tonight!"

Marinette blushed at the complement, choosing to ignore her friend's Adrien comment.

"Thanks, you look amazing too."

"Well I should, Paris's best fashion designer made it for me."

Marinette beemed. How had she gotten such a good friend?

"I'm really glad you like it."

"Quick question." Nino interjected. "Was that Adrien's jacket we saw you wearing when you came in?"

Her blush was all off the confirmation they needed.

"Oooooh," Alya squealed. "You guys are so going to get married."

"Who's getting married?"

Marinette hadn't noticed Adrien come back. She shot Alya a look that said "Don't say anything if you want to live."

"Oh! Er-My cousin!" She blurted out quickly.

"Well, tell them congratulations for me. I love weddings."

"Then I bet you can't wait to have your own. I wonder who the special girl will be. Do you have anyone in mind?" Nino questioned him.

Marinette elbowed Nino in the side as a warning and then focused her attention on Adrien. She was really curious about what he was going to say.

"Oh shut up," He shoved his friend playfully. "You know the answer to that one."

Alya and Marinette exchange a glance. What did that mean? She could tell that Alya was about to question him further, but their conversation was interrupted with a squeal.

"Adriekins!" Chloe wrapped Adrien in a bear hug. "I was wondering when you'd get here."

She pretended like she suddenly noticed Marinette standing next to him.

"Oh, hi Marinette. I didn't know they were letting hobos into the dance."

"Chloe." Adrien untangled himself. "Don't speak to Marinette that way."

Marinette was flattered, but she could handle Chloe.

"Why? She's dressed like a hobo. And is that another Chat Noir outfit? What are you, obsessed with him or something? Chat's stupid, Ladybug is obviously so much better than he is."

That's It. Nobody insulted her friends.

"You'd be lucky to have a friend like Chat. He's amazing and funny and sweet, everything that you're not. And he and Ladybug are a team. Chat's just as important as she is. Do you think Ladybug would be able to save Paris without him?"

Adrien Pov

Adrien stared at Marinette in awe. She sounded so sure talking about how great Chat was. Earlier in the car she had just said that he was okay, but she obviously admired him. Hearing her stand up for him to Chloe made him like her even more. A new song came on and Adrien held out his hand to her.

"Would you like to dance?"

Marinette just stared at him for a minute before smiling and taking his hand. He lead her right past Chloe, who watched them walk out onto the dance floor, gaping like a fish. She huffed away in a storm of anger, yelling for Sabrina to follow her.

Dancing with Marinette was extremely entertaining. Once she got over her nervousness, she was a really amazing person to hang out with. She wasn't a great dancer, but she didn't let that stop her from having a good time. She actually made Adrien laugh when she busted out her robot. And Marinette was laughing right along with him. She did this little snort thing when she laughed. It was adorable.

Earlier, when Nino had asked him who he wanted to marry, he didn't hesitate. There has always been only one girl for him. Now, as he was dancing and having a good time with Marinette, he wasn't so sure. What are you thinking? Of course you want to marry Ladybug. She's your soulmate. Adrien sighed. He didn't know what to think anymore.

Suddenly a slow song came on. Everybody partnered off, including Alya and Nino. Adrien didn't hesitate to ask Marinette to dance with him. She nervously wrapped her arms around his neck and he gently rested his hands on her waist. She was so warm, and she smelled really good. Adrien covertly tried to take a whiff of her hair. She smelt just like vanilla and freshly baked cookies. He groaned inwardly. Adrien could not resist baked goods.

Marinette glanced up at him nervously and bit her lip. She had the biggest blue eyes. Adrien couldn't help himself, she was just too freaking adorable. He lifted a hand from her waist and placed it carefully on her cheek, smoothing away a loose tendril of hair.

"Marinette." He whispered softly, almost to himself.

He had no idea what came over him. It was probably her intoxicating scent. Adrien was acting like a madman and the only explanation was that he was not in his right mind. Cookies could do that to a person. He leaned in slowly. She let out a little gasp and her arms tightened around his neck, pulling him closer. Her eyes closed a split second before his did. He could feel her breath on his lips. They were so close. Adrien inhaled deeply and-

"I am the Admiral! Surrender to me so that you can live up to your potential!"

Hahaha! Sorry about that ending, but I couldn't have them kiss just yet. I really liked this chapter and I hope you do too :) I'm also glad that you guys like the crack fic. More too come! Any ideas are still welcome. I also have some ideas for future fics so stay tuned! I love Adrinette so much! almost as much as I love Marichat. Like I said, this story is going to be mostly fluff, so prepare your feels! Thank you so much for all of the reviews and favorites! I can't believe that this was originally meant to be a one shot.

That's all for now,

Okay, crack fic time! Keep in mind that's these snippets are not in order. Read at your own risk.

Adrien remembers the exact moment he realized his father was a pedophile. He was over at Marinette's working on a school project. He didn't mean to snoop, honestly. Marinette had gone down to get them snacks and Plagg knocked over some papers on her desk. He tried to quickly pick them up before Marinette got back and couldn't help but notice they were hand written letters. From his father.

He knew it was an invasion of privacy, but he was too curious. Why would his father write Marinette? If it was about something fashion related he would have just had Nathalie email her. He read over the letters quickly and suddenly became sick. These were obviously love letters. Confused Adrien put the letters back and sat on Marinette's bed.

There had to be an explanation for this, right? He just needed to call his father and hear the perfectly reasonable explanation for sending his underage classmate love letters. He dialed his dad's number eagerly, wanting to hurry up and know the reason behind letters so that all would be right in the world again. Adrien's eyes got huge when he realized he heard father's ringtone. Coming from inside of Marinette's closet.
