I've only been to the movies once and that was two years ago and I don't remember. I'm also not good with movies and I'm sorry to skip that part, but I will see what I could do about it.
Chapter 7
Soon they got to the movies and Adrien bought the tickets for a comedy/romance movie which was to start at eight, so they decided to walk around a little as it was only quarter past seven.
"Do you want to go across the arcade, I hear that they have Ultimate Mecha Strike III," Adrien asked.
"Seriously? Okay!" she said excitedly and took his hand. They ran across the clear street to the arcade and went inside which contained not much people. Further the back was their favorite game. Marinette offered to purchase six tokens, but Adrien declined.
"I should by them, I'm the gentleman here," he said.
"You don't necessarily have to, it's okay if I pay for them; after all, you paid for the tickets. Who told you that the 'gentleman' should pay anyway?" she asked.
"Um, no one! Go ahead and pay," he said. Marinette happily went over to the counter, leaving Adrien by himself. He looked around and sighed when he saw a young boy, about five years of age playing with his parents. Although they were losing, they were still having fun and enjoying themselves. Marinette came running back with the tokens and pushed one into the slot.
"Choose your player Adrien," she said. He chose the black, and she chose the red one. At first Marinette let Adrien win, and he did the same for her just to warm up, and afterwards came the real deal.
"I'm going to beat you this time Marinette!" he said, putting much effort into the game.
"Think again Adrien, I'll beat you so bad you'll rethink even playing with me!" (does that make sense?!) she said effortlessly.
"I don't think so, because I have this," he opened his hand, revealing the charm bracelet Marinette gave him the first time he played the game with her in her bedroom.
"You still have it?" she asked.
"Of course, I've held on to it since the day you gave it to me," he said with a smile.
"Really? That's so sweet!" she exclaimed, then realized that he took advantage of the pause and won. "Adrien Agreste, that was so cruel of you!"
"Oh no, look at the time!" he exclaimed after looking up at the wall clock. Two more minutes until eight! They ran across to the theater and got in just as people were being allowed in. After they chose a seat in the middle, Adrien went out to purchase a bucket of popcorn. As soon as he left, she pulled out her phone.
Me: Hey Alya.
BFF: OMG! How is it?
Me: Amazing, we've been to the arcade, and now we're going to look at a movie, he went to get us some popcorn.
BFF: Cool, keep it up girl!
Me: Oh, I got to go he's coming back.
BFF: Okay, keep it chill!
"I forgot to ask you what kind of popcorn you wanted, so I took the buttered one," he said and sat down.
"It's okay, I love buttered popcorn!" Marinette said.
(Hour and a half later)
The couple left and they were picked up to head to the restaurant.
"Wasn't that fun?" Adrien asked.
"Fun is an understatement, that movie was awesome!" Marinette said and put her hands together. Adrien took one and looked at it for a while.
"You have very small hands," he said randomly. She laughed and took his.
"Yours are huge compared to mine," Marinette said.
"Hey, they're not that big. Looks like we're here," Adrien said.
They got out of the car, and headed across to the restaurant which was near closing time. Marinette chose a seat near the wall then went to order their simple dinner. Since there were very few people there, one of the staff members bought the dinner over to them. She was young, about seventeen years old and seemed to be perfectly happy with her job.
"Hi, my name is Kristen and I've come to give you your dinner, please enjoy," she said with a bright smile.
"Thank you so much," Marinette said.
"Are you two dating? You're a really cute couple," she said and the blushed like a pair of ripe tomatoes.
"Seriously?" Adrien asked.
"Like seriously. Anyways, I'll leave you two alone now, enjoy your night," Kristen said and left with a smile and small wave. They nodded, and stared at one another awkwardly.
Marinette made the first move by picking up a fry, and Adrien looked at her strangely.
"Why aren't you using a fork?" he asked.
"Um, because I don't have to; it really doesn't matter. Wait, you've never had this before?" Marinette asked and looked shocked.
"No, not at all. My father thinks it's junk food and wants me to keep in good shape for my; I mean HIS photo-shoots," he said.
"Wow. You need some freedom, you're a growing boy," Marinette said.
"Enough about that now, how does it taste?" he asked.
"Like a potato. Just kidding, it tastes awesome, and you could dip in ketchup if you want," she said. He picked one up, looked at it and then bit half of it.
(Okay, I've just realized that I've never had a burger before, so I'll have to leave that part out. Sorry. )
"It's great!" he said excitedly and used his fork to pick up more. Marinette laughed at him. "This'll be my first and last time having this, so I think I'll have a couple more."
"I've just witnessed Adrien's first time eating fries! I'm amazing…" she thought with a dreamy sigh. Adrien looked at her expression with a smile.
"You look beautiful tonight," he wanted to say, but instead grabbed her hand, ran out of the restaurant, and into the car. He then leaned forward to the driver and whispered something in his ear. From the windows of where they once were, Kristen and her manager looked at the young couple.
"She's in for the best night of her life, I can see it. I may be no expert, but those two are made for one another," she said and her manager nodded.
"Adrien, what was that all about?!" Marinette asked and he looked at her with his eyes dancing in excitement.
"You'll see Princess, don't worry," he said and put his arm around her shoulder.
"Hey, you call me Princess, what can I call you; well other than Kitty of course," she asked.
"Think about it, I'm sure something would come up eventually." He tugged her arm and pointed outside to the Eiffel Tower.
"Come on!" he said with a smile and led her out of the car. They went up via elevator to the top, and looked down at all of the bright lights, buildings and vehicles.
"Woah," Marinette said. She pulled out her sketchbook and began to do a quick sketch of the view. Adrien looked at her hands moving swiftly across the paper, and at the different lines for all of the buildings and roads.
"I didn't know that you could draw so well," he said.
"Actually, I've never drawn anything else except for my designs; this is my first time doing something else," she said softly without taking her eyes off the paper. After a minute or two she looked up at the half moon and stars, and sprinkled them across her drawing. She tore the page out and gave it to him.
"But why are you giving this to me?" he asked.
"I just want you to stick it in your room so that we could remember this night; our first date," she said. The last three words of her sentence, Adrien took her pencil and wrote them at the bottom of the page, and added their initials next to it, then put it carefully into his pocket. Marinette smiled.
She took his hand and pointed up.
"Do you ever look at the stars and try to count them?" she asked.
"No, I'd rather look at the stars in your eyes," he said with a sly smile. Marinette dropped his hand with a sudden blush she felt coming on.
"Don't do me that, it feels strange," she said, but he took her both hands into his.
"I don't care, or else you'll be feeling strange all the time," he said with a wink.
"I'm going to die tonight," she thought while looking into his neon green eyes.
"Best night ever," Adrien thought while looking into her heavenly blue ones.
"We've done so many things tonight," Marinette said.
"We've also had some firsts together; the arcade, my having tasted fries for the first time, your first drawing that's not a design. It's amazing," he said. Marinette smiled and yawned.
"Yeah," she said. Adrien looked at her and saw that she was actually exhausted and falling asleep on herself.
"Okay, it's time to go Princess," he said and lifted her gently off the ground.
"No, it's okay, I'm not tired at all," she said with a smile.
"Nope, sorry," he said and rode the elevator down. He gently put her down in the car, and sat next to her. She yawned again, and rested her head on his shoulder.
"Thank you for this wonderful night Adrien, I really appreciate it," she said and looked up at him.
"It was my pleasure," he said as her eyes closed.
"I love you Adrien."
"I love you too Marinette."
Good night/ Morning fans out there, thank you for supporting me. Also, if you have any ideas you might want in the story, just put them in the reviews, I would choose the best one and use that for Chapter 8, and I will mention you and give you thanks at the beginning of the chapter. I'm also thinking, just in case I use this idea (most likely) along with your idea, put a character name for yourself, I might want to add that in as well, as well as the character personality; so be creative! (I love to thank people). Thank you again, and good morning/evening!
