I do not, and never will own Miraculous Ladybug

Thank you all for your prompts. This one is mildly based off one of the prompts that I received. I would love even more prompts. And I really love hearing from you all. - Alice O'flynn

Marinette always cursed her clumsiness. Or, at least, usually. But that day was a rare exception, although it didn't start that way. It started out as a very bad day for Marinette. It started out with her waking up late, only ten minutes before school. She barely was able to get dressed, and brush her hair, before she had to leave. Which meant her hair was left down. She was wearing a different outfit as well. Since her regular pink jeans, gray jacket, and white shirt were dirty. She instead threw on a simple black dress. She stumbled into class only a few minutes before it started, tripping, and falling on her face. Marinette's face was bright red, and she made no move to get up. She was too embarrassed. She could hear Chloe's cackling laugh coming from in front of her.

"Good Job, Mari-trash!" Chloe cackled, sounding very close to Marinette. "Why don't you learn how to walk sometime!"

"Stop it Chloe!" Adrien said, walking up to Chloe.

"You're going to defend her?! Don't you know that she's not worth your time."

"I said stop it, Chloe!" Adrien said, holding his hand out to Marinette. "Do you need a hand up?"

Marinette looked up at Adrien, and nodded. Taking his hand, and getting up. Her face was bright red, and she was looking down at the ground. She was her shy self again, upset that she made a fool of herself in front of Adrien. She didn't notice the concerned look on his face. Or the fact that he glared at Chloe, before guiding Marinette towards her seat. He was even more concerned for her when he noticed a little red trickling from her nose.

"Marinette, are you alright? Your nose is bleeding," Adrien said, moving Marinette so that she was facing him. She still was looking at the ground.

"Yeah….. I'm alright….." Marinette said, moving her hand up to wipe the blood from her nose.

"Why aren't you looking at me?" Adrien asked, using his index finger to tilt Marinette's chin up, until she was looking into his eyes.

"I just embarrassed myself in front of everyone." Marinette said, wiping even more blood from her nose.

"No, you didn't. Everyone trips. It's nothing new." Adrien said, placing his free hand on Marinette's shoulder. "You probably should see the nurse for that nose bleed."

"It's alright, it's not that bad…."

"You won't be able to get out of it. Here, come with me. I'll take you there" Adrien said, staring to lead Marinette out of the classroom. When they were out of the classroom, Adrien stopped, noticing that Marinette's head was down again.

"Why are you so embarrassed about tripping?" Adrien asked, tipping Marinette's head back up.

"I made a fool of myself in front of you….. You probably have finally realized how useless I am…" Marinette said, counting the day the worst day of her life.

"No," Adrien said, upset at how she was talking about herself. "You're not useless."

"You probably don't even want to be my friend anymore." Marinette lemented, not even hearing Adrien.

"I'll prove that's not the case." Adrien said, staring into Marinette's eyes. Marinette froze.

"H-H-How will you do that?" Marinette was back to stuttering around him. But He didn't notice. He leaned in close to Marinette, placing a quick kiss on her lip. Pulling back to see a dazed look in her eyes that made him smile.

"I hope that proves that I really do care for you," Marinette nodded at Adrien. "Now, let's get you to the nurse's office"
