Chapter 10: Adrien Agreste
The first thing Marinette noticed when she woke up was that Plagg was gone and Tikki was sleeping on the bed next to her. As a baby deer.
Marinette blinked at the baby deer, slowly recalling the events of last night, before smiling and storking the animal. »Good morning, bambi.« She cooed as the small animal slowly opened it's eyes and looked up at her.
Tikki smiled when she saw her in the morning, wondering why the nickname, before realizing that she was a baby deer. She smiled sheepishly, turning back into a cat. »Good morning, sorry, I hadn't realized I'd turned.«
Marinette smiled at the now cat and got out of bed. »Don't worry about it. When did Plagg leave?« She asked as she wondered into the bathroom.
Tikki followed her and sat down at the doorway. »He left early in the morning to get Adrien.«
Marinette nodded, already brushing her hair. »Is he coming over today?«
Tikki tilted her head. »Probably, why?«
Marinette was nervous. »What am I supposed to say Tikki?« The cat shook her head and jumped onto a table. »Nothing. You don't have to say anything Marinette. Nothing's changed. He's no different. The only thing that has changed was his name.«
Marinette took a deep breath, before hugging Tikki. »Thanks for being here for me.« The cat closed it's eyes and purred. »Always.«
Adrien was anxious as he walked towards Marinette's hotel. She knew that by now she would've searched his name and realized who he was.
Plagg ran in front of him, walking backwards so that they could see each other. »You shouldn't be so nervous. This won't change anything, you two were meant to be together.«
Adrien smiled at Plagg's supportive words. »Yeah, I know. Thanks Plagg.« The dog smiled and turned around, running in front of Adrien and slowly changing shape. Before Adrien realized what Plagg was there was a black greyhound standing in front of him. »C'mon!« Plagg called as he started running at full speed towards the hotel. Adrien laughed as he ran after him.
Marinette quickly walked to the bed with Tikki in her arms, setting the cat down and walking over to her dresser. Just as she picked up her hair brush and started to ready her hair into a pigtail, her mom poked her head into the girl's room. »Me and your dad are going out for the day. We'll be back for lunch.« Marinette nodded. »Okay, have fun. If I'm not here I'll probably be at the beach.« Her mother nodded with a bright smile, before ducking out of the room and closing the door behind her.
»Maaa-rii!« She heard a sing song voice call through her window and Marinette put the brush down down, rushing to the balcony, a huge grin across her face. When she looked at the street below her she saw Adrien leaning against the wall, a black greyhound sitting next to him and a sly grin on his face. A smirk stretched across her face as she leaned against the railing. »Well, well, well.« She said in a flirtatious manner. »What've we got here?«
Adrien back at her and she noticed he wasn't wearing any contacts today, his green eyes shinning as they watched her, locking gazes. »I could say the same, coccinelle.« He said as a geniuine smile stretched across her lips. »You know we really don't need to talk like this.« She said, her eyes flicking away from his and back again. He pushed away from the wall still looking at her. »Oh?« She nodded quickly. »My parents left for the morning and guess what? You can use the front door to enter!« She teased and he grinned up at her. »Well then, I hope you open the door. I'll se you soon, princess.« She giggled as he winked, before turning around and walking towards the front of the hotel. She rolled her as she walked inside.
He beat her to the door and she quickly opened it as the bell rang. He smiled and looked down at her. »Well, hello there.« She blushed as he leaned down and brushed his nose against her own. »I missed you.« He whispered and a shiver ran down her spine, her heart aching as he pulled away. He grinned in succes as he watched her blush and stutter. »W-we should proposably, uh, no...I mean probablly go in-inside.« He chuckled as he stepped past her into the apartment.
Marinette quickly closed the door and leant against it as she tried to rearange her thought by closing her eyes. She opened them as she felt him watching her and her eyes locked with his burning gaze. Her breath hitching as he moved closer, his left hand slipping around her waist as the other cupped her cheek. Her blue eyes stared at him wordleslly as he pulled her closer to him. »Now I know we need to talk and stuff...« He murmured. »...But can I kiss you?« Her breath caught again and she gave a small nod as their eyes closed and he leant in, closing the gap between them. His lips enveloped hers and soon they were in a heated kissing battle. Marinette gasped again as he bit her lower lip and he reattached his lips to hers.
They pulled away after a few minutes, both gasping for air as Adrien rested his forehead against Marinette's. Both opening their eyes as Adrien lifted his left hand and ran it through Marinette's loose hair. »You left your hair down.« He murmured. »I didn't have time to do it before a certain kitty interupted me.« He chuckled and leant in for another kiss, this time less demanding and softer.
When they pulled apart Adrien smiled, his hand slipping from her hair and down to her hand, taking ahold of it as he led her to the couch. Marinette quickly recovered her wits and smiled slyly. »So...Adrien Agreste, huh?« Adrien groaned. »Yes that's my name and my father is the famous fashion designer. But I told you because I trust that it wouldn't change anything.« Marinette smiled more softly, taking his hand as they locked eyes. »It doesn't change anything. Really.« Adrien smiled the brightest smile she'd ever seen, before taking her hand more strongly into hers. Before she could register what was happening he pulled her on top of him as he crashed onto his back on the couch. They laughed together as she laid on top of him and his arms laced around her waist pulling her closer as their foreheads touched. The second their laughter died down his green eyes locked her blue bell ones and he lifted his hands from her waist, cupping her cheeks as their eyes slowly fluttered closed and their lips locked. He kissed her softly at first, but the heat was building up and soon her fingers were buried in his hair and his hands had found her waist again, pulling her closer. She gasped for air and he took the chance to deepen the kiss. His tounge slipping inside her mouth, suprising her. Soon she kissed back, their tounges in a heated dance.
Marinette pulled away after ten minutes and smiled dazedly down at him as he watched with clouded green eyes, running his hands through her hair as she played with a lock of his hair.
»Finally! They made out.«
Marinette and Adrien startled out of their trance as they jumped apart. Both their gazes locking on the animals curiously watching them from the floor. Adrien groaned. »God Plagg! Bad time much?«
Marinette giggled, standing up and picking up Tikki. The cat yelped and looked at her startled. »Marinette what are you doing?« Marinette giggled again and adjusted her grip on Tikki. »Punishing you for not stopping Plagg.« Was all she said before spinning around as she danced with the cat. »Marinette!« Yelped the cat. »You know I hate dancing!« Marinette laughed as she picked up her phone, never breaking her pace and quickly put on some music. Adrien watched her as she never broke pace, setting down her phone and spinning around to the song 'I really like you'. He laughed as she spun the cat around by her front legs and giggled. When the song was over she set Tikki down and the cat quickly turned into a greyhound, spedding off and snuggling next to Plagg. »Protect me.« She whispered and he placed himself in front of her, pressing his nose against hers in an eskimo kiss as she relaxed.
Marinette giggled again as the same song started playing again. She looked over to Adrien, who'd been watching the whole spectacle and sniggered as her eyes landed on him. She quickly walked over, pulling him onto his feet and leaning up to whiper in his ear. »Dance with me.« He grinned taking her hand and spinning her around and back into him. He leaned down and she gasped as she felt his breath on her neck. »Of course, my lady.« And soon they were dancing to every song that came up.
Marinette'd never felt this way when she'd danced with anyone. They were moving, making everything up as they went and somehow they never stumbled. She'd known before that they danced well together that they had something special, but now she knew that they didin't dance well together. They had sinch and she knew that being able to dance like this was special. There were almost none dancers out there that had this kind of sinch, and in improv!
That was the second she remembered. »Tomorrow is the dance festival!«
