Chapter 10: Believe in kisses
When Marinette woke up she was tired. She'd barely gotten any sleep last night, she'd been thinking about explenations for Alya. She groaned as she realized that she will probably be drowned in Alya's questions. A second later a grin of happines spread across her face, she was dating Adrien! She got out of bed and started packing her bag.
»Tikki!« She called when she was done. Tikki flew to the girl sleepily. »Yeah?« She smiled at the kwami. »Time to go to school.« In a second it seemed that the she was awake. »You're telling everyone that you're dating Adrien today!« She happily exclaimed. Marinette laughed. »That's right!« She hugged Tikki. »I'm so nervous!« Tikki shook her head. »Don't be! You'll have Adrien with you.« Marinette giggled. »That's true...«
She walked to school, for once on time, but she was giddy and nervous. When she started going up the school steps and she wasn't paying attention, she tripped. Just as she extended her hands, droping her bag and bracing herself for the fall, two hands wrapped around her waist and caught her, pulling her up. »Woah. Calm down.«
She looked up and found his green eyes.
»I missed you.« He whispers, pulling her closer to him and kissing her on the cheek.
She giggled. »I saw you last night.«
He chuckled. »That's way too long ago.«
Just as he was about to kiss her on the lips, the first bell rang, signaling that class will be starting soon. He pulled away from her and picked up her bag, handing it to her. Then he took her hand in his own and looked at her, smiling »Ready?«
Her eyes widened and she looked towards their school, biting her bottom lip. »As I'll ever be.«
He kissed her again lightly on the cheek, then he started walking up the steps, pulling her along and winking. »C'mon, Princess. Time for class.«
She giggled and they walked towards class, side by side. Hand in hand.
When they entered the classroom they saw Alya and Nino laugghing at something on Alya's phone. When they looked up to greet them. »Hi you- What the? Why are you holding hands!?« Was the first thing Alya said and Nino just openly gaped.
Marinette blushed. »Uh, I...We're kinda, um. You see-«
When she was trying to stammer a response Adrien tugged on her hand and pulled it to his lips, pressing a light kiss on the back of her hand. »I'll take care of this, Princess.« He murmured.
By now the whole class was staring at them because of Alya's exclamation.
He smiled at her. »We're dating.«
Marinette gulped as Alya and Nino's mouths hung open, their eyes flicking between the two. »This has to be a prank.« Said Alya. »Yeah, you've gotta be pulling our noses.« Nino agreed.
Marinette was instantly mad. »Why you tw-«
But Adrien cut her off again. »Don't worry, Princess. We'll just make them believe.« He smirked at them.
Suddenly he pulled on Marinette's hand and twirled her so she was facing them. Before she could vocallize her suprise, he leaned down and his lips enveloped hers. He melted her and she kissed him back. She would never get used to this. Everyone in the classroom gaped and their was an unaudible snicker, from the kwamis hiding in their bags.
Just as everyone was gaping at the kissing couple, Chloe came flying into the room. »Adri...kins?« She stopped dead and looked at the sight before her, anger boiled. »Why!?« She screeched.
He finally pulled away, leaving a very flustered Marinette standing next to him, he turned to Nino and Alya, who were once again, looking from him to her. He looked over at Chloe. »What's wrong, Chloe?«
The spoiled girl seemed to have been rendered speechless by rage. »Why-you were! Ugh. What is going on!?« She fumed and Marinette hid behind Adrien. He looked at the her and gave her a reasuring smile. He took her hand again and pulled her to his side, his hand slipping around her waist as Chloe gaped at his actions. »Nothing's going on Chloe, I don't know what you're talking about.« He shrugged. Chloe gripped his arm, the one that wasn't around Marinette. »Why the hell is your hand around that piece of trash?!« Adrien shook her off and pushed her away. »Don't talk like that about my girlfriend Chloe. And this is normal couple behavior as far as I'm concerened.« He kissed Marinette on top of her hair to prove his point. Chloe screeched again in frustration and turned to Marinette. »You'll never be able to keep him. He's mine! You'll see.« She pointed at her. Whe n she was done she ran out of the classroom, Sabrina following her. Marinette looked at Adrien with terrified eyes. »I'm scared.« He kissed her on top of her head again. »Don't be. I'll always protect you.«
Adrien finally turned towards their gaping friends. He smirked at their expresions. »Still don't believe us?«
They quickly shook their heads and just as Alya was about to say something Madame bustier walked into the classroom and asked everyone to take their seats. They sat down and Marinette braced herself.
Alya stared at her and after a few seconds Marinette looked back. »What the hell, Marinette? You're going to explain and now!« She whisper threathened.
Marinette shook her head. »Not now Alya! Class is starting.«
She turned to the blackboard and felt Alya glare at her, before turning towards the teacher.
