Prompt: One day, Adrien just suddenly realizes how adorably cute Marinette is and cannot stop thinking about her.

Adrien focused on his pencil hitting the side of his text book repeatedly. It was the only thing keeping him from falling asleep at the moment. He glanced at the clock hanging on the wall, for what felt like the five-millionth time that morning, and groaned.
'Still five minutes to gooooo. UGH this lesson is so BORING,' he grumbled in his head as he looked back to his pencil. Adrien couldn't wait for lunch. Him and his three best friends were heading over to Marinette's parent's bakery for lunch, and he couldn't wait to eat some of their delicious, delectable croissants. He was also very eager to spend some time with his friends. He always had so much going on in his life and never really got time to just relax and have some fun.
Riiiiiiiiiinnggg
Adrien pounced out of his seat just as the school bell rang, and sped off to go toss his books into his locker. After that, he ran to the front of the school and waited patiently for his friends. A couple minutes later, he saw three familiar figures heading towards him. The blonde model beamed with delight.
"Hey guys!" He waved excitedly as they approached. "Shut up dude! Alya's telling a funny story!" Nino laughed along with the girls. Adrien nodded and listened in as Alya began talking again.
"So then my sister tried to copy me by jumping on the smaller stone beside me, but she slipped and fell into the lake instead! It was hilarious!"
Adrien watched all three of his friends burst into laughter and smiled at their happiness.
And that's when hit hit him.
As his eyes fell on his blue-haired friend, he froze at the sight before him. Her face was lit up with joy like a Christmas tree and her beautiful blue-bell eyes seemed to shimmer in the light. Her cheeks were slightly stained pink and that smile was absolutely adorable. And OH MY GOODNESS, the way her nose scrunched up as her beautiful, angelic giggles escaped past those perfect, plump lips! Her stunning cuteness made Adrien's heart race 10 times faster. His emerald orbs were glued on her as all these feeling came flooding in, and all these thoughts were popping into his head.
Adrien's P.O.V.
Why am I feeling this way? Has Mari always been this cute? Why didn't I notice before? Ohmygosh shes so adorable when she's laughing! Her eyes are so blue and sparkly! And her voice! Wow it just sounds so magical and delicate. She looks as pretty as a princess! Could she even be as pretty as my lady? NO! N-never! No one is as pretty as L-Ladybug…..
Marinette stopped laughing and just stared at me. She seemed confused…oh my she's even adorable when she's confused!
That was when I noticed that Nino and Alya were also staring at me with puzzled expressions.
Craaaaappp they're all staring…..
"W-what? Is there s-something on my face?" I stuttered out nervously.
"No…..but you were just standing there, completely silent while staring weirdly at Marinette," Nino said. Alya was giving me a look. I don't know what it meant but it made my palms start to sweat.
"Yeeeaaahhh why exactly were you staring at Mari, Adrien?" Alya smirked at me. "You think she's cute or something?"
I felt my face heat up immediately. That's exactly what I was thinking. That's exactly why I was staring at her.
"A-Alya!" The bluenette swatted her friend's shoulder. It was so cute. She was trying to act all tough but her face was red too. Awww she's embarrassed! Wait...I'm embarrassed…..I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON ANYMORE.
Now everyone was staring at me again. I could feel the obvious blush once again and didn't know what to say. OH MY GOD THIS IS EMBARRASSING.
"Uh," I sweat dropped, "SHOULDN'T WE BE HEADING TO THE BAKERY NOW?"
My hands immediately clapped over my mouth. I didn't mean to shout at them. Their staring was just making me uncomfortable a-and I didn't know what to say. I PANICKED OKAY!
I saw Alya slowly nod and heard Nino mumble a small, "I guess." Then I dashed away and headed towards Mari's Parents bakery.
Marinette's P.O.V.
Ugh why did Alya have to say that? Of course Adrien doesn't think I'm cute! That was so embarrassing! But then…...why was he blushing? He was probably just surprised or something. Now he's runoff in the direction of the bakery…...without denying that he thinks I'm cute! Okay, okay, calm down Mari. Don't get your hopes up. Adrien is probably just really excited to eat some pastries.
"Come on guys…..we should probably go after him," I heard my best friend, Alya, say. "Yeah I'm starving!" Nino agreed. I nodded and we all started walking in the direction Adrien had gone.
..
Third person P.O.V.
Adrien burst through the bakery doors and collapsed on the floor. "I'm soooooo hungry," he mumbled as his eyelids fell shut. Sabine and Tom rushed to his side and frantically asked what was wrong.
"Sooo tired…..need…..delicious….pastries…"
Tom chuckled while his wife rushed to the kitchen for food. "Where are Marinette, Alya and Nino?" She called from the other room.
"Probably on their way," The blonde model shrugged as he sat up. He picked himself up off the floor and followed Tom into the kitchen. He was handed a large plate full of assorted treats and goodies from Sabine. She gave him a warm smile before rushing off to take some cupcakes out of the oven.
Just then, the door opened and the three others strolled in. "Maman! Papa! We're here!" Adrien froze when he heard that voice. It still sounded different. It was like he just never really payed attention to how Marinette's voice sounded before, and now he is just realized it now.
'She sounds beautiful…...amazing…..extraordinary….' he smiled to himself as he went to greet them. "H-hey guys! I have the food," Adrien displayed the plate for them to see.
"Cool dude. Let's sit down."
"Yeah, I'm sooooo hungry."
Marinette giggled and followed her friends to the nearest table. Adrien was watching her the whole time. 'Omg that was so cute,' he secretly fangirled.
Alya and Nino sat on one side of the table, so Mari and Adrien sat on the other.
Marinette's P.O.V.
OhmygoshOhmygoshOhmygoshOhmygosh I'm sitting next to Adrien! Okay Mari, you can do this. Just stay cool. Stay calm…..Ohmygosh I'm next to Adrien!
I looked up to see Alya smirking at me from across the table…..oh no! I'm probably blushing! This is sooooo embarrassingggggg. I looked to my right and see Adrien looking away while trying to hide his face. OMG HE'S BLUSHING TOO! NINO IS GIVING HIM A LOOK TOO! WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?
Adrien's P.O.V.
How DARE Nino sit next to Alya and make me sit next to Mari! I mean, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that…. Marinette is great….and nice and sweet and cute and funny and adorable and….uuggghhh what am I gonna do?
I look over and see her staring at her lap while fiddling with her fingers. I watch her glance to the side and then look up at Alya. Oh my...her face is bright red…i-it's so c-cute. Ugghhh I think I'm blushing.
Oh no what if she sees? I casually, and awkwardly, turn to stare at the wall while kinda trying to hide my face with my hand. Man, this is really embarrassing.
"Well we should probably eat this food and get back to school," I heard Nino say, breaking the uncomfortable silence, much to my relief. I hear Alya hum in agreement so I turn to face them and try my hardest to not think about the petite girl beside me.
..
I didn't have any of my friends in my next class after lunch, so I was kind of lonely. At least no one was bothering me while I was thinking about Mari- UH I MEAN DOING THIS WORK. Yeah. I'm totally focusing on my work and not thinking about anyone.
No. I give up. I just can't seem to stop thinking about Marinette. Why did I never notice her incredible adorableness earlier? It was just that moment when she was laughing and her face was so lit up and happy and ohmygoodness it was amazing.
As my eyes casually scanned the room, I noticed this girl in my class. I think her name is Francine or something. She's wearing a big, baggy, black hoodie with violet leggings and knee-high black boots. My mind immediately imagines that outfit on Mari and I can feel all the heat rising to my face. I must be blushing...madly. My princess would look soooo cute and comfy and cuddly! SOOOO CUTE!
I'm snapped out of my thoughts when I hear a loud tapping noise against the table in front of me. The scary, giant teacher is towering over me with a stern look on his face. Uh oh.
"Adrien…..Are you finished your work?" He asks is a deep, thundering voice. "N-no sir!" I squeak in fear. His icy cold glare was making me very nervous. The teacher didn't respond; just gave me a look that said 'you better finish that work or I will call your father and get you kicked out of this school so that you will never get to see your friends and will always be stuck at home.'
I shuddered at the thought of being homeschooled again and decided to finish as much work as I could before class ended.
..
Once I got home, I had a photoshoot to attend…..yippee….
During the ride there, I just couldn't stop thinking of Marinette. Her voice, her smile, her hair, her eyes, her happiness, her clumsiness, her bravery, her everything…...just so purrfect! I couldn't stop imagining how cute she would look in all these different outfits. My dad had just finished designing a beautiful ball gown the other day and imagining it on Mari was just so...so...so enchanting. She would look as beautiful as a princess, no, as beautiful as a queen!
Once we arrived at the photo shoot, I was rushed into a dressing room filled with outfits I would be modeling today. I quickly got changed and layed my regular outfit on the couch. I took a long look at it before leaving to get my makeup done. As I walked over to find the makeup artists, I thought about my usual clothes and my mind automatically pictured them on Marinette.
As soon as I saw that image in my mind, I nearly choked on my own saliva and lost my balance, almost falling to the ground. I felt my face heat up immediately and knew it probably resembles Ladybug's suit at this point.
MARINETTE IN MY CLOTHES WOULD BE THE CUTEST THING EVERRR. My shirt would be so long on her because she's so short and it wouldn't fit and and and and

I think I almost fainted. There were a few people around me, helping me up and giving me water. They were repeatedly asking if I was okay and wanted to know what had happened, but I just couldn't think straight.
After I was lead to the makeup station and they people were getting me ready for the camera, my mind started to wander again. I continued to imagine my princess in my clothes, my pajamas, my father's designs…...but then…..I imagined something so cute, so adorable, so incredible, I was told to go lay down for a bit. I IMAGINED MARINETTE WEARING MY CHAT NOIR SUIT.
MARI WEARING CAT EARS IS LIFE. I CAN'T HANDLE IT. I NEED TO SEE IT IN REAL LIFE. I WANT A CHAT-MARI. CHAT-MARI IS MY EVERYTHING.
Omg and then little Chat-Mari could help save the day with me and Ladybug! Wait….MARINETTE WEARING LADYBUG'S SUIT WOULD BE SO CU-
I froze. My brain frozen. My mind stopped. Everything just…..stopped.
Marinette in Ladybug's suit…..she would look EXACTLY like Ladybug! The same blue bell eyes, the same deep blue hair, even the same twintails! The same height, the same voice, the same cute little focused face, and the same angelic little giggle!
But if Marinette was this similar to Ladybug…..could it be?
Then Adrien fainted. Just passed out. Just like that.
Hihi! Hope you guys enjoyed that one-shot! Please review so I feel motivated to write more often! XD
