Sorry for waiting almost a year for this.

Chapter 8

Marinette's POV

We both continued wandering the beach. Finally we sat and watched as the sun set slowly. I started thinking about how though we met 7 years ago I haven't seen him in three. I realized that I really need to know this young adult Adrien before I can move on with this marriage. I decided it time to go back and play some silly getting to know people games.

Adrien and I walk down the beach back to our camp with our fingers intertwined. As we walk I think about what I am going to say. It is kinda embarassing asking my husband to play a game 12 year olds play.

"Adrien…" I stop and hesitantly looking down at my feet

"Yes my lady" He looks at me

"Um uh, this may um sound stupid-"

"-I'm pretty sure you can't say anything stupid" He interrupts me, he turns my chin to look at him and winks

"Anyway as I was saying," I roll my eyes and pull away my hand with a newfound confidence "Let's play two truths and a lie… it's the best way to find new information about a person" I stood up straight and looked him in the eye

"Sure whatever makes you happy buginette" He kisses my hand and grabs it once again.

We began to make our way down the coast again. Our finger intertwine once more and I feel happy. The sand was golden and glimmered with the help of the setting sun. I can hear the waves crash against the shore. The smelt salty and I low key kinda loved it. I stop Adrien for a second.

"We need to take pictures for my public instagram and snapchat" I turn to him.

"Sure I should do that too, this week has been too crazy to actually update" He agrees, he runs a hand through his hair I think he's nervous.

Adrien's POV

Marinette asks if we can take photos, and I turn to her, I look down and her and notice how the sunset makes her black hair look blue. Her eye glow and when I answer her I run my hand through my hair. I'm so nervous around her at this moment. She looks like a goddess and I'm me. Yes I'm a prince but I don't deserve someone so brave and determined.

"Adrien! Helloooooo" she frowns and waves her hand in front of my face

"Yeah?!" I exclaim

"I lost you for a moment" she shakes her head and takes her phone out

"Oh yeah the pictures!" I grab my phone then turn to her "Lets get one of the ocean then one of the two of us, then a snap of a funny filter"

"Yeah that sound good" she replied

So we take a picture of the sunset and ocean. Then one of the two of us in front of the ocean, we place our phones on a rock, last for snap we take one pic with the heart ccrown and another with the filter that swirls our face. We posted the first two on insta. I commented mine "honeymoon with my princess, what's prettier the view or the two of us ?￢ﾀﾝ

I put away my phone and grab her hand. I start running towards the camp. She gets pulled along with me, jogging behind.

"Let's go slowpoke I don't want to break your arm" I laugh

"Oh yeah I think you have to keep up with me!" she giggled and began sprinting with my hand still hers.

I get dragged along and we laugh the whole way there, when we finally reach our bedroom tent we fall onto it crying from laughter.

"That … was so ... fun" she says in between breaths

"I know I rarely get to do this" I grin and touch her shoulder

I always used to do that, touch her shoulder, when we were teenagers. That was when I developed a crush on her. She had a fire and joy that was contagious. I wish I had told her then, maybe we wouldn't have been forced into the position we are today. I look at her, her cheeks are still red from the laughter and running and her eyes are sparkling. I lean down and I…

Marinette's POV

We finally made it to our tent after running and laughing. I realize how much this has been. I haven't felt this way since the last time I saw him. I had such a huge crush on him then. He was so charismatic sometimes, other times he was kind and happy. It was so cute and when he smile you just could help to do so as well. I look up at him and blush. He is staring right me and he starts to lean down and I lean up…

Our lips touch and I was like magic. This kiss was real not like the one at the wedding. It was real and filled with love. I started to melt into his lips. I grab his neck and he grabs my waist. We tighten around each other. Then I let go.

I took a few breaths and I turned to him. I wonder if it was to early to say this but I feel it in my heart.

"Adrien I uh, you know, I uh" I start moving my hands around pushing them foward trying to get it out, "I love you Adrien Agreste" I finally proclaim

He stares at me, he furrows his eyebrows, then widens his eyes. My heart feels like it will pump out of my chest. He is completey stilent. I start to panic, I look around then get up, maybe he really doesn't love me back.

Maybe he thinks it is too soon. Maybe he really just did this because he had to and nothing else. Maybe he only sees my as Marinette the clutzy 14 now 20 year old. My eyes start to well up with tears as I begin to walk away. I feel a hand on my wrist.

I turn around and see Adrien looking up at me. He sits on the bed still holding my wrist.

"Marinette wait, I'm sorry I didn't say this sooner," he starts rubbing the back of his neck "I love you too"

By then tears already fall down my cheeks, they were streams falling down fast. Adrien gets up and pulls me into his chest. He turns my head up to him and wipes away my tears. He kisses he top of my head.

We stay like that for a while. I am then brought back to reality. I remember the reason we came back here. We were going to play two truths and a lie. I get out of his hold.

"Time to play the game kitty cat."
