FaceTime: Marinette needs helps with physics ASAP.
"Alya I need help." Marinette sentenced to the phone as she faced timed her bff. The scenery where Marinette worked was catastrophic. All the notebooks scattered around, pencils, highlighters and rulers everywhere. She was in major crisis because she had certain exam in a week and she understood none of it.
"You know who is very good at physics?" Alya asked suggestively. Marinette rolled her eyes. No way in hell would she concentrate if Adrien taught her physics face to face.
"Yes Alya, but I can't ask Adrien for help. I would be too nervous around him."
"You don't have to meet him, you know?" Alya suggested with a cheeky grin "You can face-time him, like you are doing right now with me."
"You think I will be able to understand physics if he teaches me through the phone? You know I got an insect's brain when it comes to physics."
"Adrien is the best physics teacher I know girl. He has explained Nino a million times before, who explained it to me. How do you think I explained physics to you before? You give me way too much credit." Marinette laughed a little, yeah, it was a bit suspicious but how on earth would she know?
"Okay, okay, wait that I text him and see if I can face-time him, he's usually busy." Marinette tells as she grabs her phone, not hanging up on Alya. The bluenette was careful with her words, choosing correctly without sounding clingy or nervous. Adrien's answer was instant, and that made Marinette swoon a little. Apparently he had no problem and was available all day for her call. Flatterer. Marinette though with a smile.
"It looks like he said yes, talk to you later baby!" Alya laughed making Marinette blush, ending the call with a talk to you later.
Was Marinette panicking? No…
Okay, maybe a little, but she was confident, she was strong! She was (and is) Marinette!
She had no time to panic anyway, not five minutes passed that the FaceTime tune was ringing again, Adrien's picture lighting up. As the bluenette was such a klutz, she almost dropped her phone as she answered the call. Adrien's handsome face came to view. To Adrien, there was only blurriness until Marinette settled down.
He laughed softly thinking how Marinette was so clumsy while Ladybug was so agile. Then he though that Chat Noir was different from Adrien in many aspects, and decided to shut down those thoughts while opening his physic's notebooks.
"So Mari? What's the problem?" He asked with a smile. Marinette sighed a little.
"I don't understand physics." There was a short silence, Adrien waiting for Marinette's explanation. "Like, not at all. I got it all here but I just don't understand the formulas and the theory. I just— agh!"
"Calm down princess, I will stay with you as long as you need, and explain you all the times that you find necessary. I will even go to your house if you need me to explain it face to face." Adrien cringed at the pet name; that was definitely a Chat Noir.
"Oh no no." Marinette laughed. "No way I'll pay attention if you are here." She stated regretting her little slip. Lately, her words slipped a little too much from her mouth.
"Yeah, you are right. I won't be able to teach you properly either." He admitted with a smug smirk looking at Marinette who was frustrated avoiding virtual eye contact. "Moving on…" Adrien whispered awkward "Let's start from the top."
Time passed, it was already 10 pm and they were half way through. Luckily, they still had time till the day of the exam, they even agreed to study a bit in the library. The time they spent together in the library wasn't enough, however and so they continued their study session in Marinette's house.
It was really late for a school night. Adrien had to shower, Mari had to shower they had to sleep, but it didn't matter to them because they were having such a great time together although they were studying physics. There was something in the air around them, they felt at peace, completing each other. Marinette had something Adrien needed and vice versa. Conversations and witty comments flowed like water in a river, there were no uncomfortable silences or awkward pauses. The only thing missing between them were the words that told each other how they felt, romantically. Marinette needed to tell Adrien how worthy he was, how incredibly talented and gentle, she needed to demonstrate him how much she cared about him because he couldn't see it, and didn't believe it.
Adrien needed to reassure Mari she was talented and wonderful, and believe me, he always tried to do it as smoothly as possible. He tried to demonstrate his love through actions, not words, as the former ones did a major impact in the bluenette than just silly words of love (that would make him swoon anytime).
Anyways, when they parted ways, Adrien gave Marinette a big hug and a cute kiss in her head, like the day the parted ways after Chloe's party. Making Marinette linger for a kiss goodbye.
Just wait a little more Mari. Adrien though smiling to himself as he sat in the car, almost giggling like he was twelve years old.
