Adrien and his Girl Problems- Chapter eleven

Hi! I have another chapter for you!

Thanks so much for all your encouragement on this story. :)

Now, let's get on with it!

…

Later that night, Marinette stood on her own balcony, waiting for Adrien to come up into her room and let her in. She didn't know where he had gone but she hoped he would be back soon because it was staring to get very cold outside, even while transformed.

A cool breeze had just started blowing and she shivered, staring out at the street below her. The familiar sight made her wonder how much longer she would be stuck as Adrien. She hoped it wouldn't get too much longer. She was starting to miss her family. Marinette had never realized how much she would miss her own life until she was living someone else's.

A light flicked on just then and Adrien entered. He didn't notice her at first but when she tapped on the trapdoor leading into the balcony, he looked up, mouth falling open in surprise. He quickly scrambled up and opened the trapdoor and she swung in. "Hello, Princess." She said, imitating Chat Noir's general greeting for her.

He raised an eyebrow. "You're starting to sound more like me." He said and she grinned at him.

"Well, we don't want people getting suspicious, do we? It would be hard to explain to our parents."

"True." He agreed. "What did you come here for?" He added.

"What, am I not allowed to visit my own house?" She asked, glancing over at him.

"Of course you can." Adrien assured her. "Anytime you want. Are you going to stay like that?" He gestured towards her.

Marinette nodded. "I'm not sure I could convince Plagg to transform again when I wanted to leave. He complained like mad when I wanted to come over here."

"Good to know he's still being normal." Adrien said with a grin, then jumped when Tikki suddenly zoomed into sight.

"Marinette!" The little kwami exclaimed, swooping right up to Marinette's (well, Adrien's) face and hugging her. "I missed you. I wish we could sort this all out soon!"

Marinette giggled, gently petting her kwami. "Hey Tikki." She turned to Adrien. "I came to see if we could find a way to transform back to ourselves." She said plopping down into the chair by her desk.

She grabbed a piece of paper lying nearby and a pencil. "How about we try Alya's idea of using the Lucky Charm?" She suggested, scribbling something down on the paper.

Then she glanced up and saw all her pictures of Adrien still up on her walls. Letting out a strangled squeak, she could feel herself turning bright red. Adrien had seen all her pictures of him. He must think she was such a creepy stalker. Her eyes went wide and panicked. What if he never wanted to talk to her again once this was all over? "Marinette?" Said boy asked, having turned around from trying to untangle a hair tie from his hair when she made a noise. "Are you alright?"

Marinette threw her pencil up in surprise. It clattered onto the desk behind her as she whirled to face him. "I- I'm fine!" She said hurriedly but Adrien could've sworn her (his?) voice was more high-pitched than usual. "Just fine! Perfect really! Actually, why don't you go grab something to eat and some hot chocolate for us to have while trying to change back? It's got to be at least a bit draining to switch bodies. I'd go myself but it'd be a bit hard to explain what I'm doing here. So you should just run and do that. No problems." She babbled frantically, waving her hands to try convince Adrien to leave the room.

He blinked, confused, then gave a lopsided grin. Marinette's heart flipped over and she turned several shades redder. "Alright. I'll be back." And then he left.

"Tikki!" Marinette wailed as soon as he was out of earshot. "The pictures!" She gestured wildly to her walls.

The kwami flew over and gently patted her holder's hand. "Relax, Marinette. I'm almost certain he thinks it's because you like to design clothes. And I removed all the embarrassing ones while he was sleeping." She said comfortingly.

"Oh, Tikki. You're the best! I don't know what I'd do without you."

Tikki nuzzled Marinette's face affectionately.

When Adrien returned, Marinette looked significantly calmer. She had written a few things down on the piece of paper, but paused when Adrien placed a cup of hot chocolate down next to her. "Hot chocolate for the princess." He said with a bow.

She stared at him and realized again that sweet, kind Adrien was also her overly flirtatious superhero partner. She smiled at him. "Thanks." She said.

He placed a plate of various sweet things down on the desk and Tikki immediately attacked it. The two humans laughed at her excitement. "Well," Adrien said. "What other ideas do you have?"

"Nothing other than using the Lucky Charm and just waiting it out." She admitted.

"Let's try the Lucky Charm. Tikki, spots on!" He called.

He transformed then called on the Lucky Charm. A pillow fell into his hands. "It looks like it thinks we need to have a nap." Adrien said.

"What do you see with the Ladybug vision?"

He glanced around. "Only the bed lights up."

She sighed. "This is difficult. I can't think of anything right now. I say we wait it out for a few days then see if we can think of anything else." She suggested, tucking the paper into one of the pockets in Chat Noir's suit.

Adrien nodded and detransformed in a cloud of pink sparkles. Tikki immediately flew over and grabbed another cookie. Marinette finished off her chocolate then moved to head off. "Well I might as well go now since you so obviously need a nap, according to the Ladybug vision. Goodnight Adrien." She smiled at him then stopped. "I almost forgot. We'll probably have to change our clothes tonight unless you fancy my mother yelling at you to have a shower and get changed."

"Will she really do that?" Adrien asked.

Somehow he just couldn't see Sabine doing that. But Marinette was nodding and she obviously knew her own mother better than Adrien did. "She will if she thinks you've been wearing the same thing for three days in a row."

"Well I won't risk it then. Goodnight My Lady."

He managed to glimpse a faint blush on her cheeks before she turned and bounded away with his baton.

Adrien sighed and flopped down on Marinette's bed. He realized that if he was going to be spending at least several more nights here, then he may as well use the bed since Marinette's parents might get suspicious if they saw him sleeping on the couch. "Aren't you going to get changed?" Tikki asked and he shook his head.

"Too tired. I'll do it in the morning." He muttered. "Goodnight Tikki."

He was fast asleep within minutes. Tikki flew and switched off the lights before settling down near his head on the pillow. "Goodnight Adrien." Then she also fell asleep.

…

Well, I hope you liked this chapter! In the next one we get to watch them be embarrassed and try change their clothes, which is going to be interesting. ;) It should be out soonish, I hope.

But I hurt my arm recently and can really only properly use one hand to type, which is really slow, but I'll try.

See you all soon!

Cookies to all you lovely people! (::) (::) (::) (::) (::) (::) (::) (::)
