I do not, and never will own Miraculous Ladybug.

"That….. That wouldn't be fair…." Marinette stammered, blushing, once Adrien let go of her. "You can't win a game like that, It will be cheating."

"Hey, all's fair in love and war," Adrien said, smirking. But still realizing that he probably shouldn't have said love just yet. He didn't really know if Marinette was still just going along with the bet, or if she actually might care about him a little. And he still wasn't quite sure of his own feelings. He had been in love with Ladybug for so long, it was hard for him to start realizing that someone else had taken her spot in his heart.

"I… I like that word…." Marinette was still stammering. She wasn't quite used to Adrien kissing her, yet. She usually could hold herself together pretty well, that is, when it wasn't a surprise. This time he really threw her off her guard.

"What word?" Adrien asked, still smirking.

"Love."

"I like that word as well."

"If only…." Marinette thought better than to finish her sentence. A small frown formed on her face. She was afraid that when the bet was all done, everything would go back to 'normal'. Well, as normal as things could get after you kissed someone a hundred times. Still, she was worried that this meant nothing to Adrien. That he really didn't care for her.

"If only what?" Adrien looked intently into Marinette's eyes, wondering what caused the frown.

"Nevermind,"

"Really, please tell me." Adrien said, tipping Marinette's chin up so that she was even closer to him.

"I'm just wondering what will happen after this bet is over."

"Oh, I really don't know." Adrien said, seeing the sadness in Marinette's eyes, a sadness he really didn't want to say. "But let's not worry about that right now. We have other things we have to figure out, like when am I going to meet your parents. Or when I'll officially introduce you to my father. After all, we've only had eighteen kisses so far. We are still very far from 100."

"Eighteen…. I thought…. I've only counted seventeen." The frown on Marinette's face turned into a look of confusion.

"Oh, well, This… This one is eighteen." Adrien said, pressing his lips to hers.
