I hope you guys enjoy! :D

They didn't leave the alleyway right away. He just couldn't stop kissing her, sue him. It had been three months, three whole months since they so much as kissed. That was 90 days.

Not that he was counting.

When they pulled back, knowing they had to go out and actually face reality, Adrien wanted just a few more minutes for them, hidden away in this little alleyway. "I love you, Marinette. I love you so much."

The content sigh was everything that happiness was made of. "I love you too, kitty. I missed you."

His heart thumped at the lovestruck stare clouding her eyes. Add that to seeing her lips being fiery red and swollen, and her cheeks flushed red, with her hair now messed up because of him. He did that to her, and he planned to do that over and over to her again in the near very future.

He pulled her close, burying his nose in her hair. They stood there, just soaking in the presence of each other. Nothing around them really mattered— they were blind to everything; including the two girls that just happend to be passing by.

"I knew it!"

The couple turned to see Chloe and Alya standing there, Chloe with her arms over her chest, eyebrow arched, and a lopsided smirk painted on her face. Alya was gobsmacked with her mouth to the sidewalk.

Alya came out of her stupor pretty quick, and grabbed Chloe, beginning to bounce up and down in glee. It took a minute for Chloe to join in, but eventually, the excitement broke her too, and started to jump along with her.

Adrien and Marinette looked to each other before looking back to the squealing girls. Adrien was the one to voice their shared question. "Are...are you guys gonna be okay?"

Chloe was the first to stop and get ahold of herself. "'Course, Adrikins. We're just happy to have this mutual pinning finally over with."

The two exchanged a knowing glance before Marinette smirked at their friends. "Trust me.. We are well aware."

Adrien knew they would be public news soon enough, especially with someone like Alya knowing about it.

But he couldn't deny the hope he had that they'd have at least a few days to themselves.

However, that dream had been instantly crushed as the news spread like wildfire. He wasn't mad exactly— he'd scream it from the rooftops that he was dating Marinette Dupain Cheng if he could— just a little frustrated that he couldn't have easy alone time with her.

On the bright side, his father warmed up to her almost instantly. Saying how he approved and gave them his blessing and— much to Adrien's delight— instructed his assistant to clear specific time during the week to be able to spend time together.

That was one of those times right now. His lady and he were hiding out in his room— they were gonna give the press a few days to calm down after finding out that Adrien Agreste was once more off the market— cuddled under the blankets, with her decked out his shirt and him wearing his pj bottoms.

Marinette's parents had agreed, seeing that it was the weekend, that she was allowed to sleepover at his place, and even his father welcomed her in, making sure that Natalie had given her anything she could want.

It was a stark contrast from.. Ladybug.

Only if he knew.

The second she entered his room, Adrien couldn't help it, he hadn't so much as kissed her in so long, and he wanted to remedy that. He missed loving her.

So, they caught up on some… particular activities that they had both been missing.

An hour later and the movie was twenty minutes in now, and Adrien couldn't help as his mind started to drift away from the movie and to the girl next to him. His girlfriend.

That was music to his ears to know that she was his and no one could ever take her away from him ever again.

She must've felt his eyes on her, because she moved her own away from the movie to lock onto his. The second her face was turned towards his, he pressed a soft kiss to her forehead. "Is everything okay, Adrien?"

He smiled, closing the laptop and moving it to the side for now and pulled her even closer. "Yeah." He nuzzled her cheek. "I...I'm just scared that this is just a dream. That I'll wake up and you'll be gone."

She asked, and moved so that her legs were on either side of him, her gaze locked heavy onto his. When she spoke, it was with adoration, and love, and the tone that she only used for him. But along with that, she was firm in her words too. "Adrien, I'm not going anywhere. Not without you at least." She nudged her nose against his. "I'm yours, and you're mine."

She left him speechless. She always somehow did that. Well, except when she didn't.

"Marry me."

She obviously hadn't expected that, and almost jumped back far enough to fall off the bed. But she caught herself and got her composure under control, and was back in his lap so quick as if he hadn't moved at all. "Sorry, I just…" She breathed. "Hadn't expected you to say that out of the blue."

His eyebrows furrowed. "We've talked about it plenty of times before. What difference does now make?"

She sighed, but her lips curved into a smile at the release of air. "I guess… I guess it's just the idea it's even more real." She shrugged. "There's no masks between us anymore. And the way you said it just so matter of factly. Like you'd marry me tomorrow if you could."

He smirked. "I would."

Her tea kettle whine would never get old. She moved to hide her face in his neck. "We're barely sixteen. I think we have to wait a little bit longer."

He shrugged. "I don't mind waiting." He knew he was having some kind of effect on her, and it made his inner Chat pur. He wanted her for the rest of his life, and who could blame him? She was Marinette. No one else could compare.

The sweet kiss that she placed on his neck had to be payback. It had to be. "Eighteen then. If you're willing to wait until eighteen, that's all I ask."

He started to rub circles into her back. "You don't have to, bugaboo. Whenever you're ready-"

She laughed against his skin, and as always, it sent shivers down his spine. "Do you really think I'd wait any longer than I have to marry you? I'm as impatient as you are. You just… caught me off guard."

He trailed kisses along the crown of her head, closing his eyes as he let the calm wash over him. "Sorry, didn't mean to catch you off guard like that, but I'm glad to be clear on where I stand with us." He gently pushed her back to be able to look at her once more, her eyes sparkling as they always did. She was so beautiful, and just how was she his? "Marinette, I meant it when I said I have every intention to marry you. Along with having Hugo, Emma, and Louis."

She giggled, moving her hand to trace the outline of his jaw. "I could tell you that I loved you a million times a day, and it still wouldn't convey one hundred percent of how I feel. I love you, Adrien Agreste, more than I could love anyone else in this world."

Self doubt was always nagging at the back of his mind, it always did. "Even when we have to hide out here?"

His girlfriend cooed. "Yes. You once told me you don't have a future without me, well you listen here, mister." She ducked in close, her breath washing over his face, her expression all Ladybug, and he loved her all the more for it. "I don't have one without you either. Not one that I want at least."

He felt the edge of his eyes prickle with tears. "Thank you. For loving me as much as you do."

She rested her head against his chest. "You have no reason to thank me. I'm more than happy to love you."

He could feel the call of sleep pulling him under. "I'm getting sleepy, bugaboo." He heard her laugh as his eyelids started to droop and he relaxed against his pillows, taking her with him into a laying position. "I think," He yawned. "It's time to go to bed."

The last thing he could recall was a gentle kiss to his jaw and his mind subduing to the need for sleep.

Maybe hiding out still had its perks for the moment

I swear, June is a busy month for us, especially the last week.

23rd-his parents anniversary.

24th-our anniversary/his dad's birthday

25-my husbands birthday.

In other words, I'm exhausted, and I'm so sorry about this being later than usual! Lots of love, and good night!
