Mushy fluff is the best fluff.

I would say I'm sorry, but I'm not.

So, yeah, enjoy. Sorry about it being mostly Adrienette, Its hard to fit Ladrien in something like this where they now can't be seen together, but I'll be trying my best the next few chapters.

"I'm so happy that we were able to get front row seats to Adrien's recital!"

Chloe looked up from where she had been filing her nails. "Of course Adrikins would make sure to give us front row seats, especially Agreste over there." She pointed to Marinette.

Said girl arched an eyebrow. "Did you just call me Adrien's last name?"

She shrugged as she continued to trim her nails. "If the shoe fits, wear it. Sometimes you gotta break in the shoe before you wear it, just so you get used to it.I won't be calling you Dupain-Cheng for forever you know."

She looked to Alya, silently asking her what the blond between them meant by that. "You are dating him, girl. Can't really blame her."

Marinette's nose scrunched and she glared at her best friend. "Thanks."

She smiled. "Just doing my job."

"Look, dudes." Nino pointed to the line in front of them. "Lines moving. Let's get going. I wanna see my bro proform already."

They finally got inside the rather luscious theater, escaping the nippy autumn air that was starting to accumulate. They took their seats in the front, Marinette having Chloe sit on her left and Alya to her direct right while Nino was on the other side of Alya.

There was light chatter spreading about the crowd of thousands of people. While Marinette wasn't one for fancy outings— it was a black tie event and everything— she was excited to see Adrien play the piano.

Adrien's father entered a few minutes after the five were seated, with both Kagami and her mother on either side of him.

That was normal though. Even if she was Adrien' s girlfriend— and he proudly boasted about that the past two months, much to her blush— they still invited Kagami and her mother to social events of the like, seeing as their parents were still business partners.

They were civil towards each other, and Marinette had apologized for the whole movie premiere incident, which Kagami fully accepted, and apologized for her own standoffish behavior at times when it came to trying to win over Adrien.

She even said she was happy for the couple, and wished them the best. But the young designer could tell there was still an air of tension between everyone, or maybe it was just a bit of heartbreak because Adrien was with her and not the fencer. Either way, Marinette couldn't help the small twinge of guilt every so often.

But, tonight seemed to be one of the better nights for the two girls, because as Kagami passed, she gave a nod with a smile towards Marinette in greeting, and she reciprocated the action. Progress could be made every once and a while at least.

As the lights in the theater started to dim with the last of the guest finally filed in, Marinette turned her attention to the stage as the spotlight as shone.

There were a few acts ahead of Adrien's, and while she did her best to pay attention to them, she just wasn't as invested. They were good though, and she clapped along every time a piece ended.

Then Adrien took front and center, he looked out into the crowd and when he spotted them, gave a wave, and blew her a kiss.

The audience awed at that.

She blushed. That kitty of hers was something else.

Alya poked her in the stomach with her elbow. "I bet Mr. Hot stuff is enjoying this much more with his princess here."

Marinette's eyes narrowed. "You know, I always thought that after Adrien and I got together, the teasing would actually stop."

She snorted. "You wish."

Adrien began to play, and the blogger huffed at having to cease her playing.

Marinette smiled and gave her full attention to her boyfriend. The song he played— it was one that his father insisted he played — was elegant, something that she had heard him practice often, especially when she would pay him late night visits as Ladybug. The build up was heartwarming, and she loved listening to it.

She could listen to him playing the piano for hours on end and would still be sad when it ended. But all good things must come to a close.

As the key ended the final note, he stood from his bench as a round of applause echoed throughout the room, and gave a low bow. The group of five stood from their seats to cheer him on either further.

Adrien grabbed his papers, and started to make his way off the stage, he looked over his shoulder, and shot her a wink.

Every time she thought she couldn't fall in love with him anymore, she just kept falling with no ground in sight.

But she knew if anything would catch her, in the end, it would be Adrien's arms.

She was halfway out the door when a hand grabbed and halted her. She turned to see Adrien standing there with a soft smile on his lips. His father stood next to him, Kagami and her mother just behind. "Hey, princess. Do you think you could stay back for a bit? I have a surprise for you."

She eyed him suspiciously, but nodded anyway.

She glanced at Alya, who instantly agreed. "I'll get these two dorks home safe and sound."

Chloe seemed to take offense at that. "One time! You get lost once, because it was dark, mind you and you just saw a scary movie for the first time in your life, and it carries throughout the rest of your life!"

"You lived a block away."

Chloe shrunk at that. "Yeah, okay. Fair point."

The two allowed themselves to be dragged away.

The mother and daughter came up to congratulate Adrien on a job well done, and bid them a nice night.

Gaberial looked at the two before looking at the Gorilla. "I need to get home, and I can guess you'll be a bit. I'll have your driver come back and fetch you. Goodnight, Marinette."

She nodded. "You as well, sir."

Once the cost was cleared, she spun around to her boyfriend, eyeing him suspiciously.. "What're you up to, kitty?"

The knowing smirk festered. "Oh, you know. Things." And without another word, scooped her up bridal style, causing her to giggle and carried her down the hall and back to the performance room. He took her up the steps and over to the piano, sitting her down gently on the bench.

He joined her on the other side of the seat and she couldn't help but ask, "You gotta tell me what's going on, hot stuff? I'm lost here."

He smiled a smile he reversed only for her. "I did a song that my father really had been wanting to do. But this." His fingers brushed the keys of the piano lightly, preparing for the song was about to play. "This one I made for only special ears to hear.."

With that, he played, and he played beautifully. The melody started out slowly, bringing a soft tune to the overly large room. The tempo continued to climb further and further with every note and it brought her to tears. Her hand went to her heart as she scootched even closer to him, allowing little space between the two.

As the song came to its climax, it was loud and powerful, and filled with so many emotions, but it was all harmonically balanced together. It was filled with love, and happiness, and warmth in each press of the keys. It sounded like everything good that was in the world. It fit, just like a puzzle piece. Just like them.

As it lowered down from the climax, it grew soft again, every part connecting just so, and with the final few notes, the song gracefully faded off quietly into a completed end.

It was everything, and it came from the man she loved most, Marinette knew she would want to listen to the song on repeat whenever possible, and she didn't care. She was sobbing up a storm, but Adrien was there to wrap an arm around her and kiss her forehead.

Curiosity flooded her. "What. What was that song called?"

He smiled. "Isn't it obvious?"

She shook her head.

"It's called Lovebug."

I hope you enjoyed! Please lemme know your thoughts! Lots of love!

Husband note:

I usually would like to leave something funny, but for this one, I would like to suggest a piece of music to go along with the chapter. While I can't say my choice in song is what was intended I found the Piano cover of "This is me" is a fair companion piece to this chapter.

Also, Chloe and Alya would make a Social Media powerhouse. Just putting that out there.
