Tangled

"A yo-yo?" Marinette said incredulously, looking at the spotted object in her hand. "What am I even supposed to do with this?"

She flicked it out experimentally, shrieking as it caught on some building and yanked her off her balcony. She flipped through the air, her stomach feeling like it was going to drop straight out as she started coming back down, the ground getting closer and closer. Squeezing her eyes shut and bracing for the impact, she didn't see the blonde boy step out of his car and onto the sidewalk.

She sure felt him, though, when she crashed right into him, sending them both rolling across the ground with her yo-yo all caught up in the middle.

Groaning, she peeked her eyes open and started blubbering out apologies. But when she tried to get off of him- they were in a pretty risque position with her legs on either side of his thighs and her chest pressed firmly against his lower stomach- she could feel that stupid yo-yo pull taught across her back, keeping her in place.

"Ouch!" She said as the offending magical piece came crashing down on her head and bounced off, the string still coming and coming. Just how long was this darned thing?

"I-I'm so sorry! I did-didn't see you t-there, oh God, I'm so cl-clumsy- are you alright?"

"Y-Yeah…" He breathed, staring at her with wide eyes and red cheeks. "b-But I think we're a little… tangled together. Do you know how to undo it?" She let out an awkward little laugh. "Uhm, funny th-thing… No."

Luckily for the two blushing, stammering idiots, Adrien's bodyguard came rushing around the back of the car, hauling them up to their feet and working to untangle the string.

"So, uh... I'm Adrien." He said awkwardly.

Marinette met his green eyes and swore she could feel her heart melt and leak through her ribs.

"I'm, ah- Mar- Erm, I mean... I'm... Ladybug?"

He smiled politely at her. "Are you a superhero?"

"Y-Yeah." She said, trying to maintain composure. She had never been this close to any boy so handsome before, and definitely not this close to any other boy for so long.

The two stood there, staring into the others eyes, long after the Gorilla finished untangling them.

"Would you like to get lunch with me Friday?"

"That sounds great."

He smiled again at her, but this one was less rehearsed- brighter. "Awesome."
