Marinette slouched into class with a yawn, shoulders slumped. Plopping her bag onto the floor, she promptly positioned her arms on her table and put her head into them. Alya snorted from beside her.
"Good morning to you too, Marinette. I'm feeling good today, Marinette. Thanks for asking, Marinette." Ayla teased, only getting a half conscious groan in response. "What have you been doing during the night, sleepy head?" Ayla wondered, looking at the bluenette who just nestled her head further into the crook of her elbows.
Seeing that the tired girl wasn't going to respond with an intelligible sentence anytime soon, Ayla turned her attention to Nino and Adrien, who had just walked into the classroom. Or, more accurately for the later boy, walking into the doorway of the classroom, bumping his head. "Me-ouch," Adrien said absent-mindedly, and made his way to the desk in front of Marinette.
Mirroring Marinette's position, Adrien rested his head and closed his eyes. "What's up with them both?" Nino asked Alya while nodding his head at the two exhausted classmates. Ayla shrugged, not knowing either.
Lila, seeing that Marinette was asleep, walked over to Ayla and Nino, thinking that it was a perfect time to target Marinette's closest friends. "Hey, Ayla! Hi, Nino! So I was thinking…" Lila's perfectly glossed lips spewed nothing but lies. However, the targets of her words were lured into her web. "Can you believe that Jagged Stone, THE Jagged Stone, is going to write a song about me?!" Lila squealed, the high pitched noise avraggrating.
While talking, Lila 'sneakily' leaned into Adrien, who was subconsciously leaning away from the annoying presence. Glaring imperceptibly, Lila threw her arms around Adrien. This proved to be a mistake.
"CATACLYSM!" Adrien yelled while jerking up from his chair, positioning his right hand like he was holding something dangerous, automatically dropping into a fighting stance. Blinking a couple times, the blond model registered that he was in class, not fighting an akuma, and that he had just knocked Lila to the ground and gained the attention of all his classmates.
Marinette, rudely startled awake, had her hand racing towards her hip to help her partner in his battle. Looking up from the table where she was previously face-planted, her mind realized that she was not, in-fact, in front of Chat Noir, despite the fact that there was a voice that sounded bizarrely like her kitty and that voice had called upon Chat Noir's power.
Head racing, Marinette struggled to make sense of the situation, before coming to one final conclusion. Adrien is Chat Noir!? Marinette felt faint. Wait. I kissed Adrien! And he doesn't remember! I sit behind Chat Noir! Fudge this.
"Ahaha, sorry?" After making sure that his hand didn't actually have Cataclysm in them (he didn't know whether powers would work in civilian form, he didn't know whether to be glad or not for the discovery) he used his right hand to scratch sheepishly behind his neck. "I… was startled? Sorry?" He apologized again.
Marinette, still slightly dizzy from the revelation, stood up abruptly, taking the class by surprise. "Girl, what?" Ayla asked, befuddled by Adrien and Marinette's behavior. Lila, upset that no one was helping her off the floor, sniffed in disdain and got herself up, only to be knocked back down by Marinette who stomped in front of Adrien with a determined face.
This bizarre behavior shocked the class again, most in disbelief that Marinette, sweet, kind-hearted Marinette, would ever knock someone down. However, their eyes were exposed to another shell-shocking event: Marinette grabbing Adrien's shirt collar, and hissing into his ear, "Corridor. Now."
Without waiting for an answer, Marinette dragged Adrien out the doorway. The moment that they left, the whole class started murmuring.
"Dude, what was that? I don't think I've ever even heard Adrien yell!"
"Marinette looked pissed, man. Do you think Adrien is going to survive?"
"He yelled 'Cataclysm', the thing that Chat Noir does every time he uses his power! What was Adrien doing by yelling that? It's not like he could've done it…"
"Damn. How many euros do you bet that they're going to kiss and come back as a couple?"
"Adrien is not going to be taken by that jealous brat!"
Meanwhile, out in the hallway, Marinette and Adrien were in a storage closet. "So, uh, any chance you'll let me leave and drown myself?" Adrien asked. "No, kitty, you are not going to drown yourself. What I want to say is that THAT IS SUCH A STUPID WAY OF REVEALING YOURSELF!" Marinette yelled into Adrien's face.
All was silent for about two seconds before Adrien made the connection. "M'lady?" He gasped, as Marinette nodded. Without hesitation, Adrien pulled her into a hug, Marinette wrapping her arms around him as well and squeezing. Suddenly realizing that they were in a closet and she was hugging Adrien Agreste, her long time crush, Marinette squeaked and short-circuited.
"You're too cute, bugaboo." Adrien chuckled before extracting himself from the embrace. Before she lost her nerves, Marinette made up her mind. "Well, see you in class then, m'lad-mmpH!" While Adrien was speaking, she took advantage of his distracted speaking, jumped at Adrien, and kissed him. What began as a somewhat chaste kiss quickly became something more fast-paced and aggressive, Adrien sliding down the wall as Marinette kneeled above him.
No one asked when they returned from class with rumpled clothes and dazed expressions. Adrien was out of it for the remainder of the day, switching between gazing adoringly at Marinette when he could and staring off into the distance with a dreamy look on his face. Marinette was not much better, but when she caught Adrien staring at her, she smirked, which in turn made him blush and hide his face.
Night patrol that day was interesting, to say the least.
