"A-a b-bet?" Marinette looked at Adrien with questioning eyes.
"Yeah… sorry, it's kind of Nino's fault. He bet me that I couldn't make you fall in love with me, with 100 kisses. I don't know what's gotten into him. If I don't do this, he'll find a way to publicly embarrass me…. So do you mind playing along?" Adrien explained, knowing that public embarrassment would be worse for him, than having to deal with the embarrassment of asking Marinette to go along with this.
"I think he's right." I won't fall in love with you after 100 kisses, because I already love you. Marinette was pulling on her ladybug strength to not stutter around Adrien. "I'll play along," Marinette knew that the kisses from Adrien wouldn't be real, but she still couldn't force herself to turn him down. Even if it would break her heart, she had to agree. Also because she knew how harmful it could be to Adrien's reputation if Nino tried to publicly embarrass him.
"Thank you so much," Adrien said, placing a kiss on Marinette's forehead. "That's one. Not too bad, is it?" Marinette shook her head, her face a shade of pink that Adrien had never seen before. And he was surprised at how her blush made something stir in his heart. She might not be the only one to fall in love because of that silly bet. But he didn't mind in the least.
"I-i-i don't t-think I'll m-mind this t-too much." Marinette stuttered, seeming in a daze, and Adrien liked the fact that his kiss had caused it. I won't mind it either, Princess. Adrien purred in his mind.
