Day 5: Clumsy - Liv Maddics

A/N: This is post reveal, and the two of them are dating. This is probably around like 16, 17 years old? Idk

"Hey, Adrien, finally showed up to our date?" Marinette teased her boyfriend one lovely spring morning. "How a-are- AAH!" the young designer suddenly tripped over nothing, landing painfully on the ground beside Adrien, who stared down fondly at his girlfriend in amusement.

"So clumsy," she moaned, rolling over to look at her boyfriend, who laughed, joining her on the ground.

"Yeah, you kind of are," he smirked as she huffed at him. "But you're my clumsy girl." Marinette shook her head, groaning.

"Why do I put up with you?" Adrien grinned.

"Come on, you know you love me!"

"Yeah," Marinette's voice was soft. "I do." And with that, the two teens got up, laughing.

Marinette ran down the stairs in her house when she heard the door bells ring, signaling a new arrival into the bakery. Upon seeing who it was, she grinned excitedly.

"Adrien! I'm so glad you're here! I need your help sewing this new dress I'm making." She grabbed her boyfriends arm, tugging him up into her room.

"So what's going on?" Adrien panted, having just run up a couple flights of stairs.

"This stupid dress I'm trying to sew keeps ripping while I run it under the sewing machine, and I need you to hold it in place so it doesn't stretch and get completely unsalvageable and ruined," Marinette explained, gesturing to the sewing machine on the table behind her.

BOOM!

Marinette had heavily hit the sewing machine with her arm, and in an attempt to save it from hitting the floor and breaking had dove towards it, twisting in midair, landing hard on her back. Adrien burst out laughing.

"Princess, you're so so clumsy!"

"I know that already, but thanks Captain Obvious," came a muffled reply from under all of her equipment. "Now are you going to help me or just make fun of me?"

Still laughing, Adrien helped her pick up all her sewing supplies, getting a disgruntled thanks in return.

Marinette had been lying down on Adrien's couch with said boy, watching Back to the Future (goodness, her boyfriend was such a nerd - he had a gigantic wall full of DVD's - romance, comedy, reality TV, anime, it was ridiculous) when Adrien suddenly shifted, causing Marinette to slide off his lap and straight onto the floor.

Her stupid boyfriend was so engrossed in the movie that he didn't even notice her predicament.

"Adrien," she whined, smirking inwardly as he looked down with a comically shocked expression, "Why do you do this to me?" She pouted as he smirked at her.

"Bugaboo, I did nothing. It's all you." Marinette groaned. "Aww, come here," Adrien softened, lifting his girlfriend off the floor and back onto his lap. "Are you okay?" Marinette nodded, disgruntled as she leaned in for a kiss.

"I'm fine, Chaton."

Marinette knocked on Adrien's bedroom door. Rolling out of bed, he went to open the door to find her standing outside it.

"Mari? Wh-"

"Shhhh," Marinette scolded, cutting him off with a kiss. Though surprised at first, Adrien leaned into it, deepening the kiss. They stood there for a while, arms around each other, wrapped up in one of the best kisses of their lives.

"Ahem," Nathalie suddenly appeared. Startled, the teenagers jumped apart as if they'd been burned, Marinette slamming her head into the wall. Again.

Looking like she was trying not to laugh, Nathalie apologized profusely before handing Adrien his schedule and walking away to "leave you two lovebirds alone," as she had put it.

Marinette groaned, rubbing her head. Adrien chuckled, pulling her into a hug.

"Oh, Mari, you just can't catch a break, can you?" The girl groaned.

"Ow."

"Poor Bugaboo," Adrien sighed. "Will a kiss make it feel better?" Marinette smiled. Adrien took that as a yes and leaned in, kissing the top of her head sloppily.

"What do you have on your schedule today?" Marinette snuggled into her boyfriend's embrace. Looking at the piece of paper in front of him, his face lit up.

"I have 3 hours to spend with you!" Marinette smiled coyly.

"Good thing I got dressed for the occasion, then." Adrien looked his girlfriend up and down, blushing as he noticed what she was wearing for the first time. She had a lacy black tank top with a draped gray sweater, and she looked absolutely stunning.

"Y-you look b-beautiful," Adrien stammered. "Um, let me go get changed, then." Marinette smiled.

"Sounds good."

2 years later

Marinette, wearing a red dress, followed Adrien as he walked under the Eiffel Tower.

"It's beautiful, but… why are we here?" Marinette inquired. They had spent the night at a fancy restaurant after taking a stroll, and she had been under the impression that they were going home. She guessed not.

Adrien turned to her nervously.

"Well," he suddenly got down on his knees and she gasped, her heart leaping into her throat. Was he…

"M'lady, Princess, Bugaboo," Adrien gulped, grabbing her hand. "Marinette. I first realized my love for you on that day when I met you, and you saved Paris for the first time. I vowed to myself that day that I would never let you go, and I didn't. You are the love of my life. The sun that lights up my world. The constant presence that I trust and know won't leave me." As he paused, Marinette felt tears welling up in her eyes.

It was really happening!

"No matter how clumsy you may be, I will always love you. Your kindness, and patience, and wit never ceases to amaze me. You are the most amazing girl I've ever met."

At this point, a small crowd had formed, watching the famous Adrien Agreste propose to his girlfriend. Many of them had tears in their eyes as they heard him pour out his heart to her.

"With you by my side, I'm more confident. More able to cope with the difficult situations and hurdles thrown at me. I'm made a better person thanks to you. I hope to be able to share this life I'm preparing for with you. To claim you as mine and never let you go. Marinette, I love you." Adrien took a deep breath. "And now I ask, Marinette, will you marry me?"

Marinette, full-on crying at this point, stared at her boyfriend lovingly.

"Of course," she whispered. "Of course!" she pulled him towards her, engulfing her in a huge hug. "I want to spend my life with you," she whispered as he slipped the ring onto her finger.

The two embraced, sharing a passionate kiss before piling into Adrien's car and heading home, to Marinette's house.

In front of her house, Marinette turned to Adrien.

"Even with my clumsiness?" Adrien smiled.

"Especially with your clumsiness." And with that the two shared one last kiss, full of love for each other that many can only hope to experience.

All was well.

A/N: Well, I don't know how well that proposal scene was. Or the ending scene was. But oh, well, I tried. I hope y'all enjoyed!
