So I didn't realize that I had this chapter sitting in my editing area for months fully completed and I forgot to post it the last time I worked on this storyMy baaaaaaad!Tiny Warning: I finally went and saw Happy Death Day this chapter doesn't have spoilers to the movie but it does contain a bit about how I felt about the movie.

Challenge

Adrien POV

Alya groaned as we walked out of the theater. "Man what a let down!" She shouted. "I thought Happy Death Day was going to be horror movie gold like IT, but I felt like I was watching a damn sitcom!"

Nino just smiled. "I liked it. Don't know how you convinced me to see it, but I think I might have a new look on horror films because of it."

"That was NOT a horror film!"

"I enjoyed it a lot." Marinette said slightly giggling. "But I do agree with Alya, that was more of a Comedy than a horror film. At most it was a parody of a horror film. What do you think Adrien?"

I was thrown a little bit off guard when she suddenly addressed me, but I managed to pull out my answer. "I mean I like it too, not as a horror film, but as a Mystery. They gave us a chance to try to figure out who the killer might be and they weren't incredibly obvious with the reveal."

"Would you believe me if I said that person was my first guess just from watching the trailer?" Marinette gave a guilty smile.

I laughed. "I wouldn't be surprised honestly."

"Really?" Alya asked. "Cause I thought it was-"

"Hey! Don't spoil!" Nino scolded.

"What? What do you mean spoil? We literally JUST saw the movie!"

"Yeah, but there are still some people who haven't seen it. You never know who could be listening."

"...what the FUCK are you talking about?!"

Nino and Alya were at it again going back and forth on yet another topic that would eventually die down in a few minutes. When I looked over at Marinette she was shaking her head smiling at the two.

I smiled too, even with everything going on it's nice to just be here having a good time with her and the others.

I just hope I'll be able to get a decent amount of sleep tonight without any provocative dreams about Marinette...

I saw Mari shiver slightly from the corner of my eyes it was night now and there was a slight breeze. Out of instinct I took off my jacket and placed it over her shoulders.

She looked surprised at first, but smiled up at me. "Thanks.."

"No problem."

"Aw how sweet~" Alya cooed then hit Nino's arm. "Why can't YOU be sweet like Adrien? You didn't think I might be cold?"

"Babe if you want to wear my jacket you could just ask." Nino said taking off his and placing over Alya. "You know why?"

"Why?"

"Cause...'the cold never bothered me anyway~'"

"YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE IM GOING TO KILL YOU WITH THAT SONG STUCK IN MY HEAD I SWEAR!!!"

ooooooooooo

Marinette POV

It's happening again, nearly 2 in the morning and I can't sleep. I dont know why though, maybe I anticipated Chat Noir coming over again, but I had told him last time that I needed a decent amount of sleep tonight so I doubt he'd come.

Problem is I've barely been able to shut my eyes since I've crawled into bed.

I mean I know I have to deal with the thing with Chat, but is that really keeping me from getting any sleep?

Climbing out of bed I decided to head to the kitchen to grab a glass of water from the kitchen so I could take the other half of that pill that I took before. The only thing covering my body is tiny shorts and a tight tank top but, I'm not really worried about running into anyone since everyone is most likely asleep or went home at this hour.

Walking back to my room from the kitchen I noticed that Adrien's door was cracked open. I could hear the faint sound of his TV so I carefully stepped inside.

He was sitting on his couch playing his video game. It seemed like he hadn't noticed me come in since his back was facing my direction.

I could have fun with this.

Sitting my glass down on a nearby table I snuck my way over to Adrien approaching him from behind the couch and ever so slightly...

I nipped him on his ear.

He gasped and jumped up startled falling on the ground dropping his controller. Due to his sudden jolt he lost the online match against the older player. I cover my mouth trying to conceal my laughter, but failed to do so once Adrien shot a glare in my direction.

"What the HELL Marinette?!!" He shouted, his face looked red. I hope I didn't upset him too much. "Why'd you bite me??!"

"I'm pretty sure biting requires me to use my teeth with full force." I said with a smile.

Adrien groaned and returned to his spot on the couch. "What are you doing in here anyway?" He leaned forward picking up the controller of the ground.

"Do I need an excuse to come hang out my good friend?" I said making my way around the couch and taking a seat.

There was an unreadable expression in his eyes before he replied. "Well no...I just meant what are you doing up at this hour? I thought you would be fast asleep by now."

"Couldn't sleep. I went to go get a glass of water so I could take another one of those pills you gave me."

"You didn't take them before?"

"I did, but I only took half of one and it was enough to make me pass out." I looked at the TV. "So what game are you playing?"

"Injustice 2." He said "Just got the game about a month ago. Graphics are amazing."

"How good are you at it?"

"Pretty good if I say so myself."

"Bet you I'm even better."

"Is that a challenge I'm hearing?" He sent a smirk on my direction.

"Why yes it is." I mirrored his expression. "I mean I've beaten you at every single game sitting on your shelf might as well keep the train moving."

"Well Mari I've happened to play this game multiple times in the past month since I've gotten it and not once have I seen you play it."

"It's just like any other fighting game. It won't take more than a second for me to get the hang of it."

Adrien thought about something for a moment and sent me a grin that made me suspicion. "Then how about we place bets then if you're so confident. Two out of three winner takes all."

I scoffed at the offer. "You can't be serious-"

"What's wrong Princess? Are you chicken?"

Ignoring this familiar feeling in the back of my mind I glared at him. "You are so on! If I win you have to buy me lunch for the next week!"

"You say that as if I wouldn't do it on my own?"

"Take it or leave it."

"Okay okay fine...well if I win..." It took him a second to figure out what he wanted, but then the most sinister smile appeared on his face.

What could he possibly be planning?

"If I win..." He said. "You have to kiss me."
