Chapter 6: Popcorn


I'm sorry this chapter is so short. I am very busy because it is my first week back at school. I'll try to make my next chapter longer. I also can't thank you all enough for all the reviews, new followers and people that have favourited my story. Without further ado, here is chapter 6!


(With Tikki and Plagg)

"Was it just me or were they both being strange…Well stranger than usual?" Asked Plagg, from the opposite side of the couch, after the other two left to get popcorn. He was more than slightly nervous, too say the least. After all, this was the first time he had spoken to her in quite a long time.

"Yeah…" Replied Tikki, still staring at the door, also very nervous.

Then there was a very, VERY long, awkward silence, where they both pretended to be interested in something else.

Plagg finally broke the silence by asking, "So how's life been, Sugarcube?"

Relieved that Plagg had broken the silence, and also slightly overwhelmed by the sweet nickname, Tikki replied, "Oh, it's been great! My owner is so kind and talented, and she also lives in the best bakery in Paris! So I get to eat all types of delicious treats! How has your life been, Plagg?"

"My life has been pretty good too. My owner is very kind and caring, but he can be strange at times. And he doesn't like camembert cheese! It's crazy!"

Tikki rolled her eyes playfully at Plagg, just as the door opened up again and their owners walked in.


(With Marinette and Adrien)

"Well…Plagg…likes your kwami." Adrien told her in a voice barely above a whisper.

"Really!" Marinette exclaimed in relief. "That's perfect!"

"Why?"

"Because Tikki likes your kwami too!" Marinette replied, letting out an excited squeal of happiness. "But don't tell Plagg or Tikki that I said that!"

"I won't if you don't tell Plagg and Tikki what I said." Answered Adrien with a smile. "Your secrets safe with me." Giggled Marinette, returning Adrien's smile.

"It's obvious that they're not going to talk much while we're around…" Marinette said as an idea popped into her head.

"But when we're not around they'll have no other choice but to talk to each other!" Exclaimed Adrien, finishing off her sentence with a grin.

"Exactly! But the question is, why would we have to leave?" Marinette replied, thoughtfully.

They both ponded on the question for a few seconds, before Adrien exclaimed, "I've got it! I could take you on a tour around the house! You might even be able to have a quick look at my father's old design books!"

"Yeah! That sounds like fun! We'll do that!" Answered Marinette, excitedly.

"You see how well we work together." flirted Adrien. Marinette blushed, but rolled her eyes playfully. "Yeah, I guess we do work well together." This made Adrien blush and smile in pure happiness. He'd been waiting forever for her to say that.

Marinette stared at Adrien. She just couldn't help but think of how cute he looked at the moment. His face held a dreamy expression and his cheeks were very red. His perfect green eyes were slightly closed and his lips had formed into the most adorable smile. Marinette sighed, dreamily. She so wished he would ask her out. She couldn't imagine how happy it would make her to have Adrien Agreste as her boyfriend. He was just so…Perfect!

Adrien finally snapped out of his trance and looked over at Marinette. Marinette giggled as Adrien realised his facial expression and quickly stood up straight. "Silly Kitty." She smirked, making Adrien blush as they began to walk back up the stairs.

They then approached Adrien's bedroom door. Adrien opened the door letting Marinette in first and then they both looked over at Tikki and Plagg who look over at them.

"Hey…Weren't you going to get popcorn?" Plagg questioned, looking around for any sign of popcorn.

"Umm…Well." Marinette and Adrien, stuttered. They had totally forgot!

"Uh, Nevermind. Let's just finish this movie. I don't like popcorn anyway." Said Plagg, turning back to face the TV.

Marinette and Adrien sighed in relief as they both sat down and continued to watch the movie.


Once the movie had finished, Marinette and Adrien exchanged a look. Then Adrien said, "What should we do now?" Then he pretended to think.

"Hey, how about I take you on a tour of the house!"

"That's a great idea!" Replied Marinette, finding it hard to contain her smirk.

They both walked to the door, with their kwami's trailing behind. Then Adrien turned around just before he opened the door and said, "I think you two should stay in here. It would be way more fun doing stuff in my room, then being stuck in a bag for the rest of the day. We'll be back in around forty-five minutes." Marinette nodded beside him and then exclaimed, "Have fun!" As they both left the room.


Marinette and Adrien walked outside and giggled. "I can't wait to hear about what happens in there!" Exclaimed Marinette, smiling.

"Yeah, me two!" Said Adrien with his own smile. He then turned around to look at his bedroom door and sighed. "Hopefully they do have fun. I won't be able to bare seeing Plagg anymore sad than he was yesterday."

"Yesterday? Why was Plagg sad yesterday?"

"Promise not to tell? Plagg will be so mad if he finds out I told you. He was very, very reluctant to even tell me!"

"I promise." Answered Marinette, honestly.

"Ok. Well, basically…last night when we shared our identities, Plagg thought your kwami didn't want to see him because she hid after you de-transformed." Said Adrien.

"Oh…She didn't hide because she didn't want to see him. She was very nervous that night so she hid. She felt terrible afterwards and knew that your kwami would be upset. And I guess she must have been right." Said Marinette, softly.

"Well, let's hope they fix everything up with each other while we're gone." Answered Adrien, glancing back at the door.

"Now for that tour. Follow me my lady." Said Adrien with a grin as he held out his hand. Marinette giggled and took her crushes hand. Then they both walked through the house, holding hands. This was like a dream come true! For both of them.


(With Tikki and Plagg)

They both held a look of shock. Him and Tikki were both going to be awkwardly pretending to be doing something, in the same room together for who knows how long! Plagg felt lightheaded. How could Adrien do this to him! He was not ready for this!

Tikki stared at the door. She couldn't believe they had both left her in the same room with HIM! Not that it was a bad thing to be with him, but she just wasn't prepared to talk to him. Especially after what had happened last night. Tikki glanced at Plagg who looked just as shocked as she did.

She look at his dumbfounded expression and couldn't help but let out giggle. Plagg gave her a confused look as her giggles soon turned into wholehearted laughter. Plagg's look of confusion disappeared and was replaced by a wide smile. He couldn't help it! Her laugh was just too cute!

All of Tikki's worries seemed too melted away as she saw Plagg smile. Smile at her! Her previous worries about being alone with Plagg, vanished, and was replaced by a warm, fuzzy feeling. Gosh, she loved that feeling. She finally stopped her pointless laughing and let her small smile widen slightly. She had never felt so confident around him.
