You guys, are seriously amazing. Thank you for all the positive reviews, and feedback! And guest... BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, AHAHAHAHAHAHAA, whew, *wipes away tears* child, I write everything before hand in google docs, and this story has filled over seventy pages. Considering I'm almost done as well, I won't be leaving this story for a while. :D

"Dude, I don't think I've ever seen someone as sickeningly in love as you." Nino commented as Adrien pulled another sappy smile onto his face and stared off into space.

"I don't know," said Adrien, skeptical. "I've seen the looks you make when you're thinking about Alya." He laughed as his friend took on a furious blush.

"Sh-shut up!" he shouted weakly.

Alya was one of the tavern maids but she was not one to be trifled with. Alya found out about the boys' heroic-slash-criminal activities, and decided to join. The boys refused at first, but immediately changed their minds after witnessing her own skills with a sword.

"So what are you going to do now?" Nino asked. "We both know that you're going to try to see her again, so how do we lure her out?"

Adrien grinned. "Actually we don't have to 'lure her out'. I'm visiting her tonight on her balcony." Nino frowned.

"Bad idea dud. That place is crawling with guards!"

Adrien rolled his eyes. "Don't worry about it. Those guys have been trying to catch me for over a year! And with the help of a certain someone, they won't even notice I'm there."

I really hope so. Nino though.

Marinette wringed her hands nervously. She was outside on her balcony in her nightdress. The balcony had french double-doors behind her leading to her bedroom, and the railing was covered in plants, from a small garden Marinette planted. There was also a soft chaise in the corner for when she was reading or sketching. The night sky was glittering brighter than one of Chloe's diamond necklaces. The town below, usually bustling with people and travelers had retired home. Leaving everything quiet, except for the chirping of a few night time bugs.

She had no idea when Adrien was coming. He just said to meet him out here. She was resolved to stay up all night if she had to, not caring of the consequences in the morning. Another thing she didn't know was how he was getting here. The balcony was 35 feet off the ground, and there were no vines for him to climb up. Perhaps she could tie some blankets together and try to pull him up with the little strength she had?

Her mind wandered back to earlier, after Adrien left. She had shed her royal clothing for a simple tunic and skirt, with a long thick cloak, and went out into the village. She figured that if Adrien had to start stealing, then something must be very wrong.

And it was. As she wandered through the village, she saw guards around every corner, and homeless people almost twice as much. The busy crowds were strangely quiet, and were trying their hardest not to be noticed by anyone. She had even witnessed a mother and daughter being dragged out of their home by two guards in such a cruel way. What hurt, was that she couldn't help. Her cousins had taken everything from her, and if she'd tried to stand up for them, she would just be dragged away back to the palace.

She hated being powerless.

A cold breeze ran past Marinette, making her shiver. The nightgown was thin, and had spaghetti straps, and a low neckline. She hoped Adrien would hurry up.

She gasped as she felt warm fabric draping her bare shoulders. She turned around to see Adrien's smiling face. Her heart started beating rapidly.

"It's a chilly night princess." he said. "You should have been prepared." She looked down, and saw that he had wrapped her favorite quilt around her. Though the look Adrien was giving her made her plenty warm enough.

"I guess I was just excited to see you." she said, shrugging. Then she wrapped her arms around his neck in a hug, dropping the quilt in the process. Adrien wrapped his own arms around her waist. "I've missed you so much Adrien." she whispered. "I was so scared that you'd moved on. That you didn't love me anymore."

Adrien tightened his hold around her. "Marinette. I will always love you. The first few weeks after you left, I... I was a mess really. I couldn't stop thinking about you. I'm sure I was more scared out of the both of us. I was scared that you would forget about me." He pulled away just enough to look into her eyes. "Then when I saw you in the forest, I panicked. I still am. Because I don't want you to be disappointed in the man I've become."

"Adrien." she cupped his cheek. "I'm not disappointed. I'm happy. I'm happy that you're still the kind, giving man I left behind."

"Marinette... I'm a thief, how can you possibly say that?"

"You steal from those who don't need it, and give it to those who do. I've seen what my cousins are doing, and it's awful. You are the one who stands up to them. You give all of those in poverty hope. There is no possible way I could ever be disappointed in that."

To seal her promise, Marinette pulled Adrien down to her lips in a kiss. Something she's been dying to do since he got here.

Adrien responed immediately, putting more pressure on her lips, and pulling her closer. She started running her hands through his hair, wanting to feel every soft strand. Adrien ran his hands up and down her back in slow deliberate movements, sending shivers down her spine. Marinette barely comprehended moving backwards, her mind in a fuzzy haze. She felt her lower back start digging into the railing behind her as Adrien kissed deeper. Not letting up for one moment as he gripped her hips tightly.

They stayed there for what was almost an eternity. Both kissing each other to their heart's content. When they finally pulled away, they were breathless, and blushing. Their hair messy and clothes crumpled, and wanting more.

Adrien swallowed his lust down. "It's getting late." he said, his voice husky. He cleared his throat before continuing. "You should get some sleep." Marinette just nodded, unable to speak. Adrien took her hands, and led her inside. He kissed her forehead. "I love you Princess."

Without another work, he left. Marinette didn't see how. She was still dizzy from their activities to comprehend anything. She plopped onto her bed, and giggled happily in contented bliss. She knew at that moment, she would fight her hardest to stay with him.

No matter the cost.

I LOVE ADRIENETTE SO MUCH! Anyway, please review, and give me feedback on what I can do to become a better author! Stay safe my nuts!
