Adrien didn't know whether to count himself lucky. His beautiful female classmate was in his arms, stuck in her panties that looked so cute wrapped around her hips that he felt guilty for admiring them.

Her legs looked so beautiful wrapped in the lacy trim complimented by the bright white color, and was that a bow?

"Oh God, I should not be looking at her like this, I should be protecting this girl at all costs", he thought to himself, looking up at

It took her a good minute to realize she no longer had shorts on. Her shorts were virtually beyond repair, torn to shreds.

"Thanks for the save-" she said, still holding on tight to him. "-Adrien"

"H-huh? Oh yes! You're very beau- welcome! You're very welcome". He could barely contain himself because of how close Marinette was to him. Both of them were evidently blushing very hard.

"I must have tripped, I'm so clumsy! You know me" she giggled.

"No, no it's alright" his voice cracked, hoping to God there was a way out of this before it burst.

Her face turned to a frown before asking "Adrien. Be honest with me"

'Oh here it comes' he thought.

"I'm in my underwear, aren't I?" She asked shakily.

"Yea.."

"Please tell me you didn't see anything"

"Sorry…"

Her voice turned a little panicked as she asked "But not a lot, right?"

"I'm sorry, I did! I shouldn't have looked" he confessed, matching her panicked tone.

"No, no I'm sorry! I promise you I didn't plan this!"

"Trust me, there was no way I'd believe you'd plan something like this!" he tried to assure her "this was just a terrible, horrible, accident!"

"Adrien, please tell me it's just us here" she begged, before realizing how that sounded. "NOT THAT I WANTED YOU TO SEE EITHER, I SWEAR!!"

Realizing she was still messing up, she continued to ramble on as tears started to form, "Not that I'm mad at you or anything, you just happened to be here and I'm still VERY THANKFUL you were here to catch me, I'm just mad this situation happened and now you saw too much of me, and that's ABSOLUTELY MY FAULT, but I promise you it was an accident, my shorts ripped by accident because I wasn't being careful, and I'm so glad it was you who found me, NOT THAT I WANTED YOU TO SEE, but because you're one of the only people I can trust not to laugh or take pic-"

"Marinette, calm down," he said, holding her shoulders to reassure her, "it's just us, the building is clear. And thanks for trusting me?"

"O-of course" she choked out, "this isn't quite how I visualized my day ending. You know, in my underwear" she giggled shakily.

His eyes drifted slightly down to her panties which looked just as delicious as before. She put her hand over her panties to give herself some modesty.

"SORRY!!" They both exclaimed at the same time.

"No it's my fault, I should have tried covering myself, I was the one who brought it up", she interrupted.

"No, it's mine! I know I shouldn't have looked! You don't deserve to get oogled at while! NOT THAT YOU'RE NOT PRETTY ENOUGH, you definitely are, but you deserve your privacy. I'm the one being a pervert, because I think you look pretty, IN GENERAL I MEAN, NOT WHEN YOU'RE IN YOUR UNDERWEAR, I MEAN YOU STILL LOOK PRETTY NOW BUT NOT BECAUSE YOU'RE IN YOUR UNDERWEAR, THEY JUST LOOKED PRETTY ON YOU, and I am making this worse, I am so sorry!"

"Adrien?"

"Yes?"

"You're still looking"

"Sorry!!" he said, trying to keep eye contact.

"It's okay! We're both at fault-"

'oh my God this innocent girl is blaming herself because I'm being a pervert. I don't care if she hates me, I have to nip this in the bud' he thought, before blurting out "No, it is not! I'm the one without any self control, you deserve so much better than me! All I'm doing is starring at your cute underwear when I should be covering you up but I don't have anything for that, and I'm sorry"

"But-"

"Please don't say butt, I can't concentrate! I mean it's NOT YOUR FAULT that your SHORTS RIPPED-"

"I wasn't being careful!"

"That doesn't mean you deserve to be ogled at! Your underwear is supposed to be private!"

"Well to be fair, I've already seen yours, and you didn't even have a sh-"

Marinette covered her mouth with both hands. Big mistake.

They both looked down at her panties again, despite just having a conversation about how bad it was.

After a few seconds, they simultaneously looked at each other, before Marinette put her hands over her underwear again.

"Wait, you saw that photoshoot?" He asked.

"Sorry!! I swear I wasn't doing anything inappropriate!"

He immediately imagine Marinette's hands under her panties waistband-

'No stop thinking of that!' he thought.

"That's completely different, Marinette!"

"Okay, well could you do me a favor?"

"Yes, anything!"

"Could you watch for anyone coming this way while I get my shorts!"

'HOW ARE YOU NOT MAD AT ME!!' He screamed internally. This was not how anime usually went.

"S-sure" he choked out, turning away, vigilant of anyone coming their way.

'Okay what the hell was that, girl! Why did you disagree with him! He was 100% right, no normal girl would not be mad! God he was so cute apologizing, get it together girl!' she thought to herself, as she bent down to pick up her tattered shorts

Against his better judgement, he turned around to see her bending down.

'Holy crap her butt' his mind could barely comprehend what he was seeing. It was taking every ounce of willpower not to grab her panty-clad butt.

And then he saw how her lower butt cheeks hung out of her panties, aaaand BACK TO BUSINESS.

'Don't try it again, Agreste' he thought to himself.

'You are just going to make sure Marinette makes it safely home, make sure no one sees that adorable ribbon on her panties, you are going to apologize to her for staring at her adorable panties, and when you get home, you are going to take a cold shower and NOT going to think about her firm, juicy peach of an ass in her adorable panties, WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS?', he screamed to himself

As he started to hear crying behind him, his attention returned to her.

She was wiping her tears with both her hands, leaving her panties exposed again when he walked up to her. She looked up at him, "they're ruined, Adrien! How am I supposed to get home?"

"Hey it's alright, I go-"

"It's not alright! Everyone is going to see my dumb underwear and they're going to laugh at me! I'll have to change schools and I'll never see my friends again"

"I was going to say you can put them on"

"How?" She asked, holding up the two pieces of her shorts up. "they ripped in half!"

"Just trust me. Put them on, one leg at a time."

So she did as she was told, putting one leg into one side of her shorts, and then the other, holding them up to her waist.

"Okay, how am I supposed to go home like this?"

"Here, take this" he said, as he unbuckled his belt. As the buckle was undone, his shorts responded by sagging down just a few inches. Not much, but enough for the girl to recognize the Agreste' brand logo on his grey boxer briefs.

"W-what are you doing!" She said as she instinctively tried to stop him, by grabbing his belt.

She unfortunately misses the belt, instead accidentally latching on to his shorts…

…and pulling them all the way down as she fell with them.

Her eyes were glued shut to brace for an impact that never came. She felt Adrien's arms catch her an inch before impact.

'okay Marinette. Look at the bright side. You're both in your underwear now' she thought.

"Whatever you do, don't look up" he said.

'oh no', she thought.

Her eyes were currently looking at her hand, which was currently holding his shorts wrapped around his ankles.

"Oh shit", she said out loud, as she saw his grey boxer briefs ALSO currently wrapped around his ankles.

She dared not look up…
