"Alya I don't think this is a good idea…" Marinette started, staring at herself in the mirror.

"Come on girl, show me already!" Alya called from her room. Marinette sheepishly walked out of her bathroom wearing black jeans and a green shirt that barely went down to the hem of the jeans, flashing some of her toned stomach whenever she moved. Her hair was done up in its normal pigtails, a look to which Alya had been trying to break her of for two years.

"Oh, my goodness girl you are hot!" Alya pumped up her friend. Marinette could only offer a faint blush and a small laugh in return. "The boys just texted, they are outside come on let's go," Alya said.

Marinette barely had time to grab her purse, which held Tikki, before Alya was pulling her down the stairs.

"Bye Mr. and Ms. Dupain-Cheng," Alya called, "I promise I'll bring her back in one piece!"

"Bye! Stay safe and have fun!" Marinette's parents called before the girls rushed out the door.

Once the girls were outside they spotted the black Dodge Charger they knew to be Adrien's car. They clambered into the car but were surprised to see Nino behind the wheel and Adrien in the passenger seat. "Why are you always letting him drive your car?" Alya questioned.

"Hey, do you not like my driving woman?" Nino said, faking offense.

"He likes driving it, I don't mind," Adrien laughed.

"He drives it enough it might as well be his," Alya said causing Nino to fake gasp again, placing his hand over his heart like he was offended.

Marinette stayed silent for the ride, just contentedly smiling as she watched her friends' playful banter back and forth. Once and a while she would catch a glimpse of Adrien that would make her heart swoon all over again. She definitely had gotten better at talking to him and they became good friends but her heart couldn't understand the 'just friends' part.

It didn't take long for the group to arrive at their destination. Nino parked the car and they all hopped out and took in their surroundings. There was a decent size group of people hooping and hollering going inside the building, some of them dressed in glowsticks as the sun was already disappearing.

Marinette had been to parties before but she never really liked the routy ones like this but Nino and Alya did. Nino and Alya started towards the door already chatting about how fun this is going to be, leaving Marinette and Adrien glancing nervously at each other.

"Have you been to one of these before?" Adrien asked.

"Alya dragged me to some smaller ones… this is bigger than the ones I've been to," Marinette replied, gazing nervously at the crowd.

Adrien let out a small sigh before a bout of confidence overtook him, "Well how about you show me how it's done?" He said, giving her his elbow.

Marinette laughed, willing the heat to go away from her cheeks before taking his arm and letting him lead her into the building. Inside the building was crowded and people bumped into people constantly. The lights were starting to give Marinette a headache already. All of a sudden Alya and Nino appeared out of nowhere next to them.

"Hey guys, cool right?" Alya basically screamed. Adrien and Marinette gave an awkward thumbs up. "Good, now alcohol is in the red cups, normal punch is in the blue cups, got it?" Alya yelled again.

"WHAT? No one said this was an underage drinking party?" Adrien yelled, if word got back to his father that he went to this he would never be let out of the house again.

"Chillax Mr. Goody-two-shoes," Nino said, "there are older kids here as well, it's personal responsibility to manage yourself at these events."

Marinette and Adrien were both unsure but the couple had already taken off into the crowd. They stood awkwardly in that corner for a bit before some girls took notice of Adrien and started talking to him. Of course with his politeness, he couldn't just tell them to go away. He mouthed a 'sorry' to her as the girls kept surrounding him.

Marinette sighed before she felt a hand on her shoulder.

"How is a pretty girl like you all alone at a party like this?" A guy said. He was tall and had light brown hair and bright blue eyes.

"Well uh... My friends were here but they took off into the crowd." Marinette said.

"Same here," Said the guy, "Brain by the way," he held out his hand to her.

"Marinette," she said, shaking his hand.

"Well Marinette, care to join me at the punch bar since it seems both of us got ditched by our friends?"

"Sure." They made their way over to the drink table and he handed her a blue cup. "Thanks."

Adrien saw Marinette walk off with the other guy, he didn't know why his chest hurt when he saw him grab her hand to lead her through the crowd. Throughout the night Adrien continued to glance in their direction, watching Marinette laugh and smile as they continued to talk by the drink table.

At one point when Adrien glanced in their direction, he made direct eye-contact with the guy. He swore he saw the guy smirk in his direction before placing his hand on Mari's back, leading her outside. What Adrien found a little weirder was the small stumble Mari had when they began walking outside. He knew she was clumsy but something just wasn't right about it, especially when the guy didn't even acknowledge her stumble, just continued to lead her outside.

Adrien quickly excused himself from the girls and went over to the spot they were just in. He picked up the cup Mari was drinking out of and smelled it. It smelt like liquor. He quickly glanced around before holding the cup up to his shirt, "Plagg does this smell like booze to you, or is my nose wrong?"

"That is definitely the tang of booze," Plagg groaned, "Why did you make me smell it?"

Adrien sighed, "but yet you like camembert..."

Adrien tried to glance around for Alya and Nino but couldn't find them. I guess I'm doing this myself, he thought before heading in the direction Mari did.

Once he was outside he glanced around the small groups of people who were chatting, spotting Mari and the guy at the edge. Marinette was leaning heavily against a post talking with this guy. What he saw next caused him to clench his fists, his inner Chat Noir coming out to protect his princess. He saw the guy turn away from her to the table behind him and grab two drinks, but before he handed one to her Adrien saw him drop something into her cup.

By the time Adrien made it over to them, Mari had already drunk a majority of the cup under this guy's instructions.

"What did you put into her cup?" Adrien demanded.

"I didn't put anything in her cup," the guy smirked.

"I just saw you put something into her cup!" Adrien said sternly, stepping between the guy and Mari.

"Look I don't know what your problem is man but me and Marinette here were just having a good time talking." The guy said, still smirking.

"Don't you give me that BS, I know you have been giving her alcohol I checked the cup she left inside and I just saw you spike her." Adrien was furious.

Adrien turned his attention to Marinette, noticing her dazed look and the way she was swaying on her feet. "Come on Mari," he said, grabbing her arm and starting to lead her away.

Brain swiftly reached out and grabbed her arm causing Adrien to halt.

"No way I'm letting a strange guy like you take this sexy girl away," Brain said.

Adrien never expected to go to this party and end up punching someone but here he was, sending Brian to the ground in a bloody crumble. Adrien watched him fall and shook his hand to try and soothe the pain that now radiated through it. Punching people as Chat Noir hurt a lot less.

He turned back to Mari who stood there swaying in her spot, a new gloss flashed over her eyes. "Mari?" Adrien asked worriedly. She turned her gaze to him, holding it for a second before her knees buckled beneath her. Adrien turned quickly to catch her, picking her up and heading back inside to try and find Nino and Alya.

It took him a few minutes of pushing through the crowd with Marinette in his arms but he finally found Alya and Nino. Alya was the first to notice him, flashing a welcoming look before spotting the limp girl in his arms. She rushed forward to inspect her friend, "What happened to her?"

"Some guy was giving her alcohol and then spiked her drink, I didn't notice till it was too late," Adrien said, hanging his head a little in guilt. They quickly made their way outside and were heading for the car when they saw a group helping someone up.

"I wonder what happened to him," Nino said, noticing the blood on the guy.

"That's the guy who did this to Mari," Adrien said with a glare, "I punched him."

Alya and Nino stood there gaping at him, Alya recovering first. "Good job Agreste!" Alya shoved Nino towards the driver's door and opened the back door for Adrien to climb in with Marinette before climbing in the passenger seat herself.

Adrien tried to wake Marinette from what he hoped was just a drowsy slumber, "Mari, come one wake up." He gently shook her shoulders. He let out a small sigh of relief when she started to blink awake. Her eyes still had a dull glaze to them, signifying her apparently drugged drunkenness but Adrien was not expecting her to say what she did next.

"Hey hot stuff," She slurred. Adrien sat there in shock while Alya and Nino burst out laughing in the front.

Adrien recovered, sticking his tongue out at the people in the front before turning back to Mari, "uh hey Mari," he said awkwardly.

"You're warm," She said, pushing herself closer into him.

"You're super drunk," he replied, glancing at Alya for help, who only laughed and started taking pictures.

"Should we take her to the hospital?" Adrien asked when Marinette became suddenly super interested in the buttons on his shirt.

Alya looked at her friend for a minute before answering, "I don't think so, I think she just needs to sleep it off. But she will have a major hangover tomorrow."

They made their way to the hotel and Adrien carried Marinette to their rooms, not trusting her to walk there herself. Adrien waited for Alya to open the door to the room only to find the room only containing one bed and a small couch. Alya yelled good luck and shut the door behind him, taking off to her own room with Nino.

Adrien rolled his eyes, of course, she would do this. He gently put Marinette on the bed and started making a bed for himself on the couch. Adrien got distracted when Marinette suddenly jumped from the bed, rushing into the mini bathroom the room had. Adrien followed her to find her getting sick, he kneeled down next to her and started rubbing comforting circles on her back. Once she was done she leaned back against the wall of the bathtub, Adrien handing her a towel. "Sorry," she mumbled.

"It's ok," he said before getting up and getting her a cup of water, "feel better?"

"A little… This is going to suck in the morning isn't it…" The girl groaned. This caused Adrien to laugh a bit, "Yes. Yes, it is."

Adrien helped the girl stand and lead her back to the bed. He tucked her in and shut off the lights, finally laying down on the couch himself. A few minutes later Marinette spoke, "Adrien?"

"Yes?"

"Would you…"

He knew what she was asking, but should he? Technically she wasn't sober and he didn't want to make her feel like he was taking advantage of her. But it would be more comfortable than the couch…

His body made the decision before his mind did, already moving to join her on the bed.

It wasn't five minutes later when he felt the bed shifting next to him. He thought she may just be shifting to get comfortable but when she kept shifting he spoke up, "Mari, what are you doing?"

"These clothes are uncomfortable," She mumbled before a soft thud was heard.

Did she really just undress in bed? With me? Those thoughts made him suddenly realise the shirt he was wearing was also uncomfortable. He took off his own shirt, he wished he could take off his jeans but he knew that would make for an uncomfortable morning when a non-drunk Mari woke up, undressed, next to him, undressed. She might get the wrong idea. His face felt hot as he thought about it so he quickly shut down his brain and focused on sleeping.

Marinette woke up warm, and with a pounding headache. She tried to cuddle closer to the source of the warmth before her eyes shot open, she was staring at a bare chest. She quickly pushed her arms out in front of her, shoving herself away, and onto the floor. She landed with a squeak.

She looked up when she heard a voice above her on the bed, "Mari! Are you ok?" Adrien said, peering over the bed at her. They stared at each other, taking in the sight of the other undressed.

Adrien quickly caught himself starting and slapped a hand over his eyes yelling a sorry before diving back over the edge of the bed. Marinette felt the cold and glazed down at herself to find only her undergarments remind, leaving her stomach and legs fully exposed. She made another squeak in surprise as her face heated up in a blush. "I-Uh…Um..." She sputtered.

"Your bag is by the door, I won't look," Adrien said. Marinette slowly stood up, ignoring the spinning in her head and the terrible churning in her stomach, and stumbled to get her bag and locked herself in the bathroom.

"Tikki what happened? How did I end up in bed with Adrien UNDRESSED?" Marinette whispered.

"At the party, some guy kept giving you alcohol drinks in the blue cups and I couldn't tell you... I'm sorry Marinette." Tikki frowned.

"No Tikki its not your fault. How did I not notice the taste and smell?..."

"I don't know… He also slipt some kind of pill into the drink." Tikki stated

"I got spiked… good job Marinette," She slapped her forehead, causing the headache to throb harder. "I should get dressed and see if anyone has any Tylenol…"

When Marinette exited the bathroom she saw Adrien already dressed and digging through his bag. Marinette started walking only to have her vision go blurry and her headache to spike, causing her to accidentally stumble into the chair.

"Uhg, what did I do?" She mumbled rubbing her eyes trying to clear them. She felt a hand touch her arm and when she opened her eyes Adrien was next to her holding out two pills and a bottle of water.

"Some dude spiked your drinks at the party…" Adrien said sheepishly, raising his hand to rub the back of his neck.

Marinette gulped down the pills with a quick 'thank you' before she spotted his hand. "What happened to your hand?"

Adrien glanced down to find his knuckles black and blue with a small amount of blood crusted to his skin. Without thinking, Marinette grabbed his hand and started to inspect it.

"I sorta punched the fool who messed with your drink… he had some bad intentions to take you home and tried to stop me from taking you so I broke his nose," Adrien admitted. "And this morning, I didn't uh... Last night you were very out of it and asked me to sleep on the bed, not the couch, and then you said clothes were uncomfortable so you took yours off."

Marinette froze, staring up at him. She was about to mumble something she was sure would come out as nonsense but the snap of a camera stole their attention. They both looked over in shock to see Alya peaking through the door that conjoined their rooms with her phone.

Alya, realizing she was caught, broke out in laughter at the two. "I can't believe you striped and slept with him, girl!"

"ALYA!" Marinette yelled back before wincing at the headache. Her friend only laughed harder which caused Marinette to clench her hands, not realizing she still held Adrien's. She felt him wince and quickly pulled her hand away, "Oh my goodness I'm so sorry," she fretted.

Adrien couldn't answer before Alya was at his side inspecting his hand. "Is that your blood or the douche's?" She asked.

"His," Adrien shrugged, which roused a smirk and a pat on the back from Alya before she strutted back to her and Nino's room, "Don't have too much fun, we leave in 30 minutes."

Marinette and Adrien both looked away from each other blushing, both coming up with an excuse before parting ways to get ready to leave.

The End.


I wrote the first part so long ago and just got to finishing it… Not sure if I like the ending or not, leave a review for an alternate ending and I might get the motivation to write it. I was thinking maybe do a hungover Ladybug getting angry at Chat for stupid puns but still leaves the actual ending pretty open anyway. Thanks hope you enjoyed.
