Okay I know that I said that I wouldn't use the lyrics of the songs that I would mention but unlike the last songs that I used this song has a big part in the story so in this chapter I used the lyrics. Also now I know how many chapters this story will be 10 so after this chapter there will be 3 more chapters.
Song - Stuck on you by Ross Lynch.
After doing what he had to do that day Adrien went to his dressing room and he saw Marinette sewing his new outfit. "Hey Marinette, how is the outfit going along?"
Marinette stopped sewing and looked up at him before signing. 'Good, I'm almost done.'
Adrien nodded, sitting on the couch. "I bet it will be amazing as always. You must be excited to be Gabriel Agreste's new intern."
Marinette nodded. 'I have always wanted to meet him. He was always my idol and to become his intern is like a dream come true. Plus I might be able to meet his son Adrien Agreste. I have always been curious about him.'
Adrien raised an eyebrow. "Oh hove come?"
'Besides some people no one has seen him or heard anything from him since his mom passed away. He has not left his house for 10 years and I know from Chloe that until recently he wouldn't talk to anyone.' Marinette signed. 'I don't blame him after all he witnessed his mother dying but he shouldn't stay isolated forever he needs someone to count on.'
Adrien smiled, obviously she didn't know that she was talking to Adrien but Adrien felt a warm feeling inside since the girl he loved seemed to care about both of his sides. This gave him hope that if he ever had the courage to confess to her and to tell her his real identity she would accept him for him and not for his appearance.
"Well he has his father." Adrien stated.
'Yes but sometimes it's hard to talk to a parent especially if the person doesn't know how to. It's easier to talk to someone your own age, ' Marinette signed. 'According to Chloe he started to talk to her again but not as before though he talks to her more than his dad.'
Adrien nodded he didn't think about it that way before. He always thought that he couldn't talk to his dad because they became distant since his mom died but than again the same thing happened to him and Chloe but since becoming Chat Noir he was able to talk to Chloe more so than with his dad.
"So do you plan to be his friend if you meet him?" Adrien asked.
'As long as he's a good person, then yes.' Marinette signed. 'Though there are rumors about him going around.'
Adrien nodded knowing what rumors she was talking about. "Do you believe those rumors?"
'I don't believe in rumors until they are proven.' Marinette signed. 'Plus if he hasn't been seen in years how would people know if he does alcohol, drugs and criminal activities. I won't judge Adrien until I have experience in knowing who he is as a person. Chloe doesn't have anything bad to say about him except that he's anti-social so he shouldn't be that bad.'
Adrien smiled. "I admire the positive view you have in life Mari."
Marinette smiled back. 'I know how it feels to be judged before being known because of my muteness so I always treat people with kindness and respect until I have reason not to. Plus without positively we can't move on with our lives.'
Adrien nodded. "Maybe you're what Adrien needs to find positively in his life."
Marinette looked at him surprised. 'You think?'
"I know so." Adrien replied.
Marinette smiled and blushed slightly before kissing his cheek. 'Thank you Chat you're a great friend.'
Now it was Adrien's turn to blush. "Trust me Marinette you're the friend everyone needs. I'm the one who should thank you for being my friend."
Marinette raised an eyebrow. 'But I don't do anything special.'
"Yes you do, you are kind, helpful, supportive and positive. You're a hidden gem and those who get to be your friends are lucky." Adrien replied. "And wait until you get a boyfriend he'll be the luckiest one."
'I doubt anyone would want to be my boyfriend.' Marinette signed. 'Especially with my muteness.'
"Any guy would be stupid to not want to be your boyfriend." Adrien replied. "Do you like someone?..."
Marinette blushed and nodded. 'Yes I do but I doubt that he likes me back I'm way out of his league.'
Adrien felt like his heart was stabbed with a knife. "Than he doesn't deserve you if he can't see the special girl that you are."
'...Maybe you're right.' Marinette signed. 'How about the girl you like does she know that you like her?'
"No and I doubt that she likes me back I'm not special enough for her." Adrien replied.
'Than she doesn't deserve you if she can't see the great guy that you are.' Marinette signed.
Adrien nodded while standing up. "Well it's getting late we should head out soon. Do you want me to take you home?"
Marinette nodded before packing everything she had and standing up before walking out the dressing room with Adrien.
….
On weekdays Marinette would go to school in the day and afterwards go to the studio and while Marinette was at school Adrien would do his lessons than go to the studio and meet up with Marinette but today was going to be different.
Marinette wasn't going to go to the studio right after school she was going to the Agreste mansion to start her internship with Gabriel Agreste and Adrien did his lessons in the studio because he wanted for no reason to bump into Marinette as Adrien.
Just like with Chloe, Adrien didn't want Marinette to find out that he is Chat Noir. Chloe didn't recognize him but she did notice some similarities. Luckily for him but who knows if Marinette reacts the same way.
Adrien knew that if he wanted a chance with her Adrien eventually will have to tell her the truth but he doesn't want her to find out this way plus he wasn't ready to tell her yet.
Adrien went home at the usual time he leaves the studio everyday and in the car ride home Adrien hoped that Marinette wouldn't be there by the time he arrived home since it would be hours after she was supposed to meet up with his dad so they most likely were done with what they were supposed to do that day… right.
Once Adrien walked in his house he took off his hoodie and went to his room and took off his contacts and fixed his hair.
Natalie soon knocked on his door before opening the door. "Adrien dinner is ready."
Adrien nodded and followed Natalie to the dinning room. When they reached the main hall Gabriel's office door opened and Gabriel walked out with Marinette.
Adrien froze slightly seeing Marinette but he quickly recovered to not seem suspicious. Marinette saw him and smiled before taking out her notebook. 'HI I'm Marinette Dupain-Cheng.'
"Hello." Adrien whispered.
"Marinette this is my son Adrien Agreste he rarely speaks and you don't need to use your notebook if you don't want to he understands sign language." Gabriel told Marinette. He understood the position that Adrien was in and he wanted to help him after all he wasn't that heartless.
Marinette nodded and signs. 'It's nice to meet you Adrien.' Marinette extended her hand out for him to shake and Adrien took it shaking it.
"Marinette my driver will take you home." Gabriel told her.
Marinette nodded and signed. 'Thank you Mr. Agreste. Bye Adrien I hope to see you again and hopefully you can learn to warm up to me overtime I understood that it might not be as easy right now.'
Adrien just nodded as Marinette walked out the front door. On the way out Marinette couldn't help but think that Adrien kinda looked like Chat and his hand felt like Chat's too.
…
As the month went by Adrien and Marinette were very busy. Adrien was getting everything ready for his tour while Marinette worked on his designs for him as Chat and worked as Gabriel's intern at the same time.
Marinette was also trying to get close to Adrien as a friend since she understood what he could be going through and she knew that it would be good for him to learn how to open up to people. Marinette could only imagine how terrible it was to lose a parent at a young age and to witness it so she didn't push him but she did make sure to show Adrien that she was someone he could count on.
Adrien did open up to Marinette slightly though not too much to not give her any clues that he was Chat Noir. Now Adrien was friends with Marinette as both Adrien and Chat. Plus without Marinette knowing it she helped him find the courage in him to ask her out at last.
Adrien at first considered asking her as Adrien but that wouldn't make sence because according to Marinette they have only known each other for 3 weeks so he decided to ask her out as Chat and he knew excidly how he was going to do it.
…
It was the day Adrien and everyone else were going to LA to start the tour. The agreement was for everyone who was going to the tour to meet at the studio to make sure everything was ready.
Marinette went to the studio with her friends and once they arrived she looked around for Chat but she couldn't find him. She asked his background band members Luka, his twin sister Juleka, her best friend Rose and their friend Ivan but they haven't seen him. She asked his background dancers but they haven't seen him either. She even asked his choreographer Kagami but she hasn't seen him either.
Marinette couldn't understand it Chat was the main star in the tour he should have been there by now. By the time Marinette was about to give up she heard a guitar playing and when she turned around she saw Chat playing the guitar walking over to her before he started singing.
Ooh... Ooh... Yeah...
Okay maybe I'm shy
But usually I speak my mind
But by your side, I'm tongue tied
Sweaty palms, I turn red
You think I have no confidence
But I do, just not with you
Now... I'm singing all the words I'm scared to say
Yeah...
So forgive me
If I'm doing this all wrong
I'm trying my best in this song to tell you
What can I do?
I'm stuck on you
I'm hoping you feel what I do
Cause I told Mom about you, I told her
What can I do?
I'm stuck on you
And like the night sticks to the moon...
Girl... I'm stuck on you
Ooh... Ooh... Yeah...
Look at me, perfectionist
Yeah I'm a workaholic
But on my phone, I feel at home
I don't like rules
But make my bed
Floss to keep my teeth perfect
Yeah it's true, I got issues
So... I'm singing all the words I'm scared to say
Yeah...
So forgive me.
If I'm doing this all wrong
I'm trying my best in this song to tell you
What can I do?
I'm stuck on you
I'm hoping you feel what I do
Cause I told Mom about you, I told her
What can I do?
I'm stuck on you
And like the night sticks to the moon...
Girl... I'm stuck on you
Ooh... Ooh... Yeah...
I'm stuck on you
By the time Adrien finished the song he was standing in front of a blushing smiling Marinette. "Marinette, since I met you my world has turned upside down. Remember when I mentioned that I liked someone well it's you and for a long time I was holding down my feelings for you especially when I found out that you liked someone but now I can't hide them anymore and I was wondering and hoping If… you would like to be my girlfriend?"
Marinette looked around the room seeing that everyone was staring at her with smiles especially her friends who were giving her encouraging smiles and Alya was even recording the whole thing.
Marinette looked back at Adrien with a huge smile and nodded while signing. 'Yes Chat I would love to be your girlfriend. The guy I liked was you all along.'
Adrien smiled and hugged her as everyone in the room cheered for them. One of his achievements was accomplished. Now he only had one more thing left to feel victorious to tell Marinette who he really was, Adrien Agreste.
