a/n:

not me leaving out one chapter and then contemplating whether i should leave it out but then brings it back in, all just because i have the biggest writers block on the face of the fucking earth along with a sprained wrist ugh- anyways THIS IS THE SECOND TO LAST CHAPTER! (chapter 12 is basically part 2 of the holiday and will DEFINITELY be the starting point of another one of my books… i wont tell tho, you lil beans will just have to wait and find out)

Marinette's POV:

My phone persistently buzzed loudly on my nightstand, I blearily stumbled out of bed after 10 minutes of battling with Adrien, who was practically half dead- to let go of my waist so I could get up. He's honestly such a child I sometimes forget that he's actually a year older than me.

My phone screen flickered on, the white brightness of it almost blinding me. Alya was frantically messaging on the group chat and talking about throwing a huge party since, according to her, I FINALLY was confident enough to stand up to Luka. If Alya had been standing next to me at that moment and said that to my face I would've slapped the shit out of her but then I realised she was right. I had spent WAY too much time procrastinating and just being so stupid and shy, letting Chloe bully me for 4 years of my life, Lila coming along after me and Chloe finally had set our differences apart and became friends, only to make things worse than before.

I sighed while recalling every dumb thing I'd done in my life and went back to lay down, as I wa leaning back I felt something long snake around my neck and gave a slight scream, not realising that Adrien had been sleeping with me last night and of course, was going to wake up next to me (looks like my stupidity runs through the course of my life I guess…)

"Wow, looks like Alya is happy about you being more confident, not gonna lie but you were too much of a shy bitch though" Adrien teased. I grabbed my pillow and hit him in the face

"HEY! Well, that is true to be honest" I said sheepishly, he chuckled and hugged my waist.

"So do you think you're gonna go to Alya's mini party, if I were you I definitely would, I mean it's a party for you Marinette" I shifted around in my bed and thought how my parents would do the same thing, they are slightly insane to be honest.

"Uhm fuck yes, of course I'm going… I mean of course if you don't want me to go because of what happened-"

"No Marinette" Adrien cut me off "What happened was my fault for getting involved, I understand that Luka did hurt you but if anyone should stay home, it's me but I doubt that Alya would be stupid enough to invite him over, even if he is there that shouldn't stop you from enjoying yourself." He grabbed both my hands and squeezed them.

"Look at me M'lady, never let the past stop you from doing things in the future, you shut down Luka and showed him not to mess with you, he's never coming back and it's the same with Lila, she also knows not to mess with you. Remember when she first joined after you and Chloe had finally become friends and thought that she could get Chloe to be your enemy again? Well she was wrong, wasn't she. I know that sometimes it's hard to get over a major event, especially if it had a negative impact on either you or someone you love but I know you Marinette, and I know that you'll push through, be brave and not let anyone stop you- just like Alya said to you the other day, you're unstoppable bub." He let go of my hands to wrap them around my shoulders and neck and stared into my eyes, Adrien opened his mouth to say something but I pulled the collar of his shirt close to me and kissed him, ignoring the fact we both had morning breath and that we should've really washed first but when you're drunk in love and caught in the moment, you lose track of time and in a way dissolve from your surroundings. Not caring what's going on, your full focus on love.

"Ew., we both have morning breath." He laughed and tried to break free from my grasp but I held him tight, we ended up becoming a tangled mess and after five minutes I finally let him go, not realising we had rolled over onto each other and I was now straddling him. We stared at each other with a goofy smile across our faces.

"Hey…"

"Hi" I giggled in reply

"Um… so uh are we gonna stay like this forever or are you going to stop straddling me at 7am" Adrien teased, I blushed a deep red and rolled off him to finally release him. I reached over for my phone and realised just how long we had been making out for. There were over 300 messages from the group chat, 5 missed calls and a dozen messages from Alya herself. I instantly scrolled through the accumulation of messages and apparently the party had been cancelled. I let out a sigh of relief but inside I was a little disappointed, however that disappointment wouldn't last for long since Alya sent one message which I would never dare think of her to send.

alya:

OMG WHAT IF WE ALL HEADED OFF TO HAWAII YALL?

nino:

bruh babe you insane? i mean i understand we're on summer break now but don't you think its gonna be a little expensive?

alya:

nah, with that rich agreste blondie around, chloe and marinette we should be able to cover all the costs dont ya think?

chloe:

ugh yeah fine cesaire, but i'm not paying for the hotel rooms, i know someone who should definitely pick them so we can have two specific people in the same room… iykyk alya ;)

alya:

AAAAH YES CHLOEEEE IM PICKING THE ROOMS

I knew exactly what Alya and Chloe were up to and for once I didn't care about it

marinette:

omfg alya girl lets go! we should definitely head to hawaii since we're finally not minors anymore and that some of us might get a little freaky ;) *ahem alya and nino

alya:

HEY!

nino:

HEY!

marinette:

bruh calm down jfc i was kidding, but come on, you two really need to get up to speed on the freaky shit

adrien:

mhm, i mean me and mari are the least expected couple to already have fucked

I screamed at the message and threw my phone across the room, how the fuck did Adrien send that message when he was in my bathroom and… oh wait never mind he took his phone with him, but still HE AIN'T GOTTA JUST SPILL THE TEA LIKE THAT

marinette:

LMFAO YOU GOOD- you aint gotta expose us like that kitty….

alya:

WHEN DID YOU TWO BECOME SUCH A CUTE FUCKING COUPLE WITH ALL THE PET NAMES AND SHIT

zoe:

um no fr tho- what did i miss

kagami:

i think we skipped a few episodes here yall-

chloe:

bruh when did you two start living in the same house- YALL OUR SHIP IS SAILINGGGG

alya:

AHJSKSJKS YESS FINALLLY

Adrien slowly creaked open the door of the bathroom, a grin spread across his face, he clearly knew EXACTLY what he was up to. I glared and chucked my pillow at him, which he missed by a few millimetres.

"Ok- I don't know what the FUCK that was but you ain't gotta expose our relationship that much"

"Well we were gonna have to tell them someday, and that day was today." He teased and fumbled with the lock of my trap door and ran downstairs before I had an opportunity to throw another pillow at him in anger.

Plagg phased through the floor of my bedroom, Tikki following behind him giggling quietly and I began to wonder what they were actually doing down there, I mean it was unlikely that it was anything romantic considering the fact Plagg hates romance… except with cheese and probably Tikki

I returned to the group chat and it was all settled: tomorrow morning at 5am we would be jetting off to hawaii to live the fucking teenage summer dream!

I ran to my cupboard and immediately began packing, there was no time to waste and luckily the week before I had bought all the brand new summer clothes off of Shein, Pull and Bear, Princess Polly and… I can't even remember since I had been doing WAAAAY too much online shopping but you know in the life of a teenage girl you can never have too many clothes.

After 30 minutes of packing I had finally finished, I then flung open the trap door to meet Adrien eating breakfast downstairs. He had definitely heard about the holiday to Hawaii and was debating going because of the restrictions his father put on him. Now was my turn to reassure him that his father would let him and besides, since he wasn't a minor anymore and was 19 years old, he could make his own decisions for himself and his father's past restrictions could never affect his future life as now he was responsible and was now in full control.

Even if his father REALLY does think that he's in conto=rol of his son when he's an adult and he tries to stop Adrien living his full potential, I will knock a little sense into him and force him to let him be, just like I have done every other time, not regretting it one bit.

I helped Adrien pack his bags which was fairly easy since he had technically moved into my house and had some of his clothes still in duffel bags, conveniently they were all his summer clothes meaning we only had to set them aside next to the front door to make things easy tomorrow morning.

God I was hella excited for this trip, this would definitely be the best holiday of my life, jetting off to Hawaii for a full 6 weeks with my best friends and my boyfriend, life just keeps on getting better.

- the next morning at 4.30 am -

I woke up to find Tikki gently shaking my arm in an attempt to wake me up, I rubbed my eyes and heard her high pitched squeaky voice.

"Marinette this is a really bad idea, what if Hawkmoth strikes and then Paris needs Ladybug but you're all the way across the world in Hawaii?" I reassured her by telling her that I would know if there was an akuma on the loose and besides even if there was, I could easily use the powerups for my miraculous and quickly fly back to paris with Chat to defeat the akuma.

I yawned and patted her tiny head, then stumbled into the bathroom to find a shirtless Adrien leaning over my sink splashing his face with cold water. I placed my ice-cold hand on his back and he gave out a shrill scream which sounded like a little girl. I let out a teasing laugh and he then got a handful of water and chucked it at me, drenching my silk pajamas fully. He stared me up and down, keeping his eyes on my top and then I realised why- that blond brainless boy was smart enough to get my top wet so he could see what he calls my 'perfect curves'. He pulled me in by my neck.

"Who let you be this goddamn hot at 4am princess?" he growled in my ear, sending shivers down my spine.

"I-I don't know, maybe yourself since you splashed water on me." I replied, smirking

"Wrong answer, princess" He cupped my face in his hands and kissed me roughly, pushing me against the bathroom wall, his hands sliding up my shirt to grab my breast, I shivered at his sudden touch and let out a small moan, I pulled away from his kiss to gasp for air.

"We can't do this now kitty." I whispered in his ear

"We'll do this later, when we've landed in Hawaii, trust me, I'm not done with you yet princess" He teased and winked at me, then returned to washing his face, I heard a loud knock from the trap door and then a small squeak from the hinges as Alya entered my room, confused as to why my top was soaking wet and why I was in the bathroom with Adrien.

"Girl- what have you been up to in there with him?"

"Don't even ask about it Alya, it's 4am and I can barely process waking up." I yawned in response to her question.

"Well come on Marinette, the squad is waiting for you and Adrien to get your lazy asses out of your- wait, are you two sharing the same house?" Alya asked excitedly.

"Um yeah, no shit sherlock, why would Adrien be in my bathroom at 4am and why would his clothes be in my cupboard then?" Alya squealed and hugged me.

"EEE MY BEST FRIEND IS FINALLY LIVING THE DREAAAAM" I stared at her wondering if she's on crack or some shit, seriously thought, how does this bitch have THAT much energy in the morning.

"Oh, I got you breakfast, Marinette." Alya tossed a croissant at me and handed me a cup of coffee, which thank god was iced coffee, then grabbed my hand and pulled me out of the house, along with Adrien who was the only one going without breakfast to, as quotes by him, keep his 'model body in shape'. I swear to god he's actually the most prissy model I've ever met.

Outside my house there was Chloe, Zoe, Kagami, Juleka, Rose and Alix all waiting for me along with 3 cars, one for the girls, one for the boys who were inside and definitely not coming out, and another one for the luggage and bags, presumably Chloe had hired them since they were the most swankiest cars out there, shiny white and leather seats.

We hit the road and joked, laughed and cheered our way to the airport to get onto this exotic adventure of our lives. I was definitely right about Alya being high on crack as she pulled out a full bottle of rosé wine and began chugging it.

I grabbed it from her, worried that she'd get hungover before we'd even managed to leave the car- let alone get to the airport, and stuffed it in my shoulder bag. This holiday is definitely going to be interesting and it hasn't even gotten started yet…
