Marinette P.O.V.
I wake up to the smell of eggs, I shuffle as I open my eyes and see I'm still cuddled up in Adrien's arms. I smile, I'm glad it wasn't a dream. I shake him waking him up, and he smiles as he wakes up and gives me a peck on the forehead.
"'Morning princess" he says, his morning voice is the most fantastic thing I've ever heard.
"Good morning kitty... wait... if you're here... why does it smell like eggs?" I question as I realize that the aroma isn't a part of my drowsy morning state.
I immediately get off the couch and Adrien does the sam, we slowly walk to the kitchen to find Alya cooking eggs and Nino sitting on the table... sh*t.
"They woke up!" Nino announces making Alya turn at a record speed. I can't tell if her face is anger, excitement or evil.
"Aww, the lovebirds woke up!" she says in an extremely fake and sweet voice. She turns off the stove and looks at Nino, they both have a somewhat evil gleam as they start to make towards us, I look at Adrien and he looks at me.
"RUN!" I exclaim and we run out of the kitchen, Nino and Alya following us.
"MARINETTE DUPAIN-CHENG HOW DARE YOU NOT TELL ME!" Alya exclaims as we run around my house. We run through the living room, back into the kitchen, back to the living room, into the guest room, out of the guest room into the living room and I finally trip. Alya immediately tackles me, she can be fast. Nino grabs Adrien by the neck, we are both taken to the living room and are forced to sit on the couch; we glance at each other nervously not knowing what's going to happen.
"Would you care to explain why you were cuddled up on the couch together?! How long has this been happening!" Alya exclaims as she points between us.
"Um..." is all we say.
"Not cool dude and dudette, we need the dets" Nino says backing up Alya.
"It just kind of... happened" Adrien says. We haven't exactly sorted out a lie. We can't just be like, "oh well, we found out we are Paris's heroes and after going through so much we were finally able to reciprocate our feelings".
"So you're telling me it just happened..." Alya said with an eyebrow raised.
"Y-yeah, we were at the party, and things happened" I say, as we glance at each other. Trying to sustain a lie without planning it ahead of time is hard.
"We kind of guessed up to there, you guys were at the party where Ladybug showed up and then decided to spend the next day together and suddenly this happens!" Alya exclaims, sparking an idea.
"Y-yeah, I got hurt but Ladybug saved me! And Adrien helped me heal up and we kind of ended up confessing our feelings. Sorry, it happened last night so we didn't get to tell you guys!" I lie, Adrien nods his head vigorously.
"Yep, I had gorilla drive us back here and I helped her, just a few scratches thankfully" he says wrapping his arm around me and giving a nervous smile. Alya's expression softens up and Nino smiles. Suddenly Alya plunges towards me, separating me and Adrien.
"Oh Mari! I'm so happy for you! Wait... are you better? How hurt are you? Did you break anything?" she says panicking as she inspects me all over.
"I'm okay now, Adrien helped me" I say with a giggle, it's not a complete lie.
"Wait!" she says as she stands up and walks over to Nino, extending her hand.
"My OTP came true, therefore you lose! You said it wouldn't happen for another two months!" Alya says as her boyfriend hands her some money.
"You win this one," he says as she gives him a smug smile.
"So... how long have you liked Marinette Mr. Agreste?" questions Alya as she inches closer, Nino inching closer as well. I'm a little curious myself.
"W-well, for quite some while, it just took me a long time to realize it. I always felt jealous when she was around other guys and I really like how clumsy she is and her eyes are just so beautiful. She is a great fashion designer and I love watching her work, even before I realized I liked her I always watched her unconsciously" Adrien says, his face turns a red shade as he rubs his neck with his hand.
My face warms up instantly, I look away trying to hide my blush. I can't believe Adrien thinks such nice things and actually likes me.
"Aww, you both are so cute! Blushing like that!" Alya exclaims as she watches us both.
"So what are we going to do today?" I ask as we all sit in my living room. I changed into a black cardigan/sweater, a maroon skirt and black tights under with maroon flats and my hair is pulled into a messy bun. Adrien changed into some black jeans and a plain grey v-neck, he has on grey vans and his hair is slightly messy but he looks very attractive.
"I was thinking we could exchange gifts!" Alya says as she grabs for her backpack.
"Okay, sure! Let me go get your guys's gifts" I say
"Me too!" Adrien says and we both rush to my room and return into the living room with a small stack of gifts.
"Me first! Nino you can open yours first" Alya says as she hands us each a present. We watch as Nino unwraps his gift, it's a new set of deluxe earphones quite pricey ones as well), they are blue and orange and have a single gold stripe across.
"Babe!" he exclaims as he pulls her into a very tight hug, they have a cute moment as they hug and kiss and Adrien snaps pictures of them as we quietly fangirl. Finally they stop and Alya tells Adrien to open his gift, he unwraps his gift to find a book.
"Thank you Alya!" he says, clearly happy. I look closer and see that it isn't a normal book, it's a scrapbook of us four; we are Adrien's first real friends so this must mean a lot to him. He flips through some pages and I realize half of the pics are of me and him, which make me blush but he just hugs the book.
"Your turn girl" she says as she points at the box shaped gift in my hand, I unwrap it to see a box, inside the box is a pastel pink lamp. I smile at Alya.
"Thank you so much" I say as I give her a hug, she knows I work on my designs late at night and my lamps just broke.
"I'll go next" Nino says as he hands us our gifts, Alya opens her gift first. She unwraps it to find a new camera! It's very nice, it's a shiny red color (also rather pricey). She hugs Nino and kisses him over and over again while me and Adrien fangirl. Next I open my gift, it's a new sketchbook with a nice ladybug cover. Adrien gets a new video game controller.
"Okay, my turn" I say, I hand each of them their gifts and Alya decides to open hers first. It's a ladybug dress, she hugs me tight as she thanks me for the dress with a matching purse. Nino opens his to reveal a blue and orange colored sweater, we fist bump as he says thank you. I blush as Adrien finally opens his present, it's a ladybug beanie and scarf as well as a new copy of a video game he likes. I blush a deep red as Nino and Alya "aww".
"T-Thank you so much Mari" he says as he pulls me into a hug, he's warm and I can smell his cologne. I melt into his arms and he gives me a small peck on the forehead before we continue the gift giving. He hands Alya and Nino a gift and I'm surprised as he hands me a gift... he already gave me my necklace.
Alya opens her gift to reveal the "official" ladybug fact book that sold out before she could land her hands on, it takes Alya a while to stop fangirling but I record it all, Nino opens his to reveal a limited edition vinyl that Nino had been wanting for quite a while, his reaction is pure gold.
I unwrap mine to see black cat plush, it's cute and I love it! It will definitely remind me of Adrien all the time and I can hug it if I ever miss him, I hug Adrien and give him a peck on the cheek.
"What do you bros wanna do now?" Nino asks as we put away our gifts.
"How about we go to the Winter festival?" Alya says a big smile appearing on her face.
"Winter festival?" I ask, it sounds familiar but I can't recall.
"Yep! It's basically like a fair, they have food stands, a pet petting zoo, games and rides!" Alya exclaims, it sounds like fun.
"That sounds great!" Adrien says, Nino gives him a fist bump indicating he agrees.
"Does that mean we can go?!" Alya asks happily as she looks at me.
"Sounds fun" is all I say. Me and Alya grab our bags (she uses the Ladybug one I gave her), and put on our coats and sweaters, me and Andrien sneak Plagg and Tikki into my purse. We walk outside and decide to grab the train to get there faster, a train ride later and we're outside of a fenced area, a big banner with pastel blue letter reads 'WINTER FESTIVAL'.
People of all ages and sizes dressed in winter coats walk in, there are couples, groups of teens, families all entering and exiting excitedly. We walk in and see kids running around, people sitting on tables enjoying hot chocolate or candied apples, couples walking around hand in hand as they go to the ferris wheel, there's a short line of people in front of the ticket booth, there are stands with prizes on them, small rides can be seen from where we stand, the ferris wheel and rollercoaster are the most obvious ones. Fairy lights and snowflakes placed nicely everywhere, as well as some sort of fluff around things to resemble snow, it's very pretty.
"It's so pretty! What should we do first?" Alya asks. If there's something Alya loves, it's amusement parks, fairs and festivals. She loves the thrill of all the rides and winning the games, and she has no restrain when it comes to buying the food or pretty souvenirs they sell.
"Tickets?" I say, without them there we can't ride anything or play any games. We walk up to the booth and each of us get tickets, Alya non-stop talks about what we should do first.
"Calm down Alya," I tell her slightly giggling at my best friend.
"Yeah babe, how about we get on rides first, then games and then food and all that other stuff" Nino suggests, Alya nods happily.
"She really likes these places, huh" Adrien says to me as Alya and Nino walk ahead of us.
"Yep," I say with a giggle.
"Well, I like any place where you are" Adrien says making me blush his sly smile plastered on his face.
"Your Chat is showing" I say as I poke his nose. We walk and Alya decides we should go on the rollercoaster, I look at it uneasy as I see all the twists and turns but agree. I'm Ladybug, how bad can this ride be? I sit next to Adrien on the ride while Alya and Nino sit together in front of us.
"Please keep all hands and feet inside of the ride at all times, make sure all personal belonging are put in the nets placed in the feet area, we are not held responsible for any broken or lost items placed outside of the net, enjoy your ride" a voice says.
The ride starts slowly, we start to ascend slowly and then stop at the very top, I glance slightly down and shut my eyes tightly as I feel us descend fastly. I hear Alya scream and laugh as well as everyone on the ride. I can't muster any sound, I can't even open my eyes, I feel a hand on mine and I open one eye. It's Adrien who smiles at me comforting, I relax and start enjoying the ride with him. We laugh and cream as we twist and turn, he never lets go of my hand and I actually enjoy the ride.
We finally get off, Alya is smiling widely while Nino holds her hand and smiles at his girlfriend.
"He's got it bad" I say.
"That's what I said!" Adrien says as he looks at me with his emerald eyes. "I think I've got it bad too" he mutters as his face becomes a crimson shade. I giggle at my boyfriend and we follow Alya and Nino. Next up we are riding the tilt-a-whirl! My personal favorite ride.
"Tilt-a-whirl!" I say as me and Alya run to the ride to get in line.
"Tilt a what?" Adrien asks as he gets in line with us.
"Basically we sit in one of the oval cars, we turn on this steer type thing that makes your cart turn faster! And the platform also rotates so the steer is just to make it faster" I try to explain.
"Sounds like fun" he says, he sounds a bit uncertain. I grab his hand and smile.
"It's my favorite!" I say. We get on the ride and me and Alya are excited as can be. We spin the steer fastly and receive help from the guys, we laugh like crazy all throughout the ride and when it finally start we're all slightly dizzy and can't stop laughing.
We go on a couple more rides, deciding to not ride the ferris wheel until before we leaveand now it's game time! First we try the bean bag toss and Nino manages to win a hat which she puts on Alya. We then play the balloon dart, and I win a flower crown that I make Adrien wear, he looks cute as ever and to make. We move on to whack a mole and Alya wins a stuffed bear which she gives to Nino, I don't think I had ever seen him blush this much. We play a couple more games, and finally decide to do one last game before we get something to eat. We decide to do the ladder climb, the first one to fail is Nino, followed by me, followed by Alya, we watch as Adrien continues climbing and he rings the bell! He wins a huge stuffed unicorn and he looks very proud of himself.
"That was awesome bro!" Nino says as they high five.
"Got to hand it to you, that was sick" Alya says.
"I thought for sure you were going to fall" I tease, but all the same I give him a peck on the cheek.
"For you M'lady" he says as he hands me the stuffed unicorn, I blush and accept the gift which is half my size.
"Time to get food!" Nino says, we walk towards the food stands which all release wonderful aromas. I decide to get corn on the cob, Alya gets a hotdog, Adrien a corndog and Nino a bucket of fries. We sit and eat and talk about all of the awesome games and rides, we walk around and notice it's almost sunset.
"Lets go on the ferris wheel so we can go home" Alya says, we nod and agree.
"The ferris wheel is the most romantic thing ever" Alya whispers to me as we walk ahead of the boys.
"I've never understood why" I confess to her as we get in line.
"You'll realize that once you're on" she whispers, we wait in line and Alya and Nino get on first, we wink at each other as she gets in. I wait in line with Adrien and finally we get on. Time to see what's so romantic about the ferris wheel.
A/N: Sorry it's not very good! I wish these could be better and longer but I barely even have time! I get so little sleep and free time but I promise I'll try to write more! This is just a bit more fluff, we might get some more action next chapter! And we are pretty close to the end of this fanfiction sadly! But another one is bubbling inside of my mind so that will be coming soon after.
As always thank you guys for following, favoriting and reviewing! Your reviews always make it worth while! 'Till next chapter.
