Note: I know it's been ages and I'm so sorry. haha I randomly got inspired and wrote this. The next chapter will be the end of this fanfic. Thank you all for the likes, follows, favorites, and comments. Thank you again for requesting this story from me. I now have a second youtube channel under the name Quantum Chickpea's Stories where I talk about writing and draw in the background of them. :)
Adrien opened the gym for Marinette and lead her over to the fencing equipment. He passed her a fencing uniform in her size and helped her into it. He got dressed in his own uniform and went to look for a mask in her size.
"Here you go." Adrien smiled and passed her a mask. "Put it over the back of your head and then down onto your face."
Marinette tried to put it on, but was struggling with it. Adrien laughed and helped her put the mask on right.
"Comfortable?" Adrien smirked at her as he grabbed his own mask to slip on his head.
"It's good." Marinette giggled as she bit her bottom lip.
"Let's go." Adrien passed her a rapier and grabbed his own. He showed her how to hold it with her fingers in the right position. "It's called a pistol grip. Alright, let's begin."
He lead her out to the gym area and cleared his throat. "Alright, it always starts with a ready position. If your dominant hand is right then you're going to step with your right foot forward, placing it like this with your back foot out." Adrien stood with his right foot forward, brought his other leg close to that one, and turned his left foot out.
Marinette mirrored him and he touched her thigh to position her leg more in the right place. "Good, okay. Your hands are down. At this time, you're preparing to salute." Adrien continued to talk as he put his hands down by his hips.
"Okay." Marinette put her hands down at her sides and waited for his next instruction.
"Now, extend your sword arm towards me." Adrien raised his rapier and she did the same. "Good, now. Bend your arm at your elbow and raise it to the sky." Adrien bent his arm at his elbow in front of his face and she did the same.
"Now, what?" Marinette watched him through her mask.
"Sweep it down across your body." Adrien did it in a swift motion and she followed the best she could. "Good. Needs a little practice, but it's good."
Marinette giggled and rolled her eyes. "Okay, le maitre."
"What did you just call me?" Adrien was taken back by her words.
"Le maitre." Marinette blushed and Adrien chuckled.
"I like the sound of that. Alright. Now that we've soluted. We're going to go into the en garde position. Ready?"
"Ready, le maire." Marinette smiled at him and watched him laugh at her nickname.
"Okay, that's gonna get distracting." Adrien laughed as he tried to focus. "Okay." He calmed down and took a deep breath, getting back into position. "You're going to step forward with your front foot." He stepped forward with his right foot and she did the same. He bent both of his knees and balanced himself. "Now, bend both knees and focus all of your weight onto your center."
Marinette focused on centering her weight, but kept stiff.
Adrien chuckled and walked up to move her, slightly. "You need to relax. Don't be stiff. Fencing is all about being fluid and relaxed. Loose and limber. Got it?" He positioned her arms and body where they needed to be. "Like…" He touched her hip and back. "That. There we go. Okay." He got back into position, facing her. "Left hand needs to be back behind your shoulders, slightly, so it's not in front of you."
"Why does it go behind you like that?" Marinette was curious as to why she had to stand the way she was with her hand behind her.
"From your head to your feet is a valid target. Your chest is the easiest to hit. So, by keeping your hand back, it makes it harder for the opponent to hit when you reach and extend." Adrien explained it to her, stepping forward and back again.
"Got it." Marinette became determined as he got ready.
"Alright, so step forward two steps and I'll step back two steps." Adrien watched her step forward. "One, two. Good. Alright, now I'm going to step to you. One, and two. Good." Adrien smiled at she backed up from him. "So, that's advancing and retreating."
Marinette nodded as the fencing terms swirled around her head and confused her.
"You okay?" Adrien chuckled as he watched her become slightly confused.
"Yeah, yeah. I'm fine." Marinette giggled and got back into position.
"Okay, so as we do these stances… we try to stab each other." Adrien smiled and stepped towards her and she stepped back. "Good. Alright, now, the back of your mask is open. Within fencing there is a rule that you can not turn your back on your opponent."
"Wait why?" Marinette got out of position to stare at him through the mask with confusion.
"It's dangerous to hit someone in the back of the head or mask. Not a safe move because there is no armor there. So, we don't turn our backs." Adrien explained for her. "Alright, back into en garde position."
Marinette stepped back into position and waited for him.
"Okay, now we're going to do this. Hit my rapier with yours to make an X." Adrien held his rapier out and Marinette touched hers to his. "Good, now swirl it around with your fingers and stab me in the chest. You always want to manipulate your sword with your fingers and not your wrist."
Marinette swirled her rapier by using her fingers and barely poked him in the chest. He hit her rapiers' hilt with the tip of his sword. She flinched at the loud sound.
"I'm just gonna do that when you get a hit, so you know." Adrien laughed at her. "Okay, harder. The rapier should bend. Don't worry about hurting me. I have armor to protect me. You won't hurt me."
Marinette tried again and did it perfectly.
"Perfect." Adrien smiled at her and they went back into position. "Again. Attack. Recover. Disengage, hit, and retreat." With each hit he tapped the hilt of her sword, causing a metal sound to echo out.
Marinette did the moves over and over again until she got it down. "Like that?"
"Purrfect. Alright, let's move on to counter attacks." Adrien continued to teach her fencing moves until she got the gist of them down.
Adrien watched her with admiration. He was surprised with how fast she was getting it down. He pushed his mask up and she did the same. "Ready to actually fence?"
Marinette nodded as she panted, catching her breath. Adrien chuckled and walked up to her. She dropped her rapier to her side as he touched her chin. Adrien slowly bent down and brushed his lips against hers. She got lost in him as he deepened the kiss.
Marinette broke the kiss and shoved him with her gloved hand. "Stop flirting with your opponent and fight her."
Adrien chuckled and shoved his mask back down. He got into en garde position with his rapier out.
Marinette softly laughed and pushed her mask back down, mirroring him.
"Fence!" Adrien walked forward and she walked back.
He attacked and she countered, stabbing him in the chest. He tapped her hilt to signify that she got a hit. "Good. Again."
"Fence!" Adrien called out and Marinette began to walk forward.
"Your whole body is fair game right?" Marinette smirked as she became determined.
"Yeah…?" Adrien raised an eyebrow as he watched her lower her rapier towards his crotch. "Oh shit." He stepped back and she stabbed him in the chest.
Marinette giggled as he tapped her hilt. "Two to zero. Better keep up."
"Only because you played a trick on me." Adrien rolled his eyes and got back into position.
"Okay, don't go easy on me." Marinette challenged him and he smirked.
"Alright." Adrien began to move forward in fast movements, causing Marinette to step back and stumble. She spun around and he smacked his sword against her ass.
"Ow." Marinette giggled and grabbed her ass with her hand.
"Don't turn your back." Adrien smirked through his mask and got back into en garde position.
"Jerk." Marinette laughed harder, picking on him.
"Says the girl that tried to stab me in my bits." Adrien laughed harder and she burst out laughing harder.
"Hey, I have to grab an advantage somewhere here." Marinette poked fun at him and he rolled his eyes.
"Alright, come on. Let's go. Again." Adrien waited for her to mirror him. "It's still two to zero. We'll go to five."
Marinette lunged forward and Adrien blocked and countered, gaining a point. "Ha! Two to one, now."
They kept fencing until it was five to four. "Alright, good job. Now, take off your mask like this and place it underneath your arm and then extend your sword arm." Adrien showed her how to do it and watched her mirror him. "Good. Now. Like the salute. Raise it up to the sky and swipe down across your body. Then switch the mask to your sword arm and walk up to shake the opponent's hand. Now say, good bout."
"Good bout." Marinette shook his hand and Adrien smirked, yanking her towards him. She squealed as he captured her lips and chuckled. He waited for her to part her lips and slipped his tongue past them to run it along hers. She sighed and dropped her rapier and mask. Adrien let his fall to the ground. He picked her up, wrapping her legs around his waist.
Marinette tangled her fingers into his damp hair and he carried her to the locker room. He slammed her against the lockers and she panted as he undid her uniform. He had her out of it within moments. She stumbled to undo his as she passionately moved her lips and tongue against his.
He softly laughed and helped her by removing his uniform within seconds. Marinette blushed as she ran her hands along the hem of his black shirt, pushing it up his torso. Adrien grabbed the back of his shirt and yanked it up and over his head.
"Do you do this with all of your fencing students?" Marinette tried to catch her breath as he kissed along her neck, pushing her shirt up and over her head.
"Only hot ones that stumble a lot and turn their backs to me when I tell them not to." Adrien winked at her and she giggled as he quickly hooked his fingers into the waistband of her pink joggers and shoved them down to her ankles.
Marinette began to push his white pants down, but Adrien was quicker.
He quickly picked her up, moving her panties out of the way. "I didn't finish-" Marinette tried to speak, but Adrien crashed his lips against hers, ignoring her.
Adrien shoved his pants and boxers down enough to enter her. Marinette gasped and tilted her head back as he filled her and stretched her open. "Ah, Adrien." Marinette gasped as he slowly rolled his hips, causing her to rise and fall against the locker.
She gripped his shoulders as she parted her lips for him. "Ah, le maitre."
"God… say it again." Adrien lavished her neck and trailed sultry kisses up to her ear.
"Le maitre?" Marinette moaned softly into his ear as he thrust into her harder.
He kissed up to her lips and bit her bottom lip, tugging lightly on it. Adrien broke the kiss to peer into her heavily lidded blue bell eyes. "God, you're beautiful."
Marinette gasped and moaned as he buried himself deeper within her. She cried out as he reached between them and circled her swollen clit, causing her to fall over the edge.
He smirked and panted as he kissed her harder, focusing on the pressure building up within himself. "I'm gonna- ah." Adrien moaned as he lost concentration on his words.
"Cum for me." Marinette spoke against his lips as she panted.
Adrien burst out and punched his fist against the locker as he thrust into her faster and harder, cumming hard. "Ah, Marinette." He moaned and softly hummed as he came down.
He pulled out and set her down on wobbly legs. She nearly fell and he caught her. "You okay?" He chuckled at her and she nodded, fixing her hair.
"Yeah, I'm good." Marinette giggled and bit her bottom lip as she slowly peered up at him.
Adrien got dressed and passed her her clothes. She got dressed and Adrien took her hand. "How would you like to grab dinner?"
"Sounds amazing." Marinette cuddled his arm as he lead them outside.
"Great. I happen to have made reservations." Adrien smirked at her and her eyes widened at him.
"What? But-" Marinette was lost on his words as he pressed his index finger to her lips.
"Shh… stop. My treat." Adrien winked at her and she helplessly followed him.
They walked down the sidewalk and into a fancy cafe. Adrien gave his name and Marinette followed him to a beautiful terrace. No one else was up there and it was just them. Beautifully decorated tables sat around them and vines wrapped around the black iron work fence. White string lights ran above them in long lines that met in the center.
"What is this?" Marinette peered around her at all of the rose petals on the floor and how roses lined the tables and vines. "Adrien?" Candles sat on each of the tables and added a romantic mood.
He smirked as he pulled her seat out for her. Marinette reluctantly sat down and a waiter brought them champagne. Adrien let the waiter pour them glasses of the bubbly liquid. "Merci." He smiled up at the waiter as they set the bottle back in ice and left.
"What is this?" Marinette blushed as her heart sped up.
"You know that I love you to hell and back. That you are the most amazing woman that I have ever met. That you are the most talented and most endearing person in all of the universe." Adrien smiled at her from across the table and took her left hand in his.
"Adrien?" Marinette watched him as her breathing began to quicken.
"That you are so beautiful as Ladybug and as Marinette. That I would lay my life on the line for you. Take an akuma for you." Adrien stood up and walked around the table with her hand still in his. She watched him drop down to a knee, bringing her hand to his lips.
"I-" Marinette couldn't think of the right words.
"Shh… let me speak." Adrien chuckled and shook his head. "Always so quick to talk."
Marinette giggled and blushed as she waited patiently for him to finish.
"I'm serious about us. No more Luka and no more Kagami. Just us." Adrien pressed his lips against her knuckles. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a red velvet box.
"Adrien." Marinette felt tears come to the corners of her eyes.
"I have been following you for years. From one side of Paris to the other. Literally." Adrien laughed and continued to talk. "I would follow you to the end of the world. I love you and only you. Always have and always will, M'Lady. My Marinette." Adrien pressed his lips against her knuckles, causing tears to fall from her eyes. He opened the box to reveal a platinum ring that had a vintage 1920's band with a round cut pink sapphire center stone. "Please, will you marry me?"
"Yes." Marinette leapt at him and wrapped her arms around his neck. "God, YES!" She giggled and kissed his cheeks, his nose, and his lips.
Adrien chuckled as she lavished him all over with her soft lips. Tears streamed down her cheeks as she stopped to peer into his emerald eyes. "I love you so much!" She cried and he warmly smiled at her.
"I love you too, bug." Adrien ran his thumbs beneath her eyes and took her left hand. "May I?"
"Yes." Marinette burst into tears again and he chuckled as he slipped it onto her left ring finger. It fit perfectly and she held it up to the lights, causing it to catch fire. She cried and hugged him again.
"Stop crying. You're gonna make me cry." Adrien softly laughed as she buried her face into his shoulder.
"I'm sorry. I'm just so happy, right now." Marinette cried into his shoulder.
He sighed and ran his hand through her hair and down her back as he kissed her shoulder. "Me too, Marinette. Me too."
My husband sent me this song while I was writing, so I wrote to it:
