School starts very soon for me. Updates will probably be much slower.

Thank you Pawpatrol4life and Blondie for reviewing!

Does Adrien have a weird stinky cheese fetish?

Wait...that sounds familiar. Where have I heard "stinky cheese"?

Then Marinette's mind registered the fact that she had just crashed into Adrien Agreste.

Adrien Agreste, the love of her life.

Turning beet red, she looked up at said boy, managing to squeak: "S-sorry! I'm clumsy! Didn't mean to!"

Adrien smiled at her. "It's okay, Marinette."

She awkwardly stood up and brushed herself off, forgetting about the words she was supposed to say after Adrien catched her, all because of the stinky cheese she had smelled.

Marinette walked back to the girls. Rose and Juleka had just come back from distracting Chloe, the former excited to see what Marinette had said to Adrien, as she had not had the chance when dealing with Chloe.

"So! How did it go? Tell me everything!"

Alya turned to look at Rose. "All that happened was Marinette crashing into Adrien, like we planned, but she didn't ask him about the movie."

"Sorry! I just forgot!" Marinette said, not saying a word about the cheese smell. She didn't want to embarrass Adrien.

Alya gave her a reassuring smile. "It's okay, girl. Maybe we can try another time."

The bell rang, and the girls all went to class.

All throughout school, Marinette couldn't stop thinking about the stinky cheese she had smelled. Cheese wasn't exactly in the strict model diet she knew Adrien had to eat. Maybe he just really liked it and ate it when his father couldn't see. But that didn't seem right. He didn't didobey his father often. She had never seen him actually eating cheese, and Alya nor Nino had ever mentioned it before. Marinette mulled over possibilities, hardly paying attention in class at all.

Now back at home, Marinette asked Tikki, "What do you think?"

Tikki shrugged. "I don't know. Maybe he just really likes it."

Was she imagining it, or did her kwami seem kinda nervous? Marinette shook her head and pushed the thought aside. "I don't know. He's never mentioned it before. I don't think we have ever seen him eating it."

"He might be embarrassed."

Marinette frowned. "I guess. But when and where have I heard 'stinky cheese'?"

Tikki shifted around. "Don't overthink it, Marinette. It might not be that big of a deal."

She sighed. "Maybe you're right."

Marinette couldn't sleep. She was still thinking about the whole cheese thing. She should have brushed it off. Everybody had their weird quirks, even Adrien. But it stuck out to her. Something about it just didn't seem right. She was missing something; she could feel it.

But what, she didn't know.

And where had she heard "stinky cheese"?

Then it clicked. A conversation she had with Tikki a few days ago. After an akuma attack, she had been complaining about all of Cat Noir's puns. Her kwami had commented that he enjoyed it like his kwami, Plagg, enjoyed eating stinky cheese.

But it had nothing to do with Adrien. The only similarities between Adrien and Cat Noir were their blond hair and green eyes.

And they both had stinky cheese on them.

And she had never seen the two at the same place at the same time.

Wait... could Adrien be...

Marinette shook the thought out of her head. It was impossible. The chances of it being him were microscopic.

It's not him. Marinette told her brain firmly. Lots of boys in Paris have blond hair and green eyes. And, for all I know, the miraculous changes his eye color. It's not him. Now, let's go to sleep and forget all this.

Easier said then done.

By three in the morning, Marintte had assured herself that it couldn't possibly be him, and that it was all a coincidence. And, finally, she was able to sleep.

But not as much as she would have liked. She was late to school the next morning, and spent the first few hours half-asleep.

If only she knew what was coming next.

MWAHAHAHA!

Again, updates will be a lot slower. School starts tomorrow for me.
