My friends and I had to be so extra and send each other prompt requests with the prompt, the names, an element (became damn difficult with this), an AU and angsty/lighthearted.
This one is the cutest thing I've ever written in my life, no joke. Fluff!

"I can't do this wifout you!"
Adrien pouted.
"But I wanna go out and pway!"
Marinette came to her feet and stomped on the floor, her pigtails bobbing up and down.
"But you gotta hewp me!"
Adrien pulled his shoulders up and pouted more intensely, growling lightly.
"But. I wanna. Pway. Oufide!", he said in a stubborn voice. Marinette crossed her arms and stared at him, tears already welling up in her eyes. Her chin scrunched up and she pointed to the floor where the unfinished puzzle laid.
"And I. Wanna. Finish. This!"
They both didn't move a millimeter until someone placed a hand on Adrien's shoulder. It was Alya, their child care worker.
"Adrien, Marinette, it's not nice to yell at each other."
Marinette fell to her knees and stared at the puzzle in despair.
"He stawted! And I wanna finish this puwwle. I can't do this wifout him!"
"I wanna go oufide, I wanna pway with the othew boys! Kim got the new ball and I wanna pway with it!"
Alya smirked.
"Then how about I finish this puzzle with Marinette and you go ahead to play with the other boys?", she turned to face Marinette, "Would that be okay, sweetie?"
The child with dark blue hair nodded excitedly since Alya was her favorite child care worker. Adrien already turned and ran to the wardrobes to get his shoes.
"Adrien, please search for Nino to tie your shoes! He's in the turtle group!", she called after him and the little boy shouted back a quick agreeing sound. She heard him scrambling off towards the turtle group and turned back to see Marinette lying on her stomach so she laid down next to her, propping herself up on her elbows, one beside each side of the child so she was kinda hugging her.
"Adwien's a meanie.", the girl suddenly said, holding a piece of the puzzle in her little hand, trying to figure out where it belonged. Alya tapped on the carpet at an empty spot where it fit and Marinette squealed when it did.
"Oh yeah? What makes him a meanie?"
"He nevew wants to do what I wanna do...", she whined while picking up another piece, searching for its place. Alya already wanted to point where it fit but the little child between her elbows softly swatted her hand away, wanting to figure out where it belonged to on her own.
"Well, and you don't always want to do what he wants to do, right?", she smiled as the child beneath her stiffened, knowing she made her think with that. The bluenette slowly placed the piece on the right spot, turning it until it fit.
"But he's awways such a meanie when he says he wants to do somefing else."
"Well, okay, point taken.", Alya shrugged and faintly heard Nino talking to the little boy and then sending him off outside, "But he's your friend, isn't he?"
"Yeah he is... He's my beft friend! But still! He's mean!"
Alya smirked as she tapped on the carpet again since the child looked up to her with another piece in her hand, silently asking her where it fit. Marinette tried but hadn't turned it the right way so it didn't fit. She pouted but Alya gave the piece a little tap on one corner so that the child turned it and pressed it back down. This time it clicked right in.
"Maybe he doesn't think about whether it's mean or not?"
Marinette sniffled slightly, trying to figure out the next to last piece's place.
"Doewn't his Maman tell him about what's mean and what's not?"
Alya's face fell as he leaned down to rest her lips on the back of Marinette's head.
"But Mari, he doesn't have a Maman. She can't tell him what's mean and what's not."
The girl didn't react at first, then she placed the piece on the right spot.
"Ewwybody has a Maman."
Alya shook her head.
"He doesn't have a Maman."
The child picked up the last piece.
"Yeah he does! So whewe is she?"
Alya sighed, watching as Marinette completed the puzzle and snuggled a bit closer to her elbow, leaning her head against it. Marinette had always been the kind of child to snuggle a lot.
"She's up in the sky. She's a star and she shines for Adrien up there."
The child in her arms turned until she laid on her back and looked up to Alya, eyebrows furrowed.
"Like Nana?", she asked, probably meaning her grandmother. Alya knew Marinette's family pretty well and she also knew Tom's mother had passed away last summer. So she nods.
"Like Nana, yes."
The child in her arms slowly nodded and then reached up for Alya to lean down, locking her short arms around her neck and pulling her into a tight hug. Alya hugged her back, pulling her up into a sitting position and taking her into her arms. Marinette then pulled back and played with a strand of Alya's hair, avoiding her eyes.
"Maybe he wants a friend with who he can just have a little fun since his Maman is not around anymore? Not doing what you want but what he wants can be fun, too, you know?", she whispered to the child who still looked down, beginning to braid the little strand of hair with clumsy fingers.
"Yeah... Maywe..."
Alya smirked and rubs over the little girl's back.
"You wanna go outside to play with the other children and Adrien? I heard Kim's got a really cool new ball!", she grinned as Marinette looked up to her, beaming. The child quickly nodded and slid out of her arms, running ahead to the wardrobe to search for her shoes. As she found them she held them up for Alya to take and tie them for her. As soon as that was finished she took off and ran out the door into the garden to play with the other kids. Alya grinned and joined Nino outside on the terrace where he looked over the children, leaning against a wall. She leant on the wall next to him and rested her head on his shoulder, watching Adrien handing the new ball to Marinette after Kim allowed him to.
"Calmed our little feisty down again?", Nino smirked, one of his hands leaving the pockets of his jeans to grab hers and interlace their fingers. Alya giggled.
"Just because you're always hearing Adrien's side of the story doesn't make Marinette feisty!", she retorted, lightly poking him into the side.
"Hey, he's my best bud! I gotta take his side!", he laughed, flinching away from her finger as she tried to poke him a second time. She laughed as well and he leant down to give her a short peck on her lips. Luckily no child had seen that or they'd have the girls swarming around them with big eyes full of stars, babbling about stories of princesses and princes and the boys gagging and scowling at them. Alya looked over the horde of children again and saw Mylène showing her a thumb up, winking. She got everything under control. So Alya lightly pulled on Nino's arm and smirked. He gave her another little kiss and followed her inside.
