Adrienette

"… You deserve better…", he mumbled against her hair as she snuggled closer to him.

With a jolt she sat up, staring down at him.

"Where did that come from now?!", he looked away but her soft hand cupped his cheek, directing his gaze back to her again. Her voice was gentler now, more sensitive, "… Adrien? Where did that come from?"

He sighed and turned his head towards her hand, softly kissing her palm.

"I-… I just think you do… I don't think I'm enough for you so-… You deserve better."

She shook her head, sliding up a bit to be closer to him, her face now hovering above his.

"Adrien, what are you talking about…?", she caressed his cheek and bit her lip, "Please… Talk to me…"

He hugged her tighter, his lips still resting against her palm.

"I-… I just-… I'm not giving you all I can-… I'm not telling you things… And you're just so-… So loving that everytime you talk to me my heart aches and I have trouble breathing because-… Because…", he reached up, now finally meeting her concerned gaze again, "… Because you're-… You're just like this. It's who you are, how you are. And-… I-… I guess I'm not used to this."

She slowly dipped down to softly kiss his cheek, still hesitant since their relationship was still very young. They had just been on a few dates up until now, this was actually merely their fourth.

He sighed and pushed against her embrace before she finally pulled away again, keeping it chaste.

"You're way enough for me. In fact, I'm fearing I might not be enough for you. Since you're so loving yourself."

He chuckled and nuzzled her nose with his, humming while doing so.

"We're living in perfect confusion as to if we're enough for each other?"

Marinette giggled and nodded, her breath stroking his cheek.

"Yeah, we are. Let's just start at zero. We're both enough for each other and more."

He chuckled and wrapped his arms around her waist, entangling their legs. She blushed a little but pushed against him regardless, snuggling closer to his chest. He smiled and pressed a little kiss to her forehead, causing her to quietly squeak.

"And I love you unconditionally."

She stilled and uncertainty immediately washed over his mind. She slowly looked up to him, her rosy lips parted and her blue eyes wide.

"… You okay?", he asked.

"… You-… You just said-…"

He gulped and nodded, already fearing she might stop whatever they had going on. She unbelievingly blinked, obviously surprised, but slowly her gaze turned softer and she pushed herself up again to be closer to him.

"You just said you love me."

"U-Unconda-… Unconadi-… Undi-… Uncondationa-…!", he tried but he was way too caught up with her gaze. His tongue tied a knot in itself and he gulped again, closing his mouth. But she just grinned, nodding.

"You said 'Unconditionally', right?"

He managed a nod, feeling himself growing nervous. What did she think of this? Why was she so close? Would she be mad? Had he said something wrong? Oh god… He had said he loved her.

He said he loved her.

He loved her!

He probably shouldn't have said that on the fourth date, abort, ABO-

"I love you, too.", she finally prompted, a cheeky grin sneaking onto her lips. And before he processed what she had said, her lips were on his. His eyes widened before fluttering close, feeling her hand weaving into his hair.

Yep, he definitely loved her.
