"A-Adrien?" Marinette asked, her eyes wide in shock. Adrien just left out a half hearted chuckle as he sat up in bed, running a hand through his hair. "A-Adrien?" She asked again, her eyes never leaving his form.

"I hope... This isn't to shocking for you Marinette..." Adrien said, turning his gaze off the girl from before him. Everything seemed to be more interesting then the shocked girls face right now. "I couldn't... I couldn't stand you not knowing." He said as he turned back to her, his eyes filling with tears. "I couldn't sit back anymore and just string you along Mari. When I found out you were ladybug it was like my world lit up like Christmas night!" He said as he brought a hand to his chest. Holding it he gave her a determined look. "It was as if everything clicked into place and it was an amazing feeling! But, when you got hurt... I thought I was losing you. I was losing Marinette, I was losing Ladybug. I almost lost both of you before, I won't lose you again!" He said, dropping his gaze down to the bed.

"But if you hate me-"

"I can't." Marinette stated, cutting him off. Sitting up in her bed she moved, wrapping her arms around his waist as she hugged him, pressing her face against his stomach. Adrien felt tears fall from his eyes as he brought a hand down to her head, softly petting her silky locks. "I can never hate you Adrien... Because I love you and Chat..." Marinette said softly. Even if she said it in such a low tone Adrien could hear every word.

"And I fell in love with Ladybug and you Marinette." Adrien said as he brought his hands down, softly taking her cheeks into his hands. Lifting her head he moved closer, his lips just above hers. "I love both of you." he whispered.

"I love both of you too." she whispered back, closing her eyes as their lips ever so slightly touched.

"MARINETTE!" A voice called from her doorway. Adrien jumped like a cat, his arms wiggling as he started to fall backwards off her bed. Marinette yelped as she grabbed onto his side trying to hold him up, but when he fell she went with him. The two hit the floor with a bang, leaving Adrien below her, his eyes spinning at the sudden hit he took. Marinette sat up, face a dark red as she shook Adrien.

"Adrien!" She screeched as she shook him more, trying to get him to respond. Her bedroom door opened and she whipped her head around to see Alya and Nino standing in her doorway. They both gave them blank faces as they watched Marinette stare at them in horror, sitting on Adrien's hips as he laid on the ground dazed.

"Mari... What was he doing to you..." Alya asked darkly. She gave the two a dirty look, thinking Adrien was taking advantage of her best friends state.

"Adrien, not cool man..." Nino said, shaking his head in disgust. Adrien left out a pain moan as he closed his eyes, trying to get the room to stop spinning.

"It's not what it looks like!" Marinette called out as she put her hands in the air. "I mean it is but it isn't! Adrien just spent the night is all! It's not like we did anything funny! We were just watching a movie and I fell asleep. He tried to put me to bed but I kept holding onto him and I just... I just..." Marinette's cheeks burned darkly at her words, she didn't make this sound any better.

"Uh huh." Alya said as she climbed into the room. Walking over she helped Marinette to her feet before looking down at Adrien with a raised eyebrow. He slowly opened his eyes and gave her an awkward smile before sitting up, rubbing the back of his head.

"It's just as she said. No funny business. I just..." His voice trilled off as he thought over his next words carefully. "I was just helping her out. She clung to me and I couldn't wake her up so I stayed with her. Why would I risk father finding out if I was able to escape." He stated. The two shared a look before nodding in agreement. They know how Adrien's father can get, so his story checked out with them.

"Still man, you shouldn't be in a girl's bed." Nino stated as he crossed his arms. Adrien just laughed half heartily at his friends comment.

"I know I shouldn't have, but... Please don't tell my father." He said as he placed his hands together in a prying way. The two shared another glance before both looked to Marinette who was also begging for them not to say a word. Leaving out sighs they shared a nod.

"Alright, alright. We'll cover for you this time. However, the next time I find you in her bed and you're not dating? I will hurt you." Alya smiled a little to happily. Adrien nodded, just happy his life was spared for the time being. Standing up he sighed, smoothing out his clothes as Marinette slowly walked over to him, ever so slightly touching his arm.

"Adrien?" She asked softly, slowly lifting her gaze up to him. Adrien's heart skipped in his chest at that look. How many times had he wanted Ladybug to look at him like that? how many times did he pray for her to look up to him with such an adorable look, speaking his name every so softly. This was like a dream that he didn't want to wake up from.

"Yes?" Adrien choked out as he turned his gaze down to her. Her cheeks burned lightly but she moved hugging him, laying her head on his chest. The other wanted to melt then and there but he softly hugged her back, a proud look sitting on his face.

"Real cute guys. Real cute." Alya said as she put her hands on her hips, leaning forward with a smirk on her face. "Anyways, we were coming here to ask if you wanted to double date but I guess you already had one." she went on. Marinette and Adrien slowly turned their gazes to the other two, as they chuckled at the mushy couple.

"We would love to." Adrien smiled at them. The other two raised their eyebrows but shrugged agreeing with his choice.

"Cool, so let's let the girls get ready and we'll meet them at the movies in fifteen minutes." Nino said as he walked over taking his friends arm and tugging him lightly. Alya smiled as she did the same with Mari, tugging at her arm softly so they would part. Marinette slowly left Adrien go and turned to her friend, face burning a dark red.

"You were right." She said as she pushed at the ground with her toes.

"Come on dude." Nino smirked as he walked with Adrien. Adrien gave a small wave to Marinette and she waved back to him before he was dragged down the steps by Nino. As soon as the door closed Alya went to work on asking what she wanted to know, without hesitation.

"Sooooo what was that! Why were you with Adrien? In your bed may I add? Mari, you dirty girl." She snickered with a bright smile on her face. Marinette stared at her in horror before waving her hands in the air.

"No! It's not like that! It's as I said! The most he did was kiss me!" She called out in embarrassment. Alya seemed amused by those words and smirked at her friend, leaving out a small 'oh?' in response. "It's true..." Marinette stated. Alya hummed happily as she pulled her friend with her.

"So I'm assuming you remember some things?" She asked as she sat her down in her desk chair, moving to brush out Marinette's messy locks.

"Yeah... I remember you, the class, Adrien... How he held the umbrella out for me." Marinette blushed. "I remember Chat Noir and the Akuma's! I remember most of it but a lot is still foggy." Mari said as she thought back. Alya nodded her head, being careful of the back of Marinette's head as she brushed. "When I ran into him yesterday I admitted what I remembered... You always told me to go for it so I did... Actually... I only admitted it cause he kissed me when he took me to the nurse. We were talking and it just sort of happened." She admitted. Alya hummed as she fixed her hair, making sure it was perfect for her first date.

"I'm happy you two are finally together, but sad it took you guys so long to get together." she said with a sigh. Patting Mari's shoulders she waited for her to stand. When she did she walked her over to her closet, shifting through it to look for something nice.

"I am too. I feel like a lot of the pressure has been lifted." She said as she took out her normal outfit, getting dressed into it. Alya chuckled at this but left her change into her own clothes. "I'm relieved... He really helped me remember a lot." she said as she stepped closer to her friend, hugging her arm happily. "You helped me a lot too! Thank you Alya~" She chimed.

"You're welcome Mari." Alya smiled as she pulled her friend into a gentle hug. Just happy to have her back. Well for the most part.

"H-hey Marinette." Adrien stuttered as he rubbed the back of his head, his cheeks burning as he looked Marinette over. Of course Alya decided last minute she needed to wear something cute for her first date with the man of her dreams and so she picked out Mari's outfit. Marinette blushed darkly as she shifted in her spot, her short pink skirt ruffling in the light breeze as she tried to avoid her gaze.

"Alya... Wouldn't..." Marinette stated as she cleared her throat. She wanted to say so much and explain why she was dressed up like a doll but she couldn't seem to find the words. Rubbing her hands together she kept her gaze locked onto the ground. "She wouldn't let me wear my normal clothes, so..." She said her voice trilling off as she moved her hands up to fix her ruffled collar of her blouse.

"I can see this." Adrien softly chuckled, moving to take her hand into his own. Lifting it up he softly kissed the back of it. "It's a pleasure to see you Mari. Especially in such a cute outfit." Adrien smiled. Mari's cheeks burned as she stared down at him, her heart pounding in her chest. She was with Adrien. She was going on a date, WITH ADRIEN! Her mind was turning to putty, her heat beating like some drum.

"Okay you two, if you don't stop flirting we'll miss our movie." Alya smirked as she set a hand on Mari's shoulder. The other nodded as she pulled her hand away from her date, holding it in her other as she looked up to her friend.

"You're right! Let us watch fun and have movie!" She called out as she started to stiffly walk for the doors. All three members of her party gave each other funny looks before soft smiles came to their faces, chuckling at her cuteness.

"You mean watch the movie and have fun?" Adrien chuckled as he stepped next to her side, taking her hand into his own. Mari paused for a moment, thinking as she bit her lip before shifting her gaze up to him.

"What did I say?" She asked with wide eyes. She was like a deer in headlights, caught in the middle of the road and unable to move out of the car's way.

"Watch fun and have movie." he chuckled. Marinette's face darkened as she turned her gaze back to the line where the tickets were being sold. Moving up her free hand she rubbed her cheek, her grip on his hand tightening.

"Sorry... I can't... Do the word." She said as she rolled her hand in the air. Alya laughed from behind her, Nino soon joining in with her. Adrien just rolled his eyes at his friends before looking down at Marinette with so much love in his eyes. He had finally won ladybugs heart and now they of all people were dating! This was everything he had ever wanted and more!

"It's alright Mari. Take your time." Adrien said as he kissed her head. Marinette smiled lightly as she nodded her head, Her cheeks still red. Adrien just gave her a gentle smile as he walked up to the counter buying them two tickets for the movie.

"I can-"

"No, I'm the gentleman here. I buy you the ticket." Adrien smiled at her. Marinette slowly nodded her head, excitement building in her chest.

"Then after the movie let me treat you to lunch~ My parents would love to get to know you~" Marinette chimed happily. Adrien thought for a moment, back to when he had played games with her and she tried to avoid her parents at all costs. Was it because she was embarrassed of them? Maybe it was because they knew she liked him and she was scared they would say something?

"You're right, that sounds amazing~ I can't wait." Adrien smiled warmly, taking her hand into his own as he walked into the theater with her. Alya and Nino just standing behind them in line with smirks on their faces.

"He's so into her." Nino chuckled.

"Finally." Alya sighed happily.
