It happened again in four weeks. Dying doesn't get any easier for him. He sees himself in his bathroom mirror getting ready, two tally marks stare back at him. His phone buzzed next to him.
"Adrien, your car is waiting out front for you."
"Thanks, Natalie, I'll be right down."
He lifted his shirt over his head.
"Come on Plagg, we got school."
The destructive god floated over to the duffle bag, to snuggle into his own pouch on the side.
"Have a good day kid."
Adrien smirked, "Try not to eat all the camembert at once." He said scratching between his ears.
"No promises."
Adrien slid into his seat next to Nino, giving him a fist bump and grasp.
"Today class, I'm assigning you a group project, now your partner is going to be the person you are seated in front of case in point, Alya your partner is Nino and so on and so forth. Is that clear to everyone?"
"Yes, Miss Bustier."
Alya nudged Marinette with her shoulder. "You know this means you get to work with Aaaaadriiiiennnn."
Marinette blushed heavily and tried to cover it with her hands. "Adrien!" She squeaked.
He turned around in his chair and settled his arms over the back of his chair to hold up his head. "Hey Marinette, I'm glad you're my partner."
Not trusting herself to speak she just nodded her head excitedly.
"Do you want to do the project at my place or yours?"
"Wa—yours!—N—mine! We can project at the place—I mean we can do the project at my house."
Adrien gave off his model smile. "Sounds good to me."
Marinette buried her head into her taupe sweater.
The duo walked in silence back to the bakery.
"Maman! Papa! I brought Adrien! We have a project to work on!" She yelled back in the kitchen.
She didn't wait for a reply before ushering Adrien up to her room. They set up at her desk, both researching independently. It was quiet until Adrien covered up a snort with a poorly hidden cough.
"What?"
He waved her off. "Sorry, it's nothing just saw a pun pop up on my screen."
Marinette raised an eyebrow. "You're into puns?"
Adrien shrugged, "I find them entertaining and I can come up with a few decent ones if I do say so my self."
She giggled, it reminded her of a certain pun-loving partner.
"We've been at this for a while, I'll be back with snacks and drinks."
Adrien nodded and thanked her before turning back to his laptop.
Marinette came back with a tray of drinks and pastries. Adrien stood up in his chair to try to help guide her, the tray wobbled dangerously.
"You sure you don't need help?"
"Oh no, I should be fi—!"
He jumped when the ice-cold drinks made contact with his skin.
"Oh my God! Adrien, I'm so sorry!"
Marinette was mortified. Her face lit up fire engine red, she raced towards her bathroom to get a towel to clean up the floor.
"It's okay, Mari, you're lucky I have a hoodie in my bag."
He proceeded to take off his overshirt. Goosebumps prickled over his arms as his shirt stuck to him too. Taking hold of the back of the shirt, he pulled it straight up and over his body.
"Adrien!"
"What?"
He saw Marinette not so subtly shielding her eyes. At least he dared to look sheepish.
"Oh sorry, it's the model in me, I learned early on not to care who I take my clothes off in front of." He dug through his duffle to locate his black hoodie.
"Did you get a tattoo?"
Adrien looked up at her from his crouch. "Oh...um...something like that."
"Can I see them?" Gone with the shy hesitance, replaced with curiosity.
He cleared his throat and stood up. Marinette closed the distance between them, her eyebrows were furrowed as if she was thinking hard about something. She brushed her thumb across both of them to watch them light up.
Adrien stumbled back as did Marinette.
"How did you do that?" He demanded, "The only other person who can is..."
"Ladybug."
He nodded dumbly.
Marinette breathed out a deep sigh. "You promised me you'd be careful and in a month you already got another one?"
"My Lady..." Adrien sucked in a breath, "You have no idea how happy I am to find you."
"Tikki, spots on."
Shielding his eyes with his hand from the bright pink light, opened them again to see Ladybug where Marinette stood.
She covered the tally marks with her open yoyo.
"Do your thing Tikki."
A pleasant warmth filled him this time around, it reminded him of lazy naps in the sun he takes with Plagg.
He picks his head up to look at Ladybug but her eyes where closed, focusing on his chest. She lowers the yoyo and it closes on its own. Her earrings beep once before being forced to detransform.
"Extra cookies for you Tikki."
The Kwami rested in her hands, tuckered out. "Thank you, Marinette."
Plagg phased through the duffle bag to take Tikki in his arms.
"I got you Sugarcube."
While this all happened, Adrien was too busy looking back down at his chest to see one tally mark gone.
"Marinette..."
She tore her eyes away at the sweet Kwami exchange to meet Adrien's.
The magical gods flitted off somewhere to give their chosens privacy.
"Tikki said I can only take away 3 more but I had to take away one of them now just to make sure."
Adrien brushed her cheek. "You're amazing Marinette."
She overlapped his hand with hers and pulled it off of her face just to interlace them together.
"Tell me okay? I don't want you dealing with this by yourself."
He found himself nodding absentmindedly. "I purromise next time Princess."
Marinette stepped into his tight embrace, his arms securely going over her shoulders and back. Adrien sighed in contempt, placing a gentle kiss on top of her head.
