I don't own Miraculous Ladybug
Chapter 5: Adrien's Wingman
"How's the letter milady?" Chat asked as he and Ladybug are at the top of the Eiffel tower having their night patrol.
"To be honest Chat, I was touched, thank you." Ladybug said smiling softly. "Aren't you a fan of Shakesphere perhaps?"
Chat looked at his lady and think. "I watched some plays and read Romeo and Juliet."
"You're the cheesiest cat I know. FYI The last part ruined it."
"Last part?"
"Till death do us part? Really?" She said raising one brow and grinned.
"I will protect you with my entire life milady." He said as he closed his eyes and smiled dreamily. "When I finally know who you are underneath, I'll really protect you whenever you go."
"Sounds like a stalker to me." Ladybug said as she chuckled.
"Let's just say I'm your guardian angel." Chat said wiggling his brows.
"Anyways, let's call it a night kitty." Ladybug said standing up and spinning her yoyo about to take flight.
"Aww, but I want to spend the night with you some more my lady." Chat said teasingly standing up as well.
"I've got some work to do at home." She said then she released her yoyo. "Don't dare follow me, okay?"
Chat nodded and watches Ladybug flee.
The next day at lunch time, Adrien was tapping his pen at his paper, he's in deep thoughts right now and his tapping caused his three friends to worry.
"Is something bothering you bro?" Nino asked as he peeked at his paper. "Are you making a love letter?!"
Adrien turned flustered and crumpled it into a ball. "Nope! nope! It's no letter!"
Meanwhile, Alya keeps nudging Marinette who blushes redder than she usually does. "I bet the love letter's for you." Alya teased.
"Shush Alya, I'm sure it's not!"
"Hey Marinette, Can I talk to you after school, there's something I want to ask." Adrien said rubbing his nape nervously.
"Whaa-" Marinette exclaimed and started murmuring.
"She'll be there." Alya said with a thumbs up as she pats Marinette's her back.
"Thanks Mari!"
"Omigawsh Mari, what if he'll ask you out." Alya squealed as she and Marinette are on their way of leaving the campus to meet up with their guy friends.
"I doubt that."
"What if he'll confess?"
"I'm sure that will not happen."
"Hey Marinette!" Adrien greeted with Nino at his side waving as well.
"What if he ask you to be his girlfriend—"
"Quit it, will you Alya?" Marinette said irritated and waved to Adrien and Nino. "Hi! What's up Adrien?"
"Would you mind joining me for the rest of the day Marinette?" Adrien asked shyly as he lightly scratched his cheek because of nervousness. Marinette stared at the boy, ignoring the nudges from Alya. "I need to talk to you about something privately."
Marinette was still staring at his face, she's completely malfunctioning. "Ah!" She rolled her eyes to Alya begging her to stop and quickly looked back. "W-whatever it is, S-Sure." She manages to smile.
"Well, if that's all I can hear from Adrien, I should better be leaving, I've got some errands so see ya dudes." Nino said winking at them before he leaves.
"Me too, I've got a video to edit for the ladyblog so toodles!" Alya said bidding them goodbye and left immediately.
Adrien and Marinette watches their two friends leave. Adrien was smiling as he watched them while Marinette's glaring at Alya's direction until she's out of her view.
"Adrikins!" Chloe's voice was heard. The young Bourgeois was running happily towards Adrien with open arms.
As soon as the boy noticed this, he quickly opened the car's door, took Marinette's wrist and swooped in the car with her. "Let's get going now." He said to the driver and the car immediately took off.
A simple thing happen, both teenagers are red on their faces. Marinette's on top and Adrien's below. It's an awkward position for both of them and the gorilla known as the driver didn't care. As Marinette noticed where she is right now, she quickly lifts her body up and sat close to the door. The boy sat up as well. Neither the two of them looked at each other.
"Sorry about that, I just wanted to talk without any distraction from Chloe." Adrien said nervously.
Marinette just nodded and after a few minutes she chuckled a little. "I'm sure if Chloe had interfered, you never had the chance to talk about your little problem." She muttered out of the blue, enjoying the thought of abandoning Chloe.
Adrien looked at Marinette surprisingly and laughed. He definitely hear clearly what she just said and he might just treasure this talk with her since he often get stutters and awkward conversation with her. "You seemed to enjoy to see Chloe suffer, you're not nice." He said with a smirk on his face.
"Well she's not nice too; at least I'm not verbally bullying people." Marinette said as she shrug.
Adrien laughed. "That's so true, you know her well!" he said. Marinette flinched as she heard Adrien laugh, she can't believe she actually have a conversation with him without stutters so she just gone quiet and began to fidget.
"So what do you want from me?" she asked as they now arrived at the Agreste's residence.
Adrien didn't say a word as he smiled. He lead Marinette to his lovely mansion, greeted by Nathalie and they went to his room.
"I wanted to ask you some advice, if that's okay." Adrien said as he closed his door and went to his desk.
"Advice?" she repeated as she was astonished by the huge room Adrien lives in. As she noticed Adrien at the corner of her eye, she looked at him and followed. "What kind of?"
"You know I'm a huge ladybug fan right?"
Marinette nodded.
"And I wanted to write her a lo-letter, y'know a letter of gratitude to thank her for her saving Paris all the time."
"Okay…"
"And I don't know the words to express. She might not like it or confused or-Arrggh I don't even know!"
Marinette had her jaws dropped the entire she was listening, she can't believe he's writing a letter to her. She can't handle the pressure. After a few minutes of processing, she laughed.
"What's so funny?"
"I can't believe how frustrated you are in this." She said as she wiped a tear from her eye. Adrien pouted.. "The famous and excellent Adrien Agreste who excel most of the subject is actually having a hard time in literature."
Adrien blushed glaring at her.
"Okay, sorry, I'll stop now." She cleared her throat and smiled with a rather sweet face. "But I don't blame you though, literature is vast."
"So what's the problem again?" she asked.
"Help me express my feelings to her." He replied looking at his paper as he taps his pen.
Marinette widened her eyes looking at Adrien's serious face. "What?"
"Help me figure out the right words to express. I don't know where to start and Pla—a certain other friend of mine isn't help at all." Adrien pouted like a child.
The girl wants to help him as much as she can but if Adrien gives Ladybug the letter with her contribution, there's no element of surprise in it because Ladybug helped him write a letter for her.
"Umm since you d-don't have the words to s-say, maybe writing a letter isn't the t-thing for you to give." Marinette stuttered.
"Meaning?"
"M-meaning, umm how about try to express it with illustrations, I've seen you draw and it's g-good. I'm sure Ladybug will like it as well."
Adrien gasped and smiled. He stood up and gave the girl a big hug making her melt because of the warmness. He then let go of her, leaving his hands resting on her shoulders. "Why didn't I think of that, you're the smartest person I've known! Thank you! Thank you!"
Marinette smiled shyly and nodded.
"Now if you can help me think of how to—" he began but Marinette slowly backed away.
"M-Marinette should better go home now." She stuttered as she continue to back away. She don't want to spoil herself from Adrien's message.
"R-really," Adrien said sadly looking out his window. "It is dark now. I'll ask Gorilla to send you home."
Marinette nodded. "T-thank you."
Marinette arrived at her home minutes after. She had dinner and went quickly to her room. She fell at her bed and began to fangirl. "Tikki, Adrien's giving me a letter."
"Congratulations Marinette." Tikki cheered.
"And he complimented me."
"Yeah, say, let's go night patrol, Chat might be waiting." Tikki said.
"Alright Tikki, Spots on!"
Ladybug arrived at the Eiffel Tower to meet up with Chat and luckily, she's the first one to arrive. She sat at the pillar and waited but after a few minutes, the cat is still nowhere to be found.
"Chat's not here yet!" she complained spinning her yoyo. "Well, that leaves me going on solo. I'll scold him for missing patrols!" she said irritated as she started patrolling.
