I do not, and will never own Miraculous Ladybug

If you would like to read the kiss I wrote for Ladrien, it is posted on my blog (aliceoflynn. wordpress. com without the spaces). And I have to admit that it is probably my favorite non-Adrienette kiss. It takes place after kiss 8. Where you get to read about Chloe's reaction to the kiss. I hope you all read it. And I want to thank you all for the prompts you've given me. - Alice O'flynn

"I've actually wanted to ask you this for a long time. Do you want to go get a smoothie with me?" Marinette asked her reflection. Yes, her relationship with Adrien was different now. But that didn't mean she didn't have to practice her question in the mirror beforehand. She didn't want to mess up with her words. And the more she went through those words in the mirror, the braver she got.

"You'll do great, Marinette." Tikki said, encouragingly.

"It's going to be hard…. Do you think I really can do it?"

"I'm sure you can! I believe in you!" Tikki said, right before Marinette's alarm went off. She had set it to go off twenty minutes before school. She wanted to make sure she was there early. She ran to school, even though she was right next door to it. She wanted to be there before Adrein. So she was surprised when Adrien was already in front of the school. She skidded to a halt in front of Adrien, a little out of breath from running straight from her room, to the school.

"Marinette, I'm glad you're here early. I wanted to ask you something." Adrien said with a smile. "Do you want to get a smoothie with me after school?"

Marinette couldn't talk. Not only because she was still catching her breath. But also because Adrien beat her to the punch, and asked her out before she could ask him out. Since she couldn't talk, she decided to answer another way. She took Adrien's head in her hands, and pulled him into a kiss. When she finally pulled away, his face was tinged slightly pink.

"Is…. Is that a yes?" Adrien asked.
