I do not, and never will own Miraculous Ladybug

"Why did you bring that girl here?" Gabriel asked, staring coldly at Marinette.

"She's my… well, she…. We…." Adrien didn't know what to say. He hadn't really thought it through. He wanted to introduce Marinette to his father, but now that he was in front of his father, he was blanking. He didn't know what he and Marinette were exactly. He would have loved to say that she was his girlfriend. He really did care for Marinette. But for all he knew, she was just going along with the bet. So he didn't know what to say. His face was bright red, and he was extremely embarrassed.

"I'm…. I'm his girlfriend. Right honey?" Marinette said, trying to help Adrien out. Even while she said it, her heart was hurting. She wanted it to be true, so much. But she was sure the only reason Adrien even bothered with her was because of the bet. But still, she wanted to help him out. She didn't notice how Adrien's face got redder when she said that.

"Yes, my love." Adrien said, picking Marinette's hand up, and giving it a kiss. He had realized that he wanted to be able to call her that. To introduce her as his girlfriend. To call her 'My Love' and 'Princess' on a regular basis. He realized that he didn't want to let her go. He wanted to keep her by his side.

"You are Miss Marinette, am I correct?" Gabriel said, eyeing the blue haired girl. He remembered her from the design competition. She swallowed, nodding. "Very well, Miss Marinette, Adrien, you have my blessing." He said, before turning, and leaving.
