Doubt
It had been three months since the superhero duo started dating, and two and a half months since their counterparts did too.
And since, it's been a long, winding road with ups and downs. The ups being Gabriel approving of the relationship, the downs being Chloe constantly trying to tear them apart. And on this day, she's at it again.
"He doesn't even care about you!" She says, and Marinette shakes her head in denial, trying not to allow herself to believe it, but after every response came another comment on her status, her family, her own insecurities and she couldn't have been so stunned in her life.
Hands folded over her shoulders, and Marinette looks up, finding a fuming Adrien, "and what makes you think that, Chloe?"
The blond girl clamps her mouth shut, never having seen Adrien angry, and she swallows, "she's not good enough for you!"
His golden brows quirk up mockingly, "and you are? If anything, she's the best option for me; even my father loves her." Chloe stopped at that, and her blue eyes turn into a glare, "she's just a bakers daughter, a no body."
"And you're a brat." He argues, "a spoiled daddy's girl brat." He doesn't stay to hear her response, turning Marinette around and leading her out, his touch in her shoulders softer.
Once away from the squealing swine, he brushes her hair from her eyes, his expression gentle, "you alright bugaboo?"
She smiles at the old nickname, and slowly nods, "you purr-ositive?" She looks up at him, and he had a Chat like grin and his gold brows lifted in a joking kind of way, and she grins, nodding a bit more sincerely. "I'm positive, kitty."
He smiles sweetly, "don't listen to her, okay? She only looks at the world in black and white, and you," he kisses her hand softly, "make my world shine bright with colour." She flushes lightly, before placing a light kiss to his lips, "I love you."
"I love you too. No matter what."
