4. Stuck in an Elevator / Cupboard
Of all the things Marinette could have expected for her day when she woke up that morning, being locked in a cupboard with Adrien Agreste was so far off the charts of her expectations that it may as well have been in a whole other solar system. And yet, here she was, standing chest to chest and toe to toe with the most gorgeous boy she knew in a broom cupboard that couldn't have fit many brooms, let alone two teenage humans.
"Are you okay?" he asked, his hot breath fanning across the side of her neck, arms on either side of her head and elbows against the wall she had her back pressed to. She could hardly breathe—whether it was from the nervousness of having him so close or the growing stuffiness of the cupboard, she couldn't tell—and ice in her veins had frozen her in place, but she drew comfort from the fact that at least he couldn't see her face glowing red like a saucepan on a heated stove.
"Y-yeah," she managed to choke out. "Never better."
