7. Dealing with Jealous People
Adrien suppressed a sigh for the third time that morning as he squirmed in his seat to avoid the embrace of one Chloé Bourgeois. She persisted anyway, as she always did, having no concept for personal space as she wormed herself into his seat with him and wrapped her arms around his neck. Cooing, she rubbed her cheek against his shoulder. Glancing over at Nino in a silent plea for help, Adrien caught the sight of his best friend making a show of retching into his hat. No help to be found there.
Then the door opened.
Adrien's eyes shot to the figure in the doorway to find Marinette standing stock still, eyes locked on his, before they darted to the blonde girl trying to fuse herself to his right arm. Her eyes narrowed while his own went wide, mouth parting to give an explanation that would never be voiced.
Marinette closed the distance in two quick strides, prying Chloé's arms off of him as easily as if they were noodles before grabbing onto his collar. Before he could so much as quip a greeting, she reached over the desk to pull his lips onto hers.
Adrien had imagined other ways they could have made their relationship public, but he found he couldn't argue with how it really had gone down and not even Chloé's screaming fit afterwards could deter him from that thought.
