Adrien didn't need to detransform to know that Plagg was annoyed, he could feel it. His uniform seemed to constrict around him, like Plagg was trying to suffocate him, or at least make him uncomfortable enough so that he would leave and go home and detransform, probably so that he could finally get some Camembert. Adrien sighed, looking to his left to see the sleeping girl laying on his arm. Her arms were pulled up to her chest, her legs entwined with Adrien's. Her lips were slightly parted as she breathed, her chest rising and falling slowly and calmly. Adrien couldn't think of a time that he had ever seen Marinette as calm as she was right now. However, as Adrien looked at Marinette, the way she was so relaxed, innocently asleep, something clenched at his heart. God how he wanted her to know who he was, he wanted to reveal who he was to her, but the thought of putting her in danger like that reminded Adrien, with a cold realization, that Marinette was a civilian. But that selfish side of his heart wouldn't let him leave her, he realized just how pathetic he was, needy for her touch, her breath on his skin, the need to protect her with everything he had, every fiber of his being wanted this girl. So he decided. He wouldn't reveal himself, not yet at least. Maybe someday he would tell her, but right now, he couldn't risk it. He couldn't risk endangering her life, her safety, just for his selfish needs.

But what about Ladybug? The thought came to the back of his mind. Ladybug, the first girl he had given his heart to. He couldn't deny that he was still in love with her. His heart still fluttered when he thought of her, his brain shut off when he was around her. Adrien couldn't help that bitter laugh that came from his lips, why did this have to be so damned complicated?

Adrien looked outside the window, the sun was just barely beginning to come up. He needed to leave before Marinette's parents woke up, he doubted they would be pleased to see a teenage boy in a leather cat suit in their daughters bedroom, let alone her bed. Slowly Adrien lifted Marinette's head, careful not to wake her, he slid his arm from under her and replaced it with her pillow, a cat pillow to be exact. Adorably Marinette snuggled up to the pillow, pulling it closer to her body, her hair a released mess around her head. Adrien memorized the way she looked, how could one person be so cute?

When Adrien climbed in his bedroom window, he almost felt his suit sigh in relief, and when he detransformed Plagg shot from his ring, landing comfortably on Adrien's pillow exhausted.

"Alright lover boy, new rule. No more sleepovers at your girlfriends house." Plagg said, floating over to where Adrien kept the secret stash of Camembert for when he got home too late to sneak to the kitchen.

"Oh please Plagg, you're such a drama- WHOA WHOA WHOA Marinette is not my girlfriend, Plagg." Adrien said, a shocked look on his face, paired with a dark blush that reached down to his neck.

"Kid, don't think I didn't hear your inner monologue, you sounded like a love sick puppy," Plagg started, swallowing a piece of cheese whole. "And considering you're a cat themed super hero, it's a little ironic don't you think?"

Adrien rolled his eyes, synchronously rolling his head back and to the side as he did so. "Come one Plagg, I have to get ready for school." Adrien said, pulling his black shirt off so he could replace it with a clean one.

"What you're not going to get some extra sleep before going to school to see your girlfriend?" That was the last thing Plagg said before a shirt was thrown at him.

Marinette woke up to the other side of her bed being empty, and cuddling up to her cat pillow, of course he would choose that pillow. Marinette rolled over onto her back, hugging the cat pillow to her chest.

"You sure got comfortable with Chat Noir last night." Tikki said, a knowing smile plastered to her face. Marinette blushed, rolling back on her side and crushing the pillow to her face before letting out a groan.

"What am I going to do Tikki?" Marinette asked, removing the pillow from her face. "I love Adrien...but I think I might like Chat Noir." rolling onto her stomach Marinette closed her eyes. She could still feel Chat Noir's warmth, his arms around her, and how he curled around her like a security blanket. Marinette blushed. What was she going to do?

Marinette walked into class that morning, half of her happy that Adrien wasn't there yet. She couldn't help the pool of guilt that was forming in her gut. Even if she and Adrien weren't a couple, she still felt like she was being unfaithful. God dammit Chat and your perfect body...and you gentle touch and kind eyes and warm smile and...oh god it's Adrien!

Marinette was immediately pulled out of her thoughts when Adrien walked into the room. There was no way she was going to let herself think about Chat when the love of her life was sitting right in front of her. Then he did it. He smiled at her. Oh god he smiled at her. What should I do, should I smile back, should I say good morning, UGH!

"Good Adrien morning, er, I-I mean, good m-morning Adrien!" Marinette stumbled, mentally kicking herself. Great, now Adrien probably thought she was insane. Three years and she still couldn't talk to him.

"Good morning Marinette." Adrien said. His smile reached his eyes as they stared up at her warmly. Wow he was gorgeous. When Marinette looked at him she noticed he seemed familiar. He had a similar body type to Chat, his arms were definitely more muscular than they had been when hey were fifteen, and today he wasn't wearing an over shirt, which gave Marinette a very nice view of them. She could see the strong muscles of his chest through his shirt, and suddenly Marinette remembered laying against Chat's chest all night, he made the perfect pillow. Okay Marinette, stop, you are not in love with Chat, you are not allowed to think about that mangy cat when Adrien is right there. Marinette cleared any thoughts of Chat that came to mind as Alya and Nino walked in the class. Marinette had never been so happy to not be alone with Adrien.

"Hey girl, since when do you get here early?" Alya said, taking her seat next to Marinette, Nino sitting next to Adrien.

Marinette smiled, "I guess I just got a good nights sleep." Marinette didn't notice it, but Adrien had smiled, remembering the night before.

Adrien was hyper aware that Marinette was behind him. He could practically hear her every breath, her heart beat, picture the way her blue eyes stared at the board as the teacher lectured. It took everything he had not to turn around and pull her into his chest and hold her there the rest of the day, however that would probably attract a lot of attention. Not to mention a lot of questions from the girl herself.

Any time Adrien tried to write notes, he just found himself doodling hearts and pictures of cats, by the time he'd realized what he was doing, Nino was very curious about his friends behavior.

"Dude, are you okay?" Nino asked, glancing down at Adriens paper and then back up at the blond. "I don't think I've ever seen you this out of it."

"Uh, yeah I'm fine...just tired." Adrien said, turning back to face the board as the teacher began speaking again. Ms. Bustier set the book in her hands down on her desk and leaned against the wooden piece of furniture.

"So for this project I am going to be assigning you partners." She said. Project? What project? Adrien thought as he listened to his literature teacher. "You will all be assigned two people from popular writings in literature, and your project will be to analyze their purpose in the writing, and what they add to the story. So as I assign your partners I will also assign who you will be analyzing."

Adrien sat up straighter when Ms. Bustier picked up her papers again. Who was he going to be assigned partners with, he prayed it wasn't Chloe. "Alright," Ms. Bustier started, reading off of her list. "Alya, you are with Nino, and you will have Romeo and Juliet, from Shakespeare's 'Romeo and Juliet'." well there goes Nino Adrien thought, sinking down into his seat. "Marinette, you are with Adrien," What? "And you two have Elizabeth Bennett and Darcy from 'Pride and Prejudice." Adrien felt his heart drop into his stomach, partially out of relief that he wasn't with Chloe, and part because, HOLY CRAP HE WAS PARTNERED WITH MARINETTE!

Marinette froze. Adrien? She was partnered with Adrien. Marinette felt like she was going to throw up. Mainly because she was partnered with the man of her dreams to analyze one of the most romantic love stories she had ever read. Elizabeth Bennett who at first loathed Darcy, but by the end realized she couldn't have loved anyone else. She didn't know why, but Marinette was having some serious de ja vu. Calmly Marinette took a deep breath, it was just a project, it would be over in a day, maybe two, she would be fine, right?

When Alya elbowed her in the side and winked at her, Marinette felt the panic set in. This was going to be very interesting. Marinette was pulled out of her thoughts by Ms. Bustier's voice. "Now that you are all paired up, you may have the last few minutes of class to converse with your partners." as soon as she said that the class erupted in speech, people talking to each other, talking over each other, and Marinette was still frozen. It was only when Adrien spoke that she was pulled out of her thoughts.

"Hey Marinette," Adrien started, making Marinette jump. "So since we're paired up, do you want to come over today after school to work?" Oh my god, Adrien is asking me over to his house, today, to work. Well I guess that would be best, considering how busy mama and papa are with the latest orders. Holy shit I'm going to Adrien's house! As Adrien stared at her expectantly Marinette realized she hadn't answered yet.

"Oh!" Marinette started, smiling apologetically. "Y-Yeah, g-great that would b-be, er I mean, that w-would be g-g-great!" Good job Mari, now you sound like Yoda. Get yourself together! Marinette thought to herself as Adrien smiled at her, but holy crap, SHE WAS GOING TO ADRIEN AGRESTES HOUSE AFTER SCHOOL! Marinette couldn't decide whether to be happy or terrified, but what ever it was, it had better not make her sick before the end of the day.
