This is the last oblivious chapter! (As in, the last chapter where they are oblivious to who each other is.) I really hope I'm doing these characters justice. You guys would tell me if I made them too OOC, right? Thanks for putting up with me and please enjoy Adrienette.
Adrienette
For the first time in a while, Adrien was allowed to spend his lunch break at school. It might have had something to do with his father missing their family dinner days before, but he would take what he could get. His friends were thrilled, of course. Finally, a lunch break where they were all together.
When the bell rang for lunch to begin, Adrien followed Nino and Alya to a picnic table in the park across the street. It wasn't until all three of them were sitting down and already eating that Adrien realized someone was missing.
"Where's Marinette?" he asked, looking around for the young designer.
Alya grinned sneakily back at him. "Oh, you know Mari; she's always running late."
Though that smile worried him –why was Alya so scary all the time? –Adrien accepted the blogger's words. Marinette was often late for things, so this wasn't really too troubling. At least, that's what he told himself as he dug into his lunch.
Their break was almost halfway over when Marinette finally showed up. She sprinted over to them, narrowly avoiding disaster on several occasions before plopping down in the only available seat. Had she not been completely exhausted from her run, she would have probably been freaking out over the fact that she was currently sitting right beside Adrien! In her grasp was a rather large box with a familiar logo on it.
"I brought things from the bakery!" the bluenette gasped, trying to regain her breath. She opened the box, revealing cookies, cupcakes, tarts, and all sorts of deliciously sweet treats. Alya and Nino immediately snapped up over half the box, citing the facts that Marinette lived above the bakery and Adrien was a model who couldn't have too many sweets.
Marinette did manage to salvage the mini cheesecake that she had placed in the box specifically for Adrien, recalling all of the cheese-based items he had bought on his infrequent visits to the bakery. When she handed him the treat, proud of herself for only blushing and stuttering a little bit, he laughed.
"You're amazing," Adrien chuckled before doing something that completely threw Marinette's composure out the window. He draped his arm around her shoulders and kissed the top of her head.
As the blond turned his attention to the sweets, Marinette was rapidly turning a brilliant shade of candy-apple red. Adrien just kissed her! Granted, it was on the top of the head, and she'd kissed him once as Ladybug –something she had yet to fully get over doing –but still! He just kissed her in front of Nino and Alya!
Adrien, however, was completely oblivious to Marinette's freak out. He thought nothing of his actions. In several of the movies he had watched growing up, the guys always did that with their female friends. Sure, they nearly always ended up dating by the end of the movie, but they were still friends when the guys kissed the girl's head.
With a smile, Adrien stuffed a whole cookie into his mouth, subtly sneaking the mini cheesecake to Plagg. How thoughtful was Marinette? She was probably the nicest girl he knew.
Seriously Adrien?! Ugh, I wrote this and I'm wanting to smack him for being an idiot. Excuse me while I go fangirl in the corner. Thanks for reading!
