Confession 14

I do not own miraculous ladybug

''Helo-good-mor eh yo-hhhi!'' Marinette stutters while greeting him. Her head obviously red. Adrien never really paid much attention to it before and when he did, he didn't really thought much about it. Maybe she was feeling warm or something. But now he realised what a fool he was. Obviously she is red because of him, since she likes him. Though he cannot get his head around how she can like him so much that she is so nervous around him that her head gets red. Chloe never has that. At least he now knows he is not scary and that that is not the reason Marinette is acting nervous and stuttering around him, though that has been less and less.

''Good morning Marinette.'' He smiles. Marinette lets him in and on the stairs he can see Marinette's parents. They are home unlike a certain someone. Adrien shakes his head. He is here to have a fun time and get to know Marinette better. Though he is not sure if that is possible in just one day.

''Hello Adrien.'' Marinette's parents say as they walk down the stairs.

''Hello Mister and misses Dupain-Cheng.'' He greets them with the smile still on his face.

''Shall we go upstairs?'' Marinette suggests and Adrien lets her lead the way. When they arrive in her room he sits at the chair close to her bureau. She sits on the other chair across from it. To be honest, now he is even more nervous than when the first time he came here. Of course he was nervous, though tried to hide it, but at least than he knew what they were going to do. Now he has no Idea...

''So...'' He begins...''What should we do?''

''Um..I don't know what do you want to do?'' Marinette asks instead.

''Um... anything you want to do is fine...''

''That's not true we should do something we both like.''

''That's right...so what should we do?''

This is harder than he thought. And he has not that much experience with hanging around with friends. When he is with Nino they just game or play basketball.

''We could game, if you want to?'' Adrien suggests.

''Yeah, that's a great idea!'' Marinette says too loudly, making it obvious she also found the talk just now awkward.

They play the same game as last time, of course Marinette won five out of the six times they played. Though Adrien suspects she might have let him win. They have already been gaming for more than a hour. They put the controllers away and it is back to the awkward silence.

''T-thank you for spending today with me, I mean when at school Chloe was trying to spend today with me.'' Adrien says.

''O-ow don't mention it. We are friends, that is what friends do... spending time with each other.'' Marinette says with rubbing her head.

Friends...

''But, if you do not mind me asking, why are you actually friends with Chloe? I mean she is not the nicest person around.'' Marinette asks first looking him in the eyes but then her eyes shift to her shoes. She has always wanted to ask him. Adrien is so nice, Chloe so not, and yet he is friends with her. She can see Adrien slightly shifting in his chair.

''Um.. while me and Chloe go way back. Or parents knew each other so we have often played with each other and I guess I am a little attached to her? I mean she has her nice moments to.''

She is not the nicest around, but the only one... well not anymore but, he guesses since they have been together for a long time since their fathers are friends and they are in a similar position he just got accustomed to her being with him. And he is not ready to just let her go. And he is sure he will hurt her if he leaves her. And he doesn't want to do that because in the end they are kind of Friends? He himself doesn't really know. Maybe he is just to weak and pathetic to stand up for himself and needs Chloe.

Marinette nods, but stays quiet obviously wanting to hear more.

But Adrien is saved by her parents.

*knock knock*

''Marinette? Adrien? It is lunch time, would you like the eat lunch with us?''

Marinette's eyes turn a little but annoyed and she pouts. She wants to decline, can't they just stay out of it? But when she turns her gaze back to Adrien and sees his eyes go big, his smile growing wider and she is sure she sees sparkles, she can't.

''Would you like that Adrien?''

Would he like it? He almost never eats with people together except in school.

''I would love it!''

Author's note.

I am alive!

How long has it been, a year? I am sorry, I was busy with things and other fanfics and kind of stuck with how I was going to write this date... I really had no idea so I postponed it... for a year. But since I am done with my other fanfic : red hair shining in the light of dawn, I have decided to start writing this one again. Now I have lost my notes so I had to think about a lot of things again and I do know which way I want to go but I have no idea yet how I want the end chapter to be. It has also been a long time since I watched the show so I still have to get back into the flow.

This chapter is longer than usual, usual being around 300-500 words. I hope you enjoyed this chapter, next chapter the date continues, probably for one more.
