It was the next day in school. Once again Nino was hoping he could talk more to Marinette. Unfortunately Alya had already taken her rightful place next to Marinette. Nino sat in his seat and awaited Adrien at least his buddy might be able to help.
Adrien walked in the door of the room with huge bags under his eyes. He couldn't sleep last night, he couldn't stop thinking about what almost happen between him an Marinette.
"Um, Earth to Adrien. You okay man?" Nino waved his hand in front of Adrien's face.
"What? Oh, yeah, no I'm fine." Adrien said hoping the conversation ended there.
"Is it about that kiss that almost happened between you and Marinette?" Nino said teasing him.
"Wait how did you know about that?" Adrien's tone shifted.
"Dude, I was there, also Alya but it on her blog." Nino said as the blonde turned red.
"Well I blame the ferris wheel." Adrien almost shouted. "They but me next to Marinette, and we saw the most beautiful parts of Paris while we were up there. We live in the city of love you know, also the city of lights. You know what looked prettier than the lights? Marinette's face. She sparkled up there. I just had to lean in." Adrien said gradually loosing his trail of thought.
"Yea, and she just had to reject you." Nino said truly questioning why.
"Shut-up! How did you do with Alya last night?" Adrein said trying to shift some focus on to his friend's failure.
"Well see you can't build a relationship in one night, I laid down some foundation last night and now I start building our relationship." Nino said proud of himself for his actions the night before.
"Yeah well you kinda have to start by asking her out" Adrien said smirking at his friend's prior remark.
The bell rang and both Adrien and Nino wanted to speak with Marinette. Nino got to her first.
"Hey can I come over this afternoon? I want to talk to you more about Alya and how I should ask her out."
"Sure. By the way she was talking pretty fondly of you. Something about you putting your arm around her at exactly the right time. She was to happy to make any sense." Marinette said happy her friends were happy.
"Adrien was speaking fondly of you as well. Going on about how it was beautiful and you were beautiful and it was like the city was forcing you together." Nino said smiling at the girl.
"Yeah but I stopped him from kissing me." Marinette said looking at the ground in despair.
"Yeah and we'll talk about that later, I promise, he hated that you stopped it too. I gotta go!" Nino said running to his next class. Marinette looked at her watch she had to go as well.
The last bell of the day rang as all the students fled the school to live their normal lives. Marinette walked peacefully outside and then remembered that Nino was gonna talk to her about Adrien. She started speed walking to her house. Nino was only a few minutes behind her. It felt like the longest few minutes of Marinette's life.
"Tell me, tell me what he said." Marinette said as Nino was just walking in her door.
It took Nino a minute to realize what she was referring to. "Oh! He said you stopped the kiss but he definitely wanted it to happen. He's all mopey now, but I think he was planning on talking to you about it."
Marinette got super red, "No. He can't do that. I still can't talk to him."
Nino looked at her confused, "Even though now you know he likes you?"
"Especially now that e's tried to kiss me." Marinette was on the verge of a panic attack
"Knowing both Adrien and you, what can happen from this 'talk' can only be good. I trust that even if you can't form any words it's still going to be wonderful" Nino smiled, and then with a sudden realization he frowned, "if only Alya and I were like that."
Marinette stopped her panic attack and looked at the boy, "Create a blog about all the ways you would ask her out if only she would say yes and then send her the link, She's always wanted that."
Nino looked up with a HUGE smirk on his face, "Well I have to go get started then!" Nino ran out of Marinette's house straight to his without stopping and immediately got started on his new blog.
