"Marinette, come downstairs, your oatmeal getting cold!" Marinette looked up from her sketchbook. Early inspiration had hit her today, for autumn was fast approaching. Has she headed downstairs, she smiled at Nikki watching the leaves on the trees bending back and forth in the wind.
"Now, after school, you reminded Adrien he's invited for supper," her mother said. As Mainette ate her oatmeal. "Okay," she said, pushing back away from the table. "I'd better get downstairs."
Ever since they started dating, Adrien had been walking Marinette to school and was almost always early. "Good morning, beautiful!" Adrien smiled and Marinette blushed. She was felt so special when he called her that, and she tucked her arm through his.
"So, what are you most looking forward to when Autumn comes?" Marinette asked. "Pumpkin spice, falling leaves, cozy blankets," Adrien sighed, as Marinette giggled. Adrien loved cozy blankets and it reminded her of her partner, Cat Noir. "But what I'm looking forward to most," Adrien said, his green eyes soft, "Is long walks after school with you." "Aw, that's sweet. Though when you say "long walk" I hope part it is to a coffee shop." "Trust me, love, that's not something I'd soon forget."
The wind was a bit chilly, making Adrien scarf flap in the wind. "I should sew you a new scarf," Marinette sighed. "That doesn't go with your coat." Adrien was wearing a light tan coat and a slouched hat. Talk about looking cozy. "You already made me a scarf," he reminded her.
But Marinette was busy sketching away in her sketchbook she always carried. "Don't move, the light is perfect," she said, and Adrien, being goofy, struck a model pose. "You mean, like this?" Marinette laughed, just as the wind really picked up, and she could feel her lips chapping.
She dug in her purse after putting her sketchbook away, and Adrien looked on interested as Marinette pulled out a small tube. Running the tube across her lips, Marinette smiled. "The chapstick's got a really nice flavor, don't you think?" Adrien stopped and blushed. "I don't know. What kind is it?" "Berry Kiss." Curious, Adrien asked, "Hey, can I try some?" Marinette finished applying and smiled. "Sure, here."
"Oh, sure!" She turned and pecked Adrien on the lips, and now they were both blushing. Marinette giggled shyly as she stepped back. "That's a Berry Nice Kiss, love," he joked.
Marinette nodded. It was a Berry nice kiss indeed. Especially coming from Adrien Agreste!
