Scritch, scritch, went Ms. Bustier's chalk on the chalkboard. Marinette gave a silent sigh. How long would it be before she turned around so they could continue the lesson? "It will be a few minutes, kids, sorry," their teacher gave them a apologetic smile.
Marinette sunk into a daydream, resting her hand on her cheek. The sunlight was slanting in at just the right angle, lighting up Adrien's hair in the seat below her like a golden crown. He may not be a king, Marinette thought. But he is certainly my prince. She started doodling Cat's fluffy hair and she giggled quietly as she drew it extra fluffy. That led into a heart with her initials LB+CN with a arrow through it.
She was happy Cupid's bow had hit them, as long as the arrow was never snapped. Hm, what would her last name look like if she took Cat's last name? Marinette Noir, she scrawled. Oooh, she couldn't wait to be married someday and have the three kids and hamster...and how adorable were the little hearts?!
"Marinette Noir?" Marinette froze as Alya giggled beside her. "I-i don't know his real name!" she spluttered, erasing furiously. Spices and herbs, what was thinking?
Okay, time to stop being silly. Cat was just her partner, right? Oh, curse that cute floofball of a cat! Marinette turned to a fresh sheet in notebook. Adrien Dupain-Cheng. Yes, she liked the sound of that! And a another itaial heart, wouldn't hurt, would it?
Little did Marinette know, one seat below, Adrien was also doodling little love doodles. Just then, Ms. B turned around. "Alright! Turn to page 247!"
Quickly and simultaneity, Marinette and Adrien slammed their notebooks shut before the could get caught.
Love doodles were cute, but being caught was anything but!
