"No." Marinette sat in her pink swivel chair, arms crossed. "But your so pretty, Marinette! Plus, we have to take our first couple photo together!" Adrien clasped his hands in front of him.
"Adrien, you'd look good in cardboard. I just look like a deer trapped in headlights. Do you really want our friends seeing that?" "Hey, I'd be right beside you. And who organized the photo shoot in the park, hm?"
Marinette stood up with a huff, balling her fists. "Fine. But Starbucks first." Adrien laughed, taking her hand. "Count on it."
It was a beautiful day, and Marinette had to admit after having so many sole photos of Adrien on her wall, it would be nice to be in one of them.
"I'd thought we'd take it by the willow tree, near the duck pond. Mother took me there when I was little," Adrien said. Marinette sipped her frappe, eyebrows raised. "The duck pond. You know ducks have feathers and you'll sneeze, right?"
"Oh, my love," Adrien pulled her in for a cheek kiss, "The ducks will be miles away. We'll be fine."
Now, where had she heard that before? Oh, yeah. Cat would often say that, and then one of them would get creamed, only healed by the Miraculous. Adrien led her down the path, and Marinette noted it did look peaceful.
It took awhile to find the right angle and light, and Adrien was picky. "I'll be old and gray before the photo's snapped," Marinette joked, as Adrien positioned her gently. "Yeah, but you'd still be adorable."
Finally, the timer was counting down, when they heard a loud quack from behind them. "Adrien-" Marinette tried to talk without moving her lips. Quack! "Uh-oh, think I'm going to-" Adrien never made it, sneezing loudly and Marinette shrieked, causing the duck to take off, startling her and she fell into the water.
To bad I can't be in my aqua suit, Marinette thought. Ugh, the pond water was slimy. "Marinette! Here, take my hand!" Adrien bounded over. Marinette giggled, reaching up. In what, marriage?
"Well, we got a photo-" Adrien grinned bashfully as Marinette wrung out her shirt. Oh, nectar and catnip, they couldn't post that!
"It's perfect." "No, I wasn't ready! Don't you dare post that!" "But love!"
"No!" "To late!" "Oh, you and your persuasive dimples and green eyes!" Adrien's eyes sparkled. "I'm persuasive, huh?"
Marinette didn't answer, heading back up the path to home, where dry warm clothes awaited. She knew Adrien would follow, and she would delete the photo at the first chance she'd get!
