Chapter Text
(Adrien's POV)
I stood frozen outside of Marinette's house. I felt a small object hit my cheek.
"Kid. You've been standing outside of your girlfriend's house for the last 5 minutes. Let's get a move on." Plagg.
"She kissed me." My hand caressing my cheek. I was sure my face matched Ladybug's suit.
"Yeah, well so did you. Ugh, you make me sick with your sappy lovey whatever you want to call this. Get over it," Plagg looked about ready to gag. "Besides, isn't she just a friend ?" He asked derisively.
"Isn't Camembert just any other cheese?"
"How dare y-"
"Gotcha." I began walking back in the direction towards school, knowing Gorilla would be waiting for me there.
Plagg's tiny voice denouncing my very existence.
(Marinette's POV)
I sat behind the closed door. "I can't believe I did that," I replayed the moment again and again in my mind. Getting close to Adrien's face, kissing his cheek. My only regret was not seeing his reaction to it.
"Well it happened Marinette," A voice called out from the kitchen door. Alya, Nino, and my mom came out. Uh-oh.
"H-How much of that d-did you see?!" I jumped off of the floor, covering my face in embarrassment. I knew I wasn't going to live this down.
"Just enough sweetie," My mom smiled proudly at me. "Enough to see that you kissed Adrien on the cheek," She ruffled my hair. "I knew you had it in ya."
"Aww Mari," Alya came over and hugged me. "I'm a proud mama too. It's a good step forward."
"Don't worry Mari, I'm pretty sure I'll be getting a text from my dude soon, most likely to talk about what happened." Nino smiled at me.
"Thank you all," I pulled away from Alya slightly. "But, I'm honestly more proud of the fact that I had a full conversation with Adrien instead of the normal stuttering mess I usually have. I want to earn his friendship first."
"I think that's a noble thing to want." My father came out of the kitchen. "Alright, guys, enough talk about how Marinette has a crush on the Adrien boy. Who wants some cookies?"
(The same night)
Bzz Bzz.
"Alright let me finish the last details on this dress." I carefully retraced the previous drawing.
Bzz Bzz
"Who is it Tikki?" She was eating a cookie on her little bean bag.
"Let me take a look," She pushed the home button on my phone. "Marinette. When I tell you who it is... don't freak out." I was almost finished.
"It's probably not even Adrien so I have nothing to freak out about." Such confidence in that sentence.
"You're right. It's no one," She pushed my phone towards me. "Just a boy named..... Adream."
I fell out of my chair. "WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO SAY?" I just kissed his cheek. Maybe he wanted to end the friendship. Maybe he texted to tell me that his dad's gonna sue me for kissing his cheek. Maybe-
"MARINETTE!" I felt Tikki's little paw on my cheek. "Keep it together and just answer the text." I nodded.
"Right. Nothing to be worked up about. Just Adream - Adrien," I unlocked my phone and pressed the messages icon.
Hey Marinette ;) - Adrien
