Their Closure

thirty-one

Marinette giggled as she exited the car. She walked towards the Eiffel Tower, and her boyfriend paid for the cab and ran up to her.

"What are you giggling about?" Adrien asked playfully.

"Oh, nothing." Marinette giggled again.

"Nothing?! I just fingered you in the backseat!" Adrien whisper-shouted to her.

"And you were pretty good at it too." Marinette smirked.

"You owe me for that. What are you gonna give me?"

"I mean I'm carrying your baby." Marinette raised her brows.

Adrien laughed and wrapped his arm around Marinette as they were walking. He gave her a kiss on her head and they sat on a bench.

Marinette inhaled. "Isn't the city beautiful?"

"Yeah, it is." Adrien looked around. "But if I were to rank all the safest cities in the world, Paris wouldn't even make the list."

"Yeah." Marinette agreed. "Hawk Moth is truly terrible for traumatizing these citizens."

"I wonder what getting akumatized is like." Adrien said. "You got akumatized at school, right?"

Marinette heard Hawk Moth's voice in her head.

"Princess Justice.." Marinette nodded. "Yes, I have. Have you ever been akumatized?"

"No, I haven't. Thankfully." Adrien sighed.

Marinette couldn't help but to feel her heart sink. He was akumatized, except it never happened.
She could only imagine the pain Chat Blanc went through.

The couple sat and talked for a little. Marinette held her prince close to her the entire time. Eventually, they went back to Alya's house.

The entire group played and chatted for hours and hours. Majority of them went to bed, leaving Marinette, Alya, Nino, and Adrien in the living room. The foursome decided to play Ultimate Mecha Strike in pairs. Alya and Marinette against Nino and Adrien.

They started the round and were off to a good start. Further into the game, Adrien started to groan and smack his controller with frustration. Nino started to squeeze up his face and squint his eyes at the TV as if his skills would improve.

On the other hand, Alya and Marinette were in a relaxed sitting position, and their controllers and hands were resting in their laps.

Alya levelled up and went behind Marinette. Marinette used her controller and threw attacks at Adrien and Nino. She threw so many attacks that they could barely move.

"Holy shit, Adrien, dodge it!" Nino raged and leaned closer to the TV. "Don't throw yourself into her!"

"I'm trying!" Adrien retorted.

Alya giggled and helped Marinette level up. Marinette threw one last shot at Nino and Adrien and killed them both.

"Two birds with one stone! Marinette style, boo-ya!" Marinette exclaimed.

"And yet again, my BFF has won against you two." Alya snickered.

"Whatever dude." Nino huffed.

"Let's switch up the teams." Adrien suggested. "Me and Marinette against you two."

"No way man! You guys will win for sure!" Nino crossed his arms.

"Not if we try hard enough." Alya grinned.

Everyone rearranged their seats. Alya and Nino sat side by side, and Marinette sat on the couch with her legs over Adrien's shoulders. (View chapter photo. All credits go to the artist).
