It All Started On Her Balcony

3

a/n: Another day, another 4 hours of planning, writing and editing... well I guess it's all worth it for you lil beans

*i'm really in the mood for a lemon cheesecake rn...*

Marinette's POV:

Me and Chat went our separate ways and headed home, all that I could think of was that I'd. Just. Kissed. Chat. - well it was sorta the opposite way round, but I kissed him back.. ughh why is all this love stuff so confusing.

- back at home -

I threw open the trapdoor and found Alya lounging around on the sofa in my room "A-Alya?! What are you doing up so late at night in my room" I sputtered completely surprised and confused

"Well I guess I should be asking you what you were doing out there with Chat so late at night hm?" she questioned me, raising an eyebrow in suspicion. Waitt- hold up how did SHE know?

"Ughh ALYAAA you really need to stop following me around and monitoring my love life.." I said while sitting down at my desk

"Well girll we need to have a serious chat about what's happening here, going after Adrien now? I thought you gave up on him?" Alya was right, I had given up on Adrien for a while after he and Kagami got together but anyways, they were over so why not have a second shot?

I gave Alya a disgruntled look, "Well I may have given up on him but there's something between us which is telling me to give it a second shot... honestly I don't know whether I should?" Alya smiled at me and handed me a piece of paper "Meet me at this address tomorrow at 10am sharp, okay? I don't want you being 35 minutes late as usual?" she said with a laugh. "Alrightt I'll try and be early for once..."

- next day -

I got out of bed early for once and got dressed, I had checked the mystery location Alya had given me and turns out it was this SUPER swanky cafe called Lacroix Patissier , considering the fact it looked so fancy I decided to wear one of my nicest dresses:

kinda extra but I don't really care because it looks nice.

I headed downstairs, grabbed my purse and left for the cafe, unfortunately as I'm no stranger to disasters I trip over my own bloody shadow and twist my ankle. BADLY. (dayum that shit hurt...) Someone grabs me from behind around my waist and lifts me up, I whip my head around and find myself staring into the familiar emerald green eyes of Adrien

"Why hello, you seem head over heels to see me m'lady" he says with a half hearted chuckle , "Ugh not the puns again Adrien, now come on let go of me" I grumble "Not a chance" he whispers into my ear and carries me all the way back to my house, which was unlocked. I mentally slapped myself for being so stupid, well my stupidity never ceases to amaze me.

Third Person POV:

Adrien carried Marinette bridal style across her house and put her down on a nearby sofa, Marinette winced at the sharp pain in her ankle as Adrien placed her down but it slowly faded away

Adrien had gone to fetch an ice pack for her ankle, while looking he got a little carried away at all the family photos around the house, he gazed at each one but his eyes were fixated on one particular photo of Marinette:

He stared and stared at it, getting more and more mesmerised by the minute; getting more and more captivated by the minute, for what almost seemed like forever until he hear a small "Ahem" from behind which startled him quite a bit, almost causing him to trip over his own feet. He turned around to come face-to-face with a pair of bluebell eyes staring suspiciously at him

"So, what are you still doing here Agreste? Having a hard time locating the freezer, well turn around it's right infront of you" she remarked with a smug smirk plastered across her face and her arms folded across her body, "Well I was doing fine locating the freezer, it's just that these photos of y-you are-" Marinette abruptly intervened.

She pushed him against the wall.

Her lips on his.

Skin against skin.

Adrien's fingers intertwined with Marinette's and gripped her hand tightly, almost as if she were to dissolve away at any moment. They pulled away, lips swollen and a shade of bright crimson red but they both couldn't care less about that.

Adrien's POV:

Marinette leaned in so close I could feel her hot breath against my lips, "You're all I want Chaton" she seductively whispers, fuckk why has she got to be so damn sexy sometimes... Before I could form a reply she pressed her lips against mine once again. The feeling of her silky soft skin against mine melted away the feeling of the rock hard wall on my back.

Her.

That's all I can think of.

Her and her kisses, her kisses were something else- the feeling of warmth between our skin made me melt into pure bliss, pure HEAVEN. I pulled away and uttered "Well well looks like your ankle is perfectly fine hm... well I think my kisses have something that heals you don't you think" I teased, she looked up at me, flustered at first with a small smile which quickly faded into a slight glare "Well- Um- A-Actually my ankle was perfectly f-fine at first, I did-didn't need your help in the first place, besides why are you still here, aren't you meant to be at one of your photoshoots" she snapped back at me, god she's so cute when she's pissed

I gave Mari a small smile "I would miss anything just to look after you bugaboo, even if it was a huge celebration in my honor, I would miss it just to be by your side" I whisper while placing small kisses on her forehead, "Thank you so much my little kitty" she pulled me into a tight hug, I then heard the door creak open slightly and heard a familiar voice

"Well you both are going to have LOTS of explaining to, Dupain-Cheng and Agreste"
