the chapter title is so wrong honestly I'm just glad I was able to finish this chapter it was really really hard for me to write for some reason (thankfully a small arc is coming soon so I'll be fine more or less for at least like chapter 14-15) aka 13 might also be a pain to write

The soft sounds of the jacuzzi bubbling and their laughter and clinks of glasses rung through the air, as the two celebrated their last night in Greece together, snuggled up in the warm water, sharing a drink.
"You know, I've noticed your hair is starting to lighten up, it's starting to get to a similar color of your dad's." Her hand reached up to play with the short strands of his hair, as both of them shared a soft laugh and a kiss. "Or maybe you're just getting old."
"I am twenty-four, I'm far from old, you know." He pulled her closer, his face hiding into her neck, his lips leaving a gentle kiss on her shoulder. "Besides, my father has had white hair since i can remember." She hummed in response, her hand still playing with his soft strands, her eyes closed and a content smile on her face.
They had only been real dating for around 3 days, but their dynamic had done a complete 180. They really truly wanted to be next to one another, they wanted to kiss and they wanted to snuggle all the time. The only 'fake' thing left was all the amounts of photos they had to take constantly, and that wasn't even a big deal to either of them.
"I like it. You look cute as hell." Her lips leaned up to meet his, her long eyelashes tickled his nose, and her soft hands gripped his shoulders tight. every kiss was a different experience and they loved it so much, learning how the other worked and how they fit into that, really really.
"Tonight's the last night, then it's back to hell, hmm?" He mumbled, his lips finding her shoulder and peppering a few baby kisses on the freckled skin. He loved her freckles, more than anything. He was sad they'd be bundled back up in the March air back at home.
"It won't be hell. I'll make sure no one over works you, got it? I don't want anyone to make you insane. You're only wearing 6 outfits, and three of them are mine, and two of them is your father's, which means I'll still be fitting you into it. You'll be fine, I promise. I'm so nervous and exited, but it's all gonna work out. I hope at least? Let's try to not MAKE it hell"
"Alright, alright. At least I'll have my REAL girlfriend to do all this with." Both of them shared a smile and a quick kiss, before she started to slowly climb out of the hot tub.
"Let's get a snack, and then it's bedtime, tomorrow is gonna be a long day." She yawned, helping him out of the tub and then they both dried off, their hands naturally finding one another's as they walked into the house, feeling quite a bit chilly from getting out of the water. "Change first?"
"Change first." They both ran up the stairs and into their own rooms, a sweet smile on her lips as she threw off her bathing suit and a pink nightgown on, him a white tee shirt and some grey sweats.
"Wow, someone looks sleepy." Adrien mused softly, his hand naturally finding the small of her back as he helped her down the stairs, kissing her cheek very delicately. "Maybe the champange is getting to you, and you're just a sleepy drunk"
"I am NOT drunk. I'm very, very sleepy." She smiled at him and sat down at the breakfast bar, watching as he microwaved some leftovers from their lunch, and handed it to her. "Thank you so much, you cutie."
"My pleasure." He sat next to her and both of them picked at the plate, him watching her sleepily eat and slowly start to lean more and more into him, the sleep suddenly taking over her, as she leaned all her weight against him. Oh god, she was the cutest thing. "Mari? Maaarriiii...." With no response, Adrien gently picked the girl up bridal style, and made his way to bed.
When he got into the room however, he hesitated. Should he leave her by herself to sleep? Did he want her to stay? They hadn't slept together all night yet; but they had taken a few power naps together during the day. He was very unsure, he wanted to make sure she was happy. Him leaving would be the safest option, so he began to.
"Stay." He heard her sleepy voice coo to him, an arm reached out to muse him back into bed and into her arms. She was irresistible, especially while sleepy.
So he did.

The next morning Adrien woke up with a yawn, slowly sitting up and looking around at his surroundings. This definitely wasn't his room, but Mari's. He smiled gently as she stirred and rolled over in her sleep, in attempts to grip and find him. She was so, so adorable when sleepy. "Princess, we gotta wake up. Our plane is leaving in a couple hours, the car will be here in two." He slowly crawled out of bed, much to her protest. "Come on, we gotta get ready to go home."
"But I don't wanna go home..." She frowned and reached for him, his arms sweeping down to caringly take her into his arms, his hands under her and her legs around his waist. "What did we do with the leftover pasta?"
"We left it out, because someone wouldn't let me leave the room." He buried his face into her neck for a few moments, before making his way down the stairs and into the kitchen to clean up and try to prepare them a wonderful, expertly crafted breakfast of oatmeal. Adrien really needed to learn how to make eggs.
She hung on him the entire time Adrien made their bowls of sweet cinnamon apple oatmeal, pouring a dash of milk in and putting them on the buffet. "Come on, time to get off."
"But I don't want to!" She groaned, protesting for a few seconds more, before gently getting off of him and sitting next to him, smiling softly at the oatmeal. "You're so cute."
"I'm cute... For making oatmeal?"
"Yes. Extremely." She leaned up and kissed his cheek, both of them humming softly as they began to eat their breakfast.
Once their breakfast was done they quickly cleaned everything up, and started to pack up their final items for the trip. They checked over the house a few times, then changed into their plane outfits and checked the house once more. It was all ready to go.
"Maybe we can come back again eventually."
"Eventually." the two of them carried their bags out to the car, climbing in the back seat and linking hands right away. "Back to rainy Paris."
"It's gonna be fun! Just shh." She brushed her nose against his, and they were off to the airport.
---
About halfway on the drive, the skies grew gray and it began to pour. "Rainy Paris? Looks like it's rainy Athens right now." She teased him, leaning up and kissing his cheek. "I hope our flight doesn't get delayed.." She frowned, thanking the driver as he went under a overhang, the two of them giving him a hefty tip and walking off into the airport.
They got through security and customs easily, but as they learned their plane had to be delayed until the weather permitted better flight conditions, Marinette already felt the headache coming on.
"You gotta be kidding me, your father is gonna kill me." She sighed, noticing a missed call from him already. She reluctantly redailed his number, putting the phone to her ear, her other hand finding her boyfriend's.
"Hello?"
"Hello, I'm so sorry, there's a bad thunderstorm here and we have to stay put in Greece until it lets up. The weather says that could be in 6 hours from now." She sighed and squeezed his hand, leaning into him.
"You need to get back here fast, we have a lot of matters to discuss, including Adrien." He seemed very impatient. Had he gotten new news on their arranged marriage? Because she sure as hell had some news for him. If he wanted to cancel, that was going to be a problem.
"Okay, Thank you so much. I'll call you once the storm lets up and we're about to board." She smiled and said a quick goodbye, hanging up and watching the weather girl once more, the two of them snuggling up closer to one another. "What are we gonna do for 6 hours?"
"Well, we can at least try to make the best of it. Want to explore the airport?"
"Sure, why not?"

Hour 1 had been aimless walking around, even grabbing water bottles and snacks and drinking them up, just to get their blood flowing, trying to save the better stuff for later.
Hours 2 and 3 were kept up by an action movie they decided to watch, snuggled up in a blanket with the snacks they had bought, with absolutely no let up of the storm.
Hour 4 was when they decided to explore the gift shops.
More like, when Adrien decided to explore the gift shops and Mari was dragged along with his silliness.
"Look at this one! Oh my goD, LOOK AT THIS ONE!" He held up a shirt proudly, a gyro with a cape around it, titled a 'super gyro.' Oh god, how much worse could he get. "I'm buying it." He quickly looked through all the other shirts, holding up the "hide and Greek" one to proudly show her, but putting it back, he only needed one terrible pun shirt. "Best part of the vacation."
"You're so cute. I personally like this one." She held up a simple shirt with just the word "Athens" written on it, in which Adrien snapped it up into his arms, causing her to raise his eyebrows. He seemed very, very excitable due to all the snacks they had eaten.
"We can be all touristy. We can put them on and wear them home, and be all cute. See? Good press."
"Oh yes, I'm sure the paps will EAT UP the fact that you have a super gyro shirt on." She smiled wide at him, his smile growing wider. She had just made a pun without even realizing it. "Oh shut up!" She laughed and hit his arm, taking the shirt from him after he paid for it.
She was really glad she was stuck in an airport with him, she had never expected something like this to be so entertaining. After the shirts came the chocolates he bought, and then of course the Rose he bought for his princess. He was a nerd and she loved every second of it.
Hour 5 was a couple online videos, hour 6 they went to a gyro place to get food, Adrien proudly clad in the super gyro shirt, so proud of the fact that Mari was almost embarrassed, but too in love with the fact that he was having so much fun.
Hour 7 the storm let up, and hour 8 the two were fast asleep on the plane, praying for a good week in Paris.
