Marinette sat in the passenger seat of Adrien's car, staring at the window. The blush on her face never left since they exited Alya's apartment.
"You okay Princess?"
Marinette turned over to Adrien who looked at her with concern. They were currently at a red light.
"Oh..um...yeah..I....I'm fine." She looked back outside the window.
"Okay..." Adrien looked back ahead at the road thinking to himself before a grin slowly began to appear on his face. "So...about my phone?"
Marinette sat straight up the blush on her face became even more red as she glared at the blonde. "I...I thought we were going to drop that!"
"Well I'd still like to know what was going on in your mind when it happened. When I asked about it, you just brushed it off and said that you didn't even remember, but it was for a stupid reason." He chuckled. "And since your mind is back to around the time it happened I'm assuming that you remember."
Marinette twirled her fingers together in a nervous manner, she sighed and decided to give her answer. "Okay....you remember that battle with CopyCat?"
"Oh yeah, wasn't that the akuma who posed as me? Well, Chat Noir to be exact?"
"Mmmhmm. Well.....that same day I wanted to call you and ask you to a movie. It didn't end well....."
"What happened?"
"I ended up saying some embarrassing things over the phone and I accidentally sent it....so while you were in fencing class I might've........snuckintothelockerroomandtookit!"
Adrien raised an eyebrow understanding what she said but still confused about one thing. "Wait how'd you know I was in fencing class?"
"Um.....I guess I got lucky?" Marinette replied chuckling nervously, she figured if she never told him about the fact that she used to have his schedule hanging in her room, why should she tell him now?
Adrien chuckled as the light turned green and he continued to drive. "Well luck is kind of your thing."
"You know...." Marinette started. "Even as Ladybug I never really thought I was that lucky, but given everything that's going...well that HAS happened maybe I am."
"You don't say?" He said smiling. "You said last night that your life seemed perfect. Can you tell me what that life was exactly? Is it spot on."
Marinette groaned slightly at the pun and the blonde just smiled which she returned. She had quickly forgotten that this perfect boy.....well man was also her silly kitty meaning she was going to have to deal with his puns for the rest of her life.
"Well..." She started. "Me being a famous fashion designer, being married to you..." She blushed slightly. "Living in a big house, having three kids and a dog which I just realized we didn't have and-"
"Wait wait wait, three kids?" Adrien interrupted.
"Huh?"
"You said three kids."
Marinette's face turned scarlet. "D..Did I? Oh..I..I..meant to say two."
Adrien once again raised his eyebrow at the girl. "You sure about that?"
"Changing the subject!" She shouted trying to hide the blush on her face.
"Heh..okay....So a dog? Why not a cat?"
Marinette giggled a little still red in the face. It was going away until she unknowingly blurted out, "Why would I want a cat when I already have you minou?"
The car nearly swerved a little on the other side of the road, Adrien who had lost his focus for a moment turned back on his side of the road to avoid any casualties.
It really scared him how easily she sent him back to his days as a teenager when he had a major crush on her, even when she was an adult she still had that affect on him.
"A..Are you okay Adrien?" Forgetting her blunt remark from a second ago she looked at the blonde worriedly.
"Y..Yeah I'm fine, it's just...I haven't heard you call me that in awhile." He chuckled slightly still red in the face. "So um....back at the apartment, you seem to really know your way with the kids."
"Yeah they were just precious and so adorable!" Marinette smiled. "If you remember I babysit a little girl, Manon remember?"
The blonde chuckled, "Yeah I remember her. She actually runs the Ladyblog now with one of Alya's sisters."
"Really?"
"Yeah, unfortunately it also means that they developed the same Ladybug fangirl reporter fever as Alya did back in the day. No matter how many times you tell her as Marinette and as Ladybug Manon always seems to be at each attack. She was even there on the day you got hit by the akuma."
"Wow nice to know that she still doesn't listen to me after all these years." Marinette groaned in a sarcastic tone.
Then again, how could she had been any better at the moment. Obviously she was just as reckless if she had let herself get hit by the akuma and now look what has happened, everyone around her is having to put their whole lives on pause because of a mistake SHE made.
"Something else wrong Mari?" Adrien asked once again noticing the look on her face.
"I'm....not sure." She replied. "I just feel more dependent than usual right now. Like everyone's cleaning up my mistake just because I wasn't careful enough to avoid getting hit by the akuma...."
Adrien reached over taking a hold of Marinette's hand, which she responded to by looking right at him.
"It wasn't your fault." He said. "It was never your fault. So don't beat yourself up over it okay?"
Marinette blinked at the blonde the at their hands that we're now intertwined. She blushed slightly and nodded.
Adrien had pulled up to the side of the road parking his car there. Marinette recognized where they were, they were next to the national park that was the location of the Trocadero in view of the Eiffel Tower.
"What are we doing here?" Marinette finally decided to ask.
"I just thought some familiar sights might help you feel a little at ease." He checked his inside jacket pocket for something, but was shocked to see it wasn't there. "Plagg? Plagg?!"
"Oh hush up, I'm right here." The black cat came into view. "I was sleeping you know?"
"You're ALWAYS sleeping." Tikki chirped from Marinette's lap. "I'm surprised you haven't complained about-"
"And where's my cheese?!"
"There it is."
Adrien groaned at his kwami. "You can have some when we get home tonight, you just ate a full wheel at Alya's house!"
"Doesn't give you any reason to deny me my che-!"Plagg had been interrupted when Marinette plucked him from the air and held him in her hands. "Hey! What are you-!"
"Aww he's so cute he's like a tiny chibi kitten!" She started to gently scratch underneath his chin which he instantly began to purr at.
"Ahh that's the spot." He said relaxing in her hand.
"You're kwami is so adorable Adrien."
"Yeah, but he's a real pain most of the time. Tikki's alot nicer."
"Yeah Tikki's an angel, but Plagg seemed really sweet too he's like a...a..tiny chibi kitten."
Adrien laughed, "Should I be jealous M'lady?"
"I don't see why." She reached over rubbing the blonde's hair. "You'll always be my main kitty."
Adrien began to lean into her touch, purring at the action.
"Adrien?"
"Yes Princess?"
"Adrien? Adrien!"
Huh?
"Adrien!" Marinette had been calling his name. He seemed to have been sucked into another flashback. "Are you okay?" Marinette asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine." He got out of the car making his way around to Marinette's side and open the door for her. "Come on we should get going while the night's still young."
"Where are we going?" The blunette asked stepping out of the car with Tikki and Plagg.
Adrien closed the door behind her offering his hand out to her and she graciously took it. "I just thought a stroll in the park would be nice."
