Chapter Fifteen

Adrien stood with Tom and Sabine in the kitchen waiting for Marinette, she had guaranteed him she would be ready on time for once. She made her way down the stairs and Adrien checked the time of his phone.

"Not bad Mari, you're actually quite early." He said, stuffing a third croissant into his mouth. She walked over to him a smile on her face and kissed him on the lips.

"You ready to go?" She asked as she looked at him so sweetly he thought he'd end up with cavities.

"As ready as I'll ever be. Thank you for the snacks Mr and Mrs Dupain-Cheng." Adrien waved to her parents as they began to leave the bakery.

"Sabine and Tom, please Adrien. You make us sound so old." Tom chuckled to the young body and placed his hand on his shoulder.

"Text us if you want to come home for lunch, Marinette, you can bring the gang." Sabine quickly shouted as they closed the door to the apartment.

Once out of sight of her parents they gave each other a proper greeting. Wrapping her arms tightly round his neck Marinette pulled Adrien towards her and kissed him like she meant it. Pulling away Adrien smiled down at his girlfriend.

"Good morning to you too." Adrien was interrupted by a little black blur as Plagg flew over into his ladies bag. Marinette opened it up to find Tikki cuddling up to Plagg.

"If you two plan on staying in here all day you best behave. No more Kwamibuster nonsense, ok?" Marinette directed her words towards Plagg knowing how troublesome the little kwami of destruction can be.

"Whatever you say Pigtails." Adrien laughed at Plagg before covering it up with a cough. Marinette smacked him around the back of the head before placing another kiss on his lips.

"I think you might have an addiction to kissing me, bugaboo." Adrien smirked in a very Chat like way.

"I can always stop if you want me to." She answered walking in front of him down the stairs.

"I really, really don't want you to stop." As they reached the bottom of the stairs he grabbed her arm and spun her around, straight into his body. Pressing his lips hard onto hers he proved his point. "I love you so much Little Bug, thank you for crashing into my life."

Stroking his face, she stretched up and kissed him again.

"We better get moving or I don't think we'll make it to school." She laughed. They began to make their way when Adrien went silent, he seemed deep in thought.

"You ok, mon amour?" Marinette broke Adrien out of his trance.

"I'm just thinking how we are going to handle this today? We can't exactly walk in like we've been together for years, but I want everyone to know you're mine."

"We can just do this -" she held his hand, "- and this." She kissed him on the cheek.

"But I want to do this-" he placed a hand around the back of her head and kissed her on the lips. They heard a squeal in the distance and could see Alya running full speed towards the crossing. Adrien and Marinette laughed as they crossed the road hand in hand.

"Girl, you're coming with me." Marinette reached back for Adrien as she was pulled away by Ayla, quite certain she was about to be interrogated. Adrien chuckled as his girlfriends terrified face moved away from him. He made his way over to Nino who had been watching with a full on smirk.

"You two together now?" Nino asked, Kim, Max and Ivan came over to join the guys.

"Yep." Adrien replied as he popped the 'p'. He couldn't stop smiling and his cheeks were killing him. He didn't think he'd ever been this happy in his life.

"Have you kissed her?" Max asked.

Adrien raised an eyebrow, "I don't kiss and tell."

"That's 100% a yes." Markov , Max's robot, appeared from behind Max's back. Adrien had a round of pats on the back from his friends.

"Have you made out?" Nino asked again, Adrien looked at his friend who proceeded to shrug his shoulders and raise an eyebrow.

"Have you touched stuff?" Kim wiggled his eyebrows at Adrien who groaned. It was always Kim that would lower the tone.

"I'm going to find my girlfriend." Adrien said before turning and walking in the opposite direction, and unfortunately straight into Lila.

"I'm here, Adrien." She placed her hands on his chest and grabbed the edges of his white over shirt.

Meanwhile, the girls were questioning Marinette. When did it happen? Who made the first move? Is it love? Has he brought her anything yet? Marinette was over whelmed with all the questions and tried to look to Adrien for help. She found the guys grouped together frowning at something, or should she say someone.

Following their eye-line she saw Lila touching Adrien ... again. That girl just wouldn't give up. Alya saw where she was looking before gasping.

"Oh no she doesn't. This ship has been in the works for two years. She's not coming to break it up." Alya stormed over to where Lila stood clutching at Adrien. Marinette followed with the others.

"Oh Alya, have you heard the news? Me and Adrien are finally together, isn't it great. We had a photo shoot together yesterday and Gabriel wanted so many shots. He said we looked perfect and then Adrien took me out for a romantic meal making us official." Adrien looked so uncomfortable he thought he was going to internally combust. Not only was he uncomfortable, he was terrified Marinette would take this the wrong way.

"How can Adrien have been with you when he came with us for ice cream and then spent the rest of the evening with his tongue down Mari's throat." Alya continued. Marinette honestly thought she was going to die. Now she really sounded easy.

"Adrien would never kiss Marinette, she's no where near good enough for him." Adrien had had enough and even though Marinette wanted to be cautious with their relationship at school he wasn't going to let this lie.

Using his confidence he unclenched Lila's grasp from his shirt and walked towards Marinette. Her face began to blush as he stepped closer.

"Sorry Lila but Marinette's my girlfriend, I am officially off the market." He placed a hand round her lower back and the other in her loose hair and kissed her. He made sure that no one could call this a friendly kiss, or that anyone would think Marinette's still available. He made sure everyone knew that she was his.

The crowd around them started to 'oooo' and 'arrrr' at the display in front of them, that was until someone cleared their throat. Adrien broke away from a breathless Marinette and looked up at the entrance to their school. Ms. Mendeleiev stood with her arms crossed looking down at the PDA with a disgusted look.

"Monsieur Agreste, Ms Dupain-Cheng, please save that kind behaviour for at home. This is a public school."

Adrien and Marinette hugged as they laughed, watching Lila storm away. Everyone began to move to their lockers, however there was one other person standing near them who witnessed the whole thing in silence. Chloé walked forward towards Adrien and Marinette.

"I'm not going to say I'm happy about ... this," she waved her arms between the two teens, "but I'm so glad you've stuck it up to that bitch." She winked at them both and made her way inside.

"Well that went surprisingly better than expected." Marinette said as she threaded her fingers through Adrien's.

"Shall we continue to class little lady?"

"Little Lady? I like that." She smiled at him before kissing him on the cheek. Ms. Mendeleiev coughed again gaining their attention. They walked past her snickering together.

Making their way into their classroom they briefly kissed as they made their way to their assigned seats. Adrien and Nino turned around to converse with the girls sitting behind them. That was until Ms Bustier walked into the class.

"So how did everyone get on yesterday?" She asked. A lot of excitement filled the class as people began to talk over each other about what they did. Ms Bustier began to laugh. "Ok everyone calm down. I hope you have the pictures ready for the year book, but today you're going to talk about what you learned regarding the other person." Everyone began to smile again, and chat merrily. "Let's start with Nino and Chloé."

Nino stood at the front of the class and sent her picture up to the screen. It was a picture of Chloé with words written all over her; spoilt, selfish, brat. He began to speak.

"I spent yesterday with Chloé Bourgeois and I learnt something. People are all gonna label you. But it's how you overcome those labels. Thats' what matters."

Nino smiled at Chloé before she stepped forward producing a picture of Nino performing on DJ decks; without the hat and headphones.

"I spent yesterday with Nino Lahiffe. He's a DJ and he's pretty cool. Also has quite cool hair."

Everyone nodded their approvals as they swapped with Alya and Ivan.

"People think they know Ivan Bruel. I know I did. But, I discovered something new. Ivan is a beautiful writer and has an incredible way with words." Alya spoke first showing the picture of Ivan with a rose in his mouth. A few giggles went round the room as Ivan's face blushed pink.

Ivan spoke next sending the picture of Alya in front of the television onto the screen.

"I spent the class with Alya Césaire. It reminded me what a good friend she is. I also learnt that she's going to make a great reporter one day."

The rest of the class moved through showing their pictures and explaining their write ups about the other person.

Finally Ms Bustier arrived at Adrien and Marinette. It was decided Marinette would speak first. She sent her picture up to the screen. It was Adrien in less than fashionable clothes, hair a mess and a croissant hanging out his mouth. His hands were firmly placed on a computer controller.

"One day ago, I called Adrien Agreste a jock. But I was wrong, he's more than one simple word, I guess we all are. He is not just the model people see, and I can honestly say spending one day with Adrien changed my life. I, also, learnt that he's actually a lot like me. Who knew?" She smiled at her boyfriend. She knew he'd pick up on the hidden statement.

Adrien changed his picture for one of Marinette from the photoshoot. Dressed as an angel, standing next to his father looking at the photographs.

"Twenty four hours ago I called Marinette a really good friend and I stand by that for our everyday Ladybug, but I found something new about my Marinette. She's an angel. This one person can change your whole life. She can make even the coldest of hearts fall in love with her -" he pointed to the screen indicating his father, "she cares about everyone more than herself. She is brave, loyal and determined," staring into her eyes he held onto her hand, "and I'm proud to have her by my-side."
