After his talk with Marinette, Adrien sat impatiently in his desk seat until the end of the day. I'm going to see Master Fu. He reassured himself.

He was just about to sprint down the street when Natalie notified him that he had a photo shoot that evening. Adrien had groaned, throwing his arms up in defeat. So he sat, stood, laughed, smiled, looked off into the distance, and posed for a full four hours. He was exhausted after but insisted to himself he visit Master Fu. He found the shop closed. At this, Adrien had grabbed at his hair in frustration before running home as it began to rain. Of course, the next day he tried again. But the shop was shut the entire day.

Adrien recalled having to go see a movie with Marinette, Alya and Nino when Alya texted him frantically. He had to run to the theater to make it in time. The other three were just beginning to walk in when Adrien arrived, and Alya rushed up to him, pushing him forward from behind. "Go, go, go!" She exclaimed.

"Dude, we've been waiting, like, ten minutes. Even Marinette was on time." Nino complained.

"Hey!" Marinette swatted playfully at Nino.

"Hi, Adrien." She turned back to Adrien.

"Hello, Marinette." I sound like a choked grandpa. Adrien observed.

Alya glanced between the two before shrugging and dragging everyone inside. "Why is your face all red?" Marinette asked as they walked down the hall.

"Oh- I... I may have had to run down here." Adrien puffed, still breathing heavy.

"Monsieur Chauffeured Everywhere had to run?" Marinette asked skeptically.

"Exactly." Adrien said.

Marinette smirked in response, shifting her vision ahead, to Alya, dragging Nino by a hand. "Here." Alya stopped in front of a door.

She pushed through the door, the four of them choosing seats in the middle row.

Alya and Marinette sat between Nino and Adrien. Alya leaned over and began to converse with Nino as soon as they were seated, while Marinette watched the movie trivia that was playing.

Adrien had seen read somewhere that girls had a tendency to shift their weight to one side at a theater. Leaning towards someone was a sign that they liked them. Although a long shot, the entire movie, Adrien watched in his peripheral vision to see if Marinette leaned towards him. Instead, she sat in the middle of her seat, legs crossed. Towards the end of the movie, much to Adrien's delight, Marinette leaned on her elbow, towards Adrien.

Marinette's week was uneventful. She had managed to do her schoolwork at school, and had seen a movie. But that was all.

So on Saturday and Sunday, she slept in late, stayed in her pajamas, and read a novel. She was so well rested as a result, she was up extremely early on Monday. Again.

When she got to school, Adrien seemed extremely cryptic as Marinette said hello. "Hello, Marinette." He smirked.

"Hi, Adrien." Marinette followed him with her eyes as he took a seat.

"Is it just me, or is Adrien being weird?" Marinette leaned over and whispered to Alya.

"Nah, seems the same to me." Alya shrugged.

Class commenced.

-------

Class ended and Marinette burst from the doors, happy to break for lunch. "I hate Mondays." Alya complained as they sat down.

"Who likes them?" Marinette comforted her.

"Yeah, I guess so." It was then Marinette noticed Alya was bouncing in her seat.

"Okay, spill. Why are you so happy?" It was not normal for any teenager, especially Alya, to be excited on a Monday.

"Nino kissed me." She said, squealing.

"Oh." Marinette looked down.

Her head snapped up as she realized what Alya had said. "Oh my God! Alya!" Marinette exclaimed, grabbing Alya's face in her hands.

"This is great! You too can get married, have kids, a dog or cat or hamster and I can plan the wedding and Adrien can help, too, if he want's since Nino's his man or whatever and I am so proud!" Marinette rambled.

"Slow down, Marinette. I want a lizard." Alya said.

"Then a lizard you shall have!" Marinette pointed a finger up determinedly.

Alya laughed. "Nino!" Marinette called, standing up.

Nino turned his head, sandwich halfway to his mouth. Marinette stalked over and Alya, who was crossing her fingers Marinette wasn't going to repeat everything, followed. "So, Nino, getting action with my friend here, huh?" Marinette asked, putting a hand on Nino's shoulder.

He choked on his saliva and started blushing. "What?"

"What's happening?" Adrien asked.

Ignoring him, Marinette continued. "Here's the deal, bro. You break her heart, I break your face, 'kay?" Marinette smiled innocently.

"What's happening?" Adrien repeated, ignored again.

"O-okay." Nino stuttered out, somewhat frightened by the small girl.

Alya, however, was hiding behind Marinette's back, face flushed.

"Adrien. We're planning the wedding." Marinette snapped her fingers.

"Okay!" Adrien saluted.

Why can't I just be normal around her? Adrien thought. "Marinette!" Alya squeaked, dragging out the name.

"Okay, that's all, enjoy your lunch." Marinette was smiling happily as she waved and was dragged away by Alya.

-------

At the end of the day, which had been filled with her least favorite subjects, Marinette decided to transform into Ladybug. She swung from roof to roof, finding herself at the top of the Eiffel Tower. She de-transformed, watching the sun lower with Tikki in the cold.

"Shall we go back?" Tikki asked Marinette, wrapped in her scarf.

"Yeah. Let's go." Marinette beamed.

"Tikki, Spots On!" She yelled, jumping from the tower.

Ladybug laughed as the wind flew her hair. She could almost see Chat running along beside her. "Slow down, My Lady!" He'd say. Marinette thought.

Ladybug landed on Marinette's balcony, de-transforming as Marinette fell through the trap door in her room. The lights were out, so she couldn't really see anything. Too lazy to properly change, Marinette threw her clothes to the ground, grabbing a rather large t-shirt she had laying on her bed and pulling it on.

Then Marinette decided it was too cold to sleep without some sort of pajama bottoms. Flipping on a bedside lamp, she grabbed a pair of shorts she'd left on the edge of her bed. The clothes that were at the foot of the bed, she kicked to the ground and collapsed down, turning off the light.

It didn't take long for her to sleep.

"I know."

And then jolt awake, breathing heavily.

Why, hullo!

Okay. Let's get serious for a second. Someone said they ( ozoli11 ) almost started crying when I updated.

I just can't even. I had no idea the story meant that much to you, that you'd have an emotional reaction prior to even reading it! I'm not even sure what to say except for thank you.

Thank you for being so amazing. Thank you for your loves.

But now, on a much less serious note,
