Chapter 10: Sleepover
A/N: Took me a while to finish this chapter. It's a little bit longer than the previous one.
"Alya, I need to tell my parents about our sleepover tonight." Marinette mentioned. "Okay. Are your parents at the resort this time?" Alya asked. "Hmm... Let me check out the schedule." Marinette answered.
She went to her room and check the schedule out. Then, she went back to Alya. "My parents are free. I bet they are at the bakery." Marinette stated.
"Oh, yeah. I forgot your parents own a bakery. Why don't you call them?" Alya said. "That's a great idea." Marinette smiled and started to dial her mom's phone number.
Just a quick notes:
For your information, Marinette shouldn't live in a bakery because they owned a resort, right? They should live somewhere that is bigger than that. But due to their humble attitude, they just wanted to live in a low profile.
The bakery was actually built before they owned a resort. The bakery became popular because of these three family members. They didn't know what else to do with the money. So, why don't build a resort? That could be a great idea, right? Throughout the years, the resort became more popular now.
They wrote a note in front of the bakery door telling them that the bakery business would be transferred to the Dupain-Cheng Resort.

"Oh, Marinette. Why are you calling?" Sabine said through the phone. "Uhh, are you at the bakery right now?" Marinette asked. "Yes. Why?" Sabine said. "I'm heading there with Alya!" Marinette exclaimed. "Wait, what is actually happen-" Sabine said but got trailed off by Marinette pushed the decline on the phone application.
"You really are cruel, Mari." Alya said and crossed her arms. "What?! I just want to surprise them, that's all. Lets pack our things." Marinette tried to change the topic.
"We already pack them in the morning. Did you forget?" Alya tried to hold back her laughter. She knew that Marinette tried to change the subject.
"Yeah, right. Lets just go straight to the bakery." Marinette informed. Then, they went off to the bakery. They also brought all of their things for tonight's sleepover.
__________
"What is happening here?" Marinette was amazed by the sudden changed in the bakery. "Oh, Marinette, Alya. Come here. The workers just renovate our bakery." Sabine stated. The bakery was getting expanded.
"Where's dad?" Marinette asked. "Your dad is now at the resort, there are some problem that needed to be fix." Sabine answered. "I came here just want to tell you that I'm going on a sleepover with a friends." Marinette mentioned.
"Who are this 'friends' of yours?" Sabine asked nicely. "Oh, it's... it's... it's..." She just didn't know how to answer. Will her mom allowed her? Because this sleepover were with boys.
"It's Adrien and Nino." Alya finished Marinette's sentence confidently. "Oh. Sure. Just be careful. Anyway, their apartment are around three blocks away from here to the left." Sabine confirmed.
"Really? How do you know?" Marinette smiled. "They always drive pass the bakery after university and I saw them enter an apartment that is around three blocks from here everyday." Sabine said.
"That's a great news. We don't need to use map, then." Alya said. "Okay, mom. We need to get going now. Send my greeting to papa. Bye, mom!" Then, they went outside of the bakery.
__________
"Bro, I'm really excited!" Adrien yelled proudly. "It's not you're the only one." Nino rolled his eyes over his best friend's excitement.
Suddenly, a knocked on the door surprised them. The person knocked several times but Adrien and Nino didn't answer because they were at the kitchen. It was Adrien that reacted first. When he opened the door, someone knocked his forehead by accident. He let out an 'Aww' sound.
"I'm sorry, Adrien! I thought no one answer it for us." Marinette's eyes widen. Alya laughed at Adrien's reaction. Marinette gave Alya a 'Oh my gosh! He's going to hate me for my whole life' look.
Alya shook her head telling her that she just overthinking things. "Adrien! I'm sorry! Can I get you something? Water? Medicine?-" Marinette panicked but Adrien put his index finger to her lips to silent her.
"It's alright. I'm not hurt. Come in." Adrien invited. Marinette still felt really sorry.
__________
It was now 6:05 in the evening. "Okay. What are we going to do?" Marinette asked. "I don't know." Adrien answered. "Seriously?! You invited us but didn't know what your plan is?" Alya chocked out.
Adrien shrugged. "It was Nino's idea, after all." Adrien answered. "Lets play truth or dare." Nino suggested. "It's a kids and teenager's game, babe. We're adult." Alya laughed at his boyfriend's suggestion.
"That's okay. We can watch movie after that." Marinette said. "That's a good idea, my lady." Adrien smirked. "My idea is always good, kitty." Marinette leaned in closer.
Is she going to kiss me? Adrien tried to hold back his excitement. "Not before you knocked me on the forehead." Adrien laughed. Marinette blushed and backed off a little further from his face.
Great! I regret what I've said. Adrien thought. "I said I was sorry, kitty." She crossed her arms and didn't make eye contact with him. "Aww, bugaboo. I was just messing with you." He touched her shoulder.
"Kitty? Bugaboo? Seriously? Giving each other a nickname? We can cancel playing truth or dare and go to sleep already." Nino sounded like he was getting annoyed with his best friend's attitude. "Let them be. If you want, we can give each other a nickname." Alya tried to cheer Nino up.
Without one of them noticing, Nino was blushing. "We're sorry, Nino." Adrien and Marinette apologized at the same time. "It's okay. Lets get started. Okay, Adrien. Truth or dare?" Nino asked straight forward.
"Uhh... dare." Adrien chose. "Okay. I dare you to show me your phone's home screen wallpaper." Nino dared. Adrien gulped. This is going to be embarrassing. Adrien thought blushing.
He showed it to Nino. He started to laughed and both girls were curious. "Can you show it to us?" Marinette begged.
"I'm sorry, dudette. I only dare him to show it to me." Nino laughed. Both girls groaned.
"Okay. My turn. Alya, truth or dare?" Adrien asked. "I'm okay with taking the risk. So... dare." Alya answered.
"I dare you to... kiss Nino om the lips." Adrien said proudly. They both blushed a deep scarlet. "Just kiss already." Marinette added teasingly.
Then, they kissed. When they pulled away, they blushed. Again. "Okay, Nino. Truth or dare?" Alya questioned.
"Hmm... truth." Nino said. "Okay. I have a perfect question in mind." Alya smirked and Nino gulped and so nervous.
"What do you think of our kiss?" Alya asked. Before Nino could answer, someone interrupted him. " Ahem. I need to go to the toilet. Where is it?" Marinette faked a coughed.
"On the left." Adrien answered. When she reached the doorknob, she glanced at Alya once. She saw Alya sent her a death glare.
They continued the game. "I think it's awesome and perfect." Nino answered. Alya blushed. Adrien couldn't help but wanted to leave wanted to give them a privacy.
__________
As soon as Marinette came back from the toilet, Nino asked her, "Truth or dare, Mari?" Nino asked. "Uhh... truth." Marinette said. "Okay. Do you have a crush on someone?" Nino asked excitedly because he knew she never had a crush on someone before. Maybe this time she had one? He also wanted to help Adrien on catching her heart.
Her face turned red and she took a quick glanced at Adrien. When Adrien looked at her, she quickly changed her gaze towards Nino.
Great question, Nino. Adrien thought with a smirked. He was waiting for her answer. Whenever she opened her mouth to answer, she closed it back. Too shy to admit that she had developed a feeling for a certain someone.
"Uhh, Mari. We're waiting for your answer like..." Nino looked at his watch and continued, "...five minutes, already."
"YES!" Marinette shouted accidentally. Then, she covered her mouth in embarassement. "I m-mean, yes."
What?! Who is her crush? Adrien thought and couldn't help but asked her, "Who's the lucky guy?" Waiting for her response. You She thought.
"You can't ask more than one question in truth or dare. It's against the rule." Marinette answered nervously. That's a great cover. Hope it make sense. She thought and her face was red. Adrien groaned.
__________
"Okay, truth or dare are done... now, what?" Alya asked them but no answer. Then, something clicked in Marinette's mind.
"Oh! I've got a great idea. You guys must have forgotten." Marinette cheered. " What?! Telling us your crush's name?" Adrien asked enthusiastically. She rolled her eyes. "Not that, silly kitty." She laughed.
"So, what?" Adrien asked. "Lets watch movie. I bring my hard disk along with my laptop with me." She mentioned. "What do you have?" Nino asked.
"Hmm... there's a lot, actually. Train to Busan and TMNT 2 are the new one I've downloaded." Marinette said.
"Wow, girl. I thought you haven't download them." Alya said. "I just download them yesterday. I haven't watch them. Let me take my laptop." Marinette said. Because of her clumsiness, she almost trip herself but her personal hero caught her.
"You've got to be more careful next time, my lady." Adrien winked. "Thank you. I-Ive d-d-done this every s-single day." She chuckled nervously.
__________
She went to the other side of the room where she put her bag. While in the room waiting for Marinette, Nino whispered to Adrien, "I think you just broke her, bro."
Before Adrien could answer, Marinette came in with her laptop and hard disk in her hand. Her face still red.
She started to turn on the laptop and assembled the hard disk and laptop together. "Okay, what movie you guys want to watch? Train to Busan or TMNT 2? These two still fresh in theater." Marinette said.
"Me and Adrien already watch TMNT 2. Lets try Train to Busan. What do you say, babe?" Nino asked his girlfriend. She just nodded.
"Rumors said this movie-" Adrien was trailed off with Marinette's hand covered his mouth. "Uh-ah... no spoiler, Adrien." Marinette warned. (No spoiler, readers. *wink*)' He mouth an 'oh' understood what she meant. She started to play the movie and watched.
__________
(Sorry. I spoiled the movie a little) Marinette wiped away her tears with her thumb. "That is verrry sad ending." She sobbed. Alya was agreed with her and wiped her tears as well. "You mean furry sad?" Adrien asked. She ignored him and rolled her eyes.
Marinette turned her gazed towards Adrien. She saw his eyes were red. "Are you crying, kitty?" Marinette teased. "W-what?! No way! I'm sick, that's why I look like crying." He lied.
"Hmm... I saw you were okay just then." Marinette said. "Okay. You caught me. Yes, I was crying. Who doesn't? I feel guilty for the hero." Adrien said.
Marinette nodded in agreement. "Hey, I'm going to bed, now." Alya said in a sleepy toned. "I'm coming with you." Marinette answered but Nino held her arm and said, "Hmm, I'm her boyfriend. I'm coming with her." Marinette was about to protest.
"Let them be, Mari." Adrien interrupted. Adrien made an eye contact with Nino with a 'is our plan going to work?' face. Nino nodded telling him it would work.
"Oh, okay. Don't do anything I didn't do, Al." Marinette teased. Alya rolled her eyes and successfully covered her blushed. After that, Nino and Alya off to Nino's bedroom.
__________
"I'm taking the couch." Marinette said. "No, no, no. That's not going to happen." Adrien interrupted. "What?! This is your apartment. You should taking the bed." Marinette argued.
"Because of my apartment, I can do anything I want. So, you should've taking the bed." Adrien stated. "You're not going to stop, are you?" Marinette asked.
Adrien shook his head. "To be fair. Lets just both of us sleep in the same bed... I-I m-mean... your b-bed is queen s-size, after all." Marinette stated. She felt stupid about giving him that idea.
"If that's okay with you. Then, it settle." Adrien answered. They both off to bed. Both of their back facing each other. They didn't want to make eye contact because they were too embarrassed.
"Good night, Mari." Adrien said. "Good night, Adrien." After that, he turned off the lamp.
__________
It was 3:07 in the morning. Adrien heard a noisy sound coming from Marinette's side. He turned his face towards the sleeping woman.
"N-no, kitty. Don't leave me. I-I love y-you." Marinette said. Adrien blushed as she said that. As far as he knew, the word 'kitty' was preferred to him.
She has a nightmare about me? I wonder what it is about. Now I know who is her crush. That thought made him blushed. "Don't worry, princess. I love you too." Adrien whispered.
He kissed Marinette's cheek and brushed his fingers through her dark blue hair. Then, Marinette sleep back peacefully. Adrien continued his sleep also.
A/N: Hope you enjoy this chapter! I wish you a good luck to those who have a big exam tomorrow :) FYI, there will be some twist & angst later on another chapter between Adrien & Marinette. Don't worry. ;) My tr. said, "A composition will be more interesting if you add some twist in it." Start from that day, I'm planning to add some twist. I don't have any idea just yet, actually.
