"Guys, it's been over two hours and no ones won yet! Just give it up!" Kim stifles a huge yawn as he stands up. Max is talking in deep conversation with Markov, his AI friend.

"There's a 86.75% chance this could continue all night. We're out of here." Max announces. Kim follows him out the door after saying goodbye to Nino and Alya.

"Mari, Nino and I are going to go to our dorm so you two can continue whatever this stubbornness is. I'll see you in the morning." Alya gave Marinette a kiss on the cheek before leaving hand in hand with Nino.

"Just us left then sweetheart." Marinette stared at Adrien as he spoke.

"Seriously stop with the nicknames. They're not sweet or cute."

"Ok, ok! Let's continue the game." He put his hands up in surrender.

If Adrien was going to win he needed to come up with a plan. She was too good to beat, he had just about won two and it took everything he knew to pull off ties.

As the new game started Adrien shuffled up right next to Marinette, leaving his thigh to press up against hers. She was wearing a pretty pink skirt and white tee this evening, she looked so beautiful. His mind wondered to what would of happened if they'd known each other back in high school. Life could have been so different, he was sure of it.

As his thigh hit hers her stomach dropped like she was on a free fall tower. It distracted her allowing Adrien to land one of his special moves. She figured it out, he was trying to put her off her game. Two could play at this, she thought. She leaned forward placing her forearms on her knees; well her left arm went on her knee, her right arm went to his thigh.

He jolted with an electric current pulsing up his leg into his heart (and his groin). He knew she had figured him out, her move completely took his breath and she won round one. She stood up, placing her hand on his thigh to help her. Pressing pause and placing her control pad down she walked calmly to the fridge to grab a drink.

"Do you want a drink?" She called to Adrien.

"No, I'm ok thank you."

She waltzed back to the couch and sat down rising her skirt to the top of her thighs and crossing one long smooth leg over the other. She felt empowered with the effect she was having on him.

Adrien leaned his head back and groaned. The tightening in his trousers becoming impossible and the pounding in his heart made him feel as though he was going to have a heart attack. He needed to beat her, he needed that date.

Marinette unpaused the game again and they began. Adrien stood in front of the television blocking her view.

"Adrien, that's ..." before she could finish he'd taken his top off.

"Cheating." She finished.

He quickly used his special moves and defeated her.

"Sorry, Mari, I was just getting a little warm." Adrien gave her a wink and sat down next to her. He could see her mouth was slack as she stared at him. It wasn't the first time she'd seen him topless, but last time it had been for professional reasons.

"You're right," said Marinette. Before the next game began she took her tee off and sat on his lap, she was wearing a skin colour strapless bra. She could feel his heart beating at speed and he couldn't help but look at what lay in front of him. Gulping, his voice came out a little squeaky.

"You are cruel."

"I play to win, Agreste."

They pressed play again and began to battle. Each character began advancing on the other and it looked like it was going to be another tie breaker.

One hit, then the other, then the first, and so on. Each were at a pivotal point in the game when Adrien made a bold move. Lowering his head onto Marinette's shoulder he began to speak.

"You are beautiful, do you know that?"

The brush of hot air on her shoulder jolted her out of her Mecha Strike zone and then his words almost made her pass out. She turned to look into his stunning green eyes and lost herself. Both mentally and in the game.

Adrien kicked Marinette's character without looking at the game, knocking her out. He didn't care though, all he cared about were the bright blue eyes straight at him.

Adrien reached his hand up to stroke a stray hair behind her ear then brushed the back of his fingers down her face. His hand continued down her neck, over her bare shoulder and down her side to end on her waist. His eyes never leaving hers.

Marinette couldn't control the little bumps appearing on her skin. She shivered in anticipation, she'd never been touched this way before.

"I win." He whispered before taking her mouth with his. There was no nice build up to this kiss. It was passionate and heavy as though they'd been pining over each other for years. Unbeknownst to them, they actually had.

Marinette moved her legs without breaking their lips so she could straddle him. He kept one hand on her hip whilst the other went up to her neck. She ran her fingers into his hair as her tongue begged for permission to meet his. Both of them groaned into the kiss as they devoured each other. Hot skin was flush against hot skin, and sweat began to form between the two unrestricted bodies.

The kiss slowed down and they pulled away, stealing tiny kisses as their breathing steadied.

"So when do I get my date?" Adrien asked. Marinette rolled her eyes and punched him in the shoulder.

"Do you know how strong you are for such a tiny thing? And that stomach!" He was practically drooling as he looked over her body. She became self conscious and crossed her arms over herself.

"I work out a lot." Actually, working out to Marinette meant she ran laps round Paris roof tops, but nobody needed to know about that.

"Put your tee on, I want to show you something." He stood up and let her legs slide down to the floor, brushing her skirt straight. At the end of the day he was a gentleman, what just happened was pent up frustration. He wouldn't just do that kind of thing. Especially when they're not in a relationship, but he wanted her. He wanted her so badly.

Marinette slipped on her tee and pressed her hand to her lips. They were swollen and still tasted like Adrien. She was very tempted to just jump on him and carry on where they left off, but she was intrigued by what he wanted to show her.

Adrien pulled on his own tee over his head and ruffled his hair. They both grabbed their coats and made it out the dorm. After locking up, Adrien grabbed hold of Marinette's hand and led her down to the underground car park.

They weren't alone in their little outing. Kagami was waiting near Adrien's car. She had to get him back. She was next in line for her families fortune but she'd only be able to receive it once she had married. Tomoe Tsurugi wanted the fortune, therefore Kagami needed to be married before she turned twenty. That only gave her a couple of years.

Her mother also informed Kagami that it had to be someone capable of upholding their family values, and Adrien was the only boy she knew of her social standing. After spending some time with him she began to grow an obsession.

Adrien was her one and only. She never cared for anyone as much as she did for him. She was completely besotted with him. When he told her he was going away to university she was disgusted at the idea, then when he broke up with her she was determined to win him back no matter what.

Kagami watched as Adrien pulled Marinette out the elevator and flung her over his shoulder.

"Adrien! My skirt!" She was laughing and Kagami could only think what a slut this girl was to be acting so unladylike.

"I'll put you down when you tell me I have a nice ass."

Kagami saw red. This girl was messing everything up. She had never seen her before, she must be someone he had met at university, and since when did Adrien talk like that.

"Fine! Oh mighty Adrien Agreste, fashion God, your buttocks are an absolute joy to my eyes." Adrien laughed and put her down, keeping his hands on her hips. He pulled her towards him, and her hands fell flat to his muscular chest.

"See that wasn't too hard was it?" Adrien stared into Marinette's eyes, moving forward to a steal a light kiss from the girl.

"You really are a jackass!"

"Oh back to round one are we? I thought we'd made progress." The two carried on laughing as they climbed into Adrien's car.

Kagami looked over. She'd lost to a fan girl? Adrien must just be testing the waters, after all Kagami wouldn't give anything up to him before marriage. He obviously just wanted to sleep with her.

Why else would he kiss such a slut? Kagami thought. She was going to win him back. She just had to figure out how.

—————————————————

"Where you taking me then Mr. Agreste? Is this the date?" Marinette was holding Adrien's hand, fingers securely entwined together.

One positive of having an automatic car, Adrien thought.

He brought her hand to his mouth and kissed it. He could get used to this. Driving around with his Princess in the seat next to him. He used to think about Ladybug seated next to him, laughing with him as they made their way back from a date. Though he didn't know if that was ever going to happen. They still seemed a long way off from revealing.

Then there was Kagami. Kagami point blank refused to get in the car with him even though she knew he made zero mistakes on his driving test. They had to be driven everywhere by bodyguards.

Adrien loved driving, it gave him additional freedom as Adrien not just as Chat Noir.

"No this isn't the date. I've got to work on that one ... got to make it worth while if I'm only getting the one." He gave her a cheeky wink at the next red light they hit. She giggled.

Adrien let go of her hand and pressed a fob against the front gate. Marinette was wowed by the house that sat in front of them. She knew for sure this was the Agreste's mansion, last time she had been here she'd entered through a back window and down to the basement where the butterflies and Mrs Agreste were kept.

Adrien pulled his car up in front of his house and turned off the engine.

"We're going to have to be quiet, everyone will be asleep." He stepped out the car closing the door quietly before proceeding to open Marinette's.

"You do realise your car has a 6.5L V12 engine right?" She claimed, with a wide smile on her face.

The cold of the night air hit her as she stepped out the car. She followed Adrien up the stairs and into the cold, minimalistic house. She looked around the hallway and her eyes set on a portrait of a younger Adrien and Gabriel.

Adrien had changed a lot since this had been taken. He was broad now and all his features had sharpened. The only thing remaining the same were his beautiful emerald eyes. He'd also grown tremendously. She'd seen recent pictures of him and Gabriel in magazines. Adrien now towered above his father. My, was he a fine specimen of a human being.

"Stop eyeing up my photo when you have the real deal here with you." Marinette flushed at his words and a stirring sensation went off in his stomach.

"Follow me." Adrien led her up the stairs and along the corridor. Opening a door, Marinette thought she had died and gone to heaven. Inside were reams and reams of fabric. He guided her in and shut the door behind them, flicking on the light, and igniting a roaring flame in her heart.

"I thought this might help with your designs. These are all Gabriel's new fabrics for summer. Hopefully it can give you some type of inspiration."

Marinette looked around the room like a child in a sweet shop and Adrien couldn't get past the overwhelming feeling in his chest for making her so happy.

He'd known this girl a week, yet it felt like forever. His heart was close to becoming healed. Half from his Lady and now half from his Princess.

After about an hour of gushing, Adrien locked the doors behind them and both made their way back into Adrien's 'quiet' car. Neither wanted the night to end. Marinette took some courage and asked a question.

"How about we go back to yours and play one more game? I'll let you use my lucky charm." She gave him a wink.

"You're on. Winner chooses where we both sleep for the evening. Don't worry when I win I won't suggest the same bed." Adrien replied.

"When I win I won't suggest the same dorm." And the playful banter continued all the way back to the parking lot.

Adrien pulled into his allocated space and locked his car. Turning, he noticed a reflection in his mirror. He looked at Marinette.

"Is everything ok, Piglet?" She asked seeing the frown appear on his beautiful soft skin.

"A warning light has just appeared on my car. Here's the key to my dorm room, go and get the game loaded up while I check this out." He gave Marinette the key and she made her way up the elevator.

"Hi Adrien." Kagami walked over to him. "So who's the slut?"

Adrien flinched at her wording.

"I don't appreciate you calling my friend that."

"Just a friend, huh? I saw you kissing her. That's not what friends do." Kagami was getting angry. Adrien didn't want to do this now. He'd had a great evening with his friend and didn't want to spoil it.

"Listen, Kagami I don't want to do this now. We've split up, you need to move on. We were toxic to each other, it just wouldn't work."

"At least I'm not a fan girl just trying to get in your pants!"

"You don't even know her!" He shouts out in response before calming himself down. "Message me Kagami and we'll meet up to talk this through. Just, please, don't wait round for me." Adrien left Kagami's cold stare and made his way up to the heart melting smile from Marinette.

"Games loaded. You ready to lose?" Marinette announced as Adrien stepped over the threshold. He took his coat off and hung it up on the rack placing his hand out for her lucky charm.

"I now possess all the power I need." He picked Marinette up and dropped her on the sofa.

They play one more tournament, this time with no cheating. Adrien wins.

"I would like to thank Miss Marinette for allowing me to use her lucky charm." He takes a bow and she hits him with a cushion.

"Keep it. It looks good on you. Ok then winner, where am I sleeping?"

"In my bed ..." Adrien started.

"What?" Marinette squealed with her eyes wide open.

"Not with me! I'm going to sleep out on the couch."

"That I can do. Well good night then. I've really enjoyed myself." Marinette gave Adrien a hug. She was so tiny his arms almost wrapped round her twice.

"Me too." Adrien kissed the top of her head. "Good night, Mari." He lets go and she leaves for where he indicated his room was.

"Good night, Adrien."

She walked into his room and closed the door behind her.

Adrien collapsed on the couch looking at the lucky charm bracelet.

"Lucky charm." He shook his head and laughed to himself. He'd met an everyday Ladybug.

Pulling out a blanket and wrapping it around him, he fell asleep entering dreams centred on girls with midnight hair.
