Marinette noticed there were tears in Adriens eyes. Had he truly never heard those words before? Did he really have no one to tell him how amazing he was? 
"Oh Adrien-" she got up from her chair and sat next to him. Once again more concerned for his feelings then her own, ignoring the intense fluttering in her stomach. He wrapped his arms around her and gave her a hug, and Marinette all but melted in his arms.

"Adrien," she said against the folds of his shirt. "Yeah?"
"I- I want to be here for you. You can talk to me ok? It doesn't matter what i feel." Marinette said that last part to herself, but Adrien caught on. It was then that he realized his feelings for her. Whatever feelings he still had for ladybug, he didn't feel them in this moment. Or maybe his feelings for Ladybug were his feelings for Marinette.
"What- do you feel?" He asked cautiously
"W-what?" She responded, pulling away slightly.
"I care what you feel. It matters to me."
"It- it does?" She asked, practically burning at the face. How was she supposed to tell him she loved him? And why now? Adrien nodded. She could tell from his eyes that he really did care. His eyes- the vibrant green with small streaks of yellow, like dandelions in a field of grass. They were enchanting, mysterious. There was a certain darkness in them that only made her deathly curious, a longing to understand. She was staring into them now. So entranced by them that everything around her simply faded away. No one had ever looked at Adrien with such depth before. He longed for more of it, more of her. The beauty of kindness and joy sitting before him, only inches away.

"Marinette I-" he was cut off by Marinette who, in a burst of confidence, had closed the distance between them and kissed him. Adrien was taken aback, but didn't resist, since that was what he intended to do. Every butterfly that lived in Marinette's stomach exploded. How could one be so gentle yet passionate at the same time?

"Do you think she did it?" Sabine asked, crouching outside Adriens door with her husband. Tom put his ear to the door, listening. After a few moments he pulled his ear away.
"One hundred percent." There was a small flush on his cheeks.
"How long should we give them? 5 seconds?"
"Oh come on darling its her first kiss. I say 10."
"And thats why my father never liked you Tom." Sabine said, glaring at him. He just blinked.
"Alright fine. 7?"
"Seven works."
"Alright. Ready?" She asked. Tom nodded, holding the tv remote.
"1....2....3....4...5...6...7 Go!"
Tom pushed the button and the tv flicked on, volume on full.

The two jerked apart, the sound startling both of them.
"Oh my gosh-" Adrien said, chuckling nervously.
"I uhm- i sh- should go." Marinette stuttered.
"Its late and you need sleep." She said, avoiding eye contact.
"You need some too." He said. She nodded and stood up.
"Ill make sure to get some."

Adrien had hoped to ask her to stay but he knew that was too far. So he let her go as she left through his door. Closing it behind her. Once she was gone Adrien fell back into his pillows with an exasperated sigh, and uncontrollable smile on his lips and a hot blush on his cheeks. He rolled over, and shoved his face into the pillows. Plagg flew out from his spot below the bed where he had phase through marinette's purse to talk to Tikki.
"Thats my boy" The kwami said. He plopped on Adriens head, his small body being enveloped by the hair and munched on a wedge of cheese. Giving Adrien a supportive pat on the head every now and then.

Marinette struggled to keep her cool as she slipped behind her parents watching Tv on the couch. By the time she got to her room she was practically shaking. She ran to her bed, and squealed into the sheets.

"I did it Tikki! I actually did it! And he kissed me back!- oh my gosh he kissed me back-" She spoke to herself, only realizing this now.
"Tikki he kissed me back!!!!" She practically yelled at her kwami. However Tikki just sat on her shelf and smiled at her. What am i going to do Tikki! I won't be able to look at him the same again- "

"Don't forget about Chat noir." The kwami squeaked.
"What? What about Chat Noir?"
"You kissed him- so hes coming back remember?"
"Oh- oh right. Chat.... noir is-"
A feeling bubbled in her chest as she said his name. Merging with the horrible nerves from Adrien, it physically hurt.
"Chat- noir No! Nononnono why did he think that was a good idea! That only made it worse! I still like both of them that didn't help!"
She fell back into her sheets and groaned.
"Tikki what am I going to do?" She wined.
"I think you should get some rest, and think about it in the morning, you don't have to worry about it now." She said, patting her on the head. Although Marinette knew she was right, she couldn't help the thoughts of the boys in her head. She tossed and turned but could not sleep. She sighed, pulling a blanket with her, Marinette climbed up to her balcony.
