Their Closure

eleven

School was like usual, except it wasn't. Adrien flirted with Marinette often, making her blush and stutter. But the big word rang in their heads all day. 'Pregnant'.

After school ended, Adrien ran up to Marinette in the locker room.

"Hey Marinette." He caught her attention.

"Hi Adrien." She turned around to face him.

"Can we go out? Again?" He asked her.

"Like on a date?" Marinette asked.

"Y-yeah.." Adrien mumbled. "But if you don't want to go because of what happened between us..."

"What do you mean?" Marinette asked again. A ball of anger started to form in her stomach.

"Well..since you and I..you know.." Adrien scratched the back of his neck.

"What? Had sex?" Marinette said with an attitude.

"Yeah..had..that.." Adrien didn't know how to speak about such topics.

"You're acting as if we exchanged diseases, as if you're ashamed. " Marinette snapped. "What happened between us was rushed, but it's a natural thing. You don't have to make such a fuss about it."

"I'm sorry." Adrien mumbled. Marinette instantly felt bad. She's never snapped at someone other than Chloe, and that was because she was mean. Why was Marinette acting this way?

"No, I'm sorry." Marinette sighed and held his hand. "I don't know why I got mad. Of course I'll go on a date with you, Adrien."

"Thank you." Adrien smiled. He leaned down and kissed her. "And I'd never be ashamed of sleeping with someone like you, Marinette. I'd count it as a blessing. I'd even wear a badge that says it."

Marinette giggled. "So, when do you want to go on that date?"

"Well, I have fencing in five minutes," Adrien said, "But after that should be fine."

"Are you sure your father, Nathalie, and bodyguard would approve?" Marinette asked.

"No, but, so what?" Adrien grinned and kissed Marinette again.

Tingles flew in their bodies. Marinette couldn't be happier.

"When does fencing class finish?" Marinette asked after they stopped kissing.

Adrien liked the fact that Marinette called his fencing class simply 'fencing class' and not 'your fencing class'. It makes him truly feel like they're in this together.

"Around five-thirty." Adrien said.

Marinette checked the time. "Okay, so I'll be back in two hours." She kissed Adrien on the cheek and they waved goodbye to each other.

Marinette ran home and grabbed a snack on her way to her room. She sat on her desk and immediately took out the school iPad and started her homework. 

After half an hour, Marinette sighed and put her iPad back in her backpack. 

"What are you going to do now, Marinette?" Tikki asked. "We have an hour and a half left."

"Tikki..I..I have to confess something." Marinette mumbled and lowered her head in fear of Tikki's reaction.

"You can tell me anything, Marinette!" Tikki smiled.

"Well...I slept with Adrien." Marinette looked up at Tikki.

"That's okay." Tikki consoled Marinette. "You are rather young, but things happen! It's life, Marinette. You don't have to be ashamed of it."
