He's Not That Bad

Chapter 10 - Morning Attention

Marinettes pov

        I woke up to the sound of my parents coming in my room. "Good morning Marinette! We're home! Oh- where's Adrien? Did he go home early?" My mama said. I groaned and began fluttering my eyes open. "Uh-- hi mama. No, he's right here-- sorry we watched a movie last night and we must've fallen asleep when we did" I said. She lightly giggled and dismissed it. "oh wait mama before you go, would you mind pulling the clothes in the dryer out and bringing them up here?" I asked. "Yeah, I'll just set them at the top of the stairs" she said before closing the hatch. "good morning, princess" Adrien mumbled. Holy shit his groggy voice is so hot what the hell?! Okay marinette, it's like 7 in the morning. Calm yourself. I thought as he began fluttering his eyes open and softly smiling at me. "morning sleepy head" I said with a light giggle. He softly groaned and clinged on to me tighter, pulling me closer to him.

"Marinettes a very good friend" I remembered. I lightly pushed him off and got out of bed to get ready for school. "Where are you going?" He said, he sounded pretty sad when he said it too. "We've got school dummy, we can't lay in bed all day" I said pulling some clothes out from my dresser. "Mmmmmmmmm but what if we could?" He said, sitting up and stretching. "Then we'd miss school and knowing your father's strict rules, you'd never be allowed to see daylight again" he groaned in annoyance, then climbed down from my bed. He walked over to me, clearly still drunk on sleep. He pulled me into a soft hug, resting his head on my shoulder. I sighed, giving in. I wrapped my arms around his neck and buried my head into the crook of his neck. Almost on cue, some slow dance music started playing from down stairs. "Hey isn't this the song we danced to at Chloe's party?" I hummed thinking, listening to the song lightly. "Yeah, I think it is" I said in reply. He moved his hands to my waist, and began slowly rocking, and turning. I began doing the same. I'm with my crush, in my room, slow dancing with him at 7 in the fucking morning. I thought. After a minute or so, I sadly pulled away and opened my door to see a pile of yesterday's clothes on the stairs.

I picked them up and chucked his outfit at him, then tossed Alya's in my school bag. "There's a bathroom downstairs you can use to change in and freshen up" I said with a smile. He nodded and headed downstairs, greeting my parents.  Closed my hatch, then put a heavy box on it so I could change. I changed into my school clothes, then washed my face with the sink in my room. I removed the box from my hatch, then walked back over to my mirror to fix my hair. "Damnit I didn't take it down last night" I groaned in annoyance and took out my pigtails, then began brushing my hair.

Adrien's pov

I used the bathroom to wash my face, and sloppily fix my hair, then changed out of Marinettes pajamas and slid on yesterday's outfit. I walked back in her room and- woah.. she looks so pretty.. I've never seen her with her hair down I thought, before standing behind her in her mirror. She smiled at me softly. "Welcome back" I smiled and nodded slowly, obviously distracted. "You should leave your hair down more often, it looks gorgeous" I mumbled. She turned light pink, the left her hairties where they were. She wasn't putting them back in? She slipped on her shoes, and I did the same, then we headed down stairs. Her parents greeted us and gave us some breakfast, then we walked out the door. "Why are we leaving so early? We still have like another 30 minutes before class?" I asked confused, as we were heading the opposite way from school. "We're going to go get your school bag, and for you to change if you want to" she smiled and I nodded. Eventually on the way there, I ended up wrapping my arm over her shoulder. When we began approaching my house I removed it and straightened my clothes, as my father wouldn't he happy if they were all wrinkled. We rang the doorbell, and the camera stuck out for a second or so, just long enough for me to wave and for them to open the gate.

I began to walk in then turned around when Marinette wasn't following. "Uh should I just wait here or..?" She mumbled. "Come inside, we won't be long" I said to her with a smile. She nodded and followed behind me. "Good morning Adrien, hello Marinette." Nathalie said to us as we headed towards my room. "I'll just be getting changed and grabbing my bag, then Mari and I will be on our way" I said as Mari and I headed up to my room. Nathalie nodded in reply, as we entered my room and shut the door.
