Day 32

Their alarm didn’t go off. It wasn’t like Marinette had meetings she had to be at or Adrien had training to attend.

But Marinette had meeting she had to be at and Adrien had training to attend.

Their Love Dare time was very unfortunately scrapped.

“Tonight,” Adrien promised, pulling her in.

“Toni—”

Adrien smashed his lips on hers before she could finish.

“I love you,” he whispered, pressing a kiss to her cheek. “I love you.” He kissed her other cheek. “I love you.” Her nose. “I love you.” Her lips again.

She grabbed his cheeks, pushing him away. “I love you, too, kitty.”

He grinned, stole one last searing kiss from her, then ran out the door.

“Tikki,” Marinette said, looking at the door with a dazed look. Her heart was roaring and her head was surprisingly light, curtesy of that last kiss. “Please pinch me if I get distracted on the road.”

Tikki rolled her eyes. “You’re going to be late if you don’t get a move on!”

The kwami smiled. “You were the one who was willing enough to do it. I just offered a little guidance.”

“Still,” Marinette argued. “Thank you, Tikki.”

Tikki floated down to rest in Marinette’s hand. “You’re welcome.”

Marinette brought the kwami up to her face, pressing Tikki against her cheek in the best imitation of a hug she could give.

“So,” Tikki began. “I know you and Adrien are adamant about your Love Dare time together. However, I actually would like to warn you of this love dare beforehand.”

Marinette frowned. “Why? What is it?”

“Nothing bad,” Tikki assured. “I just thought you might like to prepare for it before tonight.”

Despite her brow being furrowed in confusion, Marinette reached for her journal and opened it to the right page. “Okay,”
