Unconditionally

ch. 8 // you're so dramatic

"And all I ever wanted was to be enough for you."

-

Marinette's POV: 

"Adrien, do you want me to teach you how to fold the batter?" I say with a smile. I figured he wouldn't know what I was talking about, since he grew up having chefs and servers, but it was still cute to watch him try. 

"Yes, I'm sorry... I just don't know how." He says looking at the ground. 

Adrien can get really upset when he doesn't know how to do certain "normal" things. I guess not knowing how to bake is one of them. 

"Don't be sorry, I'm glad to teach you. Here!" I say with a smile, trying to make him feel better. 

I put my hand on top of his hand, and help move the whisk in the correct motion.

He smells AMAZING. My knees start to feel weak and I can feel myself getting more anxious because I'm so close to him. But luckily he got the hang of it, so I decide to let go before I pass out. 

"See, you're better than Alya already! She got more batter on the outside of the bowl then in by the time she was done mixing it." I say. 

It's true, the girl cannot bake to save her life. And last time I checked practically ANYONE can bake. 

"Like this?" He takes his finger, puts it in the batter, and wipes it on the tip of my nose. 

I can feel my cheeks turn pink. 

I'm frozen, I can't move. 

What would Chat do right now? Probably play back and make a cat pun. But we can skip the second part. 

"No more like this." I say taking batter on my  finger and putting some on his nose. 

"Hey!" He says grabbing and picking me up throwing me over his shoulders. "This is what you get."

"Adrien, PUT ME DOWN! You started it." I say kicking my legs and laughing. 

I'm no longer mad at Alya anymore. This is the best day of my life.

After 40 minutes of messing around and eating raw macaroon batter,  Adrien gets a call from his father's assistant. Adrien has to go home for dinner. 

"Marinette can you get my bag out of the fridge, I think your mom put it in there so my food wouldn't go bad." Adrien says taking off his apron and chef hat.

"Oh yeah." I walk to the fridge and ask, "So who is the lucky lady you're getting these for?" 

I want it to be me.  

I had him his bag and he says, "I can't tell you.. but she is one of the most amazing girls I've ever met!" 

It's definitely not me.

Adrien POV:   

As I leave the bakery, I wave Marinette goodbye, and she smiles and walks upstairs. 

After I get in the car Plagg comes out of my pocket, "I don't care what you said when you first met her, your not just friends. I could hear your heart beating from your pocket." 

"Plagg, I love Ladybug. But Marinette seems to be acting differently around me.  So maybe if there was no Ladybug, I might see Marinette differently, but tomorrow is my big day! Ladybug will finally be mine." I sit back into my seat with confidence. 

"Whatever, you talk too much sometimes. You gonna feed me or what? We were in the best bakery in Paris, I didn't get to snack on anything." Plagg says.

"Shut up, I'll feed you at the house." I say laughing at how ridiculous he is. 

Marinette POV:   

"ALYA CESAIRE WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU" I yell once Adrien shuts the bakery door. 

"Hi honey, how was Adrien." My mom says giving me a nudge and a smile. 

"Omg mom he was just helping me bake, totally NOT a big deal." I say flicking my hand. 

"Righttt, not a big deal." I hear Alya say coming down from my bedroom.

"Whatever Alya can I talk to you upstairs. NOW!" I say grabbing her hand and starting to walk, not waiting for an answer. 

I hear her and my mom whisper "team adrinette" behind my back. I just roll my eyes and open the door to my room. 

"Ok, so Adrien said he bought those macaroons for a special girl, the MOST amazing girl he has ever met. Who could that possibly be? Him and Kagami are broken up, and it's definently not Chloe. Do you think its Lila!? No Lila won't be at school tomorrow, so that wouldn't make sense. Maybe he likes Juleka? UGHHH ALYAAAA" 

"GIRL" Alya says putting her hands on my shoulders. "One Juleka is literally lesbian and everyone knows it, why would Adrien be giving her a Valentines day gift?" 

"I don't know maybe he doesn't know." I say trying to make sense of all the craziness I just rambled off. 

"O-M-G your ridiculous. Anyway, two you already ruled out Kagami, Lila, and Chloe. So who is left?"

"I don't know!" I say with a pout.

"YOU dumb dumb, it's obviously YOU. You're the most amazing girl Marinette. Everyone including Adrien, knows that!" 

"Alya there is no way it's me." I say crawling up to my bed. "Now if you don't mind me, leave me alone to die." 

I plop into my bed and wrap up in blankets. 

"Oh no you don't!" Alya says climbing in after me, now sitting at the far side of my mattress. "You never gave the deets about your time with Adrien." 

''I don't wanna." I say muffled since my face is shoved in my pillows. 

"You're so dramatic, come on!" Alya says. 

"Fine! I say lifting my head up and sitting criss cross facing Alya holding my stuffed animal in my lap. 

Sorry I haven't updated in SO long. I'm gonna try to be better about it. Luv you guys <3
