also i just wanted to say THANK YOU ALL SM FOR EVERYTHING, i LOVE just walking down the lane at 7am, switching on my phone and coming back to the HUNDREDS of messages and oneshot requests from y'all (honestly i legit have been HIT by a wave of requests so just for my own sanity and wellbeing i've put all requests on hold because DAMN IDK IT WAS GON BE THAT MANY, i'll resume them soon or at least when i get towards the end of this book). 

ILY ALL TO PIECES YOU LIL BEANS, I COULDNT DO ANY OF THIS WITHOUT YOU ALL AND I CANT THANK YOU ALL ENOUGH- THE RANKINGS OF THIS BOOK IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! ranked #705 out of 9.1k stories under 'Lust' and #466 out of 9.6k stories under 'Marichat', which has made me SO HAPPY I LITERALLY SCREAMED FOR 5 MINUTES STRAIGHT WHEN I SAW THAT 

(honestly i need to calm my hyper ass down and get some therapy-)

Marinette's POV:

"Well you both are going to have LOTS of explaining to, Dupain-Cheng and Agreste" A familiar voice resonated around the room, I instantly whip my head around, not caring I had hit Adrien in the eye with my hair as I turned, and saw Alya framed in my kitchen doorway and seemed to be..... FILMING?!

I snatched her phone, stopped the recording and re played it-;I was surprised about how long she had been standing there filming me and Adrien- who was in a daze and seemed like he was in his own world daydreaming- making out against the faw wall of the kitchen. 

I wondered for how long this crazy bitch ad been stalking me and Adrien ever since we both revealed our identities and became much closer than before, fortunately the answer was right under my nose- literally- Alya's phone buzzed and a notification from her Adrienet- WHAT- "WOAH WOAH WHAT IS THAT!? GIRL YOU ARE GONNA HAVE WAY MORE EXPLAINING THAN TO DO THAN ME AND ADRIEN COMBINED'' I practically shouted at her in anger, honestly I love Alya to pieces, she's been my absolute best friend since 8th grade and I couldn't have done LOADS of things without her, but sometimes I wonder if her brain even functions well.

I understand that she is kinda happy (well I guess she is, even though she shouted when she caught me and Adrien together...) that I've finally gotten more myself around Adrien and that we've gotten closer than before how we were in 8th grade, however she REALLY needs to control her curiosities and not get in too deep with all the details between Adrien and I. Ever since the reveal she had gone completely INSANE and started making a new blog behind my back about this whole 'Love Square' thing- trust me I'm no expert when it comes to romance so I had absolutely NO clue what this was all about.

"I guess it's probably time to tell you what's been going on the last few weeks... soo head to the Cafe?" I asked, she and Adrien agreed as we all made our way out, I had completely forgotten that my ankle still hurt like hell and without surprise Adrien lifted me up and carried me in his arms while discreetly kissing my forehead lightly, earning him a peck on the cheek in return.

Alya's POV:

I honestly feared Marinette finding out about the secret Love Square blog I had made, and now she knows I'm practically so fucking scared- literally FEARING for my life at this point. The three of us make our way back to the Cafe without a single word. We got our seats and sat down, staring at each other as if we were total strangers until Marinette finally opened her mouth to say something. I was half expecting her to reach across the table, slap me and lecture me about the shit I had made and probably ditch me. Sweat trickled down the back of my neck, my throat dry as I braced myself for Marinette.
