It has a happy ending....right? {COMPLETED}

Chapter 13

As Adrien sat in Marinette's bedroom, after convincing Chloe to sleep on the couch, he noticed the smell of expensive wine enters his nose. Marinette stood with two glasses of wine balanced in between two fingers, and a long bottle of Ramnista in the other.

"Mari, how did you afford this?" Adrien asked, remembering the expensive label from a dinner party with clients. Marinette almost immediately started panicking. There was no way a part-time job at a family-owned bakery could pay for this. An excuse left her lips as fast as it crossed her mind.

"My grandmother got it for me while travelling, she gave it to me when I turned 18," She lied. She paid for it using the money stolen from a bank a few weeks ago. Adrien nodded, agreeing with the subtle lie and taking the glasses from her hands and placing them on her desk and pouring the wine into each cup.

A few bad choices and half a bottle of Ramnista later, Adrien and Marinette were giggling at whatever the other said. Adrien's drunken flirting skills had somehow managed to convince Marinette to kiss him, though Marinette was a part of convincing herself.

"Adrien, I have to be honest, you kind of look like Misterbug," Marinette slurred her words, her body swaying back and forth as she sat on the bed with Adrien.

"That's because I am him, see?" Adrien led her hand to his ears, her finger searching for the cold metal earrings.

"Really? Well, I am Ladynoire, a pleasure to meet you," She mocked a fancy, snobby voice while bowing.

"Then I'm gonna arrest you," He smiled, pointing finger guns at her as she lazily threw her arms into the air. "Pew pew," His voice imitated a 7-year old boy, playing with his toy guns.

"Adrien, I'm going, to be honest," Marinette gave up the facade, placing an arm on his bicep. "I really like you, and I did in high school too but..." She paused, letting out a small hiccup from the alcohol. "I don't want you to be in trouble with other people who have it against me,"

"I really like you too," He smiled. The smell of alcohol filled the room, making the moment appear more intoxicating to the two.

The smell of the alcohol had left through the opened window throughout the night, leaving a smell of vaguely familiar cologne.

Cologne?

Marinette never wore cologne or perfume for the matter. She sat up, rubbing her eyes as she slipped out of bed. The blonde that was sleeping soundly beside her hadn't noticed that his shirt laid on her body until he awoke in her bed, the smell of pancakes coming from the kitchen mixed with small chatter.

"Holy shit. How much did you drink last night?" A voice said faintly, covered by the sound of a microwave cooking.

"I don't know. We drank the Raminsta," Marinette's small voice stood out to him as he pulled his loose shorts over his hips.

"You drank-" Someone else sighed, almost sounding like...... Kagami? But Kagami was last seen with Ladynoire as Ryuko. Was someone living with them Ladynoire? "That was supposed to be mine,"

Mine? I thought it was Marinette's?

"So, did anything happen last night?" Another familiar, yet hard-to-place voice asked.

"All I remember is getting drunk but I woke up to him in my bed shirtless, so I'm going to say yes. Something happened last night," Marinette groaned.

"Oooooh," Another voice cooed. "Tell me everything!"

"As I said, I don't remember anything," Marinette huffed. Finally, Adrien gained the courage to leave her room and confront the gossiping women. The door creaked as it opened. All he could see was Marinette sitting at the table, wide-eyed with shock and looking at someone else.

"Shit. He's awake," A voice whispered. Chloe quickly led Alya out the door, leaving her there until he wasn't able to see her come back in. They could easily say that Kagami lived nearby, their civilian selves didn't know Kagami was Ryuko.

"Good morning," He smiled, entering the kitchen just as the front door closed quickly.

"Morning," Marinette stood up in a nervous panic, attempting to hide Kagami. Though it wouldn't work, there was no harm in delaying his reaction to seeing her. Marinette landed a kiss on his cheek before making her way to the kitchen.

Adrien's eyes landed on the shirt that sat on Marinette's body. "Did you take my shirt?" He asked.

"Oh, yeah sorry,"

"No it's fine, it looks cute on you," Adrien admitted. Marinette blushed, turning back to the sink as she filled a cup with water, Chloe holding back laughter at the sentiment of calling a criminal 'cute'. The girls all seemed to carry on with their morning routines in aloofness, pretending to not know anything that happened and averting their eyes. His train of thought was derailed by the sight of Kagami, searching through the fridge. "Kagami?" The name left his mouth.

"Oh, yeah, Kagami lives around here and she just stopped by to get some food," Marinette explained, keeping her rapid thoughts of panic under control as much as she could.

"O-oh, how has life been treating you?" He felt that recently, he had seen most of his high school friends. First Marinette, then Alya, Chloe and now Kagami.

"Good, do you still see Nino?" Kagami seemed to smirk slightly as she glared at Marinette with a mischievous gleam in her eye.

"Yeah, We are actually living together," Adrien smiled, not thinking of the consequences. If she had found out where he lived, she could tell Ladynoire and possibly find the miracle box.

"Oh," Her voice trailed. "Cool,"

He noticed Marinette quickly turned her attention from her eggs on the plate in front of her to Chloe. "Holy shit." Her face screamed.

Holy shit. Chloe thought.

"O-oh, What does Nino do now?" Marinette stumbled over her words, trying to act nonchalant while getting information out of Adrien. She knew that he most likely had no idea Nino was a superhero but maybe Nino had a side job they could 'visit' him at.

"Until he can find a job for his DJing career, he's stuck at the museum just down the street from here," Adrien wasn't lying, Nino did manage a part-time internship at the museum. Marinette nodded as she pressed her lips together, internalizing the vital information for later.
