RECAP

(With that the blondes disappeared and left Adrien back to the fitting.

It had been an hour and 45 minutes now. The seamstress just left the place. The clothes were now perfect.

Before the two teens came, the seamstress put up these dividers so that the blonde and the bluenette can get dressed.

Adrien was getting almost done getting dressed until he the door to the divider opened to see....)

Marinette.

REWIND 5 MIN

Marinette was done changing. She didn't know what to do. She felt the desire to go up and give Adrien a chance. They were growing closer now. And now it was falling.

The petite girl got up from the chair, left the little fitting room/divider and was now in front of Adrien's fitting room. Stood there, pacing back and forth, debating if she should knock or open the door. She put cupped her ears and put it against the door. Maybe no one was in there. No noise. She had to find out. So she opened the door. Only to see a model. Adrien Agreste.

"I-I OMG! I thought no one was here and wanted to make sure and uh I-I didn't know you were here I'm so sorry!!!" Marinette said closing her eyes and turning away from Adrien who shirtless. Seriously what is up with this guy.

Adrien chuckled, "Hey it's ok. Thank god you didn't come earlie, wait. Not in a bad way. Shoot sorry." Adrien said putting his shirt on.

"I uh it's ok I'm just gonna go." Marinette said walking forward to leave the mansion.

But she was stopped.

Adrien grabbed her wrist and walked up to her. He was now behind her, the bluenette was startled at the sudden action. Marinette turned around, to only see how close they were. Now Adriens hand was gone from her hand. It hanged loosely on his sides. But. Oh! Their lips so close. Bodies touching. Tension grew. They could've kissed.

Marinette zoned out and stepped back,
"Marinette the assistants and seamstresses left a while ago what were you still doing here?"

"I uh we'll see um my earring fell and I was looking crazy for it. Then I found it see!" Marinette lied and showed Adrien her left earring.

"Wait a minute. What are you still doing here?!" Marinette asked.

"I uh see I got distracted on my phone." He was lying. He was pacing deciding if he should talk to Marinette. Marinette nodded and slowly walked back ready to leave.

"Don't go."

"What."

"Gosh Marinette. My feelings right now are growing day by day for you. I need you in my life now. I have no alcohol in my system. Nothing. So I'm saying it now-"

"Adrien don't say it."

"But Marinette-"

"No. Gosh I've loved you since the day you gave me the umbrella. I can't be myself around you. I'm clumsy, stutter, a mess. You cause that. And when you say my name I'm happy, I get butterflies in my stomach. I feel like I'm floating on air when I'm with you. But when you and Kagami started dating, I realized it was time to move on. That was with Luka. Though now I can't leave Luka again. Not break his heart Adrien. And I'm not ready for a relationship. I can't be in love. I'm not enough for you.

Marinette said trying her best not to tear up.

" Before you say something, listen. I'm glad you feel the same way but. But. It's dangerous, with Hawkmoth and Ch-"

"What do they have to do with us?! Marinette you are enough! I want you. All the fucken mistakes I've done were regrets. But I don't regret kissing you and now confessing my feelings. Shit. You drive me crazy Marinette."

"Adrien. I can't. There's Luka and everything. I'm not ready. Wanna know why I couldn't stay with Luka for longer, wanna know why 3 weeks ago I was really distant, wanna know why I can't be with you?! I have this secret. Only one person knows. This secret effects everything. This secret is too much. I can't tell anyone. This secret caused me and Lukas breakup. I don't want that secret to get between us. I'm sorry Adrien." Marinette said looking down.

Adrien walked up, took her hands and held them with his.

"Hey look at me. Talk to me."

"I-I can't. It's hard."

"Okay that's fine. But tomorrow I'm picking you up at 6:00 pm."

"What."

"You heard me. I'm picking you up."

"Adrien. I just pour my heart out and tell you something serious. I told I'm not ready."

"Relax. I understand. We will take it sow and see where everything will go."

"It's not a date."

"Call it whatever you want it's a date for me." Adrien said

Marinette couldn't help but giggle, "You remind me of someone."

"I do and you would that might me." Adrien smirked, knowing damn well she was talking about Chat Noir. The thing was Adrien completely forgot about his feelings for Ladybug. And Bridgette.

"No one! I'll see you tomorrow. Bye Agreste." Marinette said going on her tiptoes. And kissed Adrien's cheek.

"Thought you said we were taking whatever this is slow?" Adrien said gesturing the both of them.

"Oh Adrien, we're just friends. And friends kiss each other on the cheek!" Marinette said and smirked

"See you tomorrow Dupain Cheng."

And with that, the two teens went home with happy faces. They cleared the air. Well one more than the other.

Adrien still has to fix issues with the whole Bridgette thing. And Luka. And most importantly talking to Ladybug. But he is glad that he is fixing his problems like him mother. When he got in bed he smiled the whole time watching Marinette's new YouTube video!!!

But little did he know that once again. In the basement, his mother laid unconscious. In a coma.

Now her right hand twitched. It was her finger now her hand. Something is happening.
