Destiny

Fluff for Fluff's Sake [Sleepover]

The akuma attack lasted no more than an hour. It seemed this time it was a disgruntled singer who couldn't get the right casting for her music video. The Akuma was an interesting one to say the least, everything they said had to rhyme, which was fine for Adrien but Marinette ... well ... It took her a while to get into the swing of it.

They ended up handcuffed together and dancing, just another quality showing to Paris how perfectly in sync the heroic duo were. They danced together like pro's even having the news camera's suggest they take part in the next 'Dancing with the Stars'. Chat, of course, signed himself up, whilst Ladybug politely declined.

They sat lying on the sofa, Marinette between Adrien's legs, as she played with his Miraculous. Twisting and spinning it around his finger. She loved having the warmth of his body behind her, especially after going a few weeks without him.

"So, tell me Ms. Dupain-Cheng, what did you do whilst I was away so you didn't miss me too much?" She smiled knowing that everything she had tried to do she'd ended up crying herself to sleep when she got home, missing him more than she ever thought possible.

She called herself clingy, Avery told her she was 'in love'.

"I went out with Avery and her friends a couple of times. They're a fun bunch." She felt Adrien stiffen behind her. She turned her head to look up at him. "Don't be like that Kitten, you're the only one for me." Stretching her neck a little further, she kissed under his chin.

He smiled, but she knew it was fake. One thing she noticed with Adrien was he never got jealous, he got worried. So going out with Avery and her friends wouldn't make Adrien green with jealousy, not at all. She could go out with who she wanted, dance with who she wanted, but he would always worry she wouldn't come back. Like he wasn't good enough, which really was insanely ridiculous. She loved every tiny speckle of him, and as soon as he said it first she would jump and say it back.

"Oh, I forgot," she sprung out of his lap, stumbled over the edge of the sofa and kicked the coffee table. "Ouch!" She exclaimed, grabbing her foot and jumping around.

"The hero of Paris everyone!" Adrien announced, pretending to clap her and sound out cheers. She grabbed a cushion from her bed and launched it at him, hitting him unsuspectedly square in the face.

"With a killer shot." She tagged on.

He started laughing, launching the cushion back towards her as she fumbled around looking for something.

She'd been out shopping with Alya and they'd picked up a magazine with a '21 questions to ask your lover' quiz. Well who was she to say no to that?

"Ah ha!" She shouted out. Grabbing the magazine and launching herself back into Adrien's lap.

He grabbed hold of her tightly around the waist as the couch creaked under their combined weight, both just waiting to see if they dropped. They held their breath, before beginning a slow count backwards from ten. Finally, they reached zero and breathed out noisily.

Couch 2 - Marinette and Adrien 1

The comeback had finally begun.

"So, I was out with Alya and we saw this magazine. There's a quiz in there, and she said she does a lot of them with Nino so I thought maybe we could do one together. You know, to get to know each other more." Marinette rambled.

"I don't know if that's a good idea." Adrien replied, wrapping his arms around Marinette to hold the magazine and open it up. He rested his chin on her shoulder and she almost fainted from being around his smell. She really could eat him.

"Why not? This is what you're meant to do at sleepovers." She sulked, giving him a really good try at a puppy pout.

"The reasons are quite simple really, I don't want you to dump me."
