Please, Forgive Me || ADRIENETTE

15. Flashback 6.

Days have gone by since Adrien and Marinette had been paired for the cooperation project. With Marinette's designer knowledge and Adrien's modeling skills, they decided to make a 'couples Halloween costume'. Featuring LadyBug and Chat Noir.

It was truly just like how the kid's storybook described it to be, just with a few modifications Marinette added to give a little kick to the costumes.

She went all out; an actual extending baton and a red and black polka-dotted yo-yo. Even Adrien couldn't deny that he was impressed.

Being the strict scholar Adrien was known to be, he made sure they finished this project as fast as possible, procrastination wasn't in his dictionary. So all they needed to do was wait to present.

Even though the two were finished with their project, that didn't stop Adrien from constantly turning his head whenever he would see a dash of raven hair, following after her like a puppy.

Behind their usual bickerings, nobody had suspected the enemies' relationship to have changed. But it has. More than they could ever imagine.

It was after school, that Marinette had said her goodbyes to her friend, while Nino and Adrien were on the side talking before they needed to part ways. The two boys glanced at their girls who were giggling a few feet away, and once Marinette waved her best friend goodbye, she began walking in the direction of her parent's famous bakery.

As for Alya, she stood still, turning to Nino, waiting for him.

"Well, that's my cue." Nino smiled.

Adrien tilted his head, confused as to what he was talking about, and why he was now walking away towards Alya. "Where are you going?" Adrien called out in a question.

Nino shrugged, "dropping Alya off home." he simply replied, before reaching to the fiesta brunette with glasses. He snaked his arms around her shoulder, bringing the girl closer to him, as they smiled at the lonely blonde.

"Hey Adrien," Alya called out with a sly grin on her face. "Word of advice, if you don't wanna die alone, how about you learn a few moves from Nino!"

Adrien rose a brow at her statement, a disgusted look on his face as he had absolutely no idea what she was trying to imply.

Learn a few moves from Nino? he scoffed. Is she bragging or something? He hadn't even confessed yet.

But before Adrien could give her a snarky reply, Alya pointed in the direction of the bluenette who was walking alone down the street. "Go get 'em tiger." she snickered as the two both began to walk in the other direction.

They had left Adrien in a confused state, yet his eyes just stared at Marinette the entire time. "...Go get what?" he mumbled to himself,

But before he could put two and two together, a slick black car rolled into the school, and stopped right in front of the blonde, hearing a grunt from his gorilla driver. As he reached for the door handle, Alya's words began to scream at him in his head, mocking him as if he were a man with absolutely no game.

He couldn't deny that his looks and brains were the only thing he had going on for him though. He showed his affection through... aggressive ways.

Adrien turned to Marinette, who was slowly increasing the distance between them, and like a lightbulb lit above his head, suddenly a great idea ran through his mind.

He slowly let go of the door handle and took a step back, which caused his driver to glance at him with a confused stare. "Tell father I'll be walking home today." Adrien smiled.
