Adorable Love: Adrinette April

{26. Meet The Parents}

Marinette was very nervous. Why? Well after she and Adrien has become an item, her parents has insisted to meet him. Sure, her parents already know him, he is a model after all. But they only know the image of him, what they think. They want to get to know him for real.

After Marinette got dressed, she went to the front of her door and started pacing. She is biting her nails very nervously. A bad habit she developed after she and Adrien got together. Suddenly the door rang.

"I'll get it!" Tom said as he  opened the door and there was Adrien, all dressed up. Tom started to kinda stare down Adrien.

"Hello Monsuier Dupain." Adrien said timidly. Then something unexpected happened. Tom started laughing. He pat Adrien's back kinda hard. "Don't be so stiff and loosen up. Come inside and meet my wife." He led Adrien inside and closed the door behind him.

Adrien walked to my side and Marinette gave him a nervous smile. Marinette led him to the dining table. Sabine had just pulled out a pot roast out of the oven as she smiled when she saw Adrien had arrived and she puts the pot roast onto the table.

"Wonderful! Adrien's here! Come and have a seat. You came just on time, so let's eat up quick, before the food gets cold." Sabine told everyone as she handed each of them a bowl of rice and then proceeded to give herself one before she sat down.

While eating, Marinette's parents decided to ask Adrien a few questions. "So", Sabine began, "What about Marinette caught your eye?" Adrien swallowed the food that he was eating as he thought for a few seconds before he replied.

"Underneath all the clumsiness and the shyness, Marinette is a wonderful girl. She is willing to do whatever to keep her friends happy. She is brave, kind, compassionate, and smart. She doesn't let anything get under her skin. Marinette is a girl anyone would be lucky to have. She is one of a kind and I wouldn't replace her for anything." Marinette could feel the blush creep up on her cheeks. Tom and Sabine were nodding pleased at Adrien's reply.

"What had you thinking you were good enough for her?", Tom asked.

"No one is good enough for her. I just so happened to come in second place." Adrien said with a smile on his face while Marinette could feel her cheeks getting hotter at her boyfriend's response to her father's question.

Suddenly, Sabine asked the most embarrassing question yet. "How did you find out that Marinette bascially worshipped you? She had a shrine to you, after all."

Now Adrien's cheeks grew hot. "It was kinda accidental." Adrien rubbed the back of his neck nervously. He didn't know how to respond to this question because they were kinda Ladybug and Chat Noir during this time.

"Well, me and my friend Nino were doing a school project together and he started dropping hints about Marinette liking me. I was clueless during that time. After the project was finished and we had to present, he suddenly pressured me to ask Marinette out. So, I did. After two weeks, a friend to my friend accidentally told me about Marinette's obession about me," Adrien replied.

Soon, everyone was done eating. While Sabine decided to clean up, Marinette and her father decided to play the very game Marinette was famous for. Adrien, being the good and polite boy that he is, decided to help Sabine. At first Sabine didn't want Adrien to do that and wanted him to have fun with her husband and daughter but Adrien insisted.

After Adrien was done helping Marinette's mom, he went to go play with his girlfriend and her father. He played against Marinette multiple times and lost multiple times. He even teamed up with Tom Dupain and Marinette still won! It's scary how Marinette is the one good at video games and not him.

It started getting late and Adrien had to get home. After getting multiple hugs from Sabine, Tom, and Marinette, he started to go out the door. Before he could fully go out, he gave a kiss on the cheek to Marinette. Adrien winked and started heading home. Marinette held the cheek that Adrien kissed with her hand as she closed the door with a soft sigh.

"Adrien is a wonderful guy, who I know will treat you well", said Tom. He proceeded to give Marinette a hug and went to bed along with his wife. Marinette was glad that things went well in the end and her parents liked Adrien as she yawned before she went to sleep.
