I'm Glad Is You

Chapter 8

Marinette's POV

I had been to Adrien's house a few times on rare occasions but I had never been able with Adrien in his room before, and after the events of last night I felt we needed to talk about the nature of our relationship.

Once we entered Adrien's room I went over to his couch and sat down taking off my small purse that had Tikki and a couple of cookies for her. Adrien soon closed the door and came up next to me blushing slightly most likely much the events of last night are still on his mind as they were on mine.

"So I guess we need to talk a bit about last night huh?" He asked slightly nervous as was I

"Yeah I think we should" I said still a but nervous " So um...look Adrien I really love and care about you but if you don't want this type of relationship with me could you please tell me now. I know you said you love me too but I want to know. Do you want to be my boyfriend?" I said quickly and closed my eyes waiting for his reaction

I finally opened my eyes after a minute or two of silence to see Adrien is a tomato with a shocked look on his face

"Dammit I was supposed to ask you that question Mari, oh Alya is gonna kill me, but yes I would love to be your boyfriend" he said quickly still bright red which was kinda cute

"Don't worry Adrien we can lie and say you asked me, but I do have another question. Last night it seemed like you knew what you were doing have you ever done anything like that before...with Kagami?" I asked feeling a bit self-conscious I probably shouldn't have asked him that

" If I'm being completely honest Mari I haven't done any of that with anyone. Everything that happened with you was a first for me and I just did what felt right" suddenly I felt a bit special since I was the first person he did any of that with

I tackled him and pushed him onto his bed wrapping my arms around his neck and kissed him. He was shocked at first but soon responded to the kiss it was short and sweet but conveyed a lot of emotion. I pulled away smiling as I laid my head on his chest while his arms were still wrapped around me, I could hear his heart beat and its rhythm matched mine. Suddenly I had the urge to tease him a bit

"You know Adrien I'm glad last night I could get that type of reaction out of you, but if I'm being honest you shouldn't be so scared of my boobs" I said moving to straddle his waist ,forgetting I was wearing a sun dress, while he put his hands on my thighs underneath my dress.

"Mari please don't I can't deal with that right now ok Nino literally made fun of me not that long ago" I could tell he was embarrassed so I let it go and got and off of him decided to explore his room a bit while he went over to his couch and turned on his tv most likely looking for a movie for us to watch.

I noticed a remote hear his trophy's and picked it up I thought it was to the tv so I pushed a red button only for a piano to suddenly pop out of the ground I guess it surprised Adrien as well because I noticed he jump a bit as well.

I moved over to the piano and saw a picture of his mother and a picture of Adrien and I on his piano he must have put that there a while back because we both looked about 15. I sat down on the bench and opened the piano and ran my fingers softly over the keys. I felt Adrien sit next to me and started to play something, it sounded odd at first but as he continued playing I started to find peace in the music. "What song is that?" I asked wondering why it sounded so sad yet peaceful at the same time

"It's called Love's Sorrow by Kreisler, there's two parts actually Love's Joy and Love's Sorrow" he said with a small smile on his lips

"You played that entire song from memory wow I'm impressed." I said but something dawned on me if there was a song called Love's Joy and Love's Sorrow how come he only played the second one. I decided to ask him curious about his answer

" Well, my mother loved the second piece and always played it so I heard it often that's why I had it memorized, but the reason she played the second one was because she didn't want sorrow to seem as scary. So I guess I kind of inherited her thoughts about the song" he said as he finished playing the song.

He continued to play the piano while I decided to listen and lean against him as he played suddenly he played this song that seemed really sad, I couldn't put it into words but I could feel so much emotion I had no idea music held so much emotion.

As he played I watched his facial features and his hands as they danced along the keys I could feel the music inside me and so much emotion built up I hadn't realized I started crying, but I couldn't fully understand why.

Finally when he stopped playing he opened his eyes and looked over to me tears still streaming down my face while I still didn't fully understand why I was crying in the first place

"Oh Mari, you ok what happened?"

"I don't know actually I don't really understand what happened either, um what piece was that?" I asked really curious as to why that piece seemed so sad and lonely

"Oh its Chopin he's a really famous pianist I entered one of his competitions a while back and played this piece sadly I was up against really top notch players so I didn't place well but was the audiences favorite. The song is Chopin Balled Op 23 No 1 in G minor."

He explained but it didn't tell me why it sounded so lonely and why I suddenly started crying out of no where.

" Its one of his saddest pieces I don't know the whole story behind it but since it's in a minor key it sounds kinda sad. See look I'll show you a minor key like G minor is going to sound sad and a major key is going to sound more happy and upbeat most pop songs are in a major keys but others are in minor. Look this is a major triad" he said then played a chord that sounded that sounded strange and out of place "it's also known as a minor 7th I could teach you more but frankly you look a bit confused already" he was right I was confused

I never really understood music but I could learned more for Adrien I always thought he only played piano because his dad forced him but it seemed he really enjoyed the piano "You should play with Luka more often I heard he plays violin you guys can do a duet" I said making him slightly suddenly I got an idea

"How about we played Ultimate Mecha Strike 3 so I can kick your butt for confusing me with piano talk" I said while standing up and running over to the tv to turn on his game system.

"You are so on I will defeat the ultimate champion this time" he yelled running over to the couch and picked me up to sit on his lap as we played games me winning every single time only allowing him one or two wins here and there.

Today was going perfect and I honestly couldn't have asked for a better way to spend my day I just hope our perfect bubble doesn't burst so soon
