A Compromise

Good or bad ideas?

Marinette POV

I stared of into space as I waited for Adrien to finish his photoshoot. Last night really did something; I can now talk fully to Adrien without mixing up my words, stuttering, or running away. Adrien didn't really question it which gave me sweet relief. Chat Noir came over and we watched cringey romcom with cookies and hot cocoa. We began yelling at the screen for 5 minutes because the boy was so blind in all of the girl's attempts to get him to notice her(Seem familiar?). I felt close enough to Adrien to talk to him about it and he seemed happy. He also introduced me to some of the designers and makeup artists so I could understand what it was like behind the scenes.

I showed them my designs and they helped me with some ideas that I thought were useful. Now I was sitting on a bench admiring the setting of the photoshoot. The park was right next to the bakery, but we agreed on Adrien's house so we could work on the project longer.

I was admiring a nearby ladybug when I was grabbed from the hand and pulled onto set. My only reaction was a gasp. The lady who grabbed me was one of the make-up artists. She sat me down next to Adrien and applied light make-up and walked away. I eyed Adrien and he laughed like he was in on something that I didn't know. I started to panic. What is happening???

Adrien pointed at something and I tried to look for it. He wrapped an arm around my waist and I froze. A snap went off like a camera. Or maybe not like a camera. It was one. Then everything made sense. "You couldn't have just told me?" I scream-whispered.

"Your face was hilarious." He sounded like he was about to burst out loud from laughing, but kept a calm face. It's the model in him, I guess.

"Are we done?"

"Yeah, the director just saw you and wanted to add another person to fill in the picture." He nodded as the director packed his things and left.

"I wasn't even wearing a designer outfit." I said while looking at my clothing in a nearby mirror. It was an oversized sweater with jeans. Not my best piece of work.

"You'll be fine. They might edit something on to make us match." We grabbed our things and left for Adrien's. The Gorilla was waiting by the exit and nodded his head at me as a greeting. I did it back and he smiled.

Now that I think about it... there were a LOT of akumatizations. With the total of 284 akumatizations. We were NOT going to do that so instead we chose to group them into categories on what types of villains they are and seeing what emotion caused them to be stronger.

It went by smoothly until I looked at the clock. "Oh sugarcakes, I'm never going to be able to sleep in the morning!"

Adrien yawned and laughed. "If you want, you can sleep here. There's no school tomorrow."

"But what about kitty?"

His eyes widened for one second and he chuckled once more. "I can text him and say that your sleeping over."

"Um, sure. But where do I sleep?"

"We can sleep on the bed..."

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE?????????????

"...even though this house is big, there is only 4 bedrooms and they are all taken."

"I can sleep on the couch!"

"No, I could never do that to you."

Why isn't he offering himself up for the couch!? Has he never slept on one?

"I'll just go and take a shower and you can borrow some of my clothes until Natalie comes with clothes more comfortable for you."

"I-I W-W-W-Wha-What-" I'm stuttering again! Oh sugarcakes

"Cya, I'll be quick." He shut the door and left me to my own world.

I'm speechless.

Tikki pops out from my bag. "I don't think he realizes that a girl and a boy sleeping right next to each other isn't a good idea."

"More like it's a bad idea."

"What's the worst that could happen?"

"Oh, I don't know! Maybe I snore, maybe I talk, maybe I sleep-walk, maybe I start spilling my embarrassing crush on him since the second day of meeting him, or maybe I steal the covers, or maybe he steals the covers leaving me to the coldness of his room, maybe he accidentally wrapped him arm around me in sleep-"

"Okay-okay-okay. A LOT can go wrong with Marinette luck, but Adrien doesn't seem like the type of person to judge or do anything indecent, does he?"

"No, your right Tikki. I shouldn't overthink it."

Adrien POV

Was it a bad idea? Maybe. Was it a good idea? Absolutely not. All I know is that I didn't want her to leave. So now I'm forcing her to stay and sleep in the same room, in the same bed, breathing the same air... Okay, maybe it is a bad idea.

Hopefully she doesn't think I'm weird or trying to do anything indecent to her. Now I have a new plan and that involves getting Marinette to like me- Adrien- and not fake dating me, Chat Noir. I took a breath in to calm myself. Having two personas wasn't as easy as it looked.

It's fine it's not like Marinette to judge. I turned off the water and got dressed and opened the door to Marinette on my bed... in my clothes. If I were to say that I wasn't turned on by this, then I'd be lying. She was cute and small in my oversized clothing that it almost hurt. Not hurt by how cute she is, but by the fact that she wasn't mine. I want to flat out confess as Adrien, but she already told Chat Noir she was beginning to not like me anymore, or, at least, she didn't like me as a boyfriend.

As Chat Noir I had a mask to hide my embarrassment, my face, and from my father. As Adrien I have none of that. Honestly, watching my friendship and relationship bars grow lower and heighten...

I don't know how to get this beautiful girl to like me the same way she said she did when she first had a crush.

A/N: Sorry that it's a little bit rushed, I try to spread out my time to write, but right now it's like I'm writing a sentence per day and say, "Ow, my hand hurts," and move on to other thinks like reading Wattpad stories. EITHER WAYYYYYAYAYYAYAY! Thank you for reading this chapter.

*SMUT Will be in a little bit, just have to wait a few more weeks to remember to do so.*
