A Perfect Match for Adrien Agreste

First Date

Pink, so much pink, Marinette must have forgotten to bring anything other than pink clothes other than her formal dresses, which were blue, red, and black. "Ugh, Tikki, I don't know what to wear, I literally only brought pink shirts or shirts with pink accents. Why didn't I think to pack anything else!" Marinette fell onto her bed as she looked for something to wear to tonight's date with Adrien.

"Marinette, you love pink, plus you've been a bit out of it trying to get ahead with your schoolwork before coming here and then the akumas," Tikki said to her holder, shrugging her shoulders, "you are also a fashion designing queen and the holder of the miraculous of creation, make the most of it!"

"You are right Tikki, I think I can probably do something with at least some of this."

Sitting up and moving back to her closet Marinette pulled out a heather gray, long sleeved, cotton dress, with hand-stitched pink cherry blossoms around it in a swirl from the top left shoulder to the bottom hem. Pulling it on, she pulled her hair up in two twin buns on the top of her head, reminding her of her time as multimouse when she fought Kwami Buster all those years ago. No one would know about multimouse or what happened that day since Chat was the only person who had seen her when she given the miraculous back to herself, to save face and her identity. She giggled thinking about the ruse she pulled over Chat Noir's head that day, what a dummy.

"Okay, Tikki, what do you think?"

"Are you sure it's a good idea to dress like multimouse, even though it's been years since you were her?"

"No one saw me that day, plus, I wear my hair in pigtails and keep my raven hair as a civilian and no one has identified me yet, I think it will be fine, Tikki."

"If you say so Marinette. Otherwise, you look great, beautiful like always, Adrien will love it!" Tikki squeaked before flying toward one of the pockets at the side of the dress, "plus it has pockets!" Both Marinette and Tikki giggling at the exclamation.

"Ms. Dupain-Cheng, Adrien is ready for you. He is waiting at the top of the stairs. When you come out, they will begin filming immediately, so you can walk down together." A voice, which sounded similar to the stoic Natalie instructed from the other side of her door.

Grabbing the knob and opening it to see Natalie, as expected, standing hands behind her back, face expressionless. "There you are. You are ready, good. This way."

Marinette felt her knees buckle and her eyes widen so far it hurt when she saw Adrien. He was dressed in a tight long sleeved black sweater with dark wash skinny jeans and cognac leather mid-ankle boots. His usually styled but flowing blonde locks were swept back, exposing his high cheekbones and chiseled chin, but more than that, his already beautiful eyes looked larger and greener than ever. She was swooning so hard; she didn't know if she was going to make it through this date without completely embarrassing herself.

"Marinette, you look beautiful," Adrien smiled, grabbing her free hand, kissing the back of it lightly.

She could feel the heat rise in her cheeks; her smile was so big that she knew she looked like a total dork. Adrien Agreste is never going to like me I'm acting so ridiculous! Come on Marinette, be Ladybug and get yourself together! She gave herself a mental pep talk, finally being able to get out a small hi and thank you, before looking away.

"Shall we go then? I have a few fun things planned and then a stroll along the Seine, if that's okay with you?" He asked, seeming a little nervous, his right hand finding the back of his neck.

"Sounds purrrfect," she said, slapping her hand over her mouth, Oh My God I did not just say that, that dumb cat and his stupid puns. Why am I even thinking about him when I'm literally going on a date with the hottest guy in Paris, plus Chat's an ass and he's trying to still my miraculous!
