  "A-Adrien? What are you doing here?" Marinette asked as a blush creeped up onto her cheeks. Her heart hammering against her chest.

  Adrien turned around in what felt like slow motion. The sun seemed to hit him just right as the birds sung their last song of the day. She stared dreamily as his jade green eyes sparkled and his pink lips curled up into a smile.

  "Oh, hey Mari. I happened to be nearby so I stopped to get something." The blonde waved at his friend. Considering his lady held no hard feelings against the girl at the moment, he was still friendly with her.

  He had noticed her snarky attitude all day but she was also in a bad mood before Dakota showed up, according to Nino that is. Dakota also didn't want to come in between their friendship as the girl really didn't do anything to her but stare.

  Didn't mean she wouldn't put the girl in her place if it came down to it.

  "You should've told me you were coming. I would've made you something fresh." Marinette laughed softly as she played with the end of one of her ponytails.

  "Ha my bad, I'll let you know next time I plan to stop by. This time was just a spur of the moment." He smiled the same friendly smile he always did. It's not as if it was forced but it wasn't the most genuine. It was the type of smile that kept people at bay.

  "Here's that order for you sweetie." Marinettes mother smiled sweetly to the young man she was so fond of. She knew her daughter liked him and wished they'd get together, but he knew the look of someone that only saw you as a friend. It's not as if she could force him to like her only child, she could only console her daughter when the time came.

  Which was any second now.

  "Ah, thank you Mrs. Dupaing-Chan." Adrien took hold of the large bag of baked treats. It was enough to feed three to four people. He thanked the father also before turning to leave.

"Ah wait Adrien. How about you come upstairs, I want to show you something." The bluenette asked sweetly. Her shy look gave an innocent type of cute to it.

"Oh, sorry I can't. I'm actually kinda—This place is really cute." His sentence was cut short by the sound of the bell. Indicating someone opened the door. A soft voice cut through as she admired the small bakery.

Marinettes breath hitched. If it wasn't for the girl showing up, she would've completely forgotten that they were hanging out after school. If anything, she figured it was something the brown skin girl made up. Finding her delusional for thinking Adrien would want to hang out with a total stranger.

Her mind tuned out the noise around as she watched Dakota look around. Her parents, being the kind people they, enthusiastically told her about each pastry. Giving her samples of things and blushing when she complimented them. Adrien leaned against the counter as he watched. A loving smile danced on his lips.
