The Bargain Part 5 by Summer Cheng@SummerCheng37

          Alya's POV:

          It has been two days since Adrien had me deliver a note to Marinette from him. I noticed that they have been on speaking terms since then. The only, trouble is that she is giggling a lot. I can tell Adrien seems annoyed about it. He has not told her because he does not want to hurt her feelings. 

         After school today, I wasn't busy, but I did not tell Marinette. I went home because I did not want to be a third wheel to her and Adrien. It is obvious those two like each other despite not telling each other as much.

          I worked on homework and got interrupted. I heard Marinette sobbing over the phone. "What happened?" I asked. "A-Adrien told me we could not be friends anymore. I don't understand. I thought he liked me." She burst into tears again. I felt sorry for her. "I will be right over." I hung up and arrived at the bakery shortly. 

          I hugged her. Marinette hugged me. I got permission to stay over for a girl's sleepover. The next day, I left a note on Adrien's locker letting him know how rotten he was. I could not believe he would do such a thing to Marinette. 

            Then, went to class. After school, Adrien looked angry. I saw he had read the note. He walked towards Marinette and mine's direction, but Chole showed up. "Chole get lost. This doesn't concern you," he yelled at her. She left sobbing.

            I left without a word. I heard later Marinette slapped him. Well, good for he deserved it after what he did to her.

             Time skip brought to you by Tikki's Cookies!

           Two years later, senior year was here at last. Senior year of high school Marinette had not spoken to Adrien since the day she had slapped him. He looked at her shocked and started to cry. Then, she left. 

        I wished they would resolve their issues soon. I know they love each other. I sighed.

       Nino and I were together now. It was nice to have something to distract me from the drama with Adrienette.  I sat with Nino. He held my hand. I smiled at him. After school, I went home with him.  I texted Marinette once at Nino's place. Girl, apologize to him. Give him some cookies. 

       Marinette texted me, "I will never speak to that #%$%$^$ ever again!" I was shocked. 

      I did not text her again. After homework, I ate supper at Nino's and then went home. "See you soon," I said kissing Nino's cheek.

       Adrien's POV:

     I tried to tell Marinette how important she was to me.  I must have messed up again.    I did not understand it. Marinette slapped me. I cried and she ran off. Since then she has not spoken to me. I had not spoken to her. Inside I was suffering.  I cared about her. How was I supposed to help her understand when she refused to discuss anything with me? Why were girls so complicated?

      It has been two years since then. I have tried hard to speak to her, but she keeps walking away. At least, Nino and Alya are getting along. It is good for them since Alya deserves to be happy. It is not her fault her best friend is such a confusing person. 

      After school Nino and Alya left together, well good for them. I went to Marinette's. I knew her parents were happy to see me. Marinette still refused to speak to me, so after helping with her homework, I could not stand the silence anymore. I stood up and picked her up out of the chair. I carried her to the living room and placed her on the sofa. I sat in the chair.  "Marinette, speak to me," I pleaded with her. She shook her head.  

      Tom entered the room. "Marinette, this is ridiculous you can't ignore him forever. It is time  you let him explain things to you."  Then he walked away to help Sabine fix the supper.

       "What do you want?" Marinette asked. "I want to explain." "Explain, what you told me you didn't want to be friends anymore," She said. "I did no such thing," I shouted. "Yes, you did," She yelled. "I did not. I only said that you were important to me." I said.  "Important in what way?" She asked. I sighed. She sighed. I pulled her to me.  "A-Adrien?" she muttered.  "I have never felt this way about anyone else," I told her. I could see she did not believe me. I lifted her chin. "Listen here, Marinette, I will never feel this way about any other girl. You hear me?"  "Y-yes, A-Adrien, I hear you," she said.

       I let go of her. She looked stunned. "Would you go with me to the senior dance?" I asked. "Y-yes," she stuttered. I smiled. "Good, now that is settled, here you are," I said. I handed her some flowers. She did not ask where I got the flowers.

         At the senior dance, Alya and Nino danced, Max did the DJ job since his date was sick and unable to come. Kim danced with Alix, Sabrina with Miles, Nathaniel with Chole, Juleka with Ethan (he is a character I made up), Marinette with Adrien, and Luka with Zoe.  The dance went well, and afterward, I took Marinette home. Once on the porch, Marinette sobbed. I did not get it, she knew how I felt so why the tears?  I kissed her.  I could tell she was surprised, but before I could pull away;  she kissed me.  I was happier than I had been in years.

          

 Bonus part:

    A year later, Marinette and Adrien were on a date. They had been dating since the day, they went to the dance and shared their first kiss.   

        Adrien's POV:

        I  took Marinette to a nice restaurant. After supper, I got on one knee, " I love you! Will you marry me, Marinette Dupain-Cheng?"  I asked. She smiled. "Y-yes, I will marry you, A-Adrien!" She said.  I was not sure why she still stuttered since we just got engaged. Anyway, I sure love her.

       "I love you!" I said. "I love you too, Adrien!" She said.

         The two of us were married eight months later on the lawn of the place where we met. The person who performed the ceremony was Kim, since he had passed the marriage performance class.  Tom gave the bride away. My lovely bride, Marinette wore a long flowy white dress and I wore a suit.  I exchanged vows with her, then slipped a ring on her finger, and she slipped a ring on my finger. The two of us, kissed when Kim announced, "You may now kiss the bride."

           I took Marinette to a nice private area for a honeymoon.  The rest is none of your business except to say we are happier than we have been in a long time. I found out a few months later, that Marinette wanted a pet. I brought home a hamster. She was thrilled.

            Two months later, I brought home a puppy. The puppy is named Tikki, and the hamster is named Squeak. I think it is adorable how Tikki does not bother the hamster.  Once a cat, a stray got inside the house and tried to attack Tikki. Marinette fed him. He stuck around, the strange thing is he only eats cheese. I named him Plagg. I  helped train him to leave Tikki alone.
