We Are Miraculous - Miraculous Ladybug and Chat Noir

*Marinette's P.O.V*

"Right then, class!" Ms.Mendeleieve shouted across the noisy classroom. It was just before lunch and she wanted to give us an assignment. "We are having a fundraiser-"

"Woooo!" Kim shouted across the class, the teacher just ignored him.

"And you will have to work in pairs to raise money-"

"I'm with Adri-kinssss!" Chloe shouted from across the class.

"Miss Bourgeois! Sit down and let me finish!" Ms.Mendeleieve shouted "now, as I was saying, you'll have to work in pairs. I have arraigned them for you. Now listen carefully. Alya and Nino, Chloe and Lila, Juleka and Rose, Sabrina and Max, Alix and Kim, Mylene and Ivan, Nathaniel, you may join whatever group you'd like."

Some of the pupils sighed, whereas others cheered. The pairings weren't that bad, everyone was with someone they knew...I think. "You may now move seats for this task."

I moved to sit next to Adrien, I wonder who Nathaniel was going to work with. He gave is a glance but then decided it'd be better to work with Sabrina and Max...was Adrien scowling at him?

"Right, so what're we going to do?" He asked.

"Well, my parents own a bakery, we could sell cakes and cookies?" I suggested.

"Wow, girl, you're actually keeping your cool!" Alya shouted from behind me.

"Yeah, you usually freak out around us." Nino laughed.

I rolled my eyes and faced Adrien again "you could come over to my bakery after school and we could try and make something?"

"That'd be great! I love cookies and cakes and sweets and -"

"Adrien." I snapped my fingers, he seemed to go in a daydream, about food, just listing loads of different kinds. "What's our backup plan? If everything goes wrong with baking?" I asked.

"Well...you're good at making clothes, we could sell somethings that you make...I could help by modelling some?"

"I thought you'd had enough with modelling?"

"Yeah...but if I need to then I will..."

I blushed slightly "thank you...l-lets just f-focus o-on baking f-for now." I was doing so well!

"Only if I get some of the things we're baking." He smiled at me, making my heart skip a beat.

"Y-Yeah, s-sure." I had to bite my tongue to stop the girly giggles coming out.

Adrien and I started planning different designs for the cookies and what ingredients we would use for the next lesson.

****************

After school, Adrien came by the bakery and to no surprise, mom and dad were offering us loads of cookies and other treats, which Adrien accepted every time. "What, I don't get to eat many treats at home...'models diet'." He said as he stuffed some cookies in his mouth.

How did I not know he was Chat?

"Marinette? Ms.Mendeleieve said that our project is due in by Monday, that means that we've got this weekend to make them, right?" Adrien asked me, now eating a slice of cake.

"Yeah...how about we make them on Sunday evening so that they're fresh? We can make a practice batch now?" I suggested, picking up the flour.

"That'd be great!" He smiled at me, making me become flustered and trip up as I was walking to counter throwing the flour, covering Adrien.

"I-I'm sorry! I t-tripped up, I-I d-didn't m-mean to!" I apologised and passed him a towel but he just laughed.

That's the second time I've seen him laugh since we've met...

"It's okay." He chuckled, shaking his head so that a cloud of flour came off his head. He put his hand in the bag and threw a handful of flour at me before laughing again "now we're even."

After a couple minutes of us just standing and laughing, Papa came into the kitchen with a tray of croissants. "Marinette, Adrien, if you need anything, don't be afraid to ask...I brought you some croissants in case you get hungry." Papa smiled at us before placing the tray on the counter.

"I see that you're having fun, just try not to make too much of a mess, please." Mom said, standing in the doorway.

"Thank you, we won't." I smiled before shooing them away.

****************

It took us a while, but we finally got around to actually baking some cookies. "You can take these cookies if you'd like, I can easily eat more...since I live in a bakery..." I laughed nervously.

"Really? Are you sure you don't want anyone else to try them? Alya...Nino?" Adrien asked. I bet he was actually meaning Chat Noir.

"Well, they could try some too, yeah...how about you take half then?" I suggested.

"Thank you...but I doubt Nathalie would let me eat them, and father would get angry too..." Adrien looked at the ground.

"Are you sure you don't want them? I mean...you could sneak them...you're looking a bit thin." I poked his stomach before jumping back and blushing "I-I'm sorry! I-"

"You're right about that...I think I might." He smiled and put the cookies in his bag.

I smiled back before looking at the clock. It was already eight p.m, we'd been baking for hours! "Time flies when you're having fun," Adrien said from behind me.

"You got that right." I replied, taking the last croissant, but just as my hand went for it, so did Adrien's, making our hands touch. I pulled my hand back and apologised before giving him the croissant. "Take it, I can always make more."

"Thank you, Marinette...I should really head home now...I bet my ride's here already." Adrien waved before walking out of the bakery. "I'll call you!"
