'I know you do. So when we grow up, let's live together in the bakery.'

'Why do you want me to live there?'

'Because I like you, Adrien. Let's marry when we grow up.'

You propose to me first and that made me happy. Because that's what I wanted to do to you when we grow up.

'Okay, Marinette! It's a promise!'

'Okay!'

The smile on your face was so bright. You are an amazing girl, Marinette.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

After their reunited celebration, Adrien went upstairs with Marinette to sleep. Marinette refused to sleep with him because she was embarrassed to sleep with him. She never would've imagined it but now it's happening for real. While takes off his white jacket and his scarf, Marinette refused to see him because her face was red as a tomato. 

"Hey, Marinette. Why are you refusing to see me? Are you shy?" he says as he chuckles. 

"N-No. I'm just...just..." says Marinette as she stops.

"Just what?" 

"YES I'M SHY AND I'M RED AS A TOMATO AND I DON'T WANT YOU TO SEE THAT! AND IT'S MY FIRST TIME SLEEPING WITH ANYONE NOT EVEN A GIRL SO THAT'S WHY I'M SHY TO SLEEP WITH YOU RIGHT NOW!" as she closes her eyes and opens when she was done speaking.

"Haha! It's okay. I didn't sleep with anyone too. Not even with a boy. So don't worry. We are the same situation right now. So take of your jacket and come here next to me and lie down. Hmm.\, Marinette?" says Adrien as he pats the bed to tell Marinette that it's okay to sleep with him.

"O-Okay then." she says as she takes it off and still blushing.

Marinette still refused to see her because she was blushing much more harder because Adrien told her to take off the jacket and come sleep with her. 

'He told me to take it off. He told me to take it off. Oh my god! HE TOLD ME TO FREAKING TAKE IT OFF!'  

"What's wrong, Marinette? Why aren't you facing me? Are you still mad at me or still shy? Can't you just tell me now?"

"No, I'm not mad at you. It's just that I'm still shy and I thought that you are a figure to me that I can't close enough to. You are in my school and you were my friend but I never knew and imagined that you are going to be this close to me and I just can't believe it and also I think that I'm taking you away from the modeling. So I'm just frustrated at myself." says Marinette as she faces forward. 

"Marinette, look. No one knows who they will end up with or who they will be with in the future. These are the things that you can't predict or you can make sure. So this is not your fault. You can imagine anythings, it's just that you can't predict it. So face me, Marinette. This is reality and not an imagination." says Adrien as he looks forward too.

Marinette then took courage and turned her body towards Adrien with her closed eyes. As she opens her eyes slowly, she looks at Adrien who was smiling at her. Then she smiles at Adrien back and Adrien hugs her tightly. 

"I missed you, Marinette. I wanted to say this in front of you and the real you. I love you, Marinette." says Adrien as he closes his eyes to sleep.

"Me too, Adrien. I love you." says Marinette as she closes with tears at the tip of her eyes.

The next day, when Marinette woke up, Adrien wasn't there by her side. But his clothes were there. She gets up from her bed and ties her hair to a bun and goes downstairs to see her parents and Adrien preparing breakfast. 

"You should've had woken me up, Adrien."

"Sorry, you were sleeping very deep so I couldn't wake you up." says Adrien as he gives yogurt to Marinette. 

"Good morning, mom and dad. Did you sleep well?" 

"Yes. But you should've had asked us first. I was pretty jealous that you didn't say good morning to me firstly because now you have a boyfriend." says Mrs. Dupain-Cheng.

"Boy...friend?" 

"Yeah. Aren't you guys in a relationship? I thought you were because Adrien was totally fine with sleeping with you yesterday night. And so I thought you guys were in a relationship."

"Mom. I don't know if we are b-but don't say in front of him. It's em-embarrassing." says Marinette as she grabs some croissants from the basket and puts in a bowl.

Adrien looks at embarrassed Marinette and then chuckles. She was cute to him. He couldn't resist anymore and so he said the fact that he knew.

"Yes, Mr. and Mrs. Dupain-Cheng. We are in a relationship. We have been for a while now. Right, Marinette?"

"W-What?!" 

"It's true. You had a crush on me and I had to and our past was special too. You promised that I can live in your bakery right?"

"Y-Yeah but t-that doesn't mean right now. Y-You just can't say that right now. T-This is not a right time."

"So you mean that I can say this later? You said this not the right time."

"Yeah. Wait! No, wait, I mean... umm..." 

"You are so cute, Marinette." says Adrien as he grabs one side of her cheek. 

As Mr.Dupain-Cheng finishes the scrambled eggs, he divides equally to everyone and Mrs.Dupain-Cheng arrange the plates. Adrien and Marinette sat down at the table, side by side and in front, Mr. and Mrs. Dupain-Cheng sits. 

"Eh bien, je voudrais avoir. (I don't think google translate is right tho)" says Marinette and Adrien.

After breakfast, Marientte went out of the bakery with Adrien to go visit his house and his mother. Marinette was holding his hands but Adrien could feel that Marinette was nervous because she was shaking so much.

"Marinette, I can feel your hands shaking a lot. Are you okay? Are you nervous?"

"Huh? Yeah. I'm just so nervous. What happens if she doesn't like me? What happens if I'm not worth for you? What happens she says to get out of the house?"

"Marinette, you will be just fine. Because I know my mom will definitely will like you in person.I always talked about you when you weren't here. She says that she thinks that you are a good person. So don't worry. You will be just fine. Trust me okay?" says Adrien as he holds her hadn much tightly.

"Okay. Let's go. Our future is just ahead. Right, Adrien?"

"Right, Marinette. Now shall we go, Princess?"

"Why of course, Chaton."

As they goes into Adrien's house, they hold each other's hands and smiles big. When they opened the door, his mom was waiting and Marinette totally got confidence after hearing his words.

'Right. Our future is just ahead.'

They finally got to Adrien's house to meet his mother. Adrien was all excited but Marinette was still a bit nervous but she got better after what Adrien told her. Mrs.Agreste was understanding and Marinette liked that point about her. She was nice and so much honesty and so much humor towards them so Marinette could laughed a lot. Will their future be just fine after meeting Mrs.Agreste or will their future be kind of hard?
