You're home. [Miraculous Ladybug Fanfiction] (Completed)

Chapter 20 - Our future

Adrien found himself laying on the comfortable sectional couch. His arms were around another person. Her head laid against his chest, moving up and down whenever he breathed. He had spent the last moment of the evening calming Marinette down, and listening to what she had to say. She explained she found a photo in her camera roll. She felt bad she had forgotten him and everything about him.

The petite woman was in an oversized Jagged Stone sweatshirt and a pair of shorts that were covered up by the length of the hoody. She was asleep, and peaceful.

It must've been midnight but Adrien didn't care. There was to much on his mind. Marinette gained a bit of memory back. How, he wasn't quite sure. That was what he was trying to figure out.

Another thing he couldn't help but wonder was where their life would go from there on out. Where would their relationship go? What did their future hold? Adrien wanted his future to be with the same woman that was passed out on top of him. This girl, the one that saved him from a potentially fatal accident, the one that stole his heart years ago and stole it again no more than two months prior.

He held Marinette closer. He never wanted this to end. She stirred in her sleep but never woke up. Adrien smiled softly and pressed his lips against the top of her head. Moments like these he hoped to never forget.

Early morning light seeped through the curtains. It cast a golden glow against the white walls of the apartment. Marinette's eyes fluttered open. She found herself laying on top of Adrien, his arms holding her in a protective hug. Marinette's ears burned and her cheeks turned red. The events of the night before came to mind. He had been comforting her till she fell asleep.

She lifted her head to get a better look at him. His eyes were closed, lips slightly parted and his hair was messy, much like Chat Noir's. She laid her head back down gently against his chest. The thumping of his heart soothed her, but it wasn't enough to get her to fall back asleep.

His scent lingered around whenever she inhaled. He always smelled of the slightest hint of cheese. And you know how each person you meet has their own distinct smell? Yea, his was something that brought her comfort. It reminded her of an "American dream" home. The two car garage, the white picket fence. Kids playing in the yard, wife cooking a homemade meal while the husband is just getting home from work. Somethings are definitely worth remembering. This was one of them.

Her restlessness must've woken him up because she heard him lift his head.
"Good morning princess." He said, his voice tinted with an early morning grogginess. She lifted her head again, cheeks still red. He chuckled at her blush.
"G-good morning." She lifted herself up, but Adrien kept his arms around her.

"Don't leave yet." He looked up at her with wide eyes. Marinette stayed still, holding her plank just inches above his chest.
"You're warm and I'm not ready to get up." He smirked. Marinette's blush disappeared, pursing her lips. She let herself fall back down against him, feeling a small surge of victory as he made a breathless "oof" noise.

Their child-like play was interrupted by Marinette's phone vibrating against the table. She sighed and rolled off of Adrien and onto the floor. She sat up straight and answered the call.
"Girl! You won't believe this! Nino's family has a cabin beach house! They said we can bring some friends along!" She said happily. Marinette, who still didn't have all her memories had to think for a moment.
"Hold on Alya, where is it?" She asked, earning a confused look from Adrien.

"Saint-Marine, Brittany." She replied. "So? Are you two up for it?" She seemed to guess that her and Adrien were together. She wasn't wrong, but Marinette was just confused how she managed to figure it out so quickly. Marinette turned to look at Adrien.
"Nino and Alya are inviting us to Nino's family beach house. Its at Saint-Marne. You up for it?" She explained, earning a small giggle from Alya.
