Miraculous: Princess At Heart

Chapter 8: Arrival

-Adrien-

After what felt like three hours of sleeping, I fluttered my eyes open and was about to sit up straight when I felt something resting above my head. I turned to look at Marinette who was sleeping. That's when I realized that I was leaning my head on her shoulder while she's sleeping and was resting her head on mine. I blushed at the suddenly realization but I immediately shook my head.

I stirred a bit and gently took Marinette's head away from mine as I sat properly on my seat. Luckily, Marinette didn't woke up so I leaned her head on my shoulder and let her sleep properly. I noticed her earphones still stuck in her ears. I plugged it out from her ears and put it into mine with a smile. I stared at her for a bit but quickly turned away when she stirred her head. Luckily she didn't woke up.

I looked down to where Marinette's hands were resting, and saw that she was holding the book that I was reading earlier ago before I fell asleep. I grabbed it from her and continued reading it until Marinette's awake.

Honestly, this is the best moment I had in my whole life with Marinette. I've been wishing that some day or another, Marinette would actually talk to me in a normal way, without stuttering. It been confusing me all the time. I wanted to be friends with her but everytime I talk to her she would stutter around me. And sometimes I feel like she's scared when she's with me. It saddens me to see that she's talking and laughing with Alya and Nino. But when I start a conversation, she'll stutter and sometimes blush. Tell me what did I do wrong? Tell me!

I closed the book and put it on my lap. I stared at Marinette for a moment as I shove away a loose strand of her hair and put it behind her ears. I smiled when I softly caress her cheek. Her soft porcelain skin, pink-ish lips and blue raven hair. Kind of remind of someone. Lady Bug. I can't wait 'til we meet each other in China. But in the other hand, I still had fun sitting beside Marinette for seven hours.

I grab Marinette's hand and held it on mine, intertwining it together. I ignored the warm pink blush that crept across my cheeks and just stared at our intertwined hands. I kissed the back of her hand and then turned my attention to the window. 3:20 am. I didn't realized the sun has already risen up.

"Good Morning, Marinette." I muttered and then continued reading my book again.

-Marinette-

I woke up by the blinding light of the sun coming from my window. I slowly fluttered my eyes open only to see that I'm not on my bedroom. Oh, right. I'm in the airplane.

I looked around and saw Adrien reading his book from earlier ago. I didn't realize until now that I've been sleeping on his shoulder. I blushed red velvet. My eyes roamed everywhere until it landed on my hand that were intertwined with Adrien's. My eyes widen as my blushed just kept going red. I took a quick glance at him and noticed that he still didn't feel my presence awaken.

I might have say, this is the best day of my life. I-I can't believe this is happening to me. I mean, this is a dream come true. If I'm still dreaming, I wish I wouldn't wake up. But then It would be considered as selfishness. Let--

"Good morning! Are you awake?" I was interrupted on thinking about this amazing moment when I heard a voice asked. I looked up and saw Adrien looking at me.

"Yes." I uttered a word. He smiled at me and closed the book he was reading.

"Good. I've ordered breakfast for the four of us. I just picked out randomly since I don't know what you would like to eat." Adrien said. I nodded at him and smiled awkwardly. You know, our hands are still intertwined with each other. I took my hand away from his. I don't know or it is just my imagination that Adrien suddenly frown?
