Reader's POV

Life in Paris has almost become second nature, almost.  School seems to be getting a good grip on me, I'm finally improving in French with Marinette and Ms. Bustier's help.  The hallways were filled with students holding pink, red and white envelopes filled with letters to their valentines.  Speaking of which, I've been bugging Marinette for the longest time to not chicken out on her promise.  She said that she'll confess her feelings to Adrien today....I bet you dollars to freaking DONUTS she forgot tomorrow was Valentine's Day.  Nonetheless, during our free period before the final bell, I catch her working on a card for him.  Mari's really creative.  I mean extremely creative.  I bet we're on par with it if we'd ever just draw whatever we think of.  Her card was a pink and white folded heart with a.....I shouldn't say long-winded confession, more like heart-felt to me from what I could translate.

Dearest Adrien,

For these past few years, I've been by your side

As I look into your vast green eyes

Talking with you after class

Working on projects, movies, among other things

All while what words leave my lips

Among the stutters and freezes

I hope in my mind

Will eventually make the pass

Your long blonde hair

Kind and reserved

In my heart, hopes this letter seems fair

To confess the way I feel

Without making a big deal

Even if you don't feel this way

My only desire is to say

Three simple love desired words

Adrien Agreste,

Though my body sees no rest at your presence, please know

I love you, not just on this day

But all

With Love,

Marinette Dupain-Cheng

'And this girl said she doesn't understand poetry?  HA!  Even more, how the HELL did I just translate all that!?  Guess the tutoring is really paying off.' I thought

"Do you think he'll like it?" She asked

"Hm?"

"The poem, I-I mean.....I've never written one till today. Is it good?"

"I can't make that decision; it all comes down to the author."

"Just....at least look it, over will you?"

"Sure."

I gave her poem my once-over.

"In my opinion, it seems really well thought out and meaningful.  If he doesn't like it, then he's the dumbest cousin ever." I chuckled

Marinette laughed.

"Thanks (Reader.)"

"And you said you didn't understand poetry." I smirked

"Oh-....s-s-so w-what if I gave it a shot?"

"I think it suits you, with work you'd make a good poet.  Fashion designer-poet, Marinette Dupain-Cheng; quite the pair."
