Of Gods and Royalty

Chapter 39: Don't Tell anyone!

Adrien's POV
We went inside and sat with Kagami and Luka. Marinette told me Alya and Nino had gone to visit his Grandmother who was Chinese. I didn't know he was Chinese but brushed it off. I wasn't supposed to think about people tonight as Mari had firmly told me. She was quite demanding and I felt bad for having to deal with me. So I just sat there peering down at my menu. Our joint hands hanging limp under the table. Mari shifted turning to me.
"What are you getting?" She asked placing her own menu back on the table.
"The spaghetti looks good. You?" I said choosing the food I think I'll be more able to eat with one hand.
"I think I'm going to get a salad." Handing our menus to Kagami and Luka who didn't get any due to the fact that our class was so big we took them all.
"That's not gonna be very filling." I told her frowning.
"You don't get these guns from nothing." She flexed her bicep. There indeed was alot of muscle. I chuckled and flexed my own. "Pfft! Mines bigger." She laughed.
"Nope no way." I clentched my muscle more.
"Yo, Alix!" Mari called to other table. "Who has bigger guns?" She flexed more and her arm looked like it could go strait through the table with little effort. Then I realised something. It probly could.
"Go girl!" Mylene called from the table beside us.
"Mari by far!" Alix gave us a thumbs up. "Sorry Adrien, nice try. No one can take on Dupain-Cheng." She laughed.
"No fair!" I poked her arm that was now relaxed. It still felt really strong. "I'm coming to work out with you sometime."
"Stepping up to the big leage Agreste?" Chloé chuckled from her table. "Still Mari where did you get those?" She motioned to her toned arms.
"I train real hard with... you know who." She inclined her head.
"Of course should've guessed." Chloé giggled turning back to talk with Nathaniel. I thought for a moment. Did Mari tell Chloé? Why though... I stopped myself knowing I was thinking to deeply again.
"Who?" Kagami asked for me.
"Oh, sorry! Just a good friend of ours." She smirked for some reason. Kagami then turned to Luka and started to chat. I turned to Mari she was tapping her fingers against the wooden table.
"What are they like?" I suddenly blurted out.
"Who?" She asked raising an eyebrow.
"The heros." I waited as she stopped tapping.
"I'm not supposed to discuss this with you," She took a deep breath. "But if you promise to not tell anyone I'll say a little bit for you."
"I promise, I'll never speak of your role in this nor what you tell me." I said holding up my hands childishly. She smiles at my motion.
"Who do you want to hear about and what?" Her lips quirked as she stopped. Knowing she threw me off slightly.
"What do you and ladybug think about Chat Noir?" I asked throwing her off. Her face went bright pink.
"He's flirty, annoying at times but loyal and kind." As she spoke her face seemed to light up with adoration. "I'm not supposed to have favourites but if I could it'd be him."
"What's Reina Rouge like in real life? Chat said she was a bit of a pain in suit." I asked making her laugh. "What?" I demanded.
"Reina Rouge is-is... sassy, quick, stratigic and by my reconing dating Carapace even though they bicker all the time!" She blurted laughing. "Chat Noir and Ladybug are her idols, Chat was just being a bit rude when they met." I felt my ears heat a little. "Was not!"
"Was too. Didn't like the new heros when they met before the Bactiria battle." She laughed.
"I said it out loud?" She nodded and I face palmed. "Of course." A waiter came round and dropped off our food. Mari looked like a hungered wolf. She ate all the salad really quickly then sat scraping at a single left over leaf.
"Want some?" I asked sliding my plate closer to hers.
"I can't." She said reluctantly tearing her gaze from the steaming mound of spaghetti.
"You on a diet or something?" I chuckled. "Honesly you don't need it."
"No, I mean I can't." She picked up her fork alkwardly. "I'm right handed." She lifted her right hand along with my left. I took her fork. "Hey give it back!" She tryed to grab it as I twisted it in the spaghetti. I shoved it in her mouth.
"How is it?" I ask. She nods wide eyed.
"Really good." Thats how the night went on until we went home and scrawled out on the bed full and tierd.
