Can't Resist This || MariChat

The bluenette felt her heart soar with joy; she honestly didn't know how to react.

"Are you ready to accept this?" He murmured to his girlfriend, forcing Marinette to delve in thought for a few seconds. After her thinking process, she gave Chat a small nod.

As Chat slipped the engagement ring onto Marinette's ring finger, she couldn't resist smiling. She felt incredibly happy with him, but she couldn't help thinking once again.

I wonder who he could be under that mask.. hell, I could be engaged with a pedophile for all I know.. Marinette's beliefs contradicted each other, but she attempted to ignore them. She snapped herself out of her daze as Chat leapt onto the frame of her window.

"M'Lady, I apologize for being here for a short period of time. I, unfortunately, have some plans scheduled for tonight.. in regards to my civilian life, that is." He hesitantly said, knowing what was to come. Regardless of tonight's dreadful schedule, he waved goodbye to Marinette, quickly kissing her on the cheek. He abandoned her bedroom and used his staff to navigate swiftly out the window, as well as to return to Agreste Mansion in almost an instant.

"Father!" The blond haired model heard his voice echo throughout the Agreste Mansion; Adrien walked through the front door in case his dad attempted to find him guilty of anything possible.

In that moment, his father skidded into the foyer, catching Adrien's attention. "Hurry up! We're thirty minutes late because of you!" He frantically exclaimed. "Go get dressed, be thankful Natalie already had the limousine prepared!" Gabriel shoved his son a tuxedo and sprinted back into his office, most likely to get ready himself.

What a hypocrite, Adrien thought, mentally rolling his eyes. He leisurely walked into his bedroom to get dressed and about fifteen minutes later, Adrien and his dad were ready to go.

Adrien took his father's hand as they left the mansion, busting through the entrance's doors. As planned, Natalie had the limo parked on the little street directly in front of their mansion.

Despite Adrien dreading this party his father and him were attending, he assumed Natalie deserved some praise. "Nice!" He gave her a soft smile and a thumbs-up. To his surprise, she returned his grin, and better yet, Adrien could tell it was genuine. In no time at all, they got into the limousine and drove off to the 'fancy' dinner they were attending. Once they entered, the mayor was waiting for them with his daughter, Chloé.

"Mr. Agreste," The mayor frowned, clearly unamused with his late entrance and another subject. "Earlier today, we overheard that your son is engaged to a girl named Marinette. Is this true? Is this true that he's been engaged with this girl, in secret, for nine months?"

Chloé shook her head at the thought of Adrien dating Marinette. The blond haired girl clung onto Adrien, awaiting his affection. He gently pushed her off of him, Chloé responding with a subtle 'hmph.' Adrien refocused his attention to his father and the mayor speaking; something that he heard triggered his senses.

"Separate your son away from that baker girl. If you don't? Your industry will go down into flames."
