The prince's assistant (MLB AU with lunar chronicles)

Meeting cute

Being employed by Cinder had been the best thing that had happened to Marinette in a long time. She hadn't exactly wanted to get a job. Her Mother had been having a very hard time finding customers after the new bakery had opened in the fall.

"MARINETTE! EARTH TO MARINETTE!"

Marinette was painfully jolted back to reality as Cinder looked at her critically.
"I had heard you were a natural at understanding droids, but I am beginning to wonder if you actually are!" Cinder cried, clearly frustrated.

"Sorry Cinder" Marinette said.
" Don't be, I was just as cloudy as you are when I was younger, but there is only so much you can do about that eh?" Cinder was feeling nostalgic. Her step mother had put a stop to, as she liked to call it, Cinder-land, very quickly.
" Marinette, just be careful, I don't want to have to hire someone else."

Marinette quickly got back to work tinkering with an android when she heard Cinder talking. She looked over to see prince Kai standing talking to her. Cinder seemed different, almost embarrassed, Marinette had never seen Cinder embarrassed.

"Hey, what's your name?"
Marinette wasn't sure who had said it but responded with
"Marinette dupain-Cheng what's yours?"
She looked up as she said it, finding her self face to face with a boy with blonde hair and startling green eyes.

" Adrien, Adrien Agreste. Nice to meet you Marinette."

" ummmm" She was so lost in his green eyes she forgot what what she was saying "how can I help you today?" She said after quite a long pause.

" Oh I am here with the Prince" Adrien replied. "I am his..." Adrien was struggling to find the right word. Friend, bodyguard, helper?
"Assistant" he decided.
"Oh, well I am here all week every week, so you now where I am" Marinette said.

As Adrien walked away he found Kai, who was mumbling something about whacking his android.

But Adrien was already thinking of something else. All Adrien could think of was Marinette Dupain-Cheng
