"Adrien could you please hand me the laces from that drawer?", Marinette requested the blond boy, whilst she worked on the dress.
They both had three more days to finish off their work. Everyday after school, they would get to work without delay, with the Dupain-Cheng bakery delicacies by their sides.
Adrien nodded, who was currently munching on a croissant.
"You know, the other day, Nathalie was scolding me like crazy for feasting on such high calorie food.", he joked, all the while making his way to the cabinets.
"Well, we do own a bakery, Adrien. So you can't expect mama and papa to not feed you.", Marinette answered, laughing slightly.
Adrien loved it here. Marinette was now comfortable enough around him though she did still have her fair share of flustered moments. Nevertheless, her sassy, confident side was showing and he loved it. Though, even though he wouldn't admit it, he did miss having an effect on her.
Her attitude reminded him of ladybug. Sometimes the similarities were so uncanny that he would go as far as to admitting that his subconscious part of the brain had already accepted the fact that ladybug and Marinette were the same person.
"Which one was it again?"
"The first one."
He opened the drawer and rummaged through it. It was filled with various boxes, each to serve for a different purpose. Some small, spare pieces of fabrics scattered inside as well.
Adrien opened the boxes, one after the other, looking for that particular lace that he knew Marinette needed. How does he know? They shopped together, duh.
He shifted some boxes to reach out for the ones at the back. Finally he found the one he needed. He took the lace out and tossed it to Marinette, who caught it effortlessly, without getting distracted from the work at hand. Such a ladybug-y quality.
He was about to close the cabinet when something caught his eye. The sight made his breath hitch.
Taking the box in his hands, he studies it's features carefully and in utter disbelief. The small, black, wooden box was hexagonal in shape and had an ancient Chinese design on its lid in red.
It was a box that Adrien knew about all too well.
