Marinette POV:

I wake up pressed to something warm. I look up and see that the warm thing is...Adrien?! Oh and he's asleep. He's really cute when he's sleeping. This--this isn't good. I mean, this is great but I don't think that my heart can take it. It's when I shift in my seat that I notice his arm around me. Oh geez. Now I really can't take it. I blush furiously and shift some more. He then stirs. "Oh. Hey Mari. Did you sleep well?" He asks after opening his eyes.

I look away. "Y-yeah. Thanks." To distract myself, I check my phone and open up the picture that Alya sent me. It's a picture of me and Adrien sleeping. In a very intimate position. I mean, I know that Adrien's arm was around me but I didn't know we had gotten that comfortable! I look up and see that Adrien's looking at my phone and I yelp in alarm.

He looks surprised. "Whoops, sorry about that Marinette. I take it that you've seen Alya's photo?"

I nod dumbly in response.

"Yeah," He chuckles, "I wonder why it's such a big deal? Either way, I'm not mad. I even put it as my lock screen." He pulls out his phone and shows me his screen. It takes all of my willpower to not jump for joy. I'm on Adrien's lock screen!

I look behind me and see Alya and Nino sleeping with Alya's head on Nino's shoulder. "Ah! Look! They're so cute!" I whip out my phone and take a few pictures. I then turn my attention back to Adrien. "So...ah...what do you wanna do? They're sleeping and I can't go back to sleep. Do you have anything in mind?"

"Actually, yeah. I wanna talk to you about what you said. Y'know...with the scarf and jacket thing?"

I nervously fidget with a loose string on my sweater. "O-oh. That. That was just an...erm...slip of the tongue? I meant to say jacket. Sorry about that."

He looks skeptical but lets it go. "Ok. If you say so. By the way--"

He's cut off by Mlle. Bustier. "Class? We're here! Since today is our 1st day, you all can do whatever you want. Just make sure to stay in your groups. Have fun!"

Adrien POV:

Damn. Why can't I ever get a chance to seriously talk to Mari? I'm always interrupted or she always finds a way to change the subject. I guess I'm just gonna have to let her bring it up on her own.

"Whoo!" Alya exclaims. "Finally! I can move! Hey, how about we go to the beach today? Swim, sunbathe, swim."

"Woah," Marinette asks. "Weren't you sleeping like, two seconds ago?"

"Correction: I was resting my eyes, dearie. Anyways, are you guys up to it?"

Nino and I nod our heads in agreement. It surprises us all when Marinette agreed as well. "Why not?" She said.

Alya grinned. "Great! Let's go set our stuff down and off to the beach we go! C'mon Marinette." Alya grabs her arm and drags Mari towards their room. She narrows her eyes when she notices that Nino and I are following them. "Why are you following us? Go to your rooms!"

I laugh. "We're a team, remember? Our rooms are connected."

"Good thing for that, too." Nino groans. "Who else would carry your impossibly heavy bags?"

It's then that the girls notice that we are holding their bags. "Oops!" Alya giggles. "Sorry 'bout that, boys! Thanks though." Marinette and Alya reach over and grab their belongings.

"Yeah. Thanks." Marinette whispers as she grabs her bags. Her fingers brush over mine and I blush at the sudden contact.

"No...No problem, Mari." I whisper back. We stay there for a few seconds, just looking into each other's eyes. Have hers always been so beautifully blue? Before I can ask, our moment is interrupted by Alya.
