Adopted - A Miraculous FanFiction

Chapter 3 - Introductions

Adrien's POV.

I saw the BMW pull up outside the house and Mari get out of the car. I was so nervous. 'No.' I told myself. 'You are not nervous. This is Mari, you love Ladybug.'

Marinette suddenly got a shocked look on her face. She looked around anxiously, as she wobbled her way to the front door. I raced down the stairs and threw open the door.

Marinette's POV.

I weakly hobbled towards the giant double doors that were suddenly flung open. I stumbled backwards and almost fell over, but caught myself on Adrien's arm. I looked up into his bright, emerald eyes. My body still on a 90°. He smiled happily, "Hey Mari. Do you need a hand?"

Lifting me back up straight. He gently released me. "Th-thanks Adrien." I stuttered. Nathalie cleared her throat from somewhere behind Adrien. He blushed profusely and stepped to the side. Nathalie, walked toward me, ignoring the moment she ruined.

She stopped in front of me and looked at her tablet. "Ms. Marinette, Mr. Agreste has requested that you join some activities. You will have design classes twice a week, sewing classes twice a week and you can chose Flute, Piano or Singing for an instrument and either dance, gymnastics or netball." I thought quickly, "Nathalie, I will do Dance and Piano. Thank you." She gave me a quick nod and her heels clicked as she walked away.

Adrien turned to me. "So, Mari. I'll give you a quick tour?" He looked at my bags and winked. "Starting with your room?" I nodded enthusiastically and smiled. I followed him slowly up the grand staircase and taking in the polished floors and beautiful detail everywhere I looked.

He turned left at the top of the stairs and gestured to a closed door. "But first, take my hand and close your eyes." I blushed a shade of beetroot red and slowly closed my eyes. I heard him open the door and take my warm hand in his cold one. He slowly walked into the room pulling me along with him and releasing my hand. I heard him slowly walking away and he almost whispered, "open your eyes." My eyes fluttered open and focused on the room. It was decorated pink and filled with a huge canopy bed in the centre of the back wall, delicate pink chiffon hung from the posts. I spun slowly taking in the large desk, with empty design books and pencils neatly organised. In the corner was a gigantic TV and pink couch. I walked over to my bed and fell backwards into it. I gasped when I saw the roof. It was covered in my floral pattern I wore and had painted over everything. The walls were a pale pink and the floor beach hardwood, with a round pink carpet in the centre of the room. I hopped off the bed and dragged my hand along the wall until I reached a door. I curiously turned the handle. I screamed, the wardrobe was filled with clothes, shades of pink and black and white. I ran my hands along the clothes feeling the different textures. I followed it until the end where another door stood. I once again turned the handle to reveal a bathroom, big enough for a king.

When I padded back into the bedroom, Adrien stood resting against the bed, watching me with a huge grin plastered on his face. I raised an eyebrow, questioning him. He shook his head and his blond hair fell back into place.

"Who did all this?" I asked in awe. He rubbed the back of his neck, chuckling. "It was mainly Nathalie, but I had a few things to contribute. I wanted you to feel at home. Do you like it?"

"Adrien, I love it! It's beautiful. Just like-" I was cut off by Gabriel Agreste striding into the room. I checked over myself making sure I was acceptable. "Ms. Dupain-Chang I see you have found your new room. Nathalie will give you your schedule, I hope that you will attend your lessons. Your designs have much potential. With practise, they may even be good enough to work with me. Do not expect to see me. I am very busy. Adrien will show you around."

And with that he turned on his heel and walked back out, slamming the door behind him, Adrien and I flinched at the sound. "Shall we continue our tour? I think my father likes you." Adrien stated.

"Sure." I say smiling. Adrien shows me grand dining rooms, kitchens, movie theatres and everything in between.

Finally we stopped outside his bedroom. "Final stop." He said opening the door for me. I looked around his room, at his rock climbing wall, skate ramp and gaming consoles. "Wow." I say speechless. I, Marinette was in Adrien Agreste's room. "It's so cool! Wanna play a round of Ultimate Mecha Strike III?" I asked.

"Sure." He replied. "I know you'll beat me though." After playing a few games, the pair slouched back in their chairs. "Geez, Mari. You only seem to get better." He smiled at her, making her heart race. "Thanks, maybe you need a few po-pointers."

At that moment a bell sounded. Adrien began to rise. "What was that?" I questioned. "Dinner is ready." He answered. "You hungry?"

"Sure!" I decided.

As I imagined dinner, I thought of delicious dishes and extravagant sides. But it was bland. Salad, meat and potatoes. Dinner was silent. Awkward with Nathalie watching us eat.

After we finished we walked up to the top of the staircase. It was almost patrol time, I kept thinking of ways to be left alone. "This time is usually, just relaxing until time it's for bed." I was grateful for the chance to go and patrol. I wouldn't want to stand my kitty up. "Ok," I responded. "I'll see you in the morning. Good night Ad-Adrien."

"Good night Mari. If you need anything I'm right next door." He waved and walked into his room. Closing the door behind him. I walked into my own room and shut the door behind me.
