Discovered

Chapter Eight - Paradise

Marinette smiled. His head was so perfect. The way the sun makes his hair glow... I love him. She was looking at Adrien's head of course. The girl's cheeks glowed with a red more brighter then the others. The red that matched her other identity.

Her smile grew even more, when she thought of the other night. The night filled with a million stars. But no stars were brighter then his eyes. His eyes made her heart flutter like a butterfly on flight. She would never tell him this of course. She only liked Adrien. Not her partner. Even if he reminded her of a child, and had started to get stuck in her mind. The feeling of his hands simply brushing against her waist, left burning fire that spread to her whole body. The wind was so slight that night, that it snacked around their ankles, as they stood, arms around each other. Her cheek was perfectly placed on his chest, that she didn't have to go onto her tippy toes. She had inhaled his faint scent of Camembert, and sighed. She hadn't known how Chat Noir was handling this, but she felt him relax with every spin.
They had been dancing, with no music. The rhythm of their hearts were enough. They were perfectly in sync. The odd time, the boy's heart skipped ahead and made the girl's flutter. Both of the heroes were un-aware of the affect they had on each other. They both knew not to speak,  but rather just hold the other. Their evening didn't need words.

Marinette snapped to attention, as Alya poked her for the fifth time.
"Marinette, whats gotten into you girl?" Her friend smiled, and looked back at the teacher. Miss. Bustier was holding the textbook, and had been pointing at students to read. Quickly Marinette looked over at her friend's textbook, and seen that they were nine pages ahead of her. I was daydreaming for half an hour!! And it wasn't even about Adrien... She frowned, and tried to find her textbook. She rummaged through her bag, but came out empty handed. Where's my textbook? Did i leave it at home! Just as Marinette sat back up, she heard her name being called.
"Marinette, can you please read section 2 for us?" Her teacher smiled at her, and then started to frown when she seen that Marinette had no textbook in front of her.
"Miss Bustier, I can explain." The bluenette started to blush as the majority of the class turned to look at her.

Adrien turned, and looked at the scene behind him. His classmate and friend Marinette was at loss of words. His teacher was tapping her foot and  frowning at her.
"I can explain..." The girl started to fiddle with her earrings. Adrien's eyes met with Marinette's briefly, and then her's flicked away. The blond boy stood up, and cleared his throat.
"Miss Bustier, Marinette lost it at my house when we were hanging out yesterday. She can share my textbook since I'm partially responsible for the loss of her's." He smiled at his teacher and briefly looked at Marinette. She was biting her lip, and looking at Adrien. He winked, and looked back at his teacher. She smiled back at him, and looked back at her blue haired student.
"Try to be more responsible Marinette, that's the third time this week." Miss Bustier resumed her position in front of her desk, and pointed at Alex to read next.
Adrien smiled as Marinette sat down beside him. Nino wasn't here today, so Adrien had a spare spot for someone to sit beside him.
"T-thanks Adrien, I appreciate it." The girl smiled at him, and leaned towards the textbook.
"No problem Mari." He smiled back at her, and moved the textbook into the middle of them. He snuck a peek at her earrings, and frowned. Where have I seen them before? Adrien tried to think of what they reminded him of.

But he kept going back to the evening. Ladybug had never let him touch her before. He usually only got a fist bump or two. He couldn't get the smell of her, out of  his mind. The way she had rested her face on his chest, had sent shivers down his spine. Her hair was running down her shoulders like a waterfall. Never to be tamed. The wind snacked through the Eiffel Tower, and carried her perfume. It wrapped around him like a blanket, and made his head spin. He hasn't known how they had started, but they were dancing. He occasionally spun her around, and dipped her.
Her eyes were shinnying, and had speckles placed at random. They reminded him of the sky that was shinnying extra bright for the two teenagers. The Eiffel tower's lights had turned on, and caused a low light to illuminate the two heroes. Chat Noir's heart was pounding so hard he thought that Ladybug could hear it. He felt her inhale, and sigh.

He was in paradise.

Adrien shook his head, and looked around at his classmates. The lunch bell had just rang, and some of them were shuffling toward the door. He heard Alya stand beside Marinette and start bugging her about something.
"Hey lover boy, wanna come to lunch with us?" Adrien turned to see Alya's eyes twinkling, and a mischievous smile on her lips.
Adrien cocked his head, and glanced at Marinette. She was looking down, and rubbing her foot on the ground.
"Sure, I'd love too." He smiled, and stood up to pack his bag. The three teenagers walked out of the school building, and started to walk towards Marinette's bakery.
"So, you two both seemed to fade away into your own thoughts, for the majority of the class, what were you guys thinking of ?" Alya nudged Marinette, and winked at Adrien.

"Paradise."
