She showed me around the small house, I mean it was cute and cozy and comfortable. I loved it. It was more homely and family like. We heard coughing and sneezing from the other room down the hall. Marinette walked down their and opened the door, she peered her head round the corner.

"You alright Papa?" She asked.

"I'm fine hun" A gruff voice said in reply, she gave the owner of the voice a soft smile before bringing her head back round closing the door behind her. She smiled at me and for some peculiar reason my heart wanted to burst out of my chest.
She continued showing me around her home till we got to her bedroom door. She paused, her hand levitating above the handle.
" Do you want to hang out in the living room your highness?" She asks, turning around to see me. I could tell that she found the situation rather unnerving.
I nod my head 'yes'. We moved to the living in room and sat quietly on the sofa. Side by side, in silence. I kept sat still, my hands folded neatly on my lap.
I tilt my head slightly to get a better look at her. I studied her features. Noticing the small golden freckles that scattered across her nose and cheeks and her pale shoulders. Her lips were plump and rosy and slightly parted  and I was tempted to claim them as my own. I didn't know why but she made me feels things I've never felt before. I went to look at her eyes. But the were hooded by her thick long lashes as she paid attention to her lap but I saw specs of blue through them. So many shades of blue danced about mixing perfectly together. What I hadn't noticed was that she had opened a small leather bound book and was flipping the stained pages  paying attention to the neatly curved words that played about on the page.

Marinette Pov

I paid attention to the book on my lap. Carving the carefully scripted words in my brain. Trying not to look at the man next to me. He was handsome for certain. He had sunkissed skin that contrasted against his golden hair that was neatly combed and his eyes. They looked like the forest on the  brightest day of summer. Or the shamrock plants that grew around the back of the house. Or emeralds I so wished to see.

I felt as if someone was watching me so I looked in the corner of my eyes to find the prince staring at me.

"Can I help you with something your highness?" I ask as I turn to face him.

"I er. Um. Sorry no. There's not" He replied quickly looking away from my gaze.

"I'm sorry. I'm being rude aren't I " I say putting my book face down on the small coffee table in front of us.

"No no of course not no." He replied with a smile.

"Tell me about yourself."He said after a moments hesitation. So I did. I told him stories from my life and he replied with stories of his own.

I paid attention to his words like he paid attention to mine. I bit my lip as I waited for his reply to an oh so embarrassing story I told him more seconds ago. I looked at him and he blinked. He blinked again and he laughed. His laugh was loud and deep and I couldn't help but giggle at his response. He had doubled over clutching his stomach as he chuckled at my words.

ADRIEN POV

I heard a melodic twinkle and I looked up to find that the giggle belonged to her. She looked at me and I dont know what happened next. All I know is I got closer and closer.
I got so close to her. My hand rested on her thigh. And the very little space between I closed. Capturing her lips as my own.
