Emotional Support [Complete]

S2 E4: Clingy

As soon as the three arrived at the mall, the two kids looked in awe at the wondrous area before them. Marinette hasn't visited a mall in a few weeks, but Adrien, he hasn't been to one in the longest time. Marinette giggled at his reaction, but unwillingly thought she could get a break from him. Well, it didn't matter now. He was here, and he was just so adorable that she couldn't be mad at his intrusion.

"Where do we go first, Marinette?" the beaming boy asked, squeezing her hand out of excitement. "I don't know much about this mall, dress-buying business."

Nathalie rubbed her arm. "Neither do I..."

Marinette scanned the area before her eyes fixed on Galeries Lafayette. "Let's go here first!" She pulled both of them along into the store. "Okay, so here's what we'll do. We are going to split up and find options for Nathalie first. We meet a those dressing rooms over there in ten. Then she'll try them on and we'll see what she likes. Got it?"

Adrien nodded vigorously. "Operation Gabenath is a go!"

The two slapped their hands and clasped their fingers around them. "Three, two, one, go!"

And they ran off in different directions. Nathalie only stood there, blinking. "My kids are dorks." She shook her head and made her way to a dress rack.

A few moments later, Marinette had found Adrien blushing slightly in an aisle he hadn't meant to wander into.

"Mari, how did I get here and how do I get out?"

The pigtailed girl giggled at Adrien reaction to brassieres. In truth, it wasn't that the boy was uncomfortable with the sight of women's undergarments. He wasn't that immature. However, it was terribly difficult not to imagine Marinette in each one, and he felt ashamed of himself.

"Hey, Adrien."

Adrien redirected his attention to Marinette only to find that she was holding a pink plum blossom patterned bra over her breasts atop her shirt. She batted her eyelashes innocently, as if she had no idea how crazy it would make him. He hid his reddened face in his hands, spreading his fingers just a bit so he could still see her.
