The next week passed without a single word exchanged between Adrien and Marinette. In fact, Adrien didn't even come over to study anymore.
Not that Marinette could blame him. Their last interaction had been terribly awkward. And terribly intimate. Both of them seriously regretted their moment of weakness.
Still, Marinette thought that ignoring someone like this was an extremely immature way to deal with this kind of problem. She never understood why so many people used this tactic. Why not just pretend it never happened and continue to live your life normally?
Adrien was so childish...

"Don't you think you should talk to her?" asked Nino for the umpteenth time that day. Adrien glared at him irritably.
"No" he said blankly.
"Why not?" his friend continued to press on "You're probably hurting her feelings by doing this. Exactly why are you doing all this anyway?"
"That's none of your--"
"YOU ASSHOLE!!" called a slightly nasal, authoritative voice from behind them, interrupting Adrien's sentence. The two boys turned their heads to see Kagami who looked rather annoyed.
"Adrien, I've been waiting for you at that pathetic studio for ages! Did you think I wanted to get stood-up like that? You're extremely late, you know!"she complained, pointing an accusing finger at Adrien"Did you plan on just ditching me so you could hang out with your stupid friends? That is honestly so--"
"No, Kagami. I didn't mean to leave you hanging. I swear I didn't forget. Actually, I was just about to go and see if you already arrived" lied Adrien.Kagami believed him.She smiled sweetly.
"I'm so sorry for being so rude to you, Adrikins. I really am." she wrapped her arms around his waist, pulling her body closer to his, oblivious to the fact that she made him uncomfortable "So how about we get going to your photo shoot now?"
Adrien gave her his best boyfriend-y grinand allowed her to drag him away from Nino, who just stood there, dumbstruck like he always was.

"Ask him out" said Alya encouragingly "It's not even that hard! Just go and talk to him"
"Talk to him how?" said Marinette anxiously. She was not prepared for this whole thing. At all. In fact, if it weren't for Alya, she probably wouldn't have considered this in the first place.
