Miraculous Sin

Adrien and Marinette Part 2

Marinette Pov:

I've just finished mixing up the icing when I hear a knock on the door. I turn to Nino and ask him to open the door. As he walks away I close my eyes and breathe in through my nose, exhaling through my mouth. I'm gonna be cool. I'm gonna be smooth. I'm gonna ask Adrian on a date tonight. Alya comes up behind me and rests her hands on my shoulders. "You got this girl. You're gonna do great." She squeezes me gently before going to check on the baked treats. I set down the spatula and go to check on the boys when I slam directly into a hard surface. The bowl slips from my hands and the contents spill all over me. I look up at what I've run into. Adrien. I stare into his beautiful soft green eyes. "Oh gosh Marinette I'm so sorry. I can have it cleaned if you want." I blink a few times and look down at my shirt. I grab a towel and try to wipe it off before the stain sets in.

"I-It's okay Adrien. It's just icing." He offers to clean it up and all I can think about is how clumsy I am. Without thinking I mumble something about washing up and scurry up my stairs into my bedroom. I let out a wail of embarrassment.

"Oh Tikki I'm such a klutz. As soon as I see Adrien I go dumb!"

I remove my jacket and pull the soiled shirt from my body, holding it inside out over my arms while my kwami juts out her lower lip as she watches from my desk. "Don't worry about it, it could be much worse."

I shake my head as I turn towards my sink, my lips downturned in a frown. "I know Tikki but- "

She holds up her small hand and closes her eyes. "No buts Marinette. It'll be alright. Adrien was apologetic about it and it's not like you got any on him."

I raise my eyebrow as I look at her reflection in the mirror. "And how would you know that? Was somebody eavesdropping? She giggles nervously and scratches the back of her head before flying up onto my bed. I giggle to myself before turning back to my mirror. I hear the creak of my bedroom door being shut and turn, expecting Alya and my body freezes when I see Adrien standing a few feet away from me. My eyes widen and I quickly try to cover myself. "A-Adrien. Doing. W-what are you? Up here. Changing! I'm changing" I sputtered. Oh my god. Adrien's in my bedroom ... and I'm half naked. He starts towards me and I pull my shirt tighter to my body. I inhale sharply as he touches my chin. He's looking at me. It looks like he's looking for something. I stare into his eyes. What is he doing? And then he asks a question I didn't expect.

"Are you alright ... M'lady?"

I flinch involuntarily and close my eyes. No. Oh no. It can't be him. I peek one eye open and look at his focused glare. I need to test him. I need to be sure this man is my partner. I can't ask him outright though can I? Let me just..

"Fine Chaton"

His eyes widen and he reels back slightly at my response, removing his hand from my face. I pause from anticipation after my words really sink in. He grabs the belt loop on my jeans and pulls me closer in one swift movement, he rests his other hand on my lower back and pulls me even nearer to him. My hands and thin shirt being the only things separating our chests from touching. My breath picks up and a blush paints my cheeks yet again as he leans in closer, capturing my lips against his. He lets out a sigh as his eyes flutter shut. I can feel my heart pounding. It feels like it's going a to thump right out of my chest. He's kissing me. My crush is kissing me. I close my own eyes and return the kiss, pressing my lips against his own. I move my hands away from my chest and cup his cheek, wrapping my arm around his neck with the other. He removes his fingers from my belt loop and curves it around my back as we separate,the two of us breathing heavily. I intertwine my fingers in the golden blond hair at the nape of his neck as I rest my forehead against his.
