Living With Agreste

First Night (2)

Marinette's POV 

I have to share a room with Adrien........ shoot!

Nathalie had already left the room, leaving me and Adrien in the middle of his room. Adrien finally broke the silence.

"If you want w-we could grab something to eat, and maybe try and get some homework done?" He scratched the back of his neck like he always does when he is nervous. 

"S-sure." I only realise we are still holding hands when he lets go to get some snacks (a packet of chips and an apple each). He guides me to his desk, which has enough room for the both of us, and passes me my bag. We both pull out our  homework and start working in silence, apart from the odd question when we don't understand something.

"Hey, Mari," Adrien says I am finishing my last Math question.

"Yeah," I say not looking up, writing down the final answer.

"Um, you know that project for science?"

"Yeah," I look up to him and see him scratching the back of his neck again.

"Well, since, you know, we now live in the same house, d-do you want to be my partner for it?"

Aww. He's nervous asking me. That's cute.

"Actually, you probably want to do it with Alya, never m-"

I stop him by placing my hand on his knee. 

"I would love to do it with you," his smile returns to his face, "besides I am pretty sure the lovebirds will want to do it with each other."

He chuckles in response and places his hand on my hand that is on his knee. He puts hand his under mine, his palm now touching mine. He looks into my eyes, as I move my hand to intertwine our fingers. Adrien slowly rolls his chair closer to mine, as if moving too fast will scare me away.  His other hand moves slowly to gently lift my chin, as he leans in, not breaking eye contact. I lean in putting my hand on his thigh so I don't fall into his lap. We lean so close that I can feel his breath on my lips. Our lips just touch when suddenly someone knocks on the door and opens it, causing us to quickly pull apart.

A blush appears on my face as Nathalie emerges from the door. I quickly glance at Adrien to see a pink tinge on his face. What was that?  

"Dinner is ready, you two. Gabriel is waiting for you," Nathalie says.

The two of us follow Nathalie downstairs to the dining room. On the way, I see Adrien touch his lips with his fingertips with a confused face, out of the corner of my eye. 

Quick Adrien's POV

What the heck just happened? Do I like Marinette? To be honest I don't even know anymore?

End of Adrien's POV

Dinner was simple. We just sat around and talked. Gabriel even told me that we had our first photo shoot tomorrow afternoon. Apparently, there is normally a theme to promote Gabriel's upcoming line of clothing. However, the on tomorrow is mainly to promote the new model (me) and to show the female part of the New Year's line. (Even though it was the beginning of February). The new line was coming up soon and it was a surprise. (A/N: what do you think it might be.......) 

After dinner we were sent up to get ready for bed and we were allowed to watch a movie before we went to sleep, but we had to go to bed afterwards because it was still a school night.

I had a shower in the guest bathroom whilst Adrien was showering in his bathroom. The thought of having my own bathroom attached to my bedroom was exciting.
