An Unexpected Visitor // A MariChat Story

Chapter 2: Unexpected Fall

Author's Note: Time to show Adrien's POV, Enjoy!

The drive to school was as quiet as always. He watched the city of Paris go by as he dreaded the thought of going to his fencing lessons after school. He placed his elbow on one of the armrests in the limo, placed his chin on his wrist, closed his eyes, and smiled. He hasn't seen his friends all weekend, and he couldn't wait to see them again.

Once he felt the limo stop, he opened his eyes and adjusted his messenger bag beside him. Then he opened up his jacket just slightly to see his Kwami, Plagg.

Plagg narrowed his eyes at him in a confused manner, wondering why his owner was smiling down at him.

"Thank you Gorilla." Adrien remarked, seeing his bodyguard turn his head slightly and nod in his direction from the driver's seat. Adrien opened the car door, and stepped out onto the pavement. He immediately noticed his best friend by the main entrance with his headphones on, probably jamming out to another remix he made himself. Then, he glances up with a big goofy grin on his face, acknowledging Adrien's arrival.

"Hey bro! Welcome to your mini escape from prison. How were your weekend lessons? Nino asked, hoping to cheer his best friend up by letting him vent a little.

"Same old lessons, same old teachers, same old everything. I swear, if I could escape more often, I would." Adrien scuffed while rolling his eyes, emphasizing his point further. He glanced towards Nino and saw him giving him a small half-smile, while patting his back at the same time.

They made their way to school, climbing up the entrance stairs, when all of a sudden, he felt a small push on his back. He stopped and turned around in confusion to see a fumbling marinette, who had her eyes closed, seemingly bracing herself for impact as she started to fall backwards.

Adrien quickly turned around, and grabbed onto Marinette's sleeve, pulling her towards him. Maybe he may have used a bit too much force... Next thing he knew, both of them were on the ground, facing each other.

Marinette was laying on top of him, both of her hands on his chest. He could feel her heartbeat increase as a blush started to creep up on her cheeks. He had both of his hands gripping the sides of her arms, absent-mindly pulling her closer to him. As he looked up, he saw the most mesmerizing shade of blue, as tranquil as a river's bank. The longer he stared, the hotter he felt as a light blush started to form on his cheeks. He broke his gaze when he suddenly heard a Click sound.

Marinette quickly got off of him as she ran over to her best friend, Alya. Meanwhile Nino helped Adrien up from the ground, patting him down.

"Why did you just snap a picture?! And wipe that look off your face, you're the reason why I bumped into him in the first place!" Marinette complained as she scolded Alya, her friend having a mischievous smile on her face. Then Alya whispered something into Marinette's ear, causing her to blush harder, and earning her a playful punch to the arm.

Adrien smiled as he watched those two, and noticed Nino smiling too. Then a playful thought raced through his mind.

"You like Alya, don't you? Why don't you walk up to her and ask her out?" Adrien questioned and smiled, amused by his friend's bewildered looked. After a couple of seconds, he looked away and started walking into school at a quicker pace, causing Adrien to laugh and chase after him. Then the bell for the first block rang out.

I hoped you enjoyed this chapter, the next one will go back to Marinette's POV
