Our College Life

Chapter 13

Marinette POV
Soon, morning came and I woke up in a I'm familiar room. I then remembered I was in Adrien's room because Alya and Nino were sleeping in mine. I felt arms wrapped tightly about my waist,and remembered the events of the night. I felt Adrien's slow warm breath on my neck, and his heartbeat in his chest. I looked down to see our legs were entangled and the covers were almost off. I drained my neck around to look at Adrien to see if he was still asleep. Soon, our eyes met and it was obvious he had been awake. Our noses were centimeters apart, eyes wide. I smiled.
"Morning Kitty." I said in a slight whisper.
He then got a mischievous grin on his face, and said;
"Morning beautiful." I blushed and felt my face get hot. I shifted around in his grasp so I was facing him better.
"How are you doing? Since last night?" I asked while playing with his hair.
He seemed to like the affection and simply said;
"Better since you were there." I smiled some more.
We then went silent, just looking at each other, faces still inches apart. Without warning, Adrien leaned in, and our lips met. I don't really know how it went from there. He just kissed me. We soon parted for breath and he looked down to see our legs entangled.
"S-sorry! I'm so sorry! I-I mean, I-I'll changed now I guess." I said as my face turned a crimson red. I rushed to the small bag of my clothes, and rummaged through it.
"Argh." I said out loud. I had many outfits to choose from, but I didn't know what one to choose. " Adrien help me. "
"Anything. What does M'Lady ask of me? " he said with a bow as he walked over. I giggled. I pulled out two outfits and held them up for him to choose.
"Which one? Blue jeans and red shirt? Or white shirt and black shorts?" I asked.
" Well" he started. "You'd look good in both, but I'm gonna say the blue jeans and short because it's a little chilly today."
" Alright. " I said and walked towards the bathroom.
I came out about 10 minutes later after doing my hair and makeup. I had put my hair up in double french braids and put on black socks.
"This good?" I asked as I have him a twirl.
"It's perfect M'Lady. " he said as he checked me out, giving an admiring gaze.
I then grabbed my phone and went to the kitchen to find Alya and Nino eating pancakes. When we all finished with breakfast, we walked around London in the same route me and Adrien had the day before.
Later after our large adventure, we went back home and Alya pulled me into their room and questioned me like the FBI. She was aiming to be an investigative reporter and she knew how to run interviews and question people. And she usually got the answer she wanted.
"Whats up with you Mari?" She asked. " you and Adrien have been stealing glances all day are your both a blushing mess when you talk about him or with him. What are you hiding from me? "

"Ahahaha....well.....I guess you could say something happened last night?" I answered with a sheepish grin.

"Gurl. Give me all the deets." she demanded.

"Well, Adrien had a bad dream about his mother leaving him at like 3:00 this morning. I woke him up because he was literally yelling in his sleep and I didn't want him to have that dream anymore. He then woke up and bawled on me for some time. I thought he had fallen asleep so I laid him back down, but he trapped me and pulled me to him in a hug. I didn't resist or anything because he really did need a hug. This morning we woke up and talked. Then he just kissed me. He kissed me hard. It was pretty sudden I guess." I ended.

Alya raised her eyebrows, seeming not convinced.
"So nothing else happened right?"

"Alya! No! Nonononono nothing else happened!" I said in defense.

" Alright.... " she said.
We then went to the living room and watch Stranger Things with the guys till 2:30am. I remember falling asleep, and falling over. I was so tired. Plus I was up the night before. It had been a really, really long day.

Adrien POV
I woke up to movement in my arms and remembered I had pinned Marinette in a warm embrace the night before. Her hair was so soft and I could feel her heartbeat in my chest. It was such a reassuring feeling. She then crained her head and looked at me. When seeing I was awake, she moved around in my grasp and faced me.
"Morning Kitty." She said, face inches away from mine. She started playing with my hair in the most adorable way.
" Morning beautiful. " I said.
She then asked how I was doing with the dream and everything. Everything was great with her. She was my reassurance. She comforted me. I couldn't resist her. She then got quiet as she noticed I was staring at her so adoringly. I then, leaned in and kissed her. I wish the kiss would last forever, but it was only a minute or two. She then pull away, panting for breath. I didn't want her to pull away though. I looked down at my legs after feeling movement and saw they were tangled very tightly with hers. She then apologized profusely as if it was her fault. it was funny because she apologized a lot for things that weren't her fault. She then asked me what she should wear and held up two outfits. I wanted to say she would still look good in a potato sack, but she probably wouldn't like that. When I picked one she went to the bathroom and came out about 10 minutes later in the complete look.
Later, we went out and showed Alya and Nino the sights of London, and took them on the route that Marinette and I had taken the day before. When we reached the house after a full day of sight seeing, I talked with Nino about my new found admiration for Mari. I told him about the phone call I had overheard, and about the events of last night, and then of the times I caught myself wide mouth staring at her and making a fool of myself. Later that nigh t, we watched Stranger Things till about 2:00am and that's when Mari crashed on my lap. We then all decided to go to bed, and I carried Mari bridal style to my room. I gently lain her down and crawled into my side. When I settled in, I rolled over and faced her. I lifted my hand to her face and stroked her face. Her eyelashes fluttered and opened. She lifted her hand and took hold of my hand and held it tightly. I smiled as I leaned forward and laid my head against hers, she then did the same and we sleep peacefully that night. My life seemed all at peace with her by my side.
