A Picture of You [An Adrienette Story]

Chapter Fourteen

"Sounds like we passed with flying colours, Kitty." Marinette wrapped her arm around Adrien's waist as they made it back to the bakery. To say they'd always worked well as a team would definitely be the truth, but tonights akuma just didn't stand a chance. They were step by step in sync with each other.

"Another win for the cat and bug team. Boo-yah!" Adrien placed his arm over her shoulders and pulled her closer towards him.

There was something incredibly satisfying being able to do this after a battle. Instead of having to run off with no clue to how the other was feeling. They both knew they were going to enjoy celebrating after each win.

"Ermmm... excuse me! I think you'll find it's bug and cat team." Marinette laughed.

"I'm bigger." Adrien answered back, puffing out his muscles.

"Bug comes before cat in the alphabet, plus it's Ladybug and Chat Noir."

"Adrien comes before Marinette. Plus I'm older." They continued to argue until they reached Marinette's bakery.

Opening the door Adrien blocked the way.

"You need to pay the entrance fee." Adrien smirked at Marinette and she giggled.

"What is it?" She asked.

"One kiss -" he pointed and tapped on his lips "right here."

Marinette stretched up on her toes and placed a kiss on Adrien's lips. This was met with gasps coming from within the bakery. Tom stood with an arm around Sabine's shoulders watching the young couple.

"Welcome back. You two had a good day?" Tom asked with a smile.

"The best." Marinette replied. She held Adrien's hand and walked towards her parents. "Maman, Papa, I hope this is ok." She signalled to herself and Adrien.

"Of course it is sweetheart. You already know we like Adrien and we know he'll treat you kindly." Adrien smiled at Sabine, before guaranteeing nothing would ever happen to Marinette whilst he was around. Marinette smiled knowing it was completely true.

"We're going to carry on up and play some video games in my room." Marinette pulled Adrien towards the stairs located in the back entrance.

"Just wait a second you two." Tom's voice came booming from behind them. They both stilled.

Marinette turned around shyly to face her father. "Yes, Papa."

She saw Tom had a plate full of treats. "Take these up with you."

Letting out a deep sigh she let go of Adrien's hand and took the plate from her father. "You're the best." She exclaimed giving him a quick kiss on the cheek.

Gazing at each other, the two superhero love birds made their way to Marinette's room. Marinette took the plate over to her table as Adrien shut the loft door. The two kwami's flew out onto the open.

"Can we go visit the others in the miracle box please?" Plagg begged.

"Sure. Tikki will show you where the box is." Marinette replied.

Once the kwami's we're out of view Adrien walked towards Marinette looking very much like the cat who'd got the cream. She smiled back. Her heart was beating so fast and her stomach swirling with hundreds of butterflies. He slid his hands around her waist as she pushed hers up onto his chest.

"Am I dreaming?" She whispered loosing herself to his cat like eyes. Leaning down down he took her lips again with his own.

"So Little Miss Guardian, are you taking my Miraculous away from me now I know who you are?" Adrien asked with his eyebrows raised.
