Intoxicating💋 [Rewritten]

Chapter 9: Chapter Trivia!!! (This is a chapter)

Okay, so first of all, this is a chapter! But as some of you know, I'm starting these things called 'Chapter Trivias' where I basically gain inspiration from comments on my works and write a oneshot on them in said work. It's kind of like a temporary tweak to the main plot of the book, but just for one chapter. Here is my first one inspired by an anonymous comment! Enjoy!

[Important Note] This carries on from where we left off in the previous chapter and is just a little 'what if'. The book will continue in the chapter after this.

"Is it bad that i hope the reason Adrien showed up is to rant about this boy he's crushing[...]I WANT TO CLIMB HIM LIKE A TREE!!!!!!!!!"

Marinette sighed as she watched the man who'd just sneaked up on her from goodness knows where hold an ice pack to his nose as he winced.

"Damn, you've gotten stronger since we last met."

She rolled her eyes and huffed. "It's only been a few weeks." She indicated to his nose. "Uh--Sorry about the--"

"It's fine, it's fine." He cleared his throat removing the ice pack and looked around. "Cozy."

She crossed her arms. "Just get to the point. Why are you here Adrien? You shouldn't be here at--"

"At this time of the year." He held up his hands, "I know, I know. I just--I--"

She narrowed her eyes impatiently. "If you're here to make a proposition, then--"

"No!" His cheeks went red. "I actually wanted to tell you that I've found...a potential partner."

Her eyes went wide and her lips broke out into a smile. "Really? Who are they? Why are you here? You know the cat and the bug are too close! You shouldn't be here when you've found someone! What if you upset them! Who is she--"

"He."

Her arms froze mid-flail and her eyes went even wider. "Oh, sorry."

He chuckled. "Yeah, I-I didn't think I was into that until I saw him." He broke out into a meek grin. "His name's Jon."

Her eyes narrowed again (a lot of eye moment if you ask me); she'd heard that name before. Jon. Jon. Jon...

Her attention was drawn back to Adrien as he stood up from the chair he'd been sitting on and rambled on and on about mystery boy, Jon.

"Mari, you don't understand, he looks like a nerd but he's tall and has muscles that could crush a lesser man!!! I WANT TO CLIMB HIM LIKE A TREE!!!!"

Marinette waved her arms around. "OKAY! Hold up Romeo and stop sending heart-eyes out my window!"

Adrien stopped mid-ramble and turned back around to face her. He coughed. "Sorry. I was getting a bit ahead of myself." He took a step towards her but she shot her hand up signaling for him to stay exactly where she'd left him, far away from her and their mating instincts.

"You think?" She gave another sarcastic eye roll and grinned. "So, when can I meet your Prince Charming?"

He rubbed a hand behind his neck. "Yeah, about that....I haven't really talked to him yet."

Her eyebrows shot up. She opened her mouth to talk but he beat her to it.

"Before you ask me how I know his name, I overheard it when he was having a conversation with this dark-haired man."
