A fight for them (A Miraculous Ladybug Fanfiction)

Chapter 4: Slow dancing under the stars

Adrien's POV

Marinette's sweet laugh makes my heart flutter. I sip on my punch and just give her a quick stare every few seconds. She looks beautiful, beautiful isn't even a great enough word. She was extravagant and, dare I say it, miraculous. Her eyes were blue like the Atlantic and I felt like the Titanic. Sinking deep into her spell, wanting to come back up but unable to.

(I totally didn't get that line from a song I like! ;> It's from a song called Eyes like the Atlantic Part 2 There is also a Part 1, but it repeats the same thing over and over. Check it out! I loved the rhyming and the phrasing within it! I also like Girl in Red, Cavetown, and Alec Benjamin plus Panic at the Disco :>)

Her hair flowed over her shoulders. I don't often see Marinette with her hair down, but when she is like this it is impossible to ignore my romantic feelings for her. Her smile is soft and her sweet personality reminds me so much of M'lady.

Alya grabs Marinette's arm suddenly and pulls her away. She must have caught me staring again. Alya is all over me when I am with her and Marinette.

Nino guides me towards the DJ equipment. He begins a new playlist with some pumped up music to get everyone moving. I wonder where Marinette and Alya went. They couldn't have gone far. I think They are probably somewhere in the crowd talking. I make my way through the crowd to try and find them.

I finally spot Marinette not far ahead but Alya is nowhere in sight, Marinette is turning her head probably looking for her. A foot comes in my path and I trip. I fall right into Marinette's arms. She shrieks in shock. She didn't see me before I fell right into her.

"I am so sorry Mari! Someone tripped me and I fell right into you. I would have fallen flat on my face if you hadn't caught me." I say nervously.

She quickly lets me go flustered and embarrassed. I am the one with pink cheeks this time. Marinette gives me a shy grin.

Looking away she speaks to me, "Y-yeah. you can fall into my arms anytime. Er- I mean- I am known to have some great reflexes."

She looks nervous and I can't help but wonder why. I want to help her loosen up a bit. To help her relax and enjoy the night. I want to have fun with my good friend.

"Let's go meet Nino by the DJ station! We can talk with him and Alya. Then maybe we can dance a little." I say.

She nods in agreement and smiles at me. A genuine smile too, no longer nervous, but a smile you would give someone you truly appreciate. As if she is glad I took the lead in the conversation.

"That sounds great," Marinette tells me.

This time she takes my hand whilst leading me through, suddenly knowing the way back. A second ago she looked lost, but now it's as if she took a shot giving her a boost of confidence.

I see Nate and Mark dancing together as we make our way through. Marinette and I make sure to give them a wave. They look so happy together. Kim and Alix are pranking people together and having fun. Everyone looks like they are having a great time!

(Yeah I definitely ship Nate and Mark! And Juleka and Rose of course! I am so glad there may be a gay couple within the show! Representation Matters people!)

I spot Nino up ahead about to start a new song and Alya is there too. Marinette let go of my hand, already storming up to Alya. I can see Alya's attitude change and she is scared by Mari's mood. I have to cover my mouth to keep from laughing at the attitude between the two friends.

"Why did you ditch me in the middle of the crowd!?" I hear Marinette say frustratingly to Alya.

Alya whispers something in Marinette's ear. I can only make out a few words such as, "Leave you alone. . . Adrien. . . . dance together. . . was your chance. . ."
