Downpour (Marin X Adrien Fanfiction)

Chapter III: Discovery

        The next morning Adrien got up painfully early, knowing he had to be ready for the camera. Crossing his fingers to death, he prayed that he had no dark circles. The bed was still warm and the rain had calmed down considerably but there was still a light drizzle that overstretched Paris. The dark clouds were making heavier sounds in the distance but at least around the Agreste mansion it wasn't anywhere close to that. He turned and looked at his boyfriend still sleeping next to him. Instantly recalled everything that had happened to him and wished that it never did. Slipping up he took note of how cold the air truly was when his body wasn't underneath the covers.

        He was shivering, his hairs began to stand up. His birthday would be in a few days and he continuously chewed his lip in preparation for that day. 'Why am I thinking about something so far ahead?' He asked himself, it was a silly thought. The elephant in the room was currently that he and Marin were both a couple and superheroes and that they learned each other's identities the night before in a pretty undesirable situation. He could see Marin shift uncomfortably at the introduction of cold and abrasive morning air. Adrien quickly grabbed the remote and hit the button to close the windows. He slipped back underneath the covers and also put his head underneath and began to give Marin a gentle warming hug. He felt bad that last night he hadn't given Marin any affection due to the shock of it all and acted pretty mean to him.

        The firm torso felt so nice in his arms, it was just like when they hugged during the aftershock of intercourse. He smiled lightly to himself, knowing that while he definitely did screw up, there wasn't really much of a choice. Besides that he was also happy that above anyone else, it was his sweetheart that really knew his identity. 'Knowing that your lover serves the same role as you can really ease the pressure of a doubly life sometimes.' he told himself. Taking this to heart he hugged Marin just a bit tighter, he could feel the other shift a bit, signaling that he was close to waking up. Adrien always thanked Marin for his internal clock which served to be a lifesaver for him on school days.

        The pieces though, were beginning to add up. It now made sense as to why some days Marin was insanely late to school. Or why he had extreme hours, it was due to the fact that Marin also had a double life. The shoulders tensed a bit before Adrien felt the neck above him move, letting go of the other he moved up out of his covers to see Marin's sleepy face. His eyes were half lidded, bed hair was messy, but he still had that lazy smile you'd associate with a long time partner.

        "Good morning Sweetheart." Marin said before his eyes shot wide open and he closed it, realising that he hadn't brushed his teeth. His mouth probably smelt like a corpse was served for their dinner last night. He jumped out of bed and half put on his shoes before making a run for the bathroom. Pulling out a toothbrush from his handbag he searched for some of Adrien's floss.

        Laughing to himself Adrien thought that Marin's behaviour was so adorable, there were many things that he'd seen coming from his imperfectly perfect mess of a boyfriend, this however was new. He turned to look at the clock, it was 7:20. Usually Nathalie would get him up at 7:00, was she late? He asked himself before he turned to his nightstand and saw that she'd written him a note ... frankly it looked more like a memorandum.
