It was two days after Hecate. Lila had been deakumatized and had left in her usual huff. Marinette took her usual seat next to Alya when she heard someone speak.
"Hey, Alya, could I trade seats with you?" Adrien asked.
Marinette went wide eyed as he sat down.
"Marinette," Adrien said, looking into her eyes. "I've come to realize that you mean more to me than I used to think. You've always been there when I needed it most. You're such a supportive and kind person. You're more than just a friend, and I was wondering, if um-" His face went red. "If you'd like to go out on a date with me?"
Marinette's jaw dropped, as did nearly everyone else's in the room.
"How romantic!" Rose squealed.
"I- um-" Marinette was at a loss for words.
Adrien's shoulders slumped.
"I mean- YES!" She threw her arms around the boy she'd loved since the second day of school.
Everyone cheered. Well, everyone but Chloé and Lila.
Chloé threw a temper tantrum, but no one seemed to mind.
Unbeknownst to both of the miraculous holders, Tikki and Plagg popped out of their bags and grinned at each other.
"I'm happy for them," Lillian told Nathaniel. "They just seem made for each other."
"They certainly do." He replied.
"Oh, um Nathaniel?"
"Yes?"
"Do you want to come over to my house to work on homework?" She hoped her cheeks weren't red.
"Sure!" He smiled.
Lillian gave him a bigger smile. It wasn't a date, or even a declaration of love, but it was something.
