"Isn't it a school night for you?" "Why are you talking to me? Just because I let you stay doesn't mean we have to talk-" "You're not letting me, I am. I know you would've done something to get their attention...But you're too scared of me..." I only blink and yawn as another police car passed by. Thank goodness it was the last one too. "They're gone. You're safe to leave now..." I begin to get up but he didn't budge. "...Hello?" He stayed silent until I heard another car passing. Seems like his good hearing caught one more car I didn't notice. "You really want me locked up..." "Yes, now leave my house..." ▮▮▮▯▯ Mature scenes and language I do not own any artwork Cover art by @/khywae ♥︎ #1 in #chatblanc 4/20/2020 #1 in #miraculous 9/01/2020 #1 in #adrienette 9/08/2020 #1 in #marichat 9/23/2020 #1 in #chatblanc 5/14/2021 #1 in #chatblanc 10/25/2021

Adrien whispered hoarsely to her, his voice rough from his want for Marinette. He kept her caged within his arms; to keep this moment between them and them only. He littered her collarbone and bare shoulder with butterfly kisses, lips only making contact with her skin for a brief second before moving to a different spot. He couldn't feel the internal pain that Marinette felt; rather, he felt her nails rake down his clothed back. Adrien released a low groan, pulling away from her neck and gazing into her cerulean eyes. He looked at her with, was that hope? No, that was Marinette's overactive imagination. "No." Marinette answered finally, pulling him in until their lips met once more. ~~~~~ #2 in Adrienette Cover is by my babe, @neverlanded. I do not own Miraculous Ladybug.
