Unspoken Attraction

The Holiday season has finally arrived in Paris! Marshmallows melting into white goo in warm cocoa, the candles are lit, and there is a mistletoe in almost every doorway.
Mrs. Bustier's homeroom is hosting a Secret Santa activity and everyone is excited. Marinette and Adrien most of all.
Marinette is a clumsy yet intelligent teenage girl who is secretly the super heroine of Paris, Ladybug. That isn't her only big secret. Marinette is also crushing on her best friend, the famous model Adrien Agreste. She is embarrassed of her stutter around him and always has feared of a bitter rejection if she were to admit her feelings. Will she ever confess her love?
Adrien is an 18 year old boy who is deeply in love with Ladybug, his crime fighting partner when he transforms into the super hero, Chat Noir. Though, Adrien is being torn in two as he finally faces his feelings towards his supportive and lovable best friend, Marinette. Will he open his eyes and see the obvious returned feelings?
Marinette had only wanted a normal, peaceful and memorable holiday season. Adrien had wanted a Christmas spent with someone he cares about, someone who actually wanted to be with him and share the memories. This Christmas was to be their most cherished one yet.

These characters are not mine, they belong to the company of Zagtoon. They are a part of the show Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Chat Noir. The entire story line is my own original plot though. All fanart is mine, unless I say otherwise in one of the chapters. The cover I drew and designed myself as well. :> Hope you enjoy!
