Someone To Watch Over Me, Chapter 7
Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone! A perfect opportunity for a new chapter in our ongoing fluffy Ladrienette saga.
Nino tries to help Adrien figure out what to do about his sudden dilemma -- balancing newfound feelings for Marinette against newfound interest from Ladybug. Marinette’s friends argue over how she should proceed. But before long, our lovebirds are side-by-side in detention, paying off their disappearing act from the previous day. Can they find a way to express their budding feelings and bare their souls in an hour where they can’t talk or text?
...Of course they can.
But that’s far from the end of this ride...

A Valentine’s Teaser:
Marinette entered the cafeteria and settled in next to Alya, who was on the edge of her chair. Alya was polite enough to let her take at least three bites of her salad before giving her a Well? look.
"So… I suppose I'm not getting out of here without telling my story, hmmm?" Marinette teased her.
"I will tackle you if I have to," Alya begged. "What is going on? And whatever's going on, how on earth are you so calm about it?"
"It isn't easy…"
Alya gaped as Marinette related the edited-to-remove-Ladybug-activities version of the last two days. "You finally told him?" she marveled. "Face to face? I thought I was going to have to hold you at gunpoint for that to happen."
"I didn't mean to," replied Marinette. "It kind of… slipped out. And I didn't go all-in telling him that I'm in love with him, and I'm glad I didn't. He was fragile enough already, and what little I said was enough to fry his circuits."
She gave Alya a hopeful expression, continuing, "But he was so sweet as soon as he saw me tearing up… and every minute since then! He's been texting me, he asked to walk me to school again today, and we're so much more comfortable together now. I don't have him as a boyfriend officially yet… but I definitely have his attention. And he looks so much happier since we talked, which is what I wanted most."
"Hmmm. So you're not out of the Friend Zone… but you've escaped the Just A Friend Zone. That's progress, right?" noted Alya, wryly.
"It is. And I'm not pressuring him for more yet; I'm letting him make decisions at his own pace. He's still dealing with things at home, and he won't get over those overnight," Marinette answered. "And I don't want to get too hopeful. Maybe when he's not feeling so vulnerable, I'll go back to where I was before with him… but it feels so good to be closer to him like this."
Alya saw a bit of worry creep back into her friend, and moved in a little closer. "Marinette, I don't think you have anything to worry about. There are stars in that boy's eyes right now… Marinette-shaped stars. Everyone can see that. Once he gets his head straight about those home issues you'd mentioned… I think you may have all the Adrien in your life that you can handle."
"That's an awful lot," sighed Marinette, with a smile. "But it's a challenge I'm willing to accept."
She looked over at the other end of their lunch table and saw her other girlfriends looking at them, with Rose in particular twitching slightly and looking on with longing eyes.
"C'mere," Marinette called to them with a little wave, and the girls came running over for their turn to hear Marinette's story...
