➝ Adrien’s body moved before he could think about what he was doing. He leaned in, moving his head to quickly peck Marinette’s cheek and pulled back as quick as he could, face red with embarrassment. Oh no. His body screamed at him, he showed too much emotion in these few seconds then he would have liked to ever.
Adrien was over at Marinette’s to hang out and help tutor her a bit in physics, he thought that slowly they were becoming better friends. Closer. Marinette no longer seemed as afraid to talk to him. But now he ruined it all with a simple, not-so-simple, kiss. Around her caused him to feel warm and happy though, a way he’s never felt before!
“U-um!” He blurted suddenly. “Sorry. That…. that was an accident! I don’t know what came over me!” Shaking his arms in front of her as if he was trying to erase the fact it happened while taking small steps backwards, trying to leave before he made matters worse.
Marinette’s face had never heated up so quickly, everything seeming to stop as her mind focused on one thing and one thing alone. Adrien, for no reason in particular, had leaned in and kissed her. While Marinette had gotten used to Adrien’s presence enough that she wouldn’t stumble over words, something like this was definitely unexpected.
She put a hand against her cheek, as if feeling the place where Adrien had kissed her would make the feeling linger. Her mind had been on physics prior, but now it was just about on cloud nine. Adrien seemed to not feel the same way, as she was taken out of her cloud nine dreams and thrust back into reality. While her face was still heated, she didn’t want him to feel bad about it.
“N-No! You’re fine- I mean- It’s fine! You’re hot- I-I mean, it’s hot! I-Inside I mean! Uhm! Let’s take a break and go outside!” she suggested, tripping up on her words. Time spent overcoming the barrier of being able to properly talk to Adrien went flying out the window, as Marinette mentally reprimanded herself, putting her book down and pushing her chair back, letting it spin so that she would face a bit away from Adrien and try to recompose herself.
