Their Closure

one

Message from author: Hello! I've completed this book and I'm currently writing the second one. The first few chapters are literal dookie but I promise it gets better, just hang in there!

"Marinette, wake up!"
...
"Marinette, you have to get up!"
...
"Marinette?"
...
"Marinette, please wake up!"
...
"Marinette, you're going to be late for school!"

"Five more minutes, Tikki." Marinette yawns.

"No, Marinette," Tikki says with anxiety, "It's already 8-o-clock"
"WHAT?" Marinette jerks up and attempts to get up. She gets caught in her blanket and goes face forward into the ground.
Tikki giggles. "Good morning, Marinette."
Marinette groans. "Good morning, my dear Tikki."
"It's Friday, Marinette! Tomorrow you get to sleep in. Just one more day to go!"
"You're in a good mood," Marinette teases Tikki. "But you're right."

Marinette untangled herself from her blanket and makes her bed. She heads towards the bathroom where she sleepily brushes her teeth.
"Gee, when will Mr. Ramier give us a break? I feel so bad for him but there's only so many times that someone can get akumatized. Doesn't Hawk Moth ever get tired of turning him into Mr. Pigeon?"
"Give him a break" Tikki says reassuringly, "It's not easy being a pigeon lover." They both giggle.
Marinette washes her face and goes back to her room. She wears her usual outfit - a dark gray blazer rolled up at the sleeves that are lined in white with pink polka dots and black trimming. Underneath, Marinette wears a white t-shirt with black stitching and a design below the collar. The design itself has pink flowers and black leaves. She wears rolled up pink pants with the inside lined in white with pink polka dots as well. She looks in her mirror to check and see if she has her earrings on. There are serious consequences if she doesn't have them on. Marinette spots the earrings in her ear lobes and makes her way downstairs. She puts on her purse and opens it so Tikki can go inside. After Tikki goes in, she snaps it shut.

She puts on her light pink flats with red soles that adorn her feet.
"Have a great day at school, Marinette." Her dad says with his wife beside him.
"Have a good day today, dad" Marinette gives her dad a peck on the cheek and moves to her mom. "You too, mom." She gives her a peck on the cheek and smiles on her way out.

"Okay Tikki," Marinette says excitedly, "Gabriel Agreste has set up a meeting for me to design a new piece for Adrien!"
"Really?" Tikki says with the same amount of excitement, "I'm so proud of you, Marinette! When is the meeting?"
"This upcoming Sunday." She says proudly as she's walking across the street.
"As in..the day Adrien doesn't have fencing or Chinese lessons?" Tikki responds.
Marinette's face freezes.
"What, how can that be right?" She starts to panic. She opens her phone to check his schedule. 'Sunday - Free Day' her phone reads.

Marinette gasps. "Oh no, Tikki, if Adrien has a free day on Sunday and if Sunday is my meeting with Gabriel Agreste and Gabriel Agreste is Adrien's father and Adrien's father is Gabriel Agreste and Gabriel Agreste and Adrien live in the same house which means-" She gasps for air. "ADRIEN WILL BE THERE!"

"Well, I mean yeah, he will." Tikki says with confusion.
"You don't understand, Tikki!" Marinette goes into full panic mode. "What if I completely mess up? I'm going to mess up my words or trip on something and Adrien's going to be there and see it all! We aren't going to get married or grow old together or have 3 kids or our pet hamster! My life is doomed!"

Marinette makes the mistake of panicking and closing her eyes. She trips over her feet and falls face forward into the sidewalk. She checks her phone '8:30' it reads. She groans. "Now I'm going to be late to school for sure." Tikki is about to say some comforting words when-

"Hey Marinette!" Someone calls from beside her. Marinette turns her head.
"A-Adrien!" She stutters, "What a happy morning! I mean, morning to see you! I mean, no! I mean, I'm happy to see you but...good morning?"
"Good morning," He smiles down at her. Marinette remembers she's still on the ground so she scrambles to her feet.
"Well um.. I-I'll see you at school." She says.
"Wait!" Adrien says a little too quickly, "Why don't we give you a ride to school?" Adrien motions to his bodyguard, who nods. "You'll be late if you keep walking."
"Uh, are you sure?" Marinette says with uncertainty.
"Yeah, of course! Anything for you." Adrien takes her school bag and opens the car door for her. Marinette smiles and gets in the car. As soon as she gets in the car her face turns bright red as she processes what happened.
