The rain showers stopped when Adrien and Marinette stepped outside the chateau and the dark clouds that blanketed the starry sky already dispersed and left without a trace.
The wet and deserted reception was redecorated and replaced with beautiful centerpieces and illuminations. The caterers began to organize the dishes and sugarcoated the wedding cake's choux. The live jazz band was tuning their instruments. The guests swamped the now-dry tables and settled on their designated posts.
"There they are!" a familiar voice caught the teenagers' attention. "Let me introduce to you this young lady who fixed my little Gwen's clothes."
It was a group of elderly women, and based on the pieces of jewelry draped on their body, Marinette reckoned that they were prominent and rich people.
"She's pretty!" one of them commented. "And so young!"
"Your name is Marinette, right?" another elderly asked. "As what I've heard, you're aiming to be a designer?"
"Erm, yes Madame."
"Then I must ask for your number, and a reserved appointment in the future once you get famous."
"That's kinda...far-fetched, but I'll be more than happy to work with you."
Adrien grinned how her face matched the redness of her superhero's suit, and the modesty she expressed towards the praises, but before he could say something about her 'far-fetched' assumption, he was dragged by Sean out of the circle.
"Lemme borrow you for a sec!" the man piped.
Adrien gave Marinette a tight hand squeeze before she let him go.
She might be an earshot away, but damn he was starting to miss her presence. Sean had to interrupt his attention for several times, then chuckled reminding him that his girlfriend 'won't simply go away'.
Girlfriend, he mused with a fluttery feeling in his chest. Will Marinette mind it once she learned that he was a lovesick mushy cat to his meow?
Finding an opportunity to excuse himself, he headed straight back to his Lady.
"Hi." she greeted.
"Hi," he responded, linking his fingers with hers.
She raised her brow. "Bored?"
He shook his head. "Not if I'm with you."
Her flustered cheeks proved that he wasn't alone on this new feeling.
"Ah, young love." the old lady sighed. "Why don't you two go and grab your seats while I fetch my beloved Henry?"
Marinette's eye twitched.
She didn't want to know about her Henry anymore or learn about his spouse number. She was more than happy that Adrien led her away from a possible limelight and settled on a vacant table near the front stage.
When the emcee announced the arrival of the newly-wedded couple, she immediately looked at the bridal gown with glee.
The white chiffon clung the Bride's figure well, and the tulle pinned on her veil swayed together with her movement. It has a sleeveless silk top that curled inward and then smoothed once the trail reached her torso. The stitches she made near the bodice highlighted the almost-faded embroidery, and with the gold silky thread she applied, it glittered nicely against the illuminated lights.
She halted her thoughts, then internally scolded herself for appreciating the clothes before the bearer.
In all honesty, the bride was beautiful.
