Of Gods and Royalty

Chapter 31: Blushing, For You.

Marinette's POV
I woke up in the bed feeling really warm. I pulled the blanket up to my ears.
"Tikki just let me sleep..." I turned over. My eyes fluttered slightly open to see two forest green eyes staring into mine. He smiled.
"Who's Tikki?" My eyes widened.
"Just a friend..." I shifted under the covers and realised our legs where tangled. A bright red blush crept onto both our faces. We quickly jumped apart.
"I'm gonna go get ready!" I squeaked slipping into my closet. Grabbing my stuff I had a quick shower. I put on my long sleeved shoulder less shirt, it was white with spots that faded from red to black. A pair of jeans, some lipstick and a broad white hat followed. I shuffled out to see Adrien wearing a pair of jeans and a black hood with a green paw.
"Why does this keep happening?" I asked, he merely chuckled.
"Guess we're both fans." I rolled my eyes. If only he knew. There was a ding from my phone signifying it was time to meet up with Alya.
"Alya wants to see us at hers and Nino's room." Adrien nodded and held the door. "Go ahead I need to grab something." He eyed me then left. I bounded into the room and grabbed the five bags in my closet. I ran out the door and down the elevator. When I arrived at the door Adrien was already inside bro hugging Nino. I smiled at them then put my bag down on the coffee table.
"What are those?" Alya pointed to my three white gift bags. I smirked getting ready to block my ears.
"Presents!" I shot my hands into my ears and just in time too. Alya squealed in delight and dragged the boys to sit down next to her on the couch.
"Oh... sorry boys I didn't get you anything." I put on my best alkward face. Alya frowned. I laughed at them as they pouted. "Just kidding I'd never do that!"
"Okay, me first Mari!" Alya giggled. I handed her a heavy tall slim bag. She pulled out a black box. "Oh my freak..." Nino and Adrien tryed to look at what it was but Alya was clutching it to her chest rocking back and forth with tears in her eyes.
"What is it Alya?" Nino asked trying to pry it from her arms.
"Its the laptop model I've wanted for years." She showed him the little picture on the front of the box. "Mari, how'd you afford it?"
I tapped the side of my nose. "Nino next!" I handed him a bag.
"What the actual!" He ripped open a white box and put on the pair of headphones I got him. They suited him perfectly and I pat myself on the back. "Thank you so much! This is amazing!"
"Now your turn Adrien." I handed him the three full bags. Alya and Nino stared jelously making me laugh. He opened them carefully.
"What!" He started fan girling over each item.
"I noticed you were a superhero fan, and scince the other heros don't have merch yet." I shrugged. Adrien hugged me.
"Thank you so much! It means..." he froze mid sentence. We all went wide eyed as we each comprehended what I'd said. Adrien grabbed my shoulder and pulled me off to another room.
"How do you know about them?" His gaze was peircing.
"W-who?" I gulped.
"The new heros!" I thought rapidly.
"New heros?" I gave him a confused look.
"Yeah you said 'scince the other heros don't have merch yet', what did you mean?"
"I ment like wonder woman and stuff." I shrugged, "What did you mean by new heros?"
"Alya told me." He said a little to fast. I still frowned.
"I'm gonna kill her." I thought I said in my head.
"Why?" He furrowed his eyebrows.
"I can't say I'm merely a messenger." I pushed past him back to the hall. Both Nino and Alya gave me questioning looks. I shook my head mouthing 'he doesn't know'. They both breathed a sigh of relief then offerd us breakfast. We had a eggs on toast. Then we all clamered into an elevator and made our way down to the lobby.
