Marinette POV

I sit down on the chair Adrien pointed to, and wait until he is done preparing the game.

Not much later he sits next to me and hands me a controller.

I can't help blushing when our hands make contact. I mean. He's hot, super-nice, loyal, fun to talk to. Oh god. I'm not falling in lo-

"So... Ultimate Mecha Strike III?" Adrien interrupts my thoughts.

"Oh... Yeah! Sure!"

He nods and starts the game.

We totally focus on the game and start playing.

After 4 games, I've won all and he gives up. "How are you so good?"

I giggle. "I had a friend from school who learnt me some tricks. It was before I got adopted by your mom. She had a console and we played. A lot."

He nods. "You totally beat my ass.
I shrug. "Told ya."

He groans. "I got beaten by a girl..."

I furrow my eyebrows. "Are you discriminating?"

He quickly shakes his head. "N-no, of course not!"

"Yeah sure..."

"Are you ready for your first day tomorrow?" He asks, changing the subject.

I allow it. "Yeah! I'm a bit nervous though..."

He puts his hand on mine, a red blush covering his cheek. "I'll be by your side."

I nod, a little bit less nervous about tomorrow.

"I don't have any good outfits..." I look at my old clothes that were becoming too small.

Adrien quickly glances at it. "I could ask my mom to take you shopping?"

I quickly shake my head. "I couldn't ask for that much!"

His eyes pierce into mine. Full of sincerity. "I know for certain that she doesn't mind. She's really glad that she could adopt you. Because... We lost father..."

I look at him, my head slightly to the side. "What happened to him?"

He looks down. "He... He had cancer..."

My eyes widen. "I'm so sorry..."

He shakes his head. "It's not your fault."

"At least I know how you feel..."

He nods. "I can't imagine how you should feel, losing both your parents."

Memories fill up my head again. "Don't leave me..."

I shake them out of my head. "Yeah, it was tough."

We stare into each other's eyes.

I quickly glance at his lips before I meet his eyes again.
