(Adrien's POV)
At home it was evening and I was having cravings and Marinette's parents thought I was acting weird when I'm eating Chinese food that Sabine made. Of course, I used the chopsticks but instead I was impatient and used the fork instead.
"That's funny, you never use a fork for these meals, Marinette," Sabine said.
"Uh....Adrien taught me" I lied.
"Adrien seems like a strange guy at times," Tom said.
I let out a little glare, not sure if he's making a compliment. But seriously, I was having cravings due to this....female curse I'm dealing with.
"So sweetie, how was the beach with Adrien and friends?" Sabine asked me.
"It was great watching him have a photoshoot and guess what? Kim and Max pulled the popcorn prank by luring seagulls at the sleeping classmates." I almost laughed.
Sabine and Tom chuckled a little after hearing about the popcorn seagull prank. I kept eating since these cravings are too crazy. If only my father would be laughing with me along with mom but he never opens up his emotions. I wish she was here.
"But still, we had a good time. Adrien really needed a break from his dad and stuff." I said, telling half of the truth of myself.
"That's great Marinette," Sabine said.
"Love at first sight!" Tom said which made me almost choke on my food.
"Erm...We aren't dating yet." I said after clearing my throat.
I nearly choked to death. Tom is always the same as last time when he thought Marinette was in love with me as Cat Noir.
"You two would be so perfect together. A model and a fashion designer" Tom said, still taking things too far again.
"Ummm yeah. That could work." I chuckled nervously.
"Tom, don't do the same thing as you did with Cat Noir" Sabine warned her husband.
"Oh right sorry." Tom apologized.
"Cat Noir may be charming but he has saved me a few times in the past," I said, remembering the few times I saved my princess as Cat Noir.
"Yes. He and Ladybug are always there for us." Tom said.
After finishing my dinner I washed the dishes and head upstairs to Marinette's room since I have this issue I'm dealing with which is embarrassing me. These cramps are killing me. How do these girls get used to this?
(Marinette's POV)
Here I am at the dining room eating a very small meal that Mr. Agreste served me. It's no wonder that Adrien's body is so skinny but still in good shape. Adrien was right about this strict diet. It's so unfair for him. For once he needs to do exceptions on what he can eat or drink. This is not Adrien's choice to be forced what he should eat.
After finishing I went to Adrien's room to be alone again. When it comes to Plagg, he never stops eating his Camembert cheese.
"Watch it Plagg, you're gonna get a stomach ache." I groaned in frustration.
"I never get tummy aches," Plagg said.
"Please save your cheese or you'll run out. Adrien is not some servant to order cheese whenever you want" I said with a glare.
"Alright alright." Plagg puts the cheese aside.
"Like seriously, you're just wasting it all once," I said.
"Sorry, pigtails. Cheese is my gooiness" Plagg being greedy again.
That's it. Time for the Adrien stare. I bet he's done this to Plagg to get him to listen. I did the creepy stare at the cat kwami.
"No! Not that!" He gasped.
"Surrender to Master Adrien, Plagg" I smirked while doing the stare.
"Agh! Okay, I surrender Master!" Plagg cried.
"Good boy. It's no wonder why Adrien does the stare" I giggled and went into the bathroom to brush my teeth.
"I hate that stare." I heard Plagg mutter.
"Why? How many times has he done that to you?" I said while brushing my teeth.
"Well yeah. Like a hundred times." Plagg said.
Once I cleaned my mouth I came out and looked at him, "Really?"
"Yes really, I get too carried away with all types of cheese," Plagg said.
"But save the food budget for Adrien next time" I glared at him for whatever he does with Adrien.
"Ok ok sheesh." Plagg frowns.
I rolled my eyes in annoyance and just lie down on Adrien's bed to get some sleep, "And seriously, you need to be responsible. Remember the time our science teacher discovered you and Tikki as Kwami Buster? That was so irresponsible of you" I said.
"I know, Tikki and I have done it that time. But we managed to not reveal your identities." Plagg said.
"Better hope it won't be repeated," I said.
(Adrien's POV)
The next day I was at school with a 'female issue' I have to deal with for less than a week since *Marinette told me it will last less than a week and she also told me to drink lots of water to stay hydrated too.
I head to the girls' bathroom which I'm not used to but got no choice since I'm in her body.
"Marinette Dupien-Cheng. How it's going with Adrien? I heard he's moving on with me. You lost your chance" I know the only liar in this school is that Italian girl, Lila Rossi.
"It's just going on fine as friends." I just ignored her while filling a bottle with water.
"So you don't mind if I steal him from you? He said he hates a bakery girl being so clumsy" Lila made a lie.
His dare she say that! *Marinette would never say things like that as me. Now I understand why the love of my life hates liars like her.
"That's not true, Lila. Adrien always stood up for me and my friends." I marched past her.
"Just watch Marinette!" Lila cried out but I still ignored her and just went to the locker room, going to Marinette's locker.
"Hey girly, how's your day with your crush?" Alya asked beside my locker. Teasing me about how I'm going through in this female body.
"Well, still hanging out and dealing with being a girl," I replied.
"You'll get used to it. Kitty has nine lives" Alya teased me.
"Hilarious, Alya. Technically I have two lives" I corrected her.
"As a normal student and superhero yes," Alya said.
"Same with milady. But please don't reveal secrets to the Ladyblog" I said with a serious tone since she knows I'm Cat Noir.
"I won't. It would have sounded too unbelievable you and she switched minds." Alya assured.
"Both our minds and bodies, Alya. There's a difference" I said as I was done with the locker and closed it.
"I get it." Alya just shook her head and followed.
I felt another cramp again which felt a little strong. I was really not used to it but I can't look stupid in front of the class. I walked into class in time, seeing *Marinette already there in my seat.
"Out of my way, Mari-trash!" Chloe pushed me out the way and I stumbled towards *Marinette which made me land my lips on hers or technically mine.
The whole class 'oohed' at us and we quickly pulled away, blushing red on our cheeks.
"How dare you kiss my Adrikins! Only I get to have his first kiss!" Chloe yelled.
"Hey, it was an accident!" I defended *Marinette from Chloe.
"I saw you push her on purpose, Chloe. It wasn't Marinette's fault! You always blame everyone but yourself!" *Marinette stood up from her seat.
"What makes you wanna defend her now?!" Chloe asked in surprise.
"Because she is the nicest girl that understands me as a real person. And I hate how you cause half of Paris, including your sister to get akumatized because of your obnoxious attitude" *Marinette said with anger.
Oh no! I see an akuma flying towards her. I gotta save her now before her negative emotions take its toll!
"Adrien!" I cupped her face and leaned in to kiss her. I can't believe I'm kissing my own lips but I have to save *Marinette from getting akumatized. The akuma can't go after positive emotions. Luckily it didn't get her when her positive emotions took over. It made the akuma fly away since it can't prey on negative emotions but it might find one eventually. I pulled away from the kiss and saw Chloe getting mad at me.
"I had to do it to not let him get akumatized." I told her.
"Utterly ridiculous!" Chloe yelled.
Ms. Bustier came into the classroom and heard Chloe being obnoxious again, "Chloe! Office, now!"
"Agh! You haven't seen the last of me, Marinette!" Chloe leaves the classroom in a huff.
-
After class was over, I sat next to *Marinette in the library talking about the kiss incident. I didn't mean to kiss her but I couldn't watch her get akumatized. She fears my evil version and since she's in my body, her fear of Cat Blanc would be a living nightmare.
"I understand you did it to prevent me from being akumatized, Adrien. I would instead be Cat Blanc than you." *Marinette said.
"I didn't mean to without permission but Chloe had no right to push me on purpose and put the blame on me," I said, still a little moody and cranky at what Chloe did was way too far.
"She really needs to stop right now." *Marinette said.
"I agree. But now everyone saw us kiss." I said.
"Hopefully they'll believe it was an accidental kiss" *Marinette said, very stressed out.
"I sure hope," I replied nervously.
I can't believe I kissed her; I kissed my own lips with her lips. I mean it felt nice but it's still awkward to kiss a clone or something. This is so awkward now.
