‘Hello, Marinette. It’s Adrien.’
Marinette turned around, her lips tilting up in a tight smile. ‘Adrien. How are you?’
‘Can’t complain. You?’
Marinette raised her hands in a shrug. ‘Same old.’
Rubbing the back of his neck, Adrien’s gaze dropped to the floor. ‘Listen, about last time. I'm sorry for what I said. I didn’t mean to offend you, or cause any upset.’
With a weary sigh, Marinette shook her head. ‘No, you don’t have anything to apologise for. What I said was uncalled for. If you say your brother has reformed, then I should just take your word for it. I'm sorry I offended you.’
Adrien gave her a hopeful smile. ‘So, we’re good?’
She nodded. ‘We’re good.’
Adrien heaved a sigh of relief. Guilt and worry had been gnawing at him since his disagreement with her, and even though they had partially mended their relationship at that time, it didn’t feel like complete forgiveness or closure. He felt much better for having cleared the air properly.
Marinette peered over his shoulder to examine the duffel. ‘What did you bring me today, my brave and noble knight?’
He grinned, pleased and excited. ‘A special treat for you, Princess.’
Rummaging through the bag, he extracted a family sized tub of chocolate ice cream. Marinette’s gasp of delight justified the purchase, her smile bright and eager.
‘Can we eat it now?’
With a flourish, he pulled out two spoons, the duffel sagging at his feet. Marinette clapped like an excited child, and sat down by the crate with polite impatience. Laughing, Adrien handed her a spoon, worked the lid off, and sat beside her, placing the tub on her makeshift table. He gestured for her to dig in first, which she did with alacrity, humming with pleasure when she put the heaped spoon in her mouth.
Adrien followed her example, closing his eyes as the ice cream melted on his tongue. It was so rare that he and Marinette could share moments like this, as if they were both simply ordinary teenagers just enjoying a mundane pleasure like food. He had brought her sweets before, as well as pastries, fresh fruit and honey, but he had never brought ice cream before. He promised to do it more often, if she would smile like that.
Adrien had come to treasure every last one of Marinette’s genuine smiles, and peals of laughter. She deserved some brightness after living alone in this miserable place for so long. In his opinion, she deserved so much more, but he knew she was unwilling to leave her underground sanctuary for fear of being shunned, or even hunted down, by regular people.
Adrien pitied her for her current circumstances, but that wasn’t why he kept coming back. He sincerely liked her company, and valued her friendship just as much as he did his other friends.
It hurt to keep her ongoing existence a secret from them, especially in the face of their continued misery, but it looked like they were getting over the loss with each other’s help. Alya and Nino continued to support one another, and now Bridgette had Felix to help distract her and help her to move forward. He hoped Marinette got something out of his companionship, as much as he did hers.
He often wondered what kind of person Marinette would have been if he had met her under normal circumstances. Nino had told him about her, and what she was like, but he wished he could have seen that girl for himself. He might have even seen her as more than a friend.
The thought made him blush. He shovelled another heaping spoonful of ice cream in his mouth in an attempt to cool his flushed cheeks, but all he succeeded in doing was give himself brain freeze. He clutched his head and groaned, glad at least, that he didn’t have sensitive teeth. Marinette just laughed.
‘That’ll teach you,’ she snickered.
‘Judas,’ he whimpered.
Between them, they finished the tub. Adrien sat back with a groan, feeling ill. Marinette licked her lips, then placed the empty tub into a purloined wheelie bin Adrien had rolled in for her. He preferred not to think about how he had managed to steal the wretched thing, then successfully navigated the alternate route with Marinette’s rough map, the same path he had to take when bringing her the large water cooler bottle.
Adrien flopped onto his back, moaning in discomfort, then pulled out his phone to check the time. ‘Damn.’
‘Do you have to go so soon?’
Adrien closed his eyes against her mournful tone. ‘I’ll be back soon, I promise.’
‘Ok,’ she sighed. ‘Since you promised.’
She helped him to his feet, then led the way back to the Metro tunnel.
