章 7: Chapter 7: Chapter Trivia!!! (This is a chapter)
[Important notes] Okay, so first of all, this is a chapter! But as some of you know, I'm starting these things called 'Chapter Trivias' where I basically gain inspiration from comments on my works and write a oneshot on them in said work. It's kind of like a temporary tweak to the main plot of the book, but just for one chapter. Here is my first one inspired by an anonymous comment! Enjoy!
This carries on from where we left off in the previous chapter and is just a little 'what if'. The book will continue in the chapter after this.

"Is it bad that i hope the reason Adrien showed up is to rant about this boy he's crushing[...]I WANT TO CLIMB HIM LIKE A TREE!!!!!!!!!"

Marinette sighed as she watched the man who'd just sneaked up on her from goodness knows where hold an ice pack to his nose as he winced.
"Damn, you've gotten stronger since we last met."
She rolled her eyes and huffed. "It's only been a few weeks." She indicated to his nose. "Uh--Sorry about the--"
"It's fine, it's fine." He cleared his throat removing the ice pack and looked around. "Cozy."
She crossed her arms. "Just get to the point. Why are you here Adrien? You shouldn't be here at--"
"At this time of the year." He held up his hands, "I know, I know. I just--I--"
She narrowed her eyes impatiently. "If you're here to make a proposition, then--"
"No!" His cheeks went red. "I actually wanted to tell you that I've found...a potential partner."
Her eyes went wide and her lips broke out into a smile. "Really? Who are they? Why are you here? You know the cat and the bug are too close! You shouldn't be here when you've found someone! What if you upset them! Who is she--"
"He."
Her arms froze mid-flail and her eyes went even wider. "Oh, sorry."
He chuckled. "Yeah, I-I didn't think I was into that until I saw him." He broke out into a meek grin. "His name's Jon."
Her eyes narrowed again (a lot of eye moment if you ask me); she'd heard that name before. Jon. Jon. Jon...
Her attention was drawn back to Adrien as he stood up from the chair he'd been sitting on and rambled on and on about mystery boy, Jon.
"Mari, you don't understand, he looks like a nerd but he's tall and has muscles that could crush a lesser man!!! I WANT TO CLIMB HIM LIKE A TREE!!!!"
Marinette waved her arms around. "OKAY! Hold up Romeo and stop sending heart-eyes out my window!"
Adrien stopped mid-ramble and turned back around to face her. He coughed. "Sorry. I was getting a bit ahead of myself." He took a step towards her but she shot her hand up signaling for him to stay exactly where she'd left him, far away from her and their mating instincts.
"You think?" She gave another sarcastic eye roll and grinned. "So, when can I meet your Prince Charming?"
He rubbed a hand behind his neck. "Yeah, about that....I haven't really talked to him yet."
Her eyebrows shot up. She opened her mouth to talk but he beat her to it.
"Before you ask me how I know his name, I overheard it when he was having a conversation with this dark-haired man."
As if a switch was flicked and a light bulb flickered on, she had a 'Eureka' moment. "His name is Johnathan Kent! Jon for short."
Adrien's eyes narrowed. "How do you know that?" He gasped. "Are you going after my man?"
She snorted. "Of course not! No offense, but he isn't really my type. The dark-haired man was probably my..friend..Damian Wayne. He's mentioned a Jon now and then. They're best friends."
His face lit up. "Does that mean you can hook me up with him--waaait." He smirked. "You're friends with Damian Wayne?"
She was now the one to clear their throat. "Um...yeah."
She could practically feel the mischief wading off him. At this point, he seemed to be more compatible with the fox than the cat. "What aren't you telling me?"
"He-uh-we--"
"You guys are a thing?"
She blushed. "No!" She stuttered. "We're not a 'thing'. We're just---hooking up."
She reeled back offended when he burst out laughing. He shook his head in between laughs. "This is perfect! You and Wayne and me and Kent Jr!"
She shook her head. "We are not doing this."
He pouted. "Aww! C'mon Mari! It's perfect and you know it! You guys don't even have to date! You can just carry on..'hooking up'."
She narrowed her eyes (again) and held his gaze before her shoulders slumped. "I kinda want to though."
He leaned against a chair. "You want to what?"
"Date him."
Adrien's face lit. "Then do it!"
Her face broke out into another blush. "It's not that easy! He's so perfectly imperfect! He's rough and has the deepest fucking voice and he's so nice and oh my Gods, have you seen his eyes? And his hair!"
It was Adrien's turn to wave his arms around. "Calm down Juliet! You're drooling!"
She froze and cleared her throat straightening herself out. "I can't help it."
He rolled his eyes. "And there you were criticizing me!"
"Well at least I've talked to my guy! I doubt you've even so much as stood in the same room with your guy!"
"I'm getting there! I just need a wingman!" He sent her a look she knew all to well. "Or wingwoman."
She landed with a thump on her chair. "Don't you dare give me the puss in boots eyes! That's not fair!"
He groaned. "Aww c'mon Mari! Please! Don't be such a sourpuss!"
She grumbled. "Fine! Okay! I'll do it!"
He threw his arms in the air celebrating his victory. "Thank you so much! You have no idea how much I want to rip his shirt apart and--"
"OH MY GODS PLEASE SHUT UP!" She covered her ears unwilling to learn about his heat fantasies.
He gave her a grin that could only resemble that of the Cheshire Cat himself and called for his transformation allowing Plagg out of his temporary space.
Plagg stretched his limbs in obvious over-exaggeration and yawned. "Finally!" He looked around before grumbling in annoyance. "Where's Tikki?"
Marinette's shoulders shrugged. "Please discipline your chosen. He's too.." She indicated to him staring out the window again and sighing. "...lovey-dovey."
Plagg sighed. "I try. The only think you can do when he starts rambling is nod at everything he says and zone out." He flew to a window - making sure to stay out of sight - and peeked out looking for his sugar cube.
Marinette sighed and stood up from her chair opening her mouth to usher them out before she turned her gaze to Adrien and gasped as she watched him adjust the fake glasses he'd pulled out from goodness knows where and start scribbling something on a notebook - which he'd also pulled out from goodness knows where.
She rubbed a hand down her face in exhaustion. "What the hell are you doing?"
He looked up from his notebook and grinned a toothy grin. "I'm preparing a time and date. Speaking of, are you free on Thursday?"
She threw her hands down in frustration. "Oh my--You still have to talk to the guy first! I'm not going to talk to him for you!"
"B-But you're my wingwoman!"
"All I'm doing is giving you a little push! You have to do the actual talking!"
He sighed in defeat.
She took this opening and finally stumbled out the words she'd been longing to say. "Now that we've established that you like a guy and want to" she made air quotes "'climb him like a tree', I'll sort out the time and place."
He reluctantly handed her the notebook and watched her reaction carefully as she took a look at what he'd been doing. She had to both mentally and physically stop herself from throwing the book across the room.
"You weren't planning anything!" She shoved the book in his face. "You were drawing hearts!"
He gave her a cheeky grin before calling back for his transformation. He sent her a two-fingered salute and a "Call me when you sort out a date" before he jumped out the window.
She rolled her eyes and threw herself onto her couch. Gods was she tired.
She thought back to what he'd said and huffed. She was sure Damian was stronger than Jon.
Yup. Definitely stronger.
And hotter.

TerressaWinner XD What a cute chapter! I love imagining Adrien and Marinette rambling on and on about their crushes! Did you guys like this cheeky Adrien? He's not going to be this cheeky in the main plot. He may not even be cheeky at all! I haven't decided yet.
Anyway, I'll be also making 'Chapter Trivias' in my other books at random times and once again, they're inspired by your comments and are basically a little twist of the plot.
Hope you enjoyed! ;-)
