Just a Normal Day
Marinette's POV
I wake up happier than ever before. It's now the Christmas holidays! I pad over to my computer and whisper a merry Christmas to all my photos. I look through the news website and Alya's blog. I watch how Alya is estatic about my defeat of the last villain. I'm glad I asked her to interview Chat aswell, since we know we are a team but it doesn't seem have shown until recently. I couldn't have defeated any of the villains if it wasn't for Chat. He's an amazing person, though sometimes he seems to get distracted from the current bad situation. I reach for my phone as I spin over to my bed on my chair to text Alya about her Ladyblog. She instantly replies with a thanks and that it was cool being able to talk to Chat Noir.
I'm glad she took Ladybug's advice (aka mine). Then she says ' Do you know if Adrien opened his present or wether he is waiting till tomorrow'. Oh no. I have been meaning to give him that present all week! I told Alya I would give it to him yesterday but then someone got akumatised and so I forgot. What am I supposed to do now? I could put it through his mail box but the last time that happened it ended up being tagged as from his father. Moreover I want to give it in person so that it is a little more special. I guess I will have to go up to his house. But would he even be up yet? I don't really want to wake him up and be met with him in pyjamas and a bedhead. Though I'm sure he would still look perfect, it would be incredibly awkward for me and I would probably end up shoving it in his hands and running off like roadrunner.
It is 7am, which is slightly early for me to wake, considering I don't usually wake till 7.30 till 8 depending on wether or not I have had to be Ladybug. I decide to wait until 10am until I will go and deliver his present. I hope he likes it! We all saw Chloe's gift for him yesterday- a huge heart shaped photo frame, gold frame and a picture of her hugging him. Even he didn't look very happy about everyone from our class seeing it, since she decided to show off and give it to him just before class. Even the teacher said " Chloe, give your presents at a much better time than when we all have to see it." Even the teachers get tired of Chloe. I think we all do sometimes, even Sabrina has.
I nip off to have a long shower to make myself look nice and presentable for Adrien as well as to relax myself from being two different people. I choose my faveourite scents of shampoo, soap and conditioner- vanilla and strawberry. Then I pad out to set myself and towel dry my hair. I change into a Christmas sweater, blue jeans and change my hair ties to red bobbles with jingle bells on them. Christmas has got to be my faveourite holiday! It just seems so... magical! Tikki likes it too because I see she is wearing the little red and green scarf I made her for last Christmas.
I tread carefully down stairs to see if there are any pain au chocolats left from yesterday. I would love to have them fresh but my parents are already busy in the bakery and I don't want to disturb them. I feel slightly guilty from stealing them from the counter near the till but I know that they would soon replace them with fresh ones to have as back up when we run out on display. I take 3 upstairs, knowing Tikki will want some too. She still loves having cookies, especially my families', but she recently tried one and liked it too. I surf the internet as I munch, just looking at anything that comes to mind. I am looking at funny cat videos when I realise that it is already half past nine. Strange how when I am on the internet time seems to fly by but when on my phone it seems to drag forever. I plan to catch the bus to the Eiffel tower to sketch anything that I might create as a gift for anyone I need to. Maybe something for my parents?
I head down carefully, hoping not to get noticed by them. I don't want to answer a bunch of awkward questions. I see the bus has arrived early and have to sprint to catch it. I arrive just in time and manage to grab a seat to myself. I get out my sketch book and look through my previous presents. I made a headband with studs and roses for Rose, a black and neon purple bow for Juleka to wear in her hair and a bright, tie-dye tee for Nino. I also bought a present for Nathaniel, since he is sort of my friend. I made him a sketch pad with many sections of different colours and types of paper as well as slots to put in other drawings and stuff. I covered it in a range of different fabrics I have left over from other projects.
Now I get off and head off to find my inspiration for a gift for my parents.
Adrien's POV
I wake up as normal. I love Christmas, it's my faveourite holiday, but with my dad nothing special seems to happen. He's always busy with other businesses so I am left to my own doings. Its only 7.30 am so I lie down and think over my last adventure with Ladybug. She is so amazing, and we make an awesome team. I just wish I knew who she really is. I might even know her! I know we aren't supposed to know each other's identities but she is the love of my life and I need to know who she is when she goes back to her everyday life! I'm glad we have been acknowledged as a team rather than me the sidekick to her. I would not have defeated any of those villains without her. Without her I wouldn't even be alive! I feel my eyes start to droop and I let myself fall into the sleep I am longing for.
When I wake up again it's half past nine. I go and have a quick shower, get dressed into a chunky Christmas sweater and black jeans and head downstairs in my reindeer slipper-boots. I mustn't be to late down to breakfast, otherwise father will think I am lazy. I would much prefer to have breakfast when I am actually hungry but that doesn't seem to bother my dad. I realise I haven't even brushed my hair, but I don't mind. Let it be messy, it isn't bothering me. Anyway it is slightly damp in some areas.
I am eating some pain au chocolate made by the chef when Natalie comes to tell me that there is someone here to see me. The pain au chocolat are good but not as good as the ones I have had from Marinette's bakery.
I head down the hall, wondering who it could be. It would usually be one of father's colleagues but they wouldn't ask for me. It must be someone from school. Oh, I hope it isn't Chloe. It was bad enough having that photo shown off in class. I just wanted to leave as soon as she gave it me. Everyone's face was along the lines of ' Ok. Did not want to see that. Like. Wow. What a relationship'. I saw that Nino was glancing at me sympathetically, so was Alya. Marinette was trying not to look at it and then she just buried her head in the desk. At least there were no comments, I guess that everyone could guess that even I thought it was ridiculous to give it during class. Or ever. It was clear Chloe wanted to show off, which I hate because I don't love her. I barely like her but because my father is a powerful business man and her dad is the mayor, we were set up as friends as kids and then they started commenting about our 'close' relationship. Chloe took this as that we were in a real relationship and because I didn't want to ruin the relationship between the mayor and my dad, since it made him very happy, I just let her.
As I near the door I see the familiar face of Marinette. She is holding a box covered in Christmas wrapping paper. Is that a present for me? She smiles sheepishly when she sees me
"Oh, ugh, hi Adrien! I, uhh, forgot to give a present. This present from,uhh, me." Its cute how she mixed up her words and stutters, it just adds to her loveable personality! I know I truelly love Ladybug but when I am around Marinette I do feel a little strange.
"Oh! That reminds me! I have a present I forgot for you aswell! Come in so you can put yours under our tree. I will see if I can find yours aswell!" I still can't belive how I manage to talk straight but I do, even though it does take some self control.
I lead her to the main hall which is also a room where we keep the Christmas tree. I notice she is wearing a cute Christmas sweater with snowmen over it. I bet she made it herself, she is very talented at clothes making, I'm sure she could become an awesome designer in the future. All of her designs have a unique difference with each one as well as other brands. I love modelling her designs when we have those competitions at school. I really hope she loves her present! I decided to give her something simple but hopefully special for her.
Marinette's POV
I am walking through Adrien's house! He looks so cute in his chunky reindeer sweater messy hair as well as reindeer slippers. Maybe he loves Christmas aswell? I didn't know he had aslo forgotten to give me a gift aswell! I still feel bad but not as bad as before. Soon I come up to a circular room, and in the middle is a huge Christmas tree. It's fabulous! The decorations are so fancy and I see photos hanging from a few branches.
"So, do you like Christmas?"
"I love it!" I burst out. Great, he probably thinks I am crazy now.
"Really? So do I! It's such an amazing holiday!"
"You do?" I mentally smack myself in the head. He just told me he loves Christmas, why did I ask him again???
"Yeah! It's an awesome holiday. You can put your present anywhere down. I will look for yours, I know it is here somewhere. I look at the meagre pile of presents. I feel sorry for him, his father won't even let him have a birthday party, I wonder what he is like at Christmas. I can probably guess. I crouch down to put my present underneath the tree. Adrien crouched next to me, sifting through the small pile.
"Ah! Here it is!" He exclaims.
"Here you go.I hope you like it." I feel myself blush.
" I hope you like mine too" I reply with a smile. We both stand up, coming close to each other. I smell cocoa butter.
"I hope you have a great Christmas with great presents and celebrations all round. I hope you stay happy and joyous aswell," I blurt out. He smiles at this.
"Thanks Marinette." He says, pulling me into a quick hug.
"Merry Christmas to you too."
