Marinette and Adrien walked beside the edge of the cliff. The moon was still shining brightly. There was a slight breeze due to the channel's waves. Fireflies were glowing around them. It was a very romantic atmosphere; the perfect setting for an evening stroll. Although Marinette couldn't ask for anything better than a walk with Adrien, she was extremely nervous now. She couldn't help but think of all the possibilities as to why Adrien wanted to take a walk with her. Okay, Adrien asked me to take a walk with him. This is nice. Okay...but why is he acting so...off?
As they walked, they remained very quiet. They were both nervous to talk. Even Adrien was hesitant to talk, even though he was the one to ask to take a walk. There has never been a moment where they were alone at a place like this. Adrien gained a little confidence.
"So...uh-" Adrien spoke.
"So…" Marinette interrupted. They both nervously laughed. Adrien rubbed the back of his neck.
"No, no, you first." Adrien said to her with a smile. Marinette smiled back, then spoke.
"Okay." Marinette said, biting her lip. "I have to say that this was one of the nicest things anyone has ever done for me. I have never had so much fun and learned so much from a fashion standpoint. Something's been on my mind though." Marinette told Adrien as she looked down at her feet. Adrien turned his gaze to her.
"Is...is everything okay?" Adrien asked as he began to worry.
"I'm okay but...are you?" Marinette replied as she turned to look at him. Adrien's eyes widened. Tension began to fill the air around them.
"Wh-what do you mean by that?" Adrien asked with a shaky voice. Marinette stopped walking.
"Adrien...don't take this the wrong way but you've been acting really...different towards me. Don't get me wrong, I like the way you're treating me but...you have hundreds of fans. Why am I any different than them? Why invite me to a photoshoot and not anyone else?" Marinette asked him. Adrien bit his lip. Marinette knew he was hiding something. She was hoping that he would do the right thing and tell her what was going on.
"Marinette...I…" Adrien stuttered. Marinette could tell he was nervous. She put her hand on his shoulder to comfort him.
"Adrien? Whatever it is that you're afraid to tell me, don't be. Whatever's on your mind, I might be able to help you with." Marinette reassured him. Adrien looked down at the ground, then back at Marinette. He stared deeply into her eyes.
"Actually, it's not something I'm afraid to say. It's…" Adrien looked to the side, then back in her eyes again. He took his hand and put it in his pocket. He took out a wallet from inside it. "It's actually...something I want to show you." Adrien told her. He opened his wallet and searched inside it. He took out a photo. Marinette couldn't see what the photo was of because it was facing him. She noticed he was shy to show her what the photo was of. He took a deep breath and handed the photo to her, face down. She took the photo in her hand and slowly turned it over. Her eyes grew. She was speechless
"It's...it's me?" Marinette said, holding a photo of her from his own wallet. She couldn't believe it. Her eyes widened. She couldn't help but wonder why he had a photo of her in his wallet. Millions of thoughts went through her head. He has a picture of me in his wallet? Why!? The reason I have photos of Adrien is because I have a-
Marinette stopped thinking.
She came to a conclusion.
