Kissed

He admired all of her features, features he wished he had seen before. Her dark violet eyes, her long eyelashes, her cotton button nose, and her luscious lips. He unconsciously leaned in. The space between them growing smaller and smaller. Inches went to mere centimeters and centimeters to millimeters till...

A tiny knock on the door startled Adrien from his trance. "I have your nightgown, your majesty." a tiny voice shyly said on the other side of the door. Marinette looked obviously agitated. "I'll be right back."

"Marinette readjusted the towel on her body before going to answer the door. Her gaze softened when she saw it was a little girl holding a neatly folded nightgown. Adrien glanced at the child to see her in a maid outfit with puffy sleeves.

Her apron was a pretty baby blue and her frilly headband was the same color. Her short hair was a pretty white color and had pale skin. Marinette took the nightgown from her and the little girl bowed and was about to leave.

"Wait, Lilac!" The little girl turned around and came back. She bowed her before Marinette. Adrien watched Marinette retrieve something from the drawer in her side dresser. She returned to the child and her some food. The child looked quite surprised. "I-I can't take this, your majesty."

"Please take it. I'm not sure if the servs are eating well and even if you are you deserve this." The child looked at her then at the food and hesitantly took it before smiling. "Thank you, your majesty." I guess there is still some of the old Marinette left in her. Adrien thought.

"Run along, child." The child bowed again and closed the door, the sound of her footsteps suddenly becoming faint. "Why did you do that for her?" he asked her. "She is one of my favorite servs. She is very kind and beautiful things that I need in my workers."

She said plainly as she sat down on the stool in front of a mirror and brushed her hair. "Thank goodness it was only her. If it was anyone else they'd be fired and packing their bags by now." she said amusingly. Adrien was silent for a moment then he got up and walked over to her.

Adrien snaked his arms around her waist, surprising Marinette with a back-hug. Her mouth was open in surprise for a moment then she smiled and sighed sweetly and went back to brushing her hair. "I guess I should be getting to my room now.."

He removed his arms and was about to go to the door when Marinette pulled his arms and twirled him around to peck him on the cheek. "Thank you. Goodnight, my love."

Marinette closed the door behind him and left a broken Adrien to stand there and marvel at what had just happened. A goofy smile spread across his red face as he put his hand in the place she kissed it.
