Slipping Into Your Heart

(01 - touch starved)

Touch starved (chapter 1)

Marinette quickly tidied her room making sure there aren't any books or fabric laying around her apartment that she shared with her best friend alya

Marinette needed to make sure the house was clean she couldn't let Adrien come into her messy apartment that currently looked like a junk yard, afterall he has been her crush during her lycee days and honestly no matter how many times she remembered the good times during those days she couldn't help but cringe everytime she remembered her conversations with him

she would always stutter and bite her tounge when she talked, honestly it's a miracle how he didn't think she was a weirdo because of how she acted around him but know she could finally talk to him normally and sometimes she would let her ladybug side slip in but that didn't mean that the butterflies in her stomach stopped or the heat rising to her face whenever he got a bit to close afterall her silly little crush on him had bloomed into pure love for him

"Diiiiiingggggg" oh right Adrien

"Hey Adrien!" I said as I opened the door to find green eyed man behind it

"Hey Mari!" Adrien said with a large grin on his face that I couldn't help but smile at.

"Welcome to the place where you will be tortured for the next three hours!" I said with a smirk on my face.

"You didn't have to say it straight to my face" Adrien said and then followed a groan from him

A giggle escaped marinette's mouth as she watches the man infront of her lean his back so he could groan even more as he saw the fully prepared semi table with all their project supplies, Marinette knew that Adrien had secretly hoped that they could talk a bit to the point of distraction from the project as they got their station for the project ready but that wasn't possible if Marinette had already prepared the set and everything

"Alright let's get started so maybe we can have some time to hang out or just talk after" Marinette said as she patted the man infront of her and then went ahead to the table and sat down patting the place next to her so he can sit

Adrien did as ordered and sat down next to her

"Okay so what do we do now?"

Two hours had passed from when they started the project so they decided to take a break

"Okay let's take a break before I break my spine because of this" i said while stretching my back and putting my hands in the air

"Finally!" Adrien cheered , just because Adrien had perfect marks in all classes doesn't mean he likes studying them

"Wanna play a game"

"Sure, how about two truths and one lie!" Adrien said as he moved to face me

"Okay I'll go first!" I said cheerful

"One, I picked out this apartment for me and alya two, chemistry is my worst subject and three i am a bit too much when I am excited"

"Number 1?" Adrien said in a question

"Yep! Me and alya had an agreement that she would take care of the apartment's interior shape while I take care of the apartment's furniture design" I said while still remembering the time we fought over this since both of us have different styles

Adrien thought a bit before saying a thing "sounds very you" Adrien said with a grin on his face

"Why?" I asked confused over why he said that it sounds like me

"You are way too creative to live in a modern designed room, honestly I wouldn't be surprised if you said that even made the furniture itself instead of redesigning them" he started "I mean one look at your old lycee room and you could tell ,I mean it basically screamed you afterall only Marinette dupin-cheng can make a room scream a name" he finished it with a wink

I blushed at his last comment, honestly I came to realize that Adrien was a bit dense I mean he would just spit out compliments anywhere and not realize it's effect but come on! You can't expect me not to fall for you if keep saying stuff like that ugh it's frustrating knowing I am the only feeling this way!

"T-thanks!" Was all I could say in the end no matter how hard I wished to tell him everything my heart feels I can't afterall he only sees me as a friend...

"Alright my turn now!" Adrien said

We kept playing for 15 minutes before a groal was heard..

We both stared at eachother and then Adrien made a small awkward smile as he said

"I might not have eaten anything before coming " said as he scratched his neck shyly

I giggled and then stood up " come on we don't want to keep your stomach waiting!" I said as I gestured him to follow me into the kitchen and made my way to the cupboards to grab some flower " how about we make some cookies?" I asked , rasing an eyebrow as I grabbed the flower bag

"Sure! I am down for some homemade cookies" Adrien said as he took his place next to me completely oblivious to the term *personal space*

After we finished making the dough, we started kneading it

I looked to my side to find Adrien struggling with the dough, she giggled as expected such afterall this was only expected from someone who has been locked up in his house away from the wonders of the world

"Here Adrien, let me help" I said as I put my hands onto his and started moving them together to make sure that they were in sync as Adrien watched carefully ,studying the way my hands moved as to not cause any bubbles in the dough to remain

Accidentally as I moved my leg a bit to be in a more comfortable position I slipped on a bit of water I had spilled on the ground while drinking without noticing

I let out a squeak as my body moved forward and crashed onto Adrien causing both our bodies to crash onto the wall behind us and as I closed my eyes shut, I heard a purr suddenly my eyes shot open ,not even noticing the bright red colour on both our checks I asked

" are you enjoying this?!"

"W-What?! Of course not! I mean it's not like I hate touching you-i mean-" Adrien said in a panicked and flustered voice and then relaxed and said "well...yeah"

"Listen I know it weird but I guess when someone hugs me or is close to me I feel a bit happy and it's just comfortable

A silence sat between us, not one of us decided to move an inch

"You're touch starved" I said in "a matter of factly" type of voice , voicing it as a fact

"What?" Adrien answered in a confused voice almost as if he never heard that term before.

"Touch starved, it basically means that you long for affectionate touches such as hugs and cuddles" I said

"Oh" was all Adrien said

I was mentally slapping myself, OF COURSE HE WAS, Adrien's father never showed him any affection whatsoever especially after his mother's death , he was neglected , mentally abused and felt like a stranger in his own house and there is no saying Gabriel didn't do stuff much worse afterall it was only a year ago before we found out that Gabriel was hawkmoth ,the shock on everyone's faces was something I wouldn't forget and the problems that resulted because him getting arrested left many questions unanswered and the anger that rose in her was unimaginable, this man had not only terrorized this city ever since she was 14 he also abused his son mentally and neglected him and it also seemed like he meant something to chat as he looked horrified when he saw him ,she could believe the man that she once looked up to became something like.... this

But that's wasn't important right now the most important thing now is that Adrien is touch starved and as one of his closest friends she should help him, offer to cuddle him when needed and make sure he felt loved but how could she do that when she had these feelings towards him it's not like she can act as if they don't exist because that was just being in deniel, she knew full well that these feelings were real as they only grew more every time they met but these could feelings could end up ruining their friendship something she cherished so much

Now don't get me wrong, she loved loving Adrien but if she told him that she could offer him hugs and cuddles once he found out that she loved him he'll think that she used his longing for affection as a way to get closer to him which isn't true on bit! She only wanted him to feel loved but of course that's not how it'll look to others

In my chain of thoughts we had already put the dough in the oven once they were cookie shaped and had gotten back to the project

Not a word was said between us

That is until I finally made a decision

"Adrien I have something to confess"
