Marinette rolled her eyes and ignored the way her cheeks pinked. “Quiet down, kitty. The librarian’s bound to scold us, if you don’t lower your voice.”
“But I’m bored,” he whined, draping his arms over the desktop. “Won’t you save this poor kitty from the clutches of ennui?”
She paused her scribbling, looking at him from across the table with a wrinkled nose. “Ennui?”
“Boredom, basically.”
“Oh.” She went back to writing.
Adrien pouted. “Can’t you do that another time?”
Marinette snorted, shaking her head incredulously. “Adrien, chérie, the exam is literally tomorrow. Were you even paying attention earlier?”
“Hard to pay attention when an akuma robs you of sleep,” he grumped. “Stupid Hawkmoth.”
A smile lifted her lips. He looked so cute like that.
“You could always use this time to sleep, you know,” she said.
He brightened. “Ooh, true.”
Casting a quick glance around the library, he nodded to himself. “The librarian’s nowhere in sight. Excellent idea, m’lady!”
“Shh!”
“Sorry,” he said, sounding not very sorry at all.
Marinette let out a sigh, smiling with exasperated fondness. “You’re incorrigible.”
Adrien grinned, taking her free hand and brushing a kiss on her knuckles. “I try.”
