Adrien and Marinette walked through the halls hand in hand, like in the older days. Marinette wore a big bright smile the entire day. One that has not been seen since junior year. She didn't even care about the tons of girls glaring at her in every step. The only eyes she cared about being on her were the emerald eyes of the blonde model standing beside her. Finally, everything was going back to normal. 

Marinette knew she should take things slow. She knew she shouldn't give him full trust. After all, it was only day one, and the change was so sudden. She couldn't help but think there was another motive for it all. But, even then, she couldn't help but be happy about today. She missed Adrien with all she had in her. Even when she tried to deny it, her heart knew better. 

Adrien felt like he was on top of the world. At that second in life, he had almost everything he ever wanted. Standing beside him was all he could ever hope for. At this very moment, he had freedom from his father (who may we add, was the reason for all his problems), he had great friends, and now his princess by his side. Right now, the bet was the last thing on his mind. He was so happy with Marinette. It was as if things had never changed. Everything felt so natural. 

Adrien's heart pounded loudly

Adrien's heart pounded loudly. The warmth of their held hands filled his heart with joy. His insides did millions of flip throughout the day, and he can't even count the times he tried hiding the blush on his face due to her teasing. Not to add the happiness he felt when he saw all the men in college envying him for being by her side.  This was the best day of her life. 

The rest of the day went by perfectly. Classes, messing with Alya and Nino, and Marinette and Adrien receiving each other's full attention. The day could not have gone better for either of them. Well almost amazing if it wasn't for Adrien's little episode at lunch. 

-Flashback-

"When was the last time we had lunch together?" Alya asked, genuinely wondering and reliving the past. 

"The first day of junior year," Adrien answered dejectedly. Of course, he remembered. It had been the worst day of his entire life. 

That morning he woke up with a major headache, couldn't remember what happened the night before or how he even got home, then got threatened by his father, being forced to make changes that will destroy his happiness. Got to school, only to lose the only meaningful person in his life. If only she knew he did it all to protect her. 

"That does not matter anymore," Nino added quickly, recognizing the pain in his voice and the tortured facial expression. Everyone else nodded in agreement and began to eat. That was until Marinette took a bite of her homemade croissant sandwich and let out a moan. "Umm, omg, this is so good, want some?" She asked Adrien but instead of a response, she saw the blonde drop his sandwich and clutch his head. 

-Memory-

"Umm, Adrien," Marinette moaned, sinking her nails in his back. "God, Mari you are so tight. I love you. I really love you," Adrien panted. "Love you too, kitty."
