Daminette December

2020:2-Swordplay

Everyone was excited to root for Adrien at his International Tournament, held in Paris. The old class had gotten together to root for him.

It didn't shock them as much as it use to, to see him with Kagami Tsurugi. They had been dating for over four years now and while many girls felt they were a better fit, Adrien's affection for her never swayed. He cheered for her every match.

When it was Adrien's turn to face off against the mysterious USA combatant, he knew he was going to have problems. He had watched the fencer gain momentum quickly in his previous matches. Every time he thought he had the upper hand, he quickly learned he was being toyed with. Adrien had lost his match. It was all up to Kagami.

Adrien cheered from his team's bench as his girlfriend took center stage. It was her turn to face the USA team. Their female fighter was quick and aggressive, but also light on her feet. While Kagami lasted longer then he did, she ultimately fell to their team as well.

Gotham's team from the USA was declared the tournament's winners.

"I demand to see the face of my opponent!" Kagami shouted, as the team tried to leave.

"I want to see my opponent's face as well." Adrien declared, "I'd like to fence again another time."

The two mysterious opponents looked at each other before shrugging. They seemed to have no problem with it.

The tiny female lifted her helmet and many of the Parisians there, were shocked to see Marinette Dupain-Cheng. Her hair had grown out and was pulled back into a fishtail braid.

"Marinette?" Kagami and Adrien cried.

"Hey." she smiled.

"How?" asked Adrien, still a little confused.

The Marinette he remembered was clumsy and while she seemed to be a quick learner at tryouts, she was now on a whole other level.

The other combatant took off his helmet and looked at them unamused.

"I have a great teacher. My boyfriend taught me." Marinette explained, hugging Damian's arm, "We do a lot of physical sports together. I do gymnastics with his brother and we so martial art and fencing was Damian's way of easing me into swords."

Damian tilts Marinette's face to his and presses a soft kiss on her lips.

"You did well, Habibiti." he spoke, "Congratulations."

Marinette smiled before turning away to sneeze.

"We better get you out of your uniform and into warmer clothes." Damian suggested, as he picked up their helmets, "You know you get sick easily in the winter."

Marinette nodded as she followed his lead to the locker rooms.

After a quick change, Marinette ran up to Kagami and Adrien, with Damian in tow. Damian glared at the pre-existing class as they whispered about his Angel. They quickly scattered away from the duo.

"You both are welcomed to come to my parents." Marinette smiled, with Damian's arm wrapped around her, "We were gonna get some hot chocolate."

"I would love to speak tactics with you." Kagami stated.

"Same!" shouted Adrien, "How did you do that three step combo?"

The class watched as Marinette cuddled into her boyfriend's arm as they opened the door to the cold. He quickly took his scarf and placed it over her. They couldn't believe that she was really over Adrien, but it was really visible on her face that she wouldn't want anyone else by her side besides Damian Wayne. He also seemed protective and cared for just as much. Marinette had changed without them and she would continue to do so.
