Emotional Support [Complete]

Marinette and Adrien had much fun during this Superhero-themed photo shoot. They were more at ease and comfortable with each other than they were the previous time they'd modeled together. With bright, genuine smiles, and cheeks rosy from the cold, they posed closely or passionately with less trouble, and enjoyed themselves.

"Mlle Dupain Cheng," said the photographer, "really get into character. You may be Mlle Dupain Cheng, but you've assumed the persona of Cat Noir."

Marinette nodded before thinking for a moment. Marinette with Cat's persona... Then she smirked and poked Adrien's chest. "You may be the professional model, lover boy, but I'm the cunning, ultra-charming, Mari Noir!"

Adrien scoffed playfully. "Right. You have it easy."

"Easy?" Marinette twirled behind him only to interlock her fingers on his shoulder, resting her chin upon them. Adrien curiously watched her do so, his eyes falling on her devilish smile. "That's because I make it look easy."

"Well, as cunning as my kitten might be..."

Adrien took her hands from his shoulder and placed them around his neck, lifting her over his shoulders, all doing so with such godlike speed that a now blushing Marinette needed a moment to comprehend what had just happened.

"...I still know how to make her purr."

Marinette relaxed as his index stroked beneath her chin as she would usually do for him before she laughed, hugging him, and resting her head atop his. "You sure do, chéri."

Pictures were being taken, and they received many comments on their modeling.

"Love it. Love it."

"Adorable!"

"The people will adore you two!"

The photo shoot went on for about an hour longer, but the teens were having so much fun, they forgot about the low temperatures. For a bit at least.

Adrien stopped laughing and hugged himself as he shivered. "Ooh, chilly!" He turned to Marinette, holding out his arms. "Give me your warmth."

"I don't know how much help I can be, baby." Marinette brought herself into his embrace. "I'm pretty cold too."

"Come on, kids," the photographer told them, "one more photo and we'll be finished."

Marinette nodded and looked around. Then, she took Adrien's hand. "I have an idea. Come on, over the bridge."

Adrien smiled and let her pull him to the opposite side of the bridge to a bench with a beautiful purple blossom tree above it.

"Here!"

The photographer nodded in approval as the teens settled against each other, back to back. The two gave bright smiles as they only grew wider as it started to snow, tiny flakes trickling over their surroundings.
