Adrien arrived home feeling tired as usual after a full day of fake smiles and 'trying to sustain the Agreste family image' as his father would call it. When he closed the front door behind him he nearly jumped at the shout of his name.

"Adrien!"

When he turned around he was nearly knocked over when Marinette tackled him in a hug.

"Welcome home!" She said before getting on her toes and kisses him on the cheek.

Adrien blinked as he stared dumbfounded for a moment before turning to look at the girl. Her hair was down and she was wearing an evening halter dress with no back and a beading design all across the chest. The dress was knee length and it flowed gracefully with every move she made.

"Marinette what's going on? Why are you all dressed up?" The man decided to ask.

"I thought I'd dress up for dinner tonight." Marinette said grabbing his arm and smiling up at him. "I wanted to make tonight special. You did tell me to surprise you for dinner afterall."

She pulled him along leading them into the dining room. Adrien's mouth watered at the sight of the steaming entree that sat on the table. It smelled so devine and he could practically hear his stomach growling at the sight.

"Well M'lady you certainly surprise me for sure." The blonde smiled down at her.

They ate and chat for about an hour until they were nice and full. When Marinette's plate was empty along with Adrien's she reached over to take his, but the blonde stopped her.

"You cooked so it's only fair that I wash the dishes." Adrien offered. "You can go get ready for bed if you want."

When Adrien did the dishes Marinette still wearing her evening dress came down and handed him a towel and a wash cloth.

"I drew a bath for you. You can go and relax for awhile." She said.

Adrien blinked surprised by the gesture. "Marinette you didn't have to do that. I mean I appreciate it of course but you don't need to trouble yourself."

"It's no trouble at all. I just want the best for you minou~"

Adrien blushed from the nickname wondering how the heck was she still able to make his heart pound with a single sentence. He takes the towel and thanks Marinette before heading towards the guest room upstairs.

"Oh no not in there." Marinette said pushing him towards the master bedroom. "In here."

Adrien raised an eyebrow still a little confused by what was happening, but didn't question it. He grabbed a few of his clothes to put on for sleep and took them with him into the bathroom.

After about 20 minutes of relaxation Adrien felt completely refreshed after getting out of the tub. He dried off and put on his clothes before letting the towel hang around his neck.

When he opened the door he nearly choked at the sight in front of him.

Marinette always had a knack for surprising him and today was no different, but this...this he did not expect at all.

Sitting on the edge of the bed was a young a red faced Marinette. Wearing a pink silk robe, the sleeves hung off her bare shoulders and the front was loosely tied as she held the front against her chest as it threaten to fall down revealing more of herself.

It didn't take him long to figure out that she wasn't wearing anything underneath the robe which brought him to his next question.

"M..Marinette what are you doing?!? W...Why are you dr..dressed like that??!"

Marinette didn't answer him immediately. She got up from the bed and walked over to the man putting her hands on his chest.

"I just wanted to finish off today with a goodnight." The blue eyed girl said looking up at him with a shy smile.

Adrien gently removed her hands off his chest and walked past the girl. "M...Marinette that's not something we...I mean we can't.....th...this isn't right." He looked away from the blunette while at the same time trying to figure out how to explain to her that this was wrong.

Marinette bit her lip nervously and reached over for his shoulder turning him around so he was facing her again. Before he could say anything she grabbed him by his face and pressed her lips against his.

Adrien's eyes widen as he stumbled back on to the bed and Marinette fell on top of him not once separating the kiss. His hands instinctively fell on her waist when the both of them tumbled together.

Marinette pulled back looking down at the man as she sat on top of him both still red in the face from her bold actions.

"Marinette this n...needs to stop." Adrien said trying to remain calm despite his words coming out shaky.

"Am I not good enough?" Marinette said suddenly causes the blonde to go wide eyed.

The model blinked "N..No that's not...!"

"Then what's the problem?" She asked again suddenly. "Th...This is normal for us. I...I'm still your wife aren't I.....why won't you treat me as such?"

Adrien stared for a moment, he couldn't figure out what made him do what he did next. Maybe it was the insecurity he heard behind the tone of her voice that made him reach up and pull her against his chest taking her lips with his.

Marinette gasped against his lips before closing her eyes and returning the kiss with as much passion as she could give. Adrien's hand held her back pressing her close to his chest and his other rested on the back of her hand making the kiss much deeper.

The kiss grew more intense with every passing second and Marinette gripped the man's shirt struggling to keep up due to her lack of experience.

Adrien let out a slight moan as he flipped them over so that he was now on top and continue to kiss the girl careful not to hurt or crush her.

Marinette felt hot and dizzy and the feeling doubled when she felt Adrien push his tongue into her mouth causing her to let out a moan as well. She wasn't sure how much longer she could take this, she felt like she might pass out at any given moment.

The blunette trembled beneath the blonde, something that did not go unnoticed by him.

Something's wrong.....she's acting very strange today.

They finally separated the kiss letting themselves get some air. Marinette was on her back breathing heavily from their previous activity.

I wonder....

Out of curiosity Adrien reached out to touch Marinette's cheek to have her slightly flinch from the gesture.

He knew it, she was forcing herself to do this. The question was 'why?'

Adrien reached up and patted the girl on the head causing her to look up at him confused. He moved from on top of her and laid by her side propping his head up with his arm.

"W...What's wrong?" Marinette asked looking over at the man.

"I could ask you the same thing." Adrien replied back. "You've been acting strange today Marinette. What's going on with you?"

"I don't know what you mean...."

"I think you do." Adrien continued. "This isn't something you would do...well not the younger you of course and I can tell that you're forcing yourself to do this. Why?"

Marinette sighed twiddling her fingers for a moment and decided to come out with the truth. "Okay.....a couple of nights ago I heard you downstairs on the phone with Alya."

Adrien's eyes widened. "You....you heard that?"

"Yeah...you...I heard you saying that things were difficult trying to keep both of our lives in tact while I was...like this." Marinette held the sides of her arms. "There still no sign of Flashback AT ALL. So I went over to Alya's and I asked her for advice on...how to seduce you. She didn't seem to keen on telling me, but eventually I managed to convince her. I thought....the least I could do until I was...back to normal was continue to do my part as your wife."

Marinette looked down feeling a little embarrassed by her confession.

Adrien thought for a moment, he sat up from his side of the bed and stood up to walk over to the side of the room. Marinette watched him as he removed one of the portraits from of the wall revealing a  small safe behind it. After putting in the code the safe opened with a click and Adrien reached inside for something.

He pulled out a jar, and inside that jar was a dark purple and black butterfly.

Marinette blinked staring at the object in the man's hands. What the heck was an akuma doing in the house?

Unless.....

"Is that...?" Marinette tried to speak, but couldn't find the words.

"An akuma? Yes.... more specifically..... Flashbacks akuma...." Adrien sighed. "I.....haven't been completely honest with you princess."
