Adrien “Just A Friend” Agreste:
asked Marinette to slow dance with him
pulled her into the dace with him
hugged her while slow dancing
in fact he just stood around watching others dance before seeing Marinette, he didn’t even ask anyone else, not even Chloe, one of his friends
thinks Marinette is “so awesome”
complimented her baking and dancing skills
got flustered when their hands touched when they reached for cookies at the same time
seriously his reaction basically mirrored Marinette’s reaction to the situation
goes out of his way to talk to Marinette
carries around the lucky charm bracelet she gave him
made her a lucky charm bracelet so they could match
like he could have bought her something but no he spent time making her something so personal and something that becomes their thing
(yeah friends do this but I don’t see no matching friendship bracelets for Nino or Chloe hmmmmm)
was clearly not willing to kiss Chloe, his friend since childhood, but was 100% down to kiss Marinette
heck he even comforted her before since she seemed nervous
was clearly annoyed when Chloe interrupted
compliments her all. the. time. for everything she does
and always reassures her that she is talented and capable
calls her a princess hmmmmm
kissed her hand as Chat and we’ve only ever seen Chat kiss hands of superheroes, never civilians
went to her balcony when Ladybug didn’t show up and see his romantic setup
said he “didn’t want to be alone” and went to Marinette so he wouldn’t be lonely, not anyone else
carried her bridal style to the romantic setup he had for Ladybug when Marinette told him she also was feeling heartbroken
helped throw her a surprise party
was willing to spend a whole day with her and her uncle as a translator for her
and stayed even after finding out he knew french
stood up for her against Chloe
always quick to protect her from akumas and from becoming akumatized like that is literally his first instinct
doesn’t matter who else is there he will protect her first
admires her for everything she does for others
offered to give her a ride home
was not bothered that the press thought they were dating and was more worried about how Marinette felt in the situation
facetimes with Marinette when he can’t come to group activities, rather than facetiming Nino or Alya
had a strange look on his face when Luka tied up Marinette’s skates and helped her to her feet
saw her crash on the ice and rushed to help her up, leaving his date, even though Luka was right there to help her
had the same expression on his face as Luka, someone we know likes Marinette, as they both held out their hand to her
left his date again when he saw Marinette skate off the ice
invited Marinette to his photoshoots
Said those photoshoots would be better with her around
did a mini cat-walk model session for her before the show and got flustered when she complimented him
looked directly at her during the actual fashion show
when Chloe’s mom offered for Marinette to join her in New York, Adrien’s first reaction was clearly upset, which he quickly schooled to show support for her
has become more and more fond of Marinette’s antics (stumbling and stuttering)
CALLED HER “OUR EVERY DAY LADYBUG”
CALLED HER LADYBUG
COMPARED HER TO THE GIRL HE IS HEAD OVER HEALS IN LOVE WITH
and this was after a long speech about how amazing he thinks she is
GOT THAT FOND LOOK ON HIS FACE AFTER MARINETTE KISSED HIM ON THE CHEEK
didn’t pull back from the cheek kiss, as he has with Chloe, aka one of his friends, and instead said thank you after
most definitely has a crush on Marinette and I dare you to prove me wrong
