I take it from the number of notes the initial post is getting that y’ALL ASKED FOR IT.
First of all, let’s age them up to 17-20.
In this AU, Adrien never goes to public school. He remains cooped up in the house, a sad little sunflower with no friends. ):
So what does he do? He starts finding ways to sneak out of his high security mansion
including but not limited to: hACKING THE SECURITY FEEDS.
Then Ladybug appears and Adrien’s whole world turns upside-down
He doesn’t know who this girl is but he loves her
and when he sees her struggling to take out a bad guy on her own, he decides he wants to help.
He does it from a distance at first—hacking into computer systems to make it easier for her to get into places where people need help
(he becomes known as Chat Noir because when he hacks into security feeds he replaces the video with a loop of a snickering black cat)
but in the meantime he’s taking like three kinds of martial arts and building up his body so he won’t be completely useless
and also buying some expensive toys like a high tech silver staff (“for my martial arts, father!”) and a motorcycle (“just fixing it up as a side project haha”)
far be it from Gabriel to deny his son a few rich boy pleasures
but of course Adrien starts taking it out to help his Lady
“You are a stupidly handsome yet very breakable human being please go home”
Adrien keeps doing it anyway
until they’re conducting night patrols on the back of his motorcycle
and flirting like it’s nobody’s business
Adrien tends to be targeted by the akuma a lot because his father wants him back in the house, enough of this superhero nonsense! Maybe if he gets knocked around enough he’ll change his mind
Insert gratuitous Ladrien makeouts
and one conflicted civilian Marinette who is desperate to keep her identity secret even though making out with Adrien during daylight hours would be pretty nice
