Adrien really has a crush on Marinette and hereās wHY
so, i wanna start this post with Horrificator, bc it really caught my attention.
in that episode, Adrien plays the role of an agent, and Mylenne plays the role of his partner (i think). but sheās scared, and ofc, Chloe takes her place bc of a specific scene: a kissing scene. and Marinette looses her shit bc she didnāt want them to kiss. so, when Chloe leans on Adrien to kiss him, the boy dodges her.
i mean, look at his face. he looks scared and his body posture just sCREAMS āi donāt want to kiss this girlā.
then, our savior Nino intervines and takes out Chloe, leaving Marinette in her role. when they get to that part, thereās a thing that caught my attention: when Marinette is almost finishing her lines (āiām not scared, agent Jonesā if i remember right), Adrien literally places his hands in her waist and he pulls her towards him so they can be c l o s e r. he doesnāt even let the girl finish her lines properly.
now, look at Adrienās body posture. he leans to Marinette, his face is calm.
this boy was eager to kiss Marinette.
so, lets move on to Gamer, an episode that Adrienette stans loved, iām sure.
we all know what happened in that episode. Marinette and Adrien are paired up to go and compete in this cool video game competition. and to practice, Marinette invites Adrien to her house.
we get this scene where they touched each otherās hands bc both of them were going for the same remote (is that howās that called?)
and Adrien gets nervous, for some reason. i was expecting it from Marinette, but Adrien? i was thinking he would do something more like ā*smiles and passes her the remote* take this one Marinetteā bc thatās how he is. a gentleman.
then they just stare at each other. bc theyāre in love.
later, Max gets akumatized, looking for Marinette, that happens to be with Adrien at the park.
and thatās the look Adrien gives Gamer. if you look at Marinette, sheās just surprised, Adrien in the other hand looks angry.
cāmON. YOU CANāT TELL ME HIS FACE ISNāT SCREAMING āSTOP RUINING MY DATE YOU IDIOTā
in Frightningale, we get a cute moment between them:
Marinette is being,, well, Marinette. Adrien has his hand on his neck. this is a gesture thatās commonly used in a character that is next to/ is about to confess to their love interest.
in The Evillustrator, we get some Marichat scenes.
this scene in particular (which i found it very important, bc heās tying to look cool in front of Marinette)
the part where iām focusing on is Chatās attitude. he acts flirty with Marinette, something that he wouldnāt do if he was Adrien. plus, he doesnāt do it when he sees other people, like Chloe. in that very episode, our duo goes to Chloeās place to protect her. well, if Chat was acting like THAT with Marinette, why wasnāt he doing the same with Chloe? maybe is bc he doesnāt like her, but he interacts with other civilians, like Alya, and he doesnāt get flirty either. heās just like that with Marinette.
thereās this other part: Adrien shows a different way of being when he is Chat Noir.
he does and says things he wouldnāt say being Adrien, like when he yelled at his father in Simon Says. or the puns, bc he doesnāt say many puns when heās a civilian.
when they *tried* to outsmart The Evillustrator and get themselves in that glass box, Marinette suggests an idea to get out. Chat thanks her for the idea, but i screamed when he wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her towards him.
was it really necessary to get that close? it wasnāt, honestly, bc Chat could keep his distance when he got them out. however, he was very close to Marinetteās face. hm?
and ofc, to finish this horrible theory post, Glaciator.
the Balcony Scene ⢠was very important to me, not just bc of my Marichat ass, bc as i said earlier, Adrien allows himself to be vulnerable when heās a superhero. when Ladybug rejects him, where does he go for comfort? Marinette. he tells Marinette about how he feels, allowing himself to be vulnerable, with another person.
THIS LOOK IS SPEAKING FOR ITSELF HONESTLY.
i guess she isnāt JUST a friend, eh Agreste?
