Marinette, after graduation, she put all of her newly found free time into her fashion again - it had been put on the back burner. her time was divided between school, ladybug & being guardian, and sleep. so having thirty five hours freed up from actual school time, along with the several hours at night that was dedicated to homework - that was basically a forty-five to fifty hours freed up each week. She had some many drawing that she did have time to accumulate the past couple of years that she ended up just diving into making them.
Most of them she asked Juleka to model for her, having started an instagram to post them. That slowly grew her following and when she had asked Adrien to model some of the male focused things she had done, and she was glad he always was glad to help her out. With those posts - going from a couple thousand with Juleka’s posts jumping right up to couple of hundred thousands every time she posted Adrien. She never wanted to step on his fathers toes, but when ever Adrien did model for her, he always happier then when she had seen him at other photoshoots for his dad.
Now, a year or so after graduation Marinette had been working on something special for Adrien, teasing him all week with texts of the scraps of the fabric, and her almost asleep at her sewing machine, and even a blurry picture of the full outfit. The last text she sent him before the photoshoot was ‘i cannot find the shoes i want for this outfit - you don’t happen to have like black vans or converse do you? if not just lmk and i’ll buy them before the shoot tomorrow!!’
She was excited to be in an actual photo studio, rather than the park or something outside. There was so much more control - and weather wasn’t a factor. Having gotten to the studio she set up everything. She wanted everything to be perfect before Adrien got there - along with ordering plenty of food , even if it was just going to be the two of them, Marinette planning on taking the pictures like she always did.
She sat down in one of the director chairs, as Tikki flew out of Marientte’s bag. “Marientte he’s gonna love it!” the little ladybug kawmi said before flying over where the outfit was hanging up. The outfit was totally not something that was Adrien’s style - but she was working out of her comfort zone having the silky black fabric shirt with the buttons on it being a muted green color and her first pair of denim jeans she had ever made. She really hoped that those fit him - having double and triple checked Adrien’s measurements when she made them - knowing if they where even a little bit wrong, they’d look awful. “I really hope he does Tikki, I think it’s much out of his comfort zone as far as style - and he’ll be truthful to me saying if it sucks or if there is anything wrong with them.” Tikki flew back over to Marinette “How could he hate it, he always loves everything you’ve made!” That made Marinette giggle as she looked down at her phone before hearing the door open “Hide Tikki” Marinette’s voice became soft, letting her fly back into her bag.
