Adrien and Marinette become good friends. The two regularly spend time together and when they aren’t stuttering around each other, they can talk for hours. They usually spend a lot of time around Marinette’s house since that’s the place they get the most space from people. They avoid Adrien’s house in fear of them being surveyed by his strict father.
He knows that there’s nothing better than going to Marinette’s to see what designs she’s working on, and Adrien is in love with her ideas and he attempts to incorporate them and beg his father to include them in the runway shows. This didn’t quite go to plan.
Marinette noticed cameras everywhere on her way to school. Why was this happening? Overwhelmed by confusion, she now had to hide where ever she could in order to get some privacy. The world was talking about Agreste’s new girlfriend. Marinette didn’t piece two and two together.
Marinette finally made it to class and sat next to her best friend: the walking social media feed. Alya had 100 questions but couldn’t get them out quick enough. She finally clicked.
At lunch, she walked over to Adrien, wondering just how to say something to him. She took a deep breath, smiles and awkwardly fidgeted with her hands when she got too close.
“Hey, Adrien? Do you have any idea why I’m on the front page of most of the local papers? And why I have my own personal camera crew following me?”
Adrien scratched the back of his neck, letting an awkward laugh slip out, “I.. I may have accidentally said something and now my whole family kind of thinks we’re dating? Kind of. Oops.”
He can’t help but laugh at how this happened. It started by introducing one too many of Marinette's designs to his dad, only for him to get angry. “Who even is this girl anyway?” His father asks rather judgmentally, only for his son to drone on and on about how she’s the most creative, quick thinking girl in his school, and he didn’t think about what he said until the words “there’s no one else in Paris that’s quite like her” slipped out of his mouth. The more he thought about it though, they came out quite easily.
Suddenly his father was giving interviews and telling people how there’s no one quite like his son’s new girlfriend. Come to think of it, Adrien takes note that he should probably clear that up at some point.
