AN: Hey guys! I'm back with another Miraculous Ladybug fanfic! Yay! I'm estimating this one to be about 2 - 3 chapters in total, so overall not that long. Also sorry if the chapters are kinda short, this fic is really just for fun so I don't have a intricate plot laid out or anything, just some fluff for all you Adrienette/Marichat shippers out there. Enjoy!
It was a late Friday night, breeze cool with the mid-autumn temperature as the trees' leaves turned from green to an array of dazzling golds, deep reds, and everything in between, when Marinette found herself in a rather extreme pickle. Now, the world wasn't ending, nor was there an akuma attack, but her problem was pretty high up there. The poor girl had dug herself in a hole so huge that she wasn't even sure in the Earth was deep enough to compensate for her mistakes. Why was she such a messy situation? Good question. Well, it all started with a simple game of truth or dare…
'How did I get caught up in this mess?' Marinette thought glumly from her place on the carpeted floor of Alya's bedroom, a plush ladybug-shaped pillow clutched tightly to her chest. Currently, just about half of her classmates were sprawled in a sort of loose circle in Alya's room, all staring at her intently. Why? Because Alya decided it would be a great idea to through a little slumber party of sorts, which of course lead to a game of truth or dare, and it was her turn. Which would have been fine, if it didn't feel like everyone present was trying to gang up on her.
Marinette gulped. "Truth."
Alix smiled wickedly, spiky pink hair reminding her more of demonic horns than anything else in that moment. "Is it true that you sent out a valentine to someone earlier this year?"
A quick darting glance at Adrien was enough of an answer for any of the keen-eyed shipping-monster females, but still she replied meekly. "Yes."
She was greeted with shark smiles from all the girls, and even some of the more aware boys, that told her that they knew who, exactly, that unsigned letter had been delivered to. Damn it – she knew she should have just stayed home. Alya's sleepovers were always held with the purpose of getting some two people together, and tonight it seemed she and Adrien were the targets (not that the somewhat dense blond had seemed to notice, which was completely fine in the shy girl's opinion. The less he knew right now the better).
"Alright, my turn," Marinette announced, deciding that if she was going to get teased and picked on for the whole night, then she would at least get a little bit of fun out of this while she could. "Alya, truth or dare?"
"Dare," the said girl replied with breezy confidence, not a hint of panic or scepticism in her voice as she took a leisurely sip from her soda. Just what she was counting on.
The raven-haired girl smiled innocently. "I dare you to kiss Nino."
A sudden spit-take from her right let her know that her friend was not expecting that little challenge to fall from her lips. Marinette attempted to hide a snicker, but ultimately failed at the sight of a red and gaping Nino and a very and frazzled Alya. The dared girl shot her a mix of a harsh glare and mortified expression that said in big bold letters 'You are so dead!', accompanied with a hint of 'Are you freaking kidding me girl?!'.
Marinette only gave her a sickly-sweet smile and oh-so innocent eyes that hid deceit and wicked delight.
With one last withering scowl to her friend that promised hardcore payback, Alya made her way over to a failing-to-keep-his-cool Nino, and promptly kissed him smack on the lips. The rest of the party cheered at the sight, and after a few seconds Alya pulled away and scurried back to Marinette's side in an embarrassed rush, leaving a very frazzled Nino stuttering and staring after her with the most dumbfounded expression.
Mari snickered. "Gosh Alya, I never did specify were you were supposed to kiss him. A little eager, are we?"
The auburn-haired girl turned a horrified and murderous glare at her best friend, though the look was ruined by her blazing cheeks and only proved to make Marinette laugh harder.
"You little –"
"Don't worry Alya," the blue-eyed girl interrupted, still giggling at her friend's expense, "you'll thank me later."
"Oh yeah? Then you'll thank me later. Marinette, truth or dare?"
The said girl's victory suddenly seemed not at all worth whatever Alya suddenly had in mind for an undoubtable payback.
"Hey, I just had a go before you! You can't ask me now, it's against the rules," Marinette defended somewhat desperately, confidence evaporating with the more eyes that turned her way, as if her friends could sense the revengeful dare or question that was soon to follow and were determined not to miss it.
"Too bad, truth or dare?!"
The fire blazing in Alya's eyes told Marinette that she was not getting out of this one.
She gulped. "Truth…" she relented uneasily, finally deciding that a dare would give her revenge-seeking friend far too much power. She immediately regretted her choice, however, when an evil grin crossed Alya's lips, and in that moment, as dread pooled in her stomach, she knew that she had just announced her own death sentence.
"Who do you have a crush on?"
Silence.
"I, um, he's... he's... CH-CHAT NOIR!"
And that's when everything went to sh*t.
AN: I hope you guys enjoyed! Also sorry if someone's already done this idea, it just came to mind and was too cute to pass up writing. I'll see you guys in the next chapter!
