A/N: So this is my first Miraculous fic. Sorry if I got some things wrong. Again my first time. Anyway hope you enjoy!
Marinette sleepily opened her eyes as the sunlight streamed into her room. The ravenette sighed content as she stretched. She'd just had the best dream imaginable and couldn't wait for the day ahead. Still half-asleep Marinette got her usual outfit from her wardrobe: Pink quarter pants,with a white t-shirt with a black and pink floral design,a light grey jacket with sleeves that reached her elbows and pink flats. She then showered and got changed before doing her hair. First she brushed out her hair and then tied them into their usual pigtails.
Just as she finished getting ready for school her kwami Tikki,the ladybug kwami,came to her side. Marinette glanced at her alarm clock and read the time:10:30 AM.
"I'm gonna be so late!"Marinette panicked,anxiously tugging at her hair.
"Marinette it's Saturday,"Tikki chuckled,"But you did promise to meet Alya in ten minutes at the park."
"Ten minutes!"Marinette grabbed her bag and ran down the stairs.
"Marinette,"Her mum,Sabine,smiled,"You're in a rush today."
"Yeah,"Marinette rubbed her forearm,"I'm meeting Alya at the park in a few minutes."
"Ok then,"Her mum smiled,"You're father baked some treats for you to share with her."
"Thanks maman,"Marinette hugged her mum quickly before rushing down to the bakery.
"Don't thank me thank your father,"Sabine chuckled as her daughter rushed away.
"Marinette I baked these specially for you to share with your friends,"Her dad,Tom,smiled showing her the macaroons and croissants he'd baked.
"Thanks papa,"She kissed his cheek taking the box.
"Make sure to tell me what you all think,"He called as she dashed out the bakery,"I'm trying a new recipe."
"I will,"Marinette called back.
She then ran swiftly towards the park hoping to get there in time. She spotted her best friend waving at her smiling. Alya had natural dark brown hair that gradually turned auburn at the tips,she had dark skin,wore black glasses and had a beauty mark above her eyebrow. She usually wore a plaid shirt with a white t-shirt underneath,jeans and trainers.
Then just as she reached where Alya was waiting she tripped sending the baked treats into the air. Luckily Alya was used to her friend's clumsiness and caught most of the treats that fell out of the box,while most of them somehow managed to stay in the box.
"Girl you're so clumsy,"Alya laughed putting the last of the macaroons and croissants in the box.
"I know,"Marinette smiled getting up and dusting herself off,"So why'd you want me to meet you today?"
"Well I was going to get your help getting info for the ladyblog but Nino asked me if we wanted to hang out with him and Adrien,"Alya smiled eyes sparkling,"We're getting Andre's famous ice-cream."
"Sure,"The ravenette smiled at her friend. According to Parisian urban legend Andre's ice-cream made the couples who ate it fall in love forever and even give you a sign of who your soulmate is.
"Well then all we have to do is wait,"Alya smiled.
"You planned this didn't you?"Marinette raised a brow at her friend. Sure Alya was trustworthy but she wasn't exactly subtle in her ways of pairing people and expressing her opinion.
"Maybe I did,"Alya shrugged and then saw Marinette's expression,"Fine I did. But seriously girl your made for each other."
"I don't think so,"Marinette looked at the ground,"Even though I like him,I don't think so. Every time I get so close to achieving my goal,I plummet right back down."
"Girl,"Alya shook her friend,"Nino told me himself that Adrien thinks of you differently."
"I hope so,"Marinette smiled softly,"Otherwise all of these macaroons are gonna go to waste. Do you want one?"
"Heck yeah,"Alya smiled taking one of the baked treats,"These are really good. But they taste a bit different."
"Yeah my dad's trying a new recipe,"Marinette smiled,"I'll let him know you approve."
The girls then started to laugh and talk about things in general,enjoying the day.
Adrien met his best friend Nino at the entrance to the park. Apparently they were going to get some ice-cream with Marinette and Alya,which he didn't mind. Usually Adrien was trying to avoid fangirls,but Marinette and Aya were different. Alya was like the female counterpart to Nino and was pretty cool and Marinette was more interested in her designs than chasing after him like most girls,so he was cool with them. They were actually pretty good friends.
"Hey Nino,"Adrien greeted his friend,"So why exactly are we getting ice-cream today?"
"Dude!"Nino exclaimed in shock,"Andre's ice-cream is the best in Paris and there's said you can get more than just a treat from his ice-cream."
From the way Nino looked and winked at him,Adrien could tell that he and Alya had planned something. He stared at his friend and tried to figure out what he meant by 'more than just a treat'.
"So what's the 'more than just a treat' bit mean?"Adrien asked intrigued.
"That'll spoil the surprise dude,"Nino smiled,"Now let's go meet Alya and Marinette."
The two teens then walked through the entrance and spotted the two girls laughing and eating something. The two guys then approached them and smiled.
"Hey,"Nino greeted and then he spotted Mr Dupain's baked goods,"No fair! You saved some for us right?"
"Of course,"Alya passed him one,"You're so greedy sometimes."
"It's not my fault they're so good!"Nino protested,"Anyway you guys ready to find Andre?"
"What do you mean find?"Marinette asked clearly confused.
"Well that's all part of the fun,"Alya smiled,"We follow the latest posts and find where he's set up. Andre changes where he sets up everyday."
"So how long does it usually take to find him?"Marinette asked. She had to finish a project she'd been working on and she had a feeling that an akuma might attack that day. Hawkmoth hadn't attacked in a few days so she had to keep her guard up.
"Around three hours,"Nino shrugged,"Last time me,Alya,Mylene and Ivan we went around for that long but the ice-cream was worth it."
"It must be really good if people are willing to go all over Paris for it,"Adrien smiled.
"Well what are we waiting for?"Alya dragged Marinette along. The guys walked behind them laughing.
"Why me?"Marinette sighed as she was dragged along.
"Because I'm your best friend,"Alya smiled,"And girl you're so clumsy you might drop the treats again."
"True,"Marinette smiled,"But can you please let me go?!"
She then struggled against her best friend's grip,causing the guys to laugh even more. They weren't laughing in a mean way,they were laughing out of fondness. By now they'd grown used to Marinette's clumsiness and Alya's way of handling it.
"Alya you're like a babysitter,"Nino laughed.
"Yeah maybe you should let her walk,"Adrien suggested still chuckling.
"And let her drop these treats? No way!"Alya continued.
"Here take them,"Marinette passed them to Alya.
"Score!"Alya smiled taking out yet another macaroon.
"Wow you really like those,"Adrien and Marinette said in unison making them laugh as they saw the other blush.
"It's working,"Nino whispered to Alya.
"I know,"She whispered back,"They just need to realise it."
"Well Andre's ice-cream should help,"Nino winked at her.
The four of them searched for around an hour and they found him at the bridge singing his song. They watched in wonder as he scooped a couple some ice-cream. He was truly talented at what he did.
"Ah Alya and Nino,"Andre smiled,"Oh and I see you've brought your friends. And they are?"
"Marinette and Adrien,"Alya smiled winking,"We thought it would be nice to let them try your ice-cream."
"Oh I see,"Andre smile beamed,"Well I'll serve you guys first and then we'll see what they'd like."
Andre the scooped the usual he did for Alya and Nino. Once he was finished gave them two plastic spoons to share their ice-cream.
"It never gets old watching happy couples eat my ice-cream,"Andre shed tears of pride,"So my two newest customers what can I do for you?"
"You can surprise me,"Marinette smiled at him.
"Ok one surprise coming up,"Andre made her an ice-cream that had peach flavoured ice-cream at the bottom and mint at the top.
"Thank you,"She took the ice-cream and paid him.
"You know,"Andre looked up at the sky,"The ice-cream symbolises who your soulmate is."
"Really?"Marinette nearly chocked on her ice-cream.
"Every ice-cream I make is unique,"He replied,"The mint represents the colour of his eyes and the peach his skin tone."
Marinette looked back at the man in shock. How'd he know that she liked Adrien and secondly doesn't that mean... 'Shit'she thought as she just turned around to eat her ice-cream.
"Hey what's wrong with you? You're not your usual bouncy self,"Alya smiled at her.
"Mmmm nothing,"She mumbled eating her ice-cream,"So what are we gonna do next?"
"Well we could have a sleepover just us two,"Alya smiled and then whispered in her ear,"We can talk about...things and I wanna share my latest scoop for the ladyblog with you."
"Sure,"Marinette smiled. The two girls then spotted Nino talking to Adrien,they didn't look distressed so they were probably talking about something like Marinette and Alya were. The two girls just sat there,Marinette eating her ice-cream and Alya talking to her.
Adrien had gotten a real surprise when Andre gave him an ice-cream that represented Ladybug. How'd he know about his crush. Andre's ice-creams were truly magical,but then he thought about it a bit more and the pieces clicked into place.
Marinette was Ladybug. That explained a lot about her actually,like how she'd always disappear and was worried when one of their classmates disappeared. It did make sense. If she'd gotten an ice-cream that represented him then surely that meant he got one that represented her,even if it was through her alter ego. He felt like he'd just seen Heaven. Finally he knew that Ladybug,well Marinette,loved him like he loved her. The only problem is she loves him and not Cat Noir.
Maybe she wouldn't like Adrien as much after she finds out he's Cat. Well there was only one way to find out. Before he'd do anything though he needed to visit her as Cat and tell her what he knew. While the blonde was in deep thought,Nino guided him over to the edge of the bridge.
"Dude you ok?"Nino asked concerned.
"Yeah I'm fine,"Adrien smiled back,"I was just thinking."
"About what dude?"Nino asked interested. Yes Adrien usually thought a lot but not like how he just was. Something was making him think way too much.
"I-I really don't wanna say,"Adrien shrugged eating some of his ice-cream. There was no way he could let Nino know Marinette was Ladybug. Right now he'd have to keep it secret.
"Is it because of the ice-cream maybe?"Nino pressed.
"Yeah,"Adrien's emerald green eyes sparkled,"I think I know who my soulmate is."
"Really?"Nino turned round to wink at Alya who was talking with Marinette,"So who'd you think it is?"
"Marinette,"Adrien sighed staring at the horizon.
"Really dude!"Nino smiled and gave him a bro-hug,"That's great! You've gotta tell her."
"Not yet,"Adrien smiled softly,"I've gotta clear some things up first."
"Well good luck dude,"Nino laughed,"But it shouldn't be hard she's totally crushing on you Alya-. Alya's gonna kill me! Bye bro!"
"Bye Nino,"He watched as his best friend dashed down the bridge.
Alya was quick to catch on and got the baked goods under one arm and rushed after him.
"Nino!"She seethed,"How could you?! Sorry Marinette,maybe we can do it tomorrow? Bye!"
"Looks like our friends are long gone,"Adrien smiled at her.
"Yeah but Alya must've had a good reason for leaving,"Marinette shrugged and then saw the time on her phone,"I've gotta go."
"See ya around Marinette,"Adrien replied as she walked off.
"I can't believe you've finally found out who Ladybug is,"Plagg yawned,"It took you long enough."
"Yeah,yeah,"Adrien smiled fondly at his kwami. Even though Plagg was a pain in the butt at times,he could also have his nicer side.
"So are you going to tell her tonight or what?"Plagg looked at his chosen.
"I'm not so sure Plagg,"Adrien rubbed the back of his neck.
"Come on!"He urged the blonde,"You've been trying to win her over for ages now! Just go talk to her!"
"You're right Plagg,"Adrien nodded,"I'll go tonight."
