They were in the classroom, class hadn't started yet, as a matter of fact the teacher hadn't arrived yet. Therefor the students were chatting patiently hoping that their teacher wouldn't be here today. Nino, Adrien, Marinette and Alya were talking among themselves as usual.

Marinette was talking about her most recent fashion sketches, Adrien was doing most of the commenting, Alya and Nino, well they were cracking jokes. Not mean ones of course, but if they had something funny to say about a sketch it was said.

Marinette showed them a sketch of a suit, that Adrien called 'very pretty and quite interesting'. Alya made a joke about how detailed the man wearing it was. "It's like you spent more time drawing him than the suit" she said.

"Yeah it's almost like you spent more time drawing Adrien than cloth" added Nino, on a sarcastic tone.

He realised his mistake the moment he said it, Adrien looked confused, Alya looked at Marinette worriedly and Marinette looked terrified. Adrien understood what Nino meant and his jaw hit the floor. Noticing that Marinette turned away from them and tried to leave the classroom, but the moment she reached the door the teacher came in, and she was force to sit back down. She avoided their looks during the all lesson, she even ignored Alya when she tried to talk to her whether through whisper, notes, or text.

The moment the bell rang she was out of the classroom, Alya went after her. It took her several minutes to find her, she finally did, in the girl's bathroom.

"Look, Marinette I'm sorry, I didn't know Nino was going to say that." She justified herself.

"You told him" said Marinette on an accusing tone.

Alya froze she wasn't sure what to answer, "Well, yeah, he's my boyfriend" she said weakly. She and Nino always shared everything, they usually didn't reveal other people secrets like that, but Nino had slipped he didn't mean to say that out loud.

"You can't tell him my secrets! Does he knows everything I told you?"

"Yeah…"

"Alya!"

"I'm really sorry I didn't think he'd repeat it"

"I didn't think you'd repeat it. If I tell you something in confidence you're not suppose to repeat to anyone, especially not your boyfriend who is best friend with my crush."

Alya didn't know what to say, she knew that if Marinette told her something she wasn't supposed to repeat it, but she didn't see the harm in telling Nino. It wasn't like he was going to tell Adrien, well he had, but not intentionally. Nino was a close friend of Marinette, someone who wouldn't judge her, and who would always support her.

But then she thought, if Adrien and Marinette were dating, how would I feel about him knowing my secrets? She wouldn't like it, she wouldn't like it at all.

While Alya and Marinette were having their talk in the school hall Nino and Adrien were also talking about what had happened in class. Adrien was at first trying to make sure he had correctly understood what Nino had meant, Nino hadn't talk much but he had validated Adrien's correct conclusions.

"You weren't supposed to know any of that." Nino finally said weakly.

"I'm sure Marinette will forgive you for blurting out her secret."

"I'm not worried about me, she's right to be mad at me, I'm mostly worried for Alya."

"Why?"

"I wasn't supposed to know either."

"Oh… Do you tell Alya my secrets too?"

Nino looked his best friend dead in the eyes and realised how worried he looked. "Yeah" he told him truthfully.

He looked betrayed, and Nino felt guilty. Nino knew Adrien had stuff he really didn't want people to know, not things like his crush on Ladybug, that was obvious and not that embarrassing considering half the city had a crush on her, but thing like how lonely he felt in his day-to-day life.

"She hasn't- wouldn't tell anyone" Nino tried but Adrien didn't look reassured.

"Those were personal stuff Nino"

"I know but I always share everything with Alya"

"Could you not"

Later that day, when Alya and Nino were alone, they realised they had something they needed to talk about. Alya told him what had happened with Marinette and he told her what had went down with Adrien.

"We have to stop telling each other's their secrets." Said Nino.

"But…! How are we suppose to help them solve their problem if we can't tell each other's about it!"

Nino scratched the back of his head, he had no idea how they were supposed to do that.

"Maybe we can tell each other's something's, when we have a way to solve them…?"

"I guess we're going to have to figure it out."

"It's going to be weird not telling you everything…"
