A few days later Marinette, Nino, and Alya were walking to Adrien's house because they had received texts from him and Nathanael saying they were starting a revolution. Alya wrapped her arms around her boyfriend and bestfriend shoulders, "Incase this ends badly, I love you both, and if I say get your man you guys better stop them."
"You said it," Nino gasped.
"Wait no, that doesn't count," Alya yelled.
Marinette raised an eyebrow, "What is happening?"
"We were waiting to say 'I love you' and I just did," Alya explained.
"And she said it first which really doesn't mean anything but there's so many opinions about weather the girl or guy should say it first," Nino added.
"I'm so glad I got to be here with you Alya," Marinette smiled.
"Now I really want to see Nathanael say it to you," Nino laughed.
"Well," Marinette started speed walking ahead of the couple that started screaming.
Adrien and Nathanael sat on Adrien's couch watching anime when they heard stomping on the stairs, they both walked towards the door which flew open and Alya wrapped her arms around Nathanael who was very startled, "Is she trying to strangle me? What did I do?"
"I'm so happy you love our Marinette," Alya smiled making Nathanael blush as bright as his hair.
"It's an honor," Nathanael laughed as he hugged Alya back.
"This whole time we've been working on this you didn't tell me you were in love," Adrien punched Nathanael in the shoulder.
"Speaking of which we have something to show you guys, sit on the couch," Nathanael rubbed his shoulder, "That hurt by the way."
"Sorry, I'm excited," Adrien picked up three boxes and handed them each to Nino, Alya, and Marinette, "Okay, now open them."
The three friends opened their boxes to find pink sweatshirts with a white marshmallow that looked like Adrien's face and hair, Marinette started laughing, Alya put her head in her hands, and Nino started screaming, "What have you done!"
"Okay so I drew this and posted it online and Adrien's dad was mad about it so we decided to release it as official Adrien Agreste merch and use you guys as our models," Nathanael explained.
"Of course I'll be modeling too but we need to show how versatile it is," Adrien smiled as he pulled his and Nathanael's sweatshirts out of hiding.
After a mini photo shoot the group sat down and looked at the pictures. Adrien was flipping through them on his computer, "Okay, we should pick a favorite of each of us for the sizing, some of the ones with pairs for the cover page, and the group one for the thanks for ordering page."
"Wait, let me edit this one so I know I can edit the others the same way," Nathanael leaned over Adrien and stared messing with the picture of Adrien sitting on the armrest of the couch with his ankle on his knee, Marinette sitting with her legs criss crossed, Alya with one leg crossed over the other, and Nino with his arms on the back of the couch.
"Here, we can share the chair," Adrien shifted to he side so Nathanael could sit next to him.
"Adrien Agreste are you or are you not in a committed relationship with Nathanael Kurtzberg?" Alya questioned as she forced her phone into Adrien's face.
Adrien shifted into Nathanael's lap, "I'm sitting in his lap aren't I?"
"Any comments?" Alya asked Nathanael who was still working on the computer around Adrien.
"Swipe up to purchase Adrien Agreste merch, the link is live and modeled pictures are in the works," Nathanael answered still not paying any mind to Adrien.
"Don't turn my content into an add!" Alya yelled.
The pictures are finished and the five friends decided to walk over the bakery to show Marinette's parents and get Adrien away from his dad and Nathalie when he posts about it online because they will probably be mad. Alya opened her laptop on one of the bakery tables and made Tom and Sabine look at the website, "Look at what Adrien and your future son-in-law did."
"Oh my gosh," Nathanael put his face into his hands.
"Why isn't Nathanael in any of the pictures?" Tom questioned.
"He took them, you can tell in all the pictures of Marinette," Sabine pointed out, "She only smiles at Nathanael like that."
"Mom!" Marinette started to blush.
"They didn't object to the idea of you marrying Nathanael and you're embarrassed that it is obvious you like him?" Nino questioned.
"Don't try and understand women," Tom instructed.
"I don't even try to understand my self," Adrien shrugged.
"Your face is on a marshmallow and a pink hoodie, no one understands you," Nino shook his head.
"Good point, let's go show Nathanael's mom," Adrien jumped in excitement.
Caline was enjoying her Friday night on the couch watching a movie with no papers to grade or lectures to prepare when five of her student's burst into her home, "What are you guys wearing?"
"My merch," Adrien gave a cute anime girl pose with a hand on his hip and a peace sign by his eye.
"We wanted to show you the website we made for Adrien's merch," Nathanael explained as he and Marinette sat on either side of Caline showing her all the pictures.
"I will order one, but I will not promise to wear it," Caline agreed and everyone cheered.
"Best case scenario, Mr. Agreste says the same thing," Alya shrugged.
"No response yet," Adrien updated checking his phone, "Maybe I should just run away."
Nathanael and Caline shared a glance and the latter shook her head, "You may not."
"Please, it would be so fun," Nathanael begged.
"What would?" Marinette questioned.
"I our family we like to take the pickup truck out into a field and sleep in the back of it for the night and Nathanael thinks it's a good idea no matter how cold it is," Caline sighed.
"That would be so cool," Nino commented.
"I'm down," Alya shrugged.
"It sounds fun," Marinette smiled, "Then we can see how warm the sweatshirts keep us!"
"If it's okay with your parents it's okay with me," Caline shook her head. Everyone took out their phones and texted their parents.
"I got a yes," Alya reported.
"Same," Nino smiled.
"Me too," Marinette looked at Adrien.
"He said yes," Adrien couldn't believe what he was reading, "Maybe he doesn't want to look at me."
"Either way you'll probably never get this freedom again," Nino threw an arm around Adrien, "So what do we do now."
"Gather blankets, pillows, and snacks and drive to a field," Nathanael answered, "To the ally way!"
In the back ally behind the apartment building was a large truck with a few dents in it and a dark green color, "I want you to meet my best friend, Shrub."
"How long have you been driving?" Alya questioned as she, Nino, and Adrien got into the back seat and Marinette claimed the passenger seat.
"Four years," Nathanael answered.
"You learned to drive when you were 12? Is that a normal age?" Adrien questioned.
"I learned to drive when I was 12 the rest of you probably never will," Nathanael shrugged, "Normal is relative."
"Could you teach us to drive?" Marinette smiled.
Nathanael sighed, "Don't look at me like that, I can't say no when you look at me like that."
"That's the idea," Marinette leaned over and kissed Nathanael on the cheek.
"We get it, you're cute, now drive," Alya yelled.
"Somebody needs her habanero and pineapple chips," Nino mumbled.
Alya's mouth fell open, "I'm so mad that you're right!"
Stopping at Marinette's house for some blankets and cookies, Nino's house for portable speakers and battery chargers, Alya's for chips and drinks, and finally Adrien's where he snuck into the house, everyone else waited in the car holding their breaths until Adrien emerged dragging a fitted sheet full of pillows, threw them into the back of the pickup, and climbed in the back seat and his friends stared at him, "What?"
"Are you Santa Clause with pillows?" Alya questioned.
"I just took all of the ones in all the guest rooms," Adrien shrugged, "They'll be more comfortable than the bed of the truck."
"I have a mat back there specifically for that reason," Nathanael announced as he started to drive.
"Well then, I'm building a fort," Adrien decided.
"I spy with my little eye nothing, because the sun set 20 minutes ago," Alya rolled her eyes.
"It's the only car game I know," Marinette shrugged, "Nathanael do you know any?"
"I know as soon as I say the most fun one Adrien is going to ruin it," Nathanael sighed.
"Oooo, tell me!" Adrien leaned forward so his chin was on Nathanael's shoulder.
"You play a song in a language that not everyone in the car speaks and let the other people guess what they think they are saying," Nathanael explained.
"You didn't want me to play Anime openings right?" Adrien asked.
"Exactly," Nathanael nodded.
"Too bad," Adrien pulled out his phone, "Nino, let me connect to the speaker."
"No, this is an intervention," Nino put his hand on Adrien's back.
"Am I the only one who speaks Spanish?" asked Alya.
"No and I already know what song you're going to play," Nathanael laughed.
"It's a good song," Alya defended as she connected her phone to the speaker.
"But Marinette likes this song and it's awkward to tell her what it means," Nathanael responded.
The song Despacito By Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee ft. Justin Bieber.
"It's about sex!" Nino yelled making Nathanael screech and everyone else laugh.
Sitting in the back of the pickup Nathanael, Marinette, Alya, and Nino sat with their backs to the side of the truck and watched Adrien make himself a pillow fort in one of the corners which made him uncomfortable, "Why are you guys just staring at me?"
"You're making a pillow fort in the back of a pickup truck," Alya answered.
"This is how I choose to live my adolescence," Adrien announced as he crawled into his fort and shoved a pillow in the opening, that'll show them.
I'm not entirely sure what happened in this chapter.
