HE was late.
Oh God, he was going to be so late.
Chat Noir frowned, as his baton buzzed with yet anothermessage. He gulped; the hero could already imagine what was waiting for him (and it was not pretty).
He sighed, suddenly jumping up as another bus was thrown at his direction.
"Can't you just stay still!?" August— no, Gigantitan, cried, as he attempted to grab at the hero.
"Afraid not," Chat only responded, as he easily dodged his attacks. "I'm needed for something very, very, important."
Gigantitan cackled. "Well, I doubt you'll make it." He responded, as Chat Noir leapt back. "You'll just have to cancel."
The hero simply ignored that statement, then turned to face the akumatized villain. "You know, I remember when you were just a baby," Chat replied, undaunted. "Much, much, smaller then." He wrinkled his nose. "And cuter."
He barely avoided his hand, swatting at him. "I am cute!" He roared. "Girls are stupid! Saying she never even noticed me— I bet she can't ignore me now."
Chat Noir only leaned onto his baton and frowned. "Oh, August. This is about a girl?" He asked. "She's not worth the trouble, I'll tell you that."
Gigantitan snarled. "And what do you know about girl problems?"
"Because the perfect girl for you won't ever make you feel like this," he responded easily. "Don't worry, August; you'll find someone! I did!" Chat Noir continued, before another beep came from his baton. "And I better wrap this up before I lose her."
"This isn't close to over!" August only bellowed, as he threw another car at Chat's direction. Finally, he grabbed the hero— only to be surprised with his completely calm face.
"Incoming." Chat Noir only stated, before a familiar red figure passed by, easily knocking the giant off balance.
He smiled, as the heroine walked over to him.
"Queen Bug," Chat Noir greeted. "Took you long enough."
Chloé only scoffed. "It's called being fashionably late." She responded coolly, before immediately shoving a tuxedo his way. "Now put this on— you're past fashionably late, and Marinette's going to kill you." She shivered. "Then she's going to kill me."
"But the akuma—," he started, before the girl rolled her eyes.
"Don't worry, we got this." She replied, turning towards the other heroes who showed up behind her to fight the villain. "I promised Ladybug to get you there." She turned around to leave, then paused.
"And you two deserve this." He swore he could feel the smile on her face. "Congrats, Adrien."
Before he could respond, the heroine leapt away, leaving Chat Noir to turn and run the other direction.
I'm coming, Marinette.
.

Nino was there to greet him as soon as he arrived.
"Dude, you're so late." He stated, as the hero awkwardly stumbled through the door.
"I know, Mari's going to kill me." Chat Noir easily responded, pulling at the suit. "How do I look?"
Nino sighed, then pointed at the top of his head.
Oh. His ears.
How could he forget!
Chat Noir laughed to himself, before immediately calling: "Plagg, claws out!"
The kwami detransformed, and stared pointedly at his master. "You know, this could've been easily avoided if you just gave the ring to Chloé earlier."
"I was on the way!" Adrien retorted. "How was I supposed to know that August would get akumatized? It's not like I could just leave; everyone else was here, and the people of Paris needed help."
Nino sighed, putting a hand on his shoulder. "I love your sense of duty, man, but even you know better than to mess with Marinette." He responded. "Especially on a day like today."
Plagg only nodded, as the man rolled his eyes. "Okay, okay. You're right." He stated, before facing the doors. Stretching his arms, Adrien exhaled:
"Showtime."
.
.
Beautiful.
The first thought Adrien had as he entered the church was that Marinette was beautiful, wearing a gorgeous white gown that she'd worked on herself (the perks of marrying a fashion designer!).
But that thought passed quickly, as his eyes went up to meet hers— and hers were, frankly, burning with a look that said, quite accurately, 'I love you, and I don't want to make a scene: but know that after this is all over I am going to murder you.'
However, everyone in the chapel only saw an angelic smile.
He wished he could say the same.
Almost scurrying onto the front, he took note of all the people who were already seated:
There were, in fact, only a few who showed up: he and Marinette agreed on a small wedding, with only the people they cared about and trusted the most. (They decided to hold a bigger superhero wedding later on in the year, as Chat Noir and Ladybug, with which the rest of Paris could celebrate with them.)
A small wedding just seemed ideal— what with their hectic double lives, and how they really couldn't afford to take a break (even with his dad safely in custody, a new Hawkmoth had come to terrorize the city of Paris). They agreed to lend their miraculous for a day in order to enjoy their wedding; but as they always did, things didn't quite work out as planned.
As the priest began the ceremony, Marinette leaned over to her fiancée.
"You know, I thought you saying you were going to be late was just playful banter. I didn't think you'd actually be late." She whispered.
"It was supposed to be playful banter," he responded, almost nervous. "Just get held up with—"
"With an akuma, I know." Marinette stated. "And I love that part of you." She smiled, and he felt his heart warm.
Then in a second, it was gone. "But if you ever keep me waiting when we're married— let's just say, the only ring you'll be keeping is the one that you already own." She stated, pointedly looking at his miraculous.
He gulped. "Mari…"
"And that was playful banter," she only winked, slyly, before turning back towards the priest.
Adrien took a deep breath, clearly mortified, as he breathed out.
It'd been years since they developed a relationship, but hell if she didn't still terrify him.
And he thanked the world everyday for it:
— that he was lucky enough to fall in love and marry the admittedly scary, but strong, brave, and all-around perfect human being that was his fiancée.
Adrien smiled as he looked up at the priest.
"… And do you, Adrien Agreste, take Marinette Dupain-Cheng to be your lawfully wedded wife?"
"I do."
"Then, you may now kiss the bride."
And he did.

end notes—
yes, this fic was basically me rewriting the wedding scene from the beginning of the incredibles. i thought it was a good idea before realizing that chat noir couldn't really defeat any villains without ladybug ,, which resulted in queen bug showing up instead hasdjks
i hope this was still a fun read though ! i've wanted to write a love square marriage for A While now and finally got to it!3 not that great at fight scenes though ,, (as you can probably tell from the awkward august bit — a grown-up boy with girl problems now asdk)
thank you for reading! ( ´ ∀ `)ノ～
