Marinette arrived at the guest seats at the same time as the other model's guests. She figured she could at least introduce herself to them, after all if the co-model was a recent hire, that hopefully meant her guests were just as new to professional photoshoots as Marinette was.

"Hi," she greeted, "Nathalie said you're guests of…" Marinette had been so distracted by how much was happening earlier that she didn't even remember hearing the other model's name. Marinette thought she might be able to recognize the model from when she had been looking through headshots in the past.

She looked to the set where Adrien was shaking hands with a girl, a very familiar black haired girl. She looked back to the guests and was standing in front of Luka and Rose. "Of course you two are Juleka's guests," she said, leaning towards Rose to give her a hug first.

After her hug with Rose, she hugged Luka who was now about 20 cm taller than her, she had to lean up on her toes to get her arms around his neck and he leaned over slightly to wrap his arms around her waist. "Yeah, I'm more surprised that you're Adrien's," Luka responded as though he knew more than he should.

Luka didn't think right now was the time to mention that he was only surprised because he figured that Marinette being on site all of a sudden would include a reveal. He really didn't think she planned to reveal their identities to each other yet, but there was a chance he was wrong and she decided to tell Chat Noir that she was Ladybug.

From the set, Adrien felt a pang of jealousy in his chest at the sight of Marinette hugging his co-model's guest like the two were lost friends who just reconnected for the first time in years. Adrien and Juleka were instructed how to pose for each of the shots that Vincent took.

A few shots were Adrien wrapping his arms around Juleka's waist. A few were with his arms across her shoulder, and there were some of him pointing at something in the distance. The poses were all perfect, to the point where there were people running across the set to change the way Juleka's hair laid or adjust the placement of Adrien's shirt seam.

During the entire set, Adrien could see that the man that was Juleka's guest had been speaking with Marinette, only occasionally being interrupted by the petite blonde sitting on his other side. Adrien had to pose in a 'romantic way' with Juleka and him facing toward one another, posing like they were having a moment and he was happy that she wasn't trying to use that as an excuse to flirt with him.

Juleka was very professional, especially for being a recent hire. She didn't try to argue, she didn't try to invade his personal space, or make uncomfortable suggestions like a few past hires had done. When they finished with all the shots from that set, Juleka and Adrien were sent off the set so it could be struck.

They walked together to the guest area and Adrien was starting to get annoyed at his jealous thoughts when he saw Marinette still talking to the other boy. Adrien saw the boy whisper into Marinette's ear as he and Juleka approached.

"Both of your songs finally changed," Luka said quietly into her ear when he could get a feeling for Adrien's song. "Your resonant frequencies finally match. Congratulations, Ma-Ma-Marinette." Marinette froze, momentarily stupified by Luka's apparent knowledge of Adrien's song before today.

"Mari," Adrien's co-model called out to her before he could. Marinette turned quickly toward her and basically ran to give her a hug. Marinette hugged Juleka longer than she hugged the man and Adrien realized that Marinette is probably just affectionate and hugs people far more often than he does.

"You looked beautiful out there, Juleka. I can't believe I ran into you guys here. Well, I can because your modeling was amazing. I'm so proud of you. You've come so far from your school picture curse days." Juleka was blushing under Marinette's praise.

"I have you to thank for that, Mari. You were the one who got the photographer to take another picture so I could be in it. Plus, modeling for your site was such a huge part of my portfolio when I was applying to Gabriel."

"I should let you go get ready for your next set, but please text me." Marinette turned to address all three of them. "I've been missing everyone and work has been kicking my ass." Marinette had gone to a different lycée than the Couffaines and Rose, as well as about half of their class from collège.

After they graduated and went to university, Marinette fell out of touch with most of their old classmates when she started focusing on being a guardian and becoming a fashion designer. She usually only saw Juleka or Luka when she needed them to model something and that didn't offer them a lot of time to talk and catch up.

In addition to Marinette doing things to keep herself busy, it seemed like everyone was always busy with work (or in the case of Ivan and Mylène, planning their wedding). Marinette was practically clinging to her friend, trying to convey all of the platonic love that she had in her heart.

"Of course. We can put something together during the next scene," the guy said. He motioned between himself and the petite girl next to him as well as Marinette. Adrien looked at his face and he seemed vaguely familiar, but he couldn't tell where he'd seen him before.

"Let's go," Marinette suggested to Adrien and he placed his hand onto the small of her back to lead her back to his trailer. They took a bit of a long way around to keep away from prying ears.

"That guy, he seemed familiar," he told her, "from one of my nine lives."

I know that this isn't how resonant frequencies work, but it's what I could come up with! Hope you enjoyed chapter 2!
