Campus beauty, department beauty

Marinette stays a while watching the screen. Maybe the computer got damaged because of the splashed water? Maybe she read wrong or maybe he wanted to say something else... But the "marry me" is a bit difficult to confuse.

[Ladybug]: Mr. Noir ... Has your account been hacked?

[ChatNoir]: ...

[ChatNoir]: Have you seen the latest announcement about the last Couple Competition?

A couple competition? It's been a while since she participated in one. "I'm going to check the game's official page." Ladybug answers and opens the page in a new window. The first thing you see when you enter is "COUPLE PK COMPETITION" in big letters.

Marinette quickly reads the information of the event and before finishing it, she has already realized what it is about. In short, it's a series of battles in pairs of which the first three of each server will get a reward, and the couple that wins between the servers will gain the main price. Being among the top three of the server has a reward of good items, but the main price is an exuberant amount of Dimas. Just reading it, hearts form in her eyes and she starts drooling.

[Ladybug]: You were looking for me for this competition?

[ChatNoir]: Mhmm

[Ladybug]: why me?

[ChatNoir]: You are the player who is at the top of the female list, and with a big difference from the second.

...Well. That makes sense. But still she feels a little moved. ChatNoir is a very strong player, not for anything he is first among the guys. Besides, he has a lot of weapons and spiritual pets at really high levels. If she joins him, the probability of winning the competition is more than fifty percent. However, the first time she got married was to fulfill couples missions in the guild, is it okay that this time she marries for the competition?

But if you think about it, if you don't do it for missions or competitions, then why does one marry strangers in the game?

[Ladybug]: fine!

[Ladybug]: Let's get married.

Ladybug starts walking towards Amore's temple when ChatNoir stops her.

[ChatNoir]: wait

[Ladybug]: what is it?

Would it have been too direct? Marinette dismisses those thoughts when she sees the answer.

[ChatNoir]: I need to make some preparations.

[ChatNoir]: in three days at eight o'clock.

[Ladybug]: Prepare what?

[ChatNoir]: the wedding ceremony.

A ceremony? Does ChatNoir want to do all the ritual for the wedding?

[Ladybug]: Only the inscription in the temple is enough.

[Ladybug]: we're getting married because a competition, is not it enough with a small wedding?

[ChatNoir]: How ChatNoir's wedding can be so simple?

[Ladybug]: ...

"Marinette ..."

Marinette looks up from her homework and sees Rose who is pressing her lips in a straight line and the fingers of her hands seem unable to leave her skirt in peace.

"Are you okay?" Marinette asks seeing how nervous she looks.

Rose nods and talks to her again. "It's about your computer... I think it doesn't turn on anymore."

Marinette's eyes open like to discs and she turns her gaze to where her computer is, at the table in the center of the four girls' room. When Marinette approaches the computer and tries to turn on the computer, it doesn't. "What happened? Yesterday was working perfectly..."

Rose speaks again with a nervous tone: "Today in the morning ... Chloé and I tried to cook noodles when-"

"You and Chloé were cooking?" Alya, who had been watching her two friends from the top of her bed, asked with a confused face. Marinette had also raised an eyebrow, the two of them cooking? The only thing that Rose knew how to cook was the frosting that was placed on top of the cupcakes and Chloé only went to the kitchen to take out the makeup that she put inside the refrigerator at summer.

"I said we were trying!" Rose screamed in embarrassment. "The thing is that when we tried to get the noodles out of the pot, Chloé burned her hand with the hot water and her screams made me spill the water on the table..."

While Marinette was listening to the story, she started to open the back of the computer to see the amount of damage. "Is pretty bad? I promise you that after my classes I'll take it to the technician. Chloé must also be finishing her classes..."

"I don't think it's necessary" Marinette smiled at her to calm down her a bit. "Some minor damage was done, but it's nothing I can't fix. I only have to buy some spare parts in the store in front the university and exchange them with those who have burned." Rose, who hadn't understood at all, simply stared at her, Marinette laughed a little. "What I want to say is that you don't need to take it to the technician. I was just going to take a break, so I can go buy the parts and fix the computer by myself. Just concentrate on arriving on time at your class, which you have about five minutes left. "

Upon hearing this, the blue-eyed short-haired opens her eyes wide again, quickly grabs her backpack and runs out of the room. "Thanks for telling me!"

"Do you want a ride?" Alya asked as she climbed down from her bed. "I also need to buy a USB at the front store."

The two girls left the dorms and got on the brunette's motorcycle. While crossing the campus, Alya took advantage of the fact that nobody could hear them to question the blue-haired girl.

"Now, are you going to tell me why are you in such a hurry to fix the computer?"

"Hurry? I am a computer student, I can't be a day without the computer. In addition, I am very responsible and I worry about my homework." Marinette joked. "Besides, it's much cheaper to do it myself."

"Yes of course ... we are in the same faculty, obviously I know." Her friend rolled her eyes "But Rose and Chloé would pay for it, and the technician will take only a couple of days, tis not too much. Do you need it this weekend? "

"... I might have a date in the game ..."

"Ohhh ... Could it be with your husband CenturyWarrior?"

"How do you know that?"

"..."

"You spied on me again!"

"Of course not! You left the computer on a couple of weeks ago and I saw the chat open. I just read his 'husband' status and that he asked if you could send him a photo... which, by the way, did you send it? "

"Of course not!" Marinette replied in the same way. "I like that the game has some anonymity, it's not necessary to know the player's faces. Also, the relationship between us was due to couple missions and we end the relation a couple of days ago. "

"Huhhhh... that's why I never recommend online relationships."

"You say that because you already have a boyfriend."

"I would say it even if I did not have one." Alya said with a slight blush on her face which, although Marinette is behind her, she can sense it. "Then who are you going to meet?"

Before she could answer, they arrived at the entrance and noticed a group of girls surrounding the news panel. Unable to stand the curiosity, Alya stopped the motorcycle and approached the panel. Marinette stayed waiting due to the amount of girls. When her friend returns, she takes her hands with a smile.

"Mari! You're going to like this." She lowered her tone a bit. "The male basketball game between the Science and Language department is tomorrow, and it seems that Adrien Agreste will participate."

Adrien Agreste. Hearing his name Marinette is more interested in the subject. Although they are in the same department (Science-computation), the two have not crossed paths or interacted in any way. Among the main reasons would be that he does not usually stay in the dorms because he has an apartment nearby; and that Adrien is a year older than her. Being the most popular guy on campus, it is normal for girls to be excited to have the opportunity to see him in sportswear. Marinette has to admit it, Adrien is really handsome; however, that's not the main reason why he attracts her. Adrien is also the best student of the faculty and she is fascinated to see his work at the exhibitions. A handsome and intelligent man, even with his own company, can someone be so perfect? The only thing would be that he is also known to be cold and that never had a girlfriend before... which causes some rumors, but who is she to criticize? She was called a crossdresser because she didn't want to upload a photo...

"What do you say? Do we buy tickets for the four of us? Although we're going the Science students, we can see the handsome Language boys too... "Alya says with a mischievous smile.

"Didn't you just said that you have a boyfriend?"

"Yeah. But I also have eyes to appreciate what I see. "

Marinette rolls her eyes again and accepts. "Okay, but do it later, let's go to the store first."

The two resume their journey and a few minutes later they arrive at the store. Without having to search a lot, they find everything they need and approach the cashier to pay. Before them there are two girls who seem to be buying a computer battery. The owner of the store shows them three types and recommends the smallest, which despite its size, is the most expensive. Marinette to see the dilemma of the girls decides to help them and recommends the battery of medium price, which is compatible with more machines. The girl who seemed to be the one who needed it, who had long brown hair and green eyes, was about to respond her when the other, the girl with black hair and amber eyes, whispers something in her ear. The green eyed girl thanks her, but says that the owner must recommend always the best and that if the product is expensive it is because he needs to earn money. What logic is that? Alya controlled herself to not shout at them and getting kicked out from the store.

"What do they think they are? Just because they have money doesn't mean that they can see us with superiority." Alya left the store fuming. "We aren't in computation for anything."

Marinette, who doesn't care much, just shrugs her shoulders.

"Mari, do you at least know who she is?"

"Should I know?"

"It's Lila Rossi! The crowned 'campus beauty'. I bet you that the photo that she sent to the contest was totally retouched, you wouldn't have been second then. Her friend is Colette Dumont."

"Contest that by the way, I did not sign up." Marinette shoots her a look.

"Again with that? I swear it wasn't me! "

"..."

"So she was Marinette Dupain Cheng?" Lila asks Colette when they are further away from the store. "She didn't look like a bad girl ..."

"Ha ha, she's the one who wants to take away your position of 'campus beauty', just because they consider her the 'computer department beauty' she shouldn't think that Adrien will choose her." Colette describes Marinette with a tone of disgust. "You can't trust her."

"You're right ... appearances can be deceiving."

"Guess who has a date!" Kim entered the room excited to meet three others without any reaction. "You're not going to say anything?"

"Bro, I already have a girlfriend" The brunette in one of the beds above answers him.

"Shut up Nino, you and your imaginary girlfriend. I thought the five you were here, but at least the computers dudes are there." Kim lets out a sigh. "Tomorrow I'm not single for sure."

The boy with turquoise hair lets out a small laugh. "You always say that."

"At least I have a date, not like you, Luka."

"At least I'm not desperate for one."

"Ok, ok, with who are you going to a date then?" Nino interrupts the small discussion.

"Believe it or not, Lila Rossi asked me to meet at the computer room C. It seems that her computer battery is dead."

"Lila Rossi? The beauty of the campus? Why would she ask you? "Nino is the one who laughs this time "And since when are you interested in Lila?"

"I'm not interested in Lila, what interests me are her friends. She told me to bring Adrien too, so I'll leave her to him."

Luka starts to tease him again. "Why? Because you can't compete with him?" Kim throws a pillow at him.

"Of course not, I just feel sorry for him. He's single and he never had a girlfriend before, apart from the rumors, which not that I'm against of it, but I don't think that's the case. "

Adrien had remained silent or, rather, ignoring them with his book. "No thanks."

Nino turned to see him "Really? Lila is not bad..."

"I'm getting married tomorrow in Miraculous Voyage. Kim, you can go out with her if you want."

"..."

"YOU'RE GETTING MARRIED!?"

Author notes

Sorry for the delay! My computer is failing and it took me a while to load the pages. I've already introduced other characters, but there are more. In the previous chapter I asked for recommendations for the extras, many thanks to everyone who commented (FF and AO3), I will put them later. But I think some people got confused... I have already organized most of the characters in the story, what I need are names to put in public chats in the game. You can continue the names recommendation and always, Thanks for reading!
