A/N: One day I thought "Hey, Adrien is a model. He'd do lots of things Nino would consider 'girly', such as getting a manicure. What if Adrien has been trying to get Nino to do a mani/pedi with him and finally challenged him to do it during a game of Truth or Dare?" Of course it would require witnesses...
Double Date at the Nail Salon
"I can't believe you talked me into this," the DJ grumbled.
"You agreed to the 'dare', Nino," laughed Marinette.
"Cheer up, handsome. At least you're not the only guy here," said Alya.
"Trust me, Nino. You're going to love it." said the handsome blond boy.
"Yeah, but you're a model, Adrien. You do this stuff all the time."
"And I keep telling you, it's great!"
Nino grumbled good naturedly. He had agreed to the dare, so it was his own fault.
Adrien turned to the two girls. "Thank you for coming with us. I don't think he would have come with me otherwise."
"Are you kidding? I couldn't miss this."
"Way to support me, Alya," Nino grumbled.
"Babe, you know I love you. But this is way too good an opportunity to pass up."
"Yeah, an opportunity to embarrass me," Nino grumbled as they walked in for their appointment.
"Can I help you," asked the receptionist at the high-end nail salon.
"Yes. Four under Agreste for 12:00?"
"I have your appointment here. Adrien, right?" the woman asked.
"Correct."
"This way please," she said as she led them to the special chairs. They sat in couples, the two men in the middle.
"Okay, so how do we do this?" Nino asked as the girls were getting the nail polish removed from their toenails. He figured that if he was going to make good on this dare he'd better go in all the way. Especially since he had two witnesses to make sure it happened.
"Just take off your shoes and socks and roll up your pant legs to your knees," said Adrien. "The technicians will ask you questions - just be honest with your preferences. Then relax!"
"You're not going to make me paint my nails are you," Nino asked fearfully.
"Yes, but only your toes have to have a color." Adrien looked at his best friend, laughing at the panicked look on his face. "I'm kidding! Just do what I do, and get a clear or neutral color."
"I really hate you right now."
Each person had a dedicated nail technician. The first step was to soak the feet in the special foot bath at the end of the chair. Since he didn't really know what to pick, Nino just followed Adrien's lead.
While their feet soaked the two couples chatted about anything they could think of. Nino hated to admit it, but whatever the nail techs put in the foot bath was very comforting. He didn't even mind when the nail tech trimmed his toenails and filed at his heels, removing the majority of his calluses. The next step however…
"No. No way am I sticking my foot in a bunch of melted wax!"
"Come on, Nino. You promised. And it is part of the dare." Adrien's kitten eyes should be illegal.
"I've got to admit, Sunshine, I've never done the wax treatments during a pedicure before."
"Trust me, Alya, it's worth it," chimed in Marinette. "Adrien brought me here a few weeks ago, and the paraffin wax treatment feels soooooo good!"
Nino gave in. He was surprised at the temperature of the wax - warm, and comforting. The nail tech guided his feet (one at a time) into the wax bath, dipping it several times. They stayed with their feet encased in wax for about 20 minutes while it did its work, then the nail techs removed the wax and threw it away.
Nino couldn't believe how good his feet felt. He even allowed his toenails to be painted - in a clear coat. Then it was time for the manicure.
By the time all was said and done, Nino's hands and feet had never felt softer or looked better. He was grateful that Adrien didn't make him get any color on his nails, though the girls did. He had to admit that their nail art looked cute.
"So. What did you think," Adrien asked with baited breath.
"I still think that you have to do too many girly things to be a model," said Nino. "But I could get used to this."
"Yes! I knew you'd love it," Adrien said as he subtly fist-bumped Marinette.
"Just wait until the next Truth or Dare session, you two," Nino whispered as he smirked and walked out the door.
