Hey everyone! Here is the second gift for JuliaFC! You may have seen her name floating around my fics. She has been my beta and friend since forever, and I wouldn't be half the writer I am today without her. This one is for you! Lots of love and melty camembert hearts!
Also I don't own the characters, just the plot! Enjoy!
Adrinette
"I'm going to do it. This time for sure!"
Alya smiled at the bluenette's excitement and determination. She couldn't count how many times Marinette had said those words. She watched the bluenette walk over to their resident sunshine child where he was talking happily with Nino.
Being her best friend, she was a step behind her, ready to give her bestie the chance she needed.
"A-...I-... Hi! Umm…" Marinette fiddled with the gift behind her back, her words blending together in her rush to get them out, "I-wanted-to-gake-you-a-mive-I-gift!"
Alya facepalmed, looking over her glasses and seeing Adrien's 'Marinette' smile gracing his face. The reporter would bet money that Adrien had just as big a crush on Marinette as the bluenette did on him. No one who didn't have feelings for someone didn't, no couldn't, make those kinds of soft loving eyes.
And Adrien Agreste only gave those eyes to one girl.
"You want to give me a gift you made?" Adrien managed to work out the messy tangle of letters that passed as words for Marinette. Alya had to give the boy kudos for that.
Marinette simply nodded, bringing the gift forward and holding it out to him. Alya took that as her cue, grabbing Nino by the arm and dragging him away before he could protest.
But protest he did, as soon as they were out of earshot of their friends, "Alya come on! I wanted to see!"
"You can see just fine from here. She actually managed to give him the gift, give them a chance!" Alya half angrily-have amused whispered.
Nino pulled her to a stop, letting out an exasperated sigh, "No Alya wait, you are going to want to see,"
"YES!" Marinette squealed suddenly, causing every head to turn in her and Adrien's direction.
Marinette threw her arms around Adrien's neck seconds before he lifted her up and twirled her around. Alya's jaw dropped, making Nino laugh, "I was trying to tell you, my man has been trying to ask Marinette out since our trip to New York. He was going to wait until Christmas but after yesterday,"
"The akuma?" Alya asked, her eyes locked on their friends smiling and laughing without a care in the world.
"Yeah, apparently Adrien got hit, and it showed him what his life would be like without her." Nino grabbed Alya's hand, "He was a wreck last night. Called me at two in the morning freaking out and wanting to make sure it was just a dream."
Alya felt her heart swell in joy, watching the loving kiss they shared.
"He told me he wouldn't be the same if he had never met her. He was adamant that he couldn't lose her, even after I told him a million times that he wasn't going to lose her." He watched happily as his best friend held the beautifully kind hearted girl in his arms. "The Moth man terrorizing the city isn't cool, but at least this once,"
"It turned out in our favor." Alya finished for him, squeezing his hand and turning slightly to smile at him. He gave her a subtle smile before taking her back over to their friends.
Alya immediately saw the glint of rose gold at Marinette's wrist, a small trinket with an infinity symbol on it that definitely hadn't been there before. Words flew past the bluenettes lips as she approached, making her have to try a little more than usual to decipher 'Marinette speak'. She squealed with her friend at the obvious news that the designer and model were now dating, their happiness climbing higher than usual as the ship she'd been waiting to sail finally took off. Nino gave Adrien a fist bump, but it made her think, seeing the way Adrien and Marinette's hands linked up despite their gloves.
Watching them walk to class, not a single stutter fell from her friends lips. In fact as Adrien whispered something to her with a cunning grin, Marinette actually groaned and pushed him away. Adrien whined her name when she walked off, saying something about... a cat being left in the cold? Why did that sound, like it meant something more?
The comment made Marinette giggle, and she kissed the blonde model again softly when he caught up to her. Alya could see the tremble in his legs, the way his entire body seemed to relax all at once. He was practically melting on the spot. For some reason, she almost imagined a tail on him, swishing back and forth happily.
Alya shook her head, shaking the lingering thoughts from her mind. Her friends were finally together, and gushingly happy. It was all she had ever wanted for them, and she wasn't going to question the Christmas miracle in front of her. Marinette and Adrien were meant to be, no one could tell her otherwise.
She squeezed Nino's hand, telling him, "I think they'll be the ones to make it to the end."
Nino nudged her arm gently, kissing the side of her head, "We will too." Alya blushed, but nodded, pulling the DJ to class with her as thoughts of what their lives would be like in ten years lit a warm fire in her soul. She knew that no matter what turns they took, the four of them would be together, friends until the end.
