Every boyfriend was uniquely different, each earned a different unique aspect of Marinette. Each built a different aspect of her.
Her first boyfriend, Nino, earned her sweet honeymoon side. She wore earbuds around her neck, and kept her hair in a high ponytail with a purple streak. She wore jeans and hoodies and hardly ever talked, but she expressed herself perfectly through her actions, she was introverted. And not the least bit coordinated. Her thoughtfulness.
Her first mutual but unofficial "relationship" went to Max, though if you asked, they would both deny it. They bonded over their love for gaming, during their short but sweet unofficial relationship, Marinette wore her hair in a headband, it had beaded strands, and she wore dorky geeky t-shirts, stylishly having long tank tops under, so that her short but baggy shirt contrasted brilliantly. She wore skinny jeans and sneakers. She was more extroverted, so she was obviously clumsier. But she was also more confident, gaming was always her forte, after all. Her confidence.
She dated Nathaniel, a fellow artist. She would say now that she just wanted to give him a shot, she had a mellow crush. But in reality, her crush was gigantic. She adored him, and he liked her enough (something he'd pay for later, since he would achieve a huge case of crush-it's on Mari). She would start designing thanks to him. She made him a scarf, of course, he didn't really appreciate it at first, and he kind of too her generosity for granted. Assuming she'd always be blinded by love he never tried to win her over, that is how he lost her. This was the first time Marinette ever broke up with her boyfriends. Her and Max just fell apart, mutually deciding on friendship, while Nino and her never really actually ignited.
But dating Nathaniel was what started off her passion for fashion.
So, it makes sense when she starts crushing on Adrien. Crushing so much that it caught the attention of the whole class, everyone except the obliviously naïve boy. Eventually, Adrien is nudged in her direction, and she falls deeper in.
Anyone can tell that this is a deeper, stronger than any other relationship, even Nathaniel. And one day she confesses to Chat Noir who was flustered, confused and delighted. However, he recovered quickly and encouraged, practically pleaded, for her to ask Adrien out.
She did, the next day she boldly walks into the school and... trips, sadly. But thankfully Adrien was there to catch her.
And she summons her Ladybug confidence and puns him into a date.
He says yes immediately.
They lasted the sophomore year through junior year. Her longest relationship, she was so devoted to Adrien that she pushed Chat away, gently but it still stung the black cat.
"Sorry Chat. But you shouldn't come anymore, I feel like I'm lying to Adrien."
"But we're not like that."
"That doesn't change that you come to my room every night; I spend more time with you then I do with Adrien."
"So, now that you have a boyfriend your pushing me away? You don't need me now that you have Adrien Agreste?"
"Kitty, you know very well I don't like him because he is 'Adrien Agreste', and it's not like that at all."
She takes a deep breath and looks at him in the eye, "I care for you so much, you know that. But this is a secret and I don't like feeling like I'm wronging him. We can still hand out but not at night, and not this often."
"Fine." he growls and stalks into the night.
Marinette cries herself to sleep that night.
They broke up due to all their added responsibilities, with Marinette's deadlines for fashion school, designing like crazy. Sending applications for internships, and Adrien was more booked than usual.
They fell apart, too much stress and superhero service and not enough time together. They were bound for failure.
When she dated Adrien, she wore her signature pink in pig tails, with the occasional headband. She was shy and strong, class president honors student, and brilliant fashion designer.
Epitome of perfect, just like him
Despite their toxic ending, Adriennete helped them both out so much.
Then came Luka, musician, soulful, kind and older. She'd be crazy to deny him, and she was. She denied him plenty of times, despite how happy he made her, she was too upset over her breakup and things weren't crazy. So, while Luka and Marinette never became an actual item, they were still a possibility, with their casual flirting and way-too-friendly gestures.
But Marinette never let it happen, some may think it was because of Adrien's clear jealousy, but she didn't think so. He wasn't jealous, just hurt. She was hurting too, and she needed to do that alone.
Her artistic view of the world. Her unique perspective.
Adrien was totally jealous, not that she knew that...
After she rejected him, people thought she was never interested. Boy, where they wrong!
Her last relationship throughout high school was surprisingly with Adrien's alter ego, Chat Noir.
And a rando night while Chat Noir was doing patrol, he swings by to see his Princess crying at her balcony. He stayed and comforted her. Helping her lick her wounds.
Chat and Marinette's relationship was secret, spontaneous and real. It involved ratty pajamas' movie nights, staying up late talking, surprise balcony dates, and a whole lot of coffee.
Her carefree nature. Her innocence. He did shelter her an awful lot after all.
He is probably the reason he remained so friendly with Adrien.
Chat and Marinette loved passionately and fearlessly. They always had time for each other and the only thing that wriggled between them were the secrets, his secret identity, her hidden alter ego. But their trust was strong enough to push that away for a whole year.
Marinette interned for Mr. Agreste, but she not once saw Adrien. She left to London, leaving Chat Noir with a strict warning to tell her if trouble arises, to tell Ladybug she means.
He didn't call once.
What's up with Chat? And Hawk Moth, did he give up? I NEED INSPIRATION!
