Adrien got annoyed with the precautions talking them off before class. Miss Bustier started the class off by picking two students to compliment each other. She pick Chloé and Marinette.
"Do I really have to? She's an Omega. The lowest of the low and I have to be nice."
Chloé complained.
"Chloé, don't be rude. Adrien switch with Chloé." Miss Bustier ordered knowing that sending her to the principal office would just lead to a call to her to her father. Miss Bustier knew that Chloé strongly disliked Marinette and like Adrien, romantically. Maybe this was the push Chloé needed to follow orders.
Adrien and Marinette stood in front of each other. Marinette blushing trying to think of a compliment but he had so many things to choose from. "You have your mother's smile." Marinette blushed realizing that she had that to him before but as Ladybug.
"Thank you." Adrien smiled proud that he had inherited some qualities from his mother. "And you... give me a moment it's hard to top something like that." Adrien said. Making the class snicker at the twos' awkwardness. "It's not a competition." Marinette added.
Adrien was going to say 'you're a wonderful designer' but he got a good whiff of the nervous Omega's pheromones that Marinette was emitting. "And you're a good kisser." Adrien said swallowing the urge to kiss her in front of their fellow classmates.
Marinette held one of her hands over lips trying to hide her embarrassment as she slowly return to her seat next to Ayla who had a million question running through her mind that all had to do with mating.
Adrien sat by Nino who was supportive of a relationship between his two friends. Chloé gave Marinette a glare that felt like daggers to the back. Adrien in turn gave Chloé the 'protective glance' that Alphas gave to warn off other people to back off from threatening their mate or pups.
"Ridiculous utterly ridiculous. He picked Marinette? Ugh... " Chloé said to Sabrina just loud enough to here before the class divided up in the groups they were assigned in for the Alpha project.
"Alphas have..." Marinette blushed not able to finish say the sentence in the book that Alya had given her for the project since she had an extra copy. "Something wrong?" Adrien said leaning close to Marinette. "Nothing... It's fine... I'm fine." Marinette stuttered.
"Really?" Adrien asked raising an eyebrow. His hand had crept up on to her thigh. Marinette choose to ignore it but Alya and Nino were sitting behind them and could see Adrien's right hand that was bandaged do to self injury on Marinette's thigh.
"A Fated Bond pair are usually an Alpha and Omega. An Alpha's bond can only be undone by an Alpha sibling that shares the same mother and father as the Alpha in question." Adrien said turning the page with his left hand since his other was otherwise occupied.
"I'm so glad you haven't meant my brother." Adrien added getting a wide eyed expression from Marinette who had no idea that Adrien had a sibling let alone a brother. She had practically read all the magazines that even mentioned Adrien's name but there was never any mention of a brother, "He's older then me by seven years. He left home as soon as he turned eighteen and never looked back."
Adrien said thinking of the time when he asked his big brother when he would comeback and his brother replied with "Never."
"What's his name?" Marinette asked. "Felix." Adrien was going to remove his hand off of her because bringing up depressing memories was suppressing the urge to mount his friend. She grabbed his hand to his surprise she did not want him to remove it.
