Dabble in Drabbles 39: First Date Shenanigans

I've actually written this down before (I should check out my notebooks more often if I have no ideas) and I decided to type it up. It's pretty short. Still a DJwifi.

Summary: In which Nino has a first date with Alya and Adrien has terrible fashion sense.


"Dude, you've got to help me! I've got a date with Alya!"

Adrien was surprised. With zero dating experience, he was pretty sure his best friend would never come to him, but here he was, pacing around frantically in his bedroom. The supermodel blinked and then smiled.

"Sure!"


"I'm here!"

Marinette paused from calling Alya and turned around, breathing a sigh of relief. "Finally. I thought you were going to be late or stand her up or - what are you wearing?!"

Nino looked down. Black leather pants with a baggy neon green shirt paired with red army boots, finishing off with his hat and some yellow shades. She was staring at him in horror, her face a slight shade of green. "Is this okay?"

"Okay?! Nino you're a fashion disaster!" Marinette grabbed his arm and rushed up her room. "Didn't you have decent wearing clothes in your wardrobe?!"

He began, "Well, Adrien-"

"You went to Adrien?!" Nino winced at her high pitched shriek.

"Well, Adrien's a model-"

"Have you seen his shoes?! They're orange!"

That should've tipped him off, really. But with the pressure of a first date and trying to look good, of course one would go for a model, right? Nino said, "Well, yeah, okay. But I had no option!"

Marinette glared at him and pointed at herself. She raised an eyebrow. Nino grinned and raised his hand up in defense. "Okay, so I have you as an option. It just slipped my mind. Well then, transform me, Ms. Fashion Designer."

Marinette snorted and rolled her eyes as she opened one of the multiple boxes in her room labelled 'Men's Wear'. After finding what she deemed 'first date worthy', she thrust them at him and pushed him in the bathroom. "Hurry! Alya's gonna come any minute now!"

"Whatever you say, your highness."


The date went great, Nino was given stares (not because of his terrible clothes - the opposite actually) much to Alya's amusement and his discomfort, and Nino learned that Adrien did not actually pick his own clothes.

"Well, I've always worn the clothes the way they dressed me in the shoots." Adrien had said one day when Nino asked. Adrien grinned. "The shoes were my pick though."

And when Adrien's first date finally came, it was Marinette who suggested the clothes for him.

Needless to say, even if they were best friends, Nino would never trust Adrien's fashion sense again. Even if his life depended on it.


headcannon that Adrien has terrible fashion sense, even if he's a model. C'mon really, he wears orange shoes!

A question for all of you in regards to the Teaspoon threeshot, is it bad if I adapted from that drabble and made a spinoff out of it? There are passages that are the same (obviously because it fits the story) and I've made changes here and there, but the story still goes the same way.

Will it be a problem with plagiarism rights? It's still mine though… Is it bad? Will my account be reported or deleted? Oh gosh, I'm scared. I don't want this account deleted.

Anyway, hope you liked it! See ya'll next time!
