Yeah I have no clue, where this story is going anymore and I'm kinda just winging it. It's not how I expected it to turn out either but I'm starting to like it, which will make it easier to write, just thought you guys should know that, so you know why it's kinda all over the place. On with the story.
Getting ready.
Chapter 7.
Being honest, Adrien was basically having a panic attack. It was definitely something he wasn't used too, he himself didn't know how he fought super villains on an almost daily basis and could crack jokes but the minute he was put in a situation where he didn't have a mask, he was a internally screaming mess.
"Dude, you ok? You seem kinda outta of it?" Nino asked, worried by his best friends behaviour.
"Huh? Oh umm, yeah, I'm just umm, yeah nervous? Because of the whole never been to a school dance before? Yeah that's it." Adrien knew himself, he wasn't doing a good job of convincing Nino, but hoped he wouldn't press the matter.
"Alright dude, whatever you say." Nino said rolling his eyes.
"Nice suit, by the way, I'm sure Ayla will appreciate the clean up." Adrien chuckled, also hoping to change the subject.
"Well we're about to find out, aren't we?" Nino said, gesturing to the bakery not to far up ahead... and Adrien's internal screaming was back.
Adrien straighten his suit as he got out of the car. The clean cut matt black jacket and pants fitted him perfectly. The dark green collared and cuffed shirt and loosely tied gold tie, obviously a shout-out to is altar ego, complemented his slightly messed hair.
He caught a glimpse of his friend straighting his own jacket, he had a forest green coloured jacket and freshly ironed pants. Nino wore a short sleeved, collared black shirt and surprisingly enough the boy had changed his usual red cap for a matching green fedora. Which actually looked quite natural on him.
Both boys were trying to hide their nervousness as Nino carefully knocked on the Dupain-Cheng's door. They waited for a bit and heard a yell from inside that came from Ayla.
"Mr. Dupa- I mean Tom can you please get that for me it's just Nino and Adrien." The girl said as best she could while running up Marinette's stairs.
"Sure thing Ayla." Another voice yelled, which the boys presumed was Tom. It took only another moment before the door was opened by the large smiling man.
"Hello there, come in, the girls are just doing a last minute makeup touch up." The man beamed.
"Thank you Mr. Dupain." Adrien said, while being guided to the couch by the same man
"Just Tom, no argument, just Tom." He smiled while patting both boys on the back as he sat them down.
"What about Dupain Dude." Nino laughed.
"I guess I could live with that, yeah alright, one exception."
(Marinette's and Ayla's point of view, around the same time Nino and Adrien started getting ready.)
Marinette said hello quickly to her parents and headed up to her room. She had wondered why Cat looked to be so deep in thought as she told her story, she soon realised it would be better to push the thought aside for now. Calling Ayla, who was already on her way, she got out the dresses and swiftly made sure Tikki was hidden in her new purse that would match her outfit.
Marinette heard knocking from her bedroom 'door', giving a few extra cookies to Tikki, she yelled 'come in'. The hatch opened and a smiling ombré haired girl walked in.
"Ok, you've kept me in the dark long enough girl, show me your handiwork."
"Not even five seconds and you are already demanding stuff, but what else would I expect from you." Marinette laughed and unzipped a clothes bag. She took out Ayla's and handed it to her, the girl let out a squeak and changed into the dress letting out a...
"Oh My God." As she looked in the mirror.
"What? Is there something wrong with it? To long, to short?"
"No! Girl, it's perfect. Like beyond perfect!" Ayla said, not to long after she did a little spin.
Marinette had to agree, Ayla did look really good and she was tempted to tell her she not allowed to wear any makeup but being totally honest she was excited when Ayla told her she would be wearing makeup to the event, Marinette had never seen her with a full face of it before. Marinette put Ayla's hair into a very messy bun in the middle of her head, it had two large pieces of hair out to frame her face and Marinette had also called up her mama to do Ayla's makeup. Sabine had done a small wing on the corner of her eyes and some dark brown and maroon eyeshadow. Topping it all off with black mascara and maroon coloured lipstick.
Ayla stepped into her black wedges, then told all the residents of the house to go down stairs, while she did a mini catwalk. The two bluenettes of the house went down grabbing Tom from the kitchen and waited for Ayla's big reveal.
Ayla walked down, hair and makeup just how it had been left. Her dress was off the shoulders and had an extra bit of material going across her bust, it cut off at the knee and the ruby necklace and matching ring she had put on worked perfect with the outfit. Ayla made it to the bottom of the stairs, waving like the queen. They all laughed before Ayla said...
"Alright that's enough of that, we have to get Marinette ready. If the boys are running on time, they should be here in an hour and a half." With that, everyone resumed their positions.
Marinette changed into her dress, receiving multiple compliments from her mama and Ayla. Some how the makeover duo had convinced Marinette to wear her hair down. Ayla curled the ends, while her mama put a full but subtle wing, with a lipstick that matched her lips skin tone, she applied small fake eyelashes. With it all done she told everyone it was time for her own runway show. With everyone gone, she put on her small healed shoes and a series of black and red bracelets on each wrist, she opened the black clutch bag to see Tikki.
"So Tikki, how do I look?" Marinette asked while the small kwami flew out in front of her.
"You look amazing! They did such a great job! I'm sure Adrien will notice you." The kwami winked in a teasing tone.
"Oh shoosh, you. I'll talk to after the dance." She said as the red ball wizzed back down in the bag.
Marinette went down the steps, she coughed to catch the attention of her friend and parents. They all gasped and smiled, she was breath taking to say the least. The dress she had made was a long sleeve of lace, it was slim fit and cut off mid thigh.
"Gorgeous! Honey, it's she beautiful!" Tom was acting like a three year old, but it only made them smile. They chatted for a few minutes and ate some cookies, when Marinette said she forgot her phone and needs to reapply her lipstick. She headed up stairs when Ayla got a call from Nino. Ayla was just heading upstairs to find Marinette when there was a knock at the door.
"Mr. Dupa- I mean Tom can you please get that for me it's just Nino and Adrien."
"Sure thing Ayla."
(Now we are back to where we left off with Nino and Adrien.)
"Hurry up girls, the boys are waiting." Sabine yelled, laughing.
"Coming!" Both girls yell in unison.
Ayla walked out first, doing the same queen style wave she did earlier. All the boys in the living room looked over when they heard her, Nino's mouth practically hit the floor, when she stopped in front of them. Adrien elbowed Nino's side causeing him to close his mouth and speak up.
"Hey Ayla, you look amazing by the way."
"By the way your mouth was hanging open, I could tell. By the way I'm liking the new look with the fedora." Ayla winked playfully.
"Hang on where's Marinette?" Nino questioned.
"I'm right here." She said, coming up behind Ayla.
"Damn Marinette, your outfits on point. Can't believe you had to make these dresses." Nino complemented.
"Thanks Nino, oh and hey Adrien, you okay?" Marinette tilted her head to the side as Adrien slowly raised his head to look at her for the first time. Long story short, he basically stopped breathing for a minute there. It would've been hard enough turning her down in a normal situation because she is his friend and looked so much like his lady, but he really didn't think it would be possible to do it when she looked like that! He was sure even Chloe would complement her sometime tonight.
Not trusting his own mouth, he simply nodded and smiled. If he hadn't of been so distracted he would've seen the smirks from all of the other people in the room.
"Well, I think we should get going. We promise to get them home safely Ms. Cheng And Dupain Dude." Nino said as they headed for the door.
"Alright kids, see you later, have a good time." Sabine said, while Tom laughed.
Nino and Alya sat together in the limo, leaving Adrien and Marinette to sit, awkwardly I might add, together across from them. The couple started talking, about random inside jokes which left Marinette and Adrien to talk by them selves.
"H-eeyy." Marinette stuttered.
"H-ii." Adrien stuttered right back. At that point both of them knew... this is going to be a long trip.
