Alya and Nino handle things surprisingly well when they found out. Well, better than Marinette and Adrien had anticipated at least. There was a lot of screaming and strangled hugs. Meanwhile, Nino shed a single mock tear and patted his friend on the back.

"Marinette!" Alya shrieked, "I can't believe you two are dating. I knew it would happen. Didn't I tell you it was going to happen? Didn't I tell you he'd realize how amazing you are someday? I am so happy for you!" Marinette giggled in response, unsure of what to say and embarrassed of the enthusiasm Alya displayed in front of her boyfriend. Adrien rubbed at the back of his head.

"Glad you finally saw the light dude," Nino chuckled. "I'm glad it went well. You were pretty freaked out."

"He was?" Marinette asked teasingly.

"No!" Adrien panicked. "No, I was completely normal about asking you out."

"Oh my God! Adrien as you out?" Alya screeched. "I thought for sure you would be stuttering all the way through an adorably awkward confession."

"Alya!"

After their friends, came Marinette's parents. Bets were exchanged. Marinette was embarrassed and almost offended when her father passed a couple of bills over to her mother. The older woman was smirking triumphantly shortly before they welcomed Adrien with open arms.

"I'm glad your date went so well! It's good to see Marinette out of her room and away from all the posters of your face. I'd rather she kiss a real person than pictures on her wall," Sabine cooed.

"Mom!"

The hardest person to reveal their relationship to was probably Adrien's father, who didn't seem to take much interest in anything of Adrien's social life. He looked at Marinette for an uncomfortable amount of time. His analysis of her made her fidget and squirm, which, she thought, probably wasn't giving off a good impression. Gabriel didn't say anything, but nodded at Adrien approvingly before leaving.

"He remembers you," Adrien chuckled, speaking fondly of the fashion competitions that she had won.

"That was scary. Scarier than usual," she remarked in return.

"Yea, but you'll get used to him. At least you got his approval," he pointed out. "In the mean time, this Agreste requires your immewdiate attention." Marinette giggled as her boyfriend wrapped his arms around her and littered her with sweet kisses.

"Adrien!"
