Chapter Text
Alya Cesaire, Nino Lahiffe and Lila Rossi were watching from their hiding spot as Ladybug and Chat Noir had defeated the latest Akuma. They had big grins after Ladybug made their Miraculous Ladybug (though if anyone had a look at Lila's, it looked to be more forced); Lila filmed it on her phone and her grin got bigger as Chat Noir once again asked Ladybug out for a date...
However the three teenagers witnessed as Ladybug uncharacteristically angry pushed him back and snapped at him saying "I am NOT in the mood to be dealing with your nonsense right now Chat... It seems that you have trouble comprehending that I will NEVER like you like that!" Ladybug with a glare to the shocked partner then used her yoyo to swing away with Chat giving chase up a building.
"Dude... What was that about? Is Ladybug having a bad day..." Nino asked as the three were stunned about Ladybug acting like that.
"Maybe we can catch her for a quick interview and ask..." Alya asked with a frown thinking that there had to be more to this than just Ladybug stubbornly not seeing the perfect guy for her (seriously her favourite superhero could be as annoyingly stubborn as her best friend Marinette sometimes). She then put away her phone and grabbed both of their wrists to start running to the direction.
"Come on Alya..." Nino complained to his girlfriend and Lila trying to think of an excuse not to go while trying to free her wrist; not wanting Ladybug to destroy Lila's illusion of them being close friends.
Alya had them chase around the area for minutes and Lila was about to give an excuse to leave when they came across Adrien quickly closing a trashcan lid onto it. "Hi Adrien; what are you doing here?" Alya asked with Lila giving flirty eyes as Adrien gave a cough and looked nervous.
"Just that... I was finishing a photoshoot and I saw Ladybug being harsh to Chat Noir." Adrien then said quickly as Alya and Nino seemed to accept it.
"Didn't know about any photoshoot Adrien; was this an emergency one?" Lila asked with a frown and Adrien looked to panic.
"...One that my dad had me do last minute... How about you?" Adrien asked as Lila made an act to look depressed with Alya comforting her and Nino sighed.
"...I knew it was never going to work..." Nino muttered with a sigh as Adrien looked confused and Alya sighed.
"I thought that it was what Marinette needed... I put together a special picnic with several of our friends and I asked Marinette to come over... I wanted to surprise her with Lila so they could work through their differences but..." Alya sighed as Adrien had a bad feelingabout this.
"I didn't mean for things to get this bad..." Lila cried as Nino looked to Adrien who just took this in.
"She was mad at getting tricked... Alya convinced Alix and Ivan to try and help her force her to stay so that she could give an 'intervention'... Never thought that thought that she could elbow someone as big as Ivan like that and Marinette snapped at all of us asking that even if they didn't want to believe her about Lila's stories being 'lies' that they shoudln't try and trick her like this... Alya and Marinette argued at this and most of them left... Rose and Mylene were in tears..." Nino explained using air quotes and Alya looked upset and Adrien was taking this in.
"Wow... Marinette should be making more of an effort..." Adrien forced himself to say as they nodded.
"I love my girl but seriously... Lila was in so much tears that we said that we would go get snacks together on our treat... Then the Akuma happened..." Alya continued with a sigh.
"...You know how Marinette can be but still... Can't she see how much she is bringing unncessary drama... That if she just got along with Lila... Is she trying to make me wish that she was never in the class?" Adrien asked shaking his head as Nino and Alya then sighed but Lila fought back a grin.
"The wish has been made." they heard a voice say to the confusion of all but Adrien looked in horror and panic.
"Gimmi no..." Adrien yelled as there was a flash and he opened up the trash can to find nothing there.
"Dude... Did you just remember that you put gummy bears in there or something?" Nino asked as they blinked with Nino mishearing what his best friend said; but Adrien gave a nervous cough.
"...Oh hey look... There's Ivan and Mylene..." Adrien said trying to think fast and the four then called out to them and waved.
The couple smiled and went to look but they looked oddly at Lila. "Adrien... It' s been a while... But while are you, Nino and Alya with... her?" Ivan asked as he and Mylene gave a look towards Lila making them stunned. Lila started crying causing the couple to shake their heads
"Did Marinette get to you? How could you upset Lila?" Alya asked furiously as the two just stared.
"Like we care about upsetting her considering everything that she pulled..." Mylene snorted and the couple then left leaving the four in a huff.
"Did she just..." Nino asked thinking it was a dream as she never imagined Mylene to act like that or say that. Adrien nervously looked to his fingers and noticed in a panic that a certain ring wasn't there and then checked his ears.
Adrien got an alert on his phone and then said "Nathalie is calling asking that I return home... See you at school tomorrow..."
"I should go as well... I got some calls to Prince Ali to prepare for." Lila then said as they then started to leave with Nino and Alya waving to them.
"Let's go to our homes ourselves and relax to get over what happened... Ladybug is probably long gone now and I should think about what to say to Marinette the next time we see eachother..." Alya then told Nino who then nodded.
"For the best; I don't think that she is in a mood to talk anyway..." Nino then said as they then leaned in to give eachother a goodbye kiss.
Nathaniel Kurtzberg was outside doing some sketching of the buildings outside with his notebook and ended up noticing Alya and Nino kissing at the other end of the street. "...Wow... Are they a couple now... Didn't think that they spent enough time for that to happen..." Nathaniel muttered before shrugging and getting back to work.
