Daminette December 2022: 28-Family

The Parisian class stuck together as they were taken hostage by one of Gotham City's rougues. They patiently waited for Batman and the others to rescue them. Lila had told them, for months, how she personally knew him. That she was a civilian aide for the Bats. The whole city knew who she was, but pretended like they didn't to give her a sense of normalcy. The class cheered as Red Hood and Red Robin swing in to rescue them. Many of them looked around, but they couldn't find Batman.

Bruce Wayne sighed as he walked out of the car to the crime scene. He had a board meeting he couldn't get out of and had sent two of his sons to help. Dick and Damian were stuck as civilians with the rogue. It wasn't until Commissioner Gordon called him that he was able to cancel the board meeting for a later date. He quickly explained that he had to pick up his sons' from an attack and the board could see it was an important matter.

Bruce saw Red Hood and Red Robin were talking to some of the officers. Dick and Damian were walking towards him and thankfully, looked unharmed. Bruce noticed a girl not far from them and sighed. He walked passed his two boys and grabbed her arm. He started pulling her towards the car.

Marinette started to struggle and tried to dig her heels into the ground as a stranger pulled her away from the class.

"Let me go!" Marinette shouted, trying harder to get away.

The class watched helplessly as Marinette was once again in a hostage situation. Many people turned to see what was going on. When they saw what was happening, some of them chuckled and went back to what they had been doing. Marinette noticed the car looming closer.

'I hope this works, Maman!'

Marinette quickly turned and grabbed the back of his suit jacket. She kicked the back of one of his knees and when she felt the man's knees buckle, she quickly used her weight as leverage and tossed him to the ground.

"What the fuck do you think you are doing?" Marinette shouted, standing over him.

Bruce laid very still on the floor, confused. He could see the murky clouds and hear the lights from the sirens. It wasn't hard to notice the red and blue lights rotating in the sky. Dick and Damian rushed over to see what was going on.

"This psycho is trying to kidnap me!" Marinette shouted, pointing at the guy on the ground.

The Wayne brothers looked at her and then each other.

'Not again.'

"B, what were you doing?" Dick questioned.

"Trying to take you sister home." Bruce replied, "How hard did I hit my head? Your sister sounds like she's speaking a different language."

The eldest son laughed. The youngest sighed.

"Miss." Damian began.

Marinette glared at him.

"I apologize for my father." Damian spoke, "He is extremely tired. He's had a long couple of nights this past few weeks and early mornings the next day. The man next to me is one of my adopted siblings; they all have dark hair and blue eyes. He thought you one of his adopted children. He thought you were our sister."

Marinette looked at him in shock.

"I-I have parents!" she cried out, "I don't know him! Is that how he got all his other kids, just took them off the streets?"

Damian smirked, " Sometimes. Although, I doubt they minded when Bruce Wayne asked if he could take them home to live in our manor." as Dick picked up their father and dragged him to the car.

Marinette turned red and stammered, "Br-Bruce Wayne?"

Damian gently grabbed her hand and placed a kiss on it, "Damian Wayne."

Mari wasn't sure if she was turning a new shade of red.

"Oh no! I'm going to get out class sent home" She shouted, "We're the class he sponsored from Paris!"

The Wayne heir chuckled, "I can assure you, you have nothing to worry about. Our father will likely be the one apologizing to you. Too many late nights and too many board meeting make for a disastrous combination. We'll be making sure he is well rested. I'm sure we'll meet again, Miss Dupain-Cheng."

Damian strode over to the car and the Waynes took off.

Marinette collapsed on the ground, as her legs gave way.

"Give her some air!" GCPD shouted, escorting people farther away from her.

Gordon chuckled, "Never thought I'd ever see him that tired."

Marinette looked up to the older officer, "Does that happen often?"

"Him claiming kids?" He asked, "I think he has eleven, now, but only a few of them are adopted. My daughter goes to his place, too. She use to date one of his sons; now they're friends."

"Oh." Marinette whispered.

"But, his kid is right." Officer Gordon commented, "Usually the adopted ones have dark hair and blue eyes."

'Weird.'

"I think it's just because they remind him of himself." the commissioner continued, "As you can tell, Damian gets his skin tone and eyes from his mother. Other then that, Kid is the spitting image of his Father at that age. Weird to see him grown up a second time."

Marinette looked at him curiously, "How long have you known Mr. Wayne?"

Gordon frowned, "Almost his whole life. I was one of the officers who responded to his parents' murder. Happened tight in front of his, as a child."

'He's building his own family.'

"If I see him again, I'll make sure to decline his request." Mari smiled, "As nice as it sounds, I have my own parents in Paris."

Commissioner Gordon offered her his hand and helped her up. He decide it was best that he personally took her back to her class. It might also keep the media vultures at bay.

"I apologize about the confusion." Gordon chuckled, "He's just a tired man, who thought he was takign his daughter home. His sons will sort him out and make sure he sleep. I have no doubt about that."

The moment she reached the class, Adiren hugged her.

"Are you okay?" He shouted.

Alix shoved him away, "Forget that! She flipped him!"

"Yeah!" Nino shouted, "How'd you do that?"

"Maman." Mari answered

Her friends winced.

"Makes sense." They all commented.

Marinette saw that the commissioner looked confused, "My mother taught me."

"Ah." he smiled, "Have a good rest of the night."

Adrien, Kim, Alix, Max, Juleka, Nathaniel, Nino, and Chloe quickly checked over her.

"I'm okay." Marinette smiled.

Chloe's smile quickly turned into a frown, "It's ridiculous! Utterly ridiculous for you to get kidnapped!"

"I'm not the one who wanted to come to the most crime ridden city in the United States." Marinette commented.

Her group of friends glared at Lila and the others.

"That's right!" Kim snarled.

"It's their fault Marinette almost got kidnapped!" Ali screamed, pointing fingers at them.

"We said we should read up on the Rouges." Nino claimed.

"I believe many cities were offered up as alternatives." Max stated.

"Metropolis." Nino called out.

"Los Angeles." Nathaniel pouted.

"Star City!" Adrien whined.

"But no." Chloe rolled her eyes, "Liar Rossi knows Batman."

"He saved us!" Alya retaliated.

"No, Red Hood and Red Robin saved us!" Adrien exclaimed.

"Batman wasn't here to assist us." Max announced, "He did not appear before us and he did not speak to Lila in any way or form. He isn't even here at this scene. Surely he would have spoke to his civilian aide, if she is that well known by the city."

"Neither was Nightwing or Robin." huffed Nino.

"Or Black Bat." Juleka declared.

"Or Signal." pouted Kim.

"Or BatGirl!" declared Alix.

The rest of the class shifted uncomfortably as the other group made sense, yet again. It was only by one vote that they had decide upon Gotham and now they were coming to regret it.

Bruce Wayne blinked his eyes open and looked around the room.

'I'm home. I don't remember coming hime. How did I get here? Maybe Alfred or the boys know.'

Bruce got dressed for the day and descended to the dining hall for breakfast.

"Sir, I am going to tell you that you are banned from accessing the batcave and patrol for the next week." Alfred announced, "You require a large amount of rest."

'Am I sick? I don't feel sick.'

Bruce looked around the table to see his eldest boys snickering. Damian on the other hand was glaring at him.

'So not sick.'

"What-" he began to ask.

Damian slammed his phone down in front of his father and pressed play. Bruce watched as he grabbed a young girl's arm and attempted to drag her with him. They appeared to be at a crime scene. When they got close to the car, she grabbed his arm and flipped him onto his back.

'Well, that explains why my head hurts. Not a concussion, but close enough. Also explains why it looks like Damian is about to grab one of his katanas.'

"I don't remember this." Bruce stated.

"You were too tired." Tim chuckled, "You always go on and on about how I need to sleep. Looks like your sleep demon finally caught up with you."

"You claimed you were taking 'our sister' home." Dick smiled, "You claimed you must have hit your head because she wasn't speaking English."

Bruce groaned.

Damian grabbed his phone and sneered, "I had to explain you were nothing more than a sleep deprived buffoon and who you were. She's a foreigner; she's part of the class trip that you sponsored!"

Alfred set down a cup of coffee, a thermos, and some asprin in front of Bruce.

"Do becareful not to adopt anymore children today, Sir." Alfred stated, leaving the room.

As Bruce left the room, Jason called out, "So how are we placing the bet? Two hours until we have a new sister?"

'It's gonna be a long day.'

Bruce gulped as he noticed the class in the lobby of Wayne Enterprise. He took a breath and walked towards them. He could tell some people recognized him from the other night, by their warily glances.

Bruce cleared his throat, "Um, I'm told I tried to take someone home with me?"

Marinette peeked though and smiled. She moved through the class and held a box out in front of her.

"These are for you." She smiled, "Damian and Mr. Gordon explained how hard you work, Mr. Wayne."

The class froze and Lila backed up a bit.

"I often work too hard and the days blur together so I know what that's like." Marinette continued, "These are caramel and pretzel cookies. Damian said they were your favorite, after asking Alfred."

Bruce remained speechless.

"I'm sorry." Marinette frowned, "I do have to turn down your offer. I love my parents and they are in Paris. I'll be returning to them once the trip is over."

Bruce nodded, "Of course. I apologize again Miss Dupain-Cheng. Is there any way to make up this misunderstanding?"

"Just....accept the cookies?" Marinette replied, holding out the box again.

He smiled and took the box, "I hope the rest of your trip is enjoyable."

After Bruce walked away, her friends surrounded her.

"They guy who tried to kidnap you was Bruce Wayne?" Chloe shouted, "Ridiculous. Utterly ridiculous!"

Marinette blushed, "Yeah. His son told me he was sleep deprived and the office said his adopted kids had dark hair and blue eyes. I just sorta fit in."

"Yes, it is quite the coincidence, but 100% accurate. The three boys he adopted were all of different nationalities, but the common look they all had was dark hair and blue eyes. His biological son resembles him tremendously, but has green eyes." Max declared.

"My parents probably would have packed my bags and handed me over." Nino chuckled.

Adrien laughed, "So would Father."

"You sure you don't want to change your mind?" Alix asked, "You could run after him."

Mari laughed, "No. I'm good."

Bruce smiled as the elevator dinged, to take him to his office floor.

Bruce took the box to this office and set it on his desk. He opened the box and saw an envelope placed on top of the sweets. He took out the envelope and a cookie. He placed the cookie in his mouth and smiled at the taste.

Hello, Mr. Wayne.

I'm sorry about the trouble for yesterday. I thought you should know that you should look into a student in the class named Layla Rossi. She prefers to go by Lila. She has been claiming to have connections to you and your family, that she knows Batman's identity, and various other claims.

I've already spoken to her and I've tried to get her to see the error of her ways, but she doesn't care. She claims to only be telling people what they want to hear. I'm sure you don't wish to hear about some random girl growing up with you. There should be a USB in the envelope; inside details all the lies and a list of what Lila has done. It will also tell you where to find proof and who you should contact.

Marinette Dupain-Cheng

Bruce inserted the USB into his laptop and brought everything up.

'She was right. It's very detailed. It was as if Tim had found everything for her.'

Bruce thought back to the smile she had given him as she turned down his gratitude.

'Smart and hides behind a smile. Much like how he portrays himself in front of the board and media.'

Bruce quickly picked pup his phone and dialed Damian.

"What?" Damian questioned.

"You are your mother's only child, right?" Bruce asked.

"Yes, why?" Damian asked, concerned, "What has Mother done this time?"

"Nothing." his father answered before hanging up.

'Well, Damian has no knowledge of her. Was this to convince me not to adopt her? If so, it wasn't working. Does she know I'm Batman?'

Bruce brought up the background check on her. Her parents were both alive and well. Her father was French-Italian and her mother was Chinese. Neither of them had contact with Talia or the League.

'Not adoptable, but she would be a good addition to the family or Wayne Enterprise. Damian talked to her the other day. He was even defensive of her at breakfast.'

Bruce picked up the phone and redialed his son.

"What now?" demanded Damian.

"Ask out Marinette Dupain-Cheng!" his father shouted.

Damian remained silent for over a minute, "Father."

"Win her over!" Bruce commanded.

The Wayne heir sighed, "You can't adopt her so you wish for me to persuade her through marriage."

"Yes." Bruce smiled.

Damian hung up the call. Bruce knew it was a long shot, but all his other kids were too old for Ms. Dupain-Cheng. When he got word that the class was leaving, he rushed downstairs to apologize once more. Imagine his surprise when he found Damian, dressed in a suit, speaking to Marinette and kissing her hand. She was even smiling at his son! Bruce watched as Damian led her away and out of the building.

'Damian listened to me!'

He was so letting Damian get another pet!

Marinette sat across from Damian at a small café, nearby.

"I had an interesting conversation with Father during lunch." Damian spoke.

"Oh?" she probed.

Damian smirked, "My father suggested I ask you out on a date because it was illegal to adopt you."

Marinette laughed, "When do you plan on introducing me as your girlfriend? We've been together for two years."

"I'll let him think it was his idea, for now." the Wayne heir answered, making his girlfriend giggle.

"I do wonder what you did to my father." he spoke up.

"Huh?" Marinette asked.

"He questioned if I had a sibling." Damian replied.

Mari smiled, "Oh, I gave him all of my data on the liar and fed him a type of cookie with Dupain-Cheng flair that you told me he liked.

"Smart. Can cook. Wayne looks." Damian began to list off, "We best be careful, Habibiti. I fear Father will push for a proposal, after four months, if I don't scare you away."

"Oh no." Marinette sarcastically declared, "What ever shall we do?"

"Do you think Alfred or Father would faint first, if I introduced you as my fiancée instead of my girlfriend?" Damian questioned.

"Neither." Marinette spoke, "After everything you've told me about them. I'm guessing Todd."

Damian chuckled.

Thinking about how Marinette's gift for Adrien ended up in the trash and how post-reveal Adrien definitely regrets rejecting it, because that was a special gift made just for him from Ladybug herself, he just didn't know that at the time.

Though, with them dating now I'm sure Marinette's making him plently of new hand-made gifts!

FIC: "How Do I Look?" (MLB; Lukanette; Sprint Fic)

Rating: Teen & Up

Characters/Pairings: Luka Couffaine, Marinette Dupain-Cheng; Luka Couffaine/Marinette Dupain-Cheng

Summary: Alya’s making Marinette go out, and Marinette really doesn’t want to. Luka’s not sure he wants her to, either.

Author’s Notes/Warnings: The week before Thanksgiving is always a little nutty at work, and I did some sprinting to unwind. From November 2023’s Sprint Challenge Prompts over at @lovebugs-and-snakecharmers, using the social media prompt that said: “The single most important thing a man can do to be an ally is give his woman friends permission to give dudes at the bar his number so when they call he can angrily say that’s not funny because she died 15 years ago that very night.”

Just a reminder: LBSC Sprint Challenge Guidelines: Three 15-minute sprints to write the fic. 24 hours to edit/post.

“How Do I Look?”

“I really don’t want to go out tonight.”

Luka looked up from his Cheerios at Marinette’s voice, his spoon still in his mouth. His eyes widened when he saw the red dress she was wearing, and he almost swallowed the spoon when she sat on the edge of the table and gave him a pouting look. Between the smoky eye she had painted on and the deep red lipstick that drew his focus to those kissable lips…yep. He was swallowing his spoon. And tongue. And…

“You…you’re going out tonight?” he asked after a moment, when he finally felt like he had regained some sense of composure. Barely.

“Unfortunately,” she sighed, bending to slip on a strappy pair of heels that just…weren’t fair. She glanced back at him, a smirk on her lips like she knew exactly what she was doing to him. “I’d much rather stay home in my comfy jammies, with my favorite emotional support musician and a tub of ice cream. Binge watching bad movies.”

He…liked the sound of that, actually.

#miraculous ladybug #luka couffaine #marinette dupain-cheng #lukanette #endgame lukanette #lukanette endgame #ml fic #ver fic #lbsc sprint challenge #liberties were taken with this prompt #alya salt #light salt #getting back together #and they were roommates #just kiss already #I don't even know guys half of this was written in a sleep-deprived fever state 😂

Volpibug Au part 3: Time to spill the tea

Guys idk how long I can keep coming up with titles that rhyme...please send help... Hello there everyone, and welcome back to my insanity! So, I have a treat for you all! I- I kinda forgot to mention I decided to make this Au into a Lilanette. And I thought, well why not show this? It's a fic I posted that takes place in early S3 (timeline-wise), where Lila is already a part of the hero team (and actually shows up to fights now instead of being a complete troll), and is kinda sorta slightly interested in Marinette. It's a long story as to why exactly because there is a time jump from Glaciator to here, and I haven't explained, but I wanted to show this Lila in her full glory! It's a standalone anyway so who needs context? Here you all go! Enjoy and feel free to give feedback!

Even Rich People Deal With Late Shipping Sometimes

Something is off with Tim's Coffee™ and he just doesn't know what it is.

HMB Bingo Board "Did You Put Something In My Coffee?" + Fluff

************************************************************************

RIIIIIIIING!

“Ughhhh”

“Whyyy?”

Every day was the same thing. The alarm had been ringing for the past 30 minutes. Only one of them woke him up, the rest just served to annoy him so he’d get up and start getting ready.

“Come on honey, you have that meeting with the board today that you can’t miss.”

“I can never miss any meetings anyways; it doesn’t matter if it’s with the board or not...”

Marinette has to admit, it didn’t matter his age, Timothy Drake-Wayne always managed to look cute when pouting. Maybe it was because it was so uncharacteristic of him that made it so endearing and needed to be saved as a precious memory.

“Yes, I’m aware. And I’m sorry for that, but you were the one intent in inheriting the company, so you kind of have yourself to blame for that.”

Insert Tim Drake-Wayne pouty glare.

“Alright, alright! Hahah, if it’s of any comfort, Bruce and Damian also have to be there for today’s meeting?”

“Really? That’s certainly better than dealing with those old snobs alone! I won’t be miserable by myself!”

“I don’t think I’ve ever seen any family relish in others' misery as much as you guys…”

“I’m sorry honey, but you already know how it is with them, eat or be eaten!”

“Yes, yes Tim. Now go and wash up, I’ll start on breakfast.”

—-------------------

Just like she’d told him, Marinette went into the kitchen to prepare breakfast, only to come into a block she never thought they’d ever stumble upon.

Where’s the coffee?????

Marinette’s caffeine deprived brain was struggling to comprehend why she couldn’t find the coffee. It should be in the exact same place as always! The second cabinet in the top left corner!

She ended up looking everywhere and, by the time Tim was out of the shower and started getting ready for the day, she had turned the kitchen upside down and there was still no sign of the damned coffee grounds.

With some help from Tikki (Marinette swears she’d never get anything done if it wasn’t for the tiny Kwami), she ended up calming down enough to process her thoughts for what could possibly have happened to their precious godsent beverage.

Turns out, they had actually run out and, a simple look at the calendar in the fridge and she could tell they were supposed to get their latest shipment two days earlier. Opening the shipment tracking app, she found out that they missed on ordering the previous month for extra stock (like usual) and ended up only getting the regular monthly shipping, which had actually been delayed because of some sort of storm and, since the storm still prevailed in the area, all flights had been delayed and/or cancelled depending on their destinations. And guess what, North America was one of those destinations that were “Cancelled Until Further Notice”.

NOW WHAT???

Marinette was so close to pulling her hair out from the stress. How was she and her boyfriend supposed to survive their lack of proper coffee “Until Further Notice”???

Turning around the stove to turn off the kettle of boiling water, she happened to land her blue eyes in the container pushed almost all the way to the back of the cabinet and, if there’s one thing Marinette is, is curious.

Curiosity killed the cat.

So, she grabbed the container to find out it was instant coffee from one of the times Connor had been over and commented on how their coffee was too much trouble to prepare in the morning “with all those boring and time-consuming steps”, so he ended up getting himself a bottle of instant coffee from the store.

Curiosity did kill the cat, but satisfaction brought it back!

She had hit Jackpot!

It was no special roast carefully observed to reach the perfect level of bitterness along with the exceptional flavouring and meticulously packed and shipped at the appropriate storage temperatures to maintain all the properties farmers worked so hard for while also keeping it fresh when it reached their front door and, eventually, ended in their perfect mugs.

So, with the determination to still get some kind, ANY kind of caffeine in their systems that day, Marinette set out to make instant coffee for what was probably the first time in her life.

By the time Tim came out of the room, fresh and almost ready to start a new day, she had accomplished the feat of making a cup of instant coffee for the two of them, along with a couple of pastries to accompany.

She just had completely forgotten the fact that Timothy Drake-Wayne had never, in his entire life, had anything other than the best and highest quality of coffee specifically imported from tropical countries to quench his thirst for the blessing that was caffeine.

And, when Tim saw the slight mess that was the counter, and the anxious look on Marinette’s face, he knew something was up. Marinette may be clumsy, but her kitchen was never a mess. It was a sacred place for her after all.

He decided to shrug it off, she was often stressed about something, maybe she’d just gotten a message from one of her clients that left her out of sorts for a hot second. The rest looked perfectly normal anyways, so there was really no reason to be worried.

That was what he thought, at least, until he took a sip of his coffee.

It took everything in him not to just spit it out, simply out of respect for Marinette who had gone through the trouble of making it.

When he looked at her, she was looking right back at him through the rim of her own mug.

“Mari?”

“Hmm?”

“Did you put something in my coffee?”

“No?”

“Why do you sound unsure?”

“TeChNicAlLy. I didn’t put anything in our coffee…”

“Technically?”

“Yes! You see, APPARENTLY, there’s been an issue with our coffee shipment this month and we hadn’t stocked up last month and now we’re out of beans and “UnTiL fUrThEr NoTicE” we won’t have anything and then I found the bottle of instant coffee Kon got last time he slept over and that was our only other resource and I just couldn’t let you go to that boring meeting without caffeine lest I wanted you to snap at someone for breathing and I also needed some sort of pick me up and-”

“Marinette, honey. Breathe. In and Out.”

Repeating his actions and instructions, Marinette managed to somehow calm down from the anxious stream of words coming out of her lips in the usual Marinette Ramble™.

“It’s ok, it happens to everyone. I guess even with all the prime and premium subscriptions, even billionaires have to deal with late shipping sometimes.”

“But... your coffee?”

“It’s fine Bean, I was just asking because the taste felt off and I wondered if in your sleepy state, you could have missed a step or let it sit for too long and it saturated the flavour. To be honest, you could have just told me, and we’d order something to go from the cafe shop nearby and then get something better fitting for our tastes at the company. You know they are kind of required to always have a coffee fix for us if they want us to work properly, so we should be fine for the next 30min until we get there dear.”

“Ah, that’s right... I’m so used to taking my own tumbler of coffee that I tend to forget about the company cafe unless it’s an emergency” Marinette would have facepalmed if Tim wasn’t already holding her wrists and, having her so close to him only gave her the option to drop her forehead on his shoulder. His hands immediately dropped her wrists to fall on her waist in a hug.

“We could even ask for a bag from the storage until our shipment arrives. Or, you know, we could always drop by the Manor. I’m certain that Alfred has a storage room dedicated only for our coffee in case of emergencies like this, so you don’t need to stress so much over it.”

“You’re right! I didn’t even think of that! I honestly don’t know how you’re so calm. I thought you’d be the one skirmishing over this, not the other way around.”

“Because, if I’m not calm then there’s no one to help you calm down and then we’d both be a mess and would not be able to do anything.” the chuckle that left his lips should have been somehow offending, but Marinette settled to just snuggle up to him for a bit more before getting ready for the day, now with the reassurance that they’d still get their coffee fix for the day and that the shipment delay wouldn’t affect them as she thought it would.

15 minutes later and they were both out of the house, the instant coffee now cold and long since forgotten on the dining table, the rest of the pastries arranged with some fruit and cheese for the Kwamis to maintain themselves while the couple was out.

At the end of “Reunion” I find it so interesting when Marinette says

the fact that Marinette immediately finds an impediment to her potential relationship with Chat Noir, is almost entirely in line with what she is doing with Adrien. In short, it almost seems like Marinette is purposely sabotaging any chance at having a romantic relationship.

Jeanne (Joan of Arc rather?) never said that this was the eventuality of miraculous holders. In fact, what led to her own decision to give up her miraculous, was a very unique set of circumstances that don’t even apply to Marinette. Marinette, and Chat Noir for that matter, aren’t being forced by their rulers/governments to fight in a war against one another. More importantly, their powers aren’t being taken advantage of by their countries. The main factors that led to Jeanne giving up her miraculous had little do to with her love for Dark Grimalkin and had much more to do with her desire to leave her position as a pawn of the state.

Marinette, as she often does, catastrophized her situation and came to the worse possible scenario, that she either had to choose being in a loving relationship or being Ladybug.

I think that Marinette’s question here is less based on reality and is rather, more indicative of her current state of anxiety. As many people have said before me, Marinette stresses the most over situations that she can’t control, and being led by her emotions, her falling for another boy, her opening herself up to the possibility of rejection, all take a lot of her control out of the equation.

When Adrien first begins to show serious interest for Marinette, is when she asserts that she isn’t in love with him, this is when she avoids him, and flees situations where he might reveal his feelings to her. Marinette here, is attempting to gain as much control possible, if he never confesses, she never has to deal with her still lingering feelings, she never has to worry about the possibility of more between them.

This is the same thing she is doing here with Chat. It’s interesting to note, her conclusion that “she has to give up her miraculous to be with him” comes after the line where she says that a love story is possible between Ladybug and Chat Noir.

In truth, Marinette, doesn’t fully want to be in a relationship with him. Does she love him? Yes, but she is also afraid of the unknown and of what she can’t control. It is no coincidence that the aforementioned lines go hand-in-hand. She has no real intention, as Tikki so frankly says in Passion, on making good on her feelings. It’s really Marinette’s anxiety that is creating the one actual boundary between herself and getting what she wants.

Whether it is Adrinette or Ladynoir, or even a PRPR relationship that becomes canon first, there’s no denying that what must come before that is Marinette facing her fears and anxiety and allowing herself to finally be with the one she loves.
