Chapter Text
“Hey, have you heard Adrien and Marinette are dating?”
That was the main gossip among the students of Collége Françoise-Dupont. A tabloid had published pictures of the young couple holding hands and kissing on the park.
It took less than twenty four hours for the news to spread. They both knew it would happen sooner or later, but they didn’t expect for people to find out so soon.
They had been dating longer than most people thought. They had been together as Ladybug and Chat Noir for two months. Even Alya and Nino, who knew how long they friends had been “hanging out”, were impressed by their discretion.

“I’m so sorry the pictures were published.” He apologized again.
“It’s fine, Chaton. It was meant to happen sooner or later.”
“I know that, but I’m not exactly thrilled about how public my life if, and I don’t want you to have that burden.” He explained.
“I know, Kitten, but it’ll be fine. It’s not like we’ve been hiding anything, we didn’t tell everyone, that’s different, they probably already know.”
“Yeah, they probably have. Let’s get to class before Alya and Nino make the rumors even worse.”

“Hey, Love Birds!” Alya greeted as Marinette and Adrien entered the room. “Don’t look at me like that Mari, everyone knows.”
“Yeah, dude, I can’t believe it took so long for people to realize.” Nino agreed.
“It’s not like we were trying to hide it anyways.” He protested.
“Marinette, I need to talk to you.” Chloe demanded.
Adrien was about to say something but Marinette stopped him.
“I’ll be right back.”

“So, what do you need to tell me?”
Marinette asked as nicely as she could, she was determined to be nice to the mayor’s daughter, since she was Adrien’s oldest friend. The girl expected Chloe to say anything but what she said next.
“I know we are not really friends, but Adrien is one of my best friends. He seems to really like you, and you seem to really like him back, so… Could you take care of him?”
“Of course.” Marinette smiled.
The bell ringed, announcing class was about to start.
“We should go inside.” Chloe said. “But, Marinette, could you do me a favor and not go around telling people what we talked about? I have a reputation to uphold.”
