Adrien and Luka had an unspoken rivalry. It had taken Adrien realizing he had feelings for their mutual friend, Marinette, to start it. Adrien tended to favor Mari throughout school and Luka tried to do the same outside of school. Many of their friends teased her relentlessly about her two admirers. Marinette always laughed it off.

"No way; I promise you, Adrien and Luka are only my friends." she would answer.

It hurt to hear her say it, but Adrien felt it was karma getting back at him for saying it for the first couple years of their friendship. Luka didn't look anymore thrilled to hear her answer then him, especially knowing Marinette has had feelings for him for awhile. Adrien had no clue that Luka had been vying for her attention long before their rivalry or that he had always been in Luka's way for Marinette. Adrien was just late to join the game.



For their senior graduation, Chloe had been nice enough to host a pool party for their class. There were a couple extra faces around the pool, but their were introduced as dates or relationship partners. Some of them, they had known about for years. Others were a complete surprise.

Both boys knew it was the perfect chance to get Marinette to notice them. Luka lounged on one of the cabana seats. Luka laid down, topless, showing off his slim figure. Adrien noticed him immediately when he arrived. He wasn't one to be out done. Adrien swiftly removed his shirt and winked at Luka as his jaw dropped. Adrien stood there, showing off his slim, but toned figure. He had the makings of abs hidden underneath a thin layer of fat. A quick look around told him that Marinette had yet to arrive.

Marinette made her entrance with an unknown guy by her side. It had taken everyone by surprise to see her with someone who wasn't Adrien or Luka. Marinette was quick to shed her dress to reveal a pink and black polka dotted bikini. Who knew that Marinette was so toned?

"Come on, Dami. Take off your shirt." Marinette spoke to her guest.

"I don't understand why you forced me to come." he spoke.

"You said we could do something I wanted to do today and later, we would do soemthing you wanted." Mari announced.

"Very well." the guy sighed and removed his shirt.

Suddenly, Adrien and Luka felt unworthy. Marinette's guest was more then toned; he was chiseled. It was very obvious that this guy worked out. The blush that took over Marinette's face made it fairly obvious that she liked what she saw.

Effortlessly, he scooped Marinette into his arms and jumped into the pool.

"Dami!" Marinette shouted, as she surfaced.

He only smirked at her reaction before she began to splash him with water.



Others had tried to vie for their attention, but Marinette was never far from his side and he payed no attention to anyone who approached him. Any guy that approached Marinette was met with a swift glare on his part. The message came through clear: BACK OFF!!! It wasn't until later that word got around, thanks to Alya, that the guy Marinette was with was her boyfriend.

Adrien and Luka were quick to notice Marinette and the guy she was had brought, were leaving the pool. They looked at each other and quickly swam to the edge as they left the area. They had one last chance to get their feelings across, even if it would end in rejection. They ran down the hallway of Grand Paris, trying not to slip and fall. As they entered the elevator, they raised their hands to call out her name, hoping to grab her attention. They simultaneous froze when Marinette leaned against 'Dami' and kissed him.

"So, what did you want to do tonight?" Marinette asked.

"Take over the world." Damian replied.

"How are you going to do that?" she giggled.

Damian gently pulled her closer to his body.

"You're already in my arms." He smirked, "It shouldn't be that hard."

"I'm your world?" Mari questioned, blushing.

"Every second of every day." Damian answered, as the door closed.



Adrien and Luka sighed and turned to face each other.

"Second place?" Adrien questioned.

"Tied for second place." Luka smiled back, extending his arm.

Adrien fist bumped Luka. They both glanced back at the elevator doors one last time and sigh.

"Bet I can do a bigger cannonball then you." Adrien teased.

"You're on." Luka winked, as they both rushed back to the pool.

It didn't hurt to give Adrien a head start. After all, it meant he got to admire Adrien's finely toned ass.
