Miraculous: Tales of Love and Reveals

Missions, Mayhem and Just A Pinch Of Love

Set at the beginning of season 4, after truth and lies but before gang of secrets. I just like timing the reveals in that timeframe ok! Also for reasons, they are roughly 18 around this time. The reason. Because a movie that is mentioned came out in 2019 and I am just going to say that by this time they are 18.

Oh and quick about the long one-shot. I've decided it deserves its own story so I'm currently writing it separately. I'm sorry to disappoint you guys. I will however, once I'm certain it will be out, post a little sneak peak here just for you guys. 

Adrien was on a mission.

On a mission to cheer up Marinette Dupain-Cheng.

It was a top secret mission. He hadn't even told Alya and Nino what it was or that he was planning on doing it.

He just texted Marinette to ask if she was free and when she, after typing for a few long minutes, finally responded with an indefinite yes, he had asked her if they could spend the day at her house together.

It took her a bit longer than a few minutes this time (try a few hours- "Seriously Marinette! Just text him," an exasperated Tikki would shake her head besides the girl who was fretting), before she replied that she would be delighted to spend time with him. He had also asked her not to tell anyone, making the excuse that he only wanted to spend time with her without any interference. Which, in hindsight, it was actually true.

Their friends were really nosy and he just wanted to see if he could help Marinette on his own.

He did tell Nathalie that he had offered to help tutor Marinette in physics as she was falling behind and, since his schedule was pretty scarce today, Nathalie (and by extension, his father) did not seem to mind that he was doing so. But if his father found out he was hanging out with anyone other than who he had said, he would be mad at him. He told Marinette that too. It meant she was more likely not to tell anyone other than her parents that they would be spending time together.

All in all he had five hours (could you believe it!!!) To complete his mission.

The day they decided to meet at her house was a weekend. They made sure that it was deliberately on the same day their best friends had decided to take Ella, Etta and Chris out to the zoo and then to see the movie How To Train Your Dragon 3 after that. (Adrien had been invited to the premier of the movie and had gotten to watch it as soon as it came out in France. And when he had heard that they had a whole Netflix series, he wasn't ashamed to say he binged watched the episodes whenever he got the chance. He was the one who recommended they take the kids to watch it.)

(Yes this is just me shamelessly promoting my absolute love for httyd because if there was one series I had to be buried with, I'm sorry miraculous, but httyd is my very soul and existence. It's coming with me to the grave.)

Before he left and after Nathalie had checked up on him, making sure he got all the resources he needed to 'help' Marinette with her physics, Adrien quickly slipped in a certain game- he had received early to beta test and had only just came out in stores recently- into his satchel.

He successfully made his way out of the house without his father's usual watchful eye making its presence behind him- he was probably in one of his work coma's where he wouldn't be heard from for longer than usual in a day. Nathalie would always have an aggressive look in those moments when he asked about his father, always muttering about some butterflies that his father was working on or something. Perhaps his father's new line would be butterfly inspired.

He slipped into his seat and, as usual, put his seat belt on before the Gorilla could grunt in disapproval. Once the privacy window shut between them (when they were alone, Adrien always requested it so he could speak to Plagg a little easier) he let his kwami out from his hidden spot in Adrien's jacket.
