Interference
Summary:
Alya's plans to destroy Marinette's designs on behalf of Lila doesn't go as planned. It was easy for Alya to sneak into the Dupain-Cheng bakery since she knew the place like the back of her hand. As her fingers tightened around the handle of the scissors in her hand, she was more determined than ever to get up to Marinette's room.
She had stolen Lila's work and was trying to pass it off as her own.
Just like the bully she was.
Well Alya was going to show her!
After passing the dining room and living room area, Alya saw her destination in sight and she would rain down justice on Lila's behalf!
….Or she would have, if a pair of boots didn't stand in her way.
Alya froze as her gaze traveled up to the all familiar green eyes of Tom Dupain, it was more a younger version of the baker but they had Sabine's hair.
Somehow this person seemed familiar to her but she couldn't remember where she saw them.
They finally addressed Alya with arms crossed over their chest and a scowl on their features. "Can I help you?"
Alya seemed to finally snap out of her daze as she addressed them. "I-I'm Marinette's best friend!" Ex-best friend. A voice in her head reminded the reporter but she ignored it. "And she asked me to check on her designs!" Liar. You were going up there to destroy her work. The voice sneered but Alya ignored it again.
"With a pair of scissors?"
Before she could continue, they spoke again. "My sister has a best friend and I know for a fact you're not her."
Sister.
This boy was related to Marinette. That bully. And clearly made herself look like the victim to him, when the real victim was Lila.
"Please! Marinette has been such a bully to a girl named Lila and she stole her designs-"
Whatever Alya was going to say next was cut off by the boy's short laugh. "Please. My sister is not the type to bully someone." His eyes narrowed, suspicion clear as day in the boy's emerald gaze. "You claimed that my sister is a bully, stole some girl's work, and I bet you were going to destroy her hard work if I hadn't been here."
Alya's silence told Marino Dupain-Cheng all that he needed to know. "Some best friend you are."
"Now march." He pointed down the stairs and Alya had no choice but to obey.

And that was the day Alya found that Marinette was related to Marino Dupain-Cheng, the famous rockstar whose social media presence was slowly starting to reach levels of Jagged Stone and Clara Nightingale.
