They were led to two chairs close to the platform where they were going to be briefed. Nathalie was already waiting for them. 

When they were seated she turned to Marinette and asked:

" Since It's your first own photo-shoot Mr Agreste Gave you two choices. The first one is that you run the photo-shoot all on your own. So you will tell Adrien how to stand, the photograph what angle to shoot the pictures and so on. The second option is that you let him run the photo-shoot and to follow all his directions." 

Marinette thought for a bit. She didn't want to run the whole shoot because she didn't have any experience but on the other hand she wanted to prove that she was good enough to be a real designer. After some time she finally found the perfect answer. An answer that showed her both dignity and strength. "I've never been to a photo-shoot before so I don't know what is good or bad so I will let Mr Agreste lead the shoot but I would like to have some say in the pictures afterward, to choose the pictures that portrait my clothes in the best way, if that is alright with Mr Agreste."

If Nathalie was impressed by her answer she didn't show, she typed something on her phone and then said 

"Very well, you passed the second test, Mr Agreste was hoping you were going to say that. Vincent and I will tell you how you have to stand, Adrien will also help you since he has done this before."

With that she turned and left them alone again. Without thinking Adrien took Marinette's hand again to reassure her everything was going to be OK. Vincent came to get them and the photo-shoot started. 

Marinette had troubles understanding what she had to do but Adrien helped her every time and after an hour she finally started to relax around Adrien so that she didn't turn away every time he looked at her or flinched every time he touched her skin to adjust her pose. 

From that moment on the picture started to get better and they even had a few good shots. The first few hours they took picture apart both posing in various poses and with all different lights. Sometimes it was in the dark with just one spot, then they turned all the lights on to take pictures with a lot of lights. 

After 2 hours of pictures they took a little break to prepare everything for the couple shots. Vincent came over to Adrien with a looking very serious and a bit scary. " I know you are very bad with couple shoots but at least try to give me some good shots, this is for your friend after all." 

Weirdly with the Italian accent it sounded so much more aggressive than it actually was. Vincent first wanted to try out how they both did with the couple shoot so the first pose they had to do was just holding hands and looking at each other.

Neither Adrien or Marinette dared to look the other in the eyes. This made Vincent frustrated and yell at them. 

" No No, really look at each other, Marinette I want to see the passion for your work, the passion you have while designing these clothes. Adrien just think of your mama's spaghetti while looking in her eyes."

The moment their eyes met though all thoughts were lost. Marinette could only think of the pure green of Adrien's eyes and Adrien saw all the water of all the oceans in Marinette's. Vincent saw the passion he needed so he didn't ask what they were thinking but he knew it wasn't what he had said before, they had too much passion to think of simple things. 

He used that passion they had in the other poses, with every pose he made them stand closer and closer together. For the last pose Marinette and Adrien were so close to each other they were touching almost for all the length of their body, Marinette was looking towards the camera and Adrien was looking at her, he had forgotten that there were other people around them because he was looking at her with all the love he felt for her. 

Vincent recognized the look and used it to make his pictures even better he walked around looking for the perfect angle. "Now give her a kiss on the cheek" 

Marinette did not understand what he had said so she turned her head to ask if he could repeat. Suddenly two soft lips were on hers.
