Taken by Control (Mircaualus Soulmate AU)

Announcements and Graduations

Marinette's parents put on smiles when the kids told them the news that night. But deep down they were worried. They didn't think that Adrien was lying it made sense, that he was her soulmate. But did their daughter want to date this boy? Or was he making her? They chose not to ask. Adrien promised they would still come over for supper once a week and that Marinette would keep her separate room. They were happy that agreement and at least they would get to see Marinette weekly and check in her. He also hadn't asked her to move in sooner than then they originally agreed to so they could keep an eye on her before grad and maybe get her to talk.

"Adrien, Marinette how long have you known you are soulmates?" Tom leaned in.

Marinette looked at Adrien begging him to answer for her. "Well, after Father and I talked on my birthday, I knew Marinette was my soulmate, we talked about it on her birthday, but she was dating Luka so we agreed to the job thing... Then stuff happened with Luka and I wanted to give her space and then tonight we had a moment. And we agreed to commit to one another." he took her hand and gave it squeeze. She looked up and thanked him.

"But Marinette, you had planned on moving in with Luka?" Sabine took her daughter's hand.

"Umm, I had but this was job over made so much more sense and Luka and I were struggling beforehand a bit, and I was kinda on the fence." Marinette started to ramble, trying to hide the fact Adrien was making her do this. She just leaned into Adrien and hid, letting her parents think that talking about the break up was still too much.

Adrien held her close. Knowing that she was carrying the weight of the world. A weight he gave her, how did he fell about? Was this really how he got the girl of his dreams?

The following morning when Adrien told his father that his soulmate had agreed to date him, Gabriel was over the move. He wanted to meet her. "Actually Farther, you know her."

"I do?" Gabriel couldn't recall meeting a girl who was so obedient.

"It's Marinette Father." Adrien held up the My Lady Fashion Blog showing him the post she made about being Marinette and joining Agrest Indriesteries as an intern in the fall working alongside Adrien as he also interned for the company.

"Toms daughter? I haven't seen her since she was a baby, Tom and I handle business through the phone or through Nathalie. She's your best friend is she not?"

"Yes, Father." Adrien watched the wheels in his father's head turn.

"This is a story the media will eat up, we need to get it out before grad, so that way rumours can't fly. So let's do some photos at a picnic with her family tomorrow and then we will do a magazine interview and TV interview on Monday."

"Oh, that's not what Mari and I had planned, but I'll call her and let her know, can I let her parents bring the picnic?" Adrien had hoped they could keep it a secret a bit longer.

"That seems fine. I'll have Nathalie make the rest arrangements. This way we can make arrangements for Miss. Dupain-Cheng to move in with you and have her shadow, Nathalie, for a few days, with her parents."

"Alright, Father, Mari and I get to have our summer right? Our internships won't start until the fall right" Adrien looked hopefully, yes they still had the shoots and things to do but he wanted to give her a fun summer with what time would allow.

"Ah I remember my first summer with your mother." his father sighed and smiled, something he hardly did. "I wouldn't rob you of that magical first summer. Before Miss. Dupain-Cheng joins our family staff, we should go over your schedule and add in some fun things for you. Now, go call that girl of yours." Adrien could have sworn he saw his father's eyes sparkled. He left and made arrangements with Mari and her family.
