Miraculous One-Shots

Young Love

Nino waved to Marinette as he and Alya waked down her stairs. Marinette had volunteered to take care of Ella, Etta, and Chris per request. Surprisingly, Nino was taking Alya out on a date. It was usually the other way around. Before they exited the bakery, Nino grabbed some macarons from Mrs. Cheng. As he turned back to wave back at her, she winked at him, smiling. Nino held up a macaron to Alya. It was an orange cookie with vanilla filling. Alya smiled up at him, grabbing the macaron. She took a glance at Nino's macaron.

"Care to tell me why our macarons are this color?" Alya asked. Nino looked down at his own macaron and took a bite. His macaron had pistachio cookies with matcha filling. He shrugged.

"No reason. I just know you love orange."

Alya punched Nino's arm and took a bite out of her macaron. Nino resisted the urge to rub his arm. Growing up with Nora, Alya knew how to punch. Spotting a dumpster in an alley, Nino tugged Alya into the alley.

"What are you doing?"

Nino didn't reply. He simply brought her behind the dumpster. He shoved the rest of his cookie into his mouth and pulled out two identical boxes. Alya gasped.

"How—"

Nino smiled, "I asked for a favor. Once she found out why, of course Ladybug agreed."

"Well, I still don't know why." Alya said as she took the box from Nino, still gaping at him.

Nino chuckled and opened the box. A green light emerged in front of him.

"You will soon enough." Nino said, as Wayzz grinned at him. "Go on. Open yours."

A confused Alya opened her box. Trixx appeared in front of her.

"I'm so excited!" Trixx giggled, causing Wayzz to shush her.

"What are you all not telling me?" Alya asked, as she placed the fox miraculous around her neck.

Nino put on the turtle miraculous, "You'll find out. Wayzz, shell on!" As Nino transformed, Alya muttered her transformation words nonchalantly.

As Rena Rouge, Alya looked at her boyfriend. "Alright, Carapace can you tell me what's going on now?"

Carapace patted Rena's cheek, "You'll see. Care to come with me?" He extended a hand to her. Rena took it and together, they jumped onto the rooftops. Beckoning her to run with him, Carapace started running towards the Eiffel tower. He looked behind him to see the sun about to set. Carapace halted on top of one of the rooftops. It had a bunch of roses lining the sides. He sat down at its edge Rena Rouge was right behind him.

"What are we doing here?" Rena panted.

Carapace patted the space beside him. Rena sat down. He took her hand. "Isn't this a beautiful sunset?"

Rena looked at the sun, "Yeah, it's gorgeous."

"Did you know this was the best rooftop to watch the sunset on?"

Rena looked at him, "How do you even know that?"

"Cat Noir told me. Said this was the most romantic place to watch the sunset."

"Nino," Rena paused, flabbergasted, "you did all of this" she looked around, "for me?"

Carapace laughed, "It was difficult convincing Ladybug, but yeah, Alya. I did."

Rena Rouge rested her head on Carapace's shoulder as they both gazed at the sun setting over the horizon.
