[EDITING] Growing up together, Adrien Agreste and Marinette Dupain-Cheng become inseperable. The classic trope of childhood best friends. Expectedly, Marinette takes a romantic interest in Adrien. On the other hand, Adrien does not see Marinette as anything more than just a friend and instead grows very dependent on her. However things take a turn for the worst when Adrien starts to bully Marinette. Why? She knows. She knows the real reason why and she accepts it. Blinded by his own suffering and succumbing to her own kindness. Two broken teens and so many regrets. But honestly, they wouldn't change a thing.

This fanfiction is an AU, meaning that it takes place in an alternate universe, without the existance of the superheroes, Ladybug and Chat Noir. This story is purely Adrienette and is my own story, plotwise. Characters in the story are not mine and I, in no means, take credit for any of the characters mentioned in the story.

At 16 years old, Marinette prepares for the chance of a lifetime. Internships, closer to defeating Hawkmoth, overcoming the awkwardness between her and her crush... but when her parents decide to leave for a baking contest in the states, she's told she can't live in Paris on her own. Determined to find a place to stay for the time being, Marinette comes across the only other option. Living with your crush seems exciting- I mean, it's a chance to get closer to him, right? But instead, what lies ahead is a road of rumors, lies, danger, confusion, awkward teenagers, and quite a few secrets that begin to turn both Adrien and Marinette's lives upside down. While fighting for both of their identities, both are busy with their lingering emotions. Will either of them be able to confess how they really feel to one another before the year is up? Or will they forever remain oblivious to each other's identities and feelings? (previously #1 in miraculous and miraculousladybug)
