Marinette and Adrien's class goes to a class feild trip to China (which in this story is Marinette's old home before she and her family moved to France ). While Marinette reunites with old friends a certain Adrien Agreste starts to get jealous when an old friend of Marinette starts hanging out with her more than usual. Will this lead to secrets being unraveled? Will love ever bloom between Marinette and Adrien? DISCLAIMER: I do not own the characters of miraculous ladybug nor the fanart used in the cover. THEY ALL BELONG TO THEIR RIGHTFUL OWNERS. Thank you and enjoy the story.

"Nino, come on. We're just friends! That's it." Adrien assured Nino. "Yeah, sure. Say what you want. But I'm just saying, you and Marinette look good together." Nino reasoned. "I don't care, Nino! Marinette and I are just friends. Nothing more." Adrien said, letting out a small chuckle, though, his tone of voice was slightly harsh. Marinette wanted more than "just friends". But when Luka comes around, she decides she's satisfied with "just friends", bringing all of her "lovey-dovey" emotions to Luka. What happens while Luka's around and Adrien gets jealous of Luka and Marinette? Could it lead to a depressed Chat Noir, a cross Adrien, a determined Ladybug, a confused Marinette, and maybe even the reveal of the identities of two heroes to one another? But that's not gonna happen, right? Marinette and Adrien are "just friends". Right? Read the story to find out! DISCLAIMER: I do not own any of the characters nor do I own the show "Miraculous Ladybug"/"MLB". All I own is the plot. I do not own the cover.

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)
