ML fic: Almost Perfect

(I have had this idea in my mind all day, and I think I won’t be able to sleep until I wrote it.)

_______________________________________________________________________

A blond man in his mid twenties wearing a Gabriel brand black suit sat at his desk, he put his hand through his golden hair as he was looking through the recent sales reports of the Gabriel fashion line. He was relieved to see that the sales had once again surpassed expectation. His sharp green eyes look through the large document that also addressed expense reports. 

It was tough having clothes made in factories with humane working conditions and benefits for employees, the young Agreste had to argue for months with the board of directors to get approval. The old fat cats claimed it would bankrupt the company, that it would be an even worse hit to their finance since the arrest of Gabriel Agreste. But the son of the fashion mogul was not one to simply accept how things were, not after the last time he did that. The Gabriel brand was stronger then ever with the business genius and strong will of Adrien Agreste.

It was a rough couple of years at first, inheriting the company at 18, while still managing his college degree. But compared to fighting Hawkmoth, it was a cake walk.

He smirked contently at the document, the next board meeting will be very interesting. His mental congratulations were put on hold when he got a call from his secretary.

“Natasha? Yes. Excellent, send her in.” The businessman answered with a light yet firm voice.

He was meeting with the head of another fashion brand. One that had been growing in the last few years. Miraculous had hit Paris and most of Europe like a category five hurricane. Second only to the Gabriel line and very quickly closing the gap.

The office door opened to reveal a stunningly beautiful woman with eyes as blue as the sea and bluish black hair that looked finer then silk. She was dressed with a designer suit that was tailored to her made her look even more dazzling.

“Good Afternoon Mr. Agreste.” The woman spoke with a polite yet friendly greeting.

“Good afternoon Ms.Dupain-Cheng. Or is it Mrs. Dupain-Couffaine now.” The blond man returned her greeting with a joke, which was met with an eye roll.

“Dupain-Cheng is fine. Luka has yet to get back from his band tour. He says he will propose when he gets back. If he doesn’t get booked on another tour. But you know how it goes.” The Fashion designer answered.

Luka Couffaine and his band, Kitty Section, have taken the world by storm. They hit their big break about three years ago where they signed the deal of a lifetime. Right now he had been touring for the last four mouths in the United States. Marinette had her own Fashion brand to manage and design for, so she couldn’t go with him. Luka achieved his dream of being a rockstar with music that was all his own. Adrien couldn’t help but be happy for the guitarist, He had everything he wanted.

“So should I be calling you Mr.Agreste-Tsurugi” 

Adrien snapped back to reality after hearing the comment.

“Very funny. I plan on proposing after she gets her gold medal in the olympics in six months.” The blond businessman answered.

Kagami Tsuragi was training for the Olympics. She basically ate, drank, and slept fencing for the last year. She stops by to see him once a month to have dinner and rest. Kagami’s skills in fencing had far exceeded anything Adrien deemed possible without super powers. He loved and respected how dedicated she was, though it does get lonely when she isn’t visiting.

“If she gets her gold medal.” Marinette joked, knowing that it was pretty much guaranteed to the fencing prodigy.

“Well if she doesn’t get her gold medal, I am gonna have to wait a while before I can propose, if ever.” Adrien answered as he rubbed his neck nervously.

“That is Kagami for you. I would expect nothing less.”

The two looked at each other and laughed.

“Its good seeing you again Marinette.” 

“It is good seeing you too Adrien.”

The two talked business for a good amount of time. The Gabriel and Miraculous brands were planing on a collab for next spring. If everything goes right they could rake in a very large sum of cash. Natasha had brought the two some coffee and tea cookies as they continued to talk.

After talking shop, they started reminiscing about the old days. 

“So do you still make awful puns kitty?” Marinette asked with a smirk that was very much reminiscent of his partner Ladybug. 

“I believe you mean Clawful Bugaboo.” He responded with a Cheshire grin that could be no other then chat noir.

They both laughed. They had both given up their miraculous after everything regarding Hawkmoth and Mayura was settled. Master Fu went to Tibet with Marianne and decided to try and restart the order of the guardians. The old turtle had said that if it doesn’t go well he will be handing the title of guardian to her, which Marinette said she would accept should the circumstance rise.

“How is Fu by the way?” Adrien inquired. “Does he still need favors that only you can do?”

“Oh Kwami no. Please don’t mention that!” Marinette said with her cheeks red from the light teasing.

“Its funny in hindsight. You got that mixed up with your letter. I spent three days in London looking for that.”  Adrien laughed.

“Laugh it up Agreste. I am not the only one who did embarrassing things. May I remind you about Reflekta? I am impressed you could even run in those heels.”

“What can I say, I am a model.” Adrien posed.

“Then there was that time you were scared of anyone driving over 10 miles an hour?” Marinette pointed out.

“And you needed help standing up. That one was not a good day for anyone.” Adrien answered.

“Being a superhero was never easy.” 

“It would have been easier if we knew each other’s identities…” Adrien let slip out.

Marinette looked at Adrien with a stern look.

“You know why we couldn’t do that. Especially after we found out who Hawkmoth was.”

“Geez, sorry I even said anything. It wasn’t anything against you or Fu. It was just a comment.”

Marinette eased herself.

“Sorry about that… the reveal wasn’t exactly as  I thought it would be.” Marinette explained.

“I guess it was too early… or too late.” Adrien answered.

There was a moment of silence where they both looked away, which allowed the designer to notice the hamster tank in the corner.

“You got a hamster?!” Marinette exclaimed with child like glee. She got up and rushed over to the chubby brown rodent.

“Yea, with Kagami out, I needed someone to keep me company.” Adrien answered, thankful for the change in topic.

“Oh man. I am so envious. Luka is allergic to rodents. So getting a hamster has been a no go.” Marinette confessed.

“So Mr.Perfect does have a flaw. I will have to write that down.” Adrien joked.

“What did you name him?”

“Mr. Nibbles”

“Get out of my head. Thats what I would have named him!” Marinette answered as she pet the lovable fur ball. The hamster nuzzled her hand. “Aww, he likes me.”

“Kagami isn’t thrilled about him, but she says as long as I take care of him, she doesn’t mind.” Adrien explained.

“Well if you need anyone to petsit, let me know.” Marinette answered.

“I will be sure to let you know.” Adrien agreed.

Marinette pet the cute creature for another minute before letting him be.

“So I am guessing you are eager to go to Nino’s Bachelor party?” Marinette questioned with a knowing grin, changing the subject.

“I have a case of water bottles when Kim drinks to much.” Adrien assures. “And I assume you are looking forward to Alya’s Bachelorette party?”

“Considering that I planned it.” Marinette answered with a confident smile.

Marinette’s phone began vibrating.

“Oh shoot, Its 8 already? I need to hurry home. I have a video call with Luka in Half an hour.”

Marinette rushes back to her things and packs up.

“Don’t rush too much. I think Luka would prefer his girlfriend late and alive.”

“Thank you Kitty for that lovely reminder.” She smiled with an eyeroll.

“Have a good night Marinette.” Adrien waved.

“You too.” She reciprocated the feeling before the door closed.

Adrien smile faded a bit. He wondered if Kagami would have energy for a phone call. He needed a reminder of how great his life is. How perfect it will be. 

“Well, almost perfect.” He spoke softly.

OOF THE ICE CREAM THEORY

Remember this?

That ice cream from Glaciator that was given to Marinette, and is given to her throughout the show. The one that is completely different from everyone else’s because it only has two scoops while all others on the show have 3. Peach pink like his lips and mint green like his eyes. Okay. We all were like yeah that’s obviously representing Adrien because he has green eyes mkay or even it being Chat Noir at some point in time, because you know. But now we have another love interest that can fit into this! 

Okay, I’ll give you the peach pink lips. But he doesn’t have green eyes! That’s what you’re thinking, right? Then let me draw your attention to… 

Look at those beautiful light green eyes. The eyes that Marinette looked into when he confessed to her for the first time. Out of all the colors his eyes could’ve been, or the blue they could’ve stayed, they happened to make them green. Coincidence? I don’t think so. They don’t even match his outfit.

Friendly reminder that “rock paper scissors” exist in the Avatar universe

It’s made after the avatar cycle

Not which element actually beats each other in reality, cause that would depend on the bender. In the game it’s decided who wins after the order of the avatar cycle.

Water beats earth

Earth beats fire

Fire beats air

Air beats water

Who wins between water and fire? No one, they are opposite elements. They can’t beat each other.

Who wins between air and earth? No one, they are opposite elements. They can’t beat each other.

The hand gestures are either a move in the bending style or a representation of the element itself;

Water - A hand doing waves (suggestion) - no one really knows the hand gesture for water

Earth - Hand is clenched as a rock - as shown by Aang (pictured above) in the episode City of walls and secrets

Fire - Fingers are flames - as shown by Sokka (pictured above) in the episode City of walls and secrets

Air - A hand facing forward - as shown by two Airbender boys in a flashback (pictured above) in the episode The storm

That’s all the information we have about it at the moment.

(Decided to give the updated version it’s own post)

Adrien: I’m completely fine with them together. (Watching Marinette and Luka talk about music)

Luka: Your idea is a Whole Note better then mine.

Marinette: (giggles) That’s a funny pun.

Adrien: That is where I draw the line. (Heads over there)

Do you ever stop in the quiet of the twilight?

Do you ever sit in the dew covered ground?

Do you ever inhale so deep the cold air hurts?

Does nature ever tell you to stop and breathe?

YOU CAN’T SHOW ME THIS AND EXPECT ME TO NOT SHIP IT

Likeee

Ok. So this is just something I noticed in the ep. Earlier, we get this adorable scene where Luka and Marinette just click and seem to get the same idea with no other communication whatsoever. Like, they already know what each other is thinking and they know the other knows too. Initially, I thought was a Ladynoir parallel because they usually do the same thing during their own trysts.

But then, later on in the episode, Chat Noir and Ladybug look like they’re at a total dissonance. Maybe it’s a post-Oblivio effect or Chat’s more dense than usual, but the point is Ladynoir somehow doesn’t have that same level of communication as before. Like Ladybug gives up pretty quickly and just ends up texting him everything…and even then, Chat Noir kinda takes a while to get it, and makes a lot of jokes along the way. (Like why was he so happy about the fact that Ladybug might be her superhero persona permanently? Like, he even joked about it being a good thing? Weird flex, but ok)

Like, no salt…but that’s weird, right? Like why are these two situations being presented to us in the audience, when clearly, in previous episodes Ladynoir have no trouble communicating their plans without words and even get back to that rhythm later on?

Like, is it to show us that, hopefully, maybe, finally, there’ll be some change in the dynamics? Because season 1 Mari would have never been so taken with another dude (e.g. Nino, Nath, Chat Noir), but now Adrien doesn’t even cross her mind. Like, color me impressed, that’s development I didn’t expect. (And I’m kinda hoping it sticks).

Like, these are only my unorganized thoughts, feel free to disagree with me. But did anyone else notice the difference in atmosphere with the Ladynoir confession scenes and the Lukanette confession scenes we’ve had so far?

Anyways, I still ship Love Square but I also ship Lukanette and rn, I think deviance from the love square would be good for them, because Oblivio showed that without all the complicated factors of the love square with idealization and stuff, Adrienette is adorable. Meanwhile, Lukanette is a mutually supportive relationship where Marinette and Luka can both benefit from, and even if it doesn’t work out in the long run, they look like they’d be pretty happy together for the short time they would have.

(P.S. Rose looking confused is a MOOD)

Edit: So, I re-watched the ep, and apparently the whole Chat Noir thing being too nonchalant about Ladybug’s situation was an oversight on my part. Sorry about that. He looks pretty distressed before making a joke about it. Unfortunately Ladybug doesn’t take it too well. But even with that thought, Chat was pretty wholesome this ep so I didn’t mind tbh.

Also, this ep is apparently before Oblivio? Thanks to @karokitten-chan for pointing that out. Now, I’m curious about the in-between episodes but that’s another post.
