- Bringing him little snacks and treats constantly, especially on days when she knows he’s going to be busy or particularly active
(I mean she does know his whole schedule like damn gurl show some chill). She always says it’s ‘cus her parents made too much of x by mistake, but in reality the whole D-C clan has unanimously, unspokenly decided that Adrien is Their Child now, and they cook/bake extra stuff specifically to give to him. - Eventually Mari realizes that for all his bravado (as Chat) and the abundance of people who fawn over him (for superficial reasons, as the Over-Achieving Supermodel Son of a Rich Prestigious Designer), Adrien’s pretty fucking starved for approval, so she gets into the habit of praising him a lot. Not in a gushing fakey way, though- She’s just always sure to point out when he’s done something well, and goes out of her way to reaffirm to him, usually with comments that are meant to seem offhanded, that he’s important and appreciated.
- Also, physical affection, 'cus he’s starved for that too. (Apparently he just does a lot of starving. #LetAdrienEat2k16.) Mari isn’t going to be outright clingy, but Adrien’s canonically always been super comfortable with giving casual contact– Putting his arm around Mari’s waist, touching/grabbing/kissing her hand, putting his hands on her shoulders, that sort of thing; It wouldn’t be hard for her to start returning the gestures more often, gradually so as to not draw his attention to it.
- Distracting/cheering him up when he seems sad by coming up with reasons for him to spend time with her and/or their friends. Asking him to help her practice chinese or to go to the park with she and Manon, organizing an easy study session with them, Alya, and Nino, challenging him to a little game of tag over rooftops or a round of video games.
- Enforcing the occasional Fuck-It Day™ 'cus that kid has a lot on his plate and needs to chill once in a while. They could like. Tell Gabriel they’re having a study day at the library or something, and then go to the theater and watch three movies in a row while gorging on candy and popcorn. Hit the mall after for window shopping, try on all the ugliest/most ridiculous clothes they can find. Just silly fun stuff that Adrien’s probably never had the opportunity to do.
- A hat and mitten set that goes well with but doesn’t precisely match that scarf, so she doesn’t give herself away. Gotta make sure ya’ boo stays warm, man.
- She will bake that boy birthday cakes and no one will fucking stop her. Get their whole class to have a little celebration over lunch break the day of, with balloons and snacks and a big hand-made card signed by everyone. She’s happy that her dumb cat was born and he is damn well going to know it.
- Lecturing him to be a little less reckless with himself during fights because oh my god.
