Felix is literally the person who has too much coffee and is like "I got into a knife fight with God" and Bridgette then has to take the coffee away from him
my laptop froze and crashed before i’d saved so this horrible phone camera quality is all i could salvage, and then tumblr decided it just wasn’t going to process That Particular File, so basically i’m making the same face as felix right now
just take it out of his hands, bri
"You look really tired." Marinino/Ninette? Please and thank you
YAY!!!!! I love Ninette! This ship doesn’t get nearly enough love, either as friends or romantic
Marinette slumped down on the bench in the school courtyard and finally let her smile drop.
“Five minutes,” she said to herself, “Five minutes and then you can make it the two blocks to your house.” Hopefully the bakery would be busy enough that she wouldn’t have to put on a show for her parents. Maybe if she was lucky she could grab a quick nap before popping a handful of caffeine pills.
7 akumas in six days.
It was too much. She was exhausted, stressed, and she didn’t even want to think about what sort of note was bound to get sent home to her parents before the end of the week. It would be miracle if she wasn’t grounded for the rest of eternity. She was pretty sure she had overhead them talking about the possibility of her being on drugs.
She pressed her hands to her temples and tried to will herself not to cry. Maybe if would be better to just sneak back to the classroom and nap there. True she wouldn’t have any lunch but she could manage without for a day.
“Hey,” a soft voice said beside her. She looked up to see Nino hesitantly sitting down next to her.
“Hey,” she said back trying to throw a hastily manufactured smile on her face, “what’s up Nino?”
“You look really tired,” he said without any preamble.
Marinette let her smile drop. “I just haven’t been sleeping well,” she said scuffing the ground with her toe.
“Yeah,” Nino said lightly, pulling off his hat and toying absently with the brim, “I can see that.”
Marinette let out a relieved breath at his lack of probing. Alya would have started grilling her for answers for such a shallow fib.
“Well that Lit project has been pretty stressful,” Nino said.
“Yeah.”
“Not to mention the whole saving the city from emotionally distraught possessed monsters. I would imagine that would cut into one’s regularly scheduled naptime.”
Marinette jumped, “How did you- I mean! What? What are you talking about?”
Nino gave her a bemused smile. “Wanna try that again, you were almost convincing.”
“When did you figure it out?” she asked, too tired to try and hide it anymore. To tell the truth it was a relief to have someone else know her secret.
“About a month ago,” he said with a shrug. “I figured it was best to just keep it a secret, but with everything happening lately I thought you might need a friend.”
She gave him a grateful smile. “I would be lying if I said I wasn’t glad you figured it out, but you know you could be in real danger.”
“Eh, danger is my middle name,” he joked fixing his hat onto Marinette’s head. “Besides I’ve already been akumatized so I doubt Mr. Butterfly is going to be bothering with me anytime soon.”
“At least not until Adrien’s next birthday,” Marinette teased.
“Nah, it’s all good man,” Nino said grinning, “besides me and G-man are tight now don’t you know.”
“G-man? Please tell me you actually called him that to his face.”
“Are you kidding I’m not suicidal. But seriously I think we’ve established a real rapport. The last time I went to see Adrien he said- and I quote- Oh, you’re here as well.”
Marinette laughed. “Wow, you’re right. Clearly you’re best friends now.”
Nino stood up and held out his hand. “Come on, lets get you home and in bed. I am really good at convincing other people’s parents that they are sick.”
“Really?”
“Why do you think Adrien’s not here today? Poor dudes almost as wiped as you. Stupid photoshoots.”
Marinette stood shakily to her feet, but before she could start walking Nino came over and scooped her onto his back in a piggyback carry.
“Come on Maribug, let’s take you home.”
Marinette closed her eyes and nodded, relaxing against his back with a smile.
I drew out Cat Noir!Nino because I’m in love with the idea. He’s not evil, no worries, but rather this is a particularly dire fight. Do or die is the surest way to feel alive.
If you are taking more requests for the fic prompts, how about brotherly kim/marinette interactions? If you are ok with that, of course
Going back and clearing out my prompt list in my inbox! I am trying to get everything caught up that I need to!
Marinette slumped down on the bench and watched miserably as Nino and Adrien walked off for lunch.
Another day, another failed attempt.
She sighed as she felt someone sit down beside her.
“I know Alya, I need to just ask him already, I just can’t.” She moaned, burying her face in her hands. “It’s not fair, you never had any problems talking to Nino and you guys are now like, the cutest couple ever.”
“It’s true,” a much deeper voice replied, “Nino and I did have a special bond of awesomeness, sadly ours is a forbidden love cause Alya’s scary as hell.”
Marinette started, spinning around to see Kim grinning at her from his spot on the bench.
“God, Kim you scared me!”
“Don’t tell me you’ve forgotten me? First Alya steals Nino’s love away from me, and now she’s got it so my oldest friend doesn’t even remember me! Clearly those early years in the park meant nothing to you people.”
“What do you want Kim?” Marinette asked, although she found herself smiling at her friends antics.
“Who said I wanted anything, can’t I just say hi to you? Or do you only talk to Alya now?”
“Kim…” she laughed.
“Do I need to challenge her to a duel? Hey Alya- release Marinette back into the world!” He hopped to his feet and began mock fencing with an invisible Alya. “I’ll get Adrien to be my second, that way you have to cheer for me,” he added shooting Marinette a wink.
Marinette blushed and looked away, her happy mood dampened as she thought again of her recent failure.
“So you are really bummed about Golden Boy, aren’t you?” Kim said, sitting back down and slinging an arm around Marinette’s shoulder.
Marinette sighed again. “I know that I should just ask him out already, it’s just… I get so tired of always making a fool of myself. Is it so wrong of me that I don’t want to screw this up?”
Kim was quiet for a moment, looking her over with a thoughtful expression.
“I think you need to stretch,” he said at last.
“What?”
“When you go to do a marathon, you can’t just start running at full speed or you’ll hurt yourself. You need to stretch first. Make sure your muscles are warmed up. Get yourself psyched up.”
Marinette gave him a skeptical look.
“The way I see it- for you asking out Adrien is like running a 5k. You really want to do it, and it feels really great if you win, but it’s actually pretty intense. You need to stretch out first. Get warmed up before all the pressure starts.”
“And what if I don’t… I donnow… know any stretches?” Marinette asked warily.
“Sure you do. You start with the basics. Say ‘Hi’ in the morning. Maybe try a compliment. Don’t go into the conversation with the end game of asking him out. Just start with a simple goal.”
“That makes sense,” Marinette nodded.
“How about this- I challenge you, before the end of the day to tell Adrien congrats on winning the basketball game last night.”
“He won?”
“Well the team won, which you would know if you ever came to a game,” he glared at her teasingly, “but he did pretty awesome for such a skinny guy. Crazy reflexes.”
“Ok, I think I can do that.”
“It’s a challenge, so if you lose you have to bring me a cake that says “Kim is the Best, and Chloe should be honored that someone that cool think’s she’s hot.”
“OK first off that is a lot to pipe on a cake, and second off, Chloe would kill me.”
“What’s the fun in a challenge if there aren’t stakes,” he said with a smile.
“Fine, but if I win you have to serenade Nino in front of the whole class,” Marinette smirked.
“Deal.” They shook hands. “Look,” Kim said kindly, “Alya’s great and all, but she is new. Before this year you used to let people push you around a lot. And while it’s great to see you standing up for yourself and whatnot, you don’t have to do everything at once, you know?”
“Thanks Kim,” Marinette said, leaning in and giving him a hug before getting to her feet and gathering up her bags. “We should probably both get home for lunch. Say hi to your mom for me?”
“Sure,” Kim grinned. “You know you should stop by practice one of these days. We do scrimmages every Wednesday.”
“I’ll think about it.” Marinette waved over her shoulder.
“You know sometimes Adrien takes his shirt off,” he called after her, and laughed as his friend slipped and tumbled to the ground with a high pitched squeal.
This was really fun to write thanks for the awesome prompt! (I also got to sneak in so many little things. The challenge is to see if you can see where this falls in the show timeline!)
