Adrien + Nino, "Board Game Night"
The response for this prompt comes to us from @deinde-prandium!

Okay I see this one as like a Nino POV comedy of errors wherein Nino has been attempting to plan the ultimate bros night (think Party Crasher, but on a significantly smaller scale because it’s literally just him and Adrien, but we won’t give Nino too much grief about the semantics). He feels the need to call it “Board Game Night” rather than Game Night because he’s trying to expand his best bro’s horizons beyond Ultimate Mecha Strike V (also because he’s the one hosting, and Chris is less likely to bother them if they let him use the TV).
The only problem is that every time they make plans to hang out for a game night, there’s some kind of freak interruption that results in Adrien backing out or leaving partway through…cue some Detective Nino work, and he (not surprisingly) comes to some insane conclusion about Adrien (the details of which I’ll work out later if I ever come back to this, but imagine something really off the wall, like he’s having an affair with Ladybug or something).
Anyway, he eventually confronts Adrien about it, and ultimately Adrien comes clean and reveals that he is Chat Noir. And Nino is incredibly shocked by this, but is also touched by the very palpable relief he can see on Adrien’s face in light of this confession. Accordingly, he responds the only way he knows how:
“Dude.”
“Yeah.”
[silence]
“So, uh…you wanna play some Sushi Go?”
The smile on Adrien’s face is like, the best thing ever.
“Yeah. Let’s play.”
