I do not, and never will own miraculous ladybug.
I would love more prompts. Please leave prompts in the reviews, or private message me, or even contact me through my blog (aliceoflynn. wordpress. com) Thank you for the prompts. This one came from HAHAhachoo. And I absolutely loved this idea. Where Marinette wears makeup to school, and all the boys act like lovestruck puppies. I hope you all enjoy reading this as much as I enjoyed writing it.
It was the internet's fault. Marinette just wanted Adrien to notice her, so she looked it up online. Going through hundreds of articles of 'how to get a guy to like you' 'how to get your crush to notice you' and 'ways to get a guy to notice you'. Every single one of them had a similar suggestion. Wear makeup. It sounded very simple to Marinette, so she decided to try it. She set her alarm for two hours before she needed to go to school. Her mother let her use some of her makeup, surprised that Marinette wanted to wear makeup, since she had never wanted it before. After watching some online videos, she applied her makeup. Deciding to wear shimmery pink eyeshadow on her lid, with dark brown eyeshadow in the crease. She winged her eyeliner (and because of beginners luck, it turned out amazingly) and applied mascara. Foundation, blush, contour, and highlight. As well as a berry toned lipstick. She took her hair out of her signature pigtails, combing through it so it would fall perfectly down to her shoulders, and even wearing a soft pink cherry blossom themed dress, with her usual grey jacket. When she was done with all of this, she still had thirty minutes before school. She chose to eat a quick breakfast, and get to school early. She got there twenty minutes before school was going to start, surprising everyone who was already there. Although there were not many people there. The only two who happened to be outside the school, where Alix and Kim. Kim making another dare.
"Hey guys," Marinette greeted with a wave. Both Kim and Alix looking over at her. Kim froze for a second when he saw Marinette. He had been her friend for a while, but today, he thought she was especially beautiful. You could almost see the hearts that sprung to his eyes.
"Hey Marinette," Alix said, with a wave back.
"H-Hey M-Marinette," Kim stuttered, so out of character.
"Has anyone else come yet?" Marinette asked, ignoring Kim's odd behaviour.
"Nah, although Max and Ivan should be here any moment." Alix said with a smile. "So, what's with the getup?"
"It's nothing, just felt like dressing differently today…" Marinette was too embarrassed by her reason to actually admit to it. Thankfully, she wasn't asked anymore, since Max arrived. Soon followed by Ivan and Mylene, who were walking hand in hand.
"Hey Max, Ivan, Mylene." Marinette smiled at the and waved. Max's eyes filled with hearts as well, as he noticed the black haired girl.
"Hey Marinette, you are looking especially pretty today." Max said, and Marinette froze in surprise.
"Max, no fair," Kim whined, regretting that he hadn't said it first.
"Thank you Max," Marinette smiled at him. Not yet knowing that the guys were starting to crush on her.
"Y-You are really pretty Marinette," Kim stuttered again.
"Thank you Kim." Marinette smiled at him as well. "We should probably go to class now, right?" Marinette didn't want to be late, she was wanting Adrien to notice her as he entered class.
"Yeah, let's go," Alix said, and everyone followed Marinette. As soon as they got to the classroom, the girls, and Ivan took their regular seats, while Max and Kim were still hanging out around Marinette. They weren't even trying to talk to her, they were just staring, which was starting to freak Marinette out a little. She was really thankful for Alya's appearance.
"Thank goodness you're here, Alya," Marinette mouthed to her best friend.
"What is going on?" Alya asked back, in a whisper. "You look terrific by the way"
"Thank you. But now the guys aren't leaving me alone. They're not even talking, just staring, it's very unsettling."
"I bet." Alya said, thinking of a way to shoo the guys away. Unfortunatly, Nath and Nino arrived, and came up to them, interested in why Kim and Max seemed to be hanging around Marinette. Now, Nathanael still had a crush on Marinette. But Nino didn't… until he saw Marinette with makeup.
"Hey guys," Marinette said, with a smile. Hoping that their showing up would snap the others to their senses. But they only stared at Marinette.
"H-Hey Marinette," Nathanael stuttered, his face as red as his hair. Nino just stood there, goofy smile stuck on his face.
"Marinette, we should play Ultimate Mecha Strike three together, Working with you may improve my skill," Max said, and Marinette nodded, glad he was actually talking, not just staring.
"Of course, I would love to have a worthy opponent." Marinette's smile was a slightly exhausted one. Max seemed to rejoice for a moment, before Kim spoke again.
"Y-You want to race me sometime?" Kim asked, "It would be a good way for us to spend time together."
"Sure thing, Kim."
"How about after school?"
"I'm sorry, but I'm busy after school." Marinette just wanted class to start, she didn't like being the center of attention. And she had no clue why she was it now. She hadn't noticed when Rose, and Juleka entered, but she noticed when Chloe entered. The blond haired girl made a fuss about how everyone was paying attention to Marinette and not her.
"M-Mari….. Can I show you my…. My drawings sometime?" Nathanael asked, his face once again the shade of his hair.
"Of course, I love your drawing, you're really good." Marinette gave Nathanael a big smile, putting her hand on the shy artist's arm. Nino still hadn't said anything.
Adrien was the last class member to enter, and the first thing he noticed, was all of the guys crowded around Marinette. Now, Adrien wasn't usually a jealous guy. There were only two people who could bring out his jealousy, his protective, and possessive cat side. The first, of course, was his Lady. The second one though, was his shy classmate, who sat behind him. He didn't exactly know he was jealous, but he felt something. He had always liked Marinette, in a way. Although any crush he had for her was far overshadowed by his love for His Lady. Or so he thought. But when he saw all the guys crowded around Marinette, all he wanted to do was shout 'MINE' and pull her into his arms. He had to blame Plagg for that, since Plagg is the one who turned him into a cat.
"What's going on?" Adrien asked Alya, repressing his urge to take Marinette and run. But there was an unpleasant growl his his voice, which shocked Alya.
"I think all the guys are in love with Marinette," Alya said, watching for Adrien's reaction. And she wasn't disappointed by the amount of anger she saw in his face. "I don't blame them though, she looks fantastic today." Alya smiled, and winked at Adrien. Adrien was just about to go up to Marinette, when the teacher walked in, and class started.
Class was long, really, really long for Adrien. He kept wanting to look back at his shy classmate, but hadn't been able to yet. He still hadn't actually seen her all day, and he wanted to know what Alya had been talking about. He had been able to communicate with Alya a little, to plan for them all to go to the park for lunch. He wanted to at least see Marinette at some point that day, when she was not surrounded by all the guys. Thankfully, the only people in on their scheme were Alya, Nino, Marinette, and Adrien. That way, none of the other boys would be able to flock around Marinette.
Once the lunch bell rang, the boys were flocked around Marinette again. Marinette threw a panicked look at Alya, pleading for her to step in, and help her. Alya stepped in immediately, taking Marinette's arm, she started dragging her towards the door.
"Sorry boys, but this beauty has to eat as well, see you all after lunch." She pulled Marinette out of the classroom, and they started running for the bakery, so that the boys wouldn't catch up.
"Thanks Alya," Marinette said, when they got to the bakery. Mrs. Cheng already had lunches for them, as well as Adrien, and Nino, thanks to Marinette thinking ahead, and texting her mom to ask her to make up a picnic basket for them. They were to meet the boys at the Park, where they would eat their small picnic.
Adrien and Nino were already waiting for the girls, when they arrived. When Adrien saw Marinette approaching, his eyes filled with hearts as well. All thoughts of his lady disappeared from his mind, and everything was Marinette. He wondered why he hadn't realized how drop dead gorgeous she was before. Yes, he knew she was cute, but he didn't know she could be that gorgeous.
They all sat down to their picnic, and started eating. Adrien now joining Nino in staring at Marinette, and although Marinette didn't mind Adrien's stares that much, they annoyed her. While they were eating, Nathanael passed by, eating his own lunch. And staring at Marinette as much as possible. That's how he ended up tripping, and spilling grape juice over Marinette's jacket.
"I'm sorry Marinette, is there anyway I can make it up to you?" Nathanael apologized all over himself.
"It's alright, Nath," Marinette smiled at him. And Adrien felt a growl form in his throat.
"C-Can I sit with you and finish my lunch?" Nathanael asked, and Marinette was about to agree, when she heard a growl come from Adrien. She froze, and so did Nathanael.
"I'm not sure that would be a good idea Nath," Alya said, shooing him away. Marinette turned, and looked at Adrien in shock. His face turned to one of shock as well, when he realized what he had done. "Oh, M, look at your jacket, it's ruined." Alya said, a new plan hatching, judging on how lovestruck Adrien seemed, which would help her friend out a lot, and bring Marinette and her crush much closer.
"It's alright, I can quickly run home, and throw it in the wash. It'll be as good as new tomorrow." Marinette didn't really care that much.
"But what will you wear until tomorrow. It would be a shame to lose part of your outfit. It was so cute too." Marinette didn't understand what Alya was doing. But Adrien seemed to get the hint.
"Here, Marinette, take my overshirt. You can wear this instead of that jacket." Adrien said, taking off his outer shirt, and handing it to Marinette, who had already taken off the jacket.
"Oh, no, I can't." Marinette started to protest, but Alya was going to make sure her plan would work out.
"But M, all the boys will stop harassing you, if you are wearing The Adrien Agreste's overshirt. They won't get between you too." Adrien grinned stupidly when Alya said that. It sounded good to him. A way to claim that Marinette was his. Although he knew she was not property, and he couldn't really claim her, he wanted to.
"Okay," Marinette said, pulling on the white shirt. It went well with her dress, and when she put it on, she was hit with the scent of Adrien's cologne. She smiled giddily when she smelled that, looking over at Adrien.
"You look beautiful Marinette," Adrien said, wondering why he hadn't noticed how blue her eyes really were, or how cute her button nose was, until that day. His mind went into overdrive, when he decided that instead of longing after his Ladybug, who always seemed to reject him, he would pursue (romantically of course) Marinette instead.
"Thank you," Marinette said, blushing wildly.
They finished their lunch, and returned to school. And sure enough, the boys kept a bit away from her, noticing she was wearing Adrien's overshirt. And although Marinette wanted to curse makeup, for how the boys had crowded around her, she realized that it may have it's perks after all. For if it wasn't for the makeup, she thought, Adrien wouldn't have acted the way he did. If it wasn't for makeup, he would still have been just as oblivious of her. But, in Adrien's defense, it wasn't the makeup that made him notice her. It was the fact that he realized he was jealous when the boys were crowded around her. He finally listened to his heart, when it came to his shy classmate. And even he would sing the blessings of makeup, because he was sure that if the other boys had not have crowded around Marinette, it would have taken much longer for him to finally realize his feelings for the girl.
