A/N: I am Miraculous trash. Believe it.


prologue

"Marinette, don't ignore me~"

"Adrien, stop."

"Noo~" The blonde-haired boy attempted vainly to reach out towards her. "I just realized something-!"

Marinette sighed, turning from her designs to face him. "What is it, kitty?"

The blonde pouted. "I just realized that no one in our class is together!"

"How did you even think of this?"

"Well, you know how Ms. Bustier recently got a new baby niece? So I was thinking about what the second generation children would look like. Then I wondered, why can't I picture it? After that, I realized that the reason I couldn't think of anything was because I didn't have any real-life couples to work with, which made me realize that no one is together. Mariiiii! I mean, it's like one of my favorite anime shows. Have you ever heard of-"

Marinette facepalmed. "Adrien, why is that important? And why the heck are you talking about anime, you crazy otaku?"

"It just is, okay!"

Mari groaned. "Adrien, how many shippy filler episodes of Naruto did you watch last night?" You freaky fanboy...

Adrien grinned. "Aw, come on, Mari, I am not that much of an otaku! Plus, we all know you've been vouching for Alya and Nino to finally start dating. And I only watched five, thank you very much."

Marinette's lips quirked upwards before she could stop herself. "N-no!"

Adrien laughed. "Ha! Gotcha!" She pouted. "Grr…"

He turned serious again. "But in all seriousness, don't you find it strange that no one in our class has gotten together yet? I mean, it's a completely even class, everyone should be evenly matched. Look at Nino and Alya, they're clearly smitten with each other. Plus, Ivan and Mylene totally like each other. Even freakin' Alix and Kim are crushing on each other! Ugh, the romantic tension at school is driving me INSANE!" To further illustrate his point, Adrien staggered around the room before dropping dramatically on Marinette's bed.

Marinette laughed. "Ah, I guess you're right. The atmosphere at school is a bit suffocating."

Adrien spread his arms wide. "Right? We gotta get them all together! You and me," he continued, stars in his eyes. "We'd be the perfect team! You with your super-luck and amazing organization-" "Adrien, it's not super luck, what kind of term is-" "and me with my amazing matchmaking skills!"

"You do not have amazing matchmaking skills." Marinette deadpanned.

"Oh yes I do!" Adrien gestured to their two cats frolicking on the other side of the room. "See, I got Tikki and Plagg together!"

As if on cue, the two cats pawed over, each landing in their respective owner's lap. Marinette laughed as Tikki, a red tortoiseshell kit, snuggled against her sweater. She turned back to Adrien, who was busy with Plagg. "That's a lie and you know it. You know they were already together even before we found them. Besides, what if we don't succeed? It'd be even more awkward afterwards."

Adrien's very mature response was to stick out his tongue and pout. "Fine. Forget I said anything."

He looked so forlorn that Marinette finally caved. "Fine, fine. We can do the matchmaking thing. Just stop looking at me like that, okay?"

Adrien immediately jumped up, suddenly full of energy. "We can? Aww, thanks Mari!" He bounded over to the girl and hugged her tightly. "This is gonna be the best! Monday is gonna be so amazing!"

"Well, that's the first time I've ever seen anyone excited for a Monday," Marinette said, trying to ignore the warmth blossoming on her cheeks.

Adrien leaned back. "I've got the perfect idea for a chart already!"

A piece of chart paper immediately appeared out of thin air. "Alright, let's see…"

(Meanwhile, Marinette was confused as to how and why Adrien had chart paper seemingly hidden in his pocket.)

Within a few minutes, a full-fledged chart of all the students in the class was imprinted on the paper. Arrows streaked through, showing who was paired with who. "We'd better give them code names so that we can be inconspicuous."

Marinette brightened. "Oh, like Alya can be something like Lady Wifi, and Nino can be the Bubbler! You know, 'cause he likes bubbles so much-Adrien?"

"SHIP NAMES!" Adrien yelled loudly. Marinette stared at him, partially in amusement and partially in confusion. "ALYA AND NINO CAN BE DJWIFI!"

At that, Marinette stared at him in confusion. "But isn't he called the Bubbler?"

Adrien frowned. "Yeah, but...Calling Nino DJ would be a bit too obvious. But let's face it. WifiBubble? So not catchy."

"And I'm betting you know that, Mr. I-Am-Addicted-To-Anime."

Adrien childishly pouted. "Meanie…"

"Am I right, or am I right?"

"Fine, I'm addicted to anime. Happy?"

Marinette's grin lit up her face, causing Adrien's heart to skip a beat. "Happy."

Another idea flashed in his mind. "Hey, we should have code names too! Like secret agents! Secret love agents!"

"I call Ladybug!" Marinette blurted before Adrien could even blink. Adrien laughed. "Then I'll be...Chat Noir!" Adrien said, coming to the idea upon seeing his black cat. "It's an honor to work with you, m'lady."

Marinette nearly blushed before catching the pun. She wrinkled her nose at him. "That was a terrible pun, kitty."

Adrien gasped. "See! My name is…" Marinette glared at him. "Don't. You. Dare." "...purr-fect." Marinette let out a loud groan. "Ugh…"

A thought nagged at her in the back of her head. Who are you and I paired with, chaton?


A/N: I'm actually genuinely excited to do this, lolol

HI! I'M BACK! AFTER A YEAR OF DISAPPEARING OFF THE FACE OF THE EARTH!

Yeah, yeah, I have no excuse, blah blah blah. Whatever. I'm here now, making stories, and that's what matters...right?

I've missed FanFiction very much. So I'm back.

((Also I have this really bad habit of starting stories and then never finishing them. Young children, that is called procrastination.))

Welp, hope you like!

Yours in demigodishness,
