WHY CAN’T I MARRY THEM VS. WHY CAN’T THEY MARRY EACHOTHER

“Please don’t do this.” 

Marinette’s boyfriend and girlfriend both looked over their shoulders at her, gleeful grins at direct odds with the black-and-red domino masks on their faces.

“Don’t,” she repeated with a groan, burying her face in her hands.

How had she come into possession of such embarrassing significant others, she wondered hopelessly as Adrien and Alya went on preparing for ‘Ladycon,’ whatever that was.

“One day,” said Adrien in his utterly ridiculous Ladybug cosplay, “one day we’ll make you see the light.”

“Ladybug is love,” Alya intoned from beside the other half-packed bag, “and Ladybug is life. Stop denying the truth, girl!”

“You two deserve each other,” was Marinette’s opinion of the matter, spoken through the tangle of her fingers.

Wandering over, Alya kissed one side of her face, and Adrien the other.

“No worries, babe,” was Alya’s. “We love you more, forever and always.”

Adrien nodded firmly in agreement.

It would have been entirely more heartwarming if Marinette hadn’t known full well that they were planning to use this opportunity to get her into a bed and a Ladybug cosplay of her own — preferably at the same time.

a weakness

okay the part of my brain that’s in charge of prose is dead but i have this super cute adrialya idea, hear me out:

adrien and alya go to a different school than mari and nino, and while mari still has tikki, fu couldn’t find a suitable holder for the ring, because, you know, adrien was somewhere else entirely

so now adrien and alya are the founders of the ladybug fanclub of their school, which starts out as a ‘oh my god are those two nerds talking about ladybug again’ kinda thing and ends up gaining a fair amount of members and traction as ladybug’s popularity skyrockets

they start out fast friends, both loving superheroes as they do, and when they catch wind that there’s an actual real live superheroine in their city, they just about lose their minds together

alya founds the ladyblog, and adrien helps etcetcetc

just imagine the two of them bent over maps, whispering excitedly to each other about ladybug this and akuma that, recording it all with intense dedication

they become inseparable very very quickly

even after the club has five members, ten members, twenty members and more, the core of alyaandadrien remain intact, always at the center of the latest attack and getting the hottest scoop

they give ladybug a lot of premature grey hair, but they’re just so enthusiastic she doesn’t have the heart to rip into them

much

okay so they’re both pains in her ass but they’re cute pains in her ass and she’s actually rather fond of them both, despite the ever-present hero worship, so she’ll give them interviews and wink for their cameras and keep them from becoming akuma chum

obviously, their crushes deepen near-unbearably

but even with their mutual feelings for ladybug, they still manage to notice little things about one another —

alya bites her lip when she concentrates, and adrien has to look away and pretend he doesn’t blush; adrien falls asleep on alya’s bed after a particularly long akuma chase, and alya has to talk herself out of kissing him while he’s so defenseless

alya has crushed on him from the start (he’s cute and dorky and funny and they get along really well, what was she expecting really), but friendship was more important to her than getting a date at 15

adrien was pretty sure the reason his heart raced around alya was hormones (she’s really hot, okay — and tactile and charismatic and engaging and), and so never acted on them, because the internet tells him that that is a Bad Thing that will make him an asshole if he does

he really just wants alya to be happy, tbh

alya wants to kiss her dork sidekick but is afraid that she’ll ruin their friendship if she does

they both have plans to seduce ladybug

they may or may not talk to each other about their plans to seduce ladybug

they may or may not have joking plans about seducing ladybug together

(listen i didn’t actually get very far in this idea but maybe once during a late night going over their data, alya gathers her courage and asks if she can kiss him

and maybe adrien says yes

and maybe makeouts become a feature of their ladybug-tracking adventures)

also: the ring and the fox necklace are definitely things that get involved at some point
