#bananadrien

W O K E:

Where following a conversation with his teachers - and later his father - about their refusal to do anything about Lila’s harrassment of him. Cue parallel between Zombizou where he’s given a letcure on setting an example for others...

His dad probably thinks he can use this as a way of akumatizing Adrien, but Adrien just makes a Tweet/Post like “Whelp no one’s helping me stop being sexually harrassed so it’s time to put on a banana costume and become a meme I guess.”

He comes into school wearing the banana costume, and Chloé takes it upon herself to live Tweet/Post the fallout. Picking a day where Lila’s mother was supposed to be in a meeting with the Mayor of Paris.

It’s working because Lila isn’t going anywhere near him, and word gets out to both his father and Lila’s mother who show up at about the same time. It probably says a lot about both their parents that they care more about how this will affect them rather then actually caring for Adrien’s predicament.

Gabriel is mostly just trying to get Adrien to change, but Adrien’s not budging: “Company advertisements have been handed out by people in costumes just like this for a while now father, this is on brand.”

While Lila’s mother says some things that make it pretty clear she thought the school had been closed all these months because of the akuma. “Who told you the school was closed” asked a teacher who is somewhat competent. “Lila said her boyfriend Adrien said—”

“I’m Adrien” said the banana. “Though I’m not dating your daughter, I’m actually dressed like this to stop her from trying to climb me during class - I’ve been thinking of filing a sexual harassment case, since the school was refusing to do anything...” there’s a pause so things could sink in. “Or a restraining order. I’d like to not have anything to do with Lila actually.”

“There were easier ways of bringing up these issues, then making them public.” said Lila’s mother probably.

“Ah yes, because the actions I’d already taken worked so well. Marinette noticed and got bullied for trying to help because everyone else here was ‘just trying to help Lila’” By this point a lot of the class probably feel like bad friends, because the novelty of the costume would’ve worn off around the time Lila’s mother mentioned her daughter said the heroes of Paris were so bad at their jobs there were akumas everywhere.

“Would you like to move to sit next to Marinette Adrien?”

He and Marinette respond at the same time with: A - “it’s a start” and M - “not dressed like that he’s not.”

There’s a pause and there were a couple of snickers. When Adrien agrees to change, Gabriel looks like he’s about to promise Marinette his first born child.

When Adrien leaves to change there’s a few minutes where Mlle. Bustier asks if any of the other classmates would be able to take over Lila’s catch up tutoring and no. one. says. anything. Which is immediately brushed to the side as Sabrina (who’s been following the Twitter feed for related comments to Chloé’s live Tweet/Posting) excitedly mentions how Chat Noir is commenting - asking for the banana costume.

LB: Why?

CN: You commissioned our problem children’s Everyday Ladybug for an ‘if I get caught without my miraculous costume’

CN: Maybe I want my own costume from her Chat Noir.

Mari: @_ladyblogofficial See Alya, I told you LadyNoir wasn’t canon.

CN: Meow-ch, Princess, that hurt.

LB: So you plan to fight akuma in a banana costume.

CN: Just call me Bananoir

No one really notices when Adrien returns because they’re too invested in a) LB and CN calling them ‘their problem children’ b) Chat Noir calling Marinette ‘Princess’ and c) Chat Noir apparently ships Adrienette.

Nothing gets done for the rest of the morning between apologies and Mlle. Bustier having to go with Lila, Lila’s mother, and Gabriel to the Principal’s office to talk about today - with Gabriel having to play the role of ‘good dad’ he can’t cause an akuma from this.

Marinette: Not only is Chat Noir a furry, but also a fruity!

EDIT:

NOW A GIF!

okay but like imagine someone in the class decides to throw a halloween party and marinette is like “oh boy a chance to dress up and also look really cute to get adrien’s attention!!” and decides to wear her cute sexy biker outfit. and adrien, being the silly boy he is, decides to wear the fucking banana costume cause he thinks it’s cool and also the boy is a living meme

Think about it: Adrien, Chat Noir, Aspik, Chat Blanc, Banana Noir, Nightmare Adrien, Mr. Bug, & Snek Noir. That’s a lot of Ships.

this post by @buggachat helped too. trying another way of writing hope it's okay??

Adrien was asleep. He could be dreaming of sweeping Ladybug off her feet, or imagining her mask falling to reveal a very familiar just-a-friend with pigtails. Or both, who knows? Point was, he was sleeping, the world around him a distant thing.

Plagg, on the other hand, or... paw? Anyway, he was sleeping while holding a very valuable treasure, that being the delicacy that we all know as camembert. Oh stinky, gooey goodness, why bother with life when you have the king of cheese. The best gift in life. Our dear cat mini-god-of-destruction was about to end his dream monologue when he heard soft shuffling, opening his eyes to see green. More precisely, a turtle. Who was currently pulling off the ring on his chosen's finger.

"Huh?"

"I'm sorry."

Oh. He realised what was happening. He was going to start waking Adrien up to stop his fellow kwami from taking him away.

"Ahhhhhh-"

And then he disappeared into the ring. He could have let me finish that last camembert first, geez, being his last thought.

The turtle dude- I mean, Wayzz guiltily floated away with the ring of the black cat, dropping a slip of paper as per his master's instructions.

---

Adrien awoke to the feeling of paper landing on his nose. It smells like some sort of tea, he mused, as he cleared his mind of dreams to focus on the words written on it.

"Adrien, you're a most incredible Chat Noir, but I cannot let you and Ladybug risk your lives to fix the mistake that I made. I hope you can forgive me. Be happy and forget all about me. Signed, Fu."

The letter dissolved in green sparkles before he could fully process the words, but when he finally did comprehend it, his eyes widened to the size of wheels of camembert.

"Plagg? Oh, sweet camembert, Plagg!"

He checked his finger, and it was ringless. He looked under his pillow, his bed, the floor, nothing. Only evidence left was a wedge of stinky cheese on his other pillow. Adrien really hoped this was a dream.

He was not given time to panic though, as his phone soon chimed in that familiar, dreadful tune. Akuma alert. Superhero instincts kicked in and drove him to his closet, looking for the perfect disguise. Dream or not he had to save his city!

"Hmm... Trench coat with fedora? Nope. Motorcycle helmet from that one movie rendezvous with Marinette plus something else? Nah. Oh! Of course! The banana suit! This is the perfect occasion to try it out."

And off he went. He wouldn't be able to climb out the window with the get up so he went through the front door. Who cares about those video cameras? Paris was at stake! Finding a scooter was also a priority now. He shot out of the mansion gates and well, you know the rest of the story.

Nathalie checked the video feed from the living room cameras the next morning, almost spitting out her coffee at her discovery.

"Sir? You... might want to see this."

"What is it, Nathalie? I'm still watching the news on the returned temple."

She simply shoved the tablet into her boss's line of sight, having no idea how to explain the situation.

"Is that Chat Noir running through my living room? Am I hallucinating?"

"I believe so sir, and you're not hallucinating. It does match the videos of Chat Noir running around in the streets on the Ladyblog. The one that Chat Noir himself said he was proud of in his latest interview."

"How DARE he run through my house with that monstrosity of an outfit! I will not stand!"
