Chapter Text
“Hey Babe?” Nino asked Alya as they walked home from school.
“Yeah?”
“You think Mari’s cute right?”
“Duh.”
“Like you can appreciate that she is an objectively attractive person who happens to also be your best friend.”
“Uh huh.”
“And you can see where the attraction would be in being involved with her without actually needing to pursue anything further because you’re best friends.”
“Are you worried that I am going to leave you for Marinette?”
“No! I am just saying that you can be in a perfectly platonic relationship and still have a deep appreciation for her as an attractive and desirable potential life mate.”
“Yes.”
“And that doesn’t make you gay.”
“No.”
“Great.”
“Because I’m Bi.”
“… shit.”
“Is this about your crush on Adrien?”
“What? No! Who said anything about that! I never said… did he say something? Because I haven’t said… I mean, what crush on Adrien.”
“God damn it honey you couldn’t have held out for two more weeks? Now I owe Mari dinner AND movie tickets.”
“You two were betting on me developing feelings for my best bro behind my back?”
“What do you mean developing, you and Adrien have been low key dating since November, we were betting on how long it would take you to notice.”
“What are you even talking about?”
“Honey, you pack him lunches.”
“That’s because Nathalie has him on this disgusting all natural diet plan! Of course I have to make sure he’s fed!”
“And what about the fact that you text him first thing every morning?”
“I text you too! You love my morning wake up texts! It’s not my fault that neither of you can be bothered to go to sleep at decent hours like normal people and someone has take care of you bo- oh my God I’m dating Adrien.”
