Work Text:
Ladybug and Chat Noir, Felix and Marinette, have been dating for a couple of years. They knew each other with the mask on, and when they finally met with the mask off, they just knew it was the other. They weren't dumb, and they were observant. The only reason why they didn't know each other sooner was because Felix didn't go to her school and spent most of his time on the rich side of Paris. Even if Marinette is over on that side often, they just never bumped into each other before that day.
To anyone else, Felix was a cold individual, who was hard to even close to without him being annoyed. Imagine people's reactions when he saw a girl in pigtails for the first time, and when they went to talk to each other, he smiled, genuinely, and hugged her. So that girl got well known in the rich side of Paris. That right there is what got her to be friends with Chloe. Chloe thought that if she could get Felix to smile, then she must not be that bad.
So while Marinette was in school, she would always trip more and stutter more at Adrien because of how much he looked like her boyfriend. She was still shocked and could barely form words around him. Chloe knew the reason and laughed about her when they were hanging out. Everyone else just thought she had a crush on him. Even if she denied it, they would just say that she was in denial. She tried to tell them everyday that that wasn't the case, but they wouldn't listen, so she just gave up.
Alya, her so called best friend even though she was friends with Chloe longer, who was already her best friend, made her do all those Adrien crazy stunts. She forced Marinette to go be at the park when Adrien was doing a photoshoot there. She would make Marinette do all those stalker plans and then complain when it backfired like she was the one that had to go through it. She was the one that got her his schedule and put it in her room, despite her protests.
Now, Felix heard about these things from his girlfriend. He had at first offered to go and tell her to stop doing that to his girlfriend, but she told him not to. He complied and just was there for her. He didn't want to do things that she didn't want to do. She had enough of that already.
Once when there was an akumatization and they were looking for Adrien and Ladybug took him to safety and Chat Noir fought the akumatized villain alone, Adrien did something that got him punched. Adrien had a crush on Ladybug and was never alone to tell her. So in his mind, every girl that didn't have a boyfriend or that was attracted to boys must have a crush on him, so he went with it. So when they were alone on that rooftop, Adrien went in for a kiss. Ladybug punched him, claiming that she was dating Chat Noir. She had learned that day that Adrien wasn't as nice as a person as she gave him credit for. Felix had to comfort her and stop himself from going to kill his cousin.
Then Lila came. She made up stories against her, since she figured out her lies. She had used Marinette's supposed crush on Adrien to fool them, and surely they were. Marinette didn't even care since she never liked them. They had never listened to her, and Adrien was a jerk.
One day, she had said for a girl in their classroom to go with her since she and this guy named 'Fe' we're going to hang out with them. Chloe then ran up to Marinette and they left the class. The class, for the first time, realized that the bracelets that the two were always wearing were matching. They had finally realized that the two were friends. They never got to know why.
Now, Felix was transferring into her class. He had told her, Chloe, and their last friend in the class, Nathaniel. Nathaniel was on their side, but still wanted to talk to his friends. Marinette understood that and allowed him if he just hung out with her after school. Nathaniel agreed with her on that since it was fair.
The day that Felix was coming, Adrien was warning the class about his cousin.
"Guys, just to warn you, my cousin can be kind of different. He doesn't smile or show emotions. The only ones he shows are angry, annoyed, irritated, bored, and ones like that. No positive ones. So just to be prepared, that what you need to know about him." Adrien said.
The class nodded at that information and thought that Lila could change him since she was the nicest girl on the planet. Chloe and Marinette rolled their eyes at them. They all thought that Lila could do anything. If she had told them that she was God, they would believe her. It was a shame that everyone believed her except the three. Even if it was entertaining to see them fail at their future dream jobs on the long run, it was kind of boring.
Just then class started and Felix came into class. He just screamed rich kid. He had on his vest and tie, with the matching pants? He also had a suitcase with a watch on that just looked like 90% of the class couldn't afford it. Felix just glared at the class with the coldest look that most of them couldn't master in their life time. They know knew what Adrien meant when he said he was different. He certainly was.
The class looked at him then at Adrien. They looked exactly alike, except the clothes and the hair style. If they switched outfits and personalities for the day, the class wouldn't have noticed.
When Felix had to say somethings about himself to the class, what he said wasn't expected.
"I am here to learn, not to socialize. If I do, I will only talk to my girlfriend and her two friends. Anyone else will get ignored because I do not care." Felix said to the class.
Now everyone was confused. Everyone knew who he was because he was rich and all rich people in Paris were well known. But no one knew that he had a girlfriend. So they knew that they had to try and friend his girlfriend so that they could talk to him. Maybe Adrien would help them with it. But one look at Adrien and his confused face told them that he wouldn't be any help.
Adrien was confused. His cousin had a girlfriend? So if he didn't know his girlfriend, that meant that those two weren't friends. That also meant that his cousin didn't want to talk to him. He just had to figure out who his cousin's girlfriend was and friend her so that he could talk to him without him ignoring him.
Felix went to the back of the class where Nathaniel and the outcasts of the class were. They were all watching Felix. Nathaniel took his head out of his sketchbook and looked at Felix. He smiled. "Hey Felix." The class just thought that he was going to get ignored.
"Hello Nathaniel." Felix said, formally.
"It's Nath since we are friends. I'm going to get you to say it." Nathaniel said, shaking his head and turning back to his sketchbook.
The class realized that their friend, Nathaniel, is talking to Felix, who was talking back to him. That meant that he knew who his girlfriend was and he could introduce them. They would be friends.
"Stop acting formal for once. You aren't with businessmen. You are with incompetent high schoolers. It's ridiculous. Utterly ridiculous." Chloe exclaimed.
"Hello to you Chloe." Felix said formally once again, rolling his eyes.
The class knew that Adrien and Chloe knew each other since childhood, so there was a huge possibility that the was talking to her because they knew each other since then. That was probably the only reason he was talking to her.
Felix went to sit down next Marinette. When he sat down and faced her, he pecked her lips. He was aware of what the class was doing to his girlfriend, and wanted to see the chaos that was bound to happen when he did that.
When he pulled back, Marinette's face was flushed. Even after three years of dating, she would still get flushed if he kissed her surprisingly.
Felix looked at the class that was staring at them. He glared them and they turned around.
They realized that Marinette, Lila's 'bully', was dating the Felix Graham de Vanily. Even if they wanted to talk to him, they wouldn't try to be friends with her so suddenly. After all, she bullied their angel, Lila.
Adrien was wondering why his cousin would date a bully. Since Ladybug never spent her time on exposing Lila, he never knew that she was lying. He couldn't talk to Marinette. He was afraid that she would do something to him, like she did with Lila.
After all that drama, lunch came. The four friends went to sit at their table at lunch. The class was surprised that Nathaniel didn't sit with them that day.
They went up to him and went to ask him why he wasn't sitting with them.
"Simple. I'm sitting with my other friends today." Nathaniel said confidently.
"You're friends with her." Venom on the last word, said by Alya. "You should sit with us. Lila would be sad that you aren't there."
"Fine, I'll sit with you." They seemed satisfied with that answer. "If you do something for me first." They agreed with that, seeing as he couldn't ask for much. "Everyone watch Lila, while Alya, you look up the name Lila Rossi. If you see anything other than you're blog about her, then I'll sit with her as long as you like."
Alya rolled her eyes at what he said, but did it anyways. Everyone else kept an eye on Lila. The only reason for that was so that she wouldn't get away.
Alya was getting paler and paler with each search she search she had taken. Nino had taken a look at his girlfriend saw that she was getting pale. He decided to look at her phone and saw what she had seen. He started to feel bad. He got his friends attention and they all stared at the phone. They couldn't believe it. They made claims that someone who did everything for them and nothing for herself, bullied a new student. They were angry of course. They started yelling at Lila.
Marinette, watching the whole thing with a smile on her face. She leaned back into Felix's embrace.
"How do you feel, my queen." Felix asked into her ear.
"I feel like I'm on top of the world." Marinette said, happily. She had a good lunch watching Lila's lies topple over.
