Work Text:

"You know boys, they can't take a hint even if it hit them in the face." Alya says, giggling, watching Kim and Max interact with each other. 

"Hey! I can take a hint!" Nino exclaims, slightly offended. 

Marinette snorts, looking at Nino with a raised eyebrow. "The only reason you and Alya got together is because you were locked in a leopard cage and Alya told you how she felt." 

Nino raises a finger to object, but wilts, finding no words to refute her statement. 

Adrien bumps Nino's shoulder with his own. "She's got you there." 

Nino stares at Adrien, betrayal in his eyes as Alya barks out a short laugh. "You are way worse, Sunshine." She says, leaning forward to smirk at him. "You're as dense as a rock." 

Adrien points at her, smug and confident. "Ha! You're wrong! I am far less dense than a rock, since I am made of flesh, and rocks are made of rocks. My density is proven by science!" 

Nino, Alya, and Marinette all stare at him, blank. Slowly, Nino leans over and says "Bro, she's got you there. You are way denser than a rock." 

Adrien jerks back in mock offense, gasping. "How could you? You're my best friend! you're supposed to back me up!" He exclaims, dramatically falling away from Nino. 

Nino raises both his eyebrows, crossing his arms. "Nah bro, you wouldn't think a hint was thrown, even if someone hit you." 

Adrien, laying down on his back on the bench, gasps even louder. Sitting up, he puts a hand on his chest like a fancy person. "I will have you know that I would totally understand if a hint was thrown if someone hit me!" 

Nino, Alya, and Marinette all look at each other, unimpressed and skeptical. Then, one by one, they turn back to Adrien, smiling. 

Nino slugs him on his left arm. Adrien letting out an "Ow! Nino! What the heck?!" Utter betrayal on his face. 

Then Alya leans over and cracks her fist on his right arm. The look of betrayal only deepening. "Alya?! What was that for!" 

Finally, Marinette attacks his left arm again, Adrien's look of betrayal reaching new limits, almost as though his hamster had been kicked while holding it. "Marinette?! We made cookies together!" 

He looks at each one of them, cradling his arms looking like he was the hamster that was kicked. "I thought we were friends." 

Nino groans, Alya slaps a hand to her forehead and Marinette presses a kiss to Adrien's shaking lips. 

"You oblivious idiot," Marinette says. 

Adrien looks at her, the betrayed expression immediately morphing into a lovesick smile. "but I'm your oblivious idiot." 

Marinette smiles and kisses him once more. "Yes, yes you are."
