make the biggest scene

Summary:

Luka and Marinette are a distraction, but also more than just that.

Notes:

I'm a big fan of AUs with modern royalty.

Make sure you have work skins turned on for this! The texting sections are difficult to read if they're turned off. I've seen an author get alt text into them, but I'm not quite there.

If you've read "no phone, no pics, no posting us", this is based off of the original prompt I based that universe on. Totally not confusing.

The premise is just "they're all celebrities, but Adrien is the Prince since the GDVs are from London".

Content warning: The story begins with Julerose being outed against their will.

BREAKING NEWS: Lesbian Love Affair?!

Juleka Couffaine, Jagged Stone’s daughter and bassist of Kitty Section, was recently photographed kissing the lead singer of Kitty Section, Rose Lavillant. Neither have been reached for comment. The picture is attached below, so viewers can see if it’s legitimate or not.

[IMAGE DESC: Blurry picture of Rose and Juleka, in stage outfits with the masks off, kissing each other. Rose is facing away from the camera, and most of Juleka’s face is hidden as Rose kisses her.]

Lavillant is openly bisexual, having come out alongside guitarist Luka Couffaine two years ago during an impromptu acoustic performance at a Pride celebration. 

The real question with the two now is just how long has this relationship been going on before its recent discovery? We’ll continue to update as we receive more information.


are juleka + rose ok?
they’re fine. keeping them both away from socmed
yeah i thought so :( people suck
tabloids r even worse D:
what if we diverted attn?
what do you mean
i mean. U tolerate me well enough right?
where is this going marinette
what if we eloped?
…
come on, im the french president’s daughter. And ur the guitarist in the no 1 metal band. Wed make quite the splash if we eloped, bigger than juleka and rose’s relationship
how are u so smart
I mean that’s one of the worst plans I’ve ever heard
but it’s still brilliant
all the best plans r like that. so what do you say?
sure. what’s the worst that could happen?


 

BREAKING NEWS: Wedding Bells Ringing?

It seems both Couffaine siblings have found love recently — the news just broke that Luka Couffaine eloped with the daughter of France’s President, Marinette Dupain-Cheng. Dupain-Cheng and Luka have reportedly had a close friendship since they were teenagers, with Dupain-Cheng helping to design Kitty Section’s first costumes for their debut in XY’s music video contest.

Couffaine and Dupain-Cheng have been sighted a few times together over the years, but have always denied any reports of the two being romantically involved. However, Couffaine and Dupain-Cheng were spotted exiting Paris’s town hall together, holding hands. If one zooms in, one could spot the rings on the opposite hands — the ones not being held, that is.

[IMAGE DESC: Luka and Marinette walking on a sidewalk just outside of Paris’s town hall. The two are holding hands and walking together. On Marinette’s right hand and Luka’s left hand, matching rings can be spotted.]

As I said earlier in this piece, the two have denied romantic involvement in the past. Is this merely a publicity stunt, or have they truly fallen in love?

Neither could be reached for comments at this time.


it looks like the plan was a success!
indeed
what’s the next step
guess its just to. keep going like this?? my parents are kinda mad about the stunt tho so im gonna have 2 tell them
go for it, I don’t want to get you in trouble
so what happens if one of us actually wants to get into a relationship
well were not legit in a relationship
so anything goes imo.
cool bc there was this guy I’ve been texting and I don’t want to screw it up
👀 why have you not told me about this???
he’s more famous than either of us, been trying to keep it on the dl
u think u have a shot?
I gotta tell him about us either way, I don’t want to keep it a secret from him
idc, tell him!
omg marinette you aren’t going to believe this
[screenshot description: a series of texts between Luka and someone whose contact has been cropped out. The other person texts “thank you for trusting me with this!! I promise I won’t tell anyone about what’s really going on”. Luka has replied “ofc, I trust you”. The person texts back a heart emoticon.]
who tf is that??? u have been holding out on me smh
you wouldn’t believe me even if I told you
try me
the uk prince
which one??? don’t tell me its felix i would never forgive you
it’s not, thankfully for our marriage :P
you would NOT you know how much I like Adrien…
unfortunately I am not immune to Adrien
oh my god you actually typed capital letters
I’m SERIOUS Luka do you have a crush on the same guy as me
you knew this was an option I’m bisexual
so am I! but basic respect for bro code is a thing
it’s not like it matters we both know he has a girlfriend
ur right :/
admittedly. i would totally shoot my shot with ms. tsurugi if the opportunity came up
so unfair that two hot people would date each other
just the life of bisexuals, nerfed by our lack of immunity to pretty people


We should meet up sometime! Marinette and I are friends, and you and I are friends, and I want Kagami to be friends with you two too
And since you two got fake married this can be like a double date! But it’s not really a double date, just friends meeting up
I get the gist
I’ll ask Marinette if she’s interested
I look forward to seeing you there!
haha that is if my bodyguard approves :(( idk if they will
And I know you and Marinette are only a short tube ride away but still…the journey makes it difficult
we can make it work
even if Marinette and I are the ones heading to meet you
we can travel too :P
I know, but I feel bad if I make you
I feel bad that my position is responsible for inconveniencing you and everyone else I’d like to hang out with :( sometimes I wish I weren’t a prince
I’m glad Felix is inheriting the throne before me, at least
I mean, I think my thoughts on monarchies as a system of government are pretty clear
but you’re a good person, and bureaucracy inconveniences everyone
>.< (imagine this is a blushy emoticon lol)
emojis exist and you can use them
You use just as many emoticons as I do!
…point taken
I’ll text you with more details if they approve!


NEWS: Prince of UK and President’s Daughter Spotted on Double Date

…yes, we know! They’re not dating each other — though certainly not for a lack of shippers ;). Ever since Prince Adrien started dating Kagami Tsurugi, heiress to her mother’s technology empire, fans have been mourning the now impossibility of #Adrinette. However, with the news of Marinette Dupain-Cheng’s marriage to Luka Couffaine, the #Lukanette shippers have been thriving — and really, I can’t blame them.

Recently, the four of them all went out together to a restaurant. While they were only spotted outside the establishment, it can be assumed that the two couples were on a double date — how sweet!

Adrien and Marinette have been close friends since Marinette’s mother was elected president of France. It’s only natural that now the two are both openly in romantic relationships they would go on double dates like this. 


so. idk what you want to do about the adrien thing but like
idk why im texting you this now of all times
okay deep breaths marinette you can do this
if adrien and kagami ever break up would you mind being metamours
like…we both date him
yeah exactly
I mean it isn’t the worst idea ever
no worse than the fake marriage
cool cool cool
was that it
yeah that was it
then let me say something
this is definitely backwards but
if you’re asking to romance me the answer is yes
oh thank goodness
I don’t think I’m in love with you but I could be
you’re my friend after all
and you certainly aren’t unattractive
you sure know how to complement a guy
fortunately I have had a crush on you since before we fake married
oh. Wow.
idk what to say to that
but I am willing to try
you know, if neither of us can have our prince, we can at least have each other
