Work Text:
SpottedToast: how did it go?
write_or_die: long or short version?"
SpottedToast: definitely long
No one in either their classes could understand how Marinette hadn't dropped dead, exhausted by the five thousand activities she did on a daily basis, or how Marc was still alive and functioning at top speed even after writing for hours every night.
Or how were they still managing to focus, let alone only on their lessons, but in the daily update conversation they were currently holding and somehow managing to hide.
"Hey, Mari," Alya whispered. "Do you have number five?" Looking at her own work again, she added. "Actually, the first five?"
Marinette only responded with a nod, extending her notebook towards her. Even if math was definitely not her strength, Alya knew she had a better shot by asking since she tended to get to the right answer, even if the procedure was... questionable to say the least.
While Alya rushed to scribble the answer on her own notebook, Marinette continued texting.
SpottedToast: ...waiting
write_or_die: sorry mendeleiev walked by me
write_or_die: anyways
write_or_die: so last night nath texted me
write_or_die: and he asked if I wanted to do something
write_or_die: pretty early, around 11
SpottedToast: wait isn't he usually like dead by that time?
write_or_die: yeah it surprised me too, thought he'd want to call til he fell asleep or something
SpottedToast: I'm guessing it wasn't for that
write_or_die: yeah it wasn't
write_or_die: turns out there's this brand new boat that sails the Seine
write_or_die: super romantic, it has roses everywhere, advertised for couples and everything
SpottedToast: gay
SpottedToast: anyways you were telling me
write_or_die: so like he calls me at 11 PM
write_or_die: time by which hes usually already asleep
write_or_die: and first thing he mentions is the boat
write_or_die: turns out it sails at midnight
SpottedToast: midnight
SpottedToast: midnight midnight
SpottedToast: as in midnight by which your boyfriend nathaniel kurtzberg, king of being sleepy by eight, is always asleep
write_or_die: yep
"Thanks!" Alya mouthed as she slid the notebook back to Marinette, hoping she would grab it before it was too obvious she wasn't paying attention.
Meanwhile, Marinette was too busy on her phone.
SpottedToast: yeah that explains why he looks straight up dead today
SpottedToast: he already fell asleep like three times
SpottedToast: and it isn't even lunchtime yet
write_or_die: i told him he didnt have to do it
write_or_die: but no
write_or_die: he insisted in having a romantic night
SpottedToast: so, how did it go? you havent even actually begun to tell me
write_or_die: do you remember that time we pulled an all nighter for the last comic we worked on?
SpottedToast: the one you had me over for the costume design advice?
write_or_die: that one
SpottedToast: well...
write_or_die: remember how he knocked over his coffee and almost ruined the entire thing?
SpottedToast: yeah I'm never letting him near my design tablet again after that
write_or_die: well, figure that Nathaniel
write_or_die: add a sprinkle of your clumsiness
write_or_die: and a boat sailing across the Seine
SpottedToast: oof
write_or_die: the worst part is that apparently he gets motion sickness
"Marinette, can you write down exercise three?" The teacher was pointing towards the whiteboard.
SpottedToast: hldup
She ran to the front, writing the exercise along with its procedure.
"Students, I want you to analyze the way your classmate figured out her own procedure. It is not the one I gave you, but it gives the right answer!" The teacher turned to Marinette.
"It's correct, but I think you should review the class procedure. Just in case."
"I will. Can I go back to my seat?" she asked eagerly. The teacher nodded, and as soon as she turned her back to the whiteboard, she took out her phone.
write_or_die: hld
SpottedToast: sorry for being responsible and paying a attention to my class
She hid the phone with a swift movement as she sat down, covering it perfectly before taking it out again, this time completely forgetting about her notebook.
SpottedToast: we were on motion sickness and the mess nath is
write_or_die: yep so within ten minutes, he closed his eyes for a second
write_or_die: and was this close to falling off the edge
SpottedToast: i dont think even that would have woken him up
write_or_die: THAT WAS THE THING
write_or_die: the boat had this obnoxious, really loud horn
write_or_die: and they rang it like twice
write_or_die: and nath didnt even squirm a little
SpottedToast: speaking of which, huesswhat
write_or_die: huesswhat
SpottedToast: I dont think nathaniel has to know you used to drag me to follow him around the school
write_or_die: NO ALRIGHT
write_or_die: anyways what were you gonna say?
SpottedToast: guess who fell asleep again
write_or_die: you know
write_or_die: normally I'd love to go and annoy him
write_or_die: but I'm in another classroom and trust me, hes TIRED
write_or_die: so no
SpottedToast: ...i'm not you though
write_or_die: if I happen to hear you were the one to not let nath get some sleep I dont think adrien has to know about the times YOU dragged me around
write_or_die: or kim
write_or_die: or alya
write_or_die: be glad I dont have kagami's number or I'd threaten you with her too
SpottedToast: yeah fine you win
write_or_die: even if you tried I dont think he'd wake up though
SpottedToast: a truck just passed right below our window, honked and hes still asleep
SpottedToast: what kind of magic is this
SpottedToast: I need some
write_or_die: maybe if you didnt drink so much coffee
SpottedToast: you have twice as much as me AND sweeter
SpottedToast: you have no right to criticize me regarding my coffee habits
SpottedToast: plus my parents are the ones that sell you your coffee so I dont think you should go there
write_or_die: FINE
write_or_die: anyways
write_or_die: I was telling you
write_or_die: he almost fell
write_or_die: so I told him to sit down
SpottedToast: anddd
write_or_die: he sat down next to me
write_or_die: and I was having a croissant
write_or_die: and he fell asleep on my shoulder
SpottedToast: wait
SpottedToast: he doesn't get up when hes asleep
write_or_die: yeah...
write_or_die: so you know how I told you the thing
write_or_die: the holder thing?
SpottedToast: I still have my doubts about whether LB actually allowed you to tell me but yeah
write_or_die: well, turns out the only way to wake him up is by suing a superpower specifically designed for that
"Marinette, what is the answer to number eight?" the teacher asked.
"...eight?"
