Marinette didn't like to brag, but this was a stroke of genius. She was a genuine, certified genius. Giving herself a mental pat on the back, she carefully packed the large boxes and carried them to school.
She arrived at her classroom just as the first bell rang, and was greeted enthusiastically by her classmates.
'What 'cha got in the boxes, Mar?' Nino asked, eyeing them eagerly.
Marinette grinned, holding the boxes up proudly. 'Personalised treats,' she declared. 'Baked fresh this morning.'
The class oohed appreciatively, leaning forward in their seats. Marinette set the boxes on Nino's desk and opened the lid of the first one, facing it away from him. She wanted this to be a surprise.
She lifted out a cupcake, large enough to be called a muffin, and placed it before Nino. It had three layers of icing, diminishing tiers of blue, red, and yellow with edible music notes sprinkled on top.
'Awesome,' Nino said. 'What's with all the colours, though?'
Marinette scratched the back of her neck with a guilty smile. 'I took the inspiration from your akumatised form. Bubbler was a very colourful character. It also matches your wrist bands,' she pointed out. Nino smiled and nodded in response.
Marinette distributed all the cakes, similarly themed after each person's akumatised self, with the exception of Adrien. His cake was topped with green icing, to match his eyes, and dusted with edible gold glitter.
'What flavour are they?' asked Nathaniel, already nose deep in his red, black, and white cake.
'They're all red velvet, but with raspberry instead of the more traditional ingredients,' she answered. 'It would have been great if I could make individual flavours to match your personalities, but I was on a time crunch.'
Marinette jogged back to the front of the class to place the last cake on Madame Bustier's desk. The icing had been cleverly dyed and shaped to look like an apple sitting in the cupcake paper.
'You really outdid yourself, Girl,' Alya praised her. 'Although, I'm more impressed by the fact you were able to get up early enough to make all this.'
'I can accomplish stuff when I want to,' she huffed as she took her seat.
Madame Bustier came in, then, and called the class to order. She thanked Marinette for her thoughtfulness and set aside her cake for later.
Marinette basked in her classmates' praise all day. She was used to this type of attention as Ladybug, but as Marinette, well, she didn't know what she was. Overlooked was too strong a word, but she was definitely understated as herself, compared to when she was Ladybug.
Marinette dismissed this line of thought as depressing. It was much better, and more productive, to think about her teammates, and how she could best support them.
Ladybug was late when they all met up for patrol that night, burdened as she was by two small boxes.
'You're late,' Queen B told her, flatly.
'What's in the boxes?' Carapace asked, ignoring Queen B.
Ladybug held up the boxes proudly. 'Personalised treats,' she answered, smiling wide.
Everyone stared at her, eyes wide.
Ladybug distributed the cakes, oblivious to their shock, explaining as she went.
'They're all red velvet because I didn't have time to make different flavours for everyone. But I modelled the icing after your super selves. Chat, yours is spiky green with black sprinkles to look like Cataclysm. The chocolate medallion on top has a paw print painted on to represent your ring. Clever, right?'
'Yeah,' Chat Noir replied, weakly, as he stared helplessly between his cake and Ladybug.
She looked at all of them, proud of herself. They stared back, open mouthed and eyes bulging.
'Marinette?' Rena Rouge asked, timidly. She held her cake, but had almost forgotten it was there.
Ladybug's smile dropped as her eyes grew wide. 'What? How did you figure that out?' she asked, aghast.
'Because you did the exact same thing in class today, Stupid,' Queen B snapped.
All eyes turned to her.
Ladybug felt like she was about to faint. 'You're both in my class?'
Queen B and Rena Rouge exchanged a glance before they both nodded.
Carapace slowly raised a hand. 'Sorry, Mar,' he said with a grimace.
Ladybug was stunned. 'Nino?'
'What?' Rena Rouge and Queen B shrieked simultaneously, turning to stare at him.
Carapace frowned. 'Way to be smooth, Mar.'
'Sorry,' she replied, ducking her head.
Rena Rouge was staring at Carapace. 'You said you were studying tonight,' she said, hotly, pointing an accusing finger at him.
'Huh?' Carapace looked confused. 'Why would I tell you,' he paused. 'Alya?'
'Alya?' the rest of them repeated, shocked.
Rena Rouge threw her hands up, exasperated. 'Look who can't keep a secret, now?'
'Ugh. What moron gave you losers super powers?' Queen B exclaimed, turning her back on them.
'That much charm could only be Chloe Bourgeois,' Rena Rouge quipped, sarcastically.
Chat Noir gasped. 'Chloe?'
'Is that really such a surprise, Cat Gut?' Queen B tossed over her shoulder.
They all turned to him, next. Ladybug secretly prayed he would be the odd cat out.
Chat Noir rubbed the back of his head with a sigh. 'Yeah, me too,' he confessed.
'Are you?' Carapace began, pointing at him.
Chat Noir just winced.
'Holy cow, you are. Bro,' Carapace laughed, pulling Chat Noir in for a hug.
'Adrien?' Queen B squawked, before spluttering into silence.
Ladybug could only stare, a finger slowly rising to point at Chat Noir. 'Chat Noir is Adrien? Adrien is Chat Noir?' her world was turning upside-down.
He turned to her with an awkward grin. 'Yeah, it's me,' he confirmed.
Ladybug babbled and stuttered nonsense until her lungs ran out of air. When they were completely empty, she fainted.
'I always knew she'd fall for me,' he chuckled, though it sounded a bit forced.
Rena Rouge glared at him as she tried to rouse Ladybug.
'You twit, come and help me.'
Chat Noir scrambled to assist Rena Rouge and Ladybug. Now was definitely not the time for puns.
