Marinette has been crunching the numbers, scheming and dreaming about this moment for the past 365 days. What happens when you add two weeks, two boys, and one chance at romance? An unforgettable summer, that's for sure.
What do you get when you combine an ill-timed akuma attack, Paris' most adorably awkward teen heroes, and an accidental confession? One very exciting gym class, apparently. And maybe—with just a little bit of fumbling and the right amount of luck—a happy ending too.
She'd gone through this exact moment a million times in her head. The fantasy always ended with the two of them madly in love. It never ended with Adrien gazing at her blankly, his face smooth and expressionless. [AU where Marinette succeeds in confessing to Adrien after the events of Frozer, and everything devolves from there.]
