Clorinde: Ooh, somebody has a crush Wriothesley: Pfft, I don’t have a crush on Neuvillette I just think they’re cool, it’s not like I stay up at night thinking about them. *Later that night* Wriothesley, very much awake: Uh oh.

...

Neuvillette: There's no way they like me back. Clorinde: Wriothesley would throw himself in front of a moving car for you. Neuvillette: Wriothesley would throw himself in front of a moving car for fun.

...

*Neuvillette dies in a game with ships* Wriothesley: This ship is no longer a ship of love, it's a ship of vengeance, a gavel of justice against all that is wrong in the world, showing no mercy, as no mercy was shown to us. Wriothesley: The spark of love will now fuel the fires of destructive glory as I wage my war across the world with righteous fury. Clorinde: Legend has it that Neuvillette still haunts the ship, stealing my fucking drinks. Neuvillette: Of course I do.

...

Wriothesley: How do you tell someone that you wanna have sex with them in a polite way? Neuvillette: Excuse me [insert name]. Would you give me the honours of indulging in sexual activities with you? Clorinde: What the fuck is wrong with you two?

...

Clorinde: Hey, no, you stay out of this, this is between me and Wriothesley! Neuvillette: So Wriothesley knows about this? Clorinde, walking away: No, this is between me and me!

...

Neuvillette: Would you take a bullet for me? Wriothesley: ...yes? *Clorinde angrily burst into the room* Neuvillette: *running away* Great, thanks!

Mistletoes are stupid, Ch. 1

AO3

This is my Secret Sant fic for the lovely @omnoramayday !! I'm so sorry this took so freaking long, Merry Christmas and a happy new Year!!

Summary: An incident with a mistletoe makes Marinette leave the Christmas party at Adrien's house. She can find better ways to spend her night, for example delivering pizzas with her favorite pizza delivery person…

If Marinette had known the night would turn out like this, she would‘ve never come to this stupid party.

But there she was, standing in the middle of the room, regretting just about every life decision she had ever made as Adrien stood in front of her, anxiously biting his lips. Behind her, Alya quietly chanted, “now kiss!“ sounding entirely too proud of herself.

Annoyed, Marinette turned around to see her equally too proud grin. „Why are you like this?“

„You‘re standing under the mistletoe.“ She shrugged. „And then everything will work out from there. Come on, it‘s your duty!“

Alya turned her friend around with a spin and gave her a little push, causing her to crash into Adrien. Luckily, he reacted quickly enough to catch her, holding her by the shoulders.

„Uhm… so…“ He probably would‘ve scratched his neck if he had a free hand. 

Please say no. Please say that you feel sick or something. Anything.

„Let‘s just get this over with, okay?“

„Are you kidding me?“ she hissed. Adrien just gave her a shrug and leaned in. „It can just be a peck, right?"

„I don‘t want that.“ Marinette pleaded and Adrien gave her an apologetic look. 

„But… we have to.” He sounded extremely nervous. “Lots of people are watching, we can’t just not do it?“

Things happened very quickly afterwards. Marinette didn‘t really fully register shoving Adrien away from her, or how Alya yelled something like “what in the world are you doing?”, or how she ran through the crowd, crashed into a few people on her way, mumbled apologies they probably didn‘t hear and only stopped when she reached the door and ran outside into the garden of the Agreste mansion.

Since Gabriel had been exposed as Monarch, he had lost custody over his son, amongst other things. Nathalie became his legal guardian, and as she wasn‘t controlling over him, Adrien used this new found freedom to have friends over at his mansion quite frequently. Nobody had been surprised when he had given out invitations to half of the school for a Christmas party.

Marinette had looked forward to it, like everyone else, but with her luck, she should‘ve known something like that would happen. She let out a sigh and leaned against the wall.

„Marinette, aren‘t you cold without a jacket?“

She looked up to see Mylene approach her, followed by Ivan. She gave the couple a weak smile and a shrug. „I‘ll manage.“

„You look… stressed.“ Ivan commented. „Did something happen?“

„Alya happened.“ she replied, crossing her arms in front of her chest. „And Adrien. And a mistletoe.“

Now that she thought about it, weren’t mistletoes so stupid? What did these dumb twigs think, trying to dictate who should make out with who? Oh, if only she could make a wish with her and Chat noirs miraculouses, she’d wish for the mistle toe tree to go extinct in exchange for some plant that didn’t force her to kiss other people.

Mylene and Ivan both looked at each other, then back at Marinette. Judging by their faces, they didn‘t need further explanation.

„I‘m sorry, Marinette. That must‘ve been… awkward.“ 

„Yeah well, I‘m no stranger to awkward situations. It’s kind of my trademark at this point.“ Marinette said. 

Mylene stepped closer to her and gave Marinette‘s shoulder a gentle squeeze, then running her hand up and down her arm. Marinette appreciated the gesture and gave her friend a warm smile.

„I sometimes have the feeling that Alya took our break-up with Adrien harder than me and him,“ She said after a while. 

Mylene chuckled. “Well, she was the most invested of all of us. You‘ve seen it yourself.”

“I know, and it’s not like I didn’t accept help at first. But now that we’re exes who’re finally at a point of being somewhat normal around each other, it’s just...” She looked up at the night sky, which was mostly covered with thick clouds. There were only a few small gaps through which some stars sparkled. “It’s just so embarrassing. And Alya doesn’t understand.”

“It’s none of her business,” Ivan commented. “She doesn’t have a right to meddle if you told her not to.”

“Well, I didn’t directly tell her that,” Marinette admitted. “I just assumed we’d be done with all that. I just want to do things on my own without any outside forces! I want things to happen naturally and confess my feelings on my own terms, is that really too much to ask for?”

Mylene and Ivan exchanged curious looks.

“... confess your feelings to who?”

Marinette's eyes grew wide and she clasped her hands over her mouth. 

“Who do you think she’s talking about,” Ivan laughed. “There’s only one person she could have a crush on.”

“I don’t have a crush on Luka!”

“... I didn’t say Luka’s name.”

Marinette groaned and hid her entirely too hot face in her hands. Ivan’s and Mylene’s chuckle made her wish the ground would just swallow her up.

“Don’t worry, we won’t tell Alya,” Mylene promised. “Or anyone else for that matter.”

Maybe she shouldn’t be surprised that Mylene and Ivan would know about her feelings for Luka. She was never exactly subtle about romantic feelings in general, and the increased hours she had hung out on the house boat, their constant flirting, their frequent one on one time probably have been strong indicators.

After her break-up with Adrien, he had been there to be a shoulder to cry on and cheer her up with pretty melodies on his guitar. That’s just the kind of guy he was. It was really only a matter of time before she developed feelings for him again. Or the ones she had in the past never really went away and just resurfaced, she wasn’t actually sure. Either way, she had hoped Luka would be there tonight, and her disappointment had been immeasurable when Juleka had told her that he couldn’t make it.

“I was actually hoping that I could maybe… work up the courage to…“ She shrugged. „It doesn‘t matter anyway, he‘s not here.”

Mylene sighed and squeezed Marinette’s shoulder gently. “I’m sure there’ll be other chances. You two see each other so often, I’m actually a little surprised nothing has happened yet. But… maybe we should go back inside, you’ll catch a cold.”

Marinette nodded. “Go ahead, I’ll be right there. Don’t tell Alya where to find me.”

Mylene and Ivan headed back inside while Marinette contemplated what to do now. 

Despite the shivering, she didn‘t make any moves to go back inside, which was arguably… no, definitely stupid. But as she thought about Alya trying to rope her into another dumb matchmaking scheme or the possibility of more awkward Adrien situations, she considered turning into a popsicle as the better choice.

The night could’ve been perfect. Luka would’ve been there, they would’ve talked and danced all night, they’d exchange gifts and then Marinette would’ve asked Luka out on a date. Maybe to go ice skating or grab a hot chocolate. But as always, destiny just had to be a bitch and have his work call him in to replace a sick coworker last minute.

„You‘re shivering, Marinette.“ Tikki flew out of her bag and floated in front of Marinette‘s face. „Shouldn‘t you at least grab your coat?“

“He‘s delivering Pizza, Tikki.“ She let out a frustrated groan. „Freaking Pizza. Pizza isn‘t even a good Christmas meal, who orders—“

“Do you remember last year when your mom accidentally burned the food?“ Tikki pointed out. “Didn’t you order food as well?”

Right, her maman had been visibly upset even long after they had eaten the takeout. Not even Ultimate mecha strike 3 had been able to cheer her up. 

So really, who was Marinette to judge?

Ugh, why was it so cold??

„Marinette, please just go inside.“ Tikki grabbed her finger and pulled her hand towards the door, but Marinette didn‘t move.

„I can‘t, Tikki…“

The small kwami shook her head. „Everything is so complicated with you humans...“

„I‘m sorry. I just don‘t know what to do,“ Marinette admitted. „If only Luka was here…“

„Then ask him what to do! I‘m sure he‘d also tell you to go inside!“ Tikki pinched her cheek. 

“I don’t want to bother him with my dumb problems,” Marinette protested, but if she were being honest, calling Luka didn’t sound like such a bad idea. Hearing his voice always made her feel better, and when Tikki fished the phone out of the bag, Marinette took it automatically. Her ice cold fingers moved extremely slowly over the touchscreen, but luckily, he was high up in her contact list. Tikki made herself comfortable on Marinette’s shoulder while she put the phone to her ear and waited a few seconds.

“Marinette?”

"Hey, Luka.”

“Hey you.” She could hear his smile through the phone. “What’s up?”

She already felt better. He had said five words with this low, smooth voice of his and Marinette’s lips already curled into a smile. 

“Just wanted to hear your voice and check in on you. I hope you‘re not too cold, are your clothes warm enough?“

On the other side of the line, she heard a low chuckle which sent a shiver down her spine. „It‘s super cold and I’m so tired, but I‘ll be fine. The gloves you made me last year are a life saver.“

„Oh, I‘m happy to hear that.”

“So how’s the party? Are you having a good time?” Luka asked. 

Marinette hit her lips. “Uhm…”

No, Alya almost made me kiss my ex and now I’m standing outside freezing, which is still better than going back inside to confront them…

“Well, it’s…”

Even though confronting Alya is the smarter choice? Just telling her off and hoping that the lesson would stick? But this could very well end in a blow-out fight and I don’t want to fight Alya over something stupid like that. She’s still my friend…

“You know…”

Alya didn’t have bad intentions, she just wants to help me. Even though I never asked for help… but still, intentions matter, don’t they?

Marinette bit her lips.

If only Adrien had said something, but he just can’t help but bend to everyone’s will…

It dawned on her how unbelievably pathetic this all was. She got confronted with one slightly uncomfortable thing, refused to deal with it in an effective way and instead ran away from her problems. Shouldn’t she be over this already? 

She felt how a lump was forming in her throat and her eyes became watery. God, this couldn’t possibly get worse…

“Marinette?” Luka’s voice sounded concerned.

Somehow, the words found a way past the lump and she could get out a weak “It’s fine.” which really only made matters worse, because if there was one thing she hated more than lying, it was lying to Luka specifically.

But she didn’t want to rant to him about what had just went down. It wasn‘t like he had a hard enough time with his delivery job, biking through the city for hours in this cold. Was it really necessary to bother him with her dumb problems as well? 

The phone remained quiet for a few more seconds.

“Is it?” Luka asked, clearly unconvinced.

„Uh… yeah, it’s—“

She suddenly has to sneeze.

„Marinette, are you outside? I mean, bless you, but… are you sure everything is okay?“

Then the tears streamed down her face. She put a hand over her mouth to keep herself from making any noises and confirming Luka’s suspicions.

“Marinette, you know you can talk to me…”

Maybe she should just hang up and pretend this conversation never happened.

No, that will make me look even more suspicious…

She rubbed the tears away from her face, which she could barely feel at this point, and cleared her voice a few times until she felt that her voice would sound somewhat normal again.

“Sorry. I’m probably just wasting your time by keeping you on the phone.”

“No, no, don‘t apologize.” Luka immediately replied. “It’s nice hearing your voice. Even though right now you really don’t sound too happy and I’m a little worried.”

“Sorry, I didn’t want you to worry.” Marinette sighed. “I just… I guess I just really miss you at this party.” That wasn’t a lie. 

On the other side of the line, Luka let out a long sigh. “Believe me, I’m just as bummed out. Hanging out with you is a thousand times better than delivering pizza, especially not that it’s so unbelievably cold.”

“Not to disrespect your boss, but screw him for making you work tonight,” Marinette said.

Luka let out a bitter laugh. “They needed someone to jump in. Trust me, I would love to bail if it didn’t mean I’d lose my job.”

If this was a comic, there would be a lightbulb glowing over Marinette’s head at this moment. 

Bailing… of course. He couldn’t bail from his job, but she on the other hand could totally bail from a party she didn’t want to be at anymore. No confrontation with Alya, no more awkward situations with Adrien, just her and Luka being together. Her heart sped up and she smiled. Why hadn’t she thought of that much sooner?

“Marinette, are you still there?”

“I am, I just… I have a surprise for you!”

“Oh?” Luka sounded surprised. “That’s sweet of you. Hopefully we’ll meet up soon, then.”

“Sooner than you might think, actually,” she chimed and before he could ask further questions, she said good-bye and hung up her phone. Tikki gave her a suspicious look. 

“What are you up to?”

“I’m done with the party,” Marinette said enthusiastically. “Instead, I’ll just pay Luka a visit and keep him company on his job!”

“What?” The kwami flew away from her holder’s shoulder and hovered in front of her face. “How are you planning to even find him? You didn’t ask him where he is and Paris is a huge city!”

“Oh, I think it’s rather easy when you can jump from rooftop to rooftop and get a look from above.” Marinette winked at Tikki. 

The kwami blinked a few times. “Are you aware that you'd be using your powers for selfish reasons?”

“Then how about I use that opportunity to do a quick patrol beforehand? I’ll check that there’s no akuma anywhere and after I confirm that, I’ll look for Luka.” Marinette folded her hands in front of her. “Please, Tikki. I know I’m being selfish, but… just this once will you let me use your powers like that?”

Tikki rubbed her chin as she considered her holder's words, then nodded. “Fine, I’ll allow it. Under one condition.”

“Anything.”

Tikki came closer to her ear. “Go inside and grab your coat first!”

Might as well send an absolute classic RO ask!

How would the RO's react to MC that occasionally kisses RO every time they leave for somethin and then MC just forgets one time?

AW that's such a cute little routine, okay!

[under the cut!]

A. Bellefleur; Would probably follow MC to the door, and out the door if needs be, pouting all the while and whining about how they missed a step before leaving. If they do manage to follow MC out, you can guarantee they've forgotten their keys, MC will have to let them back into the house (they are very sheepish and throw in an extra kiss for good measure).

K. Valiev; Would catch MC before they leave and press a gentle kiss to their forehead, light-heartedly chiding them about forgetting. Over the next couple of days they might teasingly remind MC, you know, 'just in case'.

A. Caras; Probably wouldn't notice, consciously, but they know all day that just something is off, and they head to work feeling odd. When they both get home in the evening, and they see MC, it will finally click, and they will grumble quietly about a 'ruined day' over something 'so stupid'. You find them waiting at the door for their kiss for the next few days.

T. Bellefleur; They're surprised by how much it bothers them, once they notice. They don't mention it all day, until you're both done for the evening, where they casually bring up that they missed your 'silly' routine and that you 'better not forget it again'. There is an odd level of (mostly concealed) anxiety to the jab, and they on and off watch you the next few times you leave, just to make sure you're honouring your word.

M. Serrel; They reel you back in, pulling you close, and refuse to let you go until you've fulfilled the 'kiss quota' (they never give you a number, so you just pepper their face until they giggle and push you out the door, which usually works). They've not made you late, yet, but they get damn close sometimes, you wonder if they're doing it on purpose or if lady luck just loves them.

[letitbehurt]

A Whumpee in the back seat of a moving car. Maybe they’re blindfolded. Maybe their hands are tied in front of them. Maybe there are guards on either side of them, each gripping one of Whumpee’s arms.

Maybe it’s dead silent, or maybe the only sounds are coming from Whumpee’s panicked breathing and blurted questions, asking where they’re going, what’s happening, who are these people, why me?

[starz0rstuff]

“Take a good look around you, Rhys… this is what success looks like. You’ll see… after a while you start to measure it by the size of the pile of destruction around you.”

(The BIG ONE and a small doodle I did to figure out how to draw this silly fellow)

[dingle-biter]

Doodles while I figure out how I wanna draw my worlds largest pixie behemoth boy >:333

[firelise]

something about sand as orpheus with his guitar and ray as eurydice following behind, is that anything?
