Oh just one thing, if you consider words like 'crap' bad language, be warned! I've only used it once though, I'll put an asterisk (*) when it appears.

Alya's POV

Suspicious didn't cover it. 

The next morning, Adrienette were completely lost in their worlds. Marinette was just staring into space, occasionally sketching something in her sketchbook and giggling for a bit, but then she'd glance over at Adrien and her entire posture would deflate; a frustrated look on her face. Adrien would be typing something into his laptop, blushing, but then he'd glance over to Marinette and suddenly he'd get that same posture too; a tired and frustrated look. 

Nino and I carefully observed them from a distance. My glasses sliding down my nose; my Sherlock Holmes hat on; a pen and notebook in my hand- I was ready to do some serious investigating. My dedicated partner sat beside me, looking into the case. Said partner was also munching on popcorn and scrolling through his phone.

Stupid boys.

"NINO!" I scolded him, smacking the bowl out of his greedy hands, "PAY ATTENTION! WE ARE GOING TO FIND OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY SECOND FAVOURITE SHIP! DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR?!" I hollered in his ear.

He was shaking with fear. "Yes, ma'am."

"Good. Now, I'll go talk with Mari, you with Adrien. INTERROGATE HIM, SUBTLY!"

"Uh, how?"

I sighed.

After a very long and frustrating course on the art of detectiveness (yes, I'm fully aware that isn't a word) Nino was finally ready. I like to think my winning personality encouraged him. Or maybe it was my scariness. 

Either way, he headed off towards Adrien, and I investigated Marinette.

As soon as she saw me coming, she snapped her sketchbook shut and blushed. "Oh hi, Alya! How's it going?"
*

"Don't give me that crap, Mari. Why have you been blushing, sketching, and giggling on repeat?" 

Welp, so much for subtle.

She turned a deep shade of red. "What?! Uh... um... I have n-no idea what y-you're talking ab-bout! Yeah!"

I facepalmed. "Mari, you can't hide these things from me. I'm your best friend! You can tell me anything!"

She hesitated. "Alright, come on." Marinette patted the space on the sofa next to her. I mentally pat myself on the back and fell dramatically on the sofa. I think I got crumbs in my eyes, but at least it got a giggle out of her.

"Now c'mon girl! Spill!"

She huffed. "Fine. So, you know how I told you about how Adrien told me about 'the girl he loves' in his car?"

"WAIT WHAT?! WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN?!"

"Oh, I must've forgotten to tell you, it happened the day we went to that wax museum. He gave me a ride home, and yeah-"

"I AM GOING TO SMACK THAT DOUCHEBAG RIGHT IN HIS ADMITTEDLY HANDSOME FACE-"

"Alya, no!" She exclaimed. "It's all right, I guess."

"MARINETTE HOW CAN YOU BE CALM ABOUT THIS-"

"ALYA! LISTEN!"

I awkwardly stopped punching my fist in fury and listened.

"To be honest," she started, cheeks becoming redder and redder by the word, "I sorta like another guy too?"

I swear I could hear my heart shatter into tiny pieces.

"Who?!" I asked, trying not to break down.

"Uh...i-it's Chat N-noir?"

WAIT, WHAT?!

"O-oh okay. Well, I just remembered, I gotta go ask Nino something, bye!" I quickly sped away.

She just looked at me weirdly then picked up her sketchbook again.

"NINO! COME HERE! I NEED TO ASK YOU SOMETHING!" I screeched.

Nino swiftly made his way back to me. "What is it, Als?"

"You better have heard better things from Adrien that I did from Marinette." 

"Welllll..."

~FLASHBACK~

Nino's POV

"Hey bro!"

"Oh hey, Nino!" How's it going?" He replied, shutting the screen of his fancy high tech laptop down.

"It's pretty cool dude! So, uh, watcha doin'?" I gestured to his screen.

"Oh, uh, i-it's nothing! Just catching up on my schoolwork! Yeah!"

"Adrien, we're on a vacation. We're not getting homework."

He rubbed his hand along the back of his neck sheepishly. "Uh, so maybe not. I was trying to find out who Ladybug is...?"

I jumped so high my headphones flew off my head and smacked Banana Head in his face. "WHY?!"

"Well, um, I kind of like her? Like, a lot?"

I pictured Alya's furious expression when she found out that both of her ships had sunk.

"Dude, what about Marinette? Don't pretend you haven't been fantasising about the two of you getting together."

He turned red. "No no! I still like her. Or do I? Ugh, I'm so confused..."

Alya yelled for me to come back so she could 'ask me something'. 

"Go on." Adrien made a shooing gesture. "Get back to your girlfriend."

I choked. "S-she's not...we're n-not... I'm going t-to leave n-now."

He smirked and picked up his laptop.

~END FLASHBACK~

Still Nino's POV

So, I obviously left out the 'girlfriend' part.

Alya's eyes widened. She recounted her side of the story. 

"So," she started, tears forming in her eyes, "Adrien likes both Marinette and Ladybug, and Marinette likes Adrien and Chat Noir. Oh, Nino, what are we going to do?!"

She began sobbing uncontrollably. 

Oof. Just oof. Adrienette and Ladynoir are so screwed.

Whilst Alya collapsed against me, I rubbed circles in her back, comforting her for a long time. When she finally stopped crying, I pressed a kiss to her forehead. "Everything will work out Alya. I promise."

A/N: Sorry guys, I know it isn't that long. I've sorta got no clue where this story's gonna go right now, but I'm trying! I really am!

Hope you liked it!
