The usually rather composed model stood in the bathroom, staring at himself in the mirror. He's just woken up, and it was a rare occurrence of him actually remembering the dream he'd had that night. The thing was, it was a... less than innocent dream.

That's normal though right? He's a teenager, hormones happen.

The thing that had him shook? It was Luka. He'd dreamt about Luka.

It started out as an innocent dream about the two playing a concert with the band, and it did a 180 to some aggressive backstage shenanigans. Wandering hands, lewd noises, certain names...

As he'd grown up, Adrien had noticed he seemed to blush a lot when working with another super hot male model. And in the locker rooms at fencing as all these boys were getting shirtless he'd find himself staring a little too long. But he'd never really paid it any mind until recently, as his classmate Nathaniel had gotten into a relationship with another student Marc. Both of whom were boys.

He couldn't help but think about how cute they were, and the urge to have a relationship like theirs grew more and more every time he saw them. Eventually he started having the inevitable identity crisis, do I like boys?

And then... he met Luka.

Ever since he met the musician his mind had been RACING with gay thoughts he didn't know how to handle. And then he goes and had a dream about getting a bit frisky with him? It was like his subconscious was telling him that yes, he did like boys.

And so here he stood, staring himself down in the mirror processing everything that had happened to lead up to this point. It was official, he'd finally fully realised it.

He liked boys. He liked Luka.

"Earth to Adrien? ADRIEN!"

He snapped out of his daze, Plagg catching his attention.

"Plagg, I like boys..." he simply stated.

"Yeah? I kind knew that already" Plagg shrugged.

Adrien snapped his gaze toward the kwami, giving him a shocked look.

"Wh- YOU DID?!" He exclaimed.

"Kinda obvious dude, I mean to me it was. Seeing as I'm around you 24/7" Plagg replied.

"And you DID'NT TELL ME?"

"I didn't want to push you or anything!"

Adrien groaned and gently hit his head against the mirror, feeling like an idiot for not realising his super gay crush sooner.

"What the fuck am I meant to do? I've never been with a boy! I didn't even know I liked them until recently! But god he's so... AHHHH!" Adrien rambled.

"Yeesh, you're down bad. Almost worse than Ladybug..." Plagg said.

"Plagg you have no idea how bad I wanna just... make out with that man"

"Ok spare me the details-"

Adrien needed to get ready for the day, so he trudged around his room doing so as he pondered on what to do and rambled and ranted do Plagg about the revelation. What would his dad think? What about the fact Luka is Marinette's ex? Would that make things weird in the friend group? How does one even confess to a boy when they too are a boy?

And how soon in a relationship is too soon to recreate the actions in that dream?

The whole ride to school he was lost in his own racing thoughts, and by the time he was in class he'd come to the conclusion that he'd completely moved on from ladybug and was completely smitten for Luka.

The events of that dream kept coming back to him, and he kept trying to shake them from his thoughts before his face got red enough for the class to take notice. But Nino already noticed something was up with his friend, he sat right next to him so it was hard to miss. When the lunch bell rang, he dragged Adrien into an empty classroom for an interrogation.

"Alright dude, you're acting weird. What's up?" He asked.

"Nothing... I'm just... tired" Adrien tried to cover up.

"Bullshit, I know you. Tell me, if it's private I won't tell anyone, I gotchu bro"

Adrien was practically exploding, he needed to tell someone or he'd be going around in circles in his head trying to process it all. He sighed and slumped over a desk.

"I like boys and I had a dream about a particular one and now I'm loosing my mind because I want to kiss him so baaaaaaaddddd!" He groaned.

Nino was silent a moment, not expecting that.

"GodDAMN you're down bad if you're slumped over a desk like THAT-" He replied.

"I know... I don't know what to do. I don't want my dad finding out, I don't know if us dating would make the friend group weird... and I just don't know how to tell I boy I like him in general! I've never been with a boy! But FUCK, they're just so- gods..." Adrien rambled.

Now even though Nino had been on in the whole 'get Marinette to finally confess to Adrien' train this whole time, he wasn't an asshole. If Adrien was in love with a boy he would side with Adrien, no point in pushing Marinette toward him if Adrien would just end up rejecting her anyway. Now, he wanted to know who this boy was to push him toward Adrien.

"Dude, who is it? I gotta know. Maaaaybe I can help?" Nino asked.

"Luka..." Adrien admitted.

"LUKA?!"

Marinette's ex? Oh that's gonna be awkward... but he was a good choice.

"Yeah... ever since we had to hide together when desperada attacked" Adrien sighed.

"Oh so it's been a looooong time then? Damn you're smitten. Not a bad choice though, Luka is like- top tier boyfriend material..." Nino replied.

Adrien gave his bestie a pained look, completely lost on what to do.

"Dude help me, I'm so masc leaning Bi I can't think straight. He's got me out here having backstage make out dreams about him!" He pleaded.

"I gotchu bro, I gotchu. His twin is literally in our class, I can talk to her and maybe she can help set you two up" Nino replied.

"Really? You'd do that?"

"Of course! You're so in love it's actually painful to watch. I gotta get this boy to kiss you"

Thank god, Adrien had SOME support in all of this.

Before getting caught in the empty classrooms during break time, they quickly left and caught up with the rest of the group for lunch. The whole time Nino was deep in thought about hit too be the ultimate wingman, how was he going to set these two up? There was no way he could do with without Jueleka, so he needed to get her in on it first. During the next class he wrote a note, and had it passed back to Jueleka.

The class was good at sneaking notes around, and as long as it didn't end up near Chloe or Lila the information on said note stayed between the sender and recipient. Everyone was had that level of respect to not snoop, although they did want to know they kept back.

Jueleka opened it, reading the kind of messy handwriting on it.

Adrien is mega bi for Luka, help me set them up? Just don't spread this around yet, Adriens dad can't know.
-Nino

A slight grin crept onto her face, and she looked up from the note over to Nino who was giving her a knowing look. She gave him a thumbs up, and he nodded in response. Operation Lukadrien was a-go, with Lukas literal twin sister involved she could provide all the details about Luka needed to set the two up. In fact, she'd only found out about this crush mere seconds ago, but she knew they'd be a good couple.

They were both musicians, they valued friendship, they liked anime and games, they were both bi... so many things to relate to each other on. Not to mention Luka was the calming, supportive presence Adrien needed in a partner. They were the sun and moon, opposites but linked with a few common traits.

Jueleka pondered on how to approach this situation for the rest of class, wondering how she should push Luka toward Adrien naturally so he didn't freak about about the fact he's Marinette's ex and Adrien is her crush.

With Nino and Jueleka on board, Adrien and Luka would be together in no time. No doubt about it.
