adrien loses a bet to nino

has to do a shoot modeling a new line of Gabriel Agreste™ underwear

two hours into it the photographer’s like “adrien sugar please work with me, you look like you’re out shopping for underpants with your mom”

they take 5 and adrien’s having a breakdown in the dressing room like i am a good model why is this so difficult

plagg’s like “kid, i have an idea. i want you to try something”

“try channeling chat”

when it comes out nino’s like “holy shit dude this is like a whole different side of you”

adrien’s loud awkward laughter

marinette is of course the first person in class to find the spread and her brain stops working for like an hour

adrien’s swagger and his suave, flirtatious looks are so familiar to her, she convinces herself they must have been lovers in another life

it’s not until later that night when she meets up with chat, after having been stewing in underwear adrien all day, that the penny drops

marinette’s brain stops working again because she realizes who she’s reminded of

SHE CANNOT BE THIS ATTRACTED TO CHAT NOIR
