[Brucinette] prompt/idea

Here’s the thing, I’m not a writer but I have unfortunately fallen into the rabbit hole that is Maribat, English is also not my first language, so correcting me and my grammar is welcomed and appreciated.

• So basically She has a crush on Adrian but the difference is that after a few weeks she realizes that she sees him more like a best friend/brother
• At the same time, she realizes he’s gay but says nothing to him until there like 16
• btw she gets Tikki at 13 a few months later the Lila incident happens and just because I’m a salty person, the class betrayal (excluding Alex, Julica, Luca, Kagami, and of course Adrian, side note Chloe too) happens but instead of wallowing in self-pity she suks it up and doesn’t care, because our girl knows her worth and stuff
• She becomes the Guardian at 14, she and Adrian reveal themselves to each other and are basically like:

• Like a week later Marinette ends up running into Chloe being sad and stuff, they have this heart to heart chat about the class and how Sabrina left her, the Miracle Queen incident, their parents, the expectations set on them, Chloe apologizes and they end up becoming friends (#ILoveChloeRedemptionFics)
• 15 nothing big happens
• 16 it’s time for that talk with Adrian this is how I imagine it would go:

Mari: Adrian we need to talk.

Adrian: yes Mari?

Mari: Adrian, how do I put this…

Adrian: Mari are you ok?

Mari: You know what I’ll just say it.

*Marinette places Adrian’s hands in her own*

Adrian: ok now you’re starting to scare me.

Mari: Adrian… You’re gay.

…

Adrian: what?

Mari: Chris Hemsworth or Gal Gadot.

Adrian: Chris Hems-

…

• A few more years later after college
• So basically I imagine Both Adrian and Marinette’s parents are setting them up on dates left and right, so they come up with this plan to fake date, Mari because she wants to focus on her Fashion career and Adrian become he doesn’t want to date girls, and Gabrial doesn’t know he’s gay and wouldn’t approve of it.
• So basically everyone falls for it except their friends who know the truth.
• Time skip 2 years later they decide to get married because they both want kids and trust each other. (they’re basically 26 at this point)

(side note: Adrian doesn’t model anymore and decided he wants to be a photographer and does business on the side, he’s co CEO with Mari for MD (Miraculous Designs)

• 27 is a hectic year Mari and Adrian have twin girls, Emily and Valerie, Adrian finally comes out to his father (doesn’t take it well and the fight), they take Hawkmoth down finding out it’s actually Gabrial, move to New York because Mari need to keep the balance and stuff, plus it’s where all their friends live now, they also get divorced, but still live together.
• I imagine Emily with Straight blond hair and blue eyes, and Valerie with really wavy Red hair and blue eyes that match her sister’s (BTW I imagine Gina, Mari’s grandma had red hair when she was younger))

• Over the years she’s visited the Guardian temple, finished her training, she’s become a fashion icon/household name.
• Let’s say now she’s about 35 and decides to move to Gotham because of the imbalance in the city, Emily and Valerie come with.
• for some reason, I imagine Emily being this sweet Angelic child and Valerie being this little daredevil child that will milk you for all you’re worth that only really listens to her mother, and sometimes Adrian, and her aunts and uncles, I also imagine their as chaotic at their parents and thrive on all the chaos they’d create.
• at this point I imagine Adrian has a boyfriend, he was either dating him before he got divorced in secret except only his friends knew, or they started after, it’s just idk if it should be a made-up character, Luca, or another person from ML or DC

• Now this is how I imagine Bruce and Marinette would meet
• Mari would be invited to a Wayne foundation party/gala as MDC, she’d of course go because it’s charity.
• While she’s there she drops a check in the donation box, grabs a drink, and heads to the balcony to avoid the snotty rich people.
• When she’s on the balcony, she’s probably designing/Sketchy something inspired by the view in a design book she managed to fit in her bag when she’s rudely interrupted byyyyy ‘dorm role please’ you guessed it, Bruce.
• I imagine she wouldn’t know who he is and would end up having this conversation with him that would end up in them exchanging first names and phone numbers.
• They end up on a few dates together, a few identities and secret reveals later, and they’re married with A house/mansion, a dozen or so children, a zoo, oh and Alfred! :D

That really all I have for this idea, I also have somewhat of an idea of how the kids would meet and react to their parent’s partner/lover.
