#LB has a stick up her arse in this au

[edstrid]

Slowburn Au I thought would be really adorable to draw out--

Basic premise; Adrien doesn't immediately fall in love with LB and instead kins her bc she says the things he could never as Adrien. Marinette understands can relate to Adrien social inept-ness on a spiritual level so she finds herself playing the middle-man to help him make friends.

Adrien doesn't think he's in love with LB because he was taught that love is gradual and love at first sight doesn't exist.

Marinette doesn't think she's in love with Adrien bc (Canon divergence starts here) Love is a spark and happens instantly; Like the stories she's been told by her parents.

Obvi they get over this and realize in some ways they're both right and wrong and it takes 4-5 seasons to realize its love, and another 4-5 for a reveal-
