Description
Feeling hopeless about her love for Adrien, Marinette is accustomed to her life as being one of his closest friends as the gang continued to live their life after lycée. That is until one night out with her friends, Adrien confides that he desperately does not want to attend his ex's gala alone. While his father might have one idea of the future he had planned for his son, Adrien dreams of the exact opposite and is attempting to slowly stride away from that life. Much to her fluttering mind, this results in Marinette stepping in and taking the spot of acting as his fake girlfriend for the event. For the sake of her dear friend. Anyway, it would all just be a temporary ruse. There was nothing in between them... right? **Artwork by me** **Please note that this fic is based on mid-season 4. Season 5 context is NOT included. Also, the season 4 finale did not occur in this AU. **Marinette and Adrien received their miraculous at the age of 16 rather than 13/14.
