Peter transferred to Paris with two secrets:

First, he's Spider-Man.

Second, his classmate, Marinette, is actually that Ladybug!

The super partner who fights Paris's villains alongside him and saves the city with him!

Most importantly... he's in love with his partner.

Marinette, who attends Dupont High, has two secrets of her own.

1. She's Paris's newest hero.

After accidentally gaining the power to transform, she sometimes swings across the Paris skyline in a skintight suit. Luckily, another young hero around her age also wears a tight costume, so things aren't too awkward.

2. She just lied to her parents and told them Spider-Man is her boyfriend!

The ladybug-colored girl sat on the Eiffel Tower, fidgeting with her fingers and avoiding his gaze as she told her friend, "I... My friend Marinette has to stay late lately because of... club activities, but her parents are worried about her."

"So she told them you're her boyfriend to put their minds at ease." Marinette gave an awkward smile beneath her mask. "But her parents want to invite you over for dinner, so..."

She took a deep breath. "Spidey, can you help her out?"

Peter bent the rebar in his hand.

"Oh, sure."

Damn it, his mouth had agreed before his brain could catch up.

Only after Marinette left, cheerfully swinging away with her yo-yo, did he look at the invitation in his hand and realize just how serious this was.

Whatttt?! Whose boyfriend was he supposed to be? Distracted, Peter smacked himself into a wall.

After transforming back, Marinette saw the young hero who had even brought flowers for the occasion. Relieved by his kindness, she vowed, "Spidey, I promise I'll only ask you for help this once!"

Peter Parker: Actually... I wish you'd ask me for help more often >_<

"Can a spider fall in love with a ladybug?"

After class, Peter secretly typed the words beneath his desk.

The browser spun for a moment, then gave him an answer.

"Spiders are carnivorous predators, while ladybugs often end up in spiderwebs. They are predator and potential prey."

"This kind of love doesn't exist in nature. When hungry, spiders will spin webs and actively hunt ladybugs."

His Ladybug was clever, so he would have to spin his web carefully.

Please read before starting!!

1. This is a pure crack ship fic. MJ and Adrien do not exist in this world. If you don't like that, please don't read, and please don't post ships other than Spider-Man x Ladybug (kneeling).

2. OOC, a product of my imagination, written like a grade-schooler.

3. I just think these two insect-themed heroes are adorable, and even more adorable together, so I wrote this! A super coooool team of underage heroes will be born here!

4. Love and peace. Let's agree to disagree.

5. Everything is for the sake of Ladybug and Spider-Man's happiness.

6. Addition: Some slight everyone-loves-Marinette vibes, with a wacky love polygon where she loves him, he loves her, and so on. But they're all one-sided, and the only mutual pairing is Peter x Marinette, one-on-one, set in stone!
