His confidence might change. Usually, Adrien is quite confident as Chat Noir but a bit more reserved as himself. When he realizes he likes Marinette, he could become more self - conscious around her. For example, he might worry more about how he looks or what he says. His priorities also shift. Instead of just focusing on his modelling or other activities, Marinette becomes more important in his thoughts. This can lead to him making different choices, like choosing to spend time with her over other things.
One common theme is the 'slow burn'. It shows Adrien gradually realizing his feelings for Marinette over time, through shared experiences like working on a school project together. Another theme could be the 'jealousy' aspect, where Adrien gets jealous of other guys who are around Marinette. This can add an interesting dynamic to the story as he starts to figure out why he feels that way. Also, the 'secret identity' theme often plays a part. Since Marinette is Ladybug and Adrien is Chat Noir in the original show, sometimes in the fanfic, Adrien's realization of his feelings for Marinette is intertwined with his relationship with Ladybug, which creates a complex and exciting plot.
The kittens can act as a catalyst for their relationship. As they play with the kittens, they might start to see each other in a new light. Marinette could see Adrien's soft side when he coos at the kittens. And Adrien might notice Marinette's nurturing nature. This newfound understanding can deepen their feelings for each other. They could start to be more open and honest with each other because of these shared kitten - related experiences.
Well, it really depends on how the author writes it. If the overprotectiveness is written in a way that respects Marinette's agency, it could be a cute and endearing aspect of their relationship. But if it comes across as controlling, it might make Marinette resent Adrien, and then they would have to work through those issues to have a healthy relationship.
Well, in some fanfictions, it could be through a dangerous situation. Maybe Lucy is in peril and Natsu's intense fear of losing her makes him realize his love. For example, if she's captured by a powerful enemy, Natsu's desperation to save her and the way his heart races at the thought of her being hurt could be the trigger.
When Naruto is ignored by his family in fanfic, his character development can take a different turn. He may develop a stronger sense of independence. He'll be forced to look for motivation within himself rather than from family approval. This could result in a more brooding and determined Naruto. His relationships with others may also be affected. He might be more cautious about getting close to people, fearing further rejection. However, it also gives room for him to grow in unexpected ways, such as finding new sources of strength and learning to rely on his inner will.
It can create unique challenges. For alphas, they may have to learn to control their power and dominance. In some fanfics, an alpha character might initially be overbearing but through the story, they learn to be more empathetic. For omegas, they often have to deal with the vulnerability associated with their status. This can lead to growth in self - confidence and independence as they face the difficulties of being an omega in an alpha - dominated society.
Another reaction could be that Marinette pretends to cooperate with Adrien at first. By doing this, she can buy time and look for an opportunity to escape or get help. She might act as if she is okay with what is happening while secretly planning her next move, like leaving a clue for someone to find her or finding a way to disable Adrien temporarily.
His character becomes more empathetic. Having experienced abuse himself, he can better understand the pain of others. This could lead to him being more kind - hearted towards those who are also suffering in the wizarding world. He might be more likely to stand up for the underdog. In these fanfics, his own pain at the hands of the Dursleys shapes his values and how he interacts with others.
Adrien's eagerness can drive the plot forward quickly. For example, he might be so impatient to meet Marinette that he makes hasty decisions, like showing up at her house unannounced. This could lead to some comical or awkward situations that add flavor to the story.
In the fanfiction, it might be due to a series of events that show Harry's vulnerability and determination. Snape could overhear Harry talking about his fears and his hopes for the wizarding world. This new side of Harry makes Snape re - evaluate his previous views. Harry may be expressing his concerns about protecting everyone, not just for his own glory, which contradicts Snape's prior assumptions.
