Some friends might be really excited. For example, Alya could jump up and down and say, 'I knew it! I've been shipping you two since forever!' She might immediately start planning double dates or asking for all the details about how they got together.
Nino could give Adrien a high - five and say something like, 'Nice, bro! You two are perfect for each other.' He would probably be more laid - back about it but still really happy for them. And he might offer to make a special playlist for their new relationship.
There could be some friends who are a bit surprised at first. But then they quickly warm up to the idea. They might say things like, 'Well, we didn't see this coming, but now that you say it, it makes total sense. Congratulations!' And then they all start sharing stories and having a great time celebrating the new couple.
They could organize a game night. During a break, Adrien could pull Marinette close and say, 'Our friends here are like family, so we thought it was time to tell you all that we're dating. We've been so happy together.' Marinette would add with a smile, 'Yes, and we hope you'll be happy for us too.' It makes the announcement a part of a fun and friendly evening.
For Hermione's friends, it would be a total shock. Harry has always been distrustful of Draco, and Ron downright hates him. When they discover Hermione is secretly friends with Draco, they would first assume it's some kind of trick. They would question Hermione's judgment. In Draco's case, his friends live in a world of prejudice. His secret friendship with Hermione would be seen as a betrayal of their pure - blood beliefs. His friends would initially be hostile towards the idea and might try to bully Hermione if they found out, which would put Draco in a difficult position of having to protect her while keeping their friendship a secret.
Hermione's friends would have a range of reactions. Ginny might be sympathetic towards Hermione, understanding the difficult position she's in. Neville could be worried about how this would affect Hermione's studies and her role in the fight against the dark forces. For Viktor's friends, they might try to encourage him to make the best of the situation. His Quidditch teammates might see it as an opportunity for Viktor to show his maturity and handle a complex situation. However, some of his closer friends might also be worried that he's getting involved in something that could end badly for him.
Harry would probably be shocked and a bit suspicious at first. He'd wonder if Draco had some underhanded plan. Ron, on the other hand, would likely be outraged. He's always had a bit of a rivalry with Draco and the thought of Hermione being married to him would be hard for him to accept. Ginny might be more open - minded and try to figure out what really happened.
If Naruto has leukemia in a fanfiction, his friends' reactions would be complex. For example, Kiba might be angry at the situation, feeling that it's unfair to Naruto. He would try to find ways to make Naruto feel better, like taking him on walks with Akamaru. Rock Lee would be inspired by Naruto's fight against the disease, seeing it as another form of training. Tenten would help by getting any items or herbs that might be useful for Naruto's treatment. And all of them together would form a strong support network for Naruto, constantly reminding him that he's not alone in this fight.
The other guild members would also have positive reactions. They would see it as a celebration of love within the guild. There might be a big party thrown in their honor, with everyone bringing gifts and sharing stories. Some of the younger members might look up to Natsu and Yukino even more, seeing them as a perfect couple and an example of true love.
One common theme is the exploration of their secret identities. Since they are Ladybug and Chat Noir in the original show, in the dating fanfiction, there's often the added tension of whether or not to reveal their true selves to each other. It adds an extra layer of complexity to their relationship.
One memorable story I've heard was about two friends who had known each other since childhood. They were always in the same friend group but never really thought of each other romantically until they went to a concert together. The energy of the concert, the shared experience, made them see each other in a new way and they started dating soon after.
They could have an adventure in an enchanted forest. Maybe they get lost and have to use Percy's skills with water to find a way out, like creating a stream that leads them to safety while Piper uses her charm - speaking to communicate with the forest animals for directions.
Annabeth would probably be quite surprised at first. But then she'd be understanding and try to help Percy adjust. Grover might be a bit more flustered, not really knowing how to act around a female Percy. Some of Percy's other friends from Camp Half - Blood could be shocked and might need some time to get used to the new Percy.
