History ShipTease / MiraculousLadybug

* Manon asks Marinette if Adrien is her boyfriend. She answers : "No, I mean, yes?"

* Adrien touches Marinette's hands while taking the hat she made, [[CrushBlush making her blushing.]]

** She then tries to leave him a message in his voicemail, but she then conclude by what she certainly won't tell him. Like : "I've got such a crazy crush on you" or calling him "Hot stuff".

** In the end, when she is proposed to go to the movies with Alya, Nino and Adrien, she leaps of joy, with a LoveBubbles background.

--> '''Marinette''': I don't know which I loved more. The show or sitting next to my sweet Adrien!
--> '''Alya''': Maybe you should give him a call and ask him out to a movie.

* "Migration" has the two, under the effect of an Akuma, each do a LoveConfession for the other. Rose's version has her confess her love for Juleka, and after a pause do the same for all her friends. Juleka, meanwhile, clearly sings ''about'' Rose without actually mentioning her by name.

''WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug'' is in many ways a reaction to shojo manga and the soapy costumed romances of the 20th century, and this is reflected in its character interactions.

The show ''WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug'' is in many ways a reaction to shojo manga and the soapy costumed romances of the 20th century, and this is reflected in its character interactions.

* Rose casually mentions at the end of "Oblivio" that she and Juleka play ''Super Penguino'' together all the time, a thinly veiled DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything that's detailed on [[Radar/MiraculousLadybug the Radar page]].

* Jubiliation used on Ladybug and Cat Noir causes them to have a dream about defeating Darker Owl, finding the address of Monarch in Dark Owl's pocket, going to there to defeat Monarch once and for all...and then the two fall in love, marry, and have four children together. [[AmbiguousSitation It's never specified how much of the dream comes from Ladybug's desires and how much of it is from Cat Noir's desires]], but even the status quo of Cat Noir being in love with Ladybug while she prefers to keep it professional is difficult to stick to since Ladybug communicates with Cat Noir that it's all just a dream and then initiates a kiss with him before they wake up and after they wake. While Cat Noir goes through a brief UnstoppableRage in reaction to having been put into the dream, Ladybug instead is still entirely bummed out even while she's using Miraculous Ladybug. When the two talk about the dream at the end of the episode, Ladybug suggests the power of the Pig Miraculous was changed somehow to trick them rather than denying the romantic aspects of the dream could be attributed to her.

* "Psychomedian" features the most blatant moment between the two ever. When talking about Marinette's love for Adrien, Rose says that "there's no love without friendship." She and Juleka gaze at each other and then lean their heads on each other.

** And then Plagg comments "First day of school and we already have two lovebirds.". Master Fu who watch from afar conclude:"Those two are made for each other.".

* In "Glaciator 2," Cat Noir agrees to help Marinette practice confessing her love for the boy she likes, and (after many false starts) becomes deeply moved by her genuine LoveConfession.

* In "Weredad," contrary to his usual TheCasanova tendencies, Cat Noir is surprised and elated by Marinette's "LoveConfession" for him, brings a pink rose for their date despite intending to break up with her, and seems tempted to go along with it before reaffirming his feelings for Ladybug. Afterwards, he seems to regret breaking things off for more than just ([[DramaticIrony seemingly]]) hurting her feelings.

* The characters themselves do some LampshadeHanging. When Marinette starts her usual nervous stammering in front of Adrien [[TemptingFate right after]] telling Marc not to be so nervous talking to Nathaniel, Marc observes that she's just as bad as him. At the end of the episode, when Marc lays his hand on Nathaniel's, a blink-and-you'll-miss-it frame shows Ladybug and Chat Noir doing their characteristic "Pound it!" behind them, with Chat Noir noting that Nath and Marc are just like him and Ladybug.

* In "Evillustrator", Cat noir tries to kiss [[IKissYourHand Marinette's hand]] when introduced to her.

* When Animan, as a T-rex, swallows Ladybug, cat Noir let out a BigNo and threaten the villain: " You're so gonna pay for this!"
** When she makes it safe and sound, Cat Noir, instead to do their "fist bump", hugs her with relief.

* Ladybug pushes Cat Noir to safety and [[SuggestiveCollision he lands on her]]. And probably initiate a kiss attempt, but Ladybug pushes his face away.

* When Cat noir realizes that Ladybug too knows the game Ultimate Mecha Strike, he answers: [[GeekyTurnOn "See? You and me! It was meant to be." ]]

* Cat Noir, in the end: "And Ladybug, FYI, you can pull my heartstrings any day! (Winks)"

** Right after reaffirming that they are a team, Ladybug run past Cat noir. [[HeldGaze They look in each other eyes in slow motion.]]

* Adrien write a love poem for Ladybug, but can't finish it, and finally throws it away.

Complimentary spirits of creation and destruction who have worked beside each other for millennia.

* Multiple student duos (who are couples [[HoYay/MiraculousLadybug as well as Chloe and Sabrina]]) mention enjoying the game Super Penguino together, Adrien expresses interest in the game while having yet to play it and Alya corroborates he just needs the right partner for it, "...right, Marinette?", causing Marinette's usual CrushBlush.

** Marinette have to hide her StalkerShrine of Adrien, in panic, as the latter will enter her room.

* The various times where Gabriel reacts to Natalie nearly fainting from using the damaged Peacock Miraculous in season 3 (and a little bit of Mayura from season 2) and his tendency to hold her/touch her in ways that could be seen as romantic.
