Maxinette

Canon
Marinette and Max are students at Françoise Dupont High School, where they have been in the same class since the previous school year. They have very little interaction with each other outside of school, but there are times when both of them take part in some of the group activities, as well as a few kinds of group get togethers with the rest of their classmates. Like most Parisians, Max has respect for Ladybug and sees her as a wonderful protector of Pairs, all without knowing that she is secretly his kind, clumsy classmate.

In "Gamer", Max had gotten upset with Marinette when she beats him at Ultimate Mecha Strike III in which has her taking his place in the torment. He tries to hide it but his built up frustration had gotten him akumatized into the titled villain, and after Ladybug and Cat Noir were able to de-akumatize Marinette, who felt back for what she earlier did to him and had wanted to set things right between them, tells Max that he should have her place in the torment. In which has Max he gaining a lot more respect for her, and he encourages her to be his partner after Adrien drops out for both of them.
