It doesn't ultimately surprise Alya and probably doesn't surprise anyone else either that Nino is the one to make the graduation slideshow.
He carefully picked out music that pretty much everyone had some connection to these past few years or so since they all met and started their last years of school.
Nino also arranged the pictures and steadied the flow of the slideshow, and even Alya had the undeniable urge to want to dance as they stared at the slideshow, seeing silly pictures, serious ones, and everything involving another event or so that someone participated in.
There even was a sneaky picture that she honestly was concerned that Nino took instead of a teacher of Adrien and Marinette shortly after they'd began dating with their arms intertwined around each other and a loving yet way too long lasting kiss.
Alya smiled when she caught sight of her and Nino running a group together; with her photography and his other digital skills, they'd opened up a group about a year or two ago, and had goofed off making silly videos and just hanging out.
Admittingly, it had been rather stressful, and they'd fought more than they'd hopefully let on; they were going to be there for each other through every up and down. Nino was just the sort to start and never give up on something that he loved.
She smiled when she looked up at a picture of Nino DJing the first school dance of this year that Alya couldn't resist having to take the day of that dance.
The future journalist did not at all mind that her boyfriend wasn't dancing with her or at least not very much; he loved being a DJ, and the fact that the school gave him a paying gig doing so had made his day.
The song that he'd played in that moment was on the speakers now, and all that Alya could see in her mind was that school dance as disastrous as it was for Adrien and Marinette as the two other then being super nervous the whole night had to rush out early and ended up in trouble for fleeing a school dance.
Alya bit back her laugh as she smiled up at the slideshow, seeing pictures of Rose and Juleka hanging out though there always seemed to be more to their friendship than met the eye and saw a picture of Chloe and Kim at the dance when finally, she'd accepted his interest, probably to mostly try to move on from Adrien since her childhood best friend had already had a girlfriend by that point.
She smiled as the credits rolled after a picture of Alix on her skates from this past year came on screen.
Alya turned towards her boyfriend, looping their fingers together, "I love you."
Nino smiled, "I love you too."
She snuggled up next to her boyfriend and knew that one day they'd probably have more than a few pictures of just the two of them and wherever their future leads.
Alya figured that right now this was more than enough as the whole school stood up to clap loudly for all of the work that her boyfriend had done and knew that there would be a ton of compliments and congratulations towards her boyfriend after they finally walked to get their diplomas.
Her boyfriend had worked so hard for today to be perfect and certainly deserved all of the appreciation directed his way though they'd be leaving with just these memories and who they had contact information to today. Their graduation had both came too fast and not soon enough.
