Cat Noir/Adrian- 

   I stared at her amazingly innocent dark blue eyes, I could see myself reflecting in them. They Sparkled like little diamonds in the night sky. Only if she knew how much I was in love with her, if it wasn't because of the masks and the caution of not letting anyone know who we were I would have already told her who I was. We were both on the top of The Eiffel Tower like we were every time we had to finish a nightly fight. Thankfully there were hanging pots with tons of different kinds of flowers. I picked up a pink rose, her favorite. I know it was too late to make any jokes to her, she was leaning on the rail to The Eiffel Tower. She looked like she was thinking about something important; very concentrated. “What are you thinking about?” I asked. She jumped when she heard me but when she saw me she relaxed more. “Hey, how do you focus on everything that's going on in your life while being a superhero?” her eyes darted back and forth looking for an answer. I thought for a minute. “I just let everything go when i'm a superhero, because isn't that what we're supposed to do not let anyone know who we are?” I tried to sound more confident than I felt. Ladybug had gotten her answer. She looked more relieved, more happy. I still had the pink rose in my hand. I bowed to give it to her saying “here you go m’lady.” She wasn't surprised, given it was her third rose this week. But she did something that got me a bit surprised, instead of holding the flower and swinging off she hugged me. “Was this a new ladybug?” I asked myself. “Thank you” she said, holding onto the rose tightly. “You know my heart is for someone else though right?” Ladybug asked. There she was. Ladybug was her normal self again. “Yea, ok I guess we'll see about that, who do you like?” I asked, wanting to know. Ladybug looked like she didnt wanna tell me.

 “Please just give me details?” i said , hoping that i have convinced her. She started “Well he has the greenest eyes you'd ever seen, and his hair is blonde just like his mothers-” I had to cut her off to make a joke. “So you are into blondes” I said with a smile. She rolled her eyes in response “He is super sweet, he puts everyone first. He likes fencing-'' She saw my face when she had stopped. “Could she be in love with me well technically Adrian?” I questioned in my head. “What's wrong”? She asked “Do you think you could forget about him?” I asked. She shook her head in response. “How could I, his face is all over town.” she answered with a sigh. “Well I'll always be here for you.” I said as I used my baton to fly up. “Who has blonde hair and green eyes and does fencing?” I asked myself. What if it was me? No. it couldn't be, could it? What if it was? What if she couldn't love Cat Noir because she was in love with Adrain Agrest, but that would only mean he would have to tell her he was Cat Noir. He is me though, I couldn't just tell her. Plus what if i'm wrong i'll have to wait for an important emergency when I could show myself to her without her thinking I was doing it on purpose. I pulled myself up to the window of my bedroom. It was around 11:00 o’clock, I was tireder than I had been for a very long time. Since Alya Césaire was lady wifi again she made the day more tiring. Someone should've given her a  Miraculous. She'd be good at it. I layed back on my bed, Plagg was right beside me on my pillow eating his disgusting cheese. I couldn't help but wonder who Ladybug could really be. I thought about all the times any girl in my class would have made me suspicious. Cloe already told herself out that she was queen bee, and she isn't the greatest person like Ladybug. Sabrina is too shy and that'd be too obvious. Ladybug and I defeated Alix, so it couldn't be her. Ugh. There were so many girls who've been akumatized at my school. I heard a yawn come from plagg. “Yea it is getting late, goodnight.” within moments I knew I was asleep.

Marinette/Ladybug

  I woke up to my phone ringing. It was Ayla.  “Hello?” I asked tiredly through the phone. “Marinette you gotta get to school now!” Alay playfully yelled. I checked the date. “Wait. why it's Saturday?” i asked more awake now. “Yea i know me and Nino are gonna go to the fair today and we wanted to bring you and Adrian?” Ayla said. “So that was their plan to get me and Adrian together by tossing rings on cans and riding on cringely named rides.” I told myself “Ok i'll be there in five minutes.” I yawned and hung up the phone. Since there wasn't school today I went to my closest found a long sleeve white shirt with red and black colored hearts on it. I grabbed my high waisted red shorts and a matching red side bag with a black bow on its front. Since I knew I was gonna be around Adrian I put my high grey locky socks on and they had black hearts on the top of them-easily noticed. I put on a heart necklace to fit the look. I didn't know what pairs of shoes to wear so I just wore my black booties that went just a bit past my ankle. “Your friends are going to be waiting for you.” Tikkie said with her soft warming voice. I quickly put tikkie in my bag then ran out the door. I was right on time, Ayla and nino were holding hands while Adrian looked deep in thought. “Marinette, you made it!” Adrian's face lit up when he saw me. “Well then let's go, I already got your ticket Marinette.” Ayla said, handing me my ticket. Adrian was walking right beside me, It was meant to be. I daydreamed in my head. “Marinette I realize you're not wearing your usual, It looks nice specially the polka dots.” Adrain said, smiling. “Oh...uhh you think?” I stammered out. “Yea red really brings out your eyes.” he said looking me up and down for some reason. “Uhh… well thank you I-” I tried finishing but I tripped on a rock. I put my hand on my head to gain balance. While he held out his hand to me I saw Chloe out of the corner of my eye, weather than pushing him away from me I accidentally pulled him onto me. But why did this feel like it's happened more than just once? Him falling on me. He did a quick shy/ embarrassed face- that felt normal. I didn't freak out. I didn't even blush when his face was less than an inch away. I was just holding my breath.
