“I’m Chat Noir.”

Ladybug froze and Adrien nervously rubbed his neck. He could see millions of thoughts spiraling through her head, but had no idea whether they were good thoughts or not. Ladybug slowly raised her eyes to the top of his head then even more slowly traced down from his hair, to his face, to his hand.

He knew then that she had seen his miraculous, there was no way she hadn’t. Ladybug gasped and Adrien tensed, expecting the worst. What happened next however, shocked him.

Ladybug started crying .

After a few seconds of feeling his heart absolutely shatter , words poured out of Adrien’s mouth with no slowing down, “Oh my god you hate me don’t you? Of course you do oh my gosh was I mean to you as a civilian wa-” he was cut off by Ladybug throwing her arms around him in a hug, almost knocking him over.

Ladybug laughed and pulled back from the boy to look at him again before reaching out to cup his cheek, “Oh chaton these aren’t bad tears, these are happy tears! I know I am going to forget this, but there is something I feel I need to stay to stop breaking your heart every time I reject you” Ladybug spoke softer, gazing at Adrien with an expression he had never seen before. She looked at him with pure joy, and, if he wasn’t so completely sure it wasn’t the case, he might even believe she was looking at him with love.

“Come with me kitty let’s sit down first.” Ladybug said as she directed him towards a dry spot against the wall. The pair sat down and Ladybug took a deep breath before meeting her partner’s curious gaze. Ladybug took a deep breath before beginning.

“I am going to tell you of the boy I am in love with,” Ladybug said with a shy smile. Adrien looked at her incredulously, how could talking of that not break his heart?

“You’ll understand once I begin,” she replied with a small laugh as Adrien realized he had accidentally spoken out loud. “The boy I am in love with has many things to love about him. Obviously him being extremely handsome with his perfectly styled blonde hair and his bright green eyes doesn’t hurt,” Adrien mouth slightly opened realizing he had those features, but he didn’t want to get his hopes up yet.

“The reason I am in love with him however, is his kindness and light. He is always kind to me at school even when I am a complete wreck. He is patient and works hard to correct his wrongs. Even though he could be stuck up from his fame, he doesn't let it get to him. He can be a complete dork at times and it is absolutely perfect.” Ladybug paused for a moment.

Adrien watched her slowly meet his questioning gaze and noticed the blush spreading over her cheeks. It had to be him… didn’t it?

“Recently however, somebody else has been catching up in the race for my heart”

Adrien’s heart plummeted. Of course she no longer liked him. Just his luc- “He’s been trying to win over my heart since the day I fell on him and has quite nearly succeeded. He is kind hearted, always tries to help others, and is the most amazing partner I could ask for.” His heartbeat quickened again, had she moved on from him… to him? There’s no way…

“Then today I realized they were the same person, they were you. Always you.” Ladybug smiled at Adrien hopefully. He stared at her in complete wonderment, knowing he had managed to win over her heart not once, but twice.

“May I kiss you m’lady? If not that’s ok, you’ll probably say no since you will forget anyw-” Adrien’s words were cut off by Ladybug’s lips being pressed against his own. Adrien felt warmth shoot through his body. Her lips were soft and tasted faintly of chocolate and strawberry. He had no idea how long they stayed like that, arms wrapped around each other, lips connected in their first true kiss.

All too soon, Ladybug pulled away. Her face was almost as red as her suit and she had a dazed smile on her face that he would sell everything he had just to see one more time. The realization suddenly hit him, he had kissed ladybug . She had started the kiss because she loved him too.

But there was an issue… “I don’t want you to have to forget this m’lady…” Adrien said softly, looking down at his lap.

“Then remind me mon chaton .” Ladybug said with a determined expression, “I want you to find me, I am closer than you think I am outside the mask.”

Adrien looked at her in shock, “You want me to find you? ” he questioned, “What about what Master Fu says-”

“I don’t care what he says we can tell him it was an accident and only tell him if absolutely necessary.” Ladybug cut him off, “If he wants to have to train a new Ladybug and Chat Noir that is on him, but these masks shouldn’t get in the way of our happiness,”

A loud beep startled Ladybug and Adrien, it had come from his bracelet. “One more minute m’lady,” Adrien looked at her sadly, “then you will forget.” Suddenly, Ladybug looked at him with something akin to fear in her eyes, “Promise me you will find me Adrien! You have to please, if you can’t within a week ask me. Just promise me you will tell me of all this-” she kept on rambling.

After glancing at the 45 seconds remaining, Adrien gave Ladybug a chaste kiss on the lips to quiet her down long enough for him to speak. He gently grabbed her hands and leaned his forehead against hers. “I promise m’lady, I will find you.” he leaned up and gently pressed a kiss to her forehead, “I love you.”

“I love you to kitty.” she replied. He gently dropped her hands before taking a step back to take her in one last time. He was going to do all he could to find her as quickly as possible. He owed it to both her and himself.

He slowly lifted his hand and slid the snake head back. Never breaking eye contact, Adrien muttered the now not quite as cursed phrase, “Second Chance.” before disappearing in a swirl of green.
