I probably haven't slept this well in awhile, knowing Chat was back, and for good too gave me such comfort.
"Remind me what day it is again, Tikki?" I groaned, getting out of bed.
"It's only Tuesday." She giggled in response.
"Only?" Sighing.
"At least you now know who Chat Noir is, that should give you some motivation to get to school." Tikki winked at me, causing me to blush.
"Oh shush, besides, you do have a very good point, but he doesn't know who I am." Flopping back down on my bed.
"Hurry up before you're late, I mean you're always late but you don't want to be later than usual!" Tikki explained.
Adrien's POV:
It's gotta be Marinette. Ladybug HAS to be Marinette. How else would she have known about the Croissants? Butterflies began to build in my stomach. I couldn't even eat breakfast, I was too nervous.
"Adrien, relax! She's not going anywhere. Eat. I can give you some of my delicious Camembert if you want." Plagg offered.
"I don't want your disgusting, smelly cheese, Plagg." Scrunching my nose up at his treat.
"Hey! That's no way to talk to something so beautiful." He acted offended.
"Whatever." I flatly replied.
"It's time to leave, Adrien." Nathalie stood in the doorway.
"Right behind you." Quickly getting up to grab my bag.
Upon arrival at the school, my heart lurched seeing Marinette and Alya in a conversation at the top of the stairwell. Her deep blue eyes caught mine, lighting up in the most prettiest way.
"Hey Adrien!" She called out for me, waving.
"Hey Mari, Alya." I waved back, approaching them.
"How are you feeling?" Marinette asked.
"So much better." Though, I'm sure she already knew that.
"That's good." Her smile warmed my heart.
"Wrap it up lovebirds," Alya interrupted "School is close to starting." Turning on her heels and entering the school grounds.
"Mari, wait. I have to ask you something." She turned to look at me.
"What's up, Adrien?"
"I need to talk to you at lunch." Trying to make it seem as serious as possible.
"Sure, talk then, okay?" Before turning around to follow Alya into the building. It was agony waiting for the bell that signaled lunch to ring, I was too nervous. But finally, it came.
Marinette's POV:
"So what did Adrien ask you about?" Alya nudged me.
"He said he wants to talk to me at lunch, I'm not sure what about though." I replied.
"You better give me all the details afterwards." Alya gripped my arm and shook me violently. As class dragged on I wondered what he could possibly want to talk to me about. Maybe he's figured out I'm ladybug? I wouldn't be too surprised. Doesn't stop me from feeling extremely anxious. I watched the hands on the clock tick by, second after second as the minutes went by. God could time move anymore slowly?
I felt relieved when the bell for lunch rang. I could tell Adrien was waiting for me to go up to him.
"Hello... M'lady." A smirk played on his face.
"So, you figured it out, hm?" Smiling up at the blonde.
"You didn't really make it that hard, it was quite simple. I probably would've been lost until you told me to enjoy the Croissants. That's what tipped you off." He explained.
"I should've kept quiet, my bad." Quietly giggling.
"So you're not disappointed that it's me?" Adrien asked.
"What? There's no one else I'd rather have as Chat." Bringing my hand to rest on his face.
"You make a pretty awesome Ladybug yourself." He replied.
"I know." Winking at him as I walked away, knowing he was just behind me.

The sky carried a feverish tone as the sun set, creating a radiant haze in its slumber. Blowing softly against my face, the wind diminished the small amount of heat I was consuming from the falling sun.
"Good evening Princess." I twirled around to see his vibrant green cat-like eyes staring at me.
"Hey, Kitty. What brings you here?" I questioned.
"I missed the freedom." Resting his hands against the railings, gazing out over the painted sky.
"I still can't believe this whole time Chat Noir was right under my nose." I scoffed at the irony.
"I can't believe the girl I'm in love with I friend zoned on multiple accounts." He remarked.
"I think we're both very guilty with that." I assured him.
"But now that we know our identities," Chat moved closer to me, scooping my hands in his, "surely I'm allowed to kiss you." A smirk played on his face.
"I might just allow it." Leaning my face closer to his letting our lips find each other.
Right here in this moment, our worlds finally collided, we were one of the same. It felt right, our lips molded together as we both savored this moment. Even though it was a short but yet meaningful kiss, nothing could compare to the love we shared for each other.
"Kitty, if you ever, ever, leave like that again. I will string you up by your tail and leave you to fend for yourself." I remarked.
"That sounds like a bit of a 'catastrophe'," Chat observed, his pun not going unnoticed. "I'm not going anywhere, little bug. Cat's honor."
"Good." I concord. My head fell on his shoulder as we watched the sun fade from view, the twinkle of the stars standing out in the rising dark sky. We both knew our problems were far from over, but all that mattered in this moment was us, we made it.
Someone's POV:
"It's all going to plan, sir. Ladybug has led us right to Chat Noir. Now we know he's none other than Adrien Agreste, things should plan out very easily." Hoping to get approval from him.
"Good... Now all is left is the Miraculous to be mine. We know who Chat Noir is, now all we have to do is find out who Ladybug is. Can you do that?" He asked.
"Yes, Hawkmoth." I watched as the one I worked for drove away.
I glared at a picture of Ladybug,
"You think you're so clever, but because of you, you and your little boyfriend will be exposed. And you won't be strong enough to defeat us." I sneered, scrunching up the paper and tossing it straight into the trash.
"You'll soon meet your worst nightmare."

(A/N)
Yeah I know this chapter is pretty short, I struggled a lot. I'm more invested in my other story at the moment and giving myself a writers block for this one. I still want to continue it and I will, updates will be slower from now on and will take longer for me to write them, but I aim to finish this book.
Have a good morning / night everyone :D
