Our Little Secret

Chapter One | M'Lady!??

"Well, M'Lady, I'd say that today was as purr-fect as usual. I'm even happier that you decided to take meowt for lunch today." He smirks, his shoulder leans up against hers as they huddle under the shade of the single umbrella above them.

"Yeah, it's always a blast when we're together Chat, even if your jokes are more abundant these days." She jokes, poking his nose.

"Sorry, Bugaboo. I'm just brushing up on my puns. I feel like I need to think of some new ones. You know, put my thinking cat on." He smirks, raising and dropping his eyebrows at her.

"Okay, that's enough. One more pun out of you today and I'll take away your tuna privileges." She chuckles, her hand over her mouth.

"That's fine, I was always more of a grilled cheese kind of cat." He shrugs.

The sound of beeping suddenly stopped everything that they were doing, and everything that they were talking about.

"Sorry kitty, I have to go. I'm about to change back." She tells him.

"I know, I just don't like having to disappear all the time. I don't like when you leave, either. I wish we could just tell each other our identities." He sighs.

"I know, me too. But, duty calls. And when it does, you have to answer. I hope you understand." She began to swing her yo-yo, in an attempt to flee the scene in a hurry.

"I understand, Ladybug." He responds sadly, his ears drop as he stands alone with the umbrella.

"Oh, Chat?" She asks him.

"Yes, M'Lady?" When he looks back up to her, his face is met closely with hers. She gives him a reassuring smile, and a tight, warm hug to follow. "I forgot my umbrella."

"Oh, right. Sorry."

"Don't be, I'll catch you later!" With that, she zoomed into the distance. And Chat Noir ran into an alley to change back as well.

"Plagg, claws in."

"Whew, glad that's done and done! Now that you've got some free time, I'd like some Camembert, or maybe some more Brie!" He giggles softly to himself. "That one was yummmyyy." His arms rub his stomach as he starts to fly away.

He turns to see Adrien staring in the direction that Ladybug vanished.

"Hello? Earth to Adrien! I'm only getting hungrier, and you owe me cheese!" He pouts.

"I just wanna know who the girl under the mask is." He says just loud enough where Plagg can hear.

"Not this conversation again! Ladybug is Ladybug, and Chat Noir is Chat Noir! It doesn't matter who the girl under the mask is, 'cause you can't know each other's identities anyways. There's plenty of cheese in the world, why only stick to one?"

"You wouldn't get it. It's about more than cheese, Plagg. If we knew each other's identities, we wouldn't ever have to be apart. I always wanna be by her side." His light green eyes observe the sky as he speaks.

"There's nothing we can do about it, Adrien. The best thing that we can do is move on. At least do it for me? I feel weak." He exaggerates. His body falls lightly from the air, like a piece of paper. And, Adrien instinctively reaches out to catch him in his hands.

"Fine, let's go." Adrien rolls his eyes and lets Plagg go into his book bag.

"Finally! I feel like I haven't eaten in weeks!"

"Tikki, spots off." Marinette closes her eyes and her head tilts to the ground. When the outfit is off, Marinette leans against the wall.
