College Lovers

10: Reveals

It was late at night and almost everyone was sleeping. Only she couldn't. Adrien couldn't.

She looked outside the window and saw the pretty moon shining. She decided it would be a pretty good time to transform and patrol. Maybe Chat is out too.

She softly spoke to words to not wake nor Thomas nor Amber who were sleeping in her room. Her yo-yo beeped and saw she had a message from Chat.

"Come fast. You wouldn't believe it. Meet me at the Eiffel Tower when you get this."

Oh the Eiffel Tower. That was always the place where the met.

It was also a romantic place.

She threw her yo-yo and made her way to the Eiffel Tower and landed next to a startled Chat Noir.

"You scared me."

Ladybug smiled. "So what was the reason I had to come here?"

"Sincerely, I didn't even think you'd make it. Probably would've liked to sleep in."

They both chuckled. "I missed the night wind in my face. And I couldn't sleep."

Chat's face straightened. "My dad died today and his assistant gave me this." Chat handed Ladybug the little silver square box.

Ladybug opened and her eyes widened. "You're dad-"

Chat Noir sighed. "Yes, my dad was Hawk Moth."

"This is great news. Hawk Moth is no more!"

Chat raised a brow.

"Oh- oh yeah, and I'm sorry for your loss. But, who was your father?"

"If I say it, it would reveal my identy."

"You know Chat, I think we've waited long enough."

This was the moment Chat Noir waited his whole life for. The day he'd see who the love of this life would be.

"My father was Gabriel Agreste."

"Adrien?"

Chat Noir sighed. Ladybug had to think of a way to reveal her identy without actually revealing it because it was cold and her spandex suit had heaters in them.

"Well, my parents own the best bakery in all of Paris."

"Marinette?"

"Yep, that's me."

"Can I kiss you?"

Marinette hesitated. "I- I don't know, I'm not ready. Can you wait?" Ladybug had guilt in her eyes. She had to blow off Chat again.

"Uh yeah, it's- it's okay." Chat Noir smiled. They two of them just relaxed on the Eiffel Tower while looking at the moon. She loved these moments.

She missed these moments.

He on the other hand was freaking out. He loved both girls individually and now he had to learn that they were the same person.

Marinette woke up from loud bangs from downstairs. When she got down she saw her parents, Thomas and Amber setting the Christmas tree.

"Ah, sleeping beauty woke up."

"Shut up."

Amber walked towards her. "Alya left this for you." she gave Marinette a letter.

Marinette took the letter and read it. Then she just left leaving the letter on the floor.

Today?

She had to help today set the funeral?

They really couldn't wait longer.

She got to Alya's place where all her classmates were waiting for her.

"Marine-"

"Today Alya? Seriously? I came back to celebrate the holidays with family, but no, I have to help set the funeral."

"Yes I know but-"

"No buts. People have done it the same month they were supposed to have the funeral."

"Yeah, but you'll be in New York."

"I know Nino died, but think about other people. I think everyone here came back here to spend holidays with family. But instead they're getting dragged here to help you do the funeral. At least wait till Christmas is done or something." Marinette left, slamming the door.

She was irritated by everything.

She found out yesterday that she was fighting her inspiration. She went in an ally and transformed. She just wanted to be alone.

Adrien followed her and 4 seconds later he saw Ladybug swinging away.

He went after her.

_____

He landed next to Ladybug. She was just staring into nothing.

"Are you okay Marinette?"

She turned her head. "Did I ruin it for everybody?"

"What? No. Everyone agreed with you and left. Do you wanna be alone right now?"

Ladybug smiled and nodded. Chat understood and jumped away.

He wasn't gonna push her.

He understood how much Gabriel Agreste meant to her. And her knowing the truth, must've been devastated.

So he gave her space. Bcs that's what friends do.
