Moving On?

Now that you know...

*Updated 3/7/24*

Felix woke along with the sun. Today he'd see Marinette. So many thoughts filled his head with how She'd react to seeing him today. For all he knows, he's the first person that ever figured out her identity. Chat Noir definitely hadn't because if Adrien knew, then there's no way he wouldn't have asked her out yet.

Nothing would mess up his mood. Not even Adrien could manage to do that today. Speaking of Adrien, Felix decided not to say anything about knowing Ladybug's identity. Of course he wouldn't say who, but he could always use it to torture him. That would be fun, he thought.

That's when he remembered that he was now a miraculous holder. Looking at the bracelet, he put it on, and out came his Kwami. "Took you long enough, finally. It feels so good to stretch" Stealth said, going into a cat stretch. Felix walked around the kwami, studying him closely. "Whaaaaaat are you doing?" Stealth said in a weird way, trying to gain Felix's attention.

"How does this work?" Felix said, still looking at the floating creature in front of him. 

"You say the words, Stealth Activate, to put on the suit, and Stealth Deactivate to take it off. When you transform, you will get a suit to your hearts desire..." the kwami was saying. 

Felix burst out laughing, "you mean the suit is chosen by what we want, and Adrien has a bell on the front of his?!" he said, barely getting it out due to how much he was laughing. 

"... As I was saying. When you're transformed, you will get a communicator which will allow you to send messages and receive them from any miraculous holder. Let me know if you have any more questions".

Felix listened with amusement, realizing that the whole superhero thing was a bit different than he pictured. Felix opened his book bag which Stealth flew into right away. It was time for school, and time to see her.

...

Walking into the limo, Adrien was already seated, looking at his phone. When he noticed Felix walking in, he turned off his phone immediately. "Listen, you better not pull anything with Ladybug. She's just focused on saving Paris, and wont have time for your 'charms'' Adrien said, giving Felix the side eye.

"Relax, she's already fallen for my, how did you say, 'charms'" Felix smiled back, receiving an annoyed groan from Adrien. "Do you know Ladybug's identity?" Felix asked his cousin.

A new fear was unlocked within Adrien. "No, and don't even think of trying to figure it out" Adrien said sternly, no hint of sarcasm, or anything else. Pure concern for his partner. 

"Don't worry, I won't try" Felix said. And technically it's true, he didn't even have to try -it just kind of happened.

...

To distract herself from the conversation she was going to have with Felix, Marinette spent a bit more time getting ready than usual. Nothing too fancy, but she did curl her hair a bit, giving it more volume away from the face. And to further make herself not look so similar to Ladybug, just in case she needed to argue her case, she wore shoes with a not very noticeable heel so she'd be even clumsier than normal.

Distracted, Marinette didn't even realize that Tikki had snuck off to find Chat Noir's kwami. Sneaking into the limo, Tikki dragged Plagg into the glovebox, out of Adrien's shirt, to have a talk. 

"Plagg" Tikki said trying to get his full attention. 

"Hey you took me away from my Cheese!" he whined.

Usual Plagg, all he could think about was his food. "Listen, this is serious. You know Adrien's cousin? Well he figured out Ladybug's identity, and we have no idea how!". Now that got Plagg to shut up.
