Chapter 2 - All an Accident

you may notice I reference cat noir as cat instead of chat; please do not hold it against me 

TW: some blood and violence depictions

The number one rule was to never know each other's identities. That was always the rule. Until Cat Noir chose to follow Ladybug after patrol. 

Ten minutes before...

"Why can't we know each other's secret identities? We've defeated Shadowmoth already (after the events of Heroes Day Episodes)!" Cat Noir asked for the 20th time that week. 

"I'm sorry Kitty, but if someone got a hold of the Butterfly miraculous and akumatised one of us, it would be game over," Ladybug explained, sick of Cat asking. "Just wait, eventually we will tell each other, I promise," Ladybug told him. He huffed, knowing he would eventually get his answer.

"Alright. See you tomorrow?" He said, suddenly feeling tired. 

"Wow, is that the time already?" Ladybug exclaimed. "I have to go, bug out!" She then proceeded to swing away. Cat Noir sat there, wondering what to do. In an act of stupidity and rationality, he followed her.  He watched as she swung down onto... Marinette's balcony?

"Spots off!" Ladybug yelled. In a flash of pink light, her suit faded away to reveal her true identity. 

"M-Marinette? Ladybug is Marinette?" Cat Noir stuttered. He couldn't get his thoughts together as he went home.

-----------------------------------------

The next couple of days at school...

Adrien still couldn't get the thought of Marinette being Ladybug out of his head. Marinette was always clumsy, but kind. How hadn't he put the pieces together before?

"OMG Marinette! How could you do that?" A shout shook him from his thoughts. It was Alya, storming over to Marinette, who was talking to Chloe, arm raised. She slapped Marinette as hard as she could, putting enough force behind it to knock her to the ground. 

"W-what did I-I do?" Marinette whimpered through tears. 

"Stop it with the fake crying already!" Alya yelled, kicking her in the stomach. Marinette screamed, clutching her stomach. "You hurt Lila! Look at her bruises!" 

"Alya, don't hurt Marinette!" Chloe yelled. "She's been with me the whole time." 

"A likely story!" Alya scoffed. 

"ALYA, LILA ENOUGH!" Adrien yelled, his inner Cat Noir coming out as he watched the scene in horror. 

"Adrien, what are you doing?" Lila asked innocently, little tears rolling down her cheeks, rubbing off the "bruise" around her eye. 

"Stopping this once and for all. Alya, look at Lila. Look at the bruise around her eye. Notice how it's got a streak mark from the tears? It's fake." He explained.

"Fake? What do you mean fake?" Alya asked, confused.

"Fake, not genuine; imitation or counterfeit," Max explained from the back of the room.

"Exactly. Lila, I have proof, proof of your lies." Adrien said, a smug look on his face.

"Adrien, can I talk to you for a minute?" Lila asked, an ugly look of hatred on her face.

"No, I'm going with Chloe to take Marinette to the nurse's office. Right, Chloe?" He told her coldly before looking at Chloe.

"Uh, yes, right," Chloe said as she helped Marinette onto her feet. They helped Marinette out of the classroom, Lila and Alya hot on their heels. 

"WAIT!" Alya yelled as they got to the stairs. "Lila, you had something to say to Marinette, right?"

"Yes, that's right," Lila said as she sashayed over to Marinette.

"What is it, Lila?" Marinette asked weakly.

"Have a nice..." Lila started before she shoved Marinette hard, "TRIP!" She cackled as Marinette tumbled down the stairs. Marinette screamed as she crumpled into a heap at the bottom of the stairs, blood trickling from her body.

"LILA ROSSI! ALYA CESAIRE! IN MY OFFICE, NOW!" Mr Damocles boomed. Little did they know, he had seen the whole thing.

---------------------------------------------------

An ambulance was called to help Marinette. She ended up with a broken arm and some internal bleeding. 

Lila was expelled, as well as Alya. Everyone watched as Lila's mother dragged her by the ear yelling all about her lies.

---------------------------------------------------

In the hospital with Mari...

Adrien sat by Marinette as they chatted. Adrien has thought about it for a while, and he finally decided to bring it up. 

"Marinette, I know you're Ladybug." He told her. Her bluebell eyes widened.

'W-what a-are you talking a-about?" She stuttered, nervous because he knew.

"I saw you detransform, M'lady." He said, adding in his nickname for her.

"C-cat Noir?" She whispered.

"Yes M'Lady. It's me."

AAAAAAAAAND that's the end of the story.
