"I'm ladybug."

He already knew this but he still had a shocked look on his face.
"Marinette, really?" He put his hands on her waist.
"Yeah... you can come out Tikki!" She flew out and looked at Marinette with a concerned look on her face.
"Marinette, I'll tell you my identity." She looked at him at widened her eyes.

"Plagg claws in!" She looked up to see the Adrien Agreste. She stepped back.

"You.. lied? You knew I was ladybug. And you still kept quiet to me?" She put her hand to her mouth, voice shivering. A purple akuma flew in.

Adriens POV

No! Not again! I saw the butterfly flutter past and I couldn't control myself.
"PLAGG, CLAWS OUT"
"CATACLYSM!" I grabbed the butterfly but it didn't work. The akuma entered marinette's diary she was holding.
A purple sea washed over her as she got akumatized. It was ladybug but her colours were reversed.
"LADYBUG! PLEASE YOU CAN'T DO THIS PLEASE!?" I screamed, I couldn't stand seeing her in this state. She walked over tears in her eyes. Her lips collided with mine, there wasn't any love just sadness. She slipped the ring off of my finger. I didn't resist, I gave up, on me... her... us.

"ADRIEN IM HUNGRY." I woke up in a cold sweat. I looked over to see plagg pointing to his cheese cupboard. I hung off my bed, looking at the emptiness of the hollow space. I stepped out of bed and checked what day it was. It was saturday and I'm glad since i cant stand another day of seeing Chloe. I go down stairs and get to the kitchen. I collected the Camembert and walked back to my room.

3rd person

Gabriel stopped Adrien from going up to his room.
"Adrien. Wait a second." He grabbed his shoulders and pulled Adrien for an embrace. Adrien didn't know how to respond to the hug. He pushed him off
"Your too late father, too late." He faced his door and entered.
He put his back to the door and curled up in a ball.
"Hey, kid? Are you ok?" Plagg circled Adrien to finally land on his shoulder. Tears rolled down his cheeks. His eyes were puffy from crying and his clothes were stained in tears.
"I just want my dad back. If my mother didn't die, he would love me. I wish I died instead." Plagg flew into his vision and started shouting about how amazing he is.

"I'm sick of the photoshoots! Sick of the popularity! Sick of being his little puppet! I just want to be myself!?" He got up and threw the cheese to one side.
"Plagg, claws on." He vaulted out the window and went to the park right near marinette's bakery. He sits down on the bench and puts his head in his knees.
"Chat? What's wrong," he looked up and saw marinette Infront of him.
"I.. can't do this anymore." He got up and held out his hands. Marinette took them as she looked into his eyes.
"My personal life, it's getting so unbearable." He started to cry, them tears being absorbed by Marinettes jacket.
"Kitty... you are one of the best things in my life. If I lost you, I wouldn't recover." She placed her hands on his cheeks. They placed their foreheads together until a reporter pushed next to them and snapped some photos.
"IS CHAT NOIR HAVING A ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP WITH A CIVILIAN?" She pointed a camera at them and Marinette started to go a bright red colour.
"Kitty! I'm so sorry! I didn't mean for us to get found ou-" he stopped her apology with a kiss. The reporter basically squealed as she took millions of pictures in every angle. She soon relaxed into the kiss, letting chat rest his hands on her waist. The reporter escaped in a van to go report this to the news office as the pair release mouths.
"I'm always here kitty. Always." She rested her head on his chest.
"I have to go princess but I'll see you later... babe." He winked and vaulted out of the park.
She felt her temperature rise as her body froze in place.
"Babe... babe... babe... HE CALLED ME WHAT!?" She stumbled back to her room and was feeling her face as she flipped on her bed. She flicked her legs as she squealed.
"Marinette! This is bad! You don't even know who he is and now everyone knows your 'dating' chat noir!?" Tikki moaned as marinette was jumping around her room. She soon got very tired and fell asleep very quickly.

"WHAT. IN. THE. CROISSANT?!"
"Tom! Calm down, she's going to get a boyfriend sooner or later!"
"BUT SHE DOESNT KNOW WHO HE EVEN IS!? COME ON SABINE! IT MAY BE A CRIMINAL!?"
"Now why would a criminal save Paris, multiple times?" She heard shouting and giggling from down stairs.
"Breaking news! Chat noir has a girlfriend! And it's not ladybug! Just a normal Parisian with a normal life." Marinette groaned
"Now that's a stretch Nadja." She got up and went downstairs to the bakery.
"MARINETTE, YOU KISSED A STRAY CAT?!"
"There is an actual person behind that mask you know Tom!" Sabine kissed marinette on the cheek and handed her a croissant.
"How did you sleep honey?"
"How'd you know I slept?"
"You snore remember Marinette!" She giggled with her daughter and asked her lots of questions, mostly from Tom, and listened to every answer carefully.

Marinette's POV

Why are they asking me so many questions!? It was just a kiss! I really hope he's doing ok... I need that silly alley cat. And I hope he needs me. I love him. I really do.
