The girl behind the mask: miraculous story

A key, a flash back, and a visit

Marinette sighed as she landed on her balcony, looking for the key to unlock her trap door. She didn't know what to expect, but it wasn't that. She had flashbacks
Of that horrible day as she lay in her bed. She tried to hold the tears back but they just kept on coming. "Marinette, what's wrong? That went better than expected!" Tikki exclaimed. "I know Tikki. I just can't do it anymore! I love ChatNoir, and he loves me. It's a perfect ending. But, I want to tell him who I really am, I want him to love me for me! And we all know what happened last time I did that." She vented, sobbing into her pillow.

"Oh Marinette. I'm so sorry. I know this isn't the best position for you, but we can't have him akumatized again. The world would end for sure!"

"So there is nothing I can do?" Marinette asked still sobbing.

"I wish I could tell you otherwise." Tikki said, teary eyed.

"Goodnight Tikki." "Goodnight Marinette." And with that, they both fell asleep. On the other side of Paris, a certain Agreste was having the same problem.

"Plagg, I just don't know what to do! I have to tell Ladybug my identity, but every time I try to, she pushes my away! And I have no idea what to do about that Marinette girl. She's best friends with Chloé, my rival since first-grade. I have to warn her about how cruel and mean she is, but she won't even look at me!" Adrien said, knowing what his kwami would say, but not caring.

"You know what you can control? MY CHEESE! IM THE REAL DAMSEL IN DESTRESS HERE!" Plagg said, yelling at his holder. "Fine!" Adrien said, throwing him a piece of cheese. "Thats more like it." Plagg smuggly said.

"Wait, if she won't listen no me as Adrien, maybe she'll listen to me as ChatNoir!" "At least let me finish my cheese!"
"No time to loose! Plagg, claws out!" "Here we go againnnnnnn!" Plagg exclaimed sarcastically, dragging out the word.

Marinette was about to fall asleep, when she heard a sudden knock on her glass window above her bed.
"Who's there? Tikki, hide" She whispered as she opened the trap door. "Chat...Noir?" "Hey purrrincess, may I come in?"
"Of course! So what brings you here at..." she quickly checked the time on her phone. "3:24 am?!" "I'm just here to talk.
I've heard your best friends with Chloé, right?" He asked, adding slight confusion to his voice. "Yeah I am, so what? No, don't tell me you know that Adrien guy!" "I do, but just hear me out! He didn't tell me to say anything." "You have 1 minute. Go." She said sternly, signaling for him to start explaining. "Okay, um, so, she's a really mean person, just not a good person to be around! I just," he sighed "I don't want that for you." "Want that for me? What am I, your girlfriend?" She said trying to hold in a laugh. Oh I wish, I love you, and want nothing more. Wait, what am I thinking?! I'm loyal to ladybug. He thought. I wish i was your girlfriend, but it's just to hard mon chatton. Marinette thought.
