Chapter 11 (Adrien POV)

I was jumping once again towards the Eiffel tower to brag about Marinette to Ladybug. I hope that this would impress her, yes I really did like Marinette. But she pretty much paled in comparison to Ladybug. I feel really guilty about using the nice girl so I can brag to Ladybug, but then again, no one would ever find out as long as I didn't say her identity. Marinette, though she was a great girl and I really liked her, was a sort of distraction. If I was feeling down, she seemed to be the only one that could cheer me up.

Getting back on topic, I arrived at the Eiffel Tower and sat daydreaming of Ladybug. I couldn't wait to see the jealous expression on her face when we exchanged love lives. I knew deep down she must have loved me, and she would never even act on this little crush she had. One day we could reveal our identities and fall in love all over again, and then move in together, get married. I was getting overexcited thinking about it so I calmed myself down and thought about the present instead.

Finally she was here, leaping through the city's buildings like a godess. I sighed and prepared myself to talk to her, "Stay cool Chat, stay cool."

"Hey Chat, man, you're always here first it seems," She laughed.

"Hey M'lady, I just like to come up here early to think, especially about that girl I've been interested in." I bragged slightly.

"Oh." She blushed and looked sort of disappointed and a tad jealous.

I started to brag about Marinette and how well things were going.

"I really like her, she's so cute and really nice." I went on.

Ladybug was really quiet throughout the conversation.

"And maybe I'll ask her out..." I was cut off by Ladybug

"I think I might ask him out. I really like him, and I think he likes me." She said quietly.

I stopped. I was shocked.

"W-what?" I said.

I never thought she would ever act on this, I thought she loved me. This whole time I had underestimated her, of course she was brave enough to act on her feelings, she was Ladybug.

"Wait Ladybug! Before you do this I need to tell you something!" I said shakily.

"What is it Chat?" She said.

"Ladybug, I love you and I always will love you, please don't do this to me. Will you please date me?" I plead desperately.

Ladybug seemed to have a lot of conflict going through her mind in that moment, like she seriously considered dropping that other guy for me.

"I'm incredibly sorry Chaton, but I really like him, we're just friends though. I love you but not like that. I'm terribly sorry. I hope you can forgive me." She said, tears welling in her eyes.

All of a sudden a rage filled within me, and I remembered all the times I had been casually rejected and sacrificed by her, and realized my love had been masking all of this. So I released everything I had pushed aside for months.

I just ran screaming.

Man, this one was pretty short. Sorry, this is all my frivalous mind could churn out of a chapter. Anyways, continue reading. Tomorrow's chapter hopefully will be longer and I hope it will also be better than this horrible thing, whatever it is. TBH tomorrow's chapter will probably be terrible. Why am I apoligizing to imaginary people.

Anyways, have fun reading this garbage. -May
