M:TOLBACN(Miraculous: tales of ladybug and chat noir) identities reveled

Chapter 5

"Nino, have you seen Adrien today?" Alya asked her boyfriend, leaning over the table to see him better.

The boy shook his head, "What about Marinette?"

Alya shook her head, "Marinette said she was sick, so she won't be here today." That's when the teacher called all of their attentions' to the front.

"Today, we have a special treat. Our city heroes Ladybug and Chat Noir will be coming in for a special interview with the class!" the teacher explained. The door opened then as the two heroes walked in, smiling and waving. "Thank you for meeting our class today, sadly two students couldn't be here today."

"Oh, it's our pleasure," Ladybug said with a smile. "And maybe someone could record this so those two can see it later?" she suggested. Alya was the first to pull out her phone, promising to show it to Marinette and Adrien as soon as she saw them. "Splendid! Then we should start?"

"Yes, yes, I won't take up anymore of your time!" The teacher slunk to the back, taking a seat in her chair.

Chat turned to the class with a smirk, "So, who has questions about us?" he asked, leaning his weight to one leg. He snickered at the reactions, loving the attention.

One kid raised their hand, so Chat called on him. "How do you guys' powers work?" he asked.

"Ah, we both have magic kwami that not only transform us, but give us our powers," Ladybug explained. "They get tired after a while, which is why we don't usually get to stick around for interviews." Kids ohhhed and ahhhhed at the explanation, which Chat giggled at.

Then, a girl raised her hand and waved it around enthusiastically, so Ladybug called on her. "Oh! Do you two know who each other are?" she asked.

Chat nodded, "We're the only ones that know each other's identity!" he said rather cheerily, almost singing the answer. Ladybug rolled her eyes, but nodded to reaffirm that the silly cat wasn't lying.

Alya raised her hand next, and Ladybug called on her. "Do you love Chat Noir?" she asked.

"Wh-what!" Ladybug stuttered. Chat Noir looked at her with a goofy grin, daring the girl to answer. "Well…it, um, it depends on the type of love you mean…You could mean as a brother, as my partner, or as in love…I can say I love Chat all day, but it would be impossible to know the type of love," Ladybug answered safely.

"What about you, Chat Noir?" Alya asked, unpleased by the girl's answer.

"I love My Lady!" he answered quickly and happily, leaning on Ladybug and smiling with all his teeth showing.

"It's complicated," Ladybug deadpanned, shoving his face away from her shoulder.

"So would you say you two are together?" another girl asked.

"No!" Ladybug answered quickly. "I could never; Chat's too annoying, trust me!"

"I'm hurt, Bugaboo!" Chat said dramatically, giggling with the dramatic coos of the class.

"Alright, alright, enough about their relationship!" Kim said in frustration. "How much of a cat are you really, Chat Noir?"

Chat's ears perked up and he turned to Ladybug, his tail flicking in excitement. Ladybug giggled and pet the top of his head as a quite loud purr emitted from the back of Chat's throat. He let his jaw drop open and the noise grew louder, which is when Ladybug splashed him with water from a bottle on the teacher's desk.

"Nyeh!" he screeched, jumping away. "You weren't supposed to do that!" he whined, shaking out his hair.

"He's very catlike," Ladybug explained through her laughter. "Sometimes a little too catlike…"

There were many other questions, though they eventually faded into constant details of Ladybug and Chat's relationship, everything from do you hang out when you're not heroes? to have you ever made out with each other? which is when the teacher decided to cut the students off. The teacher sent them on their ways and had to struggle to calm her class down.

Once outside of the school, Adrien and Marinette released their transformations and couldn't help but laugh. "I think they were more interested in our relationship than our powers…" Adrien said with a laugh.

"You mean our non-existent relationship, Kitty Cat?" Marinette teased, ruffling his hair. Adrien rolled his eyes, blushing slightly. "But at least none of them tried to play 20 Questions to guess who we are."

"Yeah, that wouldn't have been very good…"

The next morning Alya practically dragged Marinette down onto her seat. "Whoa, what are you so excited about?" she asked with a snicker.

"I can't believe you missed Ladybug and Chat Noir yesterday! It was so amazing!" Alya squealed. She pulled out her phone and started scrolled through short videos and photos. "They tried to say they weren't in a relationship, but just look at how they look at each other!"

Marinette struggled to contain her laughter at some of the pictures of Chat, considering that each of them were moments he was caught staring at her.

"Hey, ladies," Adrien greeted. He dropped his bag down on the table and looked over at what Alya was scrolling through. "Ladybug and Chat Noir?" he questioned.

"Ah, ah, ah," Alya began to correct, "LadyNoir!"

"Right, right…" Adrien said with an awkward laugh, looking at Marinette. The girl rolled her eyes and put her attention back on the photos Alya was trying to show her. Adrien saw one photo, however, that was just too bad. "What's going on there?" he asked, leaning over Marinette to see better. Sure enough, Alya had managed to capture Chat mid-pout with his lips pursed and eyes dilated as he stared at the back of Ladybug's head.

"Rose and I agree that Chat Noir was probably trying to kiss Ladybug, since someone had just asked if they'd ever kissed," Alya explained. "It was too good of an opportunity to miss! He probably thought no one noticed!"

And, boy was she right. Adrien was sure he'd been smooth enough to hide the face of disappointment when Marinette moved just out of his reach to complain about him having tuna breath – which he did NOT have, thank you!

"He's quite the dork, isn't he?" Marinette said with a giggle. Alya nodded, ready to completely agree.

"I don't know," Adrien started, "Maybe he's just trying to get Ladybug to notice him, and he doesn't know what to do so he compensates with flirting and possibly ridiculous actions, hoping at least for a smile."

Blank stares. Blinking.

"I-it's just a guess!"
