04 | Nope, Not Today

Marinette's POV

Well, that was definitely beyond weird. Why? Does Adrien think I'm Ladybug? No, why would he think that? Am I making it obvious? Did he finally figure it out? I jumped as I heard a loud noise in my room. It's probably just mom in my room. I walked down and saw Adrien underneath my desktop table. The loud noise was Adrien hitting his head. But why was the under there? I thought he left?

Adrien's POV

Oh no. She saw me. Trouble. But, man does my head hurt. That table is hard, I'm so clumsy. "Um, hey Marinette. I thought I saw a bug and went after it. My head hurts and I think the bug got away. So I'm gonna go home now for real this time. Bye," well that was weird. But I can't go home without Plagg. Where seriously could he be?

Marinette's POV

Adrien is so clumsy. Wait. Did he just say he thought he saw a bug?!? That was probably Tikki. I hope she stayed hidden. Adrien would probably freak out if he saw her.

"Yea, sure. Bye Adrien."

And with that, he crawled out from under the table. And left.

"TIKKI!! Where are you?"

Sigh* Tikki, please be here.

Tikki's POV

That's was close. Adrien almost saw us. I heard Marienette frantically screaming my name.

Whisper* "Quick, Plagg go follow Adrien out. I'll deal with Marienette"

"Ok. Remember, we have to keep it a secret."

I flew out from under her bed and saw her searching underneath the desktop.

"Marienette it's ok. I'm right here."

"Oh thank goodness Tikki. I thought Adrien might have seen you," Marinette said.

"No. I'm fine I hid when he first came through your room."

"Oh good. So he didn't see you. Wait so that means it was an actual bug!" Marinette jumped and stood up on her bed.

"Marinette it's fine. He didn't actually see a bug," I said to reassure her.

"How would you know?!? Did you see the bug?"

Whoops. She can't know why he was actually under there.

"No, he just thought he saw one. Relax. I would know if there was a bug, so why did Adrien come over?"

"He thinks that I'm Ladybug, but why? I don't remember telling him."

"Maybe ever since that night you guys both said you liked each other, he's been obsessed with finding who the actual Ladybug is. He probably went to see and ask all the girls in your grade. I mean he knows Ladybug is in his grade."

"Ugh. There are pros and cons to having a Ladyblog about you. I can't believe, I was in such a rush I dropped my history book."

Adrien's POV

"Plagg," I said in a low whisper. Where could he be?

"Relax Adrien. I'm right behind you."

I turned around and saw Plagg, at least he was ok.

"Quick Plagg Get in my pocket, where were you. Did you not hear me saying your name?"

"I was just so caught up looking in Marinette's room."

"Oh, yea. Did you find anything?" I asked hoping, all that embarrassment wasn't for nothing.

"Nope, nothing," he said, plain and straight.

"Maybe I can talk to her as Chat. Or talk to Ladybug."

Plagg's POV

Hehe. Adrien doesn't know. While he was up talking to Marinette, I was talking to Tikki. I can't believe that Ladybug has been in front of Adrien this whole time. If I knew I would have told him a long time ago, to save my self from him talking about how much he loves Ladybug. But Tikki doesn't want them knowing their true identities. Tomorrow is gonna be interesting.
