Guys. I know that the picture above is of Marinette's balcony and all but let's just pretend it's the Eiffel Tower, okay? Okay.

Marinette and I sat at the Eiffel Tower for a long time. Before we knew It, it was already sunset. I had coughed a little, signaling that maybe we should leave at some point but she didn't even acknowledge it.

"Marinette, I think we should leave before it gets dark." I said.

"Just another minute Chat. This is beautiful." She mumbled under her breath.

I nodded and looked out over Paris with her.

I suddenly felt the urge to confess my feelings. I know it's a bit too early and I just decided but I think I should be honest with her. After all, she told me who she likes.

"Marinette," I began. "Well, since I know who you like, I think you should know who I like." I stated.

"That'd be Ladybug. I already know with the way you look at her and smile at her and protect her and push her out of harm's way. Chat, I know." She said.

Well, this is awkward.

"Actually... It's you..." I mumbled.

I looked her in the eyes and seemed shocked. Tears began swelling in the edges of her eyes but nothing had begun pouring yet.

"B-but I'm just Marinette! I mean, how can a superhero, a person who protects and takes shots for his people, like a civilian like me? Not to mention, I'm just Marinette..." She said rubbing on her shoulders.

"Marinette. You're not just Marinette! You're way more than that. You're kind, generous, loving, caring, humble, beautiful on the outside and inside and that fool, Adrien... He missed out on the perfect girl. It's his loss, it's not supposed to be yours." I said.

Wow, I'm insulting myself.

Marinette smiled.

"You really think so?" She asked.

"Yes." I answered.

{Marinette}

"Actually... It's you..." He mumbled.

I didn't think he'd ever like me! I'd probably be the last person in his list! But... This shows that he loves me for who I truly am and not just Ladybug. Since he loves me for me, I think I should tell him that I'm the girl behind the red mask.

No. Bad idea.

What if at some point he loses interest in me because I'm not that interesting and then if I had told him, it would be terrible! It would be a disaster! It would be a... catastrophe!

Did I just make a pun?
