It Wasn't Pere

Heartbreak Moment

(Hey guys, just a little note. This chapter contains mild mature content which readers over 12 can read. It's not strong or anything but it's not for extremely young readers. Please refrain from reading that part just for your own sake. Thanks!) PS. I'll give a warning.

I skipped through a few pages and there were a few key words.

Kwami.

Miraculous.

Earrings.

Secrets.

Chat Noir.

Hawk-moth.

Ladybug.

The only way a person would be able to discover the existence of a Kwami would be a Miraculous holder.

This makes it all so clear!

The random disappearances! When Ladybug theories at school are created, she becomes stressed. Even her looks!

Marinette is Ladybug.

OH. MY. GOD.

I've slept over at Ladybug's house. I met her parents. I... REJECTED LADYBUG.

I'm so stupid!

But, then again, everything happens for a reason.

Maybe I rejected her once as Adrien, and in the process, now she kind of likes the real me!

I put the book back and got on my bed.

I sat behind my phone and opened up Alya's chat.

Adrien: hey Alya. I found out who Ladybug is but I can't tell anyone...

Alya hadn't read it. In fact, that last time she was online was like three hours ago.

I got out of bed and left the room. I entered an alley way outside the hotel.

I chanted out the words and Plagg got sucked into my ring.

In my place, stood the one and only Chat Noir.

I got on a roof and went to our room.

I knocked on Marinette's window.

She woke up almost instantly.

I smiled at her sheepishly as she groaned.

She opened the window and let me in.

"Hey Mari, I saw Adrien leave. I think his dad called him or something." I lied.

"Oh, that explains why he's gone." She said and scratched her head.

"Yeah, umm, anyway, what're you doing here?" I asked her.

{Marinette's POV}

"I- I came here with Adrien because Adrien wanted me to come, too. So, here I am. So... Why are you here?" I asked.

His relaxed expression turned to one of worry.

"I just came here for a vacation..." He said.

"Oh, that's cool. Anyway, look, I just... I need to say something..." I said, a small blush creeping up to my cheeks.

What am I doing?

He cocked his head to his side and asked, "What is it?"

I took a deep breath and looked down at my feet.

Why am I doing this?

"Ireallylikeyou, Ihopeyoufeelthesame... " I blurted out.
