Adrien was nervous. He had no idea how Marinette was taking the roses and notes. He wasn't sure it was the greatest poem but he had tried his best, and it was all true.

He still had one more note to deliver, though.

Of course, Alya said it was being well received but he was still nervous.

Once school was over, he rushed off and transformed into Cat Noir. He then went to Marinette's house and put the last note with the rose.

Suddenly he heard footsteps close to the door. He didn't have enough time to leave, so he hid under the bed quickly, slipping under it deftly.

Marinette went straight home after school, she had to figure out where to find Cat Noir. She wanted to tell him she forgave him. When she arrived home here was a note and another rose.

And I hope you can forgive me.

All together the poem sounded like this.

You have the most beautiful smile
Your heart is as big as can be
I love you so much
And I hope you can forgive me

It was a beautiful poem and Marinette wished that Cat Noir was there. Suddenly, her Kwami popped out, but before Marinette could say anything, Tikki closed her mouth, indicating to remain silent. She then flew over the bed and pointed to it, then hid again.

Marinette looked where she was pointing and saw something black breathing. She smiled.

"You can come out, Kitty," Marinette said.

Cat Noir paused before slowly coming out, with a sheepish expression.

"How did you know I was under there?" He asked.

Marinette giggled.

"I could hear you breathing," Marinette said.

"Oh, well, I only wanted to drop off the rose and note. I know you probably don't want to see me, so I'll get going-"

"Shhh," Marinette said, cutting him off by putting a finger to his lips.

"I forgive you," she said.

"Really?" Cat Noir said with a smile.

"Of course. I would have had to forgive you at some point - you are my soulmate," she said.

Cat Noir pulled Marinette closer to him by her waist.

"True, but I would have preferred that you forgave me sooner rather than later. Because now, I can do this," he said and kissed her.

Marinette kissed him back, happy to be with her soulmate once more.

Then she suddenly pulled away and looked at the clock.

"Cat Noir, its time for patrol."

Cat Noir groaned. "But I just got you back," he whined like a child.

"Don't you use me as an excuse to avoid your responsibilities," Marinette scolded.

"But Mariiii," he whined teasingly.

"Go, I'll be here when you get back," she said.

Cat Noir finally conceded and went to go leave.

"I'll be back shortly, alright?" he said, smiling at her.

"Alright," Marinette said.

When he was far enough away, Tikki popped out.

"So all is forgiven?" she asked.
