You Will Always be The One [A Miraculous Ladybug MariChat Fanfiction]

Chapter 5

Marinette fed Tikki a cookie, and waited for her kwami to finish eating. When Tikki was done, they walked outside, quiet so Cat Noir wouldn't see or hear them. It didn't take her long to find Master Fu's place, and she opened the door to see him already standing there waiting for her. "Hello Ladybug, what brings you here?"

Marinette didn't know what exactly to say, "Well... Uh... Cat Noir came to me, and... Something happened to him in his civilian life where he actually needed me. And I'm not sure what I should do..."

Master Fu nodded, "Marinette, I trust Cat Noir that what he has to tell you is important, so you should listen to him."

"I trust him too master, but... It's his civilian life! What is he tells me something that reveals his identity, or-"

Master Fu stopped her, "Follow your instincts, and don't let doubt and fear stop you from helping him. He's your partner."

Marinette nodded, looking down a little ashamed. He already knows what's going on. "Thank you... And... Sorry for bothering you in the middle of the night with something so little.."

"It is fine, you needed the advice. Now go help your partner."

Marinette ran back to her house as fast as she could, hoping her partner hadn't left already. When she ran up her stairs, onto her bed, and through the trap door, she still saw him standing there. "Hey Cat Noir, I'm back." Cat Noir just nodded and looked down. "I'm... Sorry again... I hope Ladybug will show up soon..." Behind Marinette, Tikki was watching. When Marinette glanced her way, the red kwami motioned for her to go on.

"Hey... Cat Noir? There's something I've been meaning to tell you..."

Cat Noir turned around and stared at her, "Yeah?" Marinette took a deep breath, "You've been visiting me here for quite a while now, and there's a secret I've been hiding from you... That might change at lot."

Cat Noir was confused. "What secret?"

"Cat Noir... I just wanted to say that all along, I've been-" Marinette cut herself off, she wasn't ready to say it like this.

"Hey Cat Noir, Look! Ladybug!" Marinette pointed in a random direction and Cat Noir turned that way. "She just swung behing one of those buildings, you can go talk to her if you catch up and find her!"

Cat Noir looked back at Marinette, "Wait, what were you going to tell me?" Marinette sighed, "Its not important... But go! This is your only chance to talk to Ladybug before the next akuma!"

Cat Noir nodded and smiled at her, before leaping away in the direction she pointed out to him.

Marinette sighed, and Tikki flew up beside her. "Marinette, its okay. Master Fu said it was okay, because Cat Noir needs you. You can do this!" Marinette took a deep breath, and gave an unsure smile to her kwami. "Ok, thanks Tikki. Spots On!"

Ladybug quickly found Cat Noir and jumped ahead of him. Cat Noir grinned, but she realized it wasn't like his real, excited, flirty smile. "Hey Cat Noir, what's up?"

His 'smile' dropped. "Today... wasn't one of my best days. It was great, until I left my friend's house... And..." He paused, and sighed. She nodded and told him to continue. "When I arrived home, I noticed something unusual. Turns out, my father noticed me come in and... he saw me before I detransformed. He knew it was me..." Ladybug face fell, a mixture of shock and concern for her partner.

"Is... That all?" She knew the answer, but feared what was to come.

"N-no..."

And they braced themselves for the story of the night.

***

After explaining everything (well, almost everything) to Ladybug, Cat Noir hugged her as tears fell down his cheeks. He didn't give the specifics like who his father was, or who he was, but he'd soon have to.

"Ok Cat Noir," Ladybug held her breath. "Who's HawkMoth?" Ladybug wasn't prepared for his answer, and never in a million years would she guess what he was about to say.

"My lady, he's... Gabriel Agreste."

He watched as Ladybugs went from worried, to shocked, to scared, so a really bright red.

"WAIT WAIT WAIT! IF GABRIEL A-AGRESTE IS YOU FATHER, T-THEN THAT MEANS-"

"You're A-Adrien Agreste?" Cat Noir nodded, and smiled nervously. Ladybug was mentally beating her self up for being stupid.

"You've been with me all this time!? From fighting akumas with me, to going to school with me, then to visiting me above the bakery. The feather allergy, Volpina..." Too caught up in the moment, Ladybug didn't realize what she said.

But Cat Noir did. "School? Balcony? I only visit Marinette, Bugaboo. Only her. Unless.. You're saying..." Ladybug nodded and covered her face with her hands. "Suprise? I guess?"

"You're Marinette.. You.. Why haven't I noticed!? You guys look exactly alike! Plagg was right... I am blind. You're really sneaky bugaboo... I don't know how you got it past me, but you did."

He pushed back his frustration and laughed slightly. "You truly are Miraculous, Marinette. I glad it was you. You can do so many amazing things, I dont know where to start."

Ladybug smiled at Cat Noir, starting to tear up. "You are too kitty, but I know where to start. But there are just so many things we'd be here all night."

They forgot about one major detail, but they were so wrapped up in their love for each other it went right over their heads.

Ladybug hugged Cat Noir and squeezed him tightly, and Cat Noir did the same.

"Aww, how sweet. My son finally caught the heart of my opponent. But you should be careful Adrien, this isn't going to work out for the both of you, because soon enough I will have both of your miraculous.
