Chapter 6

"Tikki, spots off."

Marinette, then, laid on her bed after transforming back. She and Cat Noir just finished fighting off a villain. It was a tough one, but they were able to defeat it.

"So what's your plan Marinette?" Tikki asked with her cute voice.

Marinette sighed, putting her arms over her eyes.

"I don't know. As I have said before, I am a hero, not a superstar," Marinette answered. "But Cat wants to come," she added, struggle evident in her voice.

"It's all up to you, Marinette," Tikki said again. "But there's nothing wrong on taking a break."

Marinette just sighed again. She is clearly confused whether to attend Nadia's invitation to have an interview of her and Cat Noir in her show, or not. She doesn't know if it's a good idea that everyone will know that they're together.

Marinette just laid in her bed, waiting for a sign that she should accept Nadia's invitation.

Not a moment later, Cat Noir entered her room—looking as attractive as he can be. He's holding his baton on his side.

"What are you doing here, my Kitty?" Marinette groaned.

Cat Noir quietly approached her and sat beside her on her bed. "I really want to go, Mi'lady," he pouted.

Marinette rolled her eyes, "Stop acting cute."

"I'm not acting, Mi'lady. It comes out naturally."

"Whatever," Marinette rolled her eyes again. "Anyway, I don't know if we should come? Don't you think it's bad idea to tell them what we're, uh, dating?" she asked.

Cat Noir shook his head abruptly. "No, Mi'lady. Besides, everyone already has a clue. They've been constantly seeing us holding hands as Ladybug and Cat Noir."

"Fine," Marinette huffed. "We'll go... How many minutes do we still have?"

"Ten minutes, Mi'lady," Cat Noir replied, grinning in triumphant. At last, everyone will know about him and Marinette!

Marinette stood up, yelling, "Tikki, spots on!"

After transforming, Cat Noir held Ladybug's hand, and hand in hand, they went to the place where Nadia's interview will be held.

They reached the place just in time. Nadia sighed in relief after seeing the both of them sit beside each other in sofa at her front.

"Thank you for coming, Ladybug, Cat Noir," Nadia gratefully said.

"It's nothing," Marinette smiled while Cat Noir nodded.

"Okay!" Nadia clapped her hands. "We'll be airing in 3, 2, 1!" The airing of the show started.

"Good evening, I am Nadia Chamack, and this is Face to Face. For this evening, we'll be interviewing our duo—Cat Noir and Ladybug. And maybe finally, they'll spill the tea!" Nadia gleefully said, facing the camera.

On the other side, Ladybug nervously laughed and whispered, "We shouldn't let them know that we know each other's identity."

Cat Noir just nodded, indicating that he agrees with Marinette.

"So," Nadia started, facing Ladybug and Cat Noir again. "Here's the first to everyone's questions about you... How's life?"

"Oh easy," Cat Noir arrogantly said. "I'm doing fine, and I am still well-groomed," he joked, earning a bored look from Ladybug. She always gives him looks like that whenever he jokes, but they both knows she secretly loves his jokes.

Ladybug faced Nadia, putting a smile on her face. "We're fine. We've been fighting alot of villains lately, but we are fine. The good side always win," she answered.

Nadia smiled. "That's a good answer, Ladybug," she complimented.

"How come she didn't compliment my answer," Cat Noir whispered, scoffing, earning a laugh from Ladybug and Nadia – even the audience watching them on TV is laughing.

Nadia asked numbers of question before proceeding to the biggest tea of the night that everyone's waiting for.

"Okay, for the two biggest tea," Nadia started. "Do you know each other's identity?"

"No, we chose not to let each other know yet... Maybe someday," Ladybug said.

"And I think it'll be safer if no one knows," Cat Noir nodded.

Nadia just nodded. "Well, is the rumors true? Are you dating?"

"Of course!" Cat Noir answered, not bothering to hide his excitement to confirm it. He has been waiting for that question ever since the interview started.

Nadia grinned widely, and it even got wider when Ladybug said, "It's true."

Everyone watching them squealed. Almost everyone in Paris ships them. Who wouldn't? They've been good partners in saving Paris – they'll definitely good partners in relationship too.

Nadia decided to end the interview there, thanking the couple and everyone who watched the show.

"Good night, Mi'lady," Cat Noir said after dropping Marinette off to her room.

"Good night, My Kitty," Ladybug answered, giving Cat Noir a peck on his cheek.
