Chapter 11- Rooftops and Secrets

Your POV~

Nathaniel and I sat together at a table in the coffee shop. He was looking down at the wood specks on the table, the color in his face almost matching that of his hair. He had just look me in the eyes and asked me to be his girlfriend. I honestly don't know what he was afraid, after the events following Chloe's party last week.

"Why would I ever say no? Of course, Nathaniel. You know we're already more than friends," I responded.

He looked up, his face still red, but he was smiling.

"Follow me," he said, a twinkle in his eyes.

My eyes widened a bit in shock, curious as to why this is the first thing he says to me as my boyfriend. Shrugging and standing up, I let him take my hand and lead me put the doors of the shop, not even having gotten a coffee.

Adrien's POV~

It had to be Marinette. I had been thinking about it all week. "He had to go retransform, because he used his cataclysm to destroy the hair ribbon."

That's what Ladybug had said to Nathaniel, when he had asked where Chat Noir went. How did she know? Most people at that party could presume that, but Marinette was the only one who I had said that to. She also freaked out about having been akumatized, and told me she liked me. Then Ladybug kissed me. There were just so many signs, and now that I had really been thinking about it and going through my memories, I had missed so many other signs too.

How could I have been so oblivious?

At the thought of the word, my head started hurting, and for some reason my eyes blurred, and I saw black.

A few moments later I woke, but my eyes could not open, and all I could do was listen.

"If my own mother doesn't know that I'm Ladybug, then nobody must know," a voice says, and it sounds like Ladybug. But it sounds more like Marinette, a little more high pitched.

"What about us? Do you think we know?" I hear my very own voice speak, but it sounds like it would in a video. I do not remember this conversation.

"Hm. I feel like we're more than just a superhero team." She pauses.

"Do you think we're..." My other-voice trails off for some reason and there is another pause. I still can't see what is going on in this strange dream.

"Looks like it," She says. Looks like what? I have no idea what conversation this is!

"Then we must have told eachother everything. I couldn't hide my identity from the girl I love," the other me says to Marinette. I hear a gasp from her, and then the conversation is over.

Finally I can open my eyes, and I'm sitting up in my bed. Something really weird just happened. My head doesn't physically hurt that much anymore, but it sure hurts mentally. I think that I had a flashback to something I can't remember. And the only time I can think of where I lost my memory and something crazy happened was when Hawkmoth created Oblivio. The same day that Ladybug actually fell in love with me, and Alya took a picture of us kissing.

If Marinette and I really did have that conversation inside of that memory loss period, then that means she really is Ladybug. And that means that this whole time our love was being blocked by the barrier of our simple little masks.

I sat up boltright in my bed. This had been the the most confusing week ever for me, especially concerning my love life and Marinette. But now that I had figured it all out...

"Plagg. Stop rummaging through the cheese and come over here." I said.

"What?! Why?" He complained, mouthful.
