I Love you Both

Chapter two- Awkward Confessions

     Plagg was so surprised, he knew Marinette was Ladybug, he just wasn't into the whole lovey dovey shenanigans, but when he saw that ring... Well he still didn't care, but he still didn't see it coming. He should have though, knowing him, no matter who he was paired with, they always were as sweet as candy, and he hated it.

     "You are going to propose?!" Adrien jumped a bit at the volume of Plagg's voice, and he almost lost the ring to the streets of Paris by dropping it off of the balcony that he always does his homework on. (There were stacks of it on the table out there, because he couldn't stop procrastinating (Like me with this fanfic))  He looked at his kwami, and all Plagg could see in his eyes was guilt, guilt of being in love with more then one person, guilt of the thought of two-timing his girlfriend. (Not girl friend, girlfriend) "I was... No I am.. I mean... I don't know if I should anymore."

     By this time, Plagg realized that they had a big problem of their hands. Adrien didn't want to propose to his girlfriend, because he was in love with her other personality, why is life so confusing? How can any of this make sense? "Okay so, who do you love? Marinette, or Ladybug?" 

     Adrien thought about that for a moment, even though the answer should be obvious. "Both?" Plagg gave him a deadpanned look, he was looking for one or the other, not both, even though they are the same person, nope, that's not the point, "Seriously." Adrien shrugged and looked at him sheepishly. "Don't look at me like that, Marinette is sweet and caring and I love her for that, but with Ladybug, it's different." 

     Plagg grabbed a piece of his cheese and threw it at Adrien's head. "You know sooner or later, you're going to have to choose." Adrien groaned and threw his cheese right back at him. "I know that. Stop reminding me." He threw his pillow on his face, like it could solve all of his problems.

     "What are you going to do with the ring?" Adrien looked at the closed box that sat in the palms of his hand and sighed. "I wish is kne-" He was cut off by the sound of the door being unlocked, which meant Nino was back. "Plagg hide." The cat like kwami grabbed some of his cheese, and hid behind the pillow Adrien was laying on.

     Nino came into the room with a frown on his face, though Adrien could tell he was trying to hide it. "Hey dude, I'm back. Whoa, where did you get the ring?" Adrien realized that in his panic of Nino finding out about Plagg, he accidentally opened the box that held the ring, he was going to give Marinette.

     "It used to be my mothers." He thought back to the time, when he told his mother that he had finally asked out the girl he had been crushing for the past few months, and the first thing she did was walk to her room, grabbed something and come back down to him. She could see the confused look on his face so she explained.

 "Here, Adrien. I wanted to give you this ring." When he opened the box, he immediately shook his head, saying it was only a date, but Emile pushed the ring back in his direction. "There is something about this girl, and I know she will be the one." Adrien was so overwhelmed with emotions, all he could do was nod his head, and mutter a quiet 'thank you' 

    "Wait are you going to propose?!" Nino couldn't help the smile that started to form on his face, but the frown was still visible. "Well I was, but-" Nino interrupted him with his long list of questions, he was hanging out with Alya way too much. "Do you know how you're going to do it? Who else have you told besides me? When are you going to do it?"

     Adrien had to take a few steps back from Nino, with everything he was saying. Now he just felt guilty. He loved Marinette of coarse, but did he love enough now to want to merry her, no. He loves Ladybug. UGH, why can't they just be the same person, it would make things so much easier, but he was Cat Noir, the black cat Miraculous holder, bad luck was his thing, nothing ever went his way.
