I sighed, I was debating with myself on whether I should tell Adrien that I was Ladybug or not. While he did deserve to know about my alter ego, as we have been dating for quite a while now, everytime I try to tell him, I think about every horrible thing that could happen if someone overheard, and I just … can't.
"Marinette?"Oh, crap. What had he just said? He must have sensed my confusion because he laughed.
"Did you hear me?" "No…"
"Daydreaming?"
"You wish"
"How did you guess?" Crap crap crap, I was blushing.
"Umm" He just smiled at me again.
"I asked you if you were busy this evening" Oh. Actually, I was. Ladybug had promised to visit to the hospital and hang out with the kids.
"Umm, I'm so sorry. I have a … thing. Again" A thing? Gosh Marinette, could you get any more specific? While I was busy internally facepalming I nearly missed his next words
"Oh. Um, Marinette, could I ask you something sort of important?"
"Hmm, oh, yeah! What's up?" I responded, trying not to sound distracted.
"This is probably going to sound really stupid, but are you seeing anyone else?" Wait, what? Oh gosh, that was what Adrien thought I was doing. Oh no no no.
"No! Adrien, gosh, no! Of course not, I'm just…"
"Just what?"
"Just…" I leaned forward, resting my head in my hands. Well, if I was going to tell him it would have to be now. We were alone, nobody could overhear us unless they were standing on my windowsill. I took a deep breath.
"This is going to sound insane, but I'm Ladybug?"
"Wait, seriously." He stared at me like he had never seen me before.
"Tikki!" I called, and the little red kwami came flying over. Adrien looked like he was about to faint.
"This is too good to be true."
"What?"
"Plagg!" He called, and a small black blob came floating lazily out of his shirt pocket.
"Did you two finally tell each other?" The blob asked. No, not just a blob. A cat-like kwami. Oh my gosh
"Chat?"
"Yes, my purrincess?" Yep, definitely my Chat.
