Ladybug sighed, sitting back against the wall. It was dark, but the full moon was bright enough for her to just make out Chats form sitting next to her.

"So, Time Breaker was fun. I didn't know time travel was possible" he laughed lightly. Ladybug looked at him sideways and cringed. She felt like she couldn't breathe.

"Hey, what's wrong? Why are you crying?" He asked, running a finger over her damp cheeks. She laughed grimly and wiped her eyes.

"Forgot you have night vision" she said with no humor in her voice.

"Yeah, it is pretty helpful, especially when m'lady isn't doing too well. What happened?" He questioned again, his voice as serious as it had ever been. His eyes were practically glowing in the dark. Ladybug sighed again, lowering her head into her hands.

Marinette, you don't have much time! You're going to change back! Tikki was shouting in her head. She was ignored.

Chat POV

"H-hey. I'm sorry if I did anything. I..." He cut himself off, not sure how to finish his sentence.
Adrien! Hurry up! I'm getting tired! Plagg was shouting at him. He was ignored. He reached over and grabbed Ladybugs arms, lightly pulling her closer.

"We're partners. It'll be hard to work together if I resent you for not telling me the truth" he tried a weak attempt at a joke. No way. He could never resent her. He loved her.

Ladybug POV

She felt her last wall break. With a small "hmm" sound she thrust her head into his chest, wrapping her arms around him. He was taken slightly aback, but soon recovered. He placed his mouth onto the top of her head and talked into her hair.

"So, are you going to tell me?"
She took a deep breath between sobs.

"Wh-why would you do that. When I was about to be frozen. Y-you jumped I front of me..." She hiccuped slightly. Chat blinked.

"I-I was trying to save you" he explained. Ladybug gritted her teeth and shoved herself off from his chest. Her face was burning with anger.

"Did you never stop to take a moment to consider what I wanted!? I didn't know that I could bring you back, and neither did you! What if you had died!? What if I had lost you!?" She cried, fists clenching.

"I-I'm sorry" he said quietly.

Marionette! You have less than a minute! He's going to find out!

Marionette shook her head viciously, clenching her jaw. She felt Tikki starting to draw out of her. In a moment's thought, she reached out and grabbed the front of Chats suit, pulling on him, kissing him. She was vaguely aware of her mask melting away. She was more than vaguely aware of Chats arms around her waist, and better yet his mouth on her own. She heard a beeping sound and knew that they were both undisguised. She wanted to open her eyes. She wanted to know who he was. But at the same time, she didn't want to ruin anything. What if it was someone who she didn't know? Or someone she hated? She wouldn't be able to work with him ever again. Chats lips barely pulled away so that she could still feel his breath mingling with hers. Or, no. He wasn't Chat. Under the mask, she had no clue who he was.

"Can I open my eyes?"

His voice was low. And it was close. He was close. So close. Marionette licked her lips and nodded, her nose hitting his lightly.

"Y-yes" she breathed. She heard an intake of breath. She couldn't open her eyes. She felt the pad of his thumb run in the curve of her cheek.

"Marionette..." He whispered. Well, it was at least someone she knew.

"Open your eyes"
She shook her head again.

"I-I can't..."

"You can"
And she opened them. And she gasped.

"A-Adrien? You're Chat?"

"And you're ladybug..."

"Yeah"

The two sat in silence.

"So, m'lady, would you be upset if I kissed you again?"

She wasn't.
