Fixed the post. And dude, to whoever sending that anon comment... if the site screwing up any of my fic post, just tell me as it is. Don't suddenly curse out stuff like some ass without even mentioning what was the problem. I thought it was spam or smth.
She felt as if she was about to black out. And rightly so she should be. It was something she did not expect could happen; after all... she had been careful all these times. With all the luck she had, how could she neglect the possibility of something like this could happen? (Well, this outcome eventually would have had to happen but she didn't expect it to turn out like this. With such a twist!) But suppose... even someone blessed with a lot of luck like her could have bad days once a while...
Yet, could she say that this was a bad thing?
"I don't know any more!" Marinette wailed as she threw herself on her bed.
To be fair, for all his faults and flaws... she didn't hate Chat. Despite everything, she knows that he's not such a bad guy. Chat might have his own flaws... but that's not a bad thing. They did complement each other well and together they have been protecting Paris all these times.
In a sense, she had considered him as a trusted ally... even though she couldn't allow it in herself to let him know of her true identity. And likewise for him... as much as she considered him as a close friend; she didn't want to know of his real identity for fear that she might endanger him for that knowledge as much as hers would endanger those she cared about.
But how could this be?
How could Chat Noir... be Adrien?

It felt like a dream...
Adrien tried to pinch himself and winced as he felt pain. So it wasn't a dream. Whoa.
To be honest, he did try to respect Ladybug's wish to keep their identities secret from each other. He understood that, and always abide to it no matter how much he wanted to know about her. But this time, as their Miraculous started giving off their last warning that their transformation would ran out soon... he reacted without thinking.
Because he didn't want her to get hurt.
Ladybug didn't seem to be alert when she slipped off the ledge suddenly, and he dove in to save her from the fall. Luckily, he managed to get themselves towards an empty alley before his transformation wore off. The landing was rough because of that but at least neither of them were badly hurt as they rolled over the slope.
He thought he could slip away before the dust cleared but then... he saw Marinette on top of him. Her face was full of shock, staring down at him... as he believed his own face would mirror the reaction. He could barely register everything that was happening before Marinette got up and hastily leave the area, taking her kwami with her.
But really... Marinette is Ladybug. All these times, the one he had longed for was always right beside him.
To be frank, he used to entertain the thought that Marinette could be Ladybug... but decided that it couldn't be THAT obvious. Ladybug could have intentionally changed her appearance in order to hide her identity. And while Marinette was the only girl with a dark hair tied in twintails in his class, he couldn't neglect the possibility that there could be other girls in Paris that would look similarly like her. And while Marinette's constant tardiness as well as disappearance during classes could be suspicious, it might just be that she really did encounter those accidents that made her late or even just waking up late like Alya often teased.
That should be one of the reasons that he didn't really—ahh! Or he's just dumb. He's so lovestruck with Ladybug that he couldn't imagine this super shy girl be the same person he fell in love to.
Regardless...
Marinette... didn't seem to be so bad. Though it was weird that she tend to be so jumpy whenever he's around. All his other female classmates had gotten used to him being in the same class but only Marinette—Come to think, a lot of his fans do occasionally acted so nervously whenever they saw him—wait, does that mean...?
"Marinette likes me? Was that why?" Adrien suddenly said out loud before recalling the look Marinette gave him when both of their transformation went off. "Oh god! Does that mean she would like me less now that she knows I'm Chat Noir? Oh No!" Adrien clutched his head in alarm.
"You're being ridiculous, you know?" said Plagg suddenly as Adrien threw a pillow at him.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaa, Tikki... what should I do?" moaned Marinette as she rolled around the bed.
Tikki let out a small chuckle before smiling. "But Marinette, isn't this good? You've been liking that boy Adrien for a long time and Chat had always said that he liked you as Ladybug. So since both of them are the same person, that should mean BOTH of you had liked each other after all these times! Isn't that the best thing that could happen?"
Marinette moaned even louder. "No! It's the worst! Now he knows that Ladybug was just this plain ol' me and not so great like Ladybug—Tikki! I've been pushing him away all these times, making fun of his stupid puns and throwing him around... Oh, NO TIKKI! I've even KISSED him on the lips yet I said all those things about not really wanting to do it if I had a choice... Aaaaaaa Tikki! How could I face him in class now? Aaaaaaa!"
Tikki blinked as she shrugged. "Well, perhaps things wouldn't end up so badly..." she tried to say as Marinette continued to wallow in despair.
