Adrien.
It couldn't be!
Marinette simply couldn't believe it. Her heartthrob junior high school crush, sweet and funny Adrien Agreste was Chat Noir?
Well this was totally unexpected.
Ladybug had dropped by the Agreste mansion after defeating the latest akumatized victim, only to see Chat Noir sitting on the couch. Just when she was about to knock on the window, Ladybug heard the faint whisper of "claws in". Before she could react, green light enveloped her partner, and suddenly it was Adrien Agreste sitting on the couch.
Ladybug pulled out her yo-yo and zipped away, too startled to try and talk to him.
This was insane.
This was unreal.
This wasn't happening.
Chat Noir, who loved her and flirted with her and made dumb cat puns was Adrien Agreste?
How could she respond to that?
It wasn't that she was disappointed. She was glad that Adrien was Chat Noir. But Adrien and Chat were so different. She loved them both, in a way, and now that she knew that they were the same person- no. It was too much.
"Marinette, are you alright?" Tikki asked quietly. Marinette was so busy thinking about Chat and Adrien that she hadn't noticed when she detransformed.
"I… I don't know, Tikki. This is so strange."
"It'll be okay."
As Marinette sat on her balcony, staring out at the rooftops of her beloved city, she realized that it would be okay, in time. She loved them both, both aspects of the same amazing boy. She didn't know what she would say to him at school the next day, but she would figure that out tomorrow.
