Day #1; Accidental Reveal

This is my first time joining a month long prompt event so I hope I'm able to keep up. I'll certainly try. I'm also fairly new to the Miraculous Ladybug fandom so please have mercy on me if I don't get the characters quite right after my 2-3 day binge watching marathon a few weeks ago.

Thanks to ladrienjune on tumblr for hosting the event!

I write to improve, so any constructive criticism and/or suggestions would be very much appreciated! I hope you all enjoy!

After a long fight with today's akuma, Ladybug was ready to go home. It was late in the night by the time she and Chat Noir had managed to defeat the akuma and once again save paris. The fight hadn't been difficult, per se, but it had been tedious to constantly have to track down a teleporting akuma that could go invisible at will. On her way home a familiar house entered her sights and she paused, balanced carefully on top of the tall wall that surrounded the property. The Agreste home was beautiful, which wasn't surprising. It probably cost at least five times what her parents paid for the bakery and their home combined.

'Just a peak wouldn't hurt, right?' And with that thought, against her better judgement, Ladybug used her yo-yo to swing her way over to a tree that grew on the opposite side of the wall from the house. A branch that hung just above the wall was the perfect place to sit and get a peek into the window of teen model, Adrien Agreste. Ladybug expected the lights in his room to be off and for Adrien himself to be asleep, it was late after all. Instead, she noticed his light was on and a shadow caught her attention.

When she looked closer, confusion took hold as she watched Chat Noir stretching his arms above his head with a huge yawn. What was he doing there? Ladybug noticed the open window and frowned. Why would he need to sneak into the Agreste home? And where was Adrien? Using her yo-yo once more, she swung to the open window to question her partner and as she slipped through the window and landed silently behind him, she heard him speak.

"Plagg, claws in." A flash of bright green made Ladybug blink, and once her eyes readjusted Chat was gone. In his place was Adrien Agreste, with a small black kwami floating above his shoulder.

Ladybug covered her mouth to stifle her gasp, and tried to back up and leave before she was discovered, but the Kwami, Plagg, turned his head and spotted her before she could make her escape.

"Looks like you have company." The cat kwami nudged Adrien and pointed to Ladybug, and when he saw her he froze. "Guess that means you two have a lot to talk about. Finally, I say. You two were giving me an aneurysm with all that dancing around each other and pining for one another you were doing. I'll leave you two alone and go eat my cheese in piece." The kwami floated away, happily munching on his piece of camembert.

"Uh…. Hi, My Lady." The pet name he had given her felt strange to say when he wasn't masquerading as Chat Noir. Ladybug stared at him for a moment, letting the reality sink in. This was really happening. Adrien was Chat Noir.

After what seemed like an eternity, but was really only a few minutes, of them suffering through an awkward silence, Ladybug took a deep breath and then laughed. "I think your kwami is right. We have a lot to talk about."
