So I recently became obsessed with this fandom (seriously another fandom?) and I felt the need to start this book of oneshots because I now spend all of my time imagining reveals. This one is one that's not done much I dont think - parents. this is where Marinette's dad finds out and the next one will be Adrien and Nathalie. Enjoy! disclaimer: I dont own miraculous ladybug.
"Pound it!" Ladybug said as she fist bumped her partner. She grinned at Chat who smirked back.
"See you soon m'lady!" he jumped onto a roof and ran off.
"Bye kitty." She said to herself. Ladybug swung over the rooftops herself until she came to the bakery where she lived. She sighed as she leapt into her room and released her transformation. Tiki popped into existence next to her and let out a groan.
"You okay, Tiki?" Marinette asked. The kwami didn't usually look so worried after her transformation into Ladybug.
Tiki gestured to Marinette's left. She followed the kwami's gaze and turned just in time to see a man creeping slowly down her ladder.
"Dad!" she cried. He looked up guiltily. Marinette narrowed her eyes. "What did you see?" she asked worriedly. "How long have you been here?"
"I – uh… you're Ladybug!?" he burst out.
"I did try to warn you." Tiki sighed.
"No! I – not I –Ladybug I'm – I'm not ladybug!" Marinette squealed.
"He saw you detransform." Tiki informed her. "He was there when you came in."
"Why didn't you tell me, Tiki?" she asked.
"There was no time. Sorry Marinette."
"Uh… excuse me?" her dad put in. "what's happening?"
Marinette groaned. "Basically dad, I'm…"
"Marinette is Ladybug!" Tiki told him as she flew up. "I am her kwami and I help her transform and give her power and increased abilities. My name is Tiki, nice to meet you Mr Dupain."
Tom Dupain scratched his head nervously. "You too… Tiki. So uh, Marinette… what can I say?"
"Maybe that you won't ground me?" Marinette said hopefully.
"Why would I do that?" Tom asked in genuine confusion.
"Well because I've been lying to you, and I sneak out of the house nearly every day and ive been putting myself in danger and…"
"I'm not angry Marinette." Tom assured her. "Sure I'm worried and surprised, but I know that Ladybug can handle things. It would explain a lot actually."
"So you won't ground me then?"
"Of course not. We all need Ladybug. Just because you're her doesn't make a difference. It just makes you even more awesome than you already were and me even prouder of you."
Marinette stared at him for a second before engulfing him in a giant bear hug. "Thanks a lot dad. Thank you."
Tom put his own arms around his daughter happily.
"Just… don't tell mom, please?"
"I won't darling. Your secret is safe."
"Thanks papa. Now, I kind of have to go. I told Chat I'd meet him on the Eiffel tower. Bye dad!"
"You go, Ladybug. Bye." Tom said as his daughter leapt out of the room and he saw a flash of pink light before turning away to where Sabine was calling.
"What were you and Marinette talking about?" she asked.
"Oh not much." He replied. "Just something she and Alya did yesterday."
"Did she have fun?"
Tom thought. "She said it was pretty miraculous."
that was really short... eh.
