"Sure Mayor it's no problem for me! I'll ask Chat Noir and get back to you."

"That would be great. Thank you Ladybug."

"What was that about?"

"The mayor wants to know if we can do an autograph signing.

"I would do anything to please my fans." He flashed a smile and flexed his muscles. "There's actually a girl who I'm hoping will come."

"Oh really. You have another love?"

"I, I what? No M'Lady no one could compare to you."

"I was kidding Chat. If you like someone else that's great. What's she like?"

"Um she goes to school with me. She's really nice but also really shy. Like painfully shy. I don't think she likes me."

"Oh. Do you know her as Chat or just your other identity?"

"Both."

"That's awesome Chat. I'm sure she likes both sides of you. You should ask her out."

"I might. You don't mind M'Lady?"

"Silly cat of course I don't mind."

"So you aren't in love with me?" I rolled my eyes in response. "I'm serious M'Lady. If you think there is any possible way you could return my affection I will not ask her out."

"Chat you should ask her out."

"So… no?"

"Chat please don't get hung up on me."

"Can I… M'Lady can I kiss you? I know you do not return my affection but I would really like to kiss you. If you let me I will be able to move on. I just need to know."

"Ok."

"What? Really?" He cocked his head to the side and smiled. "Thank you M'Lady."

"One more thing. You can't call me that anymore."

"As you wish. However, I am still going to kiss you M'Lady." Before I could yell at him for saying that he pulled me close, wrapped his arms around my waste and leaned in. Our foreheads were touching but he still hadn't kissed me.

"Chat?"

"You look like her." He breathed out. I barely had a moment to register what he had said before his lips were on mine. Hard. His lips were soft but I could not believe how hard he had pushed them onto mine. I kissed back just for a moment, then pulled away. His grip on my waist did not diminish or even loosen.

"Chat? Let go of me. Please."

"Ladybug you look like her."

"Are you ok Chat? You're crying."

"Are you her?"

"Chat?"

"Marinette?" The world felt like it stopped. I turned and ran. I didn't know what else to do.
