Pairing: If you can even count LadyNoir/Adrinette
Song: NEØN - U Remind Me
It had been a few months since Hawkmoth had been defeated, it had been two years since Marinette and Adrien had received their miraculouses and the two still haven't revealed themselves.
Adrien was extremely frustrated with his lady's hesitations and Marinette was extremely frustrated by her kitty's persistent need to know her outside the mask.
But that didn't matter, Marinette had finally gained enough courage, enough bravery, to tell Adrien how she truly felt about the blonde boy.
It was the end of the school day and it was just her and him left in the classroom. What neither had noticed was their best friends peeking through the window.
Marinette bit her lip and breathed out a soft sigh, she was finally going to do it. Adrien glanced up at the bluenette, his green eyes looking curiously at her before widening in shock when she said,
"Adrien...I like you."
He looked at her shocked, straightening his back and looking Marinette in the eyes before he saw his lady, his Ladybug. He looked away before Adrien turned back and started to...sing?
"See the thing about you, that caught my eye,"
Marinette stared back at him, curiosity shining through those big, bluebell orbs.
"Is the same thing that makes me change, my mind."
Adrien closed his eyes, cutting off the image of Ladybug in front of him.
"Kinda hard to explain, but girl, I'll try."
Marinette's curiosity turned to utter confusion, as she began to chew on her lip, a nervous habit she had picked up.
"You need to sit down, this may take a while."
Adrien's hands suddenly gripped Marinette's shoulders, pushing her down onto the desk chair.
"You see, she sorta looks, just like you."
Flickers of Ladybug and Marinette began to merge together, causing Adrien to once again close his eyes.
"She even smiles, just the way you do."
Adrien began to see Marinette's smile in his head, then Ladybug's.
"So innocent, she seemed, but I was fooled"
Adrien did feel like he had been fooled, he had sworn that Ladybug was falling for him...But she wasn't. Tears began to appear at the corner of his eyes.
"I'm reminded when I look at you, but,"
He opened his teary eyes to only lock with tearful eyes that belonged to the girl he was causing heartbreak.
"You remind me of a girl, that I once knew."
Marinette had a hand over her mouth, Ladybug flickering into Adrien's vision as he stared at Marinette.
"See her face whenever I, I look at you."
Adrien looked away, wiping the tears away.
"You won't believe all of the things that she put me through."
He remembered all the times he was with ladybug. As Adrien, as Chat...All the times they were happy and the times they fought over their civilian selves. Adrien just shook his head.
"This is why I just can't get with you."
Adrien gave Marinette a sad smile before he turned his back to her, walking out of the classroom, walking past the glaring Alya and the shocked Nino.
Marinette tried to get up and follow after Adrien, her hand out to reach him, but she fell to her kness. She just stared off into space, tears now flowing down her cheeks but a sad smile on her face.
"Adrien...I didn't know...I'm sorry, Chaton."
A/N: So I was listening to this song when I was reading some Miraculous fanfictions and I got this idea on what would happen if Ladybug and Cat Noir still haven't revealed themselves, even after the defeat of Hawkmoth (btw Gabriel isn't Hawkmoth in this little one-shot) and then Marinette decides to tell Adrien how she feels about him, only to get rejected because, well, Adrien believes Ladybug to be his SOULMATE! But if people really like this, I might make it into a full story, I'm already thinking of some scenes I could. Haha.
