Hai! This is my first Miraculous FanFiction, so this might be terrible (plz no epic hating) but ———

Mild Hating is allowed, since I'll just read it and then try to delete it before it puts anyone off reading this.

Just saying, this is a Ladybug, Chat Noir and Hawkmoth Reveal, and now it is CONFIRMED who Hawkmoth is. Congratulations those who guessed correctly! This is kind of a spoiler for Episode One Of Season Two though. But yeah, Episode One and Two Of Season Two are OUT! Ah, and about this fic... all speech is in italics.

I'm going to kindly shut up now.

Marinette Dupain-Cheng sighed. For about the millionth time in her life, she sighed.

She had so many problems in life that needed to be solved, like..

She was still super clumsy.

She hadn't made up with Chat Noir after their most recent fight.

She was still stuttering and stammering whenever Adrien was within a metre of herself.

Alya was still doing the Ladyblog, so if she told Chat Noir who she really was, Alya would be sure to find out and blab it out to everyone. And she really wanted to know who Chat Noir truly was.

A few weeks ago, Alya had found Marinette and Chat Noir's homework books that fell out when they were jumping across the rooftops during patrol. So Marinette knew that Chat Noir was in her class. But she had yet to figure out who he truly was.

Alya had been dropping some hints recently, and Marinette had narrowed it down to one boy. But she didn't dare think it true.

According to Marinette's crazy mind, Adrien was Chat Noir. Adrien.

'Marinette! Honey, you NEED to wake up earlier! You're already...' Sabine yelled up, glancing at her watch.'TEN MINUTES LATE! Two seconds flat, you'd better be here!'

'What? Oh my gosh, yeah Mom!' Marinette shrieked from above. She rushed down the stairs, missing every other stair, and tripped.

What a surprise.

She moaned in pain, and Sabine folded her arms, walking over to help her up.

'Sweetie, come on.. That's it, yeah, eat up that cereal rapidly!'

'Mom! I'm not a toddler!' Marinette demolished her breakfast, whipped round, and ran up the stairs. She had her thirty seconds of Adrien-Poster-Admiration Time, and dressed into a casual outfit.

She sprinted down the stairs once more, packed her bag and ran out the door. And then she froze. Civilians were banging against prison bars, each locked up in their own cage, screaming for help.

'LADYBUG! CHAT NOIR! LADY BARS GOT US! PLEASE COME AND SAVE US!'

And then Adrien walked in, staring around blankly. Marinette jumped in extreme alarm, dived back into the bakery, fully ignoring the jingle of the bells, and cried,

'Spots on!'

When she pushed the door open again, there was no sign of Adrien, not free or in bars, and she sighed in relief.

'Hey, bugaboo! Seems you weren't doing so pawsome without me, eh?' A familiar voice rang into Ladybug's mind. 'She whizzed round, put her hands on her hips.

'Not now, kitty. I reckon Mrs. Chumack has been akumatized... Of course! The police had falsely accused her of robbery! Ok, Chat? We need to save those villagers! Any bright ideas how?'

Chat tapped his chin thoughtfully.

'I could Cataclysm as many bars as possible in one go.'

Ladybug shook her head.

'I said bright. That would be unfair on the others who would still be in bars.' Chat stifled a giggle.

'What is so funny?' Ladybug glared at Chat through her red and black spotted mask.

'Lucky Charm, What about that huh?'

'Oh yeah! Duh! No, kitty, Lucky Charm is a last resort. 'Course I thought of Lucky Charm!'

Chat raised his eyebrows. 'Any better ideas?'

'No, but-' Ladybug protested, cutting herself short. Then she looked down in defeat, and Chat grinned. But Ladybug had a comeback.

'Adorable. You really wanted to make up after that fight,didn't you? You admire me so much, you just can't take even twelve hours without being my partner in crime at the same time as being my best friend. Someone's in lurve!' Ladybug flashed Chat some puppy doll eyes, wanting to have a point against him in this.

'Aw, come on. Just use Lucky Charm already!'

'Fine. Lucky Charm!' Ladybug shouted, and a hammer dropped from the sky and into her hands. The weight was too much for her, so she passed it to the stronger black cat.

Multiple items flashed black and red, and she nodded.

'Chat, I'll get that rope and the set a trap. When the Akuma falls, break her helmet. That's where the butterfly is.

Chat winked at Ladybug, who rolled her eyes and swinged her yo-yo. She grabbed the rope had pointed to, and tied it from a streetlight to another. She knew that it would be so obvious that it would be efficient.

Lady Bars skipped into view, and froze when she saw Paris' superheroes. Then her lips twisted into an evil smile, and she cackled. And then she pointed her metal stick, identical to Chat's, at Ladybug.

Bars began to grow around Ladybug and Chat Noir, but Ladybug was too shocked to move.

Manon... probably too scared to bat an eyelid.

And then Chat pushed her forward, but he stayed in the bars. Ladybug spinned round to give Chat a grateful smile, but widened her eyes when she saw him staying put, ushering her forward.

Of course! The trap! Chat pushed the hammer through the bars, and although it barely fit, Ladybug snatched it and sneaked towards the trap. Lady Bars was approaching, and thought that she couldn't believe her eyes. One of those stupid childish pranks..

And then she fell.

Rapidly, Ladybug seized her chance, and Chat smiled to himself.

'Yes, kitty, I'm avenging you.' Ladybug told him, and Chat mouthed a 'Thank You' but was unable to get the sound to Ladybug.

Ladybug swung the hammer, and brought it down hard on Lady Bars, and the helmet smashed. The akuma fluttered out the debris, and Ladybug caught it with her yo-yo. The akuma was purified, and flapped away.

'Bye bye, little butterfly.' Ladybug whispered to the white insect. Her hands tightened on the hammer, and she hurled it into the sky with extreme force.

'Miraculous Ladybug!' She called to the clouds, and the red particles flew through the city, fixing everything. The bars were fading, and Chat had escaped. Ladybug tapped Chat's shoulder.

'Huh? Oh, my Lady, what do you need?' He bowed dramatically, generating a giggle from Ladybug.

'Chat...' Ladybug pulled him close and hugged him. 'I love you.'

Chat blinked. 'My Lady?'

Ladybug nodded, and ran off into the night, sobbing.

When she got to the bakery, she de-transformed and rocketed up to her bedroom, wondering why the hell she had just told Chat she loved him.

And Alya would surely hear about it, and the Ladyblog would be full of Ladybug and Chat Noir shippers. Ladynoir, perhaps?

She loved Chat, she truly did, but she still had a crush on Adrien. She loved them both, but with Adrien much more. And she was worried that she would break Chat's heart, which would force Paris into astonishing danger.

And she thought about forgetting Adrien; they were getting nowhere.

o0o

'Chat?'

Her sweet, chirpy tone that made his heart flutter.

Her bluebell eyes that looked at Chat curiously.

Her confidence, and the way that she never let anything stand in her way.

Those things had told him that she loved him.

Adrien had had to pinch himself to ensure himself that it was real. And it was.

But if they were going to truly be together, they couldn't hide their identities from one another forever.

Every time Chat saw her, he wanted to rip that stupid mask off of hers, the one thing that stood in the way of their love, since she surely would fall for him had she seen the boy under the mask.

Literally fall, like Marinette did.

Marinette's face swam into his mind, but he pushed her away. No girl would distract him from his Lady.

Adrien grabbed his rucksack and slung it over his shoulders, slipping into his limo.

Minutes later, the limousine pulled up outside his school. And then he heard a familiar voice, and whipped round to see a wealthy blonde with her hair tied up into her usual ponytail running towards him.

'ADRIKINSSSSSSSS!' Chloé shrieked, wrapping her arms around his neck.

'Uhm, hi Chloé?' Chloe grinned, and waved to Sabrina. Adrien slipped away and went to Alya while Chloé's back was turned.

'Alya?' Adrien flashed the brunette a dazzling smile, and Marinette, who was behind her, sighed and jogged towards the bench, hands on her head like she had a headache. Adrien shrugged, and turned back to Alya.

'Have you heard? Ladybug and Chat are an item now! Ladybug told Chat last night that she loved him, and well, Chat always loved her. Maybe put that on the Ladyblog?' When Adrien informed Alya of this, she nodded, gave him a thumbs up and then Marinette softly moaned and gave a high pitched scream from the bench.

Adrien walked away, and went over to Marinette.

'You okay, Mari?' Adrien asked her.

'Uh.. Uh... Yeah... y'know, Ladybug has a crush on someone else, and she was torn between them but she wasn't getting anywhere with her crush...'

'Really? And how do you know that?' Adrien questioned, intrigued.

'Aah! Um.. Uh.. heh... I.. I'm frie... friend best her... Aah! Her b-best friend.' Adrien arched an eyebrow.

'Cool! So, you know who she is yeah?'

'Mm.. Y-y-yeah, b-but I'm n-not allowed-d to tell.'

Adrien entered the school, walked into his classroom, and was followed by the rest of his class.

Madame Bustier was greeting them all, when Alix rushed into the classroom, panic etched onto her face.

'Life-Sucker! Akuma! EVERYONE RUN, SCREAM AND PANIC!' Alix panted. Several pupils slapped their foreheads, while Adrien and Marinette sped out the door in chorus.

'Mari, where are you going?' Adrien looked at Marinette, who ignored him and kept heading out.

Adrien got behind a tree, and shouted to the sleeping Plagg,

'Claws Out!'

'Marinette! I'm awake now, and chaos has approached Paris! Just say those magic words!' The helpful, kind voice of Tikki reached Marinette, and they both winked at each other.

'Spots on, Tikki!'

NOT a oneshot, I am writing more as you read this. Short chapter, I know, and by the way I will tell you if I am stopping for a while.

Hope you enjoyed,
