~Realization~

Ladybug was standing on the roof of a house in Paris. It was a beautiful night for a patrol. She was waiting for Chat Noir to show up. The little kitty was late and she was starting to lose it. Where on earth was he?

A few minutes went by and she heard the footsteps coming from behind, she turned around and gave him a look.

"Good evening, my lady!" he greeted happily, walking towards her. He was in a very good mood.

"Thank you for showing up." She said, hoping he could hear the sarcasm in her voice. He did, but he didn't really care.

"Always a pleasure to be with you." He replied bowing dramatically. She rolled her eyes and started to walk away.

"Let's go before I do something I'll regret." And like that, they started they patrol.

Ladybug couldn't tell, obviously. She was too busy looking through the buildings as they went from roof to roof, but Chat's eyes couldn't get off of her. He had thought of it the whole night and decided that he was going to talk about the issue with her. He had to. If she had taken an interest in him as Adrien, then he was going to go for it. He concluded that this was a sign of destiny and who was he to go against destiny?

"You know what? I think you're being pretty unfair, my lady." He blurted out, taking her by surprise and stopping her in track. He stopped too, smirking at the sight of her head titled to the side and her look of complete cluelessness.

He was a step ahead of her and he loved it.

"How come you kiss my friend Adrien and still you refuse to kiss me?" Chat Noir asked as he moved slowly and gracefully around her. Ladybug gave him a dumbfounded look.

"You know him?" she breathed out with wide eyes. Chat chuckled and took a step forward.

"More than you think." He whispered looking straight into her eyes, desperately wanting to transmit an unspoken message. He couldn't bring himself to tell her that he was indeed Adrien though he was dying to. He wanted her to figure it out so bad.

Ladybug was frozen in spot. Did she hear right? Did playful and flirty Chat Noir just suggest that he was the well-mannered and polite Adrien Agreste?

No. No. God, no.

He couldn't. Could he? No, of course not. Or yes?

Oh goodness.

Ladybug turned around and started going through all the moments that might link Adrien to Chat.

Ok, there were some coincidences but there was nothing that proved that they were both the same person. No. There was no way Chat Noir could be Adrien Agreste. No way at all.

Seeing Ladybug so lost in her thoughts made Chat laugh silently. He knew what she was thinking. She was trying to put the pieces together and figure out if he actually was Adrien. He knew she was thinking of him and the smirk on his face only grew bigger.

Then, he remembered the other night, when she had broke in his room and had kissed him so sweetly before disappearing.

He looked at her again. Ladybug was so beautiful, so smart and so charming that he just couldn't believe it. He had spent the whole night trying to figure out why on earth she had kissed him so freely as Adrien when as Chat Noir he was being constantly rejected. Where did she know him from? School? Chinese lessons? He couldn't tell and he was dying to know. He had known her all this long and he still couldn't tell who she was.

She was still pondering and he felt his heart warm up knowing she liked him. Well, half of him. His civilian self. Could this mean that he was finally having his chance with her?

Feeling strangely powerful and confident in a different way from the usual, he stood beside her and lifted her chin with his hand, making sure she was looking straight into his eyes.

"Cat got your tongue?" he teased, smirking. She said nothing and continued to look at him with such astonishment –and some innocence- that he couldn't resist it anymore. "Let me check." And he kissed her.

Oh God- he thought as he pressed his lips against hers eagerly- if she hates me after this, it was so worth it. He had wanted to kiss Ladybug's plump and rosy lips for so long. He panicked a little bit when she did not move a muscle, but it all went away when she relaxed and kissed him back. This was it, he was in total bliss.

Ladybug didn't know what possessed her that made her kiss Chat Noir back. But here she was wrapping her arms around his neck and letting his curious tongue slip inside her mouth. Wait, what? She gasped at this but oh boy. He was so good at kissing. It was completely different from kissing Adrien, but not in a bad way. And at some point, it did seem familiar.

Adrien.

Ladybug snapped her eyes open and pushed Chat Noir away from her. What was she thinking? What was she doing? What was wrong with her? She couldn't do this, not as long as she wasn't sure about what to do with the Chat Noir being or not being Adrien.

Chat was hurt, yes. He was disappointed, yes. But he also knew that it was kind of his fault, so he reached out to apologize, but what happened next caught them both totally off guard.

A pigeon came out of nowhere and flew past them, slamming its wing against Chat's face, almost knocking him out in the process. But a second later, the pigeon managed to gain control of its flight again and got lost in the dark of the night.

After this, of course, Chat Noir started sneezing uncontrollably.

"Man," sneeze "I'm sorry," sneeze "just one second," sneeze "damn feather allergy." Sneeze again.

He was so focused on controlling his allergy break down that he missed Ladybug's jaw hang open. Realization had just gotten her.

Of course, she thought, Adrien and Chat are both allergic to feathers.

How could she be so stupid? How didn't she see this before? It was so damn obvious! Now all the memories she had gone through a few minutes ago made perfect sense. Chat Noir and Adrien were never together in the same place, he was surprisingly familiar with her school and her classmates... God, there was one time when he even slipped and admitted knowing Kim! But dear Lord! The feather allergy! Am I really that oblivious?

Adrien was Chat Noir. Chat Noir was Adrien. She had just kissed both of them. At the same time. Oh. My. God.

She turned her attention to Chat again and he was still struggling with the sneezing. Overwhelmed by the situation, she decided she couldn't face the facts just now. She wasn't ready.

Taking out her yo-yo and glancing at him one last time, she took off before he could even notice.

When Chat Noir managed get the allergy under control, he turned around to find his lady long gone.

.

The next morning, Marinette and Adrien were both physically at school, but mentally, they were far away from there.

Marinette had gone through the topic with Tikki the whole night, only to find out that Tikki already knew and was wondering how much longer would it take her to figure it out. After a very long night, she concluded that Adrien didn't know she was Ladybug. He did not even suspect it. A part of her found this amusing, but another part was a little disappointed. But the one that found it amusing was way stronger. She also came to realize that she was really happy that Chat Noir was Adrien. Until that day, she had never thought about her feeling for him as anything else that a friendship. Now, she realized that the same part of her that found this whole situation amusing was also kind of into the kitty.

She took a glance into Adrien's direction and saw him sitting there, looking absolutely heart-broken. Marinette instantly felt bad. It was her fault, after all. What could she do to make him feel better?

As she thought of this, an explosion followed by an evil laughter and the sound of the fire alarm took everyone by surprise. And while the rest started to panic, both heroes knew it was their cue for action.

The teacher was trying to remain everyone calm and taking them out of the classroom. Marinette was about to sneak out when she saw Adrien trying to do the same. And then, an idea hit her.

"Come one, kitty! It's show time!" she whispered only for him to hear as she ran past him.

Marinette turned around to look at Adrien. He was frozen in place with wide eyes and jaw hanging. She giggled and went straight to the girl's bathroom.

.

The whole student body was being held hostage by the new villain, who called himself Pythagoras. He was strangely similar to the Math professor, but oh well.

To everyone's relief, two well-known figures were standing on top of the building.

"Ladybug and Chat Noir!" someone yelled happily.

The two heroes, from their position where no one could hear them, looked at each other and smiled.

"Hello, Adrien."

"Hello, Marinette."

"Ready?"

"You bet, my lady."

The end.

I just had to do it! I couldn't just end it in the first chapter! It needed closure!

I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did writing it!
