Marinette had been surprised she wasn't the one to be akumatized. With all the stress and anxiety going on in this mess of a light, she was sure Hawk Moth was going to target her. Thankfully, that wasn't the case. Since her job was to purify the akuma, it only made sense that she was immune to it. Hawk Moth couldn't touch her, much less sense her. Being Ladybug definitely had a lot of perks.

"Miraculous Ladybug!" She cried, tossing a red screw driver peppered with black dots into the air. It dissolved into a trillion ladybugs that spread throughout the city, fixing all the damage the latest akuma: Handy-Man had caused.

Ladybug sighed, stretching her arms over her head, fingers lacing together in her arch. Her body still a little sore, but nothing a quick shower and some R&R won't fix.

"My Lady," Okay, maybe she'll need more than R&R. Chat was walking towards her in slow cautious steps, as if predicting she'll run off, which he would have been right too. He caught her off guard and after looking into his eyes, she found herself unable to leave, even as her miraculous beeped.

Chat Noir reached over and took her hand, raising to his lips, but then thought better of it. Now was not the time to be flirty. He needed to give Marinette her space to register what had happened. Still. They needed to talk.

"Do you want to go somewhere and talk?" It might have been put into a question, but the hopeful look in his eyes, said it was important. Ladybug found she couldn't refuse. "Okay…"

He nodded his head, whispering, "Your bakery." Then extending his staff and catapulting to a nearby roof, already making his way to her house. Ladybug sighed for possibly the millionth time today. How did she get so wrapped up into this mess? Ugh.

Swinging her yo-yo, the red clad hero swung to bakery, lading on the balcony, transformed and then going through the trap door down to her room. She wasn't at all surprised to find her kitty, laying face down on her bed, head nuzzling into her body pillow as if it were his own.

"Kitty, stop that, you're going to make my pillow smell bad." She scolded lightly, an amused smile pulling at her lips.

"Oh," He purred in reply, shooting her his famous Cheshire grin. "My Lady, did you know when cats rub themselves against stuff they're leaving behind their scents as a way of marking what's theirs?"

"So you're stealing my pillow?"

He smirked, "I'm just marking what I hope to be mine." She rolled her eyes, hands resting on her hips as she played along, "You can always buy one at the local market, they're still on save for five bucks."

He shook his head, blonde hair swishing around messily, "The pillow is nice, but I want something more realistic." Her face turned red and she instantly looked away, avoiding his half lidded gaze.

"My Lady," his voice suddenly dropped to a serious tone. "We need to talk."

"Aren't we already talking?" She asked still refusing to see him. She could hear her bed creak and groan, then soft foot-steps made their way closer to her. A black, clawed hand, gently cupped her chin, turning her head to face his emerald gaze. "You know what I mean." His face was closer now, their noses nearly touching and he continued. "Marinette, I'm not going to go out and say I don't understand what's going on. I'm not going to say that I haven't had the same feelings before and I'm definitely not going to say that I'm only pursuing you because you're my lady.

"I know you're scared and I was too when I learned your identity. Not because I was disappointed, I could never be disappointed, but because I thought you would hate me."

"I could never hate you, Chat. What would give you that idea?"

He shrugged, "Well you were always so comfortable with Chat Noir. With Adrien it was like you were intimidated by me or something. I honestly thought it was because of my dad." He couldn't suppress his chuckle, watching her eyes widen as another deep blush began to flood her face. "Then, Nino told me about your crush, how you were get so tongue tied around me and couldn't form the right words.

"He said I was clueless, and I was, I would never have guessed you cared about me that much. I know you need time to consider everything, Marinette. And I respect that. I'm not going to force you to be with me. If you still believe I only love Ladybug, then please let me get to know you, Marinette, as your friend first. I promise I won't make you regret it."

It suddenly became hard to breathe. The way his eyes flooded with so much passion. How close they were, she licked her lips, suddenly finding them to be uncomfortably dry. "Do-do you really mean that?"

"With all my heart, Princess," He confirmed. "I won't force you. Just please understand that my love is genuine and that I will always be your partner, even if you don't see me as anything more than a friend." His hand moved to stroke her cheek. He lowered his voice to a little whisper, "I love you."

She jumped up, mouth pressed to his in an eager kiss. It was impossible to deny those words, any girl would have fallen over from weak knees at the passionate speech he just give her. Her arms circled around his neck, pulling him closer.

Adrien had been so surprised by this that his brain went numb for a second. The power of emotions she was pouring into their lip lock was overwhelming. Chills race throughout his whole being as he returned the mind blowing kiss, arms wounding around her waist, their faces molded together.

When they finally pulled away bother were breathless, panting to fill their greedy lungs. "Wow." Was all they could mutter, pupils blown wide open as if realizing what they just did. "Wow."

Chat cleared his throat, "So," he started. "Do you still need some time?"

"I might."

His heart fell. What?

"I might need time to get over the fact that someone finally learned my secret identity." Her smile sharpened to a smirk, showing off some Ladybug charm. "But considering it's you, I guess I'll manage."

He purred in response, quickly pecking her lips. "I guess this means we'll be spending more time together, Bugaboo."

"Ugh! And I thought you would stop with the nicknames and cat puns!"

He barked a laugh, "No way. Sorry M'lady. Now you're committed with this cat then you're committed to the puns too."

She rolled her eyes, "Well I guess it can't be any worse."

"Don't ruin our purr-fect moment, Purr-incess."

"Really!"

AN: And so concludes the final chapter to my first Ladynoir story that didn't really have much of a plot other than an excuse for me to write. XP. Sorry if you guys wanted more chapters, I couldn't come up with anything since, as I said before, I'm new trash, but hopefully I'll be able to write longer and better stories about this ship and more! :D Thank you guys for the reviews!
