Marinette found Cat Noir to be a pretty awesome helper. He seemed to be enjoying himself as well. Still, Marinette wondered how he knew all of this. So, she asked. Cat Noir in response turned to face her with an unusual look of seriousness on his face.

"Cat?"

"Are you sure you want to know?" he asked.

"Are you ready to tell me?"

Cat sighed, the time had come. He knew he could trust Marinette. So, with another long sigh, he detransformed allowing Marinette to see who he really was. In response, the shocked girl fainted. Adrien smiled at the reaction as he scooped Marinette up and placed her on the bed. He sat and waited for her to wake up, keeping a close eye on her just to make sure she was alright and did not need medical attention. He knew she would have questions when she woke up. Lots of questions but, he would be ready.

…...


Marinette woke up struggling to remember why she had fallen asleep in the first place. As she sat up she caught sight of Adrien and remembered. Adrien was CAT NOIR. The boy she had been crushing on forever was CAT NOIR.

CAT NOIR WAS ADRIEN FREAKING AGRESTE

At that moment, Marinette couldn't help but feel her life was that of a soap opera and that somewhere perhaps, in another world people were watching her on television and predicting how this would play out.

Why was her life so complicated?

She cleared her throat getting Adrien's attention. Marinette tried to ignore the posters of Adrien on her walls that seemed to be teasing her now

"Are you alright Marinette?" he asked as if the posters weren't even there to begin with.

"You Cat same," she managed to choke out.

"Yes, we are the same person," Adrien laughed.

Her brain was moving a million miles an hour but the poor teen wasn't able to form words.

"Take all the time you need Mari," Adrien said in gentle reassurance.

Sweet, kind Adrien had the patience of a saint. He wasn't even aware that inside Marinette was screaming, wheezing and just trying desperately to wrap her head around the bombshell he had dropped on her. Perhaps she was going to be broken forever doomed to wind up in a mental hospital cut off from the rest of the world in a soft padded cell where she would spend the rest of her days drooling mindlessly into the floor as nurses looked on shaking their heads in pity.

Marinette shook the dark scenario from her mind as she struggled to form her next question.

"How?" she squeaked.

Adrien laughed a bit before telling the story of how he became the hero Cat Noir. It was all very interesting but still overwhelming to Marinette who nodded dumbly when she was asked if she understood. This was no doubt going to take some getting used to.

…...


That night Marinette was unable to sleep. The news she had received that day had given her the world's worst case of insomnia ever known to man. She sat on her bed with her knees pulled up to her chest. Adrien and Cat Noir were the same person. It dawned on Marinette that the hero of Paris trusted her with his identity. Cat Noir trusted her enough to show her that he was in fact,

ADRIEN AGRESTE!

Yes, her life was a soap opera. Even now she could hear the suspenseful, serious music. How was she ever going to have a normal conversation with the hero now? She would choke on her words and die a melodramatic death she was sure of it. Her parents would weep at the funeral where they would sob about how she had been so young and undeserving of such a fate.

Marinette shook her head once more. Where in the name of luck did she think of such things? Marinette made up her mind. She was going to have a normal conversation with Adrien.

Hopefully.


Okay, first off I would like to thank you all for following and favoriting this story. Now, I would like to point something out. A long, long time ago I got a review telling me that it's supposed to be Chat Noir and not Cat Noir but I already knew that and I have read fan fictions where it's Cat. I used Cat Noir because that's what it is in the English version of the show which I binge-watched on Netflix. I hope this doesn't anger people. Please leave a review and predict what will happen next. Until next time.
