Hey everyone! I've decided to release this a week early! I will release a new chapter at least once each week, on Friday. If I get 25 follows and 25 favorites on this book, I'll release an extra chapter! Also my "Watching Miraculous" first episode will be up by tomorrow! Here you go!

"Marinette! If you're going to ask him, just do it!" The reporter nudged.

"A-alya, I think I'm feeling sick! I should go home before anyone catches it!" The bluenette explained.

"Girl, the only sickness you have is the love bug. If only this counted as an emergency... Then we could get Ladybug to teach you to be confident and get your butt over there!"

"Hehe... yeah..."

Adrien and Nino walked over to them, Nino and Alya having previously schemed for this.

"Hey girls! Alya, can I get some help? I need someone to check out my latest music." The DJ asked.

"Sure!" Was the reply. "Just do it, girl!" She whispered to her friend walking by.

"H-hey Adrien... I-i need to ask y-you so-something..." Marinette stuttered.

"Sure! Go ahead!" The model replied, smiling.

"Willyougooutwithme?" She mumbled.

"What?"

"You... date... out... me?" She managed to repeat, mentally facepalming herself.

"Oh..." The smile faltered on his face as he spoke. "I'm sorry Marinette, but I'm in love with someone else. Please don't take it the wrong way! I'd love to stay friends!" He quickly stated, his efforts to cheer her up failing desperately.

"Iiits okay! It's okay! I'm just going to go..."

Tears welling up in her eyes, she ran off. Alya and Nino were listening via a bug the DJ planted on his friend earlier. "I've got to get to Mari! I don't want an akuma." Alya explained, rushing off.

Nino walked over to his friend, draping his arm around Adrien's shoulder. "Why did you reject her, dude?"

Adrien jumped, clearly startled by his friend's knowledge. "How did you know?"

"Dude, it's obvious that she liked you. That and Alya told me her plans. Do you remember how your 'dad' gave you that scarf, instead of the pens one year?"

"Yeah. It was so nice!"

Nino took a sharp intake, knowing what he was about to say might crush his friend. "That was Marinette. She forgot to put her name on it, and when she saw how happy it made you that your dad got it for you, she pretended that was what really happened."

"Oh... But, Nino, I'm still in love with someone else..."

"Do they love you back, like Marinette?" Those were the DJs final words before he went to find his girlfriend, leaving Adrien in deep thought.

Later that night on patrol, Adrien had finally decided to do it. He wanted to know if his Lady would finally be his.

"M'Lady?"

"Yes, Chaton?" She stated briskly.

"Are you okay?"

She sighed, sitting down on the tower. "No... I finally got the courage to ask my crush out, and he rejected me!"

"Well, I hope you won't reject me."

"Kitty, what are you talking abo-"

"Ladybug whatever-your-last-name-is-cause-you-won't-tell-me, will you do me the honor of being my girlfriend?"

"Chat Noir... I... Can't. I'm sorry, but I'm still in love with him." The leather clad boy backed away slowly, standing up.

"Oh..."

"Kitty! I still want to be partners, and I like you! Just as a friend..."

"Now I know how she felt..." He mumbled.

"What?"

"Nothing. I need some time to think. Do you mind?" He said quietly, a hoarse whisper in his voice.

"Of course, Chaton."

And with that, she was gone.

"Poor Marinette... And she didn't even get akumatized! How strong do you have to be to get rejected and not akumatized?"

In his head, Plagg's voice rang out. 'Actually kid, miraculous wielders don't get akumatized.'

"But Marinette couldn't hold a miraculous! She's clumsy, too clumsy to be Ladybug. And she's way too nice to be Hawkmoth. Although, if she was Ladybug, that would be pretty ironic..."

With that, he decided on where he was going. He wasn't even remotely aware, he was lost in thought. But his feet carried him where he needed to go.

"I can't believe I hurt Chat that badly, Tikki! I mean, I didn't realize he was serious! But I love Adrien!" Tikki quickly flew into Marinette's purse and whispered, "Turn around!"

When she turned around, she saw Chat Noir land on her balcony. "Hey Chat Noir." She stated blandly, opening the door for him. "Why are you here? Need me to help with another akuma? Or maybe teach you how to fight one without sacrificing yourself for Ladybug?" She mumbled the last sentence, but his cat hearing heard every word. "Me-ouch, princess! I only do my job."

"Well, maybe Ladybug doesn't like when you do your job that way." Shy Marinette had taken a backseat, as Angry Ladybug took the wheel. "Maybe, she doesn't like the fact that you DIE for her! Maybe it makes her feel guilty! Maybe it makes her feel guilty because she does have feelings for you, but it makes her feel like she's cheating on her crush!"

Chat Noir was taken aback by this new, angry Marinette, something she had never been to Adrien. "Calm down, Princess. I was just checking in. And how do you know so much about Ladybug, perchance?"

"I-er," Shy Marinette was back again. All confidence was gone. "We're really good friends. She CHATS with me after PETrol almost every night." 'Oh god, did I just make two puns in one sentence?' She thought, mentally facepalming herself.

"Were those puns, Purrincess? Besides the point. What else has Ladybug told you about me? Who does she like? What has she told you? OH! Do you know who she is?"

"Yep..." She mumbled under her breath, forgetting about Chat's hearing until it was too late.

"You KNOW? You know who Ladybug is?! And you haven't told anyone?!" For that he received a slap to the face.

"NO! Why would I tell anyone, you dumb cat!"

"So, I'm guessing you won't tell me?"

"Nope!"

"Well, what else has she told you? Do you know why she keeps rejecting me?"

"She likes you, Chat, but she doesn't know how to tell you. You do seem like a player. How many girls does your civilian form flirt with? Besides, her crush rejected her, and she's not sure whether to move on to you, or to keep hoping her crush would come around. And if she did, would you eventually reject her when you find out who she is?"

"I would never do something like that! I care for M'Lady incredibly! I don't even flirt with people in my civilian identity! Why won't she believe me? Marinette, how else can I prove I love her? I'd die for her, and I have! But I wouldn't take back any one of those hits for M'Lady." He whimpered, tears starting to run from his eyes.

"Oh, Chat... I never knew you cared so much! I'm so sorry..." She gave him a big hug, tears filling her eyes at her own actions.

He looked down at her and had a revelation. 'She got rejected just like me, but here she is, comforting me, a superhero, crying over me, feeling sorrow for me. But I made her feel like I do now. She is strong and amazing. What type of friend am I?'

"Do you like Adrien Agreste that much?" He said, indicating the posters, trying to get the attention off of him-er, that him.

"Yeah."

"Why? He's just some model, a pretty face, a pawn of his father. What do you see in that guy? You deserve someone better."

"Now listen, Chat and you listen well! He's sweet, kind, funny, and he's strong, even though he's been through a lot. Just because you got your heart broken doesn't mean I'll let you talk badly about my... friend, I think." With that, she sighed, letting Chat see the desperation and brokenness in her eyes.

"Wow... Here I am, talking about my crush and bombarding you with questions, even though you got rejected too. I-I'm sorry, Marinette. If I could show you who I am, I would beg forgiveness, and I would never let you go. I don't care about Ladybug anymore. I'm moving on to you."

"Chat... Beg for... forgiveness... Does that mean...?"

"Oh crap! Did I say that out loud?!"

"Nononono...Adrien?!"

"SurPURRise?"

"Oh, I'm so sorry, Kitten! I love you! All of you! I'm sorry for rejecting you! I'll never do it again! I love you, Chaton!Now it's my turn. You really want to know who Ladybug is?"

"Of course, but what do you mean, reject m-"

"Tikki, spots on..." She whispered through tears.

A blinding flash of light filled the room.

"Hey, Chaton. Will you be my boyfriend?" She laughed through tears, as he picked her up in a warm, loving hug, tears running down both their faces as they laughed at their own stupidity.

"I'm so sorry, M'Lady! I can't believe I rejected you!"

"The feeling is mutual, Adrien."

When they finally finished hugging, Marinette walked over to her open door and called out, "Race you to the Eiffel tower!"

"No fair, M'Lady!" He shouted, chasing after her. Unfortunately for both of them, Alya followed Chat Noir and had been hanging out by Marinette's door, listening to their moment.

At school the next day, Alya grabbed Marinette and pulled her into the girl's bathroom.

"Marinette! I found out a huge secret! You know who Ladybug is! I was chasing Chat Noir and saw he went to your place! I heard him shout that you know who Ladybug is! Why didn't you tell me?!"

"Well, see, I can't betray Ladybug's trust, because she trusts me not to tell anyone-"

"You mean you trust yourself not to tell anyone?"

"Yeah, exac-" She froze, staring at the reporter next to her.

"You heard the entire thing, didn't you?"

"Yup! Are you dating Adrien now? OOH! Are Ladybug and Chat Noir dating now? You owe me interviews!"

Alya was ranting ("How could you not tell me?!" And "Are you two a thing?!") the entire way back to class.

They took their seats and Marinette passed a note to Adrien, explaining what happened, and asking if he wanted to tell Nino. They did, and Alya came too, wanting to see them transform. Then Alya got the Fox miraculous, Chloe got the Bee miraculous, Sabrina got the Peacock miraculous, Nino got the Turtle miraculous, and Nathanael eventually got the Butterfly miraculous, after they defeated Hawkmoth.

A/N

I feel like these people should get these miraculouses! I mean, Alya and Chloe have already been told to get these, and I think the rest are a given. Has anyone seriously looked at Sabrina's color choices in outfits? It's like a friggin peacock!
