A/N: I know I am really bad about updating on time, but eh. Have you guys seen episode 10! Loved it! And anyway, I was thinking of ending the story here. Last chapter?

The two superheroes once again found themselves sitting at the top of the Eiffel Tower. The quiet silence aloud them sift through their jumbled and mixed feelings. It was madness inside each of their heads.

"So," Cat Noir said, breaking the heavy silence. "Christmas is tomorrow. I suppose you'll be wanting to spend Christmas with your family? I'll do patrol by myself I guess." He sighed, not wanting to spend his first Christmas without his mother alone.

"Yah, I probably will. Thanks for understanding," Ladybug said, sincerely meaning it.

"Yah, I have one question Ladybug. Do you really love me?" his eyes filled with hope as he turned to look at her.

This was what she had been waiting for. Looking deep inside her feelings, she took a deep breath to answer.

"Yes, Cat Noir I love you. There was this other boy I had a crush on named Adrien, but he never noticed me. Now I realize that I really do love you kitty. Your puns are a pun-ishment to mankind, but they're cute and actually pretty good. And, I've also realized how much I depend on you and-and."

She started to ramble and stopped with a blush. "I'm sorry, was that-"

Cat Noir pressed his lips against hers, melding, pulling her into a kiss. Her hands tangled in his silky hair. He clutched her waist, pressing their warm bodies closer together. They lost all sense of where they were, only thinking of each other.

A hot fire burned in her stomach, thinking about Cat Noir. She was herself with him, her closest friend, someone she could tell everything to. She cared about him so much, felt his pain. And she realized that Adrien was nice and sweet and handsome, but Cat Noir made her laugh. She didn't get stressed every time she saw him. Her heart beat faster and the fire burned brighter. I love Cat Noir.

"Ladybug, Ladybug! Is it true that you and Cat Noir are really dating?" Nadja Chamack held her microphone out, jamming into their personal space.

"And are you alright after that akuma? Reports say that you were seriously injured."

"Nadja, we would happily answer your questions at another time. But-"

"Can you confirm tonight that you are a quote-un-quote couple of superheroes."

Cat Noir's arm wrapped around her waist. "M'lady doesn't want to talk right now. Oh, and cat's out of the bag if you can't see it." He grinned at the little pun, before extending his pole and vaulting into the air, Ladybug right behind him.

She gave him a quick kiss on the cheek. "Thank Chat, I don't know what I would do without you."

A blush heated his cheeks. "So are we a quote-un-quote couple, bugaboo?"

"Yes, kitty, yes we are. Merry Christmas." They leaned in for another passionate kiss. Something still wormed its way into her mind though. What about Adrien? Do I still like him? And why is he suddenly showing interest in the Marinette me now?

Far away, in a well known, cold, empty mansion on the other side of Paris, a green tinted window closed, moths fluttering all around.

"You may have defeated Mistletoe, but I now know of your love. And why manipulate strength when I can use you against each other." A evil laugh ripped from his throat as a plan formed in the back of his mind. "Yes, yes, that is perfect."

Christmas Eve the next day came quickly. An akuma had to be fought because Ladybug wrongfully accused Santa of being a villain when Adrien disappeared. He ended up having a great Christmas dinner at his house with all his friends. At the dinner, he pulled Marinette aside to his room.

"Come on Marinette, I want to show you my room."

Marinette's heart squealed in joy, but not in the way it used to. They came to a stop in front of his computer screens, the picture of Adrien's mother glowing brightly.

"She's got your eyes," they said at the same time. Both blushed. If I didn't already know she was Ladybug, that would have been very deja vu, Adrien thought. He gripped her warm hand tighter.

"I got you a present," he said, grinning in the way that made Marinette's heart ache.

"But Adrien, I didn't get you a present though."

You already did. "That's alright. Here you go. Merry Christmas Marinette." He handed her a small gift box with a red bow around it. She delicately unwrapped the box, carefully not tearing the paper. Inside the box held a small locket, simple, but pretty.

"Oh Adrien, you didn't have to get me anything." The gold glinted lazily in her small palm. A blush escaped her face, dusting her pale cheeks with pink.

She turned to put it on, lifting her pigtails up. This is the first time she's been able to speak in a complete sentence to me as Adrien. "Here, let me do that." He grabbed the latches and gently fastened it around her smooth neck. "You look beautiful Marinette."

Her faint blush blossomed into a deep red, as red as her Ladybug suit. "Thanks Adrien." He liked the way she said his name with care and thought. "Merry Christmas." The stars glittered outside as the snow fell in small mounds on the ground.

And the Alya and Nino barged in.

"I knew you guys were in here!" she practically yelled, dragging Nino over to them.

"Yah, you dudes just disappeared. What were you two doing anyway." He raised an eyebrow questioningly.

"Ah nothing. I was just giving her a Christmas present." He rubbed the back of his neck.

"Ooookay, well anyway. We were just about to go home, so I came to get Marinette. Well bye Adrien. Come on, we're going"

Marinette waved and turned around before she was pulled out bye Alya. "Bye Adrien, have a good Christmas. And thanks for the present." And with that, she exited the mansion with her family and Alya.

"So girl, anything you want to tell me? What were you really doing with Agreste? Are you sure anything didn't happen?" Her inner reporter instincts kicked in and she bombarded Marinette with questions.

"Nothing. It's just like Adrien said, he was giving me a Christmas present."

"Alright. Well, why weren't you freaking out and melting into a puddle on the carpet?" She glanced suspiciously at her friend.

"Well, I guess I can just control myself more now. You wouldn't want to have to clean up after me would you?" she giggled. I guess I like Cat Noir more than I like Adrien. It was good to finally be able to talk to him. Maybe they could actually become better friends.

The car pulled in front of the house. "Well, bye Alya. See you tomorrow. Have a Miraculous Christmas."

A/N: Maybe I'll write a sequel.
