Here's yet another reveal! I have the beginning of another class reveal written, but I just had to do this one first. that's how it is with these one shots - I have a random idea at like 11 at night and I have to write it out. Anyway, here's the actual story, enjoy!

Chat Noir was running.

Beep.

Beep.

His ring was singing a desperate song of plea, reminding him harshly that he had only seconds before he transformed back into Adrien. Ladybug was still at the scene of the akuma where she was almost certainly holding her own against Hawkmoth's latest victim. This time it was some girl who was convinced that the Harry Potter series was real. When her friends had scorned her and laughed at her attempts to make a Hogwarts in Paris, she had got angry. Now she was Metamorphmagus – a villain who could shapeshift into any Harry Potter character or creature. When Chat had left to detransform, Dobby the house elf had been terrorising people on the streets, but from the sneers that he could now hear, Chat figured it was probably Draco Malfoy.

Not that he would admit it, but Chat loved Harry Potter and all books really. He was constantly reading fanfiction online (it got awkward the few times he stumbled across ladynoir fanfiction) and he even set up a fan account – under a fake name of course.

But his obsessions aside, he really needed to detransform. Plagg was being awesome and holding out for as long as he could, but Chat knew that the kwami was going to be utterly exhausted afterwards and Chat did not have enough camembert on him.

His head flailed wildly about as he ran, searching for somewhere.

There was nothing.

No alleys, no doorways, not even a dumpster or something.

Chat was getting really desperate now. His ring had all but run out and he knew that Plagg wouldn't last much longer. It was then that he spotted a familiar house with a ridiculously convenient open backdoor. It took him a while to register that this was Marinette's house and probably the storage room for her parent's bakery but that didn't really matter. It was somewhere he knew and somewhere private. No one would notice.

Chat Noir ducked inside the door and released both his transformation and a sigh of relief. Plagg slumped in front of him and Adrien quickly fished around in his pocket for a piece of Plagg's pungent food. He only had a small piece, but it was something and Plagg eagerly devoured it.

Then Adrien turned around.

His eyes met four others.

All six widened.

Tom and Sabine Dupain Cheng stepped out into the light, still staring as if they couldn't believe their eyes.
Adrien was frozen with his arm still in the air from giving Plagg his cheese. The latter happily chewed; completely unaware that something catastrophic (Adrien couldn't help himself) was going on.

No one said anything for a moment and Adrien could feel the tension in the room like a rubber band pulled to its maximum capacity.

It could snap at any moment.

Tom was the one who did it.

"You-" he pointed dubiously at Adrien. "You're – " his hand shook in pure shock. "Chat Noir."

Adrien nodded nervously.

Mr Dupain shook his head incredulously as if hoping it was just the hazy cobwebs of a dream.

Although she looked like she wanted to burst out with whatever numerous questions she had, Sabine kept her cool.

"Adrien, dear, come into the kitchen and we'll talk."

He shook his head. "I – I have to go. Ladybug's waiting."

"Oh okay then." Sabine said calmly. "Is there anything you need?"

Adrien glanced at Plagg who had long since finished the piece of cheese. "Do you have any camembert?"

Ignoring the still questioning man by her side, Sabine nodded and vanished into the kitchen. She came out again with two wheels of the stuff.

"We have these left over from our batch if cheese bread." She explained. "You can have it if you want."

"Thanks a lot." Adrien said happily. "Here you go, Plagg." He handed said kwami one of the wheels and he made quick work of it. Seeing the surprised look on Sabine's face, he quickly explained about kwamis before turning to his. "Thank you, Mrs Dupain Cheng. I have to go now though."

"That's fine dear." She replied. "Drop by later on if you can. I think my husband may need a little more explaining before he wraps his brain round it. Oh and Adrien, call me Sabine."

Adrien smiled happily. "Thanks, Sabine. Plagg," he turned to the kwami who's content face rapidly turned to a panicked one as Adrien shouted, "Claws out!"

"But I wasn't finished!" Plagg wailed. He was sucked into the ring despite his pleas and soon Chat Noir stood in the place of Adrien Agreste. He waved goodbye to a smiling Sabine Dupain Cheng and vaulted expertly over a chimney to find lord Voldemort fighting Ladybug.

"Hey m'lady!" he called, earning himself a glance from the love of his life.

"Hi kitty." She replied not turning away from the akuma. "Could I have a bit of help here? You strike me as the sort of person who knows Voldemort better than I do."

His hand went to his chest as he let out a fake gasp. "How did you know, bugaboo?"

"I already know you're a huge nerd, Chat. And don't call me that!"

"Yes m'lady."

She sighed. "Silly kitty!"

Chat shrugged and begun to spin his baton. His mouth was stretched into a wide smile that, however much she tried to hide it, was mirrored by his partner as they whirled around, perfectly in tune with each other and sending stupid quips and jokes back and forth.

This was what Chat loved.


In the living room of the Dupain Cheng household, two parents sat and watched the news coverage of the latest akuma attack with grins plastered all over their faces. It was a little nerve racking knowing that the silly cat who made puns and fought so bravely was the boy their daughter was so infatuated with – he seemed such a nice boy too – but they could see just how much both he and Ladybug enjoyed what they did. That was what put the warmth in their hearts because a little enjoyment was just what Adrien Agreste needed in his life.

A sudden chime of the doorbell made Sabine start a little and jump up from her seat to open the door. She smiled at the boy who waited patiently outside and gestured to the sofa. "come in Adrien." She smiled and led him over, offering him a seat. He thanked her and sat down, beaming at the two equally happy faces looking at him.

Adrien shuffled down into a more comfortable position and let a tiny giggle escape his mouth.

Having a family felt good.

Adrien needs protecting at all costs! (And I can totally see him as a Harry Potter nerd just like me.) once again, Marinette's parents are amazing and I love them.
