Marinette didn't remember falling asleep. She remembered talking to Tikki and the next moment, she was walking down the sidewalk to her parents bakery. She didn't realize it was dream but she knew she couldn't wait to get some fresh cheesecake. She reached for the door, stopping as she heard a noise.

"Purrincess," Chat sang loudly, attracting her attention.

"Chat?" She turned toward his voice.

"I know a secret."

"Oh yeah? What's that?"

"I know your secret."

Marinette's eyes grew wide, "Wh-what secret?"

"I know you're Ladybug."

"I-I'm not La-Ladybug."

"I know you are. I can't believe I was ever in love with someone like you."

"Chat," Marinette cried.

"You're so different. I mean, no wonder no one could guess that you were Ladybug."

"Chat-"

"You're a klutz and you aren't anything like her."

"But I am Ladybug."

"I don't think so."

"But, Chat-"

"You will never be Ladybug. You aren't brave, you aren't courageous, you aren't anything like she

is," Chat said in a deep voice. "You can'tbe my Ladybug."

"But I am!" Marinette cried. "I am Ladybug!"

"You aren't."

"Chat, stop it!" Tears streaming down her face.

"I'm so disappointed that it's you."

She awoke with a gasp and Tikki sprang up, ready to fight. The thought of the little kwami ready to fight on her own almost made her laugh. Her dream came rushing back to her and she burst into tears again.

"Marinette, what's wrong? What happened?"

"I-I had a dream Chat knew I was Ladybug and he," she took in a shaky breath. "He hated that it was me."

"Oh, Marinette," the kwami said, moving to cuddle against her cheek.

"Tikki, what if Ch-Chat hates that it's me?"

"He won't. He loves you, both sides of you."

"But he's in love Ladybug. I can't compete with that."

"You are Ladybug! You were chosen and you're doing an amazing job at it. If he doesn't think you're great in both ways then he's an idiot."

Marinette was quiet for a moment, "Thanks, Tikki."

A sharp knock came from her window and she jumped at the noise. She saw Chat waving at her and she sighed. She opened the trapdoor to find an excited look on Chat's face.

"Princess! I'm glad you're still awake! I-" he stopped when he saw her face. "Marinette, what's wrong?"

The look of concern almost made her start crying again, "I just. Um. I had a bad dream."

"Do you want to talk about it?"

"I'd have to be very vague," she said, climbing up to stand on her balcony.

"Try me," he encouraged.

"I dreamt you were disappointed in me."

"Marinette, I could never be disappointed in you. I love you, you're one of my best friends."

"I know that but-"

"There is nothing you could do that would make me disappointed in you, okay? Whatever it is that you think I'd be disappointed in you for, won't happen. I promise."

Tears started to form in her eyes and she hugged him tightly. He hugged her back and nuzzled his face into her neck. He didn't know how long she hugged him, but he knew that he wasn't going to be the first one to let go.

"Thanks, Chat," she said, softly.

"I have nightmares too, Princess. I know how it feels."

"What does the great fearless hero of Paris fear?"

"You'd be surprised."

She leaned back with a questioning look on her face, "Do you need to talk?"

"Okay so you know how Ladybug and I haven't revealed our identities to each other?"

"I did not," she mentally rolled her eyes. "But go on."

"Well I fear she wouldn't like the me underneath the mask. I wear two masks and I'm sure she'd like the person under the first mask but I'm not sure about the second mask."

"Who's under the second mask?"

He got quiet, "A very sad, small, insecure boy who just wants to be loved."

She blinked and placed a hand on his cheek, "I would love that boy. I already do."

"Here I am trying to make you feel better and you ended up making me feel better."

"We're both a little broken," she gave him a half smile. "I'm glad you're here. It actually made me feel a lot better.

"I'm glad I could assist, Princess."

"What's the real reason you came over?"

"Oh! I got you a present!"

"Yeah?"

He reached into the bag he was carrying and pulled out a small black cat plushie, "So you always have something to remember me by!"

"I already have a trash can, why would I need this?" She deadpanned.

"Princess!"

Marinette laughed loudly and they continued talking until the two of them were talking through yawns. Chat bid her a goodnight with a hug.

"Night, Kitty."

"No more nightmares, Princess."

"I'll try."

"Goodnight. Sweet dreams."

"Same to you."

He jumped from one roof to the next and disappeared. Marinette went back to bed, letting Tikki cuddle herself in her neck. She found herself being able to fall asleep easily, without anymore nightmares.
