"Chat,"
"Yeah?"
"Is it okay if I call you Adrien?"
He paused. "No one else can know. My identity must remain a secret."
"What about Ladybug? Dont you know each other's identities?" Marinette knew the answer, but she wanted a different perspective.
"This is my truest identity. Ladybug knows me, even if she doesn't know me. all I know is that she's purrfect. "
"Oh God." She groaned. "Why does your true identity love puns so much?"
"Meowch! You wound me princess."
"Good. Maybe it will get did if some of your obnoxious ego."
"Rude."
"You're the only friend I know, but you're the greatest person I know." Marinette smiled. "Thank you a for everything."
"It was somewhat my fault that you got hit in the head in the first place. It was just decency. I was worried about you."
"No one else was with me the whole time."
They hugged. "I should go princess. You need some sleep."
"My head hurts too much to sleep." She reached for his hand. "Stay with me."
"Okay."
"Can you tell me about myself." She giggled. "That sounds do conceited when I say it aloud."
"You are kind and caring. If someone forgot their lunch, you always give them half of yours. You are the second most selfless person I know."
"Second?"
"Only to Ladybug. You are very shy, and have a stutter, but it doesn't stop you from doing what's right."
"I don't have a stutter." She looked at his gorgeous face and blushed.
"And whenever you see me you blush. I was starting to think you were afraid of me or something."
"Why would I be afraid of you?"
"I'm not sure. You smile and wave, but you can barely talk to me. I thought you hated me."
She laughed. "I could never hate you now. You are my best friend. "
He smiled fondly at her. "Youre one of my best friends too."
Together, they sat on her balconey until the sun started to rise.
Marinette stared in awe as Chat Noir got ready to leave.
"The sunset is beautiful." She sighed.
"You know what else is beautiful princess?"
Marinette blushed and stammered. "I I don't k know."
"There's that stutter I love." He winked at her. "You know what else is beautiful? Me"
She rolled her eyes. "You are literally a model. Of course you're beautiful sunshine boy."
"I am darkness. I am vengeance. I am Chat Noir."
"You are a beautiful cinnamon roll too pure for this world."
"My princess thinks I am beautiful."
Marinette fake sighed. "And here I thought we were having a moment."
"I'm sorry to break your heart, but my love for Ladybug is true. You're my best friend."
She fake fainted, looking mock distressed and shocked. "How dare you reject me. I love you Chat Noir."
"I cannot love your mockery princess."
"What if I was Ladybug." shit. She wasn't supposed to reveal anything. To anyone. He probably knew everything now. She was a disaster.
He froze.
