When Adrien got home from the photo shoot in the Art College, he felt he was on cloud nine, 'what would Marinette be thinking about, and when will she figure out', he asked himself. With a smile on his face he got to his house, he looked at his phone for the time but was bombarded with texts from Matt and there was a lot of kissy faced and winky face emojis, he ignored them. When he opened his door he found Nino and Alya playing his Xbox in his living room, "What are you guys doing here?" he asked casually as he shed his jacket.

"Waiting for you to get over here to play," Nino responded while intensely playing his game with Alya.

"I play winner," Adrien relaxed on the couch.

"I brought food," Alya said.

"Thanks, I'll eat later tho," Adrien responded. He watched the intense game between them, and began to daydream, a smile grew on his face and didn't realize that that Alya and Nino were calling his name.

"Dude, earth to Adrien, Hello? Alya won do you want to play her or what?" Nino asked.

"Oh sure," he said as he got out of his daydream, "I'll play."

"Dude why are you so distracted? She will beat the shit out of you if you let her win, I would know," Nino said teasingly.

Alya shoved him, " Hey what's with you, where is that 'I'm a model' atmosphere?" Alya said as she handed Adrien the Xbox controller.

"Sorry I've just had a great photo shoot," a goofy smile came over his face.

Alya and Nino gave each other a look, and smiled, "Dude what happened?" Nino asked.

"I found out where Ladybug goes to school, and I saw her but, she doesn't know I know who she is without the mask on," he blushed a little bit.

"Oh so you finally found out Marinette is Ladybug?" Alya interjected calmly.

"Wait! You knew and you didn't tell me?!" Adrien shoot up from his seat.

"We both knew, Alya knew from the beginning, being Marinette's best friend and works with her too," Nino said as he tried to hand Adrien the Xbox remote, " and I knew since we started to date. I guess we just wanted to watch how long it would take you to figure it out."

Adrien took the remote and sat back down, "That's not cool you guys, give a pal a hand."

"What you got to understand is that Marinette is a very shy bug, she has been hurt before and sometimes she gets ahead of herself, and then realizes how scared she is," Alya said to Adrien.

"Ya she told me about Nathanael, I also meet him today he is very red headed."

"YOU MEET HIM!" she yelled " What did Marinette do? She isn't ready to see him yet!"

"I saw that he cornered her, while I was in my photo shoot and I went to help her, he is a very persistent guy." he wanted to say more but worries on what Alya would do if she knew more.

"Ugh I'm going to have to talk to her about this," she face palmed herself.

"Do you still want to play?" he asked Alya.

"Yes, I have a feeling you are a better player than Nino."

"Hey I take offence to that!" Nino interjected as he got up to get some of the food they brought.

"Listen Adrien," Alya put her controller down, " Marinette is scared shitless of being hurt again, everyone is but she just got out of three year relationship, 7 months ago, moving on is hard. She puts on that mask to try to feel normal again and try to make herself more confident than she ever was when she Nathanael. So do you like her as Ladybug or Marinette? Nino and I can't tell you what to do, you have to figure it out. Now I'm going to Whoop your ass in this Game or what? Cuz I have to go to work soon and I want to know what I'm up against."

Adrien won against Alya, Alya swore revenge and Nino took her to work. So Adrien was left alone to his thoughts, he wanted to tell Marinette that he knew the truth. Not knowing if this was the right thing to do, and thought about what Alya said, does he like Ladybug or Marinette? He was first attracted to her voice, he just wanted to find out who possessed the voice that all in the beginning but she captivated him. She turned out to be amazingly talented in things that weren't just singing, she was kind and stood up for what she believed in, she didn't let thing bring her down, she is smart, witty, and shy. Liked everything about her even if she thought they were flaws, Ladybug is Marinette and Marinette is Ladybug he like her for her not one or the other.

He got up off his seat and decided that it was time to eat and get the ready for whatever he was going to do. He wanted to tell her but was not sure how she would talk to knowing that he found out, and he was actually scared of what would happen. Adrien had only been truly scared in his life only a handful of times, when his mother disappeared and when he father completely dismissed his existence as his son. How would she react when she knew that he knew, there was only one way to find out he had to tell her he knew.

He went to the club in his Chat Noir mask and ears, and tried to show as much confidence as he could, getting ready to tell her. When he got to the entrance of the club he noticed a familiar read head about to go into the club, without hesitation he reached out to stop him from entering and pulled him back. "You shouldn't go in there," Chat said with a serious voice.

"Who the hell are you?" Nathanael spat back as he shoved Chat Noir's hand off his shoulder.

In this instance he wanted to say, 'your worst nightmare' but thought better of it, so he took off the mask to how it was Adrien. "You don't want to go in there," he threatened.

"Oh it's the pretty boy, you should just mind your own business this doesn't involve you," Nathanael stood his ground angrily.

"You should be minding your own business cuz you have nothing to do with Marinette now and she is moving on," he said bitterly. "I know you saw us and now you are out of the equation so now you can't hurt her again."

"What do you know about her? You are just a pretty face that puts on a mask, that just sick. Marinette and me were meant to be together we are a perfect match for each other intellectually and creatively!"

"If you two were so damn perfect for each other you don't have to cheat on her, people who love each other don't bring another innocent person into the equation to ruin it for everyone who got involved. Did you even knew she sings? Did you know how hard she tries to make herself better at things she struggles in? Do you even care about her future or did that part skip you mind cuz everything was centered around you? Most importantly do you want her to be happy?" Adrien was angry that Nathanael had only cared about his emotions and his needs, not what was best for Marinette and her happiness. " This is so cliche but true in this instance, if you still care a centimeter about her let her go and and let her find her happiness. It may not be with you ever again you had your chance but she will be happy and that is the most important thing here."

Nathanael's face was almost as red as his hair, his nostrils were flared and eye were intense, "What do you know?!" he yelled.

"I know enough to let her make her own decisions," he said calmly.

"He stop making a scene," Ivan came from behind Nathanael and put his large arm around his shoulder and escorted him away from the entrance of the club.

Adrien thought about the words he had just said to Nathanael, did he care about what was best for her? Or was he just fulfilling his needs? Was it the right thing to tell her he knew? Or was it his right to tell her he knew? He just wanted her to like him the way he liked her but he wanted to make sure there was an outcome they both would like. He put on his mask looked at the sky and saw a shooting star, he wished that everything would turn out alright. He looked back down and saw Ladybug looking up at the sky too, a small smile came to his face, and went up to her.

She saw him walk off, not knowing if her feet worked, Chat Noir knew that she was Marinette. How long had he known? Was this a good thing or a bad thing? Did he hate her for not telling him? Was she ever going to tell him tho? Was she just going to string him along till she got too scared to do anything anymore? She didn't know how to feel standing there with scared out of her mind.

Ivan put his hand on her shoulder, " Are you okay?" he asked.

"I'm fine Ivan, nothing happened, I'm just going in now so I can go home, okay" she responded softly.

Ivan didn't want to push things so he let it go and Ladybug went back inside to sing her last song.

She was so distracted her last song suffered in consequence. She sung so half-heartedly and rushed off stage and headed to the back dressing room and freaks out what will she do? What does she say? Who should she be? Can she be both? Is she capable of that? Does he hate Marinette? But he kissed her or was that before he knew? Or was that all just acting? But they were going to have dinner but that was just to return a favor. What was she going to do!?

Alya came into the back dressing room worried about Marinette, "Hey girl are you okay?! We are all worried about you."

Tear weld up on Marinette's eyes, "Alya he knows I'm Marinette! What am I going to do!"

Alya laughed hysterically, "Is that what this is all about?! Girl he has known I guess he finally got the balls to tell you." she continued to laugh.

"Stop laughing!" she threw her sweater at her, "Its not funny what am I going to do? How am I going to face him!"

"Deal with it, you always do, I'm going back to my shift," she smiled and laughed on her way out.

Marinette goes home and doesn't sleep all that weekend so she focuses on her designs and making music. She is in a Haze of productive designs and works on the last of the Jagged Stone commission. She goes to work scared shitless that Adrien might show up at the club again but luckily he didn't. By the time Monday rolls around she has finished the final touches to Jagged's stage outfits that she was I charge of and the last of his logo on the fan merchandise clothing parts hangs it all on her trolley and heads to the Agrest fashion house to where she will have to see Adrien after all the that went down.

So when ever i post next were going to see who they ineract with each other in a professional setting in the Agrest fashion house ;)

My friend also made it known to me that my auto-correct was acting funny and was turning my went into when I tried fixing it so I hope that there are less spelling mistakes in this chapter. She also really wants me to make a genderbend and wants to help me with it but imma tell her no ;) just to see what she will do.
