Adrien lay face down in his bed. Everything was going so well between him and Marinette, but all of a sudden Ladybug said she and Marinette were the same person? What was he supposed to think? Of course he loved Ladybug at first, but then he decided to give up on her to see how things might turn out with Marinette. To top it all off, Ladybug told him so many time that she wasn't interested in him when he was Chat Noir. What changed? Did she only like the handsome model side of Adrien Agreste? He'd let a good amount of his silliness come out when they got comfortable as just plain Adrien and Marinette, did she hate that too?
Adrien rolled over to see Plagg hovering over his face. "Good God Plagg, you scared me." The surprise made him jump a little bit and his heart started to beat faster before he realized it was Plagg above him, and so close at that.
Plagg shrugged, "Looks like things have gotten a little complicated for you two."
Adrien groaned and covered his eyes with his arm. "I don't know what I'm supposed to do Plagg." He paused to think before continuing. "Not only has Marinette been keeping this a secret from me after I told her I was Chat Noir, but she doesn't even like Chat!"
Adrien let out a deep sigh. He could feel the tears start to form in his eyes. He wasn't one to cry, but it felt like everything he knew was a lie. He was so frustrated and angry.
"Woah woah woah!" Plagg stopped Adrien, "You know you're not supposed to share your identities. She was just abiding by the rule that you broke."
Adrien pulled his pillow over his head. This was not what he wanted to hear right now.
"On top of that," Plagg continued, "Ladybug didn't like Chat Noir because she was in love with Adrien! The same reason you didn't have eyes for Marinette because you were in love with Ladybug!" Plagg threw his arms in the air. "You two are hopeless. If you need me I'll be with my cheese."
Adrien moved the pillow from his face and sat up. "I guess you're right…" He trailed off.
"Well duh, of course I am." Plagg piped up. "I'm always right."
Adrien took his phone to message Marinette. If Plagg was right he should probably apologize.
He opened the conversation and stared at it, trying to think of what to say. As he contemplated what to write, his phone buzzed in his hand and there was a new message in their conversation.
Marinette 8:47PM - "Adrien I'm sorry, I want to talk about this"
Adrien felt a wave of relief.
Adrien 8:48PM - "I was just about to message you the same. Can you meet me at the Eiffel Tower?"
Marinette 8:48PM - "I'll be there in 10"
Adrien wiped the tears from his eyes and fixed his hair in the mirror. "Plagg let's go. We've got to fix this mess."
Plagg hugged his cheese, "Uh uh. No way. This is you problem, not mine!"
Adrien scoffed. Plagg could be so lazy sometimes. "Plagg, claws out!"
"Nooo!" Plagg whined as he was pulled into the miraculous.
Not three minutes later Chat Noir eagerly sa at the Eiffel Tower mid-way up. He was both excited to fix things with his lady, but nervous to face her after what he'd done.
A few minutes later Ladybug arrived, but stood a distance away from him.
"Listen Chat," She started, her voice trembling, trying to keep her composure.
He'd never seen her like this before. He felt terrible.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have kept this a secret from you. I just wanted to make sure that we would be safe when I did tell you who I truly was."
Chat shook his head and took her hands in his. "Don't be sorry, you were right." He smiled softly. "I overreacted and didn't think about why you kept it a secret." Chat paused to remember what Plagg had told him earlier. "How do you know we're safe to tell each other our identities though?" Chat's curiosity only growing.
Marinette smiled and squeezed his hands. "I defeated Hawk Moth and Mayura."
"You what?! Are you okay? Why didn't you ask for me help?" Chat's voice was filled with panic, even though it was already over, he was still scared for her.
Ladybug giggled. "I'm fine. I already gave both their miraculous to Master Fu, so we're safe now."
Chat looked at her with wide eyes. "No more akumas? No more traumatized citizens? No more putting ourselves in danger?"
Ladybug shook her head. "It's all over."
Chat picked her up and spun around. "You're amazing!" He cried. "I'm so glad it's you." he whispered as he set her down, then kissed he forehead.
Ladybug giggled. "Do you want to go on one last patrol? Just for fun." She asked, looking down at the city. Twinkling lights like stars on the ground filled her eyes. This was it. All her hopes were finally coming true.
Chat bowed and held out a hand, "I would love to, my lady." He looked up at her and winked.
Ladybug laughed, "You silly cat."
The two stood on the edge of the tower before jumping off and soaring over the city for what could be the last time.
