"You couldn't've let me transform?" Marinette hissed when they landed on her balcony. He smiled sheepishly.
"Nope!" he popped the "p" sound sarcastically. Marinette rolled her eyes.
"So what'd you wanna talk about?" Marinette asked.
"The Reveal. It was unexpected, but, I can't say I didn't like that it happened," Chat Noir explained.
"Yes, you can. You're disappointed. I can see it in your eyes," Marinette was on the verge of tears, but she didn't know why. Wow, she didn't know a lot of things today did she?
"Disappointed? Bugaboo, you've read me wrong. I couldn't be more ecstatic!" Chat Noir grabbed her hand & gave it a squeeze while Marinette broke down. He hugged her tight until his ring started beeping. Marinette pulled back & gazed into the gleaming green cat eyes of her kitten-like partner.
" You should go. You're about to change back," Marinette sniffled. Chat shook his head.
" No, Buginette. I'm not leaving you," Chat Noir said.
" But you'll transform back!"
" I know your identity. It's only fair that you know mine. Got any more excuses to throw at me?" Chat asked playfully. Marinette grunted, knowing that she didn't.
" No, I guess not. Do you want something to eat? I mean, I live above a bakery so we have a ton of food," Marinette asked. Chat smiled, knowing that once he de-transformed, Plagg would want some camembert.
"Got any camembert? And cookies?" Chat asked. Marinette crinkled her nose.
"Please tell me you're not planning on mixing those two items!" Marinette didn't know what she would do if she witnessed Chat eating the stinky cheese with the cookies. Probably throw up.
" Definitely not. The cheese is for my kwami, Plagg. The cookies, we could share," Chat explained, his ring beeping again. 3 minutes left till he turned back into his civilian form. Marinette nodded and headed down to the bakery. While she was gone, Chat Noir ended up changing back. About 6 minutes later, Marinette came back, carrying a plate of white, gooey cheese, & a box of chocolate chip cookies. She gasped when she saw Adrien Agreste, her crush of 2 years, standing on her balcony, looking out at the skyline.
"A-A-Adrien?! W-what are you d-doing h-here? W-where's C-Chat Noir?" Marinette stammered. Adrien chuckled.
" You still haven't caught on, Bugaboo?" That's when Marinette knew. Chat Noir was Adrien. Adrien was Chat Noir. They're one in the same.
" ADRIEN! WHERE'S MY CHEESE?!" a raspy voice yelled.
"I'm assuming that's Plagg?" Marinette said when a black cat-like creature flew out from behind Adrien.
"Yeahhhh…" Adrien said. Marinette giggled.
" Here. I think he wants this," Marinette went to hand Adrien the camembert when Plagg zipped to the plate and began chowing down on the sour-smelling substance. Marinette laughed and put the plate on the patio table. Then she handed Adrien the box of cookies.
" Enjoy. They just came out of the oven so they should be warm and chewy,"Marinette explained, walking over to the railing and gazing at the clouds. Adrien stepped beside her & opened the box of cookies. He took 2 out and offered one to her. She accepted & took a bite. She sighed as the chewy goodness filled her mouth. Adrien chuckled as he ate his cookie. His eyes widened as the chocolate went down his throat.
"Have you never had a cookie before?" Marinette asked. Adrien shook his head.
"No. My dad kept me on a model's diet. Meaning no sweets or anything fattening," Adrien explained, grabbing another cookie.
"He sounds like a huge jerk," Marinette noted.
"He is. Most of the time anyway. Whenever he's not being a jerk, he's avoiding me," Adrien said.
"That's terrible! Who does that to their kids?"Marinette exclaimed. Adrien shrugged.
"Eh. I got used to it, "Adrien said.
"You shouldn't've had to. That's just wrong."
"I know, but there's nothing I can do about it," Adrien said.
"How? Can't you just tell him off or something?"
"HA! If I do, he'll take me out of school & tell me you guys are a bad influence on me. And then he'll forbid me from leaving the house except for photoshoots," Adrien chuckled.
"Your dad's dumb. The only bad influence you would ever have is him and maybe Plagg," Marinette noted, finishing her cookie.
"Agreed."
"Sooo... subject change?" Marinette said," Why'd you come here?"
