" I can't, this was a mistake," he said looking down at his feet as more tears start to flow ' how can I tell you, how can I tell you that what I've been dreaming of for so long is right there yet I can't have it because it will mean the destruction of everything else I hold dear to me?' He looked into Ladybugs eyes just wanting her to stop asking questions and just hold him that's all he needed right now, after a year of trying to hold back the tears, staying strong for his father and then finding all this out he just couldn't hold back anymore.
"Why can't you tell me Chaton?" she questioned, seeing the fear in his eyes she asked the question she most wanted to know the answer to an answer that would stop hawkmoth while also help her to understand why her partner was so distraught about what he found out " who is he Chat?"
Chat just took a deep breath pole-vaulted to the very top of the tower where he looked out across all of Paris as he wished he wasn't in this situation ' sure let me be the son of a supervillain fine, sure, it's in every other story why not mine but my mother, why do you have to make me choose' he thought to himself as Ladybug swung her way up the tower to catch up to him.
"Please just tell me why you can't tell me the answer to any of my questions" she pleads knowing that she was pushing him to much " ill stop with the questions just answer this one so I can protect you for once," she said with a tear threatening to be released.
Chat took a breath imaging all his fear being absorbed into a balloon then released, releasing all his fear out of his body as he said what he knew chances are she would say no to yet also with a hint of hope that she will say yes since as they were so close to the end and may as well say yes " I can't tell you any of those answers without revealing my true identity"
There was silence both looking at each other knowing the other to be just as stubborn as them and that this could go on forever or until their miraculous' were basically telling them that they were going to detransform at any minute in which case they would go to a hiding spot or go home and rest.
