***Putting this warning right now! If you haven't watched the new Jubilation episode and don't like spoilers, I suggest you wait to read this or go watch the episode.***

Also, even though they are still the same age in the episode, I'm making them both closer to 18 in this story for mature topics later.

Who am I kidding?

Marinette thought to herself as she lay in bed staring up at her ceiling.

Jubilation.

The miraculous that lets oneself see their deepest desires. A strong feeling.

But, why did it show Cat Noir and I like that? We were happy, no doubt about that, but I didn't even know that it could work in unison to another's desires unless…

"Tikki." Marinette whispered. She sat up on her bed scanning the room for the red Kwami.

"Yes, Marinette?" She responded while rubbing one of her eyes.

"Can the miraculous of the pig cause two desires to overlap into a whole new desire?"

Tikki yawned while coming to rest in Marinette's lap knowing this wasn't going to be a simple yes or no answer. "If a single desire is being shown to two people, then that means those two individuals share a common desire. The miraculous of the pig cannot be altered by any one but those who wish to see what they desire."

Marinette's face dropped. That means those feelings she had for Cat Noir are true. Her deepest desire is to be with him. To get married. To start a family. All with him. She touched her lips. That kiss was real. The emotions Cat Noir had behind it were as real as hers. He felt everything she did.

"Did something happen Marinette?" Tikki asked concerned for her holder.

Marinette knew she couldn't keep something like this from her. After collecting her thoughts in one big breath, she decided to tell her Kwami all that happened from their fight with Dark Owl. The dark haired girl began to tear up again, reliving the moment when she "woke up" and realized it was just a dream.

Sad for her friend, Tikki flee over to wipe off a tear that had escaped down her friend's cheek. Marinette smiled at her. Then she continued with what happened once she broke out of the trance. Her most concerning thoughts were now realizing how angry Cat Noir had become after being pulled from the dream himself.

"Marinette." Tikki sighed, "I think you and Cat Noir need to sit down and have a talk about this. Because I'm afraid if you don't, it's going to eventually eat at the two of you and you won't be able to focus on defeating Monarch."

Marinette hugged her knees in closer knowing full well that Tikki was right. This was a sensitive subject that needs to be brought into the open to discuss with her partner. She just wondered if Cat Noir had realized the same as she had.

He ran his fingers across his lips. For the longest time he had wanted to kiss his partner; to share his feelings with her completely. But is that what happened or was it just his desire that he wanted to see?

It felt so real.

He glanced up to the night sky from his window ceil that he was currently glued to. He couldn't sleep; he tried. Every time he closed his eyes it just brought him back to that fake dream with Ladybug. He was happy and felt like there was finally something worthwhile to protect. Even if it might've been an illusion of a family with her, it was still something that he didn't want to give up.

But, was it something that Ladybug had been thinking about as well?

He buried his head in his hands and began to sob. Why did his heart hurt so much for something that was never his to begin with? And did Ladybug feel the same as him? Even after all these years of her stating that they could never be together? It didn't make any sense and this was all causing his head and heart to ache.

"Kid? Are you ok?" Plagg had been sitting on Adrien's bed watching him since he got out of bed.

He didn't know what happened to cause such turmoil in his holder, but absolutely hated seeing him like this. Briefly glancing over to the piano when Adrien didn't answer thinking another duet on the keyboard might cheer him up again. But another sob brought the Kwami's attention back, realizing that a song and dance weren't going to be enough to help the poor boy's heart.

"I don't know, Plagg. I'm just so confused." For the first time that night Adrien looked at his Kwami and Plagg didn't know how to handle the situation. He thought about flying to Tikki for help but thought she might be dealing with the same with Marinette.

For the first time since they became partners, Plagg flew to Adrien, reached out a paw to one of Adrien's hands, and looked at him with pleading green eyes, "Talk to me kid. Tell me everything."

Ladybug looked out over the night lights of Paris from her and her partner's usual spot. One of the perks of the superhero costumes was going to the tops of buildings to find the perfect views. And for some reason this building was within perfect eyesight of the Eiffel Tower. She had Cat Noir to thank for that. Standing on top of the tower was one thing, but during the night it was better to look at the tower from a distance.

Attempting sleep was getting her nowhere and Tikki agreed that Marinette needed to clear her head before rest would ever find her. Once transformed, she headed straight for this spot to be able to thoroughly collect herself.

She kept drifting back to right before the dream broke for her, when Cat Noir started crying. He realized it was a dream too but he didn't want to leave. She didn't either but knew that was reality. Cat Noir has always admitted his feelings for her, sometimes a bit too strongly, but she never once thought that he would want to be married to her and start a family with her! But, her desire was clearly the same. She felt just as strongly about their happy life together as he did. So, how come this is just now being brought to her attention? She's always loved Adrien. Is it because she's started dropping her feelings for him and now they've manifested to Cat Noir?

"What do I do?" She asked no one in particular as she looked to the starry night.

"Ladybug." His voice was soft and almost quieter than a pin dropping.

She shifted around to see Cat Noir strolling up beside her to sit down on her right. His posture was different from when they parted earlier but couldn't put her finger on it.

Wait…just Ladybug? What happened to M'Lady or Bugaboo?

"Can't sleep?" He asked taking in the city.

She didn't say a word, but shook her head before looking the opposite direction of him.

He sighed. "Me neither."

The silence between them was so dense it was almost unbearable. She glanced at him through the corner of her eye. This guy that she's been fighting side by side for years. His golden locks that frame his perfect face. Arm muscles that are more than capable of great damage in fights. A slender form that she can only imagine is held up by the many Akuma attacks. His claws that could slice apart the toughest of opponents if need be. His soft lips that never utter a word of distaste about her. Those green slotted eyes that seemed so somber at the moment and held a million emotions currently.

"Tikki told me that Monarch couldn't have altered our visions of our deepest desires." Ladybug informed.

Cat Noir looked at his partner with wide eyes.

"She said that the only reason that we even shared the same dream is because you and I have the same desires." Ladybug glanced up to the sky hoping to make this conversation a bit easier to discuss.

"The same…desires?"

Ladybug nodded. "We would have been the only ones to alter them to fit what we wanted."

"So, your feelings in that dream were the same as mine?" He asked. "And…the kiss?"

Ladybug looked at Cat Noir realizing that he was searching her for as much of an answer as she was in him. Never in her wildest dreams did she think that this is how she would find out her true feelings for him let alone his for her.

She didn't know what to say. If she said that's the way she felt now, would he believe her? Would she believe it herself? She can't tell him it meant nothing because that would just be lying to herself and that's something that would eventually eat her from the inside out.

Ladybug was pulled from her thoughts when Cat Noir smoothed his right hand across her left cheek to cup her face so she would have no choice but to look at him.

"Come and kiss me." He repeated her words
