(Don't expect a chapter a day after this.
Chapter 2-4 were all ONE CHAPTER.
That I split into 3. So, chapter 5 might be a few days!)
**Disused Laundromat during a thunderstorm, Managers Office.**
"Crap, did I take my birth control today…" She whispers, mainly to herself, but she can feel Cat tense up. "I'm sure I did. Tikki is very bossy when it comes to the pill."
"Right…" Bending down, he kisses her with so much passion, she wonders where he gets all his energy.
"Easy Kitty. I need a break." She giggles between kisses.
"Right, sorry, I'll let you get dressed and transformed." He smiles as he sits up and starts putting his suit back on. Yes, blindfolded.
"I do love you, Kitty, you know that, right?" She sits up to watch him get dressed. She's not really in a hurry. But she would like to see his eyes again.
Cat freezes mid putting his arm in, and turns to her. "Then why am I wearing a blindfold?" His question's so sudden and so unexpected, it catches her off guard.
"I… I don't understand." She understands just fine, but she doesn't understand where the question came from.
He sighs and searches for her hands before taking them. "My Lady, My love. If we are truly in love. Why can't we reveal… all? I know you're worried about Monarch. But we're together. It's okay." He reaches up and kisses her knuckles.
"Okay? Okay?" She pulls her hands away, suddenly jumping up to find her clothes.
"What now?" He asks, exasperated.
"We haven't made a dent in Monarch since he stole the Miraculous from us 6 years ago! How is that okay?! It's bad enough we're in love and just had sex. Now, you want to know who I am? Is anything ever enough for you?" She snaps, as she puts on her underwear and bra. What is she doing? Why is she yelling at him?
Cat quickly stands up and wraps his arms around her, pulling close against his still naked chest.
"Shh… it's okay. It's okay. Breathe!" He strokes his fingers up and down her spine.
For the first time, she notices she's actually crying. How had she not noticed? Dropping her clothes, she wraps her arms around him and starts sobbing into his chest.
"I'm so sorry, bugaboo. I didn't realise it's still a sore subject for you. Blast me and my inability to understand. I love you Bugaboo, and if you don't/can't tell me. That's okay." He kisses the top of her head.
Looking up at him and his blindfold, she realises how silly she's being. Here she just made mad, passionate love to the man. Yet, she's afraid to tell him her name.
"No, you're right. We're not little kids anymore. I don't.. no, I need to stop being afraid of him. He's not the Boogey Man." Reaching up, she grabs a hold of the blindfold.
Cat freezes and takes her hands. "Are you sure, Bugaboo? I don't want to force you or guilt you." He asks, suddenly unsure himself.
"No, I need the guilt. Like I said. We're not babies anymore. It's time to start being adults." She smiles, as he lets his hands drop. Taking a deep breath, she unties the blindfold and lets it drop. Before taking a step away from him.
"Open your eyes Kitty." She whispers.
Cat's unsure on if he should open them or not. What if she's right? What if this is a bad idea? What if this gets them akumatised? What if this ends the world?
"Kitty, Kitty. Calm down…" She giggles and kisses him lightly. The horror must have shown up on his face.
"I'm sorry…" He lets out a chuckle. He slowly takes a breath before opening his eyes. He opens them quickly, as he doesn't want to chicken out. What he sees takes his breath away once more.
"Princess…" Reaching up, he touches her face and caresses with his bare hand.
"Hey… Kitty, surprise?" She whispers, the fear evident in her eyes.
Letting out a bark of a laugh, he sweeps her into his arms. Pressing a kiss to her quivering lips. "I love you. I have always loved you. I love you Marinette, I love you My Lady. I can't believe they're the same person."
She can't help the tears that are now flowing down her face. Cat loves Marinette? He loved Marinette? Since when?
"Oh no, Cat didn't love you. I did." Cat steps back from her, forgetting he had his suit around his ankles. Somehow it gets tangled up, and he stumbles backwards, landing on his butt.
Marinette bursts out laughing, as she watches him going flailing to the ground, moaning and all. "Omg, Kitty… are you okay?"
"Yep, just embarrassed. Leave me here to die please…" He sighs as he takes the suit from his ankles.
"Oh, but Kitty, who will love me if you die." She giggles. Sure, she's joking. But, it still hurt a little to say.
He lifts his head up slowly and looks at her. "Claws in." Sitting up, slowly. Cat becomes Adrien Agreste.
"Adrien… A- A- Adrien… ADRIEN AGRESTE!" Marinette suddenly feels like the whole world is spinning around her. Stumbling backwards onto the table, she sits on it. And puts her head into her hands. She just had sex with Adrien Agreste!
"Hey, hey, Bugaboo. It's still me. Your ever loving Kitty-Kat! I love you, Marinette. I always have." He lifts her head from her hands and smiles at her.
How had she never seen it before? It's plain as day now that she knows. The smile, the eyes, the tender touch. Oh, no! His father…
"What… what's wrong?" He wraps his arms around her waist and pulls her close.
"When… when we were 17. Your father… he, he told me to stay away from you. Romantically. Said you're destined for great things. I knew you had tried to date me when we were younger. But I was so focused on being Ladybug, I ignored you. So, I figured it didn't matter. I'm not sure why he even told me. I was already in love with Cat Noir. And was going to ask him out." She sighs and lays her head on his bare chest, listening to his heartbeat.
"My Father did that? What? Weird. I didn't say I was going to ask you out or anything. I got hint from you when we were kids. You didn't want me, or at least didn't want me then. Now, I know why. I completely understand, the only person we really had time to date. Was each other." He chuckles and kisses her head and cuddles her.
"Well, now we can date each other. Both each other. That is, if you want too." She sits up and locks eyes with him.
"What… of course I do! I told you, I love you!" He leans down and kisses her, pulling her back against him. Deepening the kiss, trying to communicate the love he has always held for her.
Slowly wrapping her arms around him, she pushes back against the kiss. Lifting herself off the table slightly.
Grabbing her back on the hips, he lifts her up so she can wrap her legs around him. Then he takes the three steps and slowly lowers her back down on to the couch. Before, he can ask her if she wants to. She had already taken off her bra, undies and his undies.
This time, it's Adrien Agreste and Marinette Dupain-Chang that make love, and make love, did they ever!
