Chloe couldn't believe what she was seeing in front of her. She was seeing her childhood friend and he was Chat Noir. She didn't know how to react but when she did react she exclaimed. "YOU'RE CHAT-"
Adrien quickly covered her mouth. "Shh be quiet I don't want anyone to hear you."
Chloe was still in shock but she nodded and Adrien slowly moved his hand away from her mouth. "You're Chat Noir I can't believe this, how, when, why?"
Adrien sighs and closes his door and locks it since he didn't want anyone else to walk in. "Look i'll tell you but you have to promise me that you won't tell anyone about this especially not Marinette."
"Why don't you want anyone to know, especially Marinette, she's your girlfriend… well Chat's girlfriend… okay you get the point." Chloe stated
"I'm not ready for anyone to know and when I am I want to be the one to tell Marinette and the public." Adrien replied. "You know my story with my mom's death and me locking myself in my house especially my room plus the fact that I wouldn't talk." Chloe nodded. "Well one day I just started singing."
"And you decided to become a popstar out of the blue?" Chloe asked, raising an eyebrow.
"No my dad discovered that I could sing and he dragged me to the studio and that's how it started." Adrien replied. "I didn't want to at first but the memory of my mom motivated me to do it."
Chloe nodded. "Okay that makes sense and since you are antisocial you decided to create Chat Noir. I'm assuming that with Chat you felt comfortable to be yourself unlike with Adrien. Though you as Adrien started to open up…. Around the same time Chat appeared… wow it's obvious now."
"Yes and even though I opened up slightly as Adrien I'm still not ready to become fully social as Adrien so please don't tell anyone." Adrien begged.
"I get it don't worry I won't tell anyone. Though if you let me give you some advice you should at least tell Marinette. She deserves to know the truth." Chloe stated.
Adrien nodded. "Yes you're right I'll think about it…why did you come in here in the first place?"
"Oh Marinette was looking for you… well Chat so I came to see if you were here." Chloe replied.
"Okay let's go then." Adrien replied.
Chloe nodded as Adrien put his Chat disguise again and they soon left his dressing room.
…
All day Adrien tried to think about if/when he should tell Marinette that he's Chat Noir. The if part of his question was easy he was going to tell her there was no doubt about it. He knew that he was going to tell her eventually even before he asked her out. Adrien didn't want to keep this from her if they were going to be together so he knew that if he was going to date her he had to tell Marinette the truth. Adrien asked Marinette out so he was absolutely going to tell her the truth to her.
The big question was when he was going to do it. He couldn't wait too long because like Chloe she could find out somehow on her own or when he tells her she might be hurt that he didn't tell her right away… then again she might feel hurt even if he tells her right this second but she would understand better like Chloe… right?
Adrien was so lost in thought about this that Marionette had to snap him back to reality many times during their date that night.
They were at a fast food restaurant and Marinette was getting worried about her boyfriend since it wasn't like him to be spaced out so much. 'Chat are you okay?' Marinette signed with worry in her eyes.
"Yes sorry princess I just have something in my mind." Adrien stated.
'Well whatever it is must be something important. I have never seen you this spaced out before.' Marinette signed. 'I would like to help you with whatever I can. You know that you can count on me.'
Adrien smiled as he finally got his answer to his question. "I know princess… I actually have something to tell you."
Marinette nodded. `Sure what is it?'
"No not here it has to be in private." Adrien replied and Marinette nodded in understanding.
They finished their date and Adrien took her to his dressing room. Marinette was confused. 'What are we doing here?'
"I brought you here because I want to tell you who I really am." Adrien replied.
'Chat you don't have to if you don't want to.' Marinette signed.
"But I do want to Marinette." Adrien said before locking the door. "Just promise me that you won't tell anyone. I mean I trust you don't get me wrong but it will calm me to hear you say it."
'Don't worry, Chat I won't tell anyone.' Marinette signed with a smile.
Adrien nodded and took a deep breath before taking off his disguise and Marinette looked at him surprised. "I'm Adrien Agreste."
