a/n:

nvm ignore what i said in the last beginning authors note of the other chapter THIS IS THE LAST CHAPTER! FINALE ALERTTTT

i have done a few shoutouts in the authors message after chapter 10 just because why not… i honestly could never do all of this without you lil beans i mentioned and ily all to pieces, i know in this one i skipped the majority of their trip and focused it more on adrien and marinette but anyways…. lets bring the finale on (this chapter will be just adrinette FLUFF…)

Adrien's POV:

I was so hyped for this holiday of a lifetime, my father never would have approved of this but if he ever does find out, who cares? I'm old enough to make choices for myself and not have him do everything for me like a baby, plus with Mari on my side, it'll be easy for me to get out of everything since she's the only one who can knock some sense into my father, not even Nathalie - who's been working for my father for over 15 years - can stand up to him.

I mean this meant a lot to me, my first holiday without either my bodyguard or Nathalie following me around everywhere, me and Mari spent the nights at the shoreline of the beach, her head on my shoulder and a thin towel wrapped around us two, watching the clear waves roll onto the golden sand, I knew these were moments to cherish with her.

One night we were as usual, at the edge of the sea when I decided to take her on a little road trip, just us two together with no strings attached, we had been traveling for a few hours and it had just hit 3.45 am when she had fallen asleep next to me, I laid my hand on her leg and glanced out of the car window, lowering the tinted glass to see the sun rising on the horizon, its orange glow illuminating the endless terrain of fields to the right and the lengthy highway ahead of us.

The sunshine always reminded me of Marinette, constantly making not just mine, but everyone's day happier, and I was the moon, always there for the sun and making people's dark times brighter and the sun's eternal partner. The sun and moon comparison wasn't really my idea, it was something Alya had told me when Mari and Luka were dating, to change her mind and make her realise that we were made for each other, we were the missing piece of each other's lives, we're eternal soulmates, I was the only one who didn't see it back then, I was young and stupid- letting my father run my life and being so oblivious to Marinette's feelings for me.

We spent nights in our room, getting drunk and chugging rose wine which Alya had brought. Not gonna lie Mari looks cute when she's drunk, confused with a small blush spread across her face and spontaneously jumping behind me. And of course watching her sleep, her head on my lap while I'm staring out the window, watching the sun illuminate the sky.

Marinette shifted her head around sleepily in my lap and made a faint, miserable sound before opening her eyes slightly and staring up at me.

"Do you get deja vu from our holiday?" she asked me, almost as if she knew I was thinking about it the whole time she was asleep.

"Yeah, except we were in Hawaii and not in your bed in Paris" I chuckled and kissed her forehead, she smiled at me before sitting up and leaning against my shoulder.

"Have you been watching me sleep all this time hm?" I blushed at that question, clearly she knew that I loved watching her sleep (I know it sounds so goddamn creepy but I just can't help it with that cute face of hers)

"Y-Ye- I MEAN no" I sputtered, Mari let out a small laugh and slapped me gently

"Don't lie to me, I know you've been watching me all this time" I blushed even more and shifted around under the covers, her room really brought back many memories to when we were younger and hadn't revealed our identities to each other yet, well it wasn't really a planned reveal I guess…

- flashback -

"H-hey Marinette…. Marinette?"

I walked into her room as Chat and came face to face with

"Ladybug?"

She turns around, pale faced and instantly starts trying to explain how she got here even though I never recall asking

"I-Oh hey Chat um… I'm just uh stealing Marinette's ummm… ADRIEN POSTER COLLECTION! YEP THAT'S RIGHT HER POSTER COLLECTION AN-"

"Hold up- why the fuck has she got loads of posters of me in her room, I mean… OH MY I THINK SHE'S IN LOVE WITH ME-"

I pull her in by her waist and stare her in the eyes, she stares at me and looks down at her waist as if to say

"Get your hands of my fucking waist and leave me alone."

"M'lady, I-you're Marinette..."

"I- wait you're Adrien… and yes I-i'm in love with you"

And it was at that moment we both knew we fucked up…. well in a good way

Ever since then we had so much fun during akuma battles and Ladybug finally was in a good mood, presumably since I had stopped begging her for our identity reveal, now that was a time we'd never forget- both of us...

I pulled Marinette closer to me and hugged her; held onto her for dear life. I would never want to lose her and she'd never want to lose me… but eventually one of us would be losing our significant other...
