Adrien P.O.V.
"You are excused now student's please don't forget to read chapters seven through eight of The Giver by Lois Lowry." Miss Bustier says. We all leave the classroom only to see it's raining.
I see Marinette let out a sigh as she reaches the entrance, she seems to have not brought an umbrella. She outreaches her hand to feel the water and I stare, I finally pull myself out of my daze and walk to her.
"Forgot your umbrella?" I ask, I seem to have startled her as she jumps a little.
"Yeah, but it's no big deal. It's just a drizzle," she says, she puts her wet hand on her cheek, she seems to smudge what seems to be concealer* revealing some type of scar.
"Are you going to go in the rain?" I ask as I stare at her cheek, the scar seems familiar.
"Yeah, I have to go to the fitting with Jagged Star so I have to go no matter what," she tells me as she rubs her hand on her cheek, the concealer wears off and she reveals the scar, my eyes widen as I realize that's the same scar the akumatized victim left on Ladybug's cheek, meaning Marinette is...
"Marinette that scar on your cheek..." I begin, her eyes widen instantly.
"W-w-what?!" she exclaims.
"Are you..." I begin getting closer but she doesn't let me finish.
"IHAVETOGOADRIEN!" she exclaims and she dashes off.
"Wait. MARINETTE!" I yell after her.
I don't know what to do! I decide that I should calm down and think about it calmly, I put my hand inside my bag and realize I'm missing my textbook. I dash back inside before Natalie gets here, I go to the classroom but here two familiar voices inside.
"Setting them up for a date was a good idea Alya," it's Nino and Alya!
"Told you babe! But I think Marinette might not have feelings for Adrien anymore, she doesn't get all worked up and nervous anymore!" I hear Alya, they are talking about us!
"Well, we couldn't expect her to be helplessly in love with Adrien forever, he doesn't even seem to notice she likes him" Nino says. Am I really that blind?!
The limo arrives and I have no choice but to get in before Natalie yells at me, I excuse myself and pretend like I heard nothing and just ran in to get my textbook, I get it and dash off to the limo
I can't believe it! Marinette is Ladybug no doubt, she always disappears when there are attacks and is never around when Ladybug is, she is also the only girl that hasn't been akumatized in our class which is strange since she gets bullied by Chloe all the time.
I reach the giant mansion in which I live, once I reach my room I can't help but to pace around.
"Calm down kid," Plagg says as he comes out of my bag eating a piece of camembert cheese.
"Marinette is Ladybug! How could I have not realized it! She has the same eyes and hair, I always thought she was just a fan so she styled it that way!" I say to Plagg who is uninterested in my discovery.
"Worst of all! She actually LIKED me but I blew it Plagg! She even confessed it to me when I was Chat Noir and I didn't know she was talking about me!" I can't think straight I can't believe I haven't realized Ladybug has been sitting right behind me. Literally!
"Look kid, you won't know for sure until you talk to her" Plagg says as he stuffs the remainder of the cheese in his mouth.
I spend all afternoon wondering to do and finally decide to go to her family bakery tomorrow to talk with her.
"Welcome!" I hear a familiar voice say as I enter the cute bakery, I see none other than Marinette at the counter, she blushes and looks away when she realizes it's me.
"Marinette, I wanted to talk to you," I say to her as I walk over to the counter.
"I-I'm sorry I'm, I'm he-helping my parents..." she says to me, I sigh.
"Oh, well if it isn't Adrien, darling it's okay you should go with your friend," Marinette's mother says as she comes in from the back holding a tray of cookies.
"Hello ma'am, a pleasure to see you as always" I say to her.
"Mom, are you sure?" she asks her mother, I'm guessing she doesn't want to talk.
"Of course sweety," her mother says as she puts down the tray and puts a couple cookies in a paper bag, Marinette takes off her apron and hangs it up.
"You two go out and talk, here Marinette give these to Adrien" her mother says with a sweet smile as she hands her the bag of cookies, we walk out and she hands me the cookies, I walk to an abandoned yet well lit alley.
"W-what, what do you need to talk about?" she asks me as she presses her back to the wall letting out a sigh.
"Y-you're Ladybug aren't you?" I ask her right away. She looks away but doesn't deny it.
"L-Look Adrien, no one is supposed to know a super heroes true identity" she says.
"You are, aren't you?" I question her, I notice her earrings as she nods.
"B-But you can't tell anybody, please promise me that!" she says.
"Don't worry because" I say, she finally looks up to me. "Plagg, claws out!" I suddenly say and I transform into Chat Noir. Her eyes widen and she tries to take a step back but can't since she is already against the wall. I de-transform and get close to her.
"I finally know who you are my princess!" I say excitedly. "I overheard Alya and Nino talking, saying that you like me! Which means we can be together! I love Ladybug and you love Adrien!" I say happily.
"T-That's not true!" she exclaims as she begins to cry. "I-I told you my feelings were wavering! And the reason for that was because I'm also in love with Chat Noir!" she exclaimed leaving me surprised.
"M'lady, but that's amazing!" I say even happier than before.
"No it's not! I'm in love with you, as both Chat and Adrien, I love both sides of you with all the flaws both sides bring yet you don't love me!" she cries trying to hide her face.
"T-That isn't true m'lady" I say in shock, I love Ladybug with all my heart and I was true to my love to her which means I can love Marinette as well since she is Ladybug. She doesn't act the same as Ladybug but...
"Yes it is! You love Ladybug, not me! You are only in love with Ladybug and you have even told me! You aren't in love with Marinette, you've seen me as nothing more than a friend, I'm clumsy and awkward and you aren't in love with that!" she cries, it breaks my heart but she is right, even though I've always seen her as fairly cute and lately have felt jealousy over her, I have never thought about Marinette romantically.
"Until the day where you can love both sides of me sincerely I will not be with you, even if it breaks my heart! Let's continue to fight crime together and be classmates, if the day comes where you are no longer in love with Ladybug don't worry about it." she says finally looking me in the eye.
"I will try my best, to learn every single detail of Marinette and Ladybug, until you can see I truly love you both, until then can you wait for me my princess?" I ask her.
"Always" she replies and she pulls back, she then transforms and leaves me there alone. I'm in love with Ladybug, but can I really love Marinette with the same intensity?
A/N: Thanks for the positive feedback! I am going to try and make a new cover for the story which is more eye appealing ^-^. If you're wondering why Adrien would know about concealer remember he IS a model! Models use make up constantly to cover any "flaws" or "imperfections". If you have any suggestions or feedback feel free to leave it in the review section or PM me :3 'Till the next chapter friends!
