Marinette couldn't believe it. She knew something even the Paris police didn't know. She knew the identity of Chat Blanc. She froze just after entering her room. This would no doubt come with consequences. Marinette dropped her back and moved to her desk stumbling as she did so. Should she tell the police? No, she couldn't! If she did Adrien would be sent to prison but, didn't he need to go to prison for all the things he'd done? Still, there was no way she could send her crush to Jail. Oh, the agony! Oh, the turmoil. She promised she'd keep his secret but how could she keep something as big as this to herself. Her mental argument was disrupted by her mother who announced she had a visitor. Alya had probably arrived to ramble on and on about how school had been canceled due to Chat Blanc.

However, it wasn't Alya who entered her room. It was Adrien.

Marinette shrunk back in fear as he approached her.

"I know what your thinking Marinette,"

"W-what?" she stammered.

"You're thinking about exposing me," Adrien chuckled.

"N-no,"

"You're scared of me aren't you Mari?" Adrien asked.

"M-maybe,"

"You have no reason to be,"

"But you're Ch-"

"Shh," Adrien gently ordered placing a finger to her lips.

Marinette studied him when he stepped away. Her bluebell eyes followed his every move. She was scared out of her wits. Chat Blanc himself was pacing her room. Finally, he turned his attention back to her causing her to freeze again.

"It's best if we talk somewhere else,"

"Like where?" she managed to ask.

"My house,"

Marinette was terrified of what that could possibly mean for her but nonetheless, she went with him. After all, she'd seen his cataclysm she knew what he was capable of. So, that's how Marinette found herself in the Agreste mansion at the mercy of Paris's worst foe. Currently, the duo sat at the long dining table both were utterly silent as they waited. Finally, Adrien broke the foreboding silence.

"As I said before you have no reason to be scared of me Marinette,"

"Oh, sure because finding out one of your friends is really Chat Blanc is a totally normal thing," Marinette retorted.

This caused Adrien to chuckle.

"What? Do you like scaring people and ruining lives?" Marinette challenged.

"Scaring people, yes but I don't ruin lives Marinette,"

"What about all those buildings you destroy?"

"You ever notice that the only damage done is exterior?"

Marinette paused considering what Adrien had just asked her. Thinking back she did start to see a pattern.

"Well?"

Marinette nodded.

"See it's not my intent to harm people,"

"But why scare them like you do?"

"I have my reasons,"

"Which are?"

"Personal,"

"So, what happens now that I know?" Marinette finally asked.

"You keep my secret,"

"Or what?"

"Nothing just keep my secret,"

Marinette stared.

"Please?" Adrien added softly.

The way he said please caught Marinette off guard. He sounded so weak and vulnerable.

"Fine,"
