Ladybug waited anxiously on the Eiffel Tower, pacing and wondering what she was going to say to Cat Noir. He was a bit later than she was accustomed to, which was... strange. Then again, she had yelled at him for being an idiot. That would probably cause him to act a bit weird...
But Adr- I mean, Cat Noir, doesn't know that. She thought. Unless he knows my identity. No, that's not possible. Right? I haven't done anything to jeopardize it. He could be having difficulty getting away from his family. Hopefully. But he hasn't had any trouble before...
The thud of footsteps that announced his arrival startled Ladybug out of her thoughts. She looked up to see Cat Noir, almost looking like his typical self.
Almost.
There was no visible difference, but it was obvious that he wasn't his usual, happy self.
Taking a deep breath, she decided to act as if nothing was wrong. If he wanted to tell her, than he would.
"Good evening, Cat Noir! Are you ready to start patrol?" Ladybug asked brightly, a fake smile plastered across her face. Did she sound too unnatural? She hoped not. Wouldn't be good to make him suspicious.
Cat Noir's false attitude shattered.
"Ladybug, I'm sorry!" He cried. "It was just a pun or two, really! I don't know why, but that m-made her realize that I-I..."
"Made who realize what?" Ladybug did her best to looked surprised. But there was no need; Cat Noir wouldn't look her in the face.
"She figured out my identity! I'm not sure why, I mean, it was only a few puns, but she did! Then she yelled at me and called me an idiot... I'm so sorry, I know nobody should know, and that if she ever gets akumatized, Hawkmoth will know too! I won't let it happen, again, I promise!"
After Ladybug asked him to recount how it happened, without names and locations, mind you, the poor boy started rambling.
"...And then we just walked back to where our friends were, and said nothing! But I'm sure she hates me now, and that's horrible, because she's one of my best friends and- oh no! I just realized! Her best friend is obsessed with finding out our identities! If she tells her..."
Trying to not freak out over the fact that Adrien Agreste had just called her one of his best friends, she said, "Just make sure you talk to her soon, Cat Noir, to make sure she doesn't blab. And I think we should cancel patrol. You should rest and get some sleep."
Cat Noir nodded. "I'll talk to her tomorrow, don't worry, Ladybug!" He took out his baton, said good night, and was soon gone.
Ladybug sighed. It had a been a long day, and she was ready to make up her sleep. She swung her yo-yo, tied it around a building, and swung off.
Again, sorry for the late update. And sorry for the chapter that is, I'm sad to say, a bit short.
