Ladybug gaped as Adrien took her hands, the others were far gone now.
"We don't have to tell them, or anyone, to be real" He reasoned slowly
She opened her mouth to speak, nothing came out.
"I will love you, no matter what" he pleaded
"I know you in real life" she mumbled
"REALLY" he shouted, excitedly.
"Spots off" she commanded, her transformation fell away.
"Marinette, this is perfect! You're perfect! Everything is perfect!"
Marinette couldn't gauge what was happening. Adrien was Chat Noir, Chat Noir loved her. She loved Adrien, Adrien was Chat Noir. She turned to Tikki.
"This must have been very annoying to watch, huh" She asked, they all laughed, even Plagg.
She gazed into Adrien's eyes. "My lady?"
"Chaton?" she responded, they gazed at each other for a few seconds. They began to giggle, that giggle turned into a laugh, that laugh turned into hysterics, those hysterics turned into tears. They were soon bawling.
"Imagine if Alya and Nino saw us like this" Marinette said, finally, wiping the tears from her face.
"Yeah, they'd be shocked" Adrien agreed. they stood in silence for a moment.
"All this time, ALL this time, it was you and I never noticed a thing" Adrien vented, suddenly "I have been so blind, whenever we went to the bathroom during akuma attacks I thought you had suspected me, and you were following me. But you just needed to transform too" he laughed
"Alya suspected you" Marinette said, sitting, staring at the setting sun.
"Really!" Adrien yelled, astounded. He sat down as well.
"We really have been stupid" Marinette chuckled "Oh" she suddenly realised that Plagg and Tikki were probably hungry.
"Do you want anything?" she asked, turning to her hungry kwami.
"A cookie or a macaroon would be good" she replied, smiling with gratitude. Marinette handed her a pink spotted macaroon and turned to Adrien, who was handing Plagg some camembert.
"We should probably get back to the others" Marinette suggested, standing up.
"yeah, I hope they can't see us" Adrien said, worrying slightly
"Oh, Alya's pretty respectful of others' privacy" Marinette replied
"What does Alya have to do with this?" Adrien asked, sceptical.
"Oh, you don't know, of course" she exclaimed, facepalming "Alya's Rena Rouge"
"REALLY" Adrien roared "so we're all in the same class! Next, you're going to say that Nino is Carapace!"
"Well, yeah" she uttered quietly
"OH, MY, GOSH."
"I know, right" they stood in silence.
Suddenly, there was a crash in the distance.
"Something's up, Tikki, spots on!" Marinette cried, her costume appeared.
"I agree, Plagg, claws out!" they ran to meet the others at the louvre.
The villain was bad, very bad. The emotions were stronger than anything they'd ever fought before. Good thing that they had permanently recruited the others, otherwise, they would'nt have been able to face it as quickly.
