She quickly rushed Luka out and this made chat grin upstairs in the balcony. His grin didn´t went unnoticed by Marinete and made her remember all the times she had seen it on chat . she bet if he knew how much she has lied to him he would lose it forever and she would miss would lose all of him if he knew. Marinete didn´t have a lot of time to think much more as she raced to her balcony . the weight of the guilt of rushing off Luka leaving him a little baffled at her door. However it was the guilt of lying to Adrien joined with the fear, he would finally find it out ,that stopped her. She stared up and to her stairs afraid to go up,
Chat seemingly calm ,on the outside ,like usual was actually very scared too. His fears were different . One of his fear was that hawk moth went after Marinete because she knew his secret . He in is mind promised to protect her. No one could hurt his princess ! This fear wasn't alone . He also feared know she would see him or treat him differently and that for some weird reason right now was his biggest fear .The fear of losing his friend again. Suddenly he heard a noise and jumping off his seat asked:
"Marinete?"
"Adrien I can I know its you underneath the mask ! "-she replied as she joined him in the balcony
"how ? and how long have you known ?"
She glanced at his eyes and began waving her arm awkwardly around and walking frenently.
"the how is not important but I found out on my own and no one else knows "said marinete remembering seeing him transform "and the when well it Was very recently. Extremely recent not weeks ago but don´t worry I am good at keeping secrets"-her eye nervous blinked at him surprising Adrien and herself "I mean I will keep your secret "
"thanks .I am so sorry to put you in danger by keeping my secret but I mean if ladybug trust you so can I claws out."-suddenly he detransformed and placed his hands on her shoulders which seemed to calm her down -"And I promise to do anything I can to keep you safe so you don´t need to be so nervous "
For their luck Luka was already gone and no one caught him detransform.
Plagg flew between of Adrien and Marinette. Adrien then explained: –"Well this my kwami Plagg .he allows me to transform me into cat noir "
marinete quickly shooke plaggs paws hoping he would keep his whiskers shut- "Nice to meet you plagg "
"Nice to meet you too "-he told her and shaked her hand before whispering "Ain´t no amount of cheese that make me stay and watch this, I am getting cheese far away from here-" -Plagg rolled his eyes and left not willing to play along any further. Afterall cheese with lies was the one thing with cheese that plagg found tough to swallow .
"Don't worry he can be a bit hard but you get use to him ."-Adrien told her apologetically and embarrassed by his kwami behavior.
"Yeah I know . I mean he seems like a nice kwami "-a small and nervous giggle left her mouth
"Anyway I ,weirdly enough, am actually happy you feels good to have a friend to share it to"-Adrien hand pulled on Marinete´s but not in a friendly way but wet as a promise of something more- "I was scared that if people find out they would treat me differently. They wouldn´t like me but you didn´t. you kept just being least now I don´t have to keep it all inside and can share it with this kind of secret is hard and you can share it with any one because a villain might go after them plus they would never see you the same way! "
The smile on Marinete face turned upside down .the guilt inside her spoke out of her lips -"I know the feeling .adrien there is something I want to tell you and I hope you don´t get mad at me but I feel that I don´t say it now. I never will .the thing I wanted to tell you is ,..issssssss,,is….is…"
"Marinete you can tell me everything. I trust you! Don´t be scared"-adrien hugs butterflies she felt as ladybug the night they kissed came back and apparently brought even more friends with them this time "-I am happy that you find out and kept my secret" -Adrien lets go of the hug –"althoug I can´t say I am surprised you discovered my secret"
"You aren´t ? "-she gasp surprised
Adrien put his hands on Marinete´s shoulder again and they slowly begin to follow her amrs like a river flowing until they reach their shore , her hands .His own hands holds tight between her small ones" .- you are so smart and clever . you are amazingly intelligent "
"I am ? "-a blush escaped her already pick chicks
"Of course! You are the best ! and I always noticed how amazing you are !" -Adrien smiled before leaning even closer to Marinete
Adrien suddenly closes his eyes and marinetes does the same. Both lean in. Adrien´s arms begin to pull her closer and closer . if Adrien was yellow glowing sand then Marinete would be the blue ocean that comes and goes .Hoping for next wave to kiss her lover . Marinete leans even more as if Adrien wasn´t pulling her fast enough . Every moment they got closer together .she ould almost feel the anticipated touch of his and for the first time as herself and not as her alterego ,she although her eyes were shut she could tell he was about to kiss her. All her senses were ighly focused on Adrien .she could feel him pulling her and holding her . the butterflies flew again in her stomach . All felt like the sun seemed to shine brighter as if to compete for the warm the couple shared between them selfs.
suddenly just before the so anticipated touch of the lips .Adrien stops because he sees ladybug in a flash and let his arm fall. Marinete open her eyes and so does Adrien. he then quickly backs away .Marienete stares at him . He seems as confused as she
"Marinete I am sorry but I …I …can´t do this!" -apologizes Adrien feeling the guilt consume him.
Marinete freezes meanwhile jumps before transforming which he does already in the middle of falling. For his luck plagg came to him right in runs after adrien already jumped and is leaping across the stops as she watches him leave After a while and Marinete still on the balcony tikki leaves hiding in Marinetes bag and asks :" are you okay ?"
"He will never love me for me will he tikki ?"
As she said this ,marinetes mom called her saying there was someone there to see her .marinete jumps inside and runs to the door hoping to see Adrien there waiting for he had changed her mind. Maybe he wanted to apologize for running away like if she had cuddies
Menwhile on the other side of paris , Adrien confronts his own feeligs
"Plagg what am I supposed to do"
"What do you mean ?" -Plagg asks between chewing on a well aged piece of camenbert
"I love ladybug but I also can´t deny my feelings for Marinete anymore . She isn´t just a friend. I mean if I didn´t love ladybug then maybe …I am so confused afteral ladybug told me to stop looking for her but marinete was a good friend and has kept my secret .i can´t pretend I do have strong feelings for both .I trust them both and love them both .what can I do ?"
Ha ha ha -plagg begings flying around and laugihing wich causes small pieces of camembert to fly out his mouth .
"You think it´s funny hum ? . I don´t wanna hurt marinete but how can I love her complety if I love ladybug on the other hand how can I be happy with ladybug if I have feelings for marinete. "
"Simple and listen carefully so you understand ."-Plagg flies to Adrien pulls his ear and screams "she is ladybug.
"What ?you are joking with me right ?"
"Nope ! its true I know I probably shouldn´t tell you but I am done with all of this .I am D-O-N-E .as much fun as I have seeing you being a a love expert that I am I can´t take this anymore. its to cringy for me ,I love cheesy but you guys are to much. "
"You are REALLY serious ? Marinete is ladybug ?"-Adrien asks in shock and surprise
"Of course I am . now go tell her how you feel lovebird . just don´t tell her I sent you I have a reputacion to keep, afteral .Just go and be happy ,kid! you deserve it! "
Adrien smiles somehow feeling like living between an amazing dream and a nightmare . the dream because some how he feel In love for the same amazing girl twice .The nightmare because the way he ran away leaving her alone at the balcony .eventully the positive side wins and Adrien smile grew wider and he leave to surprise her .
Adrien rejoices with the rose in his hand . thinking how the color of it reminds him of his lady. He is afraid she might hate him after what happened earlier. But he also wants to know why she just didn't tell him. This were small things compared to what he was about to do .he would finally have the chance to tell his lady also Marinete without any masks or secrets how he really would reveal he knew her secret and also reveal his great love for love for her as ladybug and as Marinettte
then and only then he would ask her the many questions that bugged him. He went ahead to Marinetes place. Nothing could break his chat noir confidence. Plagg Inside his coat smiles because not only he would have to lie to his master but also Adrien would be happy with Ladybug . That also meant he plagg would spend more time with tikki and just for that he could forgive Marinete for the things she had done to Adrien .plus plagg wouldn´t be the reason to keep Adrien and Marinete apart by holding a grudge . Adrien now knowing the truth could take care of himself and Plagg knew Adrien would eventually .
Adrien happily runs to her place. However when he gets there, his heart and legs both stand still ,his eyes refusing to see .The rose leaves Adrien´s hand and rest on the floor .Adrien just stares blackly at the only thing he didn´t want to see .the only thing capable of breaking even a strong hero like him. The rain feel over his face hiding the tears his eyes poured out.
Marinete was outside the bakery in the rain with Luka kissing her
