Chapter 15:

It's finally the day of Valentines, the day of love and Ladybug and Chat Noir is fighting the akumatized Kim known as Dark Cupid. The classic Chat Noir got shot and hates Ladybug and Ladybug tries her best to give him a kiss.

After a lot of chasing and getting the miraculous, Ladybug managed to kiss Chat Noir on the lips. It was romantic. Chat Noir has been freed of the curse and he soon realized Ladybug's lips are on his. She was kissing him. It was heavenly and he can't believe it.

Dark Cupid however was watching the whole scene, feeling disgusted.

Their lips are finally separated.

"Don't open your eyes just yet." Ladybug whispered softly and Chat obediently followed with a snicker on his face. He heard soft giggling. "I wanted you to know who I am,"

"But the akuma, we have to get the akuma—"

"Shhh….it'll be quick."

Chat's snicker grew wider and nodded. He then felt something bright appeared in front of him but his eyes remained close.

"Okay, Ready?" Ladybug whispered. Chat then slowly opened his eyes, expecting a radiant beauty without the mask but…

"WAKE UP!" Nino's voice yelled

Chat noir is on top of Nino.


Adrien's eyes were quickly opened. The first thing he saw is the pissed off kwami. He stared at Plagg with a shocked expression as he panted heavily.

"G-good morning Plagg."

"Good morning." Plagg greeted sarcastically. "It's fine that you are sleeping but I need my breakfast! I'm hungry! I can't go to your kitchen in the morning, y'know!"

"Are you sure you want to wear that in school?" Plagg asked in disgust as he watched Adrien admired himself wearing the Chat Noir hoodie.

"Of course, what's wrong with the idea?" Adrien asked.

"Don't you ask me that way, you know perfectly well the consequence!" Plagg warned angrily.

"I know," Adrien said carelessly. "If I don't I'll break my promise to my Princess Mari." He cooed.

"My Mari, My Princess…" the kwami mimicked. " Well, I don't care about breaking promises, she will know, she'll probably hate Chat Noir if she realized you're him!"

By this, Adrien gaped and removed his hoodie. He then folded it nicely and put it on his bag. "Umm…fair point you got there." He whispered as he put on his white shirt. "I'll just bring it wherever I go."

"Fine, be sure not to go show it to your Princess Mari or she'll cook you and feed you to the dragons." Plagg said angrily then he made his way to Adrien's inside pocket.

"Plagg, fairytales isn't like that."

"Well to me, it is."

Adrien arrived at his class. Once he saw Nino, he then glares at him nervously. Remembering the dream he had, he can't look at Nino for the rest of the day.

"Morning Adrien!" Nino greeted, waving at him.

Adrien isn't saying anything for a few minutes. "Oh, yeah morning!" he also noticed that Alya is sitting on his seat.

"Sorry Adrien, mind if we switch seats?" Alya asked. "I'm planning something really important to Nino."

"Plan?" Adrien repeated as he made his way to Alya's seat. "What kind of plan?"

"Uhh, it's a secret." Nino said blushing.

Adrien raised a brow and nodded. He patted Nino's shoulder. "Okay, I respect that. Good for you." He then took a paper and pencil from his bag. He was going to draw a portrait of Ladybug as his next gift. Finally with the pencil on his hand, he stared at the clean sheet of paper in front of him.

Marinette finally arrived and sat next to him. She couldn't help but stare at the blonde kid who's been frozen like an idiot.

"What's wrong Adrien?" Marinette suddenly asked.

"I don't know how to draw Ladybug." Adrien replied.

"Did you now?" Marinette said sarcastically. I promise I'll tell Ladybug someday that you don't know how to draw her face."

Adrien looked at her blankly. "Are you still mad at me?"

Marinette shrugged.

Adrien then looked at Marinette and remembered the drawn portrait he have from Nathanael. He then took it and used that as a reference. He started first on drawing the face shape, the neck, the shoulder outlines. He then designed the suit Ladybug wear with black shaded spots then finally the hair.

Marinette watched him draw. She then blushed as soon as she saw the very pigtails she and Ladybug share. Adrien is such a talented person. Her face grew red as she noticed the portrait of her in the middle of their desk.

"Now to draw the face…" Adrien said tapping his pencil at the desk as he tried to imagine the face of the heroine. "I can't draw the face!" he shouted making the two people in front of them turned around.

"What are you doing there?" Alya asked trying to peek at the paper Adrien have. "Ooh, trying to draw Ladybug huh?"

"You're a great artist dude." Nino complimented. "You're having problems drawing the face?"

Adrien nodded.

"Well, if you ask me, how about draw Ladybug's eyes without the mask first then draw the mask afterwards, that's what I do when I draw people with mask." Alya suggested. "Go try that."

Adrien nodded. Alya and Nino resumed at what they're doing.

"Now, what does her eyes look like." Adrien muttered.

Marinette continue watching Adrien work on his drawing but then she noticed the familiar black fabric hanging in his bag. She quickly took it without hesitation. She saw the very jacket she gave to Chat Noir. She looked at Adrien in horror.

Adrien noticed this and gaped as he saw the jacket in her hands. "I can explain…"

"Why is this with you?" Marinette asked softly. "Oh gosh, did he gave it to you?"

"No, it was cold so I have to borrow it from him."

Marinette pouted. "You're the son of the man who designs clothes for a living, mention being rich so it's not a thing that you have limited coats plus it's hot outside."

Adrien had his mouth open, couldn't speak a word nor making an excuse. Plagg's right, there's consequences.

"No way," Marinette said in shocked.

'This is it, she knows…' Adrien thought. It's finally time to say Adrien's Chat Noir. Marinette's a smart girl so of course she realized it. His excuse earlier has no sense at all.

"Marinette, to tell you the truth—" Adrien began about to finally tell his secret.

"You forced Chat Noir to give it to you!" Marinette said.

"What?"

"You heard me, Chat gave this to you instead of him wearing it but why?" Marinette asked and she glared at Adrien.

"He asked me to hold it for a while."

"Really?"

"Really."

"Ok then."


"Wow, nice Marinette drawing you got there." Plagg complimented as he watched Adrien stare at his soon to be Ladybug drawing.

"No Plagg, this is not Marinette, it's Ladybug." Adrien replied nicely.

"You really like the pigtails huh?" Plagg added trying to ignore the boy's words as he was looking at the faceless Marinette/Ladybug drawing. "Why not have that short hair of yours in pigtails?"

"I'm not a girl y'know."

Plagg didn't say another word and continue to watch. After a few minutes, Adrien stared at his unfinished masterpiece.

"Are you done? Is she blind that you don't give her eyes?" Plagg asked.

"I can't, I can't draw the eyes." Adrien said. The said drawing was simply a beauty. There's the perfect hair, the mouth, the nose was perfectly drawn, the shading of the black spots are simply very black. The problem is her eyes are missing.

"Hey, try do what Alya said, eyes first before mask." Plagg reminded then pointed at the Marinette drawing. "How about have her eyes as reference, you've used her hair before, maybe the eyes will work too."

Adrien looked at Marinette's face. "I don't know, their eyes might be different."

"Look pal, if you ask me all of the human faces are the same to me, it's just in different color and style so why not try it."

Adrien gave a hesitant look to the kwami but he do what he was told, he drew the eyes the same way how Marinette's were drawn.

After a few minutes, he was done. He looked at his art and it's basically Marinette in a Ladybug costume. Because of this, Plagg gaped and looked at Adrien very nervously.

"S-so, ready to draw the mask, it's quite easy." Plagg said.

"Yeah but I'm curious," the boy began. "Her eyes are the same as bugaboo."

"You don't say…"

"Hmmm…Haha, oh well!" he exclaimed and draw the mask.

"Wow, Adrien, you're ready to give it to your Lady. C'mon we don't want you to get you in trouble." Plagg said excitedly but he realized Adrien staring at both drawings. "What's wrong now?"

"Marinette and Ladybug is awfully similar." He began

"Really? How do you say so?"

"It's like I drew a copy of this drawing rather than just the hair."

"You're just saying that. They're completely different people." Plagg said nervously.

"Hmm…I'm not sure… oh wait."

"Umm…yes Adrien?"

"Maybe Marinette's a fan as well, she did say she is a fan of both heroes, so maybe she's planning to do a cosplay of Ladybug that's why!"

Plagg sighed in relief. "Yeah, c'mon night patrol!"
