~Renard Rouge~
Staring at the scene in front of him Renard stood speechless, his mouth only opening to mouth word which sound was omitted. Watching Chat try to attack but stopping before he could even make a mark on her as the villainess punched him with no hesitation. It wasn't until Chat was sent flying that Renard processed a thought My Marinette was said in his head over and over. Suddenly his feet were acting on autopilot and Renard was racing towards her. Just as she was raising her arm to strike Chat again he grabbed her arm. Not moving he felt her body relax, then without turning she greeted him.
Voice lower and speaking slower each syllable sent a shiver down his spine."Hello Renard, you should have run when you had the chance. I really didn't want to hurt you."
His voice was slightly shaking, she is still in there, My Marinette, please nerves don't fail me now. "Mari, I know you don't want to hurt me. I know you would never hurt me, this isn't you." trying his best to plead with her Renard just let go. Dropping to his knees Renard looks up at her. "I'm begging you. Just give me the object so I can free you."
Her back still facing him you hear a loud cackle. Finally, she turns around but when she looked down Renard didn't see the girl he loves. No, he saw someone who was truly broken filled with streaks of rage. "It's Bad Bug now, and here simply to cause destruction so you can stay out of my way or hand over your cuffs."
"You know I can't do that, I would never leave you. Let's be peaceful and just go back to our normal life. We don't need any violence."
With a smirk, Bad Bug kicks him in the stomach laughing as he bends over from the pain. "Oh Renard, I-" but before she could say another word Chat Noir came from behind and tackled her to the ground pinning her down.
"Renard, help me! She's, she's just really strong and I don't-" cut off Bad Bug kneed him where the sun doesn't shine. As he let go, Renard, grabbed her and held her tightly against his chest.
~Chat Ending~
"Mari, I know, I know you are Ladybug and I'm sorry. Sorry for not noticing earlier and putting that pressure on you. I-I love all of you, no matter which outfit you're wearing. So I beg of you, as not only your teammate, your friend but also an admirer."
Something inside her twitched and tears started pouring down. Not making an effort to wipe them she stays quiet. Taking the silence as a good sign Renard keeps talking, "You and me, we can start our lives together. Fight for justice and then go out for a date, work on new art projects together bouncing ideas off each other. I can give you a beautiful life, it can start right now if that's what you want."
Taking a deep breath she nods, "Okay, take off my earrings. This isn't me, no matter how hurt I was this is a bit too far for someone who is suppose to be a hero. I was just mad, and wanted someone to just accept me."
"I do, and always will Mari." As he let go to take the earrings she slipped away and punched Renard in the face. Bad bug made a run for it but Chat was still on the ground and tripped her. Grabbing her legs for dear life.
"Are you really Ladybug and Mari?" Chat asked with uncertainty his heart racing at the thought his two loves were really just the same person.
"It doesn't matter, you don't care."
Taking that as a yes Chat let go and stood up. Then in front of them, he went back to being Adrien, "I'm Chat Noir, I've loved you for a while but was conflicted when I was sharing my heart with who I thought were two different people. I do care, I care about you and you have my heart please just come back to me."
Bad Bug stared at him unsure how to take the news. Chat and Adrien were the same people that wanted her. This time for real she took off the earrings and used her yoyo to set the butterfly free. Reverting back to her normal self. Moving forward she grabbed his collar and pulled him close staring into his eyes. "Do you love me?"
He answered with a long gentle kiss. "Did that answer your question?"
~Epilogue~
After clumsy dates and nervous nights years passed when Adrien and Mari got married. Mari worked as a designer where her favorite model is Adrien and they are the biggest thing since sliced bread. They will eventually have children but for now, just want to spend more time being a lovey-dovey couple. Renard stayed behind being an awkward third wheel but found out being by himself was amazing because he his a great person.

"I won't let you go, I'm not letting the love of my life get away from me. I know your secret and I love all of you. My Earth, my hero just stop this, please I can't hurt you." Before she could say anything he took an earring from her. "I won't take the other but just know I support any decision you make and promise to be honest with you."
"Then tell me, who are you under the mask and how do you know my secret? Tell me and I'll give you my other earring."
With a sigh, Renard let go and stepped back to give her space. "I am Nathanael, and I know because your eyes gave it away. I've looked into both and could tell, a mask couldn't hide the warmth they hold." With a small smile, he looks into her eyes seeing a glimmer of the girl he knows.
Being true to her word she gave up the other earring and used her yoyo charm to return back to normal. Which Chat gasped, "y-you are both ladybug and Mari?" He stuttered out pointing at her.
"Yeah Chat and Renard has some answers he needs to be told." She walked towards Renard and held his hand. "Can we go somewhere more private?"
Blushing Renard nodded holding her waist and jumping rooftops. Alone on her balcony, they confess and finally become a couple.
~Epilogue~
They ended up traveling around the world creating new art. Opened up exhibits and donating money to charities. They have a family with an older boy and a baby girl on the way.
Thank you to everyone who has supported me and commented on this work! I'm sorry this was such a crummy ending I was honestly avoiding this because I lost inspiration but didn't want to just abandon this. It was my first fic ever so I hope it wasn't too bad and hope this was an ending that wasn't too horrible. Until next time, thank you everyone.
