When they have explained what just happened, excepting Marinette's secret identity, to the newcomers, Alix pushed Adrien off the seat eagerly.

"Outta the way, I'm going to choose a truly embarrassing one"

She ignored her classmates' shouts of disapproval and started to search frantically.

_.-*Half an hour later*-._

They were eating while the girl was scrolling through hundreds of stories.

*Knock knock*

Two more people entered. This time, they were Ivan and Sabrina, chatting about something. Alya scooted closer to Adrien's ear.

"Why did you invite her?"

"She's not with Chloé, and as I didn't invite her she was very happy to come."

Juleka talked to them saying what just happened.

"I-I have a question" Sabrina said shyly. "Why did you act as if you were in the story?"

"It's funnier that way" Nino shrugged. "But if you want…"

"I FOUND ONE!" The pink-haired girl shouted, startling everyone. Marinette fell off her chair. They all gathered around the computer and Alix started reading.

"I won't read the summary because it's more fun that way"

Of Jealous Cats and Clueless Bugs

Alya and Nino got a knowing smirk on their faces, Marinette and Adrien started coughing very awkwardly and the others gave them weird looks.

Nathan opened his mouth to say something, but Alya shushed him.

Well, this is my first Miraculous Ladybug fanfiction. Thanks for checking it out. Each chapter will have a song as its theme, so feel free to leave suggestions :). The song strictly fits Chat Noir to Marinette/Ladybug, I suggest you go check it out.

"Why Marinette or Ladybug? Is Chat Noir in love with Marinette too?" Ivan asked.

Nathanaël choked on the bread he was eating, Adrien blushed profusely yet unnoticeably and Marinette laughed on the inside

Disclaimer: I do not own anything other than my plot. This is for entertainment purposes only, the actual show and the song belong to their rightful owners.

"Show?"

"Ignore it"


"You never say yes, not quite no, you say just enough to make me not go.

You choose your words in a careful voice, but in the end I'm not the first choice.

You say you want someone just like me. So then why am I your plan B?...

You say, just wait a little longer, and that in time I could be the right one.

Please, I'm the B Team."

-song: B Team by Marianas Trench


A young man with fair hair stands on a Victorian styled building's rooftop, looking rather mysterious and heroic in that tight, cat themed, leather suit of his that he uses to identify as the hero 'Chat Noir'. His black mask shields his identity, but not his brazen feelings. He looks down at the city of love below him, Paris, France. His emerald eyes glimmer with adoration as he watches the girl with raven hair and sapphire eyes, who walks along the sidewalk down below.

"Is he stalking Marinette?"

"Why me?"

"Girl, you have the bluest eyes I've ever seen"

"Point taken"

The sky is dark, and stars are scattered across the sky like a dark blue blanket with glowing dots as its design. He feels a purr rumble in his chest as he continues to watch her. He uses his metal, extendable staff as leverage to get him to jump across the air and onto the next rooftop as the civilian girl crosses the street.

No, he isnot stalking her...he's...watching over her, yeah, completely normal, right?

"Nope. Not normal"

"…Wait, is that Chat Noir stalking Marinette?"

"Just watching over"

"Absolutely not stalking"

Okay, maybe not so normal, but what can anyone say? The feline hero is in love with his classmate-

"HA! Told you so!"

"…Wait, classmate?"

who is also his heroine partner.

"Wait, what?"

"Could we stop saying Wait, please?"

"But… Heroine Partner?"

"Long story short, Marinette is Ladybug"

A long time passed before they could stop freaking out and keep on reading.

He didn't mean to discover her identity -thus breaking their promise- it just...happened.

"Wow, what a long explanation"


[Days ago]

"Well goodbye, milady~" he kisses her hand and looks up into her sapphire orbs, his own glimmering with a sassy flirtation as he winks. She rolls her eyes with a huff, but ends up smiling back at his little smirk. The pair had been battling as heroes and protectors of Paris. Now that the akuma -otherwise known as an evil butterfly that taints the hearts and controls those it lands on- had been purified they began saying their farewells.

"I think I'm gonna upload that definition of Akuma to my blog"

"See you next time, kitty." she says, retracting her arm as she waves goodbye before walking away. He finds himself staring after her. His heartbeat hammers in his chest. He can't hold these feelings back anymore, he needs to voice them, "Wait, Ladybug?" he calls out her hero name, with an outstretched hand reaching towards her. The Ladybug heroine looks back at him over her shoulder, "Yes, Chat Noir?"

Suddenly, the heat rises to his cheeks. He may flirt with Ladybug often, but actually saying what she means to him is a whole other story. "I-I wanted to say that..Ladybug, I l-love y- you...r yoyo. Yeah, I love your yoyo, milady, you seem rather cool, and dashing might I add, whenever you use it, dear. I must say, how do you do it?" Chat Noir places his hand on the back of his neck as he chuckles nervously. He mentally scolds himself for talking like an idiot.

"If Chat Noir was here right now, I'd hit him"

OH, PLEASE NO Adrien thought.

Ladybug shakes her head with a knowing smile, sighing softly right after. It would be great to fall in love with Chat Noir, but sadly, that is not the case. There should only be room for one person in her heart, and that person stubbornly is Adrien Agreste-

The room fell silent.

Both Marinette's and Adrien's cheeks started getting hotter by moments.

-, not the hero Chat Noir. "Goodbye, Chat." she says before walking away. "Goodbye, my lady." he says rather softly.

Chat Noir on the other hand, as of now seems to have found room for two people in his heart, his partner Ladybug and his classmate Marinette.

"Again with the lovesick kitty"

Adrien wanted to answer but he couldn't.

The both of them are extremely alike, the only noticeable difference is that one wears a vibrant red, black-spotted, skin tight costume and mask, and the other doesn't. Wait a second...

"GOD, FINALLY SOMEONE NOT OBLIVIOUS"

"Is that supposed to have an underlying meaning?"

"…Yes"


Now, back to the present. Our little cat boy shakes his head out of his musings. Ever since that day he had taken his time to study both girls more. He came back with shocking results, the person hiding behind the red, black spotted mask is Marinette, his classmate.

"Stop stating the obvious"

"It wasn't until today, duh"

Ladybug, or Marinette, isn't aware that the very Chat Noir she works with, is the same boy that sits in front of her in class, Adrien Agreste.

"…That…"

"That's one hell of a messed up love square"

"Wow"

"I won't tell Chloé, I swear"

"Man"

"W-W-W-WHAT?" AdrienwhoisChathasacrushonmeasALdybugbutohwaithealsohasacrushonmeasMarinetteandohgodthisissoconfusingwaitdidIrejecthimlikeamilliontimesbecauseIwasinlovewiththeotherpartofhimbutwaitIdidkisshimonValentine'sandnowIfeelsoresponsiblebuthappybutOMFG.

"Whoops" SHIT

"So… Marinette loves Adrien (Insert here Marinette's shouting) who is secretly Chat Noir (Duh) but he can't see Marinette's Obvious (more shouting) crush on him because he's too blind fawning over Ladybug (Adrien's turn to protest) who is secretly Marinette and..."

"Holy Moly"

The one she also has a crush on. Chat Noir, or Adrien, is aware of her double life, but not of her little crush on his civilian form.

"Little? Please tell me you're kidding"

"ALYA!"

To summarize it all up, these two are hopelessly in love with each other, their feelings are requited without either realizing it. It's a shame, really. More than a shame, it's incredibly frustrating. Seriously, all they really need to do is reveal one another's identity to each other! That's it! But… it might be harder than it seems.

"That's exactly what everyone is thinking right now"

"How long are you going to keep spying on me, kitty?" Chat Noir's eyes widen as he looks down to find Marinette looking straight up at him. Had he not been holding on to the ledge of the roof well with his gloves' claws, he would have fallen from startled surprise. Chat Noir gazes down at Marinette, giving her a sheepish smile. "I apologize, princess," his coquette charisma snaps back into place.

"Princess? Kitty? Really?"

"How long have you been with pet names?"

"Is there something you're-"

"STOP IT GIRL"

He jumps from the roof and lands gracefully on the sidewalk in front of her, bowing with his left arm bent over his chest, before pulling a rose out of nowhere and stretching it out in front of him with his right hand in greeting at the beauty in front of him.

She sighs with a smile and takes the crimson rose from his hand. "So, are you going to explain why you have been watching me these past few nights?" she asks with a cute tilt of her head.

"Key word: cute"

One thing he likes about entering the black, skin-tight, cat themed, leather suit, is the ability to be who he wants and have over-flowing confidence. Chat bends to reach her level before unexpectedly arching upwards, close to her face, as he tilts her chin up with his right hand. He looks lovingly into her sapphire orbs that swirl with mild surprise. "Why my lady, how could I leave you to fend for yourself in these dark, dangerous nights?" he says with that little smirk of his, knowing full well that Marinette is fully capable of protecting herself, especially considering she is also Ladybug, his partner, the kick-ass heroine.

"Remember that fight a week ago?"

"Do not mention it."

Marinette looks to the side, before staring back into his emerald gaze, "I'll manage, Chat." she says, unfazed by his flirtatious gestures. She is quite used to Chat's flirtatious gestures while in Ladybug form. "Is that so~?" Chat leans in closer to her face. "Would you be able to protect yourself from even me?" he breathes as he looks down at her with a smothering gaze. He leans his face a bit more downward, wanting to close the last few inches between them.

He can't help himself, her lips look so soft, so plump and captivating. So very kissable- "Chat, don't." Marinette places two digits on his lips before they can touch hers. She pushes his face away from hers with her fingers.

"Wow rejecting Adrien harshly"

"That me didn't know it was him"

Chat looks down at her fingers with surprise, before looking up at her. "Why not, princess?" Marinette takes a step back and puts her wrists at her hips, "Aren't you in love with Ladybug?" her question nearly sounds like a statement.'But you areLadybug, Chat thinks to himself.

Chat takes in the small frown marring her pretty features. He looks away from her eyes, finding the floor to his right interesting all of a sudden. "She doesn't love me back, Marinette." he says with a soft sigh, pretending he doesn't know Marinette's secret identity. "How are you so sure?" Marinette says, causing Chat to look at her with a hopeful glance. Could Marinette be suggesting that...?

"Ooooh saucy"

Groan contributed by Marinette.

"W-well she doesn't return any of my romantic gestures, I've tried so many times-" "Then keep on trying, just maybe, one day, she'll get over her crush and like you back instead-" "Her crush?" Chat raises an eyebrow. Marinette is Ladybug, so if she's saying that Ladybug has a crush... "What crush?" Chat says with full seriousness now, his tone cold.

"You, stupid"

"In that Alternate Universe (Alya said something along the lines of "It's called AU") we don't know each other secret identities-"

"YET!" Alix shouted.

"I-I-I mean-uh. Well who am I to assume Ladybug has a crush, right? It's not like I know her on a personal level or anything. Heh heh," Marinette rubs the back of her neck nervously. Chat narrows his eyes, "No no no, princess, you might actually be onto something. Say, uh...would you perhaps have any guesses on who thiscrush might be?" Marinette feels uneasy at Chat's jealous tone. She didn't want to cause trouble to her other self -Ladybug- yet here Marinette is, doing just that. "N-no! Forget I said anything, goodbye, Chat Noir." she waves goodbye while looking over her shoulder, before walking away. The gesture reminds Chat of the time he had tried to confess to her again those few days ago.

His arms go limp and his shoulders hunch over, "I messed up, didn't I?" he pinches the bridge of his nose.

"Yes, you did"

"Staaahp"

He then hears the beeping from his ring, signaling that his transformation is about to wear out. "I better get going."

To be continued...

"HOLY HELL CLIFFHANGER NO PLEASE OMG WHYYY"

"Alya, it's just a fanfic"

"Just… A fanfic…? JUST… A FANFIC?!"

[A sudden controlled rage attack later]

"Now, now, we'll keep on reading, but let's see other fanfics"

"Okay…"

As Alix kept on looking for a good (read: embarrassing) one, the door creaked open. Rose and Max appeared through it.

"We're finally here!" Rose cheered.

"Welcome to Hell #2" Alya said, munching on some bread that appeared out of nowhere.

Now Adrien was starting to regret inviting them all.

A/N: Sorry for not updating! I was at a camp with a painfully bad Internet connection and I had no tablet, so…

Hope you liked it!
