- Adrien POV - After Ladybug ran away
Why would she run away like that? I don't understand, so she showed all three of us because she had too but she can't show me. Feeling kinda hurt I hurried home and jumped into my room, sat down on the office chair while de-transforming.
"Plagg, how can she show me, Nino and Alya who she was under the mask but not Chat noir?" I asked.
I was too tired to try and think this through and therefore couldn't think straight.
"Well since she already showed you three she might not have wanted to show one more, since she still don't know you and Chat noir is the same person." Plagg said and My eyes got wider,
How could i have missed that!? "I'm so stupid. . ." I mumbled to myself, though Plagg probably heard it but thankfully ignored to comment on it. I went to bed immediately, and tomorrow I will for sure tell her, show her if I have to just in case she doesn't believe me.
- Normal POV -
Adrien woke up the next morning to his alarm, He pushed the button down to stop it and sat up. He looked around him and remembered the even from the day before, so he stood up and walked into his bathroom where he splashed water in his face to wake up properly before he started to fix his hair.
"Someone is trying to look extra good today huh?" Plagg said while smirking at Adrien who seemed a little more concentrated on his reflexing in the mirror, "What do you mean? I'm always like this" Adrien tried to protest but Plagg knew either way it wasn't true.
"Okay, maybe a little" He muttered while pouting in embarrassment
since he had time before breakfast he took a quick shower which helped even more to take away some of the drowsiness he had from waking up while helping with calming down his nerves though he had to re-fix his hair now which didn't bother him too much. He looked in his wardrobe and picked out an outfit he normally wear to school and went down to eat, which a chef in his house had cooked for him. And like always the dinner room is completely empty only leaving him there to eat alone,
"Where is my father, Natalie?" He asked and looked at his fathers secretary.
"I'm sorry Adrien but he's busy so he has already eaten before you" She simply answered, which made him feel a little sad but he's used to it so he didn't think to much anymore.
Once they arrived to school he spotted Marinette but she was standing alone, he walked closer to her but before he could get her attention Alya ran past him and almost tackled Marinette,
"You're not getting away from me now, We have to meet after school so we can talk okay?" Alya said and looked excited, Marinette was kinda happy that she was so positive even tho she knows she won't get home for the next 3 days at this rate.
The pair Marinette and Alya entered the classroom together, whit Adrien coming in after Marinette and Alya and sat down next to Nino.
"Hi Nino, what are you doing?" He asked as he placed his bad on the ground, Nino was looking at his phones screen and then towards Marinette and back to the screen and looked distracted.
"Huh? oh no it's just that, when i look at Ladybugs picture and then her, they do look similar in appearance. I wonder why we never really saw that they are the same person, even tho we both have meet Ladybug a few times." Nino whispered
He then went back to exam the photo and Marinette again. So without warning, since Marinette had noticed Nino was looking back and forth, she leaned forward catching them with surprise and Nino red handed as his eyes was looking at Marinette.
"What are you doing Nino?" She asked, and he kinda jumped once he realized he was caught staring at her and she tried to muffle the laugh.
"W-well i was just thinking how we never noticed you two were similar" He said in a lowered voice making sure no one else heard and then laughed a nervous laugh.
"Well that was the point of wearing the mask" Marinette said and smiled, because a simple mask could hide so much was a relief to her since she don't want people to know at all to make it easier for her.
"Well, i guess you're right about that" Adrien said.
well mostly because he could agree since he had suspected Marinette for being Ladybug before but he just couldn't be sure enough to find evidence, and beside no one had figured out he was Chat noir yet either so he couldn't say anything.
"Well now that we know who Marinette is with the mask on" Nino said and showed a thumb up as if he thought he was being discrete "Maybe we can try to figure out who Chat noir is?" He said and Marinette just shrugged, beside She believes they don't know each others in real life so they don't need to know each others identity
"Why would we do that?" She asked, Adrien felt kinda nervous now about showing her and telling her. "Well you of all people should want to know, you two meets each others more then anyone else in those situations" Alya said and looked at Marinette.
Then she smiled probably figured out why she wasn't that interested in knowing. She leaned closer to Marinette and whispered "You don't want to know who he is, since you already have Adrien?" She whispered to Marinette making sure the boys didn't hear and then laughed loudly at Marinettes reaction. Leaving the boys confused and within a few minutes the lesson had began and Marinettes blush was still visible without subsiding that much.
"So what if that's one of the reasons. . . I am curious but just not enough to go look for him to find out" Marinette mumbled to herself.
While Alya being Marinettes best friend she of course had caught that sentence Marinette mumbled and giggled to herself so Marinette tried to hide her face behind her arms on the table. But she did look at Adrien most of the lesson, why would she try to chase another boy when the one she loved was in front of her. Well the way he acted yesterday was a little weird and more serious then normally, She mentally apologized to him since she was paying more attention to the boy right here then him.
towards the end of the lesson she noticed that Adrien shifted his position a little but she didn't pay much attention to it. Well until their eyes meet and he quickly looked away, leaving Marinettes face even more red by the time the lesson was over, so she refused to stand up when Alya wanted to leave for lunch. She waited until her face wasn't so red anymore before she stood up, but when she opened the door Adrien stood there.
"Can. . . can I talk to you Marinette?" He said uncertain if he should tell her or not.
But when he saw her reaction he entered the classroom with more confident and closed the door behind him, leaving only her and him alone in there. He wanted her to find out since he did now know who Ladybug is under the mask, and he want to know what the change in attitude towards Chat noir and Adrien meant. She turned to him still wearing the same expression when he asked if he could talk to her, Cheeks fully blushing while having that funny smile she wears sometimes. But her eyes might not look at him but he could feel her attention on him, it's weird but he did like it.
He motioned her to sit down on one of the seats on the front row, she walked over to the seat all stiff and sat down.
"S-so what d-did you want to talk about?" She said, being the uncertain person he is he tried to not think about the meaning in her stuttering right now.
"I. . . I need to tell you something" He stated, even though he kinda already said he want to. And for that he wanted to slap himself but didn't.
