What You Mean to Me
A/N:
Chat Noir has been visiting Marinette quite often for the past few months and they've developed a strong friendship. Unbeknown to the other, the two have fallen in love. Each superhero has struggled with the decision about telling the other their secret identity.
One night, the pair fell asleep on Marinette's bed after watching a film and while sleeping Chat Noir transforms back into Adrien. After several attempts, Plagg is unable to wake Adrien. While looking for a hiding spot, Plagg hears someone whispering his name, a voice he hasn't heard in a long time.
"Tikki!" Plagg can hardly believe it, that stupid boy has fallen in love with the same girl twice! Tikki motions Plagg over, he flies so fast he almost knocks Tikki over. The two kwamis fell asleep catching up, forgetting about the two teens.
The next morning, Marinette wakes to see Chat is still here from the night before. She goes to wake him but before she can he bolts upright. Before she can scream Adrien has put his hand over her mouth to attempt to prevent her parents coming up and checking on their daughter.
"Please don't scream Princess" Adrien pleads "Do you promise?" Marinette nods and Adrien lowers his hand.
Instead of screaming Marinette starts hitting Adrien. "You idiot! Why didn't you tell me? You've caused me so much confusion. You've been asking me what i think about YOU! WHY! I think you need to leave." After her rant Marinette opens to the trapdoor to her balcony.
"Princess" Adrien pleads. Marinette just points to the trapdoor.
Can't blame you for thinking
That you never really knew me at all
I tried to deny you
But nothing ever made me feel so wrong
I thought I was protecting you
From everything that I go through
But I know that we got lost along the way
Here I am with all my heart
I hope you understand
I know I let you down
But I'm never gonna make
That mistake again
You brought me closer
You who I really am
Come take my hand
I want the world to see
What you mean to me
What you mean to me
The stern look fell off Marinette's face as she realised that it wasn't exactly his fault. Sensing she wasn't mad anymore, Adrien moved a bit closer to Marinette.
Just know that I'm sorry
I never wanted to make you feel so small
Our story is just beginning
But let the truth break down these walls (oh yeah, yeah)
And every time I think of you
I think of how you pushed me through
And show me how much better I could be
Here I am with all my heart
I hope you understand
I hope you understand
I know I let you down
But I'm never gonna make
That mistake again
You brought me closer to who I really am
Come take my hand
I want the world to see
What you mean to me (yeah)
You make me feel like I'm myself
Instead of being someone else
I wanna live that everyday
You say what no one else was saying
You know exactly how to get to me
You know it's what I need
It's what I need yeah
By now, the two teens were stood right in front of each other and Marinette had tears down her face. Adrien reached up to wipe them away
Here I am with all my heart
I hope you understand (I hope you understand)
I know I let you down
But I'm never gonna make that mistake again (that mistake again)
You brought me closer
To who I really am
So come take my hand
I want the world to see
What you mean to me
What you mean to me
"Sorry," Marinette apologised, "I guess it was just a bit of a surprise."
"More that a bit" Adrien laughed
"You know, I thought it was strange that Adrien was suddenly asking my opinion on Chat Noir all the time."
"To be fair, every time I talked to you about anything else you were a stuttering mess."
"Rude" Marinette laughed "I've got a bit of a surprise for you too." Smiling at Adrien's confused look.
"Tikki! Spots on!"
Next thing Marinette knew, Adrien was on the floor, out cold.
