(Hey! SG Here! I'd just like to say thank you so much to everyone for being so patient, and a special thank you to the person who JUST asked me to update this. Hearing people say they loved it and that they hope I update soon encourages me so much. And I'll be trying to get one or two chapters out daily from now on, but you must understand I have important stuff to do in real life like taking long naps, listening to music and eating all the snacks. I hope you guys like this chapter...Please tell me if I messed anything up, cause it IS 3:25 AM, and I'm really tired and I'm in a hurry to get this out for you guys. But as always, ENJOY!)

Where Chat Noir had been moments ago, stood a now speechless Adrien Agreste. He stared at Ladybug in shock at what had just happened. His lady had told him over and over they must never know each others identities, yet here they were.

"I-I'm so sorry," He whispered, eyes wide. He looked like he was about to cry. The look of concern on Ladybug's face was replaced by a smile and she began to… laugh?

"Why are you laughing?" He demanded. "Is there something you're not telling me? Why are you laughing?" He repeated, his voice wavering.

"I'm sorry, I just think it's quite a coincidence that you were just saying no one saw you detransform, just as you detransformed!" She said, now covering her mouth to try to stop the laughs from escaping her lips.

She couldn't tell him the reason she wasn't shocked was because she was there earlier; she needed to think of something to get her out of this mess.

"B-but Ladybug," Adrien said, sitting down and putting his head in his hands. "No one is supposed to know our identities, you said so yourself!"

Ladybug got an idea.

"It's fine, I already knew. I was on a nearby rooftop in my civilian form, in a cage, and I saw everything," She said. "I got over my shock a long time ago, but I didn't want to tell you just yet."

It must have been very convincing, because Adrien slowly started to lift his head up.

"Were you…" He began. "A-Are you mad? Disappointed it was me?" He asked, lowering his shaking hands to his sides.

Ladybug's earrings beeped. Three minutes.

"NO!" She yelled suddenly. She paused for a moment, looking embarrassed. "I-I mean, no, I'm not disappointed; in fact, I'm glad it was you." She crouched down in front of him and put a hand on his shoulder.

"We're a team, Chat. She whispered. "Nothing is going to change that."

He couldn't help but pull her into a hug. She tensed, but quickly relaxed and returned the hug.

Beep Beep. Two minutes.

Adrien pulled away quickly, eyes wide. "W-we have to get you out of here before you detransform!"

Ladybug nodded, looking around for anything that could help them. From what she could see, there was nothing.

They sat in silence for what felt like forever, Adrien not daring to look at Ladybug as her earrings gave one final beep and she detransformed.

"Tikki," She said, "is it possible I could transform again? I know you need to eat, but that's not an option right now."

Another voice spoke up- probably Tikki. "Yes, but it'll be difficult to hold the transformation, much less use your lucky charm. Maybe after I've rested we can give it a shot."

That reminded Adrien of his own kwami, who he hadn't seen since he first transformed. He started to gently pat his pockets to feel for the creature. He wasn't there.

"Uh, Ladybug? I don't mean to bother you, but where's Plagg? I completely forgot about him after detransforming." Adrien said, eyes still closed tightly.

"Who-?" She stopped. Adrien heard footsteps.

"Shhh, don't tell him I'm here!" He heard someone whisper.

"Plagg!" Tikki yelled happily.

No- not someone- that was Plagg.

"I can hear you, Plagg." Adrien said, holding out his hand. He felt his kwami land in it, muttering something about how boring Adrien was. He felt something fly by his hand.

"It's been so long since I last saw you, Plagg!" Tikki said.

"Can we go somewhere more private to talk?" Plagg asked Tikki desperately.

She squealed in delight. "Of course!" And with that, Adrien felt his kwami leave his hand and fly away, leaving him and his lady alone together.

"Where are you?" Adrien asked quietly.

"Over here." He heard Ladybug say from opposite side of the cage.

Adrien crawled over to her, feeling his way across the cage, and sat beside her. He felt a cold hand slide into his, squeezing it tightly. He heard the two kwami's whispering, only just too far away for him to understand. He could get used to this.

"Are you ready to go, Tikki?" Ladybug asked, slipping her cold fingers from Adrien's.

The kwami's whispers stopped. "Yeah," Tikki said, obviously not wanting to have to leave Plagg.

"Tikki, spots on!" She yelled. The warmth spread across her body, once again pausing for a moment over her injured ankle. She sighed, "It's good to be back."

"You can open your eyes now, kitty." Ladybug said.

He opened his eyes only to be greeted by the most beautiful smile he'd ever seen. God, she was beautiful.

"Lucky charm!" Ladybug yelled. It was a giant pair of scissors, which you could tell just from looking at it that it was sharp. Ladybug cut open the cage and off they went, running down the street in the opposite direction of The Jailer.

Plagg, who was resting in Adrien's pocket, kept complaining that he wanted cheese.

"I know you do, Plagg," Adrien said, breathing heavily, "but it's going to have to wait till we get home."

Plagg groaned, but thankfully stopped complaining. Ladybug had stopped running just outside of the Dupain-Cheng bakery.

"If you want I can take you back," She said hesitantly.

Adrien shook his head, backing up awkwardly. "Uh, that wont be necessa-" He was cut off by Ladybug picking him up. Her face was as red as her suit. She pulled out her yoyo and started to zip across the city of Paris, careful not to drop Adrien.

After a minute or two, they arrived at Adrien's mansion, where Ladybug set him down. She was quick to try to leave, but not before Adrien grabbed her arm.

"We have to talk about this later." He said, letting go of her and turning to go back to the mansion.

Neither he nor Ladybug had even processed what had happened that day. Everything was just a blur, but the moment Adrien sat down on his bed, waiting for Plagg to finish his cheese, he realized what had happened.

"Oh my God."

Plagg looked up, a curious look on his face.

"They both know I'm Chat Noir…" He whispered. He looked down at his cold, shaking hands.

"And? I know who Ladybug is." Plagg said smugly.

"What? How-" Adrien began, but stopped himself when he remembered Plagg was there when she detransformed. "Oh."

"I could tell you, if you want," Plagg said, taking a big bite of his beloved camembert.

Adrien jumped, shocked at what his kwami had said. "No! I respect her wishes to keep it secret."

"Oh, really? Is that why she knows you're Chat Noir?" Plagg teased.

"We both know that wasn't my fault," Adrien said, clearly frustrated.

Plagg took another big bite of his cheese. "You sure you don't want to know who your precious Ladybug is?" He asked.

"I'm sure. Don't dare tell me. I don't want to know." Adrien said.

"It's Mari-"

"TRANSFORM ME!"

(SG here! Haha, you like my cliffhanger? Aww, you know you do. It just makes waiting for the next chapter so much more exciting, especially when you realize that Chat is going to be thinking about what Plagg said and- oh wait, sorry, not supposed to say that type stuff! Goodbye for now!)
