Adrien was a nervous wreck.
Yes, he had found out who she was, and she had discovered who he was. It was one of the best things ever given to him.
But now, he was planning on asking her out to go to a movie. And he had never been so scared, except for that one time where she jumped into Animan's mouth. That topped the cake. And maybe when he was going to confess his love to her on Valentine's day.
Still, this was scary.
"She's gonna love it, kid." Plagg said casually.
"But what if-"
"Kid, no one has done anything in life if they only ever ask 'what if'." Plagg snapped. "Now feed me some camembert and get going."
"That was probably the most inspirational thing you've ever said, Plagg." Adrien said, awed.
"Don't expect me to become Tikki." Plagg gaged. "I probably won't ever do it again."
"Fine- here you go, and you better be quiet while I do this." Plagg jumped at the cheese, happily flying smugly into Adrien's coat.
He didn't promise anything.

"Hay, uh, Marinette, I know that today is a school day and all, but Nathalie said that I could skip today as long as I keep up my homework, and she can talk to your parents about you not getting in trouble for skipping with me- no, that doesn't sound right." Adrien stood by the steps to the school- where he and Nino had waited for Marinette and Alya. Oh, gosh- the date! He had set up a date between his best friend and the love of his life!
No, he couldn't focus on that now. Berate self later, practice asking her out now. He ran a hand through his hair, then squared his shoulders and started again in the most serious voice he could.
"Marinette, I know that today is a school day, but ever since realizing that the two most amazing girls in my life are the same person, I've been dying to ask you out to the movies. I don't have a lot of free time, but Nathalie said that she could take care of our absences if you agree to go with me to the movies. I'll help you with any homework you get today, and-"
"Who are you talking to?" Adrien jumped and turned away from the bush to look up and face Marinette, who was looking down at him from the top of the steps. He blushed.
"Marinette! Hi! Uh, I was… talking to myself! Yeah!" He watched as she jumped over and landed smoothly on her feet, every bit as smooth as Ladybug had in the past. As she had in the past.
"So, you're helping yourself with homework?" Marinette asked, and Adrien blushed redder.
"N-No, I mean, gah!" That was when Plagg decided to fly out and be helpful, for once.
"He wants to ask you out to the movies, but the only time he can go is during school because he doesn't know if his father will pull up a surprise photoshoot or something."
"Plagg! You said you wouldn't say anything!" Adrien exclaimed.
"I didn't say anything of the sort, kid. I just asked for Camembert." Adrien gawked at his kwami, and was about to say a few choice words when Marinette squeaked out something.
"What?"
"I-I said I'd love to, Adrien!" She said. "As long as I'm back before school ends."
"We will be." He said happily. Then he offered her his arm, throwing her a wink. "After you, Milady." Marinette rolled her eyes with a blush and took it, letting him lead the way.
"Silly kitty."
Together, they watched The new Avengers movie, went to a cafe, and then proceeded to go to school for the last period of the day, completely unaware of how bizarre it was going to get.
(Yes, they did confess, and yes, they kissed during the movie. Best movie of his life.)
