Ask and thou shall receive (I guess)!

At school the next day Adrien noticed Marinette was avoiding eye contact with him at all costs. He would shoot her debonair smiles and they would be returned with bright red blushes and looks of astonishment. It was like she could hardly believe that he was the masked hero Chat Noir. He couldn't blame her, though. The possibility of Ladybug being in his class never crossed his mind, but now that he knew it was her there was really nobody else it could be. Marinette and Ladybug were both kind, brave, selfless, and disliked Chloe. Suddenly all the disgusted looks and the times she stranded him with the high maintenance blonde made sense. He couldn't believe he had a crush on his classmate and didn't realize it. He made out with his classmate and didn't realize it. Wonderful. Adrien decided he was going to get Marinette to talk to him at lunch. Hopefully. He turned around in his chair to make another attempt to catch her attention but she was suddenly very interested with her fingernails. His face fell and he turned back in his chair and went back to looking at his assignment, really not interested in studying the large chunk of literature placed in front of him.

"Girl, Adrien was totally looking at you! Say something to him!" Adrien gave a wry smile. At least Alya had his back.

"I- I can't." Marinette and Alya really needed to learn to whisper more quietly. Nino and Adrien often overheard the girl's conversations, though they couldn't often make sense of what they meant by anything. Adrien understood everything here loud and clear. Nino still looked perplexed and gave his friend a look.

"I'll tell you later," Adrien whispered much more quietly to his friend, who nodded in response and went back to eavesdropping.

"I mean you're never going to get a date with him like that, much less make out with him or any..." They heard Alya's voice fade away, a moment of silence, followed by squealing, which caused Adrien and Nino to sink further in their seats and the rest of the class to give Alya and Marinette their undivided attention. "Sorry!"

The class slowly turned back to their work and Alya went back to speaking with Marinette. "You made out with Adrien?"

"I- I- what? You can't know that!"

"You turned into a tomato when I jokingly mentioned making out. If I couldn't figure that out then I wouldn't be much of a journalist would I? Besides, you can't keep a secret to save your life. It's why I know you're not Ladybug." Marinette started coughing, and Adrien struggled to hold back a laugh.

Nino shot the blonde another look and Adrien just waved it off, his best friend continuing to look wide eyed at him because he was internally freaking out because if what Alya said is true that means Marinette made out with Adrien ergo his best friend made out Marinette and didn't tell him!

"We- uh," Marinette was fading fast, struggling and hoping the class would end and release her from the hellish nightmare.

This was when Adrien decided he needed to help his lady out and turned in his chair. He would cover for her and not blow his and Nino's eavesdropping cover with one cleverly spoken sentence. "Marinette, I really need to talk to you about that akuma yesterday."

"Oh," and the excitement drained from Alya's eyes almost instantaneously only to be replaced by a terrifying inquisitive look that only Alya would be able to conjure up. "So, Adrien, you and Marinette got caught up with that akuma yesterday?" He nodded. "What were you doing?"

"Um," he couldn't really say that they were fighting the akuma, or attempting to when they got caught and had to be rescued by Tom. "We were on a date." He glanced at Marinette who was glaring daggers at him but dared not go against his story knowing the alternative was revealing their identities. "You're a really good kisser, Marinette," he said knowing full well that he could only get away with making such a bold statement because he was Adrien and not Chat at the moment. If he was Chat he would have been sent flying into a building already. It would have been worth it.

"Adrien!" Alya was ecstatic.

"Adrien!" Nino was baffled.

"Adrien!" Marinette was about to murder him.

"Adri-kins!" And Chloe must have overheard them because she was making her way towards the group with steam coming out of her ears. "Excuse me!" She planted herself in front of the model, raging. "Did I just hear you say you took Marinette on a date yesterday?"

"Oh, um, hi Chloe. Apparently you heard me say that... Yeah, I took Marinette on a date yesterday."

He could see the gears turning in her head, trying to figure out how on earth Marinette landed a date with Adrien before coming to the conclusion that Adrien must be taking out all the girls in the class because he was such a nice guy and there was really no other way that Marinette would land a date with her Adri-kins. "Oh, well when is my date, Adrien?"

"I'm sorry?"

"I mean, it's only fair. You took Marinette out on one so now it's my turn."

"Uh, Chloe look," Marinette half hoped that he would fess up to the lie and just reveal their identities just so she could escape from whatever universe she was in but she knew this wouldn't be the case. She was completely unprepared for what came out of his mouth next, "Marinette is my girlfriend so I can't go on a date with you."

The class when silent. Everyone seemed to hear Adrien say those words. Marinette is my girlfriend. Those words filled the empty space and even the teacher was looking at the boy with a stunned and perplexed look before she let out a cough, realizing class was going to let out soon. "Re-return to your seat, Chloe." Miss Bustier put her teacher face back on and walked to the front of the class. "I have a group project to hand out. You're going to be working in groups that I'm going to assign. Ivan, Juleka and Nathaniel are group one. Chloe, Alix, Rose and Mylene are group two. Max, Sabrina, Kim are group three, and anyone I didn't call are going to be group four." She passed out the papers. "You're all going to be analyzing different characters from Les Miserables. Study their character arcs, and differentiate plot points from the book and the play. Group one had Jean Valjean, group two has Javert, group three has Cosette and Marius, group four has Eponine. Due Monday! Presentations are to be fifteen minutes each. No trading groups or characters," she said that last part looking at Chloe, who she knew was going to protest. "Class dismissed!"

Marinette planned on running out the door, sprinting to her house, locking herself away in her room and dying of embarrassment, and she liked to think she would have, if she didn't immediately trip whilst taking her first step, only to be helped back to her feet by Adrien, her "boyfriend."

"Can I please talk to you?"

Marinette relented, waving bye to Nino and Alya and getting pulled away by Adrien. She didn't know if her heart was going to burst with happiness or anxiety. He led her to the park where they sat on a bench. Adrien pulled out a pair of sandwiches and passed one to the dark haired girl. "I'm sorry," he said. "I shouldn't have said all those things without-" he looked into her eyes and he was lost. She had captured him completely as both Ladybug and Marinette. "You're beautiful."

"What?"

"What?" He pulled at his blue scarf and let out a nervous laugh. "I-is it hot today or is that just me?"

"Adrien," she looked at him deadpan, "it's December."

He nodded. "Uh, yeah. So it is. December. Cold. Great." He took a deep breath and spoke again. "I'm sorry. I've just been in love with you forever and now I know who you are and I really can't-" he stopped again, but not because he got distracted by her eyes, or hair, or the cute little freckles that were just noticeable in the right light... okay maybe he did get a bit distracted, but it was because giant roses were being thrown at them. Roses. With thorns. The size of small trees. "Really? Now?"

"Can it, kitty. We've got an akuma to capture!" Marinette didn't waste time in grabbing Adrien's wrist and pulling him into the first alley she found, quickly but throughly looking around to make sure no one was watching. "Tikki, Spots On!"

Pink light filled the alley and Marinette was replaced by Ladybug in an instant. "That was pretty cool," Adrien smiled. He had just seen her transform and he was incredibly giddy. And she was looking at him unamused. Right. Not the time. "Sorry. Plagg, Claws Out!" Green light and Adrien was replaced with Chat Noir.

They made their way to the roof of the building and leapt from roof to roof, looking for the akumatized victim. She was at the park they were just at, creating a forest of the roses. The akuma was a young woman dressed in a... was that a Japanese school girl sailor uniform? Deep breaths, Chat. "I am Yandorable and I will get Senpai to notice me!"

"Not a Yandere," Chat groaned. Yandorable, along with the Japanese school girl uniform, had pink hair, pale pink skin, and giant heart shaped glassed that formed a mask on her face. Wasn't hard to figure out her motive. She wanted senpai to notice her. "What does she expect to do with giant roses?" he asked, not seeing any danger before running to one of the pink roses, touching it, and subsequently shrinking. "Oh, the roses do things. Wonderful."

Ladybug saw the whole thing and was now trying to suppress her laughter. She went over to Chat and picked him up off the ground. He easily fit in the palm of her hand. "Oh, Chat! You're so little!"

He gave a courteous bow. "Travel size for your convenience, M'Lady. I think I'd rather travel myself though."

"Kitty! You sound like a chipmunk!"

"Seriously? I'm a cat! I eat chipmunks for breakfast! I'm a disgrace!"

"Come on, kitty. I'm sure one of these flowers will turn you back." She walked over to a red one and threw him up so he was on top of the flower. He grew and came down... as a woman. "At least I'm the right size..."

Labybug smirked and her eyes landed on his chest. "Oh, I'd say you're quite a few sizes above 'the right size.'"

He... She rolled her eyes. "Ha ha. Very funny. Let's just defeat her so I can get back to normal."

"Senpai? Senpai, where are you?" Yandorable called out in a high pitch voice that made both Ladybug and Chat Noir cringe. She got a glimpse of Ladybug and Chat. "I see you found my flowers. Great aren't they? Each color does something different!"

She grabbed a rose and touched the petals, changing the color to orange and throwing it at Ladybug and Chat. They dodged, the flower hitting one of the giant tree sized roses, turning it to ice. "Orange you glad we missed that one?"

"We need to focus on finding where the akuma is!"

"You mean it's not in that picture of the guy she's kissing right now?"

Sure enough the girl was making out with a picture of a blonde guy muttering senpai quietly over and over. "Lucky Charm!" Ladybug called and down came "gum?" She looked around, seeing the girl and Chat. "Ew. Okay." Ladybug popped the gum in her mouth and sighed. "Look over there, Chat!"

Chat looked away and Ladybug ripped a couple strands of hair out. "Ow! What was that for."

Ladybug sighed. "You'll see." She spit out the gum and put the strands of hair in it. "Yandorable, I think I have something you might like! Senpai's gum and hair!" Ladybug never sounded less enthused.

"What! How did you get senpai's gum?" Yandorable ran over to Ladybug and snatched the gum and Chat caught on quickly. He grabbed the picture out of her hand while Yandorable ran to Ladybug, ripping the picture and releasing the akuma. Ladybug caught and purified it, causing things to go back to normal. Chat was no longer a woman.

"Pound it!" Chat held is fist out and Ladybug rolled her eyes.

"Come on, Chat. That was almost too easy!"

"I was turned into a woman! I hardly say it was an easy fight for me. I was really confused."

Ladybug sighed and held out her fist to his.

"Chat?" she said.

"Yeah?"

"What you were saying at the bench earlier? I love you too."

Chat smiled and took Ladybug in his arms, vaulting off to her room. They could hardly keep their lips off of one another's.

It was one fifty-four in the afternoon.

Their friends were in Marinette's room.

Working on the project.

Their friends had just seen Ladybug and Chat Noir burst into Marinette's room, lip locked, really enjoying themselves, then transform into their best friends.

Alya hit her head against a textbook. "My career in journalism is over!"

I hope y'all enjoyed. I might make a part three for Gabriel (which this was supposed to be then it turned into Alya and Nino). We'll see!
