Welcome to the second chapter! Thanks so much for the positive response it was so unexpected and I hope I live up to all your expectations! Enjoy and please review!

"Whoa, hold on a second!" Plagg exclaimed as reality hit him hard, making him nearly flip in the air. "If you're here that means…Oh my God Marinette is Ladybu-"

He didn't get the chance to finish his sentence as Tikki flew into him, cutting off his mouth with her hands and sending them flying into the other side of the bag. The force shunted the bag an inch along the floor and both Marinette and Adrien perked their heads up at the noise like two startled meerkats. Marinette gave him a concerned look but Adrien, thinking Plagg was being his usual trouble-making self, hunting through the bag for more cheese, quickly shrugged it off and they went back to work.

Tikki listened out for any noise from them whilst pinning a struggling Plagg to Adrien's school books. When she was satisfied that they were working again, she removed her hands and Plagg whipped away from her, turning his back.

"What was that for?" he sulked.

"That was for nearly letting the cat out of the bag." Tikki sniffed.

"Hey, I make the cat puns around here!"

Tikki huffed. "I thought that was Chat Noir."

"Well, I help. A little." Plagg said as he retrieved his lump of cheese from the ground.

"When you aren't being lazy you mean." Tikki said before peeping back at the two studying teenagers. "Wait…Adrien is Chat Noir? That seems so…unlike him."

"Yeah, he makes full use of the whole mask thing. Guy really needs some freedom." Plagg remarked. "He's a good kid though. He gets me Camembert cheese."

"You and your stomach." Tikki sighed with a shake of her head. "You haven't really changed much over the centuries have you?"

"No." Plagg admitted with a smile. "But would you really want me too?"

"No." Tikki smiled back and his dark face brightened. That made her giggle a little; no matter how much he drove her crazy, she had missed him a lot. She took another glance out of the bag and watched as Marinette and Adrien both reached for a pencil at the same time and jumped as their hands touched. She noted how they each blushed and went for something else only for their hands to bump again and she gave a gasp. "Oh my God…Plagg this is so perfect!"

"It is?" Plagg replied confused as Tikki grabbed his shoulders and shook him, almost loosening his cheese from his grasp.

"Yes! Can't you see?" Tikki saw his blank expression and cleared her throat to explain. "Marinette has the hugest crush on Adrien and it's plain to see from the news that Chat Noir…"

"…has a huge crush on Ladybug, I know, I have to hear about it all the time." Plagg finished. "So?"

"So they are in love with each other but they don't realise it!" Tikki squealed excitedly. "They simply adore each other but don't realise it is the same person! Oh, this is so romantic!

"And confusing." Plagg added as Tikki stared out of the bag at the two of them with her button eyes shining. "My head is reeling…I need more cheese."

"Plagg!" Tikki said as he dug back into his precious Camembert. "We need to get them together, don't you see? They will never manage to on their own! They are simply perfect for each other like Romeo and Juliet!"

"Or like me and Camembert!"

"Plagg try to think of something else other than food for a minute!" Tikki started pondering and Plagg watched her quizzically as he gulped down his last morsel. "We just need a good plan, that's all…"

"Are you sure we can do this?" Plagg asked her doubtfully. "Remember we're not supposed to know about them or each other, they would flip if they found out. What can we do?"

"We'll think of something!" Tikki insisted, a grin on her face. "We are Miraculous, we can do anything!"

"I know we are." Plagg said as he flew to her side to watch Marinette and Adrien. He saw her give him a longing glance that he completely missed as he was staring at the image of Ladybug she had on her computer screen. He sighed deeply. "But it's going to take a miracle to get the pair of them to see that."

"Oh come on Plagg, you're always so pessimistic." Tikki said brightly. "Remember, we are magic…"

Marinette scribbled some more notes down on her page but her mind wasn't focused on the book she had open in front of her. Doesn't he know he looks so handsome when he does that? She wondered as she tracked the way his eyes flowed across the black lines of text, only pausing for him to write something down before continuing. She felt like she had almost died when their hands had touched and she knew her face was the colour of a flamingo right now with no sign of it cooling down. She tore her eyes away from him and took a quick look at her bag. Tikki was fine, she assured herself. Though I should probably sneak her some cookies, they are her favourite…

She was about to grab a cookie and take it over to the fairy when the room suddenly went dark. The blinds fell down across the windows with a loud clatter and Marinette squealed loudly as she jumped into the air. Around her candles suddenly started appearing, their flames bursting into life as her music system came on and started playing a slow sensual tune she was certain wasn't on there. She clung to whatever she had grabbed hold of and let out another shriek. What on earth was going on?

"Um Marinette? Do you know what is happening?" She heard Adrien say. He sounded, to her relief, just as perplexed and panicked as she did.

"No, I have no idea." She answered him, looking around the room for any more surprises.

"I thought so. Um…could you, um, not squeeze me as tightly?"

"Wha-" She looked down and their noses bumped into each other. She saw, to her horror and embarrassment, that she was engulfing him in her tight grip and was practically sitting in his lap. She was looking into his eyes up close and she could see every shade of green that lay within them, along with every mark on his skin, every groove on his lips…

She squeaked and let go of him, sending herself crashing to the floor in a heap. "Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to hug you, I mean it was nice to hug you but I didn't…"

"It's fine." He held out a hand to help her up and she took it, inwardly cringing as she felt her face burning again. He must think I'm the colour of a lobster all the time, she thought. I'm so useless…

"Well that was unexpected." Adrien tried to shrug it off as he opened the blinds. He gave his bag an angry look as Marinette turned away and switched the music off but he couldn't see Plagg's tricky little face anywhere. "Any idea where that came from?"

"No." Marinette replied honestly, with a glare at her own bag. Tikki wouldn't do this kind of thing, would she? "It is really strange. Weird things like that don't usually happen to me."

"I know, same here." They shared a look and each gave a nervous laugh before returning to the desk. "We should get back to this."

"Right…" Marinette giggled and gave a sheepish grin as they went back to reading the book. Behind the chaise longue, Tikki brought her hand to her head with a clapping sound and a deep sigh.

"This was never going to work Plagg."

"C'mon, did you not see the way they looked at each other? We were so close! All they need is a little more persuasion…"
