Thank you so much to all that have enjoyed this! I'd just like to post a reminder that this fic is complete, and I am simply posting one chapter a day as I go through the editing process. Loving the comments and support. Thanks again!

Adrien Agreste was confused. He was confused over many things, but he had come to a very profound confusion, and it involved his classmate, Marinette.

Whenever he looked at her, his heart did this involuntary thump, which he was not particularly proud of. It implied things that he didn't want to be true. Not that there was anything wrong with Marinette.

There were times like when she became class president, when her confidence shone through her insecurities, and it made him delighted for her. She was her most attractive in that light. Not that he didn't find her attractive normally.

He seemed to have a type, liking girls with black hair and blue eyes. Not that there was anything wrong with having a type.

He was proud to know her, proud to be her friend, proud to be associated with her. He loved to see her talk about fashion, where she was most animated and comfortable. There was a passion that burned in her eyes that he admittedly adored. There was nothing wrong with that either.

Adored. He adored her. He loved Ladybug and he adored Marinette. Marinette was his classmate and his friend. He adored Nino as well. But it was different. Alright, there might be something wrong with that.

Not that there anything wrong about adoring Marinette.

Other than the fact that he loved Ladybug.

But he liked how brave she was and was always making sure everyone was safe during akuma attacks. He liked how she stood up to Chloe's demands or mean comments. He liked that she was strong, and there was nothing wrong with that.

He also liked that there was the off chance that they were probably the same person. They couldn't look so similar for nothing. And their behavior! Everything that he had loved about Ladybug were things that had drawn him toward Marinette in the first place.

Though it was entirely possible they weren't the same person and he was just really awful and in love with two different girls.

Adrien, who had been lying comfortably on his white couch, nearly fell when he came to his revelation.

"Plagg!" he screeched.

"What?" the kwami called lazily from across the room.

"I'm so stupid!" he continued, his distress ever present.

"What's new?" Plagg replied, rolling his eyes as he wandered over to Adrien's flailing form.

"And I'm screwed!"

"Because?"

"I think, I'm in love with Marinette."

"Good for you."

"And with Ladybug." Plagg paused for a moment before speaking.

"Hm. Well that sounds like a you problem." Adrien turned his distressed attentions to his friend.

"Plagg!"

"What do you want me to say kid? Congratulations are realizing it?"

"You knew?"

"No."

"Plagg, you're not helping!"

"Was I supposed to be? Marinette's nice. And she likes you. You probably have a better shot with her than with Ladybug." This information did not make Adrien feel significantly better in any way. Even if it was a little nice to think that Marinette might have liked him.

"But…"

"Okay, I helped. Give me cheese."

"Augh…"

Adrien had to face facts. Fact number one: he was in love with Ladybug. Fact number two: he was also in love with his classmate Marinette (who could have potentially been the same person but this was not a concrete fact and therefore could not be added as a fact in this list). Fact number three: Plagg needed to cut down on cheese.

Author's Note: Profound means emotionally intense right? Though, Plagg probably wasn't the one he should have been confessing to… This could have been done better but I had originally thought it was confusion instead of confession and at that point it was all too late…

Edit: Thank you to Queen Micky on FF for pointing out some continuity errors… the chapter has been updated with corrections.
