"So, my lady, how did your Valentine's Day go?" Chat Noir asked Ladybug as they were on patrol the night after. Adrien figured, if he figured out Marinette's identity, he should give up his to her.
But obviously not by telling her. That would be too easy.
So this was how he would start, by giving he hints to get her closer to his identity as Chat Noir.
Anyways, Ladybug looked in surprise at him.
"Don't you think it's too late now? That was a week ago." Chat shrugged and grinned.
"Well, I didn't get to ask you then. Both our miraculous kept beeping right after an Akuma attack."
"Yeah, I guess that's a good point. Mine isn't too interesting, to warn you. Anyway, I sent a poem I wrote to someone, but I'm 90% sure that I didn't sign my name on it." Chat laughed. Ladybug blushed and puffed out her cheeks.
"My lady, how could you forget to sign your name?" Chat asked her.
"I was talking to my friend when I wrote it. She talked about how ladybugs bring good luck in, and I quote, 'the love department.' And that's not even the first time that's happened either. What about you? With all the flirting you do, you must have gotten some cards." She smirked.
"More than you would think." Chat muttered under his breath, although Ladybug still caught it. "Actually, my story is similar to yours. Except I was the one that received an unsigned card. It actually seemed to answer a poem I wrote." Ladybug's eyes widened.
"O-oh really? What a coincidence..." Chat smiled at her.
"Seem that way. The streets look clear tonight and as much as I hate to say good-bye, I have some business to attend to. Have a good night, my lady." Ladybug smiled.
"Have a nice night, Chat." And with that they were off home.
Marinette was confused and slightly panicked.
On Valentine's Day, Chat got an unsigned card. She has sent an unsigned card to Adrien.
It was definitely a coincidence, right?
But, then if Marinette knew herself, she knows that she's the only one who would forget to sign a card they wrote to their long time crush. But if that was the only unsigned card, aside for all the anonymous ones of course, that would mean that Chat was Adrien.
Chat was Adrien...
Marinette blushed at the thought. That would mean that Adrien liked her. At least as Ladybug. And that would also mean that she...kissed...him.
Okay, she couldn't jump to conclusion, it could just be a coincidence! Right now, Marinette had no proof that Adrien was Chat.
And she wanted to keep their identities a secret anyways. Well, she did. Now, she wasn't so sure.
After that kiss, Marinette wasn't exactly sure what she thought of her partner. She had felt something in that kiss, even thought it was only to save him. Her feeling for him were changing without her control. She still like Adrien, but then there was Chat...
But if they were the same person...
Ugh! This was all to complicated for Marinette. She got ready for bed and went to sleep as best she could with all her racing thoughts.
Oh crap, she was going to see Adrien at school tomorrow. How was she going to talk to him if she thought he was Chat Noir?
And how would she talk to Chat if he was Adrien? Oh gosh...
Add that to the list of racing thoughts.
Marinette and Adrien were acting very weird, Alya and Nino noticed.
For one thing, Adrien couldn't take his eyes off Mari. He seemed to be really interested in her every since Rose was akumatized. And Alya and Nino couldn't figure out why.
Alya hoped it was because he had fallen for Marinette.
Heh, if only she knew how right she was.
As for Marinette, she seemed to be avoiding him. Not even glancing at him when his back was turned like she normally would. The only thing that hadn't changed was that she blushed whenever he smiled he her when she did look at him.
Alya had no idea what happened and, with Nino, wanted to find out what happened between them.
Marinette wasn't going to enjoy this.
"So, what's going on?" Alya asked Marinette during lunch. She blushed.
"What?! N-Nothings going on. Everything's fine, you know, just being normal Marinette." She said to Alya.
Alya wasn't buying it, unfortunately for her.
"Oh really? You've been avoiding Adrien more than usual today. Did something happen between you two?" Alya smirked. Marinette blushed again.
"Nope! I'm just worried after overhearing him talking about that l-love letter. I mean, how am I supposed to face him if he asks me about it?" Thankfully, Alya bought this.
"Oh, so that's what you're worried about. Just don't deny it, tell him you're the one who sent it."
"But what if he likes someone else?"
"Don't worry, Mari. You are amazing and I'm sure Adrien knows by now. He was staring at you all day." Marinette didn't think her face could get any redder at this point.
"W-Was he?" Alya nodded.
"Yep! He's totally fallen for you!"
Meanwhile, Nino and Adrien were having a similar conversation.
"So, dude, what's up with you?"
"What do you mean?" Nino laughed.
"Don't play dumb dude, Me and Alya saw you staring at Marinette today in class. Have you finally fallen for her?" Adrien blushed.
"What do you mean finally?" Nino smirked. Similar to Alya for some reason.
"Bro, Mari's had a crush on you for a long time. How have you not noticed it?" Adrien blushed a deeper red.
"N-No, I'm sure that's not the case. Sh-She doesn't like me that way. I mean, remember how we first met? I don't think she likes me a whole lot. And especially not in that way." Nino gave him a reassuring smile.
"Adrien, I know that Marinette doesn't think of you like that. She likes you, dude. I mean, didn't you see the way she was blushing when she caught you smiling at her. A lot like yours now."
Adrien blushed some more before hitting a laughing Nino in the arm.
