Marinette and Adrien were both talking during lunch. Although, she was super curious about what Chloe and Alya were talking about, she decided to not ask him about it. It seemed like he didn't want her to know.
For some reason.
Anyways, Alya and Nino left them alone for now. Luck was on Adrien's side at the moment, as Chloe wasn't even bothering them.
And although they had conflicting feelings, both were happy to be in each other company. They both had a great time talking to each other the other day in the bakery, and they did agree that they had to hang out more, so that's exactly what they did.
Adrien found that Marinette was very sassy and funny. A lot like Ladybug. She was also a lot more confident talking to him now than she was before. She was very fun to talk to, Adrien knew this already, but he was still happy to experience it himself. He did always want to talk to her all the time after seeing her laughing with Alya, Nino, and everyone else in class, but he didn't want to make her uncomfortable. He was glad to know that he didn't actually make her feel that way.
Marinette found that Adrien was a lot like Chat Noir in many ways. He wasn't a huge flirt with her like Chat was with LB, but Adrien did give some pretty terrible puns like the superhero. Though, she did secretly enjoy hearing both of their puns, not that she would ever tell them that. He was a very fun person to be around and she was comfortable around him now.
Right now at the moment, both of them were just asking each other random questions.
"So how's your fashion career going for you? Especially after designing all that stuff for Jagged Stone." Marinette blushed for two reasons, one, she liked that he was so interested in her designs and how its going for her, and two, this brought up the memory of when he asked for her autograph.
"Oh, it going really well, actually. Jagged Stone is really interested in my work and other people are getting interested as well. I've actually gotten a lot more people making requests for stuff."
"Yeah, that makes sense. You're a really good designer and after people see what you designed for a celebrity, of course you'd get popular. So do they pay you to design them things?"
"Um, I don't ask them too, but most of them give me something. Sometimes I get tickets for Jagged Stone's concerts." Marinette grinned. Adrien gasped.
"That's amazing, Mari. You know you're definitely going to be famous one day right?" Marinette blushed and giggled. But she thought,
'If only you knew how famous I already am.' Alya and Nino came up next to them.
"So what are you two lovebirds talking about?" Alya asked them and laughed and both turned red.
"W-We're just talking about fashion. Mostly my designs, though." Marinette answered.
"Oh, like the time you designed that cover for Jagged Stone and Adrien asked for your autograph?"
Both teens blushed again before hitting their two laughing friends.
Later on patrol that night, Ladybug was doing a lot of thinking.
Should she ask Chat if he wanted to reveal their identities or not? She was so conflicted since she didn't want her partner to be disappointed in her. He'd also wanted to do this since the beginning and now she wanted to? It wasn't all that fair to him. Plus, he might not love the girl behind the mask.
But there was a chance that he wouldn't be disappointed and may like her under the mask. There was a chance that maybe he was just waiting for her to make up her mind. Marinette didn't know what to do, and she did not want to wait another night to make up her mind. This was the night she'd decide.
She was going to do it. She was going to ask him. No more waiting.
"The streets look clear, my lady. I'm pretty paw-itive that no akuma will bug us tonight." Ladybug rolled her eyes, but smiled at Chat Noir's pun.
"Yeah, I think we're good to go."
"Purr-fect. So should I get going, Bugaboo? Are we done with patrol for the night?"
"Can you spar some time, Chat? I need to ask you something." Chat Noir was puzzled by the nervous look on her face.
"Everything alright, my lady?"
"Yeah! I-I just um..." She took a deep breath. "I want to know you under the mask!" She shut her eyes and clenched her fist at her side. Chat's eyes widened. He was taken aback. She wanted to know who he was...
"I know that you've wanted to know for so long, and I didn't want to because I didn't want to give my identity. But, I'm ready now, I think. But, it's totally okay if you don't want to, I'm kinda springing this onto you, so-" Chat chucked, stopping her rant. He grinned at her.
"You sure you're ready for this? I'm kinda amazing." Ladybug chucked.
"Yeah, I'm ready. And you are amazing. Just know that I won't judge you you are under your mask. And promise that you won't be disappointed when you see me, okay?" Chat smiled at her.
"No problem." Then he blushed as he remembered what he had thought when he first fell in love with her. "You wanna know what my first thought was when I fell in love with you? It was, 'Wow. Doesn't matter who's under that mask but, I love her, this girl.' I still think that, you know." Ladybug blushed.
"Thank you. Okay! I'll go first, is that okay? I mean, you have been asking forever." Ladybug asked as she smiled. Chat nodded. She took a deep breath, and let out her transformation.
I think there are only about two or three more chapters left, we'll see.
How'd you guys like the end...hehehehe
Anyways, I'm going to get working on the next chapter right after I post this, so I hopefully get it out tomorrow.
Sorry, I meant to have this out sooner, but my laptop had to update and I didn't have it for two days. Not to mention, I've had to read a whole book and practice my clarinet.
Was/Is anyone ready for school to start up after spring break? I'm not. At. All. Only two months of school left though...
