She took a deep breath and let out her transformation. The pink red light surrounded her and transformed her suit back to her normal clothes. She opened her eyes and glanced over at Tikki. Tikki just grinned and nodded her head over at Chat Noir, who was staring in awe. His face was also turning...red for some reason? Marinette just clasped her hands in front of her and stared up at him. She gave a shy smile.
"So, this is the girl under the mask. Marinette Dupain-Cheng." Chat Noir smiled.
"So, why would you think that I would be disappointed? You-You're amazing as you are right now. How could anyone be disappointed in you?" Marinette blushed and pulled her partner in for a hug.
"Thanks, Chat. That was a big reason why I didn't want to tell you who I was. That, and safety reasons, but Tikki said that it would be fine now." Marinette told him as she pulled away. Chat Noir blushed as she smiled at him. He grinned and got ready to release his transformation.
"You ready for this, Princess? I think you'll be pretty surprised." Marinette blushed.
"Yeah, if you're who I've been thinking you are...Oh, never mind." Chat Noir smiled and let out his transformation. A green light surround him, and just like Mari's, turned his suit back to his normal clothes. He glanced over at Plagg, but didn't get to say anything, as the cat kwami spoke up first.
"So, you're finally doing it huh. About time." Adrien blushed. Marinette stared at him a awe. She mentally slapped herself for falling for the same guy twice.
Adrien looked over at her. He blushed again, like he had been pretty much the whole night.
"Uh, yeah. It's me, Adrien Agreste."
"Yeah, I was thought it was you." She let out a small chuckle. "So you're Chat Noir. I never would've guessed." Adrien chuckled.
"Yeah, I know. I never would've guessed you were Ladybug. Although, getting closer to you I could see the similarities. Plus, pair that with the evidence that you had to be in my class, and it all points to you."
"Yeah, that's some solid evidence there. Same goes for you. So, that's your kwami?" Marinette asked looking at Plagg. Plagg nodded.
"Yep. I'm the reason Adrien gets to smell like cheese all the time." Adrien rolled his eyes and Marinette giggled.
"This is Tikki, she's my kwami." Tikki flew out.
"Hi! Nice to finally meet you, Marinette talks about you all the time." Marinette blushed. Tikki smiled at Plagg, her best friend who she hadn't seen in forever. "Hey, Plagg! Long time no see." Plagg rolled his eyes.
"I kept telling Adrien to just ask her to reveal their identities. Wouldn't that make everyone happy, gosh." Tikki giggled and Plagg smiled. The kwami spent a little while catching up while Marinette and Adrien watched their conversation. Plagg and Tikki really were best friends, and Adrien could tell by the way he acted around her. He really was just a softie inside.
The two teen didn't really talk all that much about it, needing to take the whole thing in for the night. They transformed back and said goodnight to each other.
"So, I'll see you tomorrow then, Princess?" Ladybug smiled.
"Yeah, she you tomorrow, Kitty." Chat then suddenly wrapped his arms around her in a hug. Marinette was surprised, but hugged him back.
"I'm glad it was you Mari. You have no idea." She blushed.
"Yeah, me too. I don't think I'd want it any other way."
The next day of school, the atmosphere around Marinette and Adrien had changed a lot. Both of them seemed to have gotten closer very quickly and suddenly. Alya and Nino weren't all that surprised with the way Adrien had been acting the weeks before.
Since he was more fun to tease, Alya decided to go and talk to him about his newfound closeness to Marinette, and Nino would talk to her.
Oh, the fun Alya's going to have.
"So, Adrien, what's up with you and Marinette? I swear, the relationship you guys have is constantly changing very fast. What's up with that, huh?"
"Oh, uh...Nothing's changed." He said quickly. Alya smirked and Adrien suddenly got the urge to run and hide from her.
"Uh huh. Yeah, like I'm gonna believe that. You've gone from seeing her as a friend, to staring at her in class, to having the biggest crush on her. And you're telling me nothing's up? I'm not buying it, buddy." Adrien blushed and turned his head away.
"Nothing's up, it's just...I-"
"You're hopelessly in love with Mari?" He blushed a deeper red.
"Yeah, and I feel like I know a whole other side of her now than I did before. I just...I don't know how to tell her that I love her..." He drifted off into his thoughts. Alya thought about this for a moment too.
"You should just tell her. Now, don't tell Marinette I told you this but, she's had the biggest crush on you since that day you gave her that umbrella. You know that she doesn't like you for you're looks either. It's something deeper, but you're going to have to ask her yourself if you wanna find out. And think about why you love her and tell her that as you confess your love." Adrien smiled.
"Thanks Alya. You give surprisingly good advice."
"And you surprisingly know nothing about love for someone who had girls practically falling at your feet."
"Touche."
"Marinette, dude, what happened with you and Adrien? You've been acting pretty strange with all the relationship changes lately."
"Huh, what do you mean?" Marinette looked at him.
"Mari, the dude had been acting completely in love with you since a few weeks ago, what did you do?"
"I didn't do anything! I just...I found a whole other side of Adrien. I've gotten to know him for that side and I'm just falling in love with it too. I don't want him to think that I like him for just being a model, but I don't know how to actually confess to him." Marinette frowned. Nino gave her a small smile.
"I can assure you that Adrien does not think that. He's totally head over heel for you, dude. That's what the past weeks' relationship change has been about. He has really fallen for you Mari. And here's some advice. Just talk to the guy and be yourself. Because, he really loves you." Marinette blushed and smiled.
"Thanks Nino. You're the best." She took him in a side hug, which he returned.
"Good luck, Marinette!"
I totally adore the relationship between Nino and Marinette. It's so cute! ^.^
