The next day at school Adrien didn't look any different but the only difference in school today was that Marinette looked like him and Alya tried to soothe her. Since Alya knows Marinette's secret identity, Marinette could tell her about the problem she got.

Nino on the other hand didn't know Adrien's secret identity so Adrien could tell Nino about his problems.

On Lunch break Adrien sat alone on the table in the dark corner far in the back so that no one could bother him. But to his dismay some people from his class came and began asking very personal questions. At first he tried to politely tell them to let him be but they wouldn't budge so he got angry.

"Alright Stop. STOP IT. Just fucking Stop it. Damnit can a model not have a single day of peace without being bothered by the whole fucking world?" He said and the whole cafeteria stared at him in disbelief.

"Fucking i'm tired of this shit" he said to himself and stood up.

"Get the fuck out of my way" he said and the students formed a path. Bit one of the students didn't move and stood in his way. He was 2 classes above Adrien and loved it to bully others. Not even chloe was so hated.

"Aaaw is the model angwy becuz his daddy didn't give him enough money" he mocked and this sent Adrien over the edge.

His Cat noir skills kicked in and he threw his tray in the students face and ran to him. In the second when the tray hit the students face Adrien's fist connected with the students stomach and made him bend into himself. Then the brain registered the pain in his face and the student held his face and laid curled up on the ground. Adrien picked his tray up and walked out. No one knew that the model had this in him.

Marinette had seen the whole ordeal and Alya had filmed it. Marinette had Alya sent her the footage so she could investigate it because something in Adrien bursting out like this reminded her like someone.


At home Marinette inspected the footage Alya sent her and then it clicked. Adrien hit the same way like Cat Noir when he Cataclysmed something. With his palm open and full force.

"This means..." she gasped and clutched her mouth. Her eyes started to tear up again as she realized she rejected, hurt, and slapped the boy she was actually in love with. And that exact boy was also in love with her too.

"Tikki! I know who he is!" She yelled out so loud that it's a miracle that no one heard her.

"What? who?" Asked Tikki bewildered but seconds later revelation hit her. Her eyes widened in disbelief. "How? I thought you didn't want to find out because of Chat Blanc?" The red Kwami asked.

"Yes but then i saw Adrien fight today and it reminded me of how Cat Noir fights" she said.

Tikki looked skeptically at her. "And you are sure about that?" She asked.

"I mean i can't just ask him like that, now can i. Right?"


The same Night, Ladybug made herself ready to go on patrol alone when she heard a thump behind her. She turned around and saw the shape of Cat Noir standing behind her.

"Hello Ladybug" he said with an suspiciously happy tone and a smile in the face. To happy...

She stared him blank in the face. "When we startin?" He asked.

"Uuh chat?" She asked consciously.

"Yes?" He replied with the same happy tone.

"You aren't mad anymore?" She asked skeptically.

"Nope" he said with a smug smirk. "So who takes which part?" He asked again.

Of course ladybug was happy but something was off. She didn't know what but she definitely knew that something was very different in him.

Then realization struck her. He didn't use any puns or Pick up lines.

"No Mi Lady or Bugaboo anymore?" She asked. His face fell immediately after that and his eyes filled with the cold emptiness she was used to from the last couple encounters. She had regretted her words immediately but his demeanor changed seconds later. He looked happy again and just shook his head and sniggered. "No ladybug. I'm done with this. From now on i'm not a lovestruck kitty anymore but only your partner. Nothing more. I mean you wanted this, didn't you"

"Why are you so different all of a sudden?" She asked and stretched an arm out to grasp his. He flinched a little bit caught himself again. "I haven't changed Ladybug, i just moved on" he said and turned around to wipe away a tear forming in his eye.

"So who's taking what?" He asked now again in his cheery tone.

"I'll take the west and you take the north. Okay?" She said with her head hanging low.
