{No POV}
The next day at school, Adrien couldn't stop himself from observing Marinette whenever he got the chance.
Oh, and it only made things harder on his heart that had already been deeply affected by her fight with Weredad the day before.
His first observation was that Marinette really positively was pretty much an Everyday Ladybug to the core.
In the span of the first half of the day Marinette had done a lot of things.
First, when she got to school a small boy was crying up on a teree because he was stuck since he had tried to get his cat down himself and Marinette quite literally rolled up her sleeves, put her stuff down on the ground out of harms way and climbed the tree nimbly gently and carefully getting the boy and even the cat down.
The second thing he noticed left him speechless.
Appearantly it had been Madame Mendeleiv's birthday and the entire class had forgotten except for her so...
Marinette took her gift, and with the use of a small swoing kit turned a silky summer scarf into silky handkerchiefs. She also managed to stop by the art room before the actual class and made gift boxes for each and every hankerchief.
So Madame Mendeleiv ended up having a pretty nice birthday class with their class all because of Marinette.
The third observation he made was during gym.
The teacher, who ended up being D'argencourt, his fencing instructor, decided that they would start with stretches in partners.
As he was stretching he noticed Nino looking at him freaked out and was about to ask what was wrong when Alya suddenly spoke loudly.
"Girl! You are seriously crazy flexible! There is no way I can partner with you!" Said Alya freaked out before grabbing Nino and begining to stretch with him.
That was when he saw what had freaked out Alya and had what had started to make the rest of the class freak out.
Marinette was doing gymnastics stretches during gym.
However when Alya spoke out loudly about her crazy flexibilty she just looked confused and said the following:
"What do you mean Alya? I'm not that flexible to be freaky am I?"
Which of course shocked everyone except Marinette as she shrugged and got back to doing stretches that he had only thought Ladybug was capable of.
Of course when he got back to stretching he got the same reaction as Marinette.
Finally, after school was over, he saw Marinette standing outside of the school about to head home when he made a final shocking observation.
Marinette was about to go home when she paused and a second later Lila approached her speaking into her ears something.
Adrien moved to a spot where he could see Lila's face and saw nothing but evil there as Lila spoke but he played it off thinking it was his imagination and decided to go back to where he had previously stood to better observe Marinette.
As he did, he noticed Marinette look surprised for a moment before she suddenly smiled said a couple words at Lila who was left standing there angrily and left putting on an earbud as she did.
Of course, when Adrien got home he vented to Plagg about his confusing day.
Plagg however was forced yet again to listen to his chosen's happenings at school and keep quiet.
He really wanted to tell Adrien that Ladybug was Marinette but the rules were the rules and there was also Tikki's threat.
When Adrien went to shower that night, Plagg shuddered as the memory replayed in his mind.
*Flash Back*
Plagg sighed as he waited in Adrien's bag for Tikki to join him for their daily chat about their chosens and the current events concerning Hawk Moth and their kwami friends.
Tikki joined soon looking happy but as they talked they unexpectedly happened upon the happenings during the Dark Owl mess.
"I still don't get why we don't make it easier on ourselves and them and just tell them."
"Because it's too dangerous right now, they must figure things out on their own."
Suddenly Tikki tensed as she felt that her chosen would very soon need her.
'Oh. I have to go.. and Plagg..." Spoke Tikki pausing momentarily before leaving.
"Yes sugarcube?!" Questioned Plagg feeling nothing but adoration and affection for his bug.
Tikki suddenly brought her face close to his with a lethal glare on her face.
"If you utter so much as a word to your chosen about my chosen's identity before they figure things out on their own... I WILL FIND YOU AND DESTROY YOU FOR ETERNITY. Got it?" Tikki threatened seriously.
Plagg swallowed nervously and agreed quickly, Tikki promptly smiling once more when he agreed and leaving back to her own Chosen's side.
*Flashback Over*
Thankfully when he came out of his reverie he was please to find Adrien sound asleep in bed and Plagg decided to just go to sleep too for the sake of his well being.
-At Marinette's-
Marinette yawned before finally falling asleep.
Tikki sighed amused and covered her chosen with her covers. Then she decided to sleep.
'Plagg better not say a word, or I will destroy his cheese obsessed butt for eternity.' Tikki thought to herself before thinking happy things and letting her mind drift into unconsciousness as sleep took over.
Fin.
