This is the first chapter in a 4 maybe 5 chapter fanfic about how they might reveal their secret identities. Probably not gonna happen like this though but its fluff and a great mix of all 4 of the pairings of Adrian and Marinette and Cat Noir and Ladybug.
No I will not be using Chat Noir instead of Cat Noir. I'm use to the English version and it says Cat so that's what I'll be writing.
I'm new to this fandom and I'm just having fun with this short spurt of inspiration so I hope you enjoy and be sure to leave me a review and let me know what you think about it.
Chapter 1: Ladybug and Cat Noir
Another day. Another Akumanized victim.
They'd been in this position before. Ladybug and Cat Noir were in a tight spot. Both her earrings and his ring was beeping, on the last spot, the last pad. Only a minute left.
Ladybug looked around franticly around for some place to transform back.
Cat Noir saw the panic in her eyes that flitted in and out when the possibility of revealing their identities to each other was upon them.
Ladybug spotted a closet and made her way to it but he caught her hand.
"Please." He said holding onto her hand tightly, "We've been fighting side by side for over two years."
She didn't meet his eyes. She knew perfectly well how long it had been. It had been the most interesting two years 6 months and 16 days since she'd become Ladybug and became the beloved red and black hero of the day. And what would all that time be without her kitty by her side.
"Please." He said again, "I need to know."
She heard the beeping louder and more frequent and yanked her hand from his and sprinted into the closet.
Cat Noir followed after her and grabbed the handle of the door before it could close all the way. There was a flash of red.
"Please." Said the voice of his lady, "Please understand. I just…. I can't."
His heart beat faster and her plea tugged at his heart strings. He pushed the door closed and heard her sigh in relief.
His heart screamed at him. That'd had been one of the chances he'd had to find out her identity.
His miraculous started beeping. He leaned against the door of the closet where his lady was. "Be safe ma'lady." He whispered then sprinted into that he knew was a room without windows. Which would was a good thing since there was Parisians outside with tones of questions.
Once behind the safety of the closed door he transformed back. He grabbed his kwami before he fell to the floor.
"Another chance and you didn't take it. You could have found out her identity." Plagg said.
"I know." Adrian said leaning his head against the door.
A now transformed back Marinette peaked out before she stepped out of the closet.
"That was a close one." Tikki said with a sigh of relief.
"Yea." She said looking in the direction where Cat Noir had gone.
She knew that there was a windowless room where he'd probably gone to transform back. She felt her feet carrying her towards the door. "Did you hear the sadness in his voice Tikki?" She said to the kwami, "He says he's in love with me and at times like that when his voice sounds the way it did; it makes me think that he does."
"Come on Marinette we have to go before he come out." She said tugging on her girl's jacket.
Marinette didn't stop until she made it to the door and leaned against it, "Good job today kitty." She said at a normal volume hoping he could hear.
He had his back to the door and when he heard her he turned and reached for the handle before stopping. "When?" he said his heart aching for the person on the other side of the door.
Marinette sighed, "I don't know."
"I love you." He breathed not sure if she'd be able to hear it or not.
She did.
But the next thing he heard was her shoes against the floor and the now repaired front door to the building.
He didn't move for a minute while Plagg ate his cheese and a minute for him to have enough energy to get home then he transformed back into Cat Noir and ran from the building.
That night when it was his turn to go on patrol he left his house after turning off his electronics and changing into his pajama's and putting a piece of not as stinky Camembert into his pocket before calling "Plagg Claws Out" and jumping to the nearest roof.
They had a "usual" meeting spot. It was close to the rood where he'd once prepared a little date for the two of them only to have her not show. That had been where he'd been told her heart belonged to another boy.
She was there watching the moon slowly rise behind the Eiffel Tower humming a song about herself made by Jagged Stone.
He smiled and jumped onto the roof. "Hey bugaboo." He said trying to sound chipper.
She turned to him and smiled, "Hey there Kitty." She patted the spot next to her in what he thought to be a cheerful mood.
"Is Paris on their best behavior?" he asked keeping a knee up to lean his arm on. It was an odd position and he couldn't be in it for very long but it felt comfortable for the time being.
"So far Paris is safe and hopefully Hawk Moth is sleeping now so he doesn't have time to send out another akuma."
"So," he said slowly.
"I don't want to talk about it." She said knowing where he was going.
"Ma'lady." He said about to try and persuade her but she stood.
"I gotta go. Let me know if something happens."
Cat Noir sighed reaching for her as she threw her yoyo and jumped off the roof.
Ladybug swung around the Eiffel Tower and looked back. Cat Noir was still sitting where she'd left him but she saw that he had his head in his hands and his ears were drooped.
She felt her heart ache for the boy who said he loved her. She tried to shake the feelings welling up inside her and focused on going home. Once there it would be harder to transform back and find him.
