Chapter Text
On Notré Dame
"My'Lady I... I... love you so do you accept me?" Chat Noir asked with love and kindness in his eyes.
"Chaton, I... I... can't reply to you. I fell in love with sweet, loving classmate, after he gave me his umbrella. I've just been falling more in love with him ever since then," Ladybug replied with a small frown.
"It better not be my alter ego," Chat Noir said jokingly. Then at his words he saw his lady tense up.
"A... A... Adrien?" Ladybug said timidly. That was a side of his Lady that he never saw. He was so use to the fierce, confident, strong, and brave side of his lady.
"What did you say?" Chat Noir said even though he knew what his lady had said. "You like Adrien Agreste? Are you sure it's not a celebrity crush?" Then realized that she had said sweet, loving classmate that he gave her given an umbrella. The only person he gave a umbrella to was Marinette though. If Marinette was Ladybug Alya would know.
"No, it's not a celebrity crush. I really do know him you could say that we are friends. I mean my best friend is dating his so you could say that we are friends," Ladybug replied.
Then he had realized that Marinette was his lady and that she had a crush on him. "Well it's getting pretty late so I go to go. Bye, My Lady," Chat Noir said giving Ladybug a kiss on the knuckles.
"Bye, Chaton," Ladybug replied before she swung away on her yo-yo.
Marinette's room
"Tikki, spots off," Marinette said as she heads down stairs to get her a cookie. "Hold on Tikki let me go get you a cookie. The we need to talk."
"Thank you, Marinette,"Tikki said as she received a cookie. After she was down eating the they stated to talk. "So Marinette what did you want to talk about?"
"Something is up with Chat. He seemed distracted by something as he left," Marinette replied with a sigh. "Something seemed to be bothering him."
"I don't know." Tikki replied matching Marinette's sigh. But I'm sure Plagg is going to get a ear full from Adrien.
Adrien's Room
"Give me my camembert, kid," Plagg whined. "And why did you end patrol so early. You didn't have anything to do."
"Because, Plagg I realized that Marinette is My Lady. What am I going to Mari hates me?!! She can't even talk to me straight," Adrien complained. Wait how did Mari keep the secret from Alya.
"No, if you heard what Ladybug said she said 'I fell in love with a sweet, loving classmate' then after you joked about it being your alter ego. Then she said Adrien. So that must mean she has a crush on you. Now give me camembert," Plagg said as he ate his camembert.
"L... Ladybug likes me which means Marinette likes me. How am I supposed to function tomorrow! My Lady has always been sitting behind me. She doesn't know I'm Chat right?" Adrien replied with confusion and wonder in his emerald eyes.
"I don't know. Tikki never told me," Plagg explained with annoyance in his voice.
"Wait who is Tikki? Is she Marinette's kwami? Does this mean that you knew that Marinette was Ladybug?!?" Adrien said with realization in his voice. He seriously knew and he didn't tell him what type of friend does that!
"Yes, I knew but since your spotted lady didn't want to know each other identities I couldn't say anything," Plagg explained.
"What am I supposed to do? Do I just walk to and say 'My Lady we need to talk' or do I say 'Hey Mari can we talk after class'," Adrien said absent minded.
"Go with the second choice it will give her time to think about what you are going to say. How do even that Marinette is Ladybug," Plagg said with a questioning tone.
"Well is she Ladybug please tell me. I'm desperate," Adrien begged while get down on his knees to beg.
"I need two wheels of camembert," Plagg said in a demanding voice.
"Ok done deal now tell me. I need to know who My Lady is," Adrien pleaded. Adrien started to get to get the cheese.
"She is," Plagg answered quietly. "Now give me my cheese."
Adrien gave him his cheese and went to get to bed so he can get up early so maybe the could talk before class. While he is laying in bed he pulls out his phone and text Marinette, Nino, and Alya so maybe they could get breakfast before class.
Adrien: Hey guys want to meet up and have breakfast at The Corner Cafe for 7:45?
Alya: Sure Nino and I will be there.
Mari: I will be there
Adrien: See you all there :3
"Well I'll be able to see My Lady before class. Good night Plagg. Enjoy your cheese," Adrien said
At The Cafe Corner
"Hey guys," Marinette said pulling out a chair.
"It's a miracle that you are on time for once," Alya joked.
"Hey Mari. Do you wan to go up and order?" Adrien said.
"Um... S... sure," Marinette stuttered out. Yeash Marinette get a hold of yourself you are Ladybug you fight villains for a living, but you can't talk to your crush. Get a hold of yourself. "I mean yeah let's go order."
"Order two croissants for Nino and I," Alya ordered. What the heck is the matter with Marinette she said a coherent sentence. Did something happen? Then the two friends walk up to the counter to order. I
"Ok four croissants should be good and French Vanilla Coffee. Unless you want something else," Adrien said with worry in his voice.
"French Vanilla is fine and plus they are really good to dip croissants in. I for one should know," Marinette said without stuttering.
"What would you like? Oh you guys are the cutest couple I've ever seen," The women behind the counter said with a twinkle in her eye. Her name tag read Crystal.
"Oh we are not a couple," Adrien and Marinette say at the same time. They both thought yet hopefully.
"Oh... um... sorry that must make that awkward," The women said apologetic in her voice. "So what do you want."
"Four croissants and French Vanilla Coffee," Adrien says pulling out his wallet. Then after taking the order Crystal walked away to order the things.
"I'll pay for half you pay for the other half. Adrien? Are you ok? Your face is all red. Do you have a fever?" Marinette said with worry and love in her eyes. Then she reached up and touches Adrien's head. "You don't have a fever."
"That will be 12 euros," Crystal said as she walks out from the back and sees Marinette's hand on Adrien's head. "Are you sure your not a couple?"
"Y... Y... Yeah we're not dating," Adrien manages to stammer out.
"Here you go," Marinette a says hand the women twelve euros.
"Here you go four croissants and French Vanilla Coffee. Enjoy!" Crystal said with a happy tone.
When they get back to the table they start to talk until it became time to go to school.
On the way to school "H... H... Hey M... Mari can we talk after class?" Adrien stammers out.
"Yeah sure, Adrien," Marinette said without thinking twice.
When the four friends reached the school steps the the raging blonde headed girl came up and wrapped her arms around Adrien's neck.
"ADREKIENS what are you doing with those nobodies. When you could be hanging out with someone like us. Get away from him Maritrash!" Chloe says angrily and walks off pulling Adrien by the wrist.
"Well there goes Adrien," Marinette says and starts to walk to class. "Come let's not be late for once."
Near the End of Class
"Everyone knows what time of year it is. So girls get those dresses, boys get a tux and everyone get a date because prom is coming up. The theme this year is Free Style Year so you are going to dress elegant," Madame Bustier said with glee.
"Of course Adrien is going to be taking me to prom," Chloe announces.
"Sorry Chlo I already have somebody in mind and its not you," Adrien explained. Sorry not sorry Chloe.
"UGHH DADDY!" Chloe screams then runs out of the classroom with Sabrina following.
RRRRRIIIIIIINNNNNNGGG
"So Adrien what's up," Marinette says walking up to Adrien.
"Oh um can we um speak in private M... Marinette,"Adrien states sheepishly while he rubs the back of his neck.
"Oh um sure," Marinette replies "Alya go on ahead I'll meet you later." She says over her shoulder.
"You better Marinette or I will track you down," Alya replies jokingly "I'm going to update the Ladyblog in the library meet me there after."
Adrien and Marinette start to walk away when they hear a shriek.
"Adrikins what are you doing with Maritrash," Chloe screams at the top of her lungs.
"Well Chloe--" Adrien started but was cut off by Marinette.
"Because Chloe he wanted to talk to me about something," Marinette says then turns and starts to walk away. "You coming Adrien?" She turns back and says in a sweet tone.
They walk to the park and sit on a bench in silence.
"So um what did you want to talk about?" Marinette said sweetly.
"My... My Lady?" Adrien said and at his words he fells Marinette tense up. Did she really hate Chat that much that she freaks out at his names?
"Wha... What did you call me?" Marinette said with confusion in her voice.
"My Lady are you okay," Adrien managed to say before she gave him a hug and then stood up.
"I... I... need time to process this, Chaton. We will finish this talk at patrol tonight," Marinette finished and then left him alone.
In the Library
"Hey Gurl over here," Alya whispered yelled while she waved her arm. When Marinette got closer to her she started to talk. "Have you seen my two favorite heroes lately."
"And what is that, Alya?" Marinette questioned.
"Look what I found! I got video of running around Paris playing tag. Who knew they had such a childish side. What do you think there age is?" Alya rambled. Maybe I can get a interview from them to get their general age.
"I knew," Marinette said quickly and quietly.
"What was that Marinette? I didn't catch that," Alya said with a suspicious tone.
"Maybe I could get you another interview is what I said," Marinette tried.
"Gurl you read my mind. Could you really do that?" Alya asked excitedly.
"Yeah I can pull a few strings to get you one," Marinette maybe this time with Adrien. hopefully Tikki won't kill me.
"THANKS GURL YOU ARE THE BEST!" Alya screamed
"Shhhhhhh!" some unhappy person said.
"I'm going to go get som questions ready. Call me when she is ready," Alya said running out of the library.
Patrol that Night
Chat is sitting quietly on the ledge of Notré Dame. Patiently waiting for his lady when he hears a couple foot steps behind him.
"My Lady, I... I'm sorry," Chat said quietly.
"For what, Chaton. You didn't do anything wrong. I'm should be saying sorry I ran away earlier leaving you sad you could have been akumatized. That would have been my fault and I wouldn't be able to defeat you," Ladybug explained with tears swelling in her eyes. "I'm so sorry, Adrien."
Chat gets and gives Ladybug a hug and say. "I don't care about that all I care is that you are here with me," he pauses then whispers. "My Lady? Will you go to prom with me. The school is thinking about having us there as the honored guest. My Lady will you go with me?"
"Only if you get me out of what I got us in," Ladybug said.
"What did you get us into," Chat Noir said with worry in his voice.
"A interview for the Ladyblog, but this time we both have to be there," Ladybug replied matching his tone.
"Yes! One interview isn't that bad. Then I'll be able to go to the dance with My Lady," Chat Noir exclaimed.
"Hold on let me call Alya. What times are you open for tomorrow? What about Patrol time? Is that good?" Ladybug asked with thankfulness in her eyes.
"Why don't we go do that now," Chat answered.
"Ok I have detransform to call Alya. Tikki! Spots off!" Ladybug says then a pink glow covers her the appears in her place is Marinette Dupain-Cheng.
"Hey Gurl. What time when and where is the interview going to be?" Alya said very quickly.
"Oh um be at the park across from school in fifteen minutes. I won't be there but LB and Chat will," Marinette said to her best friend.
"Thank you so much Gurl I'm gonna give you a hug so tight your face turn purple," Alya explained.
"Bye!" Marinette exclaimed while turning to Chat Noir. "So I see you met Tikki. Tikki spots on! Let's go Chaton."
"Wait one second. My Lady how did you keep this a secret from Alya for so long?" Chat asked with curiosity in his voice.
"Well I always come up with an excuse then I leave and got to transform. While she is running out of class to go to the akuma place," Ladybug explained. "Ok let's go before we are late."
In the Park
"OMG I can't believe that you are really came. How did Marinette get a hold of you?" Alya asked
"Is this part of the interview?" Chat Noir asked sarcastically. Then the super duo sat down on a near by bench.
"First question, Is LadyNoir finally a thing?" Alya ask with excitement in her tone.
"My Lady will answer that," he says with a snicker. Then looks over at his lady and she is looking back at him with a death glare.
"That is actually what we were talking about on our way over. Could you give us a minute to talk?" Ladybug answers. She gets up to talk to Chat without an answer.
"So how should we answer, Buginette?" Chat question.
"No because Paris comes first?" Ladybug says with confidence in her tone.
"Yeah I agree with you Buginette ," Chat answers. They start to walk back over to Alya.
"No, we are not a couple. Paris will always come first even before my parents and best friend knowing." Ladybug replies with a sad look but confident tone.
"Ah so no LadyNoir, at least not yet. Second question do you know each other's identity?" Alya asked.
"Oh um we just just found out our identities this past week," Chat answered before Ladybug could say anything.
"Will you ever tell Paris who you guys are?" Alya asked with a hopeful tone.
"Sorry, Alya but no to protect our parents and our friends," Ladybug answers knowing that it was the best for everyone.
"Third do you know each other outside the mask like before you were revealed?" Alya asked.
"Yeah we actually go to the same school," Chat answers with out thinking.
"Chat Noir I can't believe you said that," Ladybug said with disbelief and shock in her voice.
"That brings me to my final question. What is your age? I mean I have video of you guys running around Paris playing tag," Alya questions.
"We are 15-18 years old," Chat and Ladybug said as they look over at each other.
"Wait so you guys are like teenagers. Being a hero is your job and you are only teenagers. I barely manage school never mind being a full time super hero. How do you get out of school. Do your parents know you are super heroes?" Alya spit out.
"Our parents don't know parents they would freak out," Ladybug explained.
"Thank you Marinette for getting me this pawsome interview with the super duo of Paris and for helping me find out some new thing on them. Well stay tuned with the Ladyblog. This Alya signing out." Alya said stopping the recording. "Thank you so much for taking time out of your busy day to do this for me."
"Your welcome Alya," The super duo said in unison. "It's the least we could do for our most dedicated fan."
"We will finish talking about what we were talking about earlier tomorrow, Chaton. Bug out!" Ladybug finishes.
Before school the next day
"Hey Gurl! Thank you so much for setting me up with that interview. I found out some interesting news. Watch the Ladyblog to find out ok," Alya said while crushing Marinette in a hug.
"How did Maritrash get an interview with my hero and I'm her biggest fan and she hasn't even given me an interview," Chloe rages getting closer to Marinette. "So tell me Marinette how did you get a interview with thee Ladybug."
"You know with Evillustrator incident. Well I filled in for her while she was on secret mission. So she came by that night to check on me and she said if I ever needed a favor she help me out. So last night when she was patrolling they alway cross over near the school. So I waved and she came over to check out what was up. So I asked to do the interview for Alya," Marinette said almost running out of breath.
"Get her to come to my room next time you see her," Chloe said plead in her voice.
"Sorry I only had one favor," Marinette said with a little annoyance in her voice. Then she turned and left.
"You are going to do it or I'm going to call daddy. He is the mayor and I always get what I want," Chloe wined like a five year old.
"No," Marinette said without looking back at her. While Alya stared in awe.
"How did you stand up to Chloe like that?" Alya asked
"Oh it is so easy," Marinette said.
In class
"Hey, Adrien. Hey, Nino. Did you guys hear that Alya got an interview with the super duo?" Marinette said already knowing the answer.
"Hey Nino. Adrien," Alya said giving Nino a kiss on the cheek. Then shaking her head Adrien with a smile.
"You Guys want to have lunch at my house? We can UMS3," Marinette asked.
"Yeah!" The three friends replied with excitement.
At Marinette's house
"Hey mama and papa. I brought a few friends over to have lunch is that ok?" Marinette asks with the baby doll eyes.
"Yes of course sweet heart. What would you like for lunch, kids?" Ms. Cheng asks with kindness in her tone.
"Can we just have some sandwiches, Ms. Cheng," The four friends answer.
"Yes of course it peanut butter and jelly ok or do you boys have peanut allergies?" Ms. Cheng ask with worried tone.
"No ma'am we have no allergies," Adrien and Nino reply politely.
"Mama we are going to play UMS3. Love you," Marinette says as she walk upstairs to the house. "I'm going to beat you." She says as she turns on the game system.
"Here you children go," Ms. Cheng says handing the four friend a sandwich and a glass of milk. "Enjoy!"
"Thank you," They reply then start eating and playing. Of course Marinette won all the games.
