When class is over, you cover your face with the hood of your blouse and walk next to Alya to the exit. She'd go to Marinette's house, you wave goodbye and say you'll be there later. Before you had something to do.

You dismiss your driver and take a path to an empty alley, making sure you aren't being followed.

You take out your cell phone to send a message to Chat Noir. But a notification says the city is under an attack by Akuma.

You curse as you put your cell phone back, knowing that he wouldn't be able to answer you right now.

You decide to go to Marinette's house, being closer, you cannot stay on the street while the city is being attacked.

As you walk down the sidewalk, your phone vibrates in your pocket, there was a message saying that Akuma's threat was stopped.

"How fast, they're getting good at it." You say to yourself as you raise your head looking at the sky, hoping to see magical ladybugs flying around.

"Ooh." You end up seeing Ladybug jumping across the rooftops, you cross the street so you can see her better.

You speed up the pace so you don't lose sight of her. When you realize it, Marinette's house is across the street.

You freeze in place when you see her landing on Marinette's balcony. The ladybug outfit disappears like magic, leaving only her ordinary clothes.

"Holy shit..." You let out the expletive.  Your jaw drops, you take it a while to process the information.

Marinette is the Ladybug!

Damn... I think I shouldn't have seen that.

You take a step back and turn to go away. You knew you weren't going to act naturally around her now. After all, you've just discovered that your friend is the heroine who protects this city every day, taking risks.

You thought about how your clumsy friend could have all that responsibility on her back. It made sense now all the excuses that she was late.

You're now between a mental debate with yourself. Deciding if you just kept that secret and pretended that you saw nothing or told her that you knew and tried to resolve it.

You sigh in defeat, you didn't know what to do. If you could go back in time, you'd rather never have found out.

It made you think of Chat Noir. What would be your reaction when it came time for him to tell you who he is? 

You'd definitely be surprised if it was someone you knew, you mentally hoped that you didn't know him, it'd be easier to meet a new person than to be someone you know and never realized it was him.

You laugh ironically when you remember what he said to you yesterday.

He's right... Damn it

I hate it when he's right!

You were so thoughtful that you weren't even looking at where you were walking.

You accidentally bump into someone who was with a group of people.

"I'm sorr-" you're interrupted. "I do not believe! You're the Kisser Girl!" The girl you bump into, screams.  You realize that your hood has fallen off, you put it back on and laugh awkwardly by turning around to go away.

Kisser Girl? Really?

Almost a year ago they still didn't get over that video.

"Wait!" You start running and look back, realizing that she and her friends are chasing you.

You run as fast as you can and turn the corner into an alley, luckily they pass right by.

"What do you do so far from home?" A familiar voice comes from above a roof, you turn to see Chat Noir landing in front of you.

You sigh with relief and wrap your arms around him pulling him in for a hug.

"I came to visit a friend but ended up being chased by 'fans'." You explain by taking a step away to find his green eyes, which were strangely serious.

"How did you find me?" You ask by observing how his serious expression doesn't waver.

"I was looking for you. Shouldn't you be in your Chinese class? Come on, I'll take you to." He puts an arm around your waist and takes you up.  As he jumps across the rooftops you say excitedly:

"Didn't I tell you? I don't need to go anymore, it's summer vacation! We've 3 months to enjoy together!" He just nods.

"So I'm going to take you home. Or do you have somewhere else to be?" He asks. There was a certain distrust in his tone, but your thoughts went to Marinette preventing you from noticing.

It reminds you, should you go and see Marinette? You told Alya you would be there, but now you had a lot to think about.

I think I better not tell her that I know for now, she already has too many worries to deal with.

With no answer, Chat Noir looks at you and finds your face thoughtful.

What's she hiding from me?

If there was a way for me to ask without looking suspicious...

You only left your thoughts when Chat Noir put you on the balcony floor of your room.

"From your suspicious silence, should you really be anywhere else?" He asks as he follows you inside, closing the sliding door behind him.

"No, I was thinking. You said you were looking for me before, why?" You throw your backpack on the bed and jump on the couch taking the remote.  You pat the empty spot next to you by calling Chat Noir.

"Nothing important, I just wanted to see you." You feel him sit next to you and put an arm around your shoulder pulling you close while you choose a movie.

You smile amused and turn your face to look at him, he kept an oddly closed expression.

"See me? Yesterday you practically ran away from me." You scoffed. He doesn't answer, it's like he's having a mental debate with himself.

Is that? Is she upset with me?

"Chat Noir?" He blinks and looks at you. "You're strangely serious. Did something happen?" He shakes his head and forces a smile in response.

"No, really nothing. How was your day?" He changes the subject. "Oh! I almost forget! Do you know if Ladybug could do me a favor?" asking that was strange, now that you know who she was. But you decided to keep it to yourself.

Chat Noir looked at you perplexed. "I don't know, it depends, what could you want with her?" He asks interested.

"Well, I asked a friend to make a drawing for me. So he asked me if I could talk to you, to contact Ladybug, to do an interview with her for a comic book he's making with another friend of his." You explain excitedly.  He blinks in surprise and looks away, hiding his expression of regret.

He felt stupid for being suspicious of you. You never gave him reason to suspect you before, yet he did. He really wanted to take the thought away, but it came automatic. After all, you two didn't have a normal relationship. Chat Noir wondered if he was really making the right decision to keep his identity secret to you.

The uncertainty, the fear of rejection, grew just by thinking about telling you. But he'd have to say it in some moment, to get this relationship going.

He comes out of his thoughts when he feels you gently squeezing his hand, he raises his head to meet your face with an amused smile.

"Did you understand anything of what I said? It looks like I just spoke Chinese, wait, you speak Chinese!" You laugh fun at your own joke. Chat Noir watches, captivated, you laugh, while his lips curl in a genuine smile. The worries in his mind were gone and he could only think of how lucky he was to have you.

"I thought I was the guy of the bad jokes." He says taking your chin gently bringing your face closer to his when you stopped laughing.

You watch his eyes travel to your lips before meeting your eyes back.

"It wasn't as bad as yours." That's what you said before he pulled your chin up by pressing your lips in a kiss. You gave way immediately, allowing your tongues to dance in sync. Until he leans over you, deepening the kiss, making it more intense and hungry. Smiling between the kiss, you put your hands on his shoulders, you pushed it lightly undoing the kiss while he grunted dissatisfied.

"Didn't you just run away yesterday in fear of me?" You keep the strength in your arms against his chest, preventing him from leaning over you and reaching your lips again.

"It wasn't out of fear." He mumbles pouting.

"I thought more about that and maybe you're right..." You mumble, wrinkling your nose, hating to admit it. Chat Noir, surprised, blinks his eyes.

"Really?" A smug smile grows on his lips as you, sulk, nodding.

"What made you change your mind so suddenly?" He asks curiously, you look away and try to think quickly of any excuse that has nothing to do with you accidentally discovering Ladybug's secret identity.

"I just took this to your point of view, but understand that..." You press your index finger on his nose. "No matter who the mysterious boy behind this mask is, I already love him too much."

Chat Noir feels his heart beating faster against his chest. Your words softened his restless mind. He thought that he might be rushing in thinking that you would hate him.

So he determined.

Even if things don't go as you say...

I will not give up on you, (Y / n).

"I love you too... really much." He rests his face on your neck, you feel the weight of his body against yours when he puts his arms around your waist in a comforting hug. You run your fingers through his blond and soft hair, making a caress. You feel a constant vibration in your chest and notice that he's purring.

You smile and close your eyes enjoying of his body heat, you could stay like that with him forever.

"Chat Noir?" You call him in a whisper. You didn't get an answer.

Did he fall asleep?
