She jumps across all the rooftops of Paris. She didn't know what she was searching for until she finally saw a figure drenched in shadows on the roof of a building between the two companies. He sat crisscrossed looking out over the silhouette of the Eiffel Tower sulking silently. As Ladybug approached the figure, he flinched at the sound of her feet brushing the ground. He turned his head to see the red and black polka dot suit watching from an appropriate distance. His face relaxed and he gestured for her to join him. She sat on his right side and looked out to the soundless city.
"Hey chat."ย
"Hello, m'lady." He mumbles as he stares out and not look at Ladybug. Since she keeps reminding of Marinette with same features.
"What happened to my kitty? No more greetings." She tries to tease but knew it wasn't funny, "Chat do you want to talk?"
"What about? There haven't been any Akuma or problems.." He says but Ladybug cuts him off.
"Chat your upset."
"Yeah and its for the same reason." He sighs.
Ladybug gave him a puzzled look, "Your not over Marinette."
"How can I? I miss her so much but I have to respect her decision. " He hides between his knees, "But I can't stop thinking about her."
Ladybug knows that she going to regret what she going to say next, "Then go talk to her."
His head jerked up to look at her, "I can't."
She was shocked, "Why?"
"I have an understanding of what she was going through and I know it's not a fun life." He says trying to avoid revealing anything personal, "I want her to be happy and the only way is to not be with her."
"Well Kitty, you do what is right." Ladybug earrings started to beep she got up and start spiraling her yoyo, "But maybe she's in the same boat."
"Huh?" Chat Noir asked.
"Maybe she misses you just as much as you miss her. I hear love hurt that way when you can't be with the person you love. Maybe one day you guys can be together."
"Thanks, Ladybug."

A Akuma attack school. Blah blah, Ladybug and Chat fight it blah blah they defeat it. Ladybug ran off de transform. Chat stands in the exits searching around to see everything back to normal.
He takes a deep breath and turns around. Ladybug is gone the akumatized person was back to their old self and hawkmoth's moth was flying away.
Marinette comes from where she detransformed. She see Chat walking out, she goes after him.
"Chat?" She said in a hush voice.ย
His earshot right up and turns to see Marinette, his eyes blinked a few times, "Yes princess." He looks around to see if anyone was paying attention.
"I was hoping if you can come over, I been meaning to tell you something." She starts to blush.
His face was a shock expression, then calm down and smiled, "Of course princess."
๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
There was a tapping at Marinette balcony door. Marinette quickly open it for Chat to enter. Chat took her hand to bend down and give it a peck.
She giggles, "Hello Kitty."
"As it turns out, I absolutely terrible at staying away from you. It a very serious problem." He states before giving another kiss on her hand.
"Chat." Her expression was stern. "I wanted to talk to you seriously."
"Of course m'lady." His excitement mellow down. "What did you want to talk about?"
She smiles. "I love you and miss being with you."
His face blank before turning into a smirk, "One more time? I just.."
She took his face in her hands, "Chat I love you and can't stand being without you." She blinked a few times and pulled her gaze up to his eyes. He took his hand off of her hands and lace it through her hair. The pressure was light, but it was enough to know what he wanted. She bent to kiss him. It was every kiss they ever had, all uncertainty, all the hope.
He broke away the kiss and his smile died and took her hands off his face, "But what about you not being in publicity, isn't that why you broke up with me?"
Marinette went to sit on the edge of her bed and Chat bent down on one knee to look at her in the eyes in front of her, "It.. Never.. Was that. Well its a part of it but, I just used it as a excuse to blame it on. The truth is I was being so stalked, they almost caught me... Being... Well... Um... Finding out.." She stutters through her words and turns her head to the side and not look at him
He finished her sentence, "That your Ladybug.."
She turns back to look at him with a shock expression, "Chat Noir knows What?How did you find out? When?" She exclaimed.
"You can't fool a guy who is in love with you." He chuckles, "I noticed before you dump me. You two are exactly alike, I just felt stupid for not realizing it sooner."
"You knew! And didn't tell me!" She said dumbfounded.
"I knew you would have wanted to tell me. So I didn't say anything." He simply says. "Mari I need you to admit me something."
"What is it?" She asks even though she still confused on how Chat knew her identity.
"Please say you'll love me behind the mask. I may seem like I have different masks but this Chat you know is the real me. Say it, Mari. Please. Tell me you love me, that you want to be mine alone." He begs.
"I will always be yours." She says without hesitation.
He couldn't resist anymore, he pounced. Gently he lifted her chin up with his fingers. And covered her mouth with his. He slowly deepened the kiss from a chaste peck to something a little more sensual. She responded eagerly, her arms wrapping around his neck. And her fingers tangling themselves through the curls that met the back of his neck. He smirked against her lips before he pulled her bottom lip between his teeth and suckled on it. He slowly pulled away to admire Marinette's dazed expression.Shyly, she lets her fingertips trace all the way up the front of his zipper, over the bell at his neck, to the warm, dry skin of his throat. She feels his pulse under her fingers, thudding with his heartbeat.
"Mari... My real identity is..." He stutters before he takes in a deep breath, "Umm... Claws off." He stands up to de-transform. Marinette turned away from the blinding lights. Chat transforms back to Adrien still posing like he ready to fight.
She turns back to look at him and was shocked dumbfounded. Her eyes quickly blink to see if she is not dreaming. "Adrien?" She gasped.
"Yes." He says innocently,ย "I'm Chat Noir. Who else did you expect?" He starts to joke around like if he was Chat.
"Uh.. Your definitely are a different person compared to Chat noir."
"Yes but I just act differently due to my duties. I'm still the meownifigance Chat Noir that you know and love," He smiles.
Marinette gave an annoyed look because of his pun, "I can't believe you're the tomcat."
Plagg flew out next to Adrien, "hey!" They both exclaimed.
"Plagg go away." Adrien waved him away.
"Fine. I'm hanging with Tiki. I'm glad I'm out of this display." Plagg says the last part awkwardly. Then quickly was attack by Tiki with a huge hug. Then they spiral back to the hiding spot.
"He's adorable." Marinette giggles.
"No he is ignorant." He gives a eye roll.
"I can hear you!" Plagg yells from the other side of the bedroom.
"Plagg hush." Tiki bickers at him.ย ย
They ignored them and Marinette touched his jawline and moved it, to face her, "your not half bad."
"Meowch Marinette. Your pawsitivly hurting me." He exaggerate his sympathy.
"Stop. Your puns are now bugging me."
"Was that pun intended." He smirks.
He pulls her toward him so fast she doesn't have time to react before his mouth crushes against hers and his arm is tight across her shoulders. Adrien thrums with unexpected bliss, his hands eager and thankful as he presses close enough to eliminate every breath of space between them. There is no resistance in any cell of her body. She gasps and then sinks into him, arms winding around his waist.
"Adrien.."ย She moans during kisses.
Adrien purrs as he kisses his way down her jaw, down her neck, and she makes a throaty noise, tilting to give him access.
"Will you be my girlfriend?"
She can feel his weakness in the closeness of his body, like gravity. It feels good to know that she's not the only one who's losing their mind.
She replies, "who me or ladybug?" wrapping her arms around his waist and gripping his jacket at the back to pull him closer. Marinette wants to say something equally cheesy and equally romantic but the only word she can think of is his name, and when she says it, throaty, desperate, it seems to stick under his skin, to drive him crazy.
"Both since you're both the same."
Adrien kisses her fully and thoroughly, pulling at her bottom lip, one hand at the small of her back to keep her close.
"Sure kitty just don't get me into trouble." She giggles.
With every second that passes she loses herself a bit more in him and when he drags his fingers up her back, pressing to that empty space between her shoulder blades, she nearly gasps.
His mouth presses down on hers tenderly. He's softer than she expected, and even though she's kissed him before - even though she'd felt something before, no matter the fact he'd forgotten it ever happened - it was nothing like this kiss. Maybe her luck had already turned around today.
They live happily ever after.
