Adrien-
He knew it. He could finally admit it to himself. He was in love with Ladybug. It wasn't a crush like most boys in Paris, or even a flirtatious crush as he kidded himself (and LB) as his alter-ego Chat Noir. He could no longer deny how her smile made his day brighter than bacon and ice cream did; how he blushed (and hide it) every time she called him "Silly Kitty". He was in love with her, and he was going to tell her who was.

Marinette-
(LB)
They had just finished fighting an akuma that had a girl making everyone's mother disappear because her's had died.
Just as she was about to leave, Chat caught her shoulder and said, "Bugaboo, I mean Ladybug,"signifying he was as serious as Chat can get,"I want to tell you who I am. You don't to have tell who you are, but please-"
LB cut him off."You know we mustn't say who we are Silly Kitty, now I've got to go before I de-transform." She swung away on her yo-yo, wondering why Chat got so serious all of a sudden...

Adrien-
(Chat)
She was gone. He would just have to try again and again, maybe, maybe he could sneak up on her... He needed a plan. He went to his house to think.

Marinette-
"I'm going to do i Tikki. I'm going to tell Adrien how I feel!" Marinette said on the way to school.
"Are you sure that's a good idea?" came Tikki's reply, "I mean he's never specifically shown he thinks more of you than a friend, he could reject you, or you could quit at the last second; you could stumble over your words and leave before could respond. You might even leave before he responds at all!"
"I know, but I have to try, I can't go on like this forever, and what if he starts thinking I'm weird, what with the stuttering only around him?"
"Okay Marinette, but be careful. Now hurry or you'll be late!"
Mari entered the classroom just before the bell rang.
"Glad to see your on time for once." said Madame Boustier with a smile. "Though Adrien isn't here yet."
Mari sat down in her seat and thought of reasons for Adrien to not be there, she didn't think he had a photoshoot, and she or Alya would know if he did.

Adrien-
He ran into class ten minutes late, dark drooping bags under his eyes. He'd stayed up all night trying to think of a plan to get LB to Lüsten to him so he could show her he was Adrien and as a plus, if she didn't hate him or something, tell her he loved her. He had yet to come up with a plan. Oh well, he could think it over after school, and a catnap.
