AN: I don't own Miraculous Ladybug, this song, Disney, or this animatic.

It was the first anniversary of Ladybug and Chat Noir's arrival.

Marinette arrived after Ladybug finished her speech. The superhero had disappeared, her partner watching the party from a nearby rooftop.

"You just missed it!" Alya squealed. Her best friend flashed her an apologetic smile. Her eyes landed on Chat's familiar blonde curls, a blush staining her cheeks. Her friend noticed. "Looks like someone has a new heart."

"W-What?"

Alya pointed out the superhero. "You've been able to talk around Adrien. I think his spot with you has been taken up by someone else."

Marinette furiously shook her head. "No! I still like Adrien!"

"Are you sure about that?"

Her friend nodded, walking away. The music that Nino was DJing turned slow as Marinette walked through the park. Her cheeks flushed again at Alya's wild accusation.

"I like Adrien. Chat is my friend."

Tikki looked up from the purse. "Are you sure about that?"

"Yes, I'm sure." Marinette said. "Adrien is sweet and kind, while Chat Noir is cocky and a giant flirt."

"Only with you and Ladybug."

She slowed at that. "Yeah...and he's patient. You can trust him to keep a secret." A smile appeared. "He's really clever too."

Tikki flew out of her chosen's purse. "Look at your grin. You're in love."

At the point, Marinette schooled her features to neutrality. "I like Adrien."

"Love and like are different things. You might like Adrien, but you love Chat Noir."

Marinette sat down next to a fountain, staring at her reflection. Tikki quietly slipped into the purse. Her feelings were mixed up.

Adrien was a dear friend. There was a place that he held in her heart. But, slowly, Chat Noir had been moving in.

She could do this.

"I love..."

"Who exactly Princess?"

She looked up to see the exact subject of her thoughts. Chat was standing next to her, a curious look in his eyes.

"W-What are you doing here?!"

He smiled as he sat down next to her. Instead of his usual cocky grin, this smile was soft. Butterflies rose up in her stomach. "It's the anniversary, but I saw a Princess."

Slowly, the two had been inching towards each other.

"And I wondered how you could get my emotions so terribly mixed up."

Their lips connected. A happy sigh escaped Marinette as he held her close-

A scream ran through the air. They jolted, teeth clacking together. Chat growled as he glanced in the party's direction. "Akuma."

"Chloe?"

He pressed a kiss to her palm.

"To be continued." Chat said. With a wave, he went off to save Paris. Marinette smiled.

"I'm in love."
