No One's POV

" Marinette, Adrien, I want you guys to see something real quick." Chloe said to her best friends. They turned towards their best friend to see what was up. She handed her phone to Marinette and she took it. On the screen it was Google searches, but that wasn't what surprised her. What she was surprised by was what was the most popular subjects to look up were.

" What was the real reason Ladybug went MIA? Are Lucia-Marie Juliard and Marinette Dupain-cheng aka Ladybug, the same person? Most Successful Youth: Marinette Lucia Dupain-cheng. I...this is a lot! I knew I was popular, but not this popular!!!" Marinette said. She kept scrolling down and noticed articles written about her and her tragic past.

" I...I know that we gave permission in the court to record us live, but if I get asked personal questions like these on another interview, I don't want to know how I'll react. This isn't good. I mean it did clear my name as Ladybug, but it also gave it a whole other meaning as well. Now whenever they think about Ladybug, they'll see a pitiful tragic past and back story. I don't want everyone to pity me wherever I go!!!" Marinette spiralled out. Adrien held Marinette and she was the verge of breaking down.

Chloe didn't know it would affect her this badly. She felt bad for bringing up the topic and she wished that she could go back in time to stop herself from bringing the topic forward. Then she remembered that it was best to warn her now than finding out later when the unwanted happens. Adrien pulled Marinette towards him and sat her on his lap, holding her protectively in his arms.

" Oh Mari...I know this is hard for you, but you can't escape from it forever. You chose to take on the Juliard businesses and the fact that you wanted to show your case on live tv, won't help. You were already popular before, now you're even more so. All we can do now is deal with the consequences and be there for each other. I'll always be here for you and if you have interviews, we can ask beforehand to not answer you personal questions about your past life. We'll make them sign a contract to make sure they don't and if they still do once we are on live television, we'll bring it to court and stop working with them completely. Until you feel comfortable on talking about that topic, that will be the plan, okay?" Adrien told Marinette as we pet her head gently.

Marinette cuddled into Adrien's chest and calmed down a bit. She did breathing exercises to help calm herself down as well and Adrien began to tenderly rub Marinette's back while she did so.

" Lucy, I know your having a hard time, but did want to remind you that you are doing an amazing job with the businesses! You build them up higher and you aren't moving from country to country constantly. You gained a lot of respect from well know entrepreneurs around the world. Your businesses in America have been the most improved. I remember that you weren't that good with your english before, but now that you regained your memories, you began to fluently speak it. I also noticed that you were studying English in your spare time because it interested you. Of course this was back when you and I weren't on the best speaking terms, but I still saw you from afar and you were just too amazing!" Chloe said in an excited tone, trying to lighten up the heavy mood she created. Marinette looked at her and smiled a bright smile her bluebell eyes sparkled brightly as if the depressing conversation they had didn't happen. This made both Chloe and Adrien lighten up with joy.

" Not only that Mari, but your confidence rose as well. More than it was while being Ladybug. Although you are still insecure about your past and it is still a heavy topic to discuss for you, there was a major improvement in your way of speaking. You have a more positive outlook on life than before and overall just became a better person in general. Not that you weren't already a good person, but it helped bring out your best qualities out more often and your caring side to increase for others and yourself. I'm so proud of you Love." Adrien said and brightly smiled at Marinette. Marinette stared at her boyfriend and her best friend. They were incredible and never gave up on her. Even though Chloe hadn't always been nice to her, she still kept an eye on her and noticed Marinette doing things that no random person walking by would notice. Adrien truly loved Marinette and noticed the small changes that have occured in her life, positive or negative. He was smiling so brightly at her after explaining to her how proud he was of Marinette's improvement and this showed that he was actually happy for her. Her happiness made him happy. Marinette couldn't help but blush at the thought.

" Marry me." It slipped out of her mouth before she could stop it, but both Adrien and Chloe heard her words loud and clear. Adrien's started becoming red at just those two words and the look Marinette had on her face when she realized what she said was just too hard to resist. Her naturally pale glistening skin with a slight blush became a bright red and her eyes held so much love and affection that they almost looked like they were glowing to him.

" I-I-I mean!....FUCK IT! Marry me, Adrien Agreste!" Marinette stuttered out and then determinedly said. Adrien's eyes widened. Chloe was laughing in the background. She was happy for them, but Marinette's sudden proposal was just to funny to her. Adrien however was awestruck. She wanted to really Marry him. She didn't take it back and become extremely nervous like normal after suggesting such an idea. The determined look that was shown on her face and eyes was enough for Adrien to make his decision.

" Okay." Adrien let out as he was too flustered at the moment to actually let out more than one work without becoming a stuttering mess. His response made Marinette shine brighter that the blazing sun. She wrapped her arms around Adrien's neck and puller him closer to her. Then she kissed his lips passionately, not hungrily, but passionately. In that one kiss alone, she was trying to show Adrien how much she truly loved him and wasn't going to stop anytime soon. Adrien kissed back with as much, if not more, passion and Chloe was just watching this all happen started to feel awkward.

All of a sudden Chloe got pulled into a strong, comforting, and familiar pair of arms. She smiled and sighed contently with the feeling.

" Hey Honeycomb, don't get jealous of their relationship." Cole in her ear causing a pleasurable shiver to run down Chloe's back. She giggled, but jokingly pouted and turned around to face her boyfriend.

" I am not jealous of their relationship. How dare you assume so! I'm just extremely happy for them, because both are my best friends and I also have an incredible boyfriend who loves and cherishes me just as much, if not more, than those two!" Chloe exclaimed and playfully poked Coles chest. This caused Cole to chuckle.

" Where and who is this boyfriend of yours, I just want to talk." Cole said in a playfully jealous tone. Chloe giggled at this.

" Oh, I have a picture of him on my phone. I'll show you." She said while taking out her phone and looking for a specific picture. She held out her phone to him and his eyes widened while he gasped. He jumped a few inches away from Chloe and had to let go of her to do so. The picture was of him in a dragon onesie that he put on and he yawned cutely, one of his eyes wer closed and the other one was just droopy and sleepy. His tongue was also poking out of his mouth a little and it was absolutely adorable.

" I-I-I...I thought you said you erased it babe!" Cole screamed in embarrassment. Chloe laugher and shook her head.

" I said I will think about erasing it and I did think about it, but chose to keep it in the end. It's too cute to erase~." Chloe said teasingly. Cole's face lit up bright red.

" G-G-Give me that!" He screamed as he reached out to grab Chloe's phone, but Chloe was able to move it away in time.

" No~, Mine~!" Chloe teasingly said. Then she stuck her tongue out towards Cole and made a run for it. Cole chased after Chloe and both were a laughing mess, Cole just being really flustered all the while.

" You will never catch me alive!!!" Chloe screamed while laughing and running away from Cole's grasp.

Marinette and Adrien watched as the whole scene played out. They laughed at how childish their best friend's were being, but still held each other lovingly. Chloe started running towards them and screamed loudly, because she could hear Cole catching up to her. She threw her phone to Marinette who luckily catched it and looked at it. She laughed and showed Adrien. He also laughed ans Cole was even more embarrassed.

" Guuuys, don't laugh! It's not like you guys bever done something stupid before!" Cole whined. He wasn't going to try and take Chloe's phone away from Marinette. He knew that Adrien wouldn't allow him to because his hand might slip and touch Marinette inappropriately. Best friend or not, he would be a dead man if that did happen and Cole wasn't going to take any risks.

" Babe you didn't do anything stupid. It was just a cute thing that you do normally that you don't really notice and I was lucky enough to snap a picture at just the right time to capture the repetitive behavior. If it really bothers you that much then I'll let you erase the picture from my phone, okay?" Chloe said as she hugged her boyfriend. He nodded, but didn't ask for the phone so he could delete the picture.

Although Cole was known as a fuck boy before, he wasn't comfortable showing vulnerability for certain reasons that occured in his past. He was getting better at being more comfortable around Chloe, but he didn't like the idea of other people seeing him that way. The fact that Chloe took a picture of him like that was bugging him because other people he knew that he didn't trust might see it by accident then they would judge him and laugh at him. He wasn't fond of the idea. Just like everyone else, he was insecure about himself, but hid it behind a mask of fake confidence.

" Okay, you can keep the photo just....please don't show anyone else. I trust Marinette and Adrien, but no else other than them, okay?" Cole said looking directly into Chloe's eyes. Chloe nodded and smiled brightly. She didn't know about Coles past not completely anyways.

" Of course babe, I promise to not show it to anyone else!" Chloe promised. Little did they know how hard that little promise would be hard to keep for Chloe.
