THIS IS IMPORTANT: LADYBUG AND CHAT NOIR KNOW WHO THEY ARE UNDER THE MASKS IN THIS ONE-SHOT

And yes, I'm aware this idea is kinda stupid but LET ME DREAM.
PS I promise my ideas get better from here 😅

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

One week earlier

"You want us to what?" Ladybug blinked at the Mayor of Paris. Chat Noir was smirking at his lady.

"Well, since the anniversary of your first appearance will be in a week, we were hoping you'd be interested in performing your theme song for Paris?" The Mayor repeated.

The theme song he was talking about was a fan-made clip that Ladybug and Chat Noir both supported. It was really popular, and catchy.

"I-I don't know Mayor, we're superheroes, not performers." Ladybug said, hesitantly.

"Oh of course Ladybug. Then would you care to be the guests of honour at our show instead? We could hire people to portray you." The Mayor offered, the disappointment clear.

"Hold on a moment Mayor, I'd like to talk to Ladybug for a minute outside." Chat Noir said, suddenly. He'd been unusually quiet.

Gripping Ladybug's hand, he pulled her out of the office and into the hall. Glaring, Ladybug shook Chat Noir's hand off hers, not wanting their relationship to go public yet.

"Sorry," He said, sheepishly rubbing the back of his neck, "but I think it's a cool idea." He continued.

"Chat Noir, we're superheroes, not pr-"

"Not performers, I know. But think about how much fun it could be. Paris will love it, and I think it would be really special to them." Chat Noir tried.

Ladybug sighed. "Okay, but we have to set some terms."

Chat Noir beamed. "Tell me so I know?"

"Okay. First, we preform the one song. No more songs," Ladybug started.

"Second, I don't want any advertising that it's the real Ladybug and Chat Noir. That'll be revealed on stage."

Chat grinned. "That sounds fun."

"Third, we're not wearing anything that isn't our suits. I've seen other fake Ladybug's preform in videos and the dresses they've had to wear." Ladybug shivered.

"Finally, nothing dramatic. I don't want more than three backup dancers. If any at all. And I'd rather have none." Ladybug ended.

"Sounds good to me Purr-incess." Chat Noir winked and held the door back open for his lady, like the gentleman he is.

The Mayor seemingly hadn't moved from his desk. "Well Ladybug?" He asked.

"We'll do it, but we're setting some ground rules." Ladybug answered.

The Mayor beamed. "Of course! Name them."

Ladybug repeated her terms and the Mayor wrote them down quickly. "Okay Ladybug and Chat Noir, please come back down here tomorrow and we can start rehearsal then."

"Okay Mr. Mayor. See you tomorrow." Chat Noir waved and dashed out the door. Ladybug chuckled, waved goodbye, and followed after Chat Noir.

"Chat Noir, wait up!" Ladybug called at the leaping black cat.

"Yes, My Lady?" Chat Noir turned and leapt down to Ladybug on a smaller rooftop.

"I was thinking, what if we make it public that we're dating through song?" Ladybug suggested, her eyes glimmering with excitement.

"Oh that'd be cool!" Chat Noir agreed, eagerly. "It's perfect!"

Ladybug smiled. "I'll write my bit, you write yours. Nobody hears them except us. It'll be a surprise for everyone."

"Very well M'lady. See you tomorrow!" Chat Noir waved and extended his stick to jump higher.

Ladybug smiled as he left before turning and running back to the Dupain-Cheng bakery.

"Tikki, spots off!" Marinette declared as she landed safely in her room.

The red kwami landed on Marinette's bed with a thump. "Marinette, are you sure this is a good idea?" Tikki worried aloud.

"Yes Tikki, I'm sure."

"Okay..you better start writing."

"Ah!" Marinette yelped and whipped out a piece of paper. "What've I gotten myself into? Okay, calm down, it should be about your love for Chat N- Adrien."

A few minutes later, Marinette came up with an idea. "School! How about this Tikki: another day, I'm back at school. I think about him, he's so cool."

"It's good, but that reveals the fact you go to school, AND you're crazy about a boy in school!"

"I can just lie and say it was an expression."

"I don't know Marinette."

"He looks at me, I look away, but does he see me anyway?" Marinette mumbled and quickly wrote it down.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Ahhhhh Plagg, what do I do?" Adrien was panicking in his massive room. The little cat Kwami was eating his beloved Camembert, floating around the blond head of Adrien.

"You think of lyrics, genius." Plagg munched in his Camembert.

"I figured that much out Plagg. If you give me an idea, I won't take away your Camembert." Adrien groaned and shoved his face into his desk.

"Hey! I'm a cat, chilling out with his Camembert. Don't drag me into your love problems."

"Wait, say that again."

"Don't drag me into yo-"

"No not that, before that."

"I'm a cat, chilling out with his Camembert? What does that have to do with-"

"I am a cat, just chilling out." Adrien hummed and quickly scribbled it down.

"Wow. Original."

"Shut up Plagg. Okay, let's go honest next." Adrien sighed, already getting tired.

After a minute of trying to squeeze probably an entire love poem into one sentence he decided.

"And in the night, she's all I think about."
He wrote beneath his first line, proud of himself.

Adrien pondered for a moment how he feels around Ladybug (that wasn't absolute admiration and love) before writing, "I feel so strong, when she's around."

He though about how Marinette and Ladybug were both always there for him and wrote, "she picks me up, when I am down."

"Oh yeah, I'm getting the hang of this Plagg!" Adrien grinned to himself.

"Don't get cocky kid. And where's my extra Camembert?"

"I didn't promise any extra Camembert."

"Yeah, but I should get some."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Present day

"What do you mean you're not going?" Alya asked Marinette through the phone.

"I'm sorry Alya, but I feel really sick." Marinette lied.

Alya sighed in disappointment. "Film it for me?" Marinette requested.

"Sure. But if I get to sit next to Ladybug, I get bragging rights." Alya laughed, unaware her chances were zero because the real heroes were preforming, unlike what the advertising said.

"Okay Alya. Bye." Marinette hung up as her mom poked her head through the door.

"Marinette, are you sure you don't feel well enough to go? I mean, this only happens once a year." Her mom said.

"Yeah, I'm sure." Marinette confirmed.

"Well it's not like you're missing the real Ladybug and Chat Noir." Her dad laughed before waving goodbye and taking his wife to the show.

Marinette giggled at the irony and wondered how Adrien was doing with Nino, and possibly Gabriel. Moments later, she yelled, "spots on!"

The suit formed and Ladybug took out her yo-yo, and quickly started swinging towards the middle of town, where the stage had been set.

When she landed silently behind the stage, Ladybug was beyond nervous. She wasn't doubting her voice, she knew it was good.

She was worried about the apparently simple dance moves she'd been taught. Her feet had been more sore this week than most days after fighting dangerous akumas.

Chat Noir landed next to Ladybug, grabbed her hand and kissed it. "M'Lady." He winked.

"Hello Chat." She grinned and the two of them waited backstage as The Mayor zipped onto the stage.

"Greeting Paris! Who is ready for a show?" The Mayor announced, and the crowd started cheering loudly in approval.

"Before we begin, I'd like to reveal the truth about something to you," The Mayor whispered into his mic, yet his voice boomed over the audience.

The crowd looked excited and waited for an answer.

"The actors acting as Ladybug and Chat Noir....aren't actually actors! They're the real deal!" The Mayor announced.

The crowd fell silent for a moment before crazy loud screams erupted. "No way!" Ladybug heard an all too familiar voice scream.

Ladybug and Chat Noir exchanged looks, laughing. "Alya." They said in unison.

"And now the show begins." The Mayor declares as he rushed off the stage.

"Good luck My Lady." Chat Noir says as Ladybugs cue to go on stage starts.

"Thanks Chat." She smiled at him before doing a front handspring onto the stage.

Okay if you don't wanna read about the concert because you don't like reading lyrics, you can skip down to the part where a huge blank is, the story continues there. If you don't mind reading lyrics, play the song above now. (I can't promise it will perfectly line up with how you read it tho.)

She gripped her mic and the music hit the note, and she sang,

"I live a life, that's full of fun. That keeps me sharp, and on the run," Ladybug sung and Chat Noir couldn't help but stare at his princess. He had heard her voice a thousand times at practice but couldn't get over her angelic voice no matter how many times he'd heard it.

"When evil comes, I find a way
To use my force, and save the day."

"Oh oh oh"

"Life's got me spinning 'round," Ladybug sung as she spun around on her toes, a move which she had practiced a lot and complained about.

"Oh oh oh,"

"My feet are off the ground," Ladybug did a flip.

"Oh oh oh,"

"And when the sun goes down, that's when I become," Ladybug grinned and pointed at the crowd, moving her point from the left to the right before her arm dropped by her side.

"MIRACULOUS
SIMPLY THE BEST
UP TO THE TEST WHEN THINGS GO WRONG
MIRACULOUS
THE LUCKIEST
THE POWER OF LOVE ALWAYS SO STRONG," Ladybug sang, hitting all the notes with perfection.

Chat Noir, during Ladybug singing the chorus, had crawled up onto the bars on the top of the stage.

When Ladybug finished her part, he dropped from the top and winked at the crowd.

Ladybug smirked at him as he arrived, amused at his entrance.

"They look at me, and think I'm cool
I'm Chat Noir, at night I rule." Chat Noir winked over at Ladybug. She rolled her eyes, playfully, secretly admiring his voice.

"My ring is charged, with energy.
My claws are out, just watch and see." Chat Noir mimicked bring out his claws and tightened his fist.

"Oh oh oh,"

"Oh no you'll never know," Chat looked over at Ladybug.

"Oh oh oh,"

"My force can only grow,"

"Oh oh oh,"

"And when the moon is out you better hang around," Chat Noir copied Ladybug's point, except he started on the right side before swinging to the left.

"MIRACULOUS
SIMPLY THE BEST
UP THE TEST WHEN THINGS GO WRONG
MIRACULOUS
THE LUCKIEST
THE POWER OF LOVE ALWAYS SO STRONG," the heroes sung, and a few people in the crowd.

Ladybug and Chat Noir has danced closer together were smiling at each other, clearly having fun.

The crowd waited for the song to end, but to their surprise, nobody on stage left.

"Another day, I'm back at school
I think about him he's so cool," Ladybug walked in a circle around Chat Noir as he smiles at her like a dork.

The LadyNoir shippers are the first to freak out, including a certain (lady)blogger.

Then the rest of the crowd slowly realized that this is not part of the original song, and scream louder.

"He looks at me, I look away
But does he see me anyway?" Ladybug flicks Chat Noir's bell and he blushes. Ladybug smirks and danced away.

Cue LadyNoir shippers screaming.

"Oh oh oh,"

"He's got me spinning 'round," Ladybug smiles as Chat Noir grabs her hand and spins her in a circle.

"Oh oh oh,"

"My feet are off the ground," winking, Chat Noir lifted her up, bridal style. Ladybug blushed, and hoped no one could see.

"Oh oh oh,"

"And when the sun goes down that's when I become." Ladybug flicked Chat's bell again and he spun her down.

"MIRACULOUS
SIMPLY THE BEST
UP TO THE TEST WHEN THINGS GO WRONG
MIRACULOUS
THE LUCKIEST
THE POWER OF LOVE ALWAYS SO STRONG."

The crowd watched as now Chat Noir started singing.

"I am a cat, just chillin out.
But in the night, she's all I think about," Chat Noir looked over at Ladybug, and she was blushing. And, to be fair, so was he.

Screams from LadyNoir shippers in the audience were heard. Again.

"I feel so strong, when she's around." Chat winked and flexed his muscles.

"She picks me up, when I am down," Chat Noir smiled at Ladybug passionately and kissed her hand. Ladybug was also smiling, seeing as Chat Noir's cheer was contagious.

"Oh oh oh,"

"Oh no you'll never know," he sings, staring into Ladybug's blue eyes.

"Oh oh oh,"

"My love can only grow," he smiles sincerely and the shippers, yet again, flip out. Those shippers were having a very successful day.

"Oh oh oh,"

"And when I see her smile, that's when she becomes."  Chat Noir beamed at his Lady as the two twirled around each other.

"Miraculous," the tune had changed to a slower beat.

"Simply the best
Up to the test when things go wrong,"

"Miraculous," Chat Noir and Ladybug sang, Chat Noir stretching his.

"The luckiest," Ladybug sang as Chat Noir stared singing "wooooOOOH."

"The Power of Love always so strong!"

"Wooooahhhh," Chat was singing loudly and Ladybug had to admit she was impressed.

"Miraculous, simply the best, up to the test when things go wrong!"

"Miraculous!" Ladybug sung and a second later, Chat Noir repeated it.

"The luckiest," the same as what happened with Miraculous.

"The Power of love always so strong!"

"Miraculous!"

"MIRACULOUS," Chat Noir sung dramatically

"Simply the best,"

"YOU ARE THE BEST," he sang looking into Ladybug's blue eyes.

"Up to the test when things go wrong,"

"Miraculous, The luckiest," again, Chat made his more dramatic.

"The Power of love always so strong, MIRACULOOOOOOUUUUUUSSSSS."

And they when they finished, the two heroes spun from their signature poses and spun towards each other.

Ladybug and Chat Noir were now standing very close together, with their lips only inches away from each other, and Chat Noir's arms were laced behind Ladybug, and Ladybug's arms behind Chat's neck.

Both of them were smiling at each other.

The audience wasn't the only one gaping at the two heroes, for the people backstage were also confused. That wasn't a part of the program.

The audience waited for Ladybug to shove him off, but to their shock, she put her right hand on his cheek and simply muttered, "you silly kitty," smiling in an amused way before closing the gap between them.

The two heroes of Paris were kissing.

The audience started shrieking and Alya was screaming to her Ladyblog that LadyNoir was finally canon.

"Oh my god!" They both heard Alya shriek above everyone.

They broke the kiss and started laughing.

The crowd's reaction was exactly as they'd hoped.

"Should we answer some questions?" Chat asked Ladybug, temporarily forgetting everything he was saying was booking over the crowd with his microphone. "I don't know how this works."

The crowd screamed yes and Chat looked over at Ladybug for permission. Ladybug sighed, and caved in. She nodded.

Forget puppy eyes, she needed to learn how to defend herself against kitten eyes.

"You choose first M'lady." Chat Noir smiled at her.

"Ah, you. Your name is Alya right? You're the girl that runs the Ladyblog?" Ladybug asked as she pointed at the famous creator of the Ladyblog.

"Yes!" Alya squealed, excited that her idol had noticed her and chosen her out of the enormous crowd.

"Your question?" Ladybug pressed.

"How long have you been dating? Or was this how you declared your love for each other?" Alya questioned.

"We've been dating around..two weeks now?" Ladybug looked over at Chat for confirmation and he nodded in a agreement.

"Why keep it a secret for so long?" Alya asked, obviously still recording on her phone.

"Well, we don't exactly kiss in public-" Ladybug started.

"But now we can!" Chat called and the crowd laughed.

"I guess so," Ladybug chuckled as she looked at her Chaton.

"But we were debating on how to reveal it. Then we heard about the concert and decided that would be perfect." Ladybug finished.

"Can I choose now My Lady?" Chat begged.

"Of course you can." Ladybug chuckled at his childish antics.

Chat Noir beamed and ended up choosing a girl with a long brown hair and pale blue eyes.

"On a scale of one to ten, how much do you love Ladybug?" The girl asked.

"Girl, lemme tell you. Giving me only up to ten is offensive. I love her to the millions, even billions. Probably trillions." Chat Noir answered, with a silly grin on his face.

The crowd awed and then some guy yelled, "Yeah Chat Noir! Good job escaping the friend zone!"

Chat Noir was silently laughing as he recognized the voice as Nino.

The heroes answered a few more questions after that, but they did eventually leave.

After they fled the scene, Chat Noir turned to his girlfriend as they stood on a rooftop. "I love you bugaboo." He winked and kissed her hand before turning away from her.

"I'll see you tomorrow My Lady!" Chat Noir called as he took off towards the Agreste Mansion.

"Bye Chaton!" Ladybug called back before running toward the Dupain-Cheng Bakery.

The heroes had finally confessed their love to the public, and they'd do it again.

Why?

Because they'd always be in love.
