The Paris' super duo were fighting yet another akuma.

It was different this time though.

The akuma was stronger than usual.

"CHAT WATCH OUT!"

He landed on the floor, with his face on the ground. But that wasn't what attracted people's attention.

Chat's ring fell off his finger as he groaned in pain. All of the people's eyes widened as they saw the famous model laying on the floor, bruised.

Even Ladybug and akuma both stopped.

Ladybug's mouth was probably on the floor from shock, but so was the akuma's.

Hawkmoth was probably the worst.

"Who would have thought that the famous model Adrien Agreste would be Chat Noir, the protector of Paris?" one of news reporters stepped in front of the camera, which was pointed in way of him.

"What do you have to say about this Adrien?"

"I-I.."

He picked up the ring and his tired kwami, then slowly backed away, but hit the wall behind him soon.

Ladybug didn't think properly. Her mind was racing towards everything that they've done together.

Heck, she even kissed him!

"P-Please," his voice was quiet as the crowd gathered around him, so he was trapped. "Please let me g-go,"

The news reporters flashed more photos of him, looking all scared.

Ladybug shook her head as she destroyed the object, while akuma was distracted.

Before anyone could do anything, she made her way through the crowd and wrapped her arm around Adrien's waits.

She saw his tears, which made her sad.

Her partner and her love were the same person. She was happy, but she felt awful for him.

"Let's go," she said as she pulled them out of the crowd.

She got them out of the crowd, but not long after, she put them down on one of the roof tops, where they couldn't be seen.

He couldn't face her. She wanted to keep their identities a secret and he just broke that.

He avoided her gaze and stayed quiet.

"Adrien," she lifted his chin, even if he didn't want to look at her. "Look at me,"

Her voice was demanding, yet soft and caring.

He gave up and finally met her bluebell eyes.

"How can you look at me, when I broke a promise?" he asked while sighing.

"It's not the first or the last promise, you'll ever going to break, Adrien," she smiled. "It was an accident, anyway,"

"It still feels like I betrayed you," he let tears, he kept in, go and pulled himself away from her completely.

"Why, Chaton?"

"Because you told me you don't want us to know who we are, yet it was just my luck this happened," he replied.

Marinette didn't know how she stayed this calm with him. Not even one stutter word.

"Everyone has bad luck. Maybe for you, it just makes this a normal day," she wrapped her arms around his frame and burried her face into his neck.

He was suprised at first, then he hugged her back.

"I'm truly sorry, my lady," he sighed into her hair.

He felt energy around them as pink light surrounded them.

He let out a suprised yelp and shut his eyes closed.

"Why would you do that?" Adrien asked the girl in his arms.

"Because it's time you find out who I am," she hugged him even tightly. "But don't be disappointed. I could never bear that."

"I'm going to ask you of a favour," she smiled. He nodded as she slowly pulled away, but put a hand over his eyes.

"I'm going to do something stupid, okay?" Adrien laughed. His lady doing something stupid? That was a scene he couldn't imagine.

Before he knew, a pair of lips were pressed against his own. His breath caught in his throat.

She pulled away quickly. "In case you would be disappointed,"

"My lady, I'd never be disappointed in y..-" she put her hand away and revealed Marinette standing in front of him.

Something in him moved and he swallowed hard.

How was he so blind?

She saw his emotionless face and she knew how this will end up.

But before she knew, she was gifted by his embrace, smiling happily in her hair. "Oh thank god, it's you,"

"W-What?" she didn't know where all of the confidence she had a minute ago go.

"I said, that I'm happy it is you. I mean I wouldn't want anyone else to be Ladybug," he smiled.

Then his face saddened. "What are we going to do?"

"About them finding out you're Chat?" he nodded. "We can go to my house. We can figure it there,"

"We can't be seen,"

"I know, Chaton. It's not my first day,"

----------------------------------------------------------

They easily sneaked in her room, without any complications.

She tranformed back to herself, but he didn't, saying that he would be easier to get out of there if someone saw him.

But in reality, she knew it was because his confidence. He was more confident as Chat, no arguing there.

"Look, maybe it would just be the best if you talked about this with press, because they will push you into confessing, even if they have enough proof already," she sighed and shrugged.

No matter how he didn't want to admit it, she was right. Press was a strange thing.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Adrien was nervously shifting from one leg to another as he waited for his turn of being in the spot lights. This interview would be even worse than normal ones.

That's how much he'd figured.

"And now welcome Adrien Agreste,"

He took a deep breath, before he entered the stage, put a fake smile on his face.

His father was so suprised, he nearly forbid Adrien to be Chat Noir.

The interviewer greeted him and shook his hand.

Marinette silently watched at home on her computer.

"Don't worry, he'll be fine," Tikki said.

*back to adrien*

"So we caught a video of your ring falling off on the crime scene of the akuma. So we will ask you. Are you Chat?"

Adrien was silent for a while. "Yes, I am Chat Noir,"

He didn't care who knew. If Hawkmoth wanted to come after him, let him.

He couldn't hurt anyone he loved, exept friends, which he knew nothing about.

-----------------------------------------

*meanwhile somewhere in a corner of a window room full with butterflies*

"How am I supposed to take him down now? Is there a book that tells you how to get your son's miraculous?"

Hawkmoth held his knees to his chest and silently cried.

"I mean, it's enough to have a son who's against you and lives in the same house as you, but I mean it's like the worst thing ever. Like Jesus hates me."

Hawkmoth sighed as he wiped his tears and he stood up with will "But I will get their miraculous!"

Then he slowly backed down the wall. "Who am I kidding? No I won't,"

------------------------------------------------

If you ask me if I'm aware this sucks, then yes.
