A few minutes later, Ladybug woke up and saw she was back in her own body.

"Yes! YES I'M BACK!!!" She cried in happiness.

"Me too! The Cat's back in the bag!" Cat Noir cried in joy.

"Oh Cat Noir!" Ladybug got picked up by him and they spun around laughing.

"It's a miracle milady! We're back!" Cat Noir puts her down.

"Heh, happy to hear your real voice in your real body, my kitty" Ladybug giggled.

"Same to you. And that we're the purrfect couple for real." Cat Noir replied.

"That reminds me, Our date as civilians." Ladybug said.

"That's up for your parents and my father's approval." Cat Noir said.

"Oh yes." Ladybug nodded.

"I waited so long for this moment, my purrincess" Cat Noir held her chin up and kissed her on the lips.

Ladybug held him by the neck and kissed him back. The feline hero gently pushed her against the chimney wall and picked her legs up for her to wrap them around his waist while he tilted his head to kiss deeper, letting his tongue in for entrance. Ladybug moaned in the kiss which made her kitty purr.

Eventually, they pulled away for air while Cat Noir held her up for support, "It seems this love square thing is a very complicated one, my bugaboo" The feline said.

"It sure is. Took a while to fully blossom it." Ladybug said.

He put her down and simply wrapped his arms around her waist, "And let's hope we don't be oblivious next time"

"Never again." Ladybug said before they departed.

-

Ladybug arrived home at her apartment, laying on her bed after detransforming, "My life's never been better."

"I'm happy you're back in your real body, Marinette" Tikki said.

"Yes. But also that Adrien truly loves me and fully forgave me and I forgave him. We're gonna try out a date." Marinette said.

"Really?" Tikki asked.

"Yeah, tomorrow after school and his archery," Marinette said.

"Okay then," Tikki replied.

"It's like a dream come true," Marinette said.

"To be in love with two people that are the same person?" Tikki asked.

"A love square yes," Marinette said.

"You two were so oblivious that you took too long to figure out that Adrien is Cat Noir the whole time," Tikki said.

"I know. Now I wanna make it up with the date." Marinette said.

"And let's hope his father lets Adrien decide," Tikki said.

"I hope so." I said.

(Adrien's POV)

I was trying out holding the bow Marinette used when she was in my body, but without an arrow for safety.

"You know you're no Robin Hood, Adrien," Plagg said.

"I know but I have to try new things since I quit fencing. And since when did my father put a target on my bedroom wall near the rock-climbing wall? Isn't that unsafe?" I asked since this is very dangerous to have in my room.

"It is. But give it a try." Plagg handed me an arrow.

"Outdoors would be safer. I can't believe my father put me up to this against my will. He may be concerned about my physical safety but not my mental wellness" I sighed and stretched the arrow on the bowstring and then I let it go and it hit the target on the outer circle. Wow. It seems Marinette taught my body archery or something.

"Let's try it outside," Plagg suggested.

"It's dark outside, Plagg. Tomorrow after school is my archery. Maybe I'll learn a bit. And my father better not be stubborn again. Marinette is the love of my life. I don't wanna get akumatized again. Who knows if my emotions relate to being blind as a bat. Bat Noir sounds lame" I said, imagining if I was a new akumatized supervillain the same way Kagami went through.

"Yeah, bats are kinda creepy." Plagg agreed.

"They carry rabies you know. Vampire Noir would be too scary to sink his fangs in a victim's neck. I don't wanna imagine that. Anyways, I'm happy to be back in my body again. How much cologne did Marinette put on?" I said, realizing that I smell a little cologne on myself.

"Quite a lot. But don't worry she didn't look down." Plagg said, this made me just shake my head.

"Please stop that, Plagg. It's best if I don't know what she has been doing in my body alone with you" I pouted in annoyance and put took the arrow off the target and put my bow aside.

"Okay sorry." Plagg apologized.

The next morning, I'm going to tell my father that I'm officially dating Marinette. He better not say she's a bad influence the same way he accused my best pal Nino during my 14th birthday was very rude. He better not be busy this time. I never did my creepy glare stare on him because that would be wrong to do that to my father. I went into his office and he stood there looking at the portray of mom.

"Hey, Dad," I said.

"Adrien?" He turned around.

"Is it about mom again?" I asked.

"Yes, it's been some years since she disappeared." He said.

"Well, there's something I gotta tell you. Marinette and I are dating. So after my archery, I'm gonna hang out with her. Please let me spend some time with her without being followed by my bodyguard this time." I said shyly, hoping he does not make another accusation again.

"Very well then. For this time." Father said.

"Thanks, father," I said with excitement.

"No problem. Just make her happy." He replied in the same tone.

I was used to that tone but I'm glad he approved, I guess Nathalie convinced him beforehand. I head outside and into my bodyguard's car as he drove me to school.

I arrived at school and got hugged by Marinette, happy to see me in school. I hugged her back since I'm also happy to see her too.

"Hi, Marinette," I said.

"Hi, Adrien." She snuggled on my chest.

I accidentally purred like a cat but I didn't care because I'm too happy to have her in my arms, especially the lovely cinnamon scent.

"My everyday ladybug," I said before pulling apart so nobody heard me purr. But I do have the territorial instinct like a cat to make sure nobody takes my lady away from me.

"Hey Dude and Dudette." I heard Nino greet us.

"Oh hi Nino, we...erm... were just talking." Marinette stammers.

"No need to lie. I can see you two are dating" Nino said.

"Uhhhh......yeah. I'm.....very protective of my princess. Like a wolf" I stammered stupidly.

"Well, you're lucky, Adrien." Nino winked at us and headed inside the school.

"Well let's go Marinette." I took her hand going inside.

Heading to the locker room to get our class books. The boys were looking at her but I held my arm around her waist, gesturing them to back off that's she's mine. Like a lion claiming his queen.

"Adrien, what are doing?" Marinette asked.

"Keeping jealous boys away," I said.

"Aw, my kitten is becoming a big cat like a panther" Marinette scratching underneath my chin.

"Rawr" I playfully growled with a smirk.

"Hey, Marinette and Adrien." Came Alya's voice.

"Hey, Alya. Listen, I'm back in my own body." Marinette said.

"So am I," I added.

"Prove it you two" Alya said.

I spoke Chinese in my real body this time and I translated as 'I'm back as the real Adrien'.

"Okay. It's you." Alya noticed.

"Yes, It's me again," I replied.

"And since when did you grow claws to protect your lady?" Alya teased me at how I'm very overprotective of Marinette.

"Since forever. We're going on a date after the archery." I explained to her.

"Oh my god. Is it true Marinette?" Alya got excited.

"Yes, It's true Alya." Marinette smiled.

"We are king and queen of Paris, milady" I dipped her.

"Yes, we are, my kitty." Marinette giggled and I moved her up.

"Okay, lovebirds. Let's go before you get lovesick all day" Alya said as we head to class.

All day went by after my archery and I can finally hang out with Marinette. I gotta admit archery was kinda fun and I'm starting to improve a little. I even managed to land a bullseye on the target.

Right now I was getting prepared for my date with Marinette. As civilians this time because I have hung out with her as friends in the past but now this time will be like lovers. After all, Paris is the city of love. I found her at the park near the bakery, a good place to hang out where no crazy fans will be chasing us again. I see she brought macaroons and my favorite croissants in a basket.

"Brought your favorites, Kitty," Marinette said.

"Delicious like a mouse to eat. Especially a glass bottle of milk you have, my princess." I sat on the bench with her to join in eating with her.

"Cats like milk" Marinette giggled and hands me a bottle of milk and a croissant.

"Yep. Warm milk at least." I drank my milk.

"Aww....my sweet kitty. It seems you caught your prey in your paws" Marinette nuzzled my chest.

"A delicious prey." I took one bite of the croissant and tasted it, "They are so good Marinette."

"Glad you still like them," Marinette said, having her own.

"Happy to eat them with my real body," I said while eating them.

"Yeah. And so far nothing to interrupt our date." Marinette said.

"Let's hope Shadow Moth better takes a break from terrorizing today. I like to spend some time with my lady" I put my arm around her neck.

"And me with my kitty," Marinette said.

I purred when I nuzzled the top of her head like a kitty cat. Sheesh, being Cat Noir really gave me feline instincts.

"I love you, Adrien." She said.

"I love you too Marinette," I said smiling.

"For a human, you sure know how to purr like a cute kitty cat" She can feel the vibrations on my chest due to my purring.

"Yep." I petted her pigtails.

With our love being official, we heroes are closer than ever before. Secrets can destroy relationships but as long there's something to learn from our mistakes it will be solved and all will be well. I'm so happy milady finally returned her feelings for me as Cat Noir and I returned mine to her as Adrien Agreste. A new heroic era begins.
