Summary: While they're on a rooftop, Chat Noir tries to confess to Ladybug for the thousandth time. But this particular confession ends with their partnership terminated and Chat Noir's miraculous akumatized. Plagg is in constant pain because of the akuma in the ring. This turn of events causes Adrien's personality to do a full 180 and he is hell-bent on finding out Ladybug's identity. While following a lead at the school's basketball game, Adrien overhears Marinette's voice talking about Master Fu. He goes to investigate who shes talking to and it turns out that its a ladybug kwami. Now holding her greatest secret in his hands, he sets out to exact his revenge.

"Pound it!"

After sharing a victory punch, the air becomes slightly awkward. Cat Noir rubs the back of his head looking nervous. "Hey Ladybug...I have something important to tell you. Can you spare a minute to talk?"

Ladybug looks hesitant and her miraculous gives its final beep. "But my transformation is about to wear off. Is it important or can it wait until tomorrow?" Chat jumps as if he forgot that the time limit even exists.

"Uhhh do you think we can just meet up in like an hour? It's pretty important." He glances away, his face flushed in embarrassment. Ladybug just smiles as if to say 'it's ok'. "Sounds purrfect Chaton. We'll meet in this exact spot ok?"

He nods his head like an excited puppy. " Great! See you then." Ladybug grabs her yoyo and swings away. When Chat is sure she is too far away to see him he pumps his fists and whispers "Yessss..." underneath his breath before leaving to go get ready.

One Hour Later

Chat has just gotten done with putting the finishing touches on the fairy lights. He looks around at the romantic atmosphere that he has created in a little under an hour.

To do so he had bought two black and white striped cushion chairs and put them around a circular glass campfire. Said campfire was filled with stones and is already lit up to save time later on. There's a miniature table next to it for the finger food that he cooked with the help of his chef. Chat turned around to look at the entrance to the rooftop to make sure the red carpet that he laid out had zero wrinkles in it. He smiles when he sees the red candles lining the path to their campfire date area. Everything looks absolutely stunning and he couldn't be more proud of what he's done.

"Oh yeah, I forgot." Chat Noir quickly pulls out his baton to send a message to his lady, telling her to take the elevator like a normal person.A couple of minutes later the door to the roof opens and shes here oh God.

When Ladybug steps through the door the first thing she sees is a very embarrassed Chat Noir hiding something behind his back. Oh God not again Chat...

"What's all this?" She asked uncertainly. Chat twirls his toe on the ground before shakily pulling his hands out from behind his back. He holds out a giant bouquet of deep red roses to Ladybug. "I-I got these for y-you." He takes a deep breath before continuing. "I know that you couldn't make it the last time so I'll just say what I wanted to say then. Ever since we first met I've been intrigued by you. At first, I was just curious because you seemed different from other girls. You-"

Marinette could feel a sense of dread as if something bad was going to happen. "Chat I already told you-"

"-don't treat me like I'm stupid like other people."

"-I don't feel that way towards you."

"An you always put others before yourself to make sure that they're okay."

As Ladybug and Chat Noir talk over each other, Ladybug is slowly backing away towards the edge of the roof while Chat continues to talk to the ground.

"I'm just going to leave before you say something that you'll regret." Ladybug gets annoyed at his ignorance and prepares to leave. At her words, Chat's head snaps up in time to see her standing on the ledge. He gets tongue-tied and the next words that leave his mouth are in a yell of frustration. "I LOVE YOU!"

They make eye contact and in that moment Chat can see the anger in her eyes. She snaps.

"Are you trying to ruin everything?! Our job is to protect Paris, not prance around like some lovesick teenagers! All you ever seem to do is go around shouting about how much you're in love with me when we know nothing about each other." Chat interjected, throwing his arms around. "That's why I want to get to know you. I think its time that we shared our identities with one another." Ladybug curled her finger up as if she were picturing herself choking him.

"This is exactly what I mean! Master Fu told me that we arent to know each other's identities, yet here you are asking me to go steady with you. You're acting like an absolute child. If you're not taking our partnership seriously then maybe you don't deserve to be my partner at all." Her last sentence was spoken coldly with no emotion in her voice.

Chat couldn't believe what he was hearing right now. He thought he knew at least this much about his lady. The Ladybug he knew was kind, charming, and always considerate of other people's feelings. This Ladybug didn't even listen to what he had to say before writing him off as a kid and a lost cause. He could feel the tears welling up in his eyes but he didn't want her to see him crying just to call him weak along with other mean names.

Ladybug watched Noir crush the roses in his hand, his blond hair blocking his eyes. "Fine." He turned his head and threw the roses off the rooftop, his teeth and fists clenched tightly. Anybody a mile away would be able to tell that he was shaking with emotions.

She instantly felt bad for snapping at him and tried to take it back. "Chat you know I didn't mean any of that. None of that is true. I'm so-" "Save it for someone who cares. You made it clear how you feel about...us." Ladybug's mouth snapped shut in shock. Maybe he just needs some time to cool off. She hesitantly spoke again. "Let's talk later once you've calmed down." She quickly yoyoed away to escape from the awkward atmosphere, leaving Chat Noir all alone on the rooftop. Heartbroken.
