WOW LOOK A THIRD CHAPTER

After staring at him for a little while and processing, Marinette told Adrien that he should probably transform back and head home, but that she would keep his secret and he was welcome anytime. After showing him to the skylight through which he had entered, waving goodbye and retreating back into her room she looked at Tiki, who had just reappeared.

"How could I be so stupid. It is so obvious! I never see them together, they both have blonde hair and green eyes and-" She paused, her face turning into one of terror. "Oh my god, am I that obvious? I change even less than he does with transformation! How close am I to being discovered!" Marinette started freaking out, pacing back and forth.

"Calm down Marinette. I'm sure nobody has noticed yet, but if it really matters to you, I can make some changes in the outfit to make you look a little different," Tiki suggested. Marinette stopped in her tracks and looked over at the sprite.

"You are telling me I could have designed my own outfit this whole time?" Marinette asked, the gears of her mind turning rapidly with all the different design choices she could make. A slightly darker shade of red? Some different shades of grey on the dots to help with camouflage? She wondered if tiki could make her appear to have a pixie cut, that might be cute. Or maybe twin buns instead of pigtails, to give a Chinese flair and pay a little homage to her heritage?

"Now before you get carried away, I can't change everything. I can only work in the white-red-black color range. More importantly, something you might not have realised, I have a matter conservation thing with the suit. I can't give you much more suit than what you are already wearing. So that means I can't grow your hair for your transformation, or make your suit much more elaborate than it already is," The kiwami told Marinette, who was nodding, slightly more toned down now that she knew she had restrictions.

"Ok, I might start thinking of a way around that, but for now, I think I want my hair in twin buns and a blue tint over my eyes like Chat, or I guess Adrien, has over his," She told Tiki, who simply nodded.

When she walked into the classroom and Adrien was sitting right where he always did, Marinette found it impossible not to see Chat. When he saw her he smiled nervously and returned to looking like the Adrien she knew and loved, someone who was kind hearted but not overwhelmingly worldly.

Oh my god, she thought, it finally made sense why he flirted with ladybug with all those dumb puns. Adrien had 0 regular interactions with girls, unless you count Chloe, which Marinette didn't. He probably based his flirting technique off of TV and movies, like any socially awkward teen.

This train for thought reminded Marinette of a crucial detail she had not thought about while her mind was wrapped up in costume change ideas. Chat Noir loved Ladybug. Chat Noir was Adrien. Adrien loved Ladybug. She was Ladybug.

She fell down in her seat with a look of shock on her face, not being even remotely shaken from her stupor until the bell rang. She looked down at Adrien, who was in love with her and didn't even know, and turned an unhealthy shade of red. She turned to look to the teacher in hope that her lessons would distract her from the very complicated love life of her alter ego.

After not focusing on her teacher and mulling over a million different scenarios in her head, Marinette came to the very dreamy conclusion that there was nothing complicated about her love life or her alter ego. All she had to do was drop by Adrien's as Ladybug, reveal herself, and they would live happily ever after, fighting crime and attending fashion week together.

Everything would be great.

WOW LOOK! SOMETHING THAT ALLUDES TO ANOTHER CHAPTER!
