A.N.: Hello all, I am reporting this chapter because after getting a few reviews and realizing one part coped and repeated itself many times I felt silly. So I am reposting it without that error. I am sorry if that caused anyone confusion. I must have just over looked it because I was so excited about posting this chapter. Also, I want to let you all know that there will be more background on what was all going on in Marinette's head during the time between, trust me. I have a plan [; Thanks again everyone for dealing with me and my not computer savvy self. (^_^')/

In the Morning

Chapter Elven: It's You

.

.

.

M. POV:

'My head is killing me…' I slowly try and open my eyes but stop due to the pain. 'What in the world happened?' It's just then I realized I am laying in a soft, warm bed. This time I try even harder ad pry my eyes open.

The room around me fades into view from the darkness to the light. It is super bright in here, there must be a lot of windows. I carefully push myself to a sitting position and blink a few times. Finally the bright world around me focuses and I see a room I have grown to know very well in the past few weeks.

Adrien's room.

I feel panic starting to set into my veins. Then I hear his voice, I turn my head to it a sharp pain stinging down the back of my head and neck as I do so.

"Oh good, your awake." He smiles as he walks over and sits on the foot of the bed.

"Wh-" My mouth is so dry it causes me to cough a few times, "Why am I here?" I finish as I notice the glass of ice water Adrien is offering me. I take it thankfully and gulp down the cold liquid.

"Well, ah, I-" The blond in front of me rubbed the back of his head uncomfortably.

"Don't hide it any more kid." A voice calls from somewhere in the room.

"You know you need to tell her you know!" A high voice I do know encourages.

I gasp and look for her, "Tikki!?" Panic again. 'This is NOT happening…' I watch as Tikki zips toward me, a large cookie in her little hands. I cup her in my hand and press her to my cheek. "Thank goodness you are alright. But you should be hiding." I whisper, my eyes flicking to Adrien and back to her.

"Why does she? You know I have a kwami too." Adrien smiles as his appears on his shoulder, "We don't have to hide anything anymore, right My Lady?" I feel my breathing hitch at his words but quickly release it as I see a warm, loving smile cross his lips. Without taking his eyes from mine he stood from the foot of the bed to come stand beside my sitting form. Again, without saying a word he pulls me into his arms.

After a moment he softly whispers, "I am so glad it's you."

I feel all the tension leave my body and I raise my arms to hug him back, "I'm glad it's you too."

After sitting with our arms around each other for a few moments we part, "Are you hungry or anything?" Adrien asks and almost as if on cue my stomach growls. We laugh and he leaves to go get me something.

I sat in silence with Tikki and Plagg for a few moments more before speaking, "Tikki, is this really okay? For us to know who the other is? I thought we could never know."

"Well Marinette, while that is true at the start it has been long enough. In every case Chat Noirs and Ladybugs always learn the others identity at some point."

"Then why is it so important that we don't know a first?"

"Because without even noticing you learned who you love. You got to know each other without trying. Plus, it's destiny for Chat Noirs and Ladybugs to be together!" She beams and I blush.

"Wait! Tikki what are you sa-" Adrien walks through his door with a tray in his hands and I stop my words. I stand slowly and walk over to his couch and sit in front of the food. "Thank you Adrien…" I blush deeper.

He smooths the cushion out and sits down beside me, "Not a problem at all, enjoy." He smiles to himself before he adds, "I really am so glad you are Ladybug."

I slightly choke on my tea I was sipping. "I-I am glad, but, ah um can we keep the "Ladybug" to when I am covered in spots?" I smile warily.

"OH! Sure! I'm sorry… I- Ah, I didn't mean to…" he tries to correct himself. "So..."

I could see him twiddling his thumbs out of the corner of my eye. "So I, I guess we meant to be together huh?" I smirk at him. Where is this boost of confidence coming from? I mentally scream at myself, only freaking out a little on the inside.

"Yep! That's how the story goes!" Plagg shouts from the table, his little face bright with a smile. "I'm glad too! You two have made for quite the story!"

"It's pretty true!" Tikkie laughed softly, "Marinette loving Adrien and Adrien loving Ladybug, Ladybug and Chat Noir's patnership, and Marinette's attitude to Chat Noir, it's quite the love square." Tikki chuckled again.

"Tikki!" I gasp and I hear Adrien gasp as well at the statement and turn all shade of red.

"Wait, so when Ladybug turned me, well Chat Noir, down it was because she was in love with me, Adrien me." I see the realization in his wonderful green eyes.

"That's true Adrien…" I remember back to how odd Adrien was the days that follows that scene, "I am so sorry to have hurt you like that. I know I hurt Chat Noir but I felt wrong being with Adrien because I also felt like I should be with-" I felt his finger press against my lips.

"It's okay Marinette, I just told myself it would be better in the morning but to be honest, at first, I, I kind of thought being with you would help me to get over Ladybug but then I fell for you. I felt horrible for in a way using you. Words can't express how sorry." I could hear the pain of his actions in his words.

"It's all okay, I guess when two people are truly meant to be everything works itself out in the end." I take his hand and smile. His other hand slides to my shoulder and pulls me to him. Our lips meet and sparks fly, covering my vision as I close my eyes. This is that kiss that said everything. It was the kiss of two true loves finally together, I feel him press his mouth slightly harder against mine and I comply. I move my hands from my lap and his hand and thread them into his soft hair and pulled him closer. I feel his lips moving against mine and my world is spinning.

I had thought since our first kiss that there was always more to it. And now I know why. Our kisses always feel heavenly but they kind of always felt very forceful and needy. Like they were deep and urgent, needed to erase pain. This kiss is different. It is full of passion and understanding, there is a forcefulness but it more of that passion, not a need or a want but just love flowing through us. I feel myself smile into our kiss as I feel my last worry and insecurity leave me. Adrien's hands have found their way to my lower back and are resting there as we continue our kiss, his fingers slightly pushing into my skin. After a few moments of slight passion Adrien pulled back, huffing slightly he rests his forehead against mine.

"I think I can actually say this again and know what I am going to hear back. Marinette, I lo-"

"Hold that thought!" Plagg cuts him off. "I let you guys do all the kissing because well… I guess I'm a softie. Buuuuuuut… we still have an akuma on the loose making clones and whatnot and they've been out there for hours running wild."

"Plagg that was so mature of you!" TIkki hugs he kwami friend as he reminds us of our duties, "He is right. Paris needs its heroes."

"Oh my gosh… that's right!" I gasp not believing I forgot. "We have to go!"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, I guess we do." Adrien sighed as he stood and stretched.

"Hey, no pouting, I let you have your little make out session while I was sitting right there!" Plagg retorted.

I feel my face turn red, I forgot they were right there the whole time.

"Oh stop Plagg, it's not the first." Tikki finished her cookie, "Ready Marinette?"

I look to Adrien who's face is masked with worry now, "Are you sure you are okay? You hit your head really hard and the impact knocked you out, that's how you ended up here. So are you really okay to fight?" I feel my heart thumping in my chest as he shows the caring, compassionate side of him I love of him just as much as I love the bold and kind of cocky side. This boy is going to be the end of me, but who am I kidding, I've known that for a long time.

"I've got my partner by my side so I know I'll be okay." I wink.

His Chat smile slides across his face and he nods. Together we say our famous words, "Spots on" and "Claws out" as red and green lights blanket the room.
