Hey guys! It's finally Christmas season! I think this will be my last chapter but I have a really good idea for my next Miraculous Fic so follow me as a author, can't wait! But until then... Onwith the story!

Chapter 6:

POV: Adrien

"Adrien... I.. I can explain!" Marinette didn't know how she would but any excuse she could come up with right now would do.

"Calm down, please" Adrien tried to calm the girl as she had started shaking again.

"First of all how do you feel?" The model was more concerned about her health rather than her explanation. He already knew she would come up with a lame excuse for what he saw so he chose to deal with her health first.

"What..? Oh I uh I'm not so sure." She commented timidly.

Adrien watched as she slowly sat up using the wall for support. She managed to stand up legs shaky and walk a few steps before he intervened. He lifted her up bridal style and sat her back on the bench.

"Woah I don't want you walking just yet, your not strong enough because of the akuma" He knew they would have to discuss what he had seen. So now was as good a time as any.

"Look we should probably talk about what happened" He started and Marinette sat up straight to listen. Her eyes glimmering with fear. "Tell me what happened from your perspective.

"Well...um I was having a really bad day today and Chloe just... Ugh...and when she ruined my jacket I couldn't not be upset. I didn't want anyone to see me cry so I ran from the classroom as far as I could get. I think I managed to get to the back of the school before I sat against a wall. Then a man started talking to me through my head, although I didn't know his name." She knew she was lying through her teeth but she didn't know what else to do.

"All of a sudden I got really weak and I heard a voice coming towards me and that's all I can remember." She finished her story practically out of breath from talking so fast. "What do u know?"

"Well...I guess... Iknowyourladybugandimreallysorry" he blabbed out in one word.

She stared at him stunned. She took up the face a deer in the headlights would make.

"I read this book once that said only Ladybug and Chat Noir couldn't be akumatized. I watched the akuma tap down on you but you were never transformed into a villain. So please be honest, are you ladybug?"

He watched her hang her head down with tears in her eyes. And he was feeling extremely guilty but he wanted the best for his princess and he knew being honest with her was the best decision.

"Yes...I'm Ladybug" She mumbled while staring at her lap.

She was very surprised when she felt a pair of arms wrap around her and spin her around. She slowly decided to look up through her lashes.

"Your not disappointed it's me?" She frowned when she got a light chuckle in reply.

"Disappointed? How could I ever be disappointed? My lady is my princess! There couldn't have been anyone better!"

He was genuinely smiling and she got confused by his words.

"My lady? Princess? What are you..."

She trailed off and her eyes went wide.

"Chat Noir?"

"Right here My Lady" he did a deep bow just to prove his point.

In that instant Marinette's tears began to fall for a different reason. She hugged him so tight that he could barley move.

"Chat...I'm so glad it's you, I was so worried someone found out my secret and would tell everyone, but there wouldn't have been anyone better than my partner to know."

"I'm so glad it finally worked out for your two!" The little red Kwami floated up from Marinette's jacket to say hello.

"Hi, I'm Tikki!" She said with a smile while holding out her had for Adrien to shake. He could only shake with 1 finger cause of her size but it was the thought that counts.

"TIKKI!"

"PLAGG!"

The black cat Kwami came out of his pocket to say hi to his old friend. They were finally back together after thousands of years. The hugged for the longest time and Mari and Adrien just watched in awe.

"It's good to finally meet you and understand what Adrien's talking about when he blabs on and on and on about you" Plagg had floated up to the bluenette to tease his charge.

"Plagg! Your not supposed to say anything to anyone! I think I like you better with cheese stuffed in your mouth!" Adrien tossed a wheel of Camembert in his direction and the cat was off.

"Come on plagg let's give them some time to talk" Tikki dragged her friend and his cheese to the other side of the room.

The two teens started talking just about all the things that finally made sense about each other.

"I guess now that I know may I ask why you never wanted to share identities in the first place?" Adrien had been wondering this for a while. He knew there was always the threat of it getting out and HawkMoth finding out but he always thought it was something more.

"You know why kitty, I didn't want HawkMoth to be able to use us against each other. I didn't want to mix our lives. I was afraid someone would over hear us. There are a number of reasons." She stated every possibility except the real reason.

Adrien looked at her with a look that said 'he knew there was more than she was telling' he stared into her eyes until he finally got her to crack.

"Fine...I didn't want you to be disappointed if you found out the heroic ladybug was just plain old Marinette. I mean ladybug is this strong, confident, graceful person and I can barley walk down the hall without tripping."

"That so isn't true! Your all those things and so much more as Marinette also. Your always so determined and confident while working. And graceful when no ones watching. I honestly can't believe I didn't realize it sooner that you were my partner." Adrien knew he had to reassure her but every word he said was true.

"Do you really mean that?" She seemed skeptical that he was being honest and he couldn't understand why.

That was the other thing he didn't comprehend. Why was she always so nervous around Adrien but not Chat?

"I guess while we're making revelations, can I ask something else?" He was hoping his next question wouldn't cause her to close up again.

"I guess so" Mari responded vaguely.

"Why were you always so nervous around me but never Chat? Did I intimidate you?" Mari was surprised that he looked truly concerned on what she'd say.

"No no of course it was nothing like that! It's just that... I kinda had a crush on you and I wouldn't be able to form coherent sentences when you came near." She looked up with a crimson blush coating her face but was shocked to see Adrien wearing one of his own.

"Is that why you never returned my feelings as Ladybug?" His blush had turned into a mischievous smirk.

"Yeah I guess so. I'm sorry Chat" she walked up and hugged him.

She carefully looked up at him still in the hug. He looked down at her and then to her lips. She slowly started to rise on her toes and she closed her eyes. He held her close and helped close the distance between them.

She could feel his warm breath ghost her lips. They were millimeters from each other when suddenly the bell chose to ring. The moment was lost and they were pulled back to reality.

"So um...are you feeling somewhat better?" Adrien asked trying to gain back his wits while sheepishly rubbing the back of his neck.

"Oh uh yeah. Definitely. Much better." The bluenette was flushed pink and was collecting whatever things they had accumulated in the locker room.

She knew students would be coming soon so she chose now or never.

Marinette walked over to Adrien still a bit unsure. "Thanks so much for the help kitty. And remember it's our little secret." She put her finger to her lips in a playful manner and he smiled.

She pushed up on her tip toes and gave him a quick kiss before walking out the door. Leaving a stunned Adrien to gawk and the audacity of the girl.

'I guess this is why you should never mess with Marinette' he thought before he grabbed his bags and headed off for his next class.
