NOTE: Hey guys! Here it is! The final chapter of this story! *SQUEALS IN EXCITEMENT*

Anywho, onto some reviews!:

UnicornSecrets: ...This is SO INTENSE RIGHT NOW! ...

I am pointing out this one sentence in your review just because I find it amusing. I use xSooIntense as my username (mostly games) for most things, and I just love when someone says something to me like "ITS SO INTENSE" because like... Im kinda trying to live up to my username. LMAO.

A few of you have been asking whether or not there's a reveal.

I haven't answered that because I didn't want too. haha I didn't want to say no, and I didn't want to say yes. I didn't want to provide any kinds of hint to a reveal or not... because you see... there's a sequel coming up... and... I've already said too much. ENJOY THE LAST CHAPTER.

Chapter Eleven: Goodbye LadyBug

Adrien Agreste

Everything around him became a blur. And the only thing he could hear was the sounds of his breathing, and his heavily beating heart.

His legs were shaky, and his now clammy hands were sticking to the material of Marinette's dress. His pupils dilated at the sight in front of him. Her eyes. Those bluebell colored eyes.

He held his breath, waiting for an answer, and as he did, the thump of his heart reverberated through his body, making his limbs feel all noodly.

"Am good I," she responded with a squeak. She then shook her head. "I mean… I am good!"

Adrien restrained himself from chuckling, and instead smiled at the bluenette. His old self would have just stared at her in confusion, but the way she mixed up her words in front of him from time to time was now deemed as a cute action from her in his book.

"That's good," he said before realizing that he was still holding onto her on the street. He had to bring her to the side before they both got run over by the next float coming their way.

He cleared his throat before setting the bluenette back onto the ground. He then took her hand and began leading her back onto the sidelines where everyone was still enjoying the sight of the passing floats. A majority of them seemed to have taken more interest in what was going on in the winter float. As he looked to the left, he could see a bunch of the citizens following the float, entertained by the Bourgeois siblings. He could just barely hear the two arguing, and yelling over one another. Their argument was surely going to be the headline on the newspaper sometime in the next couple days.

"So," he said, taking her away from the cheering crowd. He began to rub his nape while looking downwards at the place between his shoes. He was feeling incredibly shy and was having a hard time bringing himself to look up at her. "Do you need to get back on that float? Or…?" He bit his bottom, mustering the courage to slightly glance up.

"Uhm," said Marinette. "I don't think I'm needed on the float anymore. My purse is there, but Alya can just give it to me on Monday. I'm too exhausted to chase the float and listen to the two bicker. I think I'll just head home. It's been a really long day."

"Yeah," Adrien agreed. "I can see that..."

He slipped his hand into his pocket and immediately felt the plastic case that was enveloping Marinette's phone. He almost forgot about that. He pulled the phone out from his pocket, and handed it over to the bluenette. "This is yours," he said. "Uhm… Chat Noir found me in the crowd… and told me to give it back to you."

"Oh." Marinette perked up as she reached out to take the phone from his grasp. "Right. You asked him to check up on me."

Adrien's cheeks began to blush. "Ye-Yeah," he said. "Seeing how Kirsten treats everyone, well… I was worried that she would do something to you." He glanced down once more before looking right back up to meet her beautiful, entrancing bluebell colored eyes.

She was quick to look away as his eyes met hers. "That's really sweet of you Adrien," she mumbled while fiddling with the hem of her dress. "I-I guess I'll see you Monday then!" She squeaked before turning on her heel. She then proceeded to walk away from him.

The honey blonde blinked several times, startled by her sudden goodbye. He felt his heart slightly shatter upon seeing her walk away from him. He didn't want to go separate ways. He especially didn't want to wait till Monday to see her. He wanted to spend just a little bit more time with her.

"W-Wait!" he called out while taking a few steps forward. He extended his arm as an attempt to reach for her arm, but the second he yelled, Marinette turned her head to look at him.

"What is it?" she asked, her face a bright shade of red.

Adrien brought his arm back to his side while trying to think of something to say. "Uhhh…" He paused for a short second as his eyes began to dart from one object to another. "Let me walk you home," he finally said. "It's the least I can do."

"For what?" asked Marinette. "I spilled a smoothie on your clothes, I stole your boxers, and lied to you about all of my dares."

"It was still a great day!" He smiled before sauntering over to her. "Let's go."

"Uhm…" Marinette looked away, bashfully. "My house is actually this way…" she muttered before pointing back in the direction where they just stood.

Adrien raised an eyebrow, confused as to why she ended up walking in the wrong direction when she said bye. "Then why were you walking this way?"

"I… I guess I'm just too tired." She giggled awkwardly before turning on her heel once more to walk the other way.

Adrien stifled another chuckle before quickening his pace for a few steps to stand right next to her. "You know, I wasn't really honest with you today either."

"What do you mean?" Marinette asked. "Don't tell me I stole your father's undergarments instead of yours!" She stopped for a second before slamming her cheeks with the palms of her hands. Her face was now filled with shock, and Adrien was beginning to feel curious about the thoughts that pondered through her head in a day.

"Those were mine," he chuckled while nudging her with his arm to make her continue with their walk.

"Then what it is?"

"Ever since Dare Night started for you girls, Nino and a bunch of the guys have been trying to figure out how the game worked over the years."

Marinette gasped like she just figured something out. "Is that why Nino was following Alya? And why Ivan was following Mylene?" Adrien turned his head to look at her as they began to cross the street. She looked deep in thought, causing him to blush at the sight. Everything she did was suddenly adorable to him.

"When we first started this whole thing, they were always asking questions about it, and then they stopped. I always assumed it was because they lost interest," said Marinette. "I'm sure they're happy now though. They should be able to piece the puzzles together just by watching and listening to Chloe and Kirsten on the float."

"I don't know," said Adrien. "I understand you were all pulled into completing those dares because Kirsten blackmailed all of you. I would complete a bunch of dares too, if someone were going threaten to reveal a terrible secret of mine. But…"

"But what?" she asked as they made a turn.

Adrien maneuvered himself around an empty cardboard box, seeing the bakery just up ahead. "I'd want to know all the secrets," he replied. "I'm especially curious about yours since it involves me."

"They're a secret for a reason," Marinette said while nudging him with her arm. He took it as sign to not bring up the secret again. He couldn't help it though. It involved him. He had the right to know.

"Well… let's see… You said that the dares were somehow related to the secret." He began to stroke his chin. "You had to spend the entire day with me. You had to steal my boxers. And you had to kiss me. If I had to guess…" His mind began to think of a bunch of possible secrets. "You did something embarrassing involving me, and I didn't notice. So you had to spend the day with me and kiss me to make up for it." He finished, feeling quite proud of himself. "Maybe you stole a bunch of my boxers," he joked. "I think I'm actually missing a lot."

Marinette rolled her eyes as they came to a stop in front of her home. He took a couple steps forwards, and stood in front of her, waiting for a reply.

"If that's what you think," she said.

He grimaced. "Is that not it?"

"If you think that's it, then that is it."

He knew that meant that he was wrong. "Will you tell me a secret if I tell you one of mine?"

"No," she was quick to respond.

"I'll tell you a really good one."

"No."

"Why not?" He grimaced once more. "I helped you complete your last dare. I kissed you, so that you wouldn't have to face the consequences. Come to think of it now, maybe I shouldn't have kissed you… That way I would have found out-"

Adrien's eyes widened as he felt Marinette's lips smack against his own. At first he felt himself tense up, but as Marinette's lips began to warm his own, he felt his body relax, and he closed his eyes. Marinette wasn't doing anything, except pressing her lips right up against his. This caused him to want a real, passionate kiss with her even more. He raised his right arm, and rested his hand on her side before mustering the courage to move his lips, and let them fit around hers much more comfortably.

As he tilted his head to get in a much more comfortable position, Marinette pulled away from him, and Adrien's eyes fluttered right open at her action. He looked straight ahead at Marinette, unable to blink his own eyes. His arm was still slightly extended outwards, feeling lonely without holding onto her. And his lips, they felt colder than before.

"There," she said breathless with a face that Adrien couldn't possibly believe to get redder than he already seen. "I kissed you. So now, we're even."

"But- kissed you I." He shook his head, biting his tongue. He was doing the thing that Marinette usually did. "I mean… I kissed you!"

"But the dare said I had to kiss you… so I can now say that I officially completed it."

"But that doesn't count."

"Why not?" She pouted. "We didn't establish any rules," she finished off before tugging on the key around her neck. She pulled on it hard enough for the clasp of the necklace to open, and as she brought her arm back to her side she said, "Thank you Adrien. Thanks for helping me out today."

Adrien then began to watch the girl walk up to the door, and insert the key into the keyhole.

As he watched her enter her home, she turned around and gave him a final wave. "I'll see you Monday!" she called out before disappearing away from his sight.

For several minutes, Adrien stood there, unable to take his eyes away from the door in front of him.

Plagg was right. He couldn't be in love with a girl who had to hide her true self from him. It wouldn't work out, and in the end, it would hurt far more than it already has.

But with Marinette, he could see her as much as he desired, and get to know everything about her. He felt weird letting go of the girl he so desperately wanted to be with for months. But everything was going to be better that way.

At that very moment he felt like it was safe to say… Goodbye LadyBug. And hello Marinette Dupain-Cheng.
