"I thought you didn't want me to know." Chat said, looking at Marinette. "I thought you didn't trust me."

"It was never that, Chaton. I can promise you it was never that.." Marinette said, looking a bit ashamed. "Tikki told me no one must know. So I thought I wasn't allowed. I wanted you to know, but…. And…. And I was scared . You thought I was cool, you thought I was awesome. I wanted to be that. But nothing changed the fact that I was just… I was just me. I was never good enough, never what you saw in me. I was just plain old Marinette. You were probably expecting someone extraordinary, and I'm just mind numbingly ordinary."

"You're not ordinary. You're anything but. I knew you were amazing as Marinette. Now that I know that you're not only the classmate who always stands up for herself, but you're also the amazing superhero who fights villains, even when she's afraid of failure. You're not only the amazing designer that won my father's competition, but also the girl who I've loved since the first time I met. You're not only the classmate that I've started falling for, but you're the partner who I trust with my life. I would never, I repeat that, NEVER think you're good enough. You're amazing. You're too good for me, in fact." Chat rambled, shocking Marinette, and freezing her in her spot.

"Y…. Your classmate… Your father's contest…. You….. You….." Marinette was stunned by all the new information she was getting. When her mind started to work again, it went into overdrive. "Oh my…. You…. You're Adrien." Marinette said, in an awed whisper. "You're Adrien."

"Yes, My Lady. I'm Adrien." Chat said, glad that she understood. He didn't exactly mean to give her all those clues, but he was glad he did. He was glad she knew.

"You're Adrien. How…. How could…. How could I never know….. I…." Marinette was stuttering, the first time she stuttered around Chat.

"I should have known as well, I was looking for you, I kept looking for you. I should have seen the amazing girl that I loved, sitting right behind me. But then, maybe that was why I started falling for you as Marinette, somehow, my heart knew that I loved you, before I did." Chat said, with a sigh. "I've always wanted to know who you are, and have always wanted you to know me, for, well, me. The real me. The one who is only not wearing a mask, when he is. Even though I'm Adrien, it's a mask more often than it isn't. I have to… I have to act a certain way. Be a certain way, since I have to be my father's 'perfect son'. But this is who I am. A total dork who…. wait a moment, I have to do this right." Chat paused, stepping away from Marinette.

"Chat…. Adrien…. What are you…..?" Marinette said, questions in her eyes.

"Plagg, claws in." Chat said, and the transformation melted away, to leave Adrien standing there, looking nervous. "This, this is me. But what others see, what the world sees…. That's not me. I'm not the pushover model who everyone sees me as. I'm a total dork, who only learned to flirt by watching anime. I'm a dork who doesn't have much experience with friends, but values the ones I have more than anything in the world. I was pretty much shut off to the world for a long time. So I may not know how to be friends with someone, or how to apologise for a misunderstanding. I may not know how to be a good friend, but I try my best. I wish I would have been able to show you the real me sooner, so that maybe we could have been friends in school. I just hope…. I hope that now that you know that I'm…. well…. me, that you will still be friends with me. That you won't be intimidated by my father, or still dislike me from the misunderstanding on our first meeting. I… I must admit, it hurt my heart whenever I knew you were avoiding me at school. I am sorry about that, I really am. And I hope we can at least become friends. Even if I wish for much more."

"What are you talking about…. I've never disliked you."

"Why, then, do you run away as soon as I even try to talk to you? You always stutter, as well…."

"It's not because I dislike you…. It's actually….." Marinette said, before taking a calming breath. "Do you remember the day after we met? I was ignoring you, quite pointedly, until that moment in the rain."

"I remember it quite well," He said, looking very much like he wanted to forget it.

"I thought you were just like Chloe, who had tortured me for years. She was the reason I was so shy, in the beginning of the school year. But, when you talked to me out in the rain,. I saw… Well, I saw kindness. You told me how you didn't have many friends, and how it wasn't you who put the gum on my seat. At that moment, you weren't the perfect model boy I first thought you to be. I got to see a glimpse of who you were, and I fell in love with that. I fell in love with who you really were. I've never disliked you. I have always loved you."

"You…. You love me?"

"Yes, mon chaton, I do."

"I love you too, my lady. I love you so much."
