Hey guys! Once again, thank you for the support. This chapter will include the r-word and a LOT OF FLUFF, SO BE CAREFUL! This will be the final chapter of this story. A few of my friends have been asking for the playlist I listen to while writing this. I'll add a part with that after this chapter, but in the meantime, thank you for the well-wishes on my tests and enjoy!

"Adrien!" Marinette giggled, pressing her hands against her boyfriend's chest. God, she loved calling him that. She didn't have to dream about calling him her boyfriend anymore. It was a reality- although, she had to be honest, it felt like a dream whenever she was with him.

"Marinette!" Adrien mocked her, removing her hands and reaching over to continue kissing her cheeks and lips. Marinette's giggle was like music to his ears, and he wanted nothing more than to hear it again and again. "I love you," he whined as she pulled farther away from him. "Let me kiss you!"

His face brightened considerably when Marinette laughed again. "And I love you," Marinette said, giving Adrien a quick peck, which they both smiled into. Marinette thought back to earlier in the day when she had been talking with Alya about her relationship with Adrien. The two had been dating for weeks now and Alya felt like it was time for Marinette to open up to her best friend about Adrien.

Marinette raised an eyebrow, crossing her arms. "Why do we need to talk about Adrien?"

"Well," Alya drawled. Marinette could tell she was feeling awkward. "Nino told me that Adrien was pretty much in love with Ladybug. I just don't want you to be hurt if he goes to Ladybug, okay? Maybe you should talk to him about it?"

Marinette's breath hitched. Adrien was in love with Ladybug? Well, that wasn't exactly a problem, seeing as Marinette was Ladybug. But she couldn't tell Alya that, so Marinette settled with shrugging and agreeing to talk with Adrien about it.

Anyways, it would be fun to mess with him.

"Adrien, we need to talk, okay?" Marinette said, clasping her hand over Adrien's mouth and using the other to push him a little backward. She felt his lips curve into a frown under her hands.

"Are we in trouble?" Adrien asked slowly, carefully, after removing his girlfriend's hand from his mouth and giving it a quick kiss. "If I did something, I'm so-"

"No, we aren't in trouble," Marinette giggled. "You didn't do anything. I love you, forever, remember?" Marinette teased, leaning up to kiss Adrien's cheek. She smirked when he blushed a little and looked down.

"Well, then what?"

Marinette gulped and looked away. Inside, she knew her worries weren't real, and she was only acting, but Adrien didn't need to know that. "Ah, Al- er, someone told me you have, or had, I don't know, a little-more-than-a-little crush on Ladybug. I just- you know- I don't- well I mean to say- is it true?"

Adrien blinked, taken aback. The moment he had realized and come to terms with his love for Marinette, the moment he kissed her for the very first time, Adrien had immediately shoved away his feelings for Ladybug. He accepted the fact that Ladybug would never love him, but he'd still be her friend. The model had let his love for the spotted lady go, and slowly, as he spent more time with Marinette and fell even deeper in love with her, Ladybug became the farthest thing from his mind. Marinette was his, and he wasn't planning on letting go. There would always be a place for Ladybug in his heart, but it would never be as close to him as Marinette.

As Adrien explained this to the love of his life, he refused to look at her face. He couldn't handle looking at her beautiful, full lips, or her silky, dark hair. If he couldn't handle those, how could the boy even attempt to stomach looking into his princess' bright, deep, doe-like eyes while talking about his previous love for another woman?

Somewhere around the part where Adrien mentioned that he wasn't planning on letting go of Marinette, the girl herself broke. She couldn't hold herself back anymore. It broke her heart that her love couldn't even look at her while saying this. She interrupted him in the only way she could without letting her tears flow.

Marinette pressed her lips on Adrien's, effectively making him shut up. He blinked, blanking for a second before closing his eyes and pressing against Marinette. He groaned when she brought a hand up to his hair. Marinette smiled at his reaction, glad she could get it from him. He let out a low whine as she pulled away reluctantly.

"Adrien," she breathed, her face flushed from the kiss. "I love you."

Adrien couldn't hold in his bright grin as he pulled Marinette lips back to his.

An hour or so later, once Adrien had gone out of vision and hearing range from her house, Marinette turned to Tikki. "Come on, Tikki. We've got a patrol to get to. Spots on!"

Ladybug tossed her yo-yo, yanking on it after it wrapped around a building. She grinned, loving the feeling of the wind in her hair as she lept from rooftop to rooftop. The savior of Paris was on her way to the Eiffel Tower to meet Chat Noir for a patrol. Lately, the nights had been pretty dull, with only a couple robberies or muggings a month. Ladybug had agreed with Chat that they could bring their phones for patrols, as long as they didn't get too distracted.

When the spotted heroine reached the Eiffel Tower, Chat was already there. Ladybug giggled at his sight, as he was crouching on the ground as if he were a cat. He licked his hand and used the back of it to brush away part of his bangs that were dangling in front of his eyes, blocking his sight.

"Hey, Kitty," Ladybug greeted kindly. "Ready to go?"

"Of course, my lady," the cat swiftly stood and turned around, trying to mask his surprise. "I'm ready for anything when you're with me," he purred.

Ladybug rolled her eyes. "You seem to be in a particularly good mood today."

"I am," he said. "I just came from hanging out with my girlfriend."

"What a coincidence," the heroine smiled, "I just came from spending some time with my boyfriend. Anyways, should we go?"

With a nod from her feline partner, Ladybug tossed her yo-yo and yanked on it, sending her jumping and running across rooftops, side by side with Chat Noir. After a patrol of about 45 minutes, Ladybug and Chat Noir were sitting on a rooftop together. They were quiet, each immersed in their own thoughts.

Chat hummed quietly to himself, glad things had gone the way they did at Marinette's house. He wondered what she was up to now. Pulling out his phone, he sent Marinette a quick text.

Hey, what's up?

He looked up in surprise after sending it. Less than a second after he clicked sent, Ladybug's phone sounded a notification alarm. Ladybug took out her phone, Chat watching closely. He blinked in surprise at her lock and home screens. They were both him. Well, not him, but Adrien. As Chat looked closely, he noticed that the picture of her lock screen was their entire group of four friends. Her home screen was just him, and him laughing. There was no way Ladybug could get that from a photo shoot because he only laughed like that with his friends. He was sure of it.

"So, my lady, where did you get those photos of Agreste?" he asked, leaning closer to her to get a closer look. "Are you a fan?" Chat teased, knocking his shoulder lightly with Ladybug's.

To his surprise, Ladybug only scoffed. "Please, Chat. I'm a fan, yes, but I'm more than that. I'm his girlfriend!"

Chat blinked. She's what? Chat Noir wasn't cheating on his princess. "Are you joking?" he asked skeptically. He didn't want to believe that Marinette was Ladybug. That would mean his girlfriend has been eaten by a dinosaur, ridden a dragon, and so much more dangerous stuff. Plus, she threw his ass halfway across Paris.

"No! See, I'll call him right now. On speaker," before Chat could protest, Ladybug had clicked call and the feline hero's phone began to ring. Chat Noir simply stared at his phone. He sheepishly looked at his partner from the side while sliding his finger over the green "answer call" button and bringing his phone to his ear.

"Hey Mari," he said quietly.

"Adrien," Ladybug breathed. "Oh my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my- Oh my God!" Chat Noir leaned back in surprise when the blackette jumped up and began to walk back and forth. "Oh my God. You- you're- but you can't be, you're so sweet- and Chat's just- puns- and the kiss a year ago- and you died- and you almost..." Ladybug gasped and turned around.

To Chat's surprise, Ladybug looked angry. Really, if she were a cartoon, steam would be coming out of her ears. He stood up and instinctively lifted is hands in an "I'm innocent" position.

The blond stepped back when his girlfriend jabbed a finger into his chest harshly. His brow furrowed. Ladybug- Marinette- was shaking. He reached out a hand to hold her, but the heroine only slapped it away.

"Spots off," Marinette said, drawing in a shaky breath as she de-transformed. Tikki, her kwami, only sat on Marinette's shoulder, comforting the girl a little bit.

"You-" Marinette whisper-shouted. "You were falling from a building and didn't transform!? How could you? You almost died, Adrien!" Marinette's voice had risen to a shaky shout now, and a single tear fell from her eye. "I almost lost you, do you know how terrifying that was?!"

When Adrien de-transformed, Plagg flew away from his holder and pulled Tikki away, both whispering excitedly. Adrien only stood there. He didn't know how to comfort his princess, but her voice broke his heart.

"But I didn't," Adrien whispered. "I didn't, because I loved you, and I trusted you."

"I barely got away in time! You're lucky Hawk Moth didn't feel like killing anyone that day!" Marinette said, exasperated.

"I didn't die, I'm right here, princess," Adrien said, slowly reaching a hand to her shoulder. "You saved me. The past is in the past, so let it go. I'm here."

Marinette released a single sob, which prompted the blond to pull her into his chest and wrap his arms around her. He held in a chuckle when the unmasked heroine started to lightly punch his torso.

"Shh," Adrien cooed when Marinette sobbed once again, pushing one last weak punch into his chest. "I'm right here. I love you."

He sat down on the rooftop, Marinette still in his arms. He felt her lean against him more, and he began to rub his hand up and down her arm. "I love you, too," Adrien smiled when he heard her whisper.

They sat quietly for a while, exchanging small forehead and cheek kisses, along with an "I love you," every now and then.

Marinette grinned, jumping onto Adrien's bed. "This is so comfortable," she sighed happily. Adrien laughed, laying down next to his girlfriend. It had been a few days since the reveal, and the couple couldn't be happier. Chloe was beginning to lay off, akumas were decreasing, the bakery was blooming because Adrien went there so often now.

The two stayed quiet for a while, basking in each other's company. Adrien intertwined his fingers with Marinette's, lifting her hand to give it a kiss. Marinette giggled, pulling her hand back. Adrien smirked, holding her hand again, but his mind began to drift off. Marinette was Ladybug. The girl of his dreams was the heroine of his dreams. It was awesome. He thought back to when akumas were frequent, and all the dumb things they had to do to save Paris. Ladybug risked her life so many times for this city.

"... I can't believe you jumped into a T-Rex's mouth," Adrien said. Marinette blinked in surprise, but then turned on her side to face him.

"You jumped in front of Dark Cupid and got shot," she scoffed.

"You almost let yourself get sacrificed by an Egyptian god!"

"You tried to take on an army of knights by yourself!"

"You tried to defeat an akuma by forming an impromptu band and singing about a smelly wolf!"

"Hey, it worked, and anyway, you threw your bodyguard down a lift shaft from the eighth floor!"

"You threw me across Paris!"

"You jumped in front of Timebreaker and basically died!"

"You rode a hairdryer!"

"And while I did that, you stood there and made a useless pun! And, you decided that the best way to protect a prince was by putting a bowl on his head! Not to mention the time you asked me if I thought your alter ego was cool to validate that you're not a complete dork, which you are. You were genuinely annoyed because your copycat didn't make good puns. Also, you pretend to take showers at the most inconvenient times to avoid having your identity revealed!" Marinette finished, laughing hard. She kept giggling, and soon Adrien joined her. They were laughing so hard that tears began to stream from their eyes.

"Oh my God, fine," Adrien laughed. "I'm dumber than you!" he gasped for air, but he couldn't stop laughing. Once the couple slowed their laughing, they sighed and faced each other.

"You may be a total dork-asaurus," Marinette teased when Adrien pulled her closer. "But I love you and I'm so happy to be your partner. I need you," she admitted with a grin.

"And I love you," Adrien said, giving his lady a sweet kiss. "And I need you. You complete me, you are beautiful, and you're mine. It feels so good to say that," the model chuckled. Marinette giggled lightly.

"I love you, forever," the hero said, pressing a final kiss against his girlfriend's lips.

Marinette smiled sweetly and looked up at him. "And you, kitty, I love you, forever."

Bonus Scene

Marinette groaned, her phone's ringtone waking both her and her kwami up. She blinked, getting used to the bright screen before seing who was calling. She brightened at the name, then slouching in confusion before flopping back onto the bed.

"Adrien? What is it?"

"Hey, princess, sorry to wake you up. Plagg won't let me sleep. He wants to talk to Tikki."

Marinette groaned, rubbing her face.

"Again?"

And that's it! Thank you, thank you, thank you for reading and for all the support! More MLB fanfictions will be on their way! I'm thinking of doing a medieval times AU because I saw this Tumblr post about how Chat Noir must call Marinette "Princess" because a previous holder was in love with a princess (who was obviously a previous Ladybug) and it was a subconscious thought flowing in through Plagg.

Anyways, the playlist my friends were asking for will be coming soon. Thank all of you so, so, so much for reading, favoriting, following, and reviewing! I love you all!
