Okay. Here we go.
Real quick shout out to all the guest reviewers from yesterday and today-
KrisKrat(Ch28)- Glad to make your night. Hope this one is good as well!
GGuest (Ch28)- Not rude at all, I get what you mean. I'm gonna miss this fic too once it's done. It's been a lot of fun to write.
Guest(Ch28)- You're very welcome XD Thank you for reading it!
Guest(Ch29)- And this month I got a lot of practice in. I still think the slower pace, where I have more time for edits is prefered, but it certainly was fun to try something different!
Adrinetteshipper(Ch29)- Alya's dreams have come true, but when does Alya get to know that? The world may never know.
I do not own anything Mirculous Ladybug.
They stared at each other in shocked silence.
"So, um. . . That happened," Adrien said.
Marinette let out a nervous giggle. "Is Plagg always like that, or is it just when I'm around?"
"Oh, he's always like that," he assured her.
"He's just so. . .different from Tikki."
That piqued Adrien's interest. "What is Tikki like?"
"She's very supportive and polite. Cookies are her favorite."
"Lucky! All Plagg will eat is cheese."
Marinette frowned. "So wait, do you not like cheese then?"
He shrugged. "It's fine, I guess. I mostly eat it so people won't get suspicious of why I smell like cheese all the time. Plagg's incessant eating of it has kinda thrown me off it."
Marinette's groaned and buried her face in her hands. "I've been giving you sandwiches with camembert in them."
He laughed and pulled her in for a hug. "And Plagg's loved them. It's his favorite."
She let out a small whine and banged her face against his shoulder. "I should have known it wasn't actually your favorite. I can't believe I didn't see that."
He nuzzled her hair, pretty sure he could feel the heat radiating off her face from her blush. "How were you supposed to know that it was the tiny god in my pocket eating all that cheese and not me?"
"Considering that I have a tiny god of my own in my purse, I feel like I should have caught onto that sooner."
"Yeah, I'm assuming she eats cookies?"
"How did you guess?"
"Because nobody could pack away as many as you supposedly eat and not gain weight."
She pulled back to punch him lightly in the shoulder. "Rude. And I'll have you know that rooftop hopping is an excellent way to burn off calories. You should know, you eat twice as many as I ever have."
He smiled, reaching out to cup her cheeks. "This is really real right? I'm not dreaming?"
She reached out and pinched his arm.
"Ow!"
She smiled impishly. "You asked if you were dreaming."
"And I did do the same to you when we confessed in the closet," he grumbled before his wonderment took over once more. "Can I hear you say it?"
Marinette didn't have to ask to know what he was asking for. She reached up and wrapped her hand around one of his that was still cupping her cheek, before pulling it back and stepping away. She held up a finger and left him there while she foraged in her closet, leaving him to simply stand there bemused, but enjoying the view. She came back holding a very familiar umbrella and held it out to him. "Let's start over again. Hi, I'm Marinette Dupain-Cheng, also known as Ladybug."
He had déjà vu to all those months ago during lunch when she'd done the same action. "Nice to meet you. I'm Adrien Agreste, also known as Chat Noir."
"Nice to meet you Adriene Chat Noir Agreste. I really like you."
He took the umbrella and set it gently on the ground. Then he took her hand in his and dropped down on one knee. "I really like you too. Marinette Ladybug Dupain-Cheng, would you be my girlfriend?"
"I already told you yes."
"You told Adrien Agreste that you'd date him, not Adrien Chat Noir Agreste."
She rolled her eyes and pulled him up. "You're the same person, just with a longer name, you dork."
He used their still connected hands to pull her close once more. "And you, my lady, don't change a bit either."
"So what does change then?"
He shrugged. "What do you want to change?"
She frowned as she thought. "For now, nothing."
"Nothing, nothing?" Adrien asked.
Marinette nodded. "Nothing, nothing, and yes, I am including Ladybug and Chat Noir remaining single."
"But you just said-"
"I know we just agreed that we're the same people. We know that. Everybody else doesn't, but if Ladybug and Chat Noir start dating immediately after Marinette and Adrien get together, don't you think that might get just a little bit suspicious?"
"I guess," Adrien grumbled.
She bit her lip and Adrien knew that face. It was the face she made when she started to panic. "Now that we know, that could make things a lot more dangerous. There's a lot at stake. We can't mess up."
He pulled her in for a hug and rubbed circles on her back. "Hey. Hey. Easy there. We'll handle it the way we always do. Together."
She wrapped her arms around him, holding him so close that he could feel her rapidly beating heart. "Promise?"
"Promise. It's us against the world."
*falls over dead* I did it! One chapter every day for a whole month! Hope you all enjoyed. Thank you all so much for reading! I don't think I'll be participating in Marichat May. I've neglected my other works and it really is time to start wrapping up Miraculous Question.
Once again, a huge thank you for coming and reading! It really does mean a lot to me.
