"Sounds like we passed with flying colours, Kitty." Marinette wrapped her arm around Adrien's waist as they made it back to the bakery. To say they'd always worked well as a team would definitely be the truth, but tonights akuma just didn't stand a chance. They were step by step in sync with each other.

"Another win for the cat and bug team. Boo-yah!" Adrien placed his arm over her shoulders and pulled her closer towards him.

There was something incredibly satisfying being able to do this after a battle. Instead of having to run off with no clue to how the other was feeling. They both knew they were going to enjoy celebrating after each win.

"Ermmm... excuse me! I think you'll find it's bug and cat team." Marinette laughed.

"I'm bigger." Adrien answered back, puffing out his muscles.

"Bug comes before cat in the alphabet, plus it's Ladybug and Chat Noir."

"Adrien comes before Marinette. Plus I'm older." They continued to argue until they reached Marinette's bakery.

Opening the door Adrien blocked the way.

"You need to pay the entrance fee." Adrien smirked at Marinette and she giggled.

"What is it?" She asked.

"One kiss -" he pointed and tapped on his lips "right here."

Marinette stretched up on her toes and placed a kiss on Adrien's lips. This was met with gasps coming from within the bakery. Tom stood with an arm around Sabine's shoulders watching the young couple.

"Welcome back. You two had a good day?" Tom asked with a smile.

"The best." Marinette replied. She held Adrien's hand and walked towards her parents. "Maman, Papa, I hope this is ok." She signalled to herself and Adrien.

"Of course it is sweetheart. You already know we like Adrien and we know he'll treat you kindly." Adrien smiled at Sabine, before guaranteeing nothing would ever happen to Marinette whilst he was around. Marinette smiled knowing it was completely true.

"We're going to carry on up and play some video games in my room." Marinette pulled Adrien towards the stairs located in the back entrance.

"Just wait a second you two." Tom's voice came booming from behind them. They both stilled.

Marinette turned around shyly to face her father. "Yes, Papa."

She saw Tom had a plate full of treats. "Take these up with you."

Letting out a deep sigh she let go of Adrien's hand and took the plate from her father. "You're the best." She exclaimed giving him a quick kiss on the cheek.

Gazing at each other, the two superhero love birds made their way to Marinette's room. Marinette took the plate over to her table as Adrien shut the loft door. The two kwami's flew out onto the open.

"Can we go visit the others in the miracle box please?" Plagg begged.

"Sure. Tikki will show you where the box is." Marinette replied.

Once the kwami's we're out of view Adrien walked towards Marinette looking very much like the cat who'd got the cream. She smiled back. Her heart was beating so fast and her stomach swirling with hundreds of butterflies. He slid his hands around her waist as she pushed hers up onto his chest.

"Am I dreaming?" She whispered loosing herself to his cat like eyes. Leaning down down he took her lips again with his own.

"So Little Miss Guardian, are you taking my Miraculous away from me now I know who you are?" Adrien asked with his eyebrows raised.

"Naa, I think I'll let you keep it. I've grown kind of fond of you." She ruffled his perfectly kept 'Adrien' hair to make him look more Chat like. He looked down at her with a serious expression, she felt so exposed in his eyesight.

"I meant what I said earlier. I really do love you, Marinette. I know we're only young but we've already been through so much together."

She looked up at him before answering.

"I love you too, Kitty." He bent down and kissed her again. "I could do this all night." She sighed.

"Well, if you ever want a late night visit you know I'll willingly oblige. I've been doing it for months anyway." He said still holding her body close to his as he wiggled his eyebrows at her.

"Yeah about that, were you just being nosey?" Marinette asked her practically perfect partner.

"In a way, yeah. You were so much more relaxed round me in my cat form. I became addicted to you, you're like cat-nip for me. We spoke about everything so I'm confused why you never told me about your break up with Luka?"

Marinette sighed.

"To be honest, I wanted to try and forget that it happened. I felt so bad. Straight after we'd broken up he was akumatized again so we had to deal with that and I thought if you knew about it you'd link his akuma to me and then you'd blame me. I've put so many people in danger because of my stupid actions."

"Hey," he lifted her chin up to face him, "don't you ever say that again. I can blame myself for Kagami as much as you can with Luka but at the end of the day it's life and we have to live through it. We both broke up with them for a reason, you can't blame yourself for wanting complete happiness. Plus it was very unlikely we would have been with them forever anyway. We're still so young, circumstances change and I know as soon as we revealed I would have fought long and hard for you to be mine, that's unless I managed to get Marinette first. Which, by the way, was my aim for today."

"So what makes you so certain we will make it?" Marinette asked.

"It's quite easy really, you're the yin to my yang, my soulmate, my other half, the Rachel to my Ross, the Minnie to my Mickey, the Bonnie to my Clyde. You're my better half, the girl who is so deeply embedded into my heart that I don't know how I'm going to go a day without seeing her. If something happened to you, it'd happen to me! We've been thrown into something that has made us grow up ten times quicker than we probably should have." He sighed and looked deeply into her eyes.

"I always think about day you jumped into that T-Rex's mouth I can honestly say my heart stopped beating. Then the same happened the time you wanted to give up Marinette to the akuma, I was so angry at you for throwing one of my best friends into it all. I just didn't realise why the feelings were so strong between both of you. Then I realised we've been placed together to be forever as one until we're no longer Miraculous holders. We will have fights, we will fall out ... geez we've been doing that pretty much from within minutes of meeting each other for the first time, but every time we have came back stronger. We've always come back as one whole and I want to be that whole with you for the rest of my life."

"Wow! What a speech! I love you AdriChat."

"I love you too, Buganette."

"Ok we can't use those nicknames." Marinette laughed, Adrien joined in with her.

"Yeah you're right." He kissed her again on the forehead, then her cheeks, her lips and finally he blew air on her neck. Pushing him off her she tried to gather some of her breath back from laughing so much.

"You really are Chat." She announced.

"Mari, I thought we'd already been through this?" He was laughing as he went to grab a croissant.

"I know, I'm still struggling a little at the moment. It's like some weird television show where two superheroes are in this weird love triangle without realising."

"You mean love square?" Adrien said whilst swallowing his croissant.

"Exactly. The fans would be going mental at us for just not seeing it." Marinette laughed grabbing a macaroon for herself.

"And in the last episode they found out who each other were and lived happily ever after." Adrien closed the gap with Marinette and slid his arms around her waist before pulling her into a passionate kiss. This was filled with the promise to love her forever and she melted into it, making sure she gave the same promise back.

"But we know the story doesn't end there." He continued.

"Miraculous - the older years." They laughed together and kissed once more.

"Ok, so the last thing we needed to do today is to take a picture of how we see each other." Adrien says as he twirled her hair through his fingers.

"Let's do it."
