"Chat! Stop!" Before she knew it, Marinette found herself pushing Chat Noir away from her face.

"What are you doing!?" She asked, fury evident in her voice. He smiled. He kept smiling to a point where it was annoying to look at. Marinette sighed. "Chat, I told you I can't... we can't." She finally said. Chat played around with her hand. "I know, M'lady. No one loves a stray cat like me." He pouted. Marinette put a hand around his neck, while holding the other in his.

"I'm sorry kitt- CHAT!"

She had never expected what he did next. The superhero pulled his Purrincess back to him again, causing her to fall face-flat into his well defined chest. She felt a spandex (or leather or boyfriend material or... idk anymore.) covered hand drawing circles along her arms. The blunette laughed. "Chat...please!" She managed to say in between her giggles.
"Not until you give this kitty a kiss, M'lady."

Marinette gasped. The tickling had stopped. She moved away from him. "This is...wrong." She spoke, looking away from him.

"Wrong? How is it wrong, Bugaboo?"

"Stop calling me that! We're just friends, okay?" She hesitated.

"Too bad you said that. I was beginning to think we were something more." He gave his usual always-lukin-hot smirk.

"We're clearly NOT more, Chat Noir!"

"Awww, I wish I was this Adrien guy right now. My Bugaboo doesn't even want me around, thanks to him!"

Again, Chat felt a third voice interrupt the conversation. "Kid, you're messing with yourself. Stop."

Marinette observed the flirty boy in front of her. He was acting really weird all of a sudden. He looked like he was speaking to someone in his head. "Oh well, must be his kwami." She thought. Chat was lost in thought too, until he heard his Purrincess speak again. "Chat, you're smiling like an idiot right now."

"Uh, yeah. I mean, where were we?"

Marinette facepalmed. "All I'm saying is that we can't be more than friends, kitty!"

"Here we go again. I still don't get what's so good about this Agreste boy!"

"Adrien is tons more legit than you, you know! I tried telling you that I'm not into you but you're making it more difficult now!" She half yelled, standing up for her crush.

"Purrincess, you must really love him if you defended him like that." He chuckled so hard that he began choking. "I don't wish to have this conversation, Chat. Not now, not ever. You need some rest. Meanwhile, I'll figure out something to fight this akuma."

Chat was now grinning widely, almost like a Cheshire Cat.
"What's so funny, Chat Noir? You're being a creep right now."

"Says the one who keeps pictures of her crush all across her room."

She felt her cheeks heat up. "Aww, look at you blush, Purrinces-"

"That's it, kitty!" She attempted to leave the bed.

"Woah there, LB! Don't leave, the fun has just started!" He held her hand tight in his.

"Why are you acting so odd? Is it me or has Predicta really knocked your brains out?"

Chat heard the wheezy voice again. "Hey kid, stop kidding around. Your transformation's about to wear off soon." He then heard his ring beep. He had five minutes. That didn't matter to him at all. In fact, this is the first time he wanted the beeping to be over with. The blunette staring at him was definitely falling head-over-heels for his imperfect self. She had seen the Adrien behind the fake smiles he wore in his photoshoots. She had wanted to help him when everyone around him moulded him into what he wasn't.

"Uh...kitty? Your transformation's about to wear off soon."

"Yeah, you said that before. Oh wait, you didn't. That was Plagg." He mumbled absentmindedly.

"Huh? Y-You're going to do it?" She looked at him with concern.

"I may not be purrfect, but I guess it's only fair that you know who I am." He winked at her.

He raised himself up from the bed and stood in front of her. "I have a feeling you won't regret this, M'lady." He said with a smirk as he took one more glance at his black ring. The last beep was heard. A flash of green light filled the little bedroom. Marinette covered her eyes with her hands. She had the shock of her life when she opened them. The flirty black cat was.....Adrien Agreste!? Her longtime crush!?

"A-Adrien!?" Her voice trembled. She wanted to scream out loud but nothing came out of her weak lips. Her face was becoming more and more red as the minutes passed by. Almost as red as her kwami. "Oh my god! It's him! Adrien! It's ADRIEN!!!" She kept repeating that in her mind just to make sure that registered in her memory. Marinette couldn't think at all and when she finally began to process what she was seeing, memories flooded in her head.

Her mind raced back to seeing Adrien for the first time, falling into Chat Noir when they first met, them fighting akumas together, the moment she realised she fell in love with the boy who lend her an umbrella, Chat Noir flirting with her and her rejecting him every time. (I want all these scenes to be played in the real identity reveal with the background music "In The Rain"....it would be Purrfect! 😭)

OH MY GOD! I've rejected Adrien! Even now..." she felt her breathing stop. Her consciousness held onto one tiny memory now. One where she had kissed Chat while fighting Dark Cupid. She gasped at the thought. "No. Way. Could it really be...Adrien!?"

Marinette sat up straight in her bed and blinked a few times. Nothing changed. She rubbed her eyes, pinched herself and even slapped her own face to tell her it was just a dream...or a nightmare.

It was still the same blonde boy who stood where Chat Noir was before. "No way, this is some joke! Someone must be playing with my mind. Adrien can't be Chat Noir! He just can't."

"Fur-give me, Purr-incess! Purr-haps mew pre-furred me opurr Chat. Don't mew see we purr both pawsome?"

Marinette stared in horror. Silence again.

"Well...?" Adrien finally spoke, unsure of her reaction.

"AHHHHHHHHH, ohmygodyou'reChatNoir!We'vefoughttogether!I'verejectedyou!I'vekissedyou!I-I'm s-so sorry!" She vented out all at once that Adrien could hardly make out what she's saying.

"I thought you said you WEREN'T perfect in your civilian form!" She looked at him accusingly but then realised he was Adrien and immediately hid her cherry-red face in her knees.

"You kissed me?"

"What!? When? I don't know what you're talking about, hehe. I mean....maybe?" Marinette blurted out the most random answers.

Adrien walked towards her and cuddled her in his arms. He whispered in her dark hair, "Thank you, Marinette, for accepting me as I am."

She looked up into his emerald eyes. "Adrien, I-I'm sorry for whatever I said before." He didn't say anything. He kept looking through her sapphire blue eyes. He saw something in them. Something that he thought he had lost forever. Her calm, beautiful eyes reminded him of his mother. He saw concern, kindness and...love? Things he thought would never exist in his life.

Marinette was everything he had missed out. He lowered his head so that their faces were only inches apart. Adrien took a glimpse of her soft lips before closing in the space between them. He chuckled as Marinette grasped his collar in shock. The kiss was soft but one that lasted long until they had to finally pull away for breath. They felt like they were quenching some kind of thirst after being dried up for so many years. (I. Have. No. Idea. What. A. Kiss. Feels. Like. 😅)

Adrien cupped her face in his hands. He could feel her heart racing.

"We're Miraculous, M'lady. With or without the mask."

•••

Aaannnd they lived happily ever after.

Nah, just kiddin. I don't know if I should continue this story though. I think it's getting pretty boring already. I've been really busy with studies, so I think it would be better if you guys tell me whether to stop this or not.

Have a great day or night. Love ya!

Claws in!
