Description: Alya and Nino try to get Adrien together with Marinette. The trouble is he already has a girlfriend. Who is she?

     Read to find out.

     Alyno's  POV:

     "Say, Nino, we need to get Adrien to ask out Marinette."

    "Oh, and why is that Alya?"

      "He is practically smitten with her but needs help to admit it."

        "Well, in that case, count me in, dudette."

       Adrien's POV:
          "Count you in on what?"

           "Adrien, dude I did not know you were standing there."

         "Well, you were busy talking to Alya."

                Adrien heads to class.  The entire time he is busy texting someone.

            Nino tries to check Adrien's phone to see who Adrien is texting but still cannot see it.

                 Adrien occasionally looks up to jot down notes as Ms. Bustier teaches the lesson.

      Narrator's  POV:

    After school, the bell rang, and everyone was dismissed for the day.

              Adrien walks over to the mysterious new girl and hugs her.

         Alya and Nino give him glares. Marinette runs off in tears. She cannot believe her crush is with someone else.

          Nino's POV:

        "Man, that is so not cool."

        "Marinette is sweet on you and you do this."

         "What? Marinette is into me?" Adrien asks surprised.

          "Yes, she has been for years."

            "I did not mean to hurt her."

         "Well, you just did."

        Alya's  POV:
       "How dare you Agreste!"

       She yells at him and slaps him.  "It is less than you deserve for hurting my best friend."

         Adrien's  POV:
            He stands there stunned.  He never knew Marinette liked him.

           He certainly never meant to hurt her. However, he does have a girlfriend and today she seemed down so he hugged her to cheer her up.  He was right as she found out her grandfather whom she was close to died.

         "I am so sorry about your grandfather, Sylvia."

            "I am sorry too, Adrien,"  Slyvia said.

         "There is nothing for you to apologize about dear."

         "Yes, there is. I lied to you, I have been this entire time. See I never even met Ladybug.  Plus, I am badly ill and might die soon."

           Sylvia's POV:

          She hates it took her so long to tell him the truth.

        She cannot keep on lying to him. Not when Adrien is her boyfriend and the best thing that ever happened to her.

       She loves him.

         Adrien's  POV:
            He cries.  He hugs her more.

          "I love you."

          "I love you, too." 

       Marinette's POV:

       She cannot believe it.

          Why did not he tell her?   Did he really think that low of her that he did not think she could handle it?  

            She might be jealous he was with someone else, but if he was happy that was all that mattered right?

            Marinette sent Adrien a text to congratulate him on his girlfriend.

               Adrien sent this text back...

                Thanks, Marinette that means a lot to me.

                  I am sorry, I did not tell you. I thought you already knew about me and Slyvia.

                    We met on one of my out-of-town photoshoots and we clicked.

             Marinette's  text

             Is she a model too?  Is that why you like her?

            Adrine's  text

             No, she is a regular girl.

           Marinette's text

            I see. Well, tell Sylvia she is blessed.

            Adrien, I have always loved you and probably always will, but if Sylvia makes you happy I will not stand in your way.

     Later that evening, while on patrol ladybug sees Chat.

   Ladybug's POV:

  She smiles a weak smile at him.

      "Bugaboo, are you okay?"

     "Not exactly."

    "Sorry to hear it."

     "Chat, it is just I found out today my crush already has a girlfriend and it complicates things. I want to be happy for him, but it is hard."

          "Ladybug, I am sure you will find someone."

          "Oh, so you already have a girlfriend too, huh?"

          "Yes, and she means everything to me."

         "Well, good for you then, Chaton."

          Chat's POV:

         " Ladybug, I mean it. You are a special, kind, and lovely person."

        " I  am sure one day you will find someone too, Marinette."

            He saw Ladybug's face fill with tears as it dawned on her for the first time that Chat and Adrien were the same boy.

         Ladybug's POV:

  "Chat, you are him.  You are Adrien!"

     "I got to go."

    Chat hugs her bye.

    Ladybug hugs him in return.

   Chat heads home and sighs.  What is to do now?  He knows who the girl is behind the mask, but he cannot be with her because he already has Sylvia and he loves her.

     Ladybug arrives home confused. What is she to do now that she knows Adrien is Chat?  Let alone, now that he has a girlfriend.  

          Perhaps, one day, she will move on, but today is not that day.

  the end...

 until the next one-shot story,

    bye-bye, little owlets!

  Summer out!
