Description

The story picks up with Marinette's perspective, but some of Adrien's perspective will be included in it as well.

Marinette's POV:

   I hear Alya tease me about the blonde I saw in the library.

  It happened to be after I checked out the book about cats.

  I did not know he heard her until he turned and looked at me.

    It was awkward, especially when Alya said, "So I see you have met Adrien."

   "Adrien, who?"

    "Marinette, I know you have met Nino's best friend, Adrien."

    "Oh, so that is A-Adrien."

    "Yes, and it seems you have a crush on him, girl."

        I heard Adrien gasp.       

       I waited til we left the library.

      "Alya, I just met the guy."

     "By the way he looks at you, I can see it is obvious he likes you too."

       I shook my head.

      I sighed as I went to class.

      I saw him seated beside Nino.

        I tried to listen to the lesson, but the entire time thought about a certain cute blonde in the seat in front of me.

         After school, I  ran home and did not stop to say a word to anyone.

        I  heard a funny noise in my room. 

       I searched until I found it.

It was a ladybug, but how did it get here?

    I gasped when I saw a bright pink light surround the insect.

     Strange, what did it mean?

    "Hi, Marinette!  I am Tikki!"

   The insect talks, too.

      I was so frightened I stood on the desk chair in my room and screamed, "Ah!"

      After I stopped screaming, I listened to what this strange creature Tikki had to tell me.

       I was chosen to be a hero.

     "Me a hero?"

       Adrien's  POV:

        I saw Marinette come into the room.

        I  watched her sit in the row behind me next to Alya.

        I was right Marinette and Alya are best friends.

        I  tried to listen to the lesson but was distracted.

       I had a lot on my mind lately.

      First, it was almost my mom's birthday.

   Then, I met Marinette, the shy yet sweet girl in the library.

     I felt drawn to her but would not admit it.

     We only just met.

     After school, I saw Marinette runoff.  

    I  watched her go.

   I wished she would take me with her.

   Huh, what is the matter with me?

     I went home.

    I saw the cat from earlier inside my room.

  How had it gotten inside?

 Suddenly, t cat was surrounded by a green light.

  Then, it spoke, "Hi, Adrien, I am Plagg, the kwami of destruction."

  The strange creature explained all the details to me.

   Wow, I have been chosen to be a hero.

    "Wow, count me in, Plagg!"

     I heard some screams.

  I put on the ring.

  "Plagg, claws out!"

When I arrived at the scene, a girl crashed into me.

  I saw she wore a red suit with black spots on it.

   "Hey, watermelon girl."

    "Hey, insane boy."

   I  felt something I had not in years.

  What was it?

What did it all mean?

  I  helped her fight the villain.

    "So, see you again soon, watermelon girl?"

  "In your dreams, Chat Noir."

   I watched her go.

  "Wow, she is amazing! "

   I went to bed thinking about my new partner, ladybug.

     The next morning, I noticed Marinette arrived late to school like I did.

    What is with her being here at the same time as me?   

   I shook my head.   

  The new villain came to the school.

My classmates begin to scatter.

I  saw Marinette and pushed her out of the way.

"Marinette, run!"

I  watched her go.

I ran into the empty teacher's area and transformed.

I saw my helper, ladybug arrive.

"Good to see you, ladybug."

"Same here, Chat Noir."

After the battle, I looked around for Marinette.

I hoped she was safe.

Marinette's  POV:

I  could not tell Adrien my secret.

 I sighed.

Ladybug felt drawn to Chat Noir, but  I loved Adrien.

Time skip...

Six months later, I fought alongside Chat Noir again.      I  sighed.

  Six years later, I wondered, What was  I to Chat Noir, let alone Adrien?

If I was honest, I was worried Adrien would not look at me the same if he knew.

The thought made me feel sad. Somehow we had gotten closer over the years.

Third Person's  POV:

  I  looked for him.

Where did Adrien go?

I could not find him.

I looked for Marinette.

Where did she go?

I could not find her.
 

"Adrien, dude, go over there."

  Nino pushed me in the direction of the fountain.

  "Marinette, over there, girl."

Alya pushed me in the direction of the fountain.

I looked up and saw her.

I looked up and saw him.  

"Marinette?"

"Adrien?"

I did not care what anyone thought, I wrapped my arms around her.

 I felt her sob as she hugged me back.

I heard him sob.

"Don't cry, Adrien."

"Same for you, Marinette."

I felt her breath near me as she leaned in close.

I did the same.

Our lips almost touched.

Why was this so familiar?

  I  muttered, "M-Marinette, are you available?"

  "Y-yes, A-Adrien."

I smiled, and I lifted her chin.

"Adrien?"

I loved the sound of my name on her lips.

I could not kiss her.

Not when I felt part of my heart still belonged to Ladybug.

I  saw him stop.

I knew it was too good to be true.

Marinette's POV:

I pulled out of his embrace.

"Do not tell me, You love someone else?"

I heard the hurt in her voice.  Adrien thought.

"I am sorry, Marinette."

"Please, go. Adrien, just go to her."

I  turned away so he could not see me cry again.

I  felt sad. I thought perhaps he could love me.

I should have known he would never love me.

Adrien's  POV:
   I ran off.

I felt so bad.

How could I hurt her?

I felt conflicted.

I was in love with ladybug.

So, why then did I almost kiss, Marinette?

Why did I hear the pain in her voice?

I  sat on the bridge unsure how to process it all.

Marinette's  POV:
 I let him go.

How could I expect him to stay?
 

I felt conflicted. I was in love with Adrien.

Why then, did I almost kiss Chat Noir in the past?

Why did I see the pain in both Adrien's eyes and Chat's?

I sat under a tree unsure how to process it all.

Adrien's  POV:

Adrien shook his head.

If   I loved Ladybug  I would not have almost kissed Marinette.

I knew then, what I denied for years.

I love Marinette.

Marinette's  POV:
Marinette shook her head if  I loved Adrien then why did I almost kiss Chat in the past?

Why did it hurt so much to have Adrien push her away?

I love Adrien, but I also love Chat.

Adrien's POV:
  I saw the akuma fly toward the tree.

The one I recalled Marinette said she sat to think under sometimes.

"No!"

I ran after it.

I saw it disappear when Marinette reached out and touched it.

Could it be?

I ran to her.

"Marinette, I am sorry."

I  lifted her chin again. This time I smiled.

I smiled more than I had in years.

I smiled at her.

I  heard her mutter, "Adrien, I love you."

I kissed her. I felt her kiss me back slowly on the lips.

As our lips touched, I knew one thing was for sure, I would never lose my smile again.

The end...
