Adrien's  POV:

      Adrien was surprised Plagg kept encouraging him to transform. It was rather unusual for him. Since when had Plagg not protested about being sucked into his ring? 

       He nodded his head in agreement.  

      "Plagg, claws out!"  He called out.

       Adrien transformed and went over to the window the same one he was sure Ladybug had swung away out into the night.  He leaped out without another thought  in the direction he was sure she had gone.  

     Now to find Ladybug, he thought.

        Ladybug's POV:

         Ladybug landed on the roof to the Bougerious hotel. She knew that Chole no longer lived her.  She thought it was a shame since the girl claimed at one point she was Ladybug's biggest fan.  Well, she might as well figure out what to do with the peacock miraculous she had discovered.

           She pondered this as someone landed right beside her. She looked up to see who it was and found herself face to face with her partner, Chat Noir.

            "Chat, y-you a-are b-back," She stuttered. She wonders what brought that on since she used to stutter around Adrien Agreste. She thought it strange she should stutter around Chat after years of not seeing him.

            "Yes, so I am," Chat answered.

            "Chat, where have you been?" She yells at him and gives a slow, slap across the face.

              Ladybug sees the tears form in his eyes and fells bad about her reaction to his presence.

         Chat's  POV:

         "Bugaboo, we have not seen each other in years.  I can explain," Chat began.

            He heard her sobs as he tried to tell her what all happened to him over the cours of four whole years. He felt horrible for being away from her for so long. Not that he had a choice in the matter, but boy how he missed her.

            Chat held her close and let her tears stick to his suit.  

            "Look, I was out of town for the last four years.  I would have explained sooner, but how could I?  It is not I could contact you outside the suit.  Besides, you never gave us a chance one we took care of Hawkmoth,"  Chat pointed out.

           Ladybug's  POV:

             "How was I supposed to Chat?  There were people everywhere once Hawkmoth was unmasked and arrested. I could not risk everyone else finding out who I am behind this spandex mask,"  Ladybug blurted out.

         She  continued to let him hold her and thought all this time, I loved him and never knew it.

           "Chat, I have the miraculous Mayra used to use,"  She told him.

            
         Chat's POV:

     Chat's eyes felt bigger than normal somehow at the announcement. His jaw dropped as he said, "Wow, that is amazing!  It just so happens I found the moth miraculous, and..." 

        "Give it to me, Chanton!  I am the guardian now," Ladybug pointed out the obvious.

       He  pulled out the box and held it out to her.  "Here, take it."

        Chat watched her stuff it inside her yoyo. He thought is that where she keeps the miraculous she supposedly found. He hated to doubt her, but how could he not?  It was not like she trusted him all the time.  

          Ladybug's  POV:

           Ladybug smiled  now that both miraculous were in safe hands once more.  

        "Listen, I have to put these away, but I will be back soon!" Ladybug explained.

         Chat's POV:

         "I will hold you too it, m'lady," Chat mentioned.

         He  glanced at her closely as she used the yoyo to leave. He wished she was not always going.  It was almost like she did not want anything to do with him.  This was silly though because she was his best friend, right?

           Ladybug's  POV:

             Ladybug took a different route home than usual so Chat could  not find his way to her place if he tried.  She lived in a two story house more than enough space for someone who lived by herself.  She felt like it made it nicer.  This way she had room for guests and maybe even a future husband.

            She blushed as she detransformed unsure where that last thought came from anyway.

        Marinette's  POV:

             Marinette smiled as she used the key to open the box.  Yes, she had mastered it so well she could make it open without being transformed. For that matter, she rarely ever used the key anymore.  It seemed to let her into it without it most of the time.  

        She removed the miraculous and slide them into their proper places. Then, did the same with boxes.  She sealed them all within the safety of the bigger box. She closed it and locked it. Next, she hide it in a special place only she knew about as in even Tikki was not aware of its whereabouts.

         Marinette returned to her room and saw Tikki shake her head in disapproval.  

     "Tikki, what is wrong? Why do you look at me this way?"  Marinette asked.

           Tikki's  POV:

        "Marinette  it is time you either accepted Chat's feelings, or  let him leave you forever,"  Tikki responded.

         She knew that deep down Chat loved Ladybug both as the hero and in her civilian form as  Marinette. She also, knew Marinette appeared to be unsure as to her feelings for her partner.

        She felt bad she could not just tell her that Adrien was Chat or vice-versa. It sure would have made things easier.  The rules  never allowed it and she was not about to go against the rules.

       Not even for her two most favorite people in many forms whom she shipped with all her heart.

       Marinette's POV:

       Marinette looked at her kwami in sheer astonishment. She did  not want to loose Chat forever.  The thing was she did not how to accept his feelings either. She was afraid.

        Afraid he would take one look at her untransformed and regret all the years fighting alongside her.  Yet, she knew as silly as it was, she was better off letting him see her and risk him leaving afterwards then loose him because she rejected him.

      "Tikki, you are right, I mean I do love Adrien, but Chat was there for me so many times when Adrien was not.  Besides, I love Chat too," Marinette admitted. She blushed.

        Marinette, knew she better hurry. She could spare another day without him knowing the truth. 

      "Tikki, spots on!" She called out the familiar words.

      She transformed once again.

       Chat Noir's  POV:

         Chat sat on the roof to the hotel that was abandoned.  He was not sure what had become of the occupants, but was not sure he wanted the answers. He sighed when he thought she was not coming back.  

      He heard a loud noise followed by a groan as someone dropped down next to him. He glance towards his right and saw her.

       "Ladybug, I thought you would not return," Chat stated.

       "Ch-Chat, I will a-always come b-back to y-you," Ladybug muttered.

     Chat thought it adorable how flustered she was around him. He wondered who it was she reminded him of right now.

        Ladybug's POV:

     "Chat, what brought you back after so much time?" Ladybug questioned.

      "I hopped you would be here, and it turns out I was right," Chat answered.

         Ladybug felt her heart flutter at his words. She knew it confirmed her love for him. She slowly confessed, "Ch-Chat, I missed y-you. I mean it because I l-love you."

      She saw him blush and knew he still cared for her. The question was how much.

      Chat's  POV:

       Chat leaned in and kissed her. It was a slow, soft kiss on the lips. He heard her sigh, so he kissed her again. Then, he let go and looked into her familiar bluebell eyes. The eyes he felt drawn to ever since...

    He gasped as he had a flashback.

    "Chat's  flashback..."

        Chat  recalled how he was out fighting a villain when out of now where this cute girl in a ladybug suit fell and bumped into him. He did not mind because she was so beautiful. It was then, he knew he loved her.

     He also remembered how  a few weeks later, he met Marinette while in his civilian form. Now he knew was way different than Ladybug, but he liked her too. He never would admit it, but he loved her as well.

     Chat reflected back to the day, Weredad attacked Marinette. He did all he could to help his princess. Later, she was in danger when other villains tried to get to her, Chamelon, and so on. He did his best to protect her every time.

      End of flashback...

      "I love you too, m'lady," Chat told her.
