Chat Noir's POV

"Will you be my girlfriend?" I asked. I was very nervous. I wasn't sure what she would say. I waited anxiously for her to answer.

"I... Uh..." Ladybug started. Then our Miraculouses beeped. 'Aw, come on!' I thought. Of course our Miraculouses have to interrupt Ladybug's answer. Now I would have to wait until the next akuma attack! Ugh! I am so mad! "I'm sorry, Chat. I have to go. I'll answer later. I have to think. This is just...a lot to take in at once. Bug out!"

"Until next time, m'lady," I said with a bow. I watch as she swung away. Then I extended my staff and started towards my own home.

I jumped through the enormous window that led to my room. I left it open so I could easily enter or exit.

I landed on all fours and detransformed. I heard a knock at the door. Plagg hid and Nathalie came in holding a tablet.

"Your schedule for next week," she said as she handed me the tablet. I took it and examined it quickly before setting it on my desk.

"Thanks, Nathalie," I said as she walked out of my room. I started on my homework.

Once I was finished, I had a lot of questions flooding my mind.

What was Ladybug gonna say? How would I keep my identity a secret if she said yes? Would it put us in danger?

My goal was to answer all of those questions before bed. I asked them to myself and answered them.

1. What was Ladybug gonna say? - I honestly don't know what she was gonna say. She looked a little nervous, but I couldn't tell if it was that she wanted to say yes, but wasn't sure how I would react or if she was nervous of how I would react if she said no. I couldn't tell. That upset me to quite an extent.

2. How would I keep my identity a secret if she said yes? - I would probably do what I usually do or I would tell her my identity. Either one could work.

3. Would it put us in danger? - It wouldn't if Hawk Moth didn't find out. I mean, it's just us. It would certainly make things a lot easier for both me and her.

I was glad that I answered those questions. I could finally sleep without a dozen questions dancing in my mind. I would sleep like a cat tonight.

I turned off my light and laid in my bed feeling relatively happy. I still wanted to know Ladybug's answer, but I figured out a couple of things. I felt accomplished.

I closed my eyes and slowly drifted off into dreams...

Chat Noir's Dream

I was standing in a dark, circular room. There was a giant window on the other side of the room. I saw Hawk Moth. He was surrounded by a bunch of butterflies. I saw him holding a dagger. I saw Ladybug standing a few feet away from me in a battle stance. She looked confident, but in the dim light there was, I could see the fear in her eyes. I was afraid to.

Hawk Moth charged me, his dagger extended. I closed my eyes and waited for him to impact. The impact never came. I opened my eyes to see Hawk Moth impale Ladybug in the stomach. She screamed in pain and fell to the ground clutching her stomach.

"NO!!" I yelled. I was so angry at him. I charged Hawk Moth and snatched his Miraculous before he could react. He detransformed. I was shocked at who I saw. 'Father?' I thought. I didn't show my shock. I didn't want him to know that I was his son, Adrien Agreste.

I ran to Ladybug. She was barely breathing. I was mad at my father for hurting her. I held up her head. Ladybug looked up at me.

"Ch-Chat...We... We defeated him... Pound it..." she said. She held her fist up. I repeated her words and bumped her fist with mine. I was surprised by her words. Then I realized that we had defeated Hawk Moth.

"But you...you got hurt..." I said.

"I know, but we still won... That's what matters. Now, you can live a normal life... Besides patrols of course..." Ladybug explained. I guessed she was right. Then I realized that she didn't mention herself.

"No! You are too! Not just me! I won't let you die!" I protested. She gave me a weak smile.

"There are some things you can't prevent..." she said wisely. I agreed with her, but I didn't want to believe it.

"But I can prevent this. Plagg, claws out," I chanted. I detransformed and Ladybug looked at me with wide eyes. My father did too.

"Adrien?" he asked.

"A-Adrien?" she asked. I nodded. I pulled off my shirt and used it to try and stop the bleeding. It took a long time, but I was successful. My father, surprisingly, helped. I guess that he knew he was defeated and that the least he could do was help his son. He used his shirt as well. We got her to the hospital and the nurses took over. We followed them to Ladybug's room.

~Time Skip in the Dream~

The nurses said that Ladybug was able to leave the hospital, so I took her home with me. Father offered for her to stay with us. I didn't have a single problem with that. I decided to ask a question that would change my life either for good or bad.

"Will you be my girlfriend?" I asked.

Then I woke up. I groaned. Even in my dreams, I can't get an answer. I guess that it's starting to get to me. I got up and got myself ready for school.

Marinette's POV

I really needed to think. Chat Noir had asked me to be his girlfriend. I told Alya my secret identity.

Did I want to be Chat's girlfriend? How would I keep my identity a secret if I was to become Chat's girlfriend? What about Adrien?

Was revealing my identity a good idea? Would it put Alya in danger? Would it put me in danger?

It was my goal to answer all of those questions tonight. I asked myself all of those questions and answered them.

1. Was revealing my secret identity a good idea? - I guess it was okay since it's only Alya. She isn't going to tell anyone. It's makes my life a lot easier.

2. Would it put Alya in danger? - It might put Alya in danger, but as long Hawk Moth doesn't know that she knows, she should be fine.

3. Would it put me in danger? - Probably not, unless Hawk Moth found out my identity.

4. How would I keep my identity secret if I was to become Chat's girlfriend? - I would do the same thing I always do or I would tell him my identity. Either way could probably work.

5. What about Adrien? - I guess I would stop liking him. He would probably never love me anyway.

I purposely saved this question for last because I was not sure of the answer yet.

6. Did I want to be Chat's girlfriend? - Hmm... Do I? I also like Adrien. That makes things difficult. I mean, he is my soulmate. I honestly have no idea. Everything just happened so fast. He caught me off guard.

I kept thinking and I finally knew my answer. I would say...
