The True you
Marinette's POV
"Ahhh! Tikki I'm gonna be late for school again!" Exclaimed Marinette while frantically running around her room to get her things.
"Calm down Marinette." The little kwami said in a soothing voice. "Its Saturday. You don't have school."
Marinette stopped abruptly. She hesitated a moment to process what Tikki have said. She simply sighed and plopped on her bed. "You could have told me sooner Tikki. I was really worried."
"I'm sorry Marinette. Its just that you were so busy running and preparing that I had to get your attention first." Tikki sat down on Marinette's desk looking at her with those big blue innocent eyes.
"Ohh, I can't stay mad at a cutie like you."
"Hey!" Tikki pouted.
Marinette simply chuckled and laid down on her bed. She began to think about what she was going to do for the rest of the day. Hmmm, she thought. I could go to Alya place and hang out there.
Alya was her best friend other than Tikki of course and they would tell each other everything. Well almost everthing. She couldn't tell her that she was ladybug, the super heroine of Paris and that she had a red kwami, Tikki, that helps her transform. Although she couldn't tell Alya about her heroine self, they would usually talk about Marinette's major crush on a boy named Adrien. Alya was normally the one to encourage her to talk to him but would usually end in disaster because of her stuttering.
Marinette kept thinking about what she was about to do until she heard her mom calling her downstairs for breakfast. I'll just go to the park later and sketch for a bit, she thought. She silently called for Tikki to hide in her purse then went down to eat.
Adrien's POV
"C'mon kid. I'm hungry! Feed me!" Plagg whined.
"You do nothing but eat! And I always have to carry you making me smell anything but rotten fish." Adrien replied. He handed his black kwami's favorite food, a block of Camembert.
"Yes it doesn't smell good but it is delicious!" Plagg munched on his cheese.
Adrien looked at his friend Alya's ladyblog dedicated to the super heroine, Ladybug. He sighed dejectedly. He loved Ladybug and wished that he could tell her that he was Chat Noir, her partner. He wished to know who was under that mask but he had to respect her wishes on keeping it a secret. He even tried begging her to tell him who she truly was.
"C'mon Adrien. I know that look. You're thinking about Ladybug again aren't you. Forget it cheese is much better." Plagg turned his head in disgust.
"First, Ladybug is a thousand times better than your cheese."
"That's a lie nothing is better than cheese!" Plagg yelled.
"No it's not. She even smells better."
Plagg turned himself around and went on with eating his stinky cheese.
Just then there was a knock on his door and Plagg quickly hid under his desk. Nathalie opened the door while holding a clipboard. She said, " Here Adrien. You will have a photoshoot at the park a few minutes later at the afternoon. Then you can have the rest of the day off." And with that, she left the room.
Adrien could not believe what he just heard. A day off! Finally he could spend a day with his friends! But first, he thought the photoshoot. He took all his things and called Plagg. He hid him under his outer shirt and ran off to his photoshoot.
Marinette's POV
Finally I'm done with helping my parents with the bakery. Marinette stepped out of the bakery then the cold hit her.
"Its a bit chilly, don't you think Tikki?"
"C'mon Marinette," the kwami popped her head out of the purse. "Its the fall! Its supposed to turn colder. And just imagine it will be winter soon! Ice skating, snowball fight and building snowmen!"
"That reminds me Tikki, I think I know what my next design is gonna be!"
"What is it?" Tikki said cheerfully.
"A winter outfit for you! I don't want you to get a cold."
"Well by knowing you I'm sure it will be beautiful!" Marinette smiled at her little friend. She sat on a park bench and began sketching. Little did she know that her crush was just across the park.
Adrien's POV
"Yes! Yes! Show me that beautiful smile of yours, eh?" The photographer yelled. "Yes! Okay now! That enough for today!"
Adrien stretched his arms and yawned. He was tired from his photoshoot and was still deciding what to do next. He then saw a familiar friend across the park buried her head with her work.
He walked up to her and said, "Hi Marinette!"
Marinette yelped and jumped a little, her notebook falling to the ground. "Ohhh..... I.... H-hey..I mean... H-hi Adrien!" She stuttered.
Adrien laughed at his classmate's actions. He picked up her book that lay in the ground and saw what she was working.
Marinette's POV (SORRY FOR ALWAYS CHANGING)
She saw as her classmate pick up her sketching pad. She remembered that she drew a picture of Tikki and panicked. She quickly ripped the book from Adrien's hands.
"Hey what was that in notebook?" Adrien suspiciously asked.
"Uhhh..... Nothing! I umm....." Marinette quickly racked her brain for an excuse. "IhadadreamlastnightaboutaweirdanimalbutitwassocutesoIdecidedtodrawapictureofit." Marinette quickly said.
Adrien raised an eyebrow.
"Ahh! Look at the time!", Marinette said but though she didn't have a watch, " My parents need help in the bakery. So bye!" She quickly left leaving a very confused Adrien behind.
Marinette ran to her parents bakery and quickly up to her room. She sat on her chaise exhausted and opened her purse. "That was a close one Tikki. My identity almost was revealed. And to Adrien to all of people!"
"Calm down Marinette! I'm sure everything is gonna be okay." Her companion soothed her.
"But Tikki, I can't! I had a moment of panic there. Adrien could have found out that I am Ladybug! I told you Tikki! I am a total klutz from day one! I don't even know how to face him....." Marinette faltered at the sight of her kwami's wide expression. She slowly turned around to see Adrien with a shocked expression.
Adrien's POV
Adrien quickly informed Nathalie that he was going to his friend's house then ran after Marinette.
He followed her to her parents' bakery and slowly entered. There he was greeted by Marinette's mom, Sabine. "Hello dear. What would you like to order?"
"Oh, no thanks ma'am. Actually I came to see Marinette."
"Okay then, there are a lot of customers so you could just go upstairs. She in her bedroom."
Adrien quickly thanked her and went upstairs. He walked up the stairs quietly then paused when he heard Marinette talking to someone.
He debated whether or not to disturb her, then just decided to go inside. He slowly opened the trapdoor and smiled when he saw lots of pictures of him taped to her wall. She must be a fan, he thought. Just then a flash of red caught his eye. He saw Marinette on her chaise, with her back turned on him and was talking to a floating red object. No, he thought, not an object. Its a kwami! His face turned to a surprise. No way! She's Ladybug! It couldn't be! He then hesitated for a moment and began to connect the dots. He mentally slapped himself for not realizing this sooner. Marinette had the same eyes, smile and hair as Ladybug. Idiot! He mentally scolded himself.
The little red kwami turned to him and a wide expression covered her face. Marinette faltered and turned around then having the same expression but said nothing.
Adrien broke the silence by quietly saying, "Ladybug"
Marinette quickly hid Tikki behind her back and said, "What?! What makes you say that!"
"You don't have to lie anymore Marinette. I know your secret."
"No you don't! I'm not Ladybug!" Marinette shouted while on the verge of tears. She brought her knees to her chest and buried her head between them then began sobbing.
"Marinette! Wait! Don't cry. Please I don't....I mean... I didn't.....I'm sorry if I made you cry Marinette. I didn't mean to find out your identity." Adrien desperately said trying to make the girl feel better. "I don't want to hurt you."
Her kwami flew up to her master's face and soothed her. "Its okay Marinette. Everything is going to be okay." She said with a small petite voice.
"I don't know anymore Tikki." She said between sobs, not even daring to look up. Tikki sat on top of her head and hugged her, well head.
"Wait! I know what we can do. Let's make it even. So since you told your secret, I'll tell you mine. Plagg?"
Plagg flew out of Adrien outer shirt pocket and faced Marinette. "Big deal!" The black kwami yelled. "Your identity was revealed. Chat Noir revealed his too you know!"
Marinette froze at the sound of Plagg's voice and looked up.
Marinette's POV
Marinette was stunned to see another kwami sitting on Adrien's shoulder. It looked like black cat with green eyes. She then turned to Adrien who gave her one of his famous smirks.
"Don't worry m'lady, your secret is safe from me. Cat's honor."
Marinette internally groaned but still too shocked to give a reply.
Adrien leaned in closer to Marinette that their noses were an inch apart. "What is that Bugaboo? Cat got your tongue?"
Marinette on the other hand was screaming internally. She pushed his face away by booping his nose with her finger. "Nah-ah, kitty too fast don't you think?"
"Meowch princess, that is no way to talk to your knight in shining armor."
"And what makes you think that you're my knight in shining armor?"
Adrien smirked. "Because your pictures says otherwise." He pointed to her posters on the wall.
Marinette's face turned crimson as she saw her pictures. Oh no! She thought. He is going to get me for months about this and... Oh no! No no no no! I my gosh I kissed him!
"This is the worst day ever!" She buried her face in her hands.
"No Marinette! This is the best day ever!" Her kwami said enthusiastically. "You have a major crush on Adrien remember so that means-" Marinette quickly covered Tikki's mouth to prevent her from saying anything else. Adrien smirk turned into a huge grin while Plagg was laughing so hard.
"Umm.... What Tikki meant to say was-" Marinette was disrupted when Adrien pulled her into a kiss. She was shocked at first then eventually melted to the kiss.
"Well finally, my lady loves me back."
Hope you like it. Its my second story in fact. The first one was not good so I probably will erase it.
