Marinette looked at Cat Noir in amazement, unable to combine the simplest words in any logical sentence. Finally, she spoke:

"But... How... How did you know?"

"I began to think about it after Valentine's Day. You said something that directed me to a classmate. And then I started to get to know you better and I noticed more and more similarities. And then... Then I recognised your handwriting from the va..." he stopped suddenly, because he almost blurted out about Valentine card and their presentation for the chemistry lesson. On the other hand, what was wrong with her knowing his identity? He'd already known hers. And yet... He wanted her to guess. As he had guessed her identity.

"My handwriting?" she spotted. "How you could know my hand... writing..." her voice faded when she started realising what she had just heard.

A classmate? They were classmates? That meant not so many boys. Actually, everyone could know her handwriting. But Cat Noir had said something about recognising her handwriting. From something started from "va..." Va... Va what?! And how had he got to know her better? She didn't spend time with Cat Noir as Marinette. The only boy with whom she spent more time lately was... Adrien. Adrien, whom she had sent a Valentine card. And Valentine card started from "va...". She remembered now the moment when Adrien had seen her calligraphy on the poster. Suddenly it occurred to her that in fact he'd acted a bit bizarre then. Actually, he'd been acting weirdly in her company since then. Everything fitted.

"No. You can't be..." she whispered staring at him in astonishment.

"Why?"

"Because it would be the most tangled story in the world!" she got angry, and he jumped up from the chair surprised. He didn't expect such a reaction.

"But why?"

"Oh, you really don't get it?! Say you're not him! Otherwise I will tear you to pieces!"

"Marinette... But I don't understand."

"Oh, I'll explain that!" She brought her face close to his face, squinting. "Do you know, what I had to go through to fall out of love with you and fall in love with you? Wow, this sentence doesn't even make sense!" She exclaimed, making a move as if she wanted to pull her hair out. "Just tell me you're not him!"

"Whom?" he asked, trying not to laugh. That would be his suicide.

"Adrien Agreste..." she drawled still looking at him.

"What am I supposed to do now?"

"Deny!"

"I..." he hesitated. "I can't..."

And before she could say or do anything, he put his arms around her and kissed her. He knew that his kisses worked wonders, so even if she wanted to kill him, he would postpone this sentence for a while.

"It's not fair..." she murmured after a moment.

"What?"

"You use your magical kisses against me."

"They are not magical because they're mine. I've already told you, Marinette. Only true love kisses are magical."

"Ooooh..." she muttered and suddenly she began laughing.

"And now you got me."

"Oh, Kitty!" she stammered still laughing. "I think I've solved your Valentine riddle!"

"There was a Valentine riddle?"

"I know why my kiss worked that day! I was in love with you."

"But you didn't know that was me."

"Actually, I still don't have any proof of that it is you." She muttered.

"You risk an unpleasant contact with my kwami..." Cat Noir replied. "Plagg isn't the most charming creature..."

"I like him!" Tikki cut in.

"Tikki!" Marinette exclaimed indignantly.

"What? The cat's out of the bag." Tikki replied in innocent tone.

"That should be my part." Cat Noir laughed. "But OK... So be it. Plagg, claws in."

A moment later, Adrien was standing in front of Marinette, while Plagg approached to his head with a wry expression and murmured:

"That should be me, who would tear you to pieces for these 'nice' words about me. I'm not the most charming creature? How you don't know me at all, kid..."

But neither Marinette nor Adrien paid the slightest attention to him. They stood face to face, without taking their eyes off each other.

"So? Will it hurt very much?" Adrien finally asked with a shy smile.

"I'm just wondering." she murmured. "Damn, it's really you..."

"I can't deny..."

"Couldn't you tell me?" She sighed, rolling her eyes. "That would make a lot of things much easier. And a long time ago."

"You didn't let me tell you." He remembered.

"Right. I must have been stupid. I should let you tell me."

"So..." he hesitated. "You don't love me anymore?"

"Huh, good question. I've been so confused... In one moment, I thought I didn't love you anymore but Cat Noir, and then you did something like... Uhm... I couldn't handle it at all."

"You don't have to choose anymore." He grinned.

"Well, you're right..." she smiled back. "I don't know if Adrien's kisses are also magical."

"I'll say it again. They aren't magical because they're mine. Only..."

"...True love kisses are magical." they finished together and laughed loudly.

And then Adrien touched Marinette's cheek, leaned over and whispered:

"Damn, I get the jitters."

"Scared kitty..." she whispered and kissed him.

Her kisses were also magical...
