"So are you still mad at her?"Nino asked his friends as he kept glancing towards Marinete direction.

"No, we settled that we may be better off as friends," Adrien sighed in a disappointed tone.

"Friends? But are you crazy in love with her?"

"Yes of course but not to her. She told me she moved on to another guy," Adrien explained.

"Alya hasn't told me about Mari dating anyone else," Nino questioned Adrien's comment.

"Maybe not yet but you saw the concert. Luka and Marinette had an amazing connection in that song," Adrien hated to admit.

"I don't think that Mari would just replace you just like that," Nino adds to Adrien's thoughts.

"Maybe not but I know I did hurt her," Adrien explained as he watches Marinette being asked questions by her friends, "I have to accept that she is with someone else. She was the best thing that happened to me so I can't lose her friendship."

"Look, I hope you figured it out. but I don't think it's over yet. If she didn't say she's dating Luka then it's still fair game."

"Thanks, Nino," Adrien plastered a smile. However, all he can think about is how he lost her.

_______________________________

After finally de akumatising Nino as Rocketear. Chat Noir was talking to Nino and Alya in regards to trusting each other.

"Everyone has doubts now and then," Chat Noir sighed as he looked down, "Even me..."

Ladybug notices his upset tone, "Is everything okay, Chat Noir?"

Chat Noir was upset knowing the fact that Alta and Nino knew each other secret identity. Although he knows now it was Marinette the circumstances were different. He gave a false reassuring smile towards Ladybug, "Yeah, yeah."

Ladybug nodded she fist bumps into his saying, "Pound it!"

Ladybug and Chat Noire made their way back to their homes. Chat Noir was still upset, as he thought about the secrets Nino had blurted out to him. He didn't understand why Marinette would allow Alta and Nino to know each other secret. It hurts more knowing when they were dating Marinette kept her secrets.

Chat Noir transformed back as he arrived at his room. He sighed as a result of his return info to his somewhat imprisoning room. He turned off the player of his piano playing and went to relax at his desk. His screen flashed to reveal the post of him with Ladybug, Rene Rouge, and Carapace on the Lady blog.

"I still can't believe Ladybug entrusted Alya and Nino with those Miraculous," Adrien mumbled due to the fact they are a couple.

Plagg appeared next to him eating his camembert, "Of course she did. She's the Guardian.

"But they're a couple and they know each other's secret identities," Adrien argues.

"So...?" He responds as he eats his camembert slice.

"So, why does she make it a rule that we can't be together because we are heroes. But it's okay for them?" Adrien argues.

"She's the Guardian, the Grandmaster Cheese Ripener, and you and I are just cheese on the platter. She decides what's on the menu," Plagg says with a tone of a martial arts master.

"Thanks for taking her side," Adrien sighed as he kept looking on the post. Adrien frowned as he got up, "Look I'm not going to stand here and take it. I need a real answer from her." He then transformed to go to Marinette's home.

She was working on a design on her desk as she started to hear tapping on her window. Startled thinking it was an a akuma she looked over the window. However it was his green eyes glowing towards her.

"Adrien..." Marinette mumbled in disbelief.

"Are you going to talk to him?" Tikki asked as she watch Marinette turned away.

Marinette sighed feeling she had no other choice, "I have too he was acting weird after Nino was akumatized."

Marinette went out to the balcony to face the music. She open the door to out to see Chat Noir perching on the rails of the balcony.

"Chat..." Marinette began but was cut off by Chat Noir.

"So how much more secrets are you going to keep from me? What are you trying to protect me from? I know you no longer love me but.... You're a totally different person to me now. I use to think of you as somebody that would never ever hurt me. Even with the lies," he breathed in response.

Marinette was stunned to speak. Shethen reached out her fingers forced his chin to face her as he was now looking away, "I... I know... It's difficult but.... Look... But it's not because I don't...I don't know what is changing but it's not because I don't care... I love you ," she argued, then his lips pressed to hers.

It was like a fire ignited inside of her. Her body went from cold to scalding in a heartbeat and her lips felt like the sun itself had settled upon them. She tentatively reached up with her hands and let them rest on his chest, feeling the frantic beating of his heart from within. He parted his lips and then sighed into her mouth. He pulled away but kept his face close to hers so she could still feel his hot breath on her lips and smell the faint tinge of camembert mixed with Adrien's scent.

"I love you too," he said as if by way of explanation, "But how miserable do I have to be before your happy?"

"I'm not happy either," Marinette tries to explain.

"But Luka?"

"Another lie..."

"So why do this?" Chat Noir questioned.

Marinette sighed as she whispers, "I'm sorry. I thought it would make things more complicated if we are apart."

"It just made me more desperate to be together. I've never stopped loving you," Chat Noir declared.

"Even after everything I do to keep you away?" Marinette asked.

"You can't keep me away," Chat Noir chuckled. "But do you still want to?" He questioned, looking deep into Marinette's eyes finally.

"I... I don't..." Marinette looks at his eyes and felt the hurt if she was going to reject him again, "But if I keep hurting you and break your heart?" Marinette asked in all seriousness.

Chat Noir sighed as he looked at her, "Its was yours to break. No matter how much it hurted "

Marinette then press a kiss on Chat Noir's lips. She wrapped her hands around his neck, pulling him closer and deepening the kiss. Chat Noir pulled apart from the kiss and lifted her leg almost straddling him, "I want to be with you."

"I missed you," Chat Noir breathed heavily, obviously riled from the kiss already.

Marinette kissed him again, putting Chat Noir's hands on her waist. She deepened the kiss quickly, a hunger taking over.

Marinette's hands went for Chat Noir's waistband and he grabbed her wrists.

"Not so fast," Chat Noir breathed, holding Marinette's hands above her head, "Are just to be clear were together?"

"Yes," she kissed him again.

Chat Noir groaned, not knowing what to do when someone else is in control, "Keep messing with me and I'm going to put you second in command princess."

Marinette wasn't listening, slipping her hands on the bell of his suit, "Then do it kitty " She crashed her lips back into Chat Noir's, earning a low growl from his throat. She kissed him hard, her free gripping on his hair. Marinette leaned into the kiss, doing her best to break Chat Noir's firm grasp.

"Ah-uh," Chat Noir smirked, kissing her again.

Marinette rolled his eyes and deepened the kiss yet again, "Come on don't trust me?"

Chat Noir knew Marinette's tricks, though, and decided to divert his attention to Marinette's shoulder. He planted small kisses along her collarbone until his lips grazed Marinette's neck. He bit her softly, hearing Marinette moan in protest, "I'm still mad at you so I'm just making sure your not going to reject me. To be fair this is your first time hooking up with Chat Noir not Adrien."

Marinette blushed back to moments when she visited Adrien as Ladybug and how different he was towards her. "Kitty, you aren't being fair," Marinette growled.

"It's called a little payback," Chat Noir retorted, kissing Marinette's bites. Marinette tensed up and groaned lowly.

"Chat..."

"Mari, you're starting to test my self-restraint," Chat Noir breathed although he cease in control he couldn't resist her after so many months of there initial break up.

"Oh, like this?" Marinette asked cooley, sucking hard on his neck, which were obviously the most sensitive.

Chat Noir had had enough, his eyes turned a deep green as he picked Marinette up and carried her to her bedroom.

"I guess I am second in command?" Marinette laughed nervously.

Chat Noir set her down on the bed and crawled on top of her, still not saying a word. He stared at Marinette with those intense green eyes, making her shiver in anticipation.

Chat Noir suddenly looked down, as if he was embarrassed. He took Marinette's face and crashed his lips into her, taking Marinette by surprise.

"Chat... Adrien?" Marinette questioned, breaking the kiss again.

Chat Noir breathed hard, struggling to focus on words at this point, "Uh- y-yes, Mari?"

"Nothing, it's just... I- I love you..." Marinette blushed, pulling Chat Noir into another kiss.

Chat Noir instinctively pulled back at first, confused, questioning the 'strange' situation. He was mad at her earlier but now she is vulnerable. But it didn't feel wrong. At all. It felt... right. Perfect even.

Marinette undid the bell of the suit and pushed her hands against Chat Noir's firm chest beneath the leather fabric, kissing him passionately all the while. He let himself be controlled by the passion raging inside him.

Marinette stopped kissing Chat Noir just to stare into his eyes. She hadn't thought about how the hero felt about all of this... What he wanted. The heavy rising and falling of his chest and the breaths coming from his mouth was enough to realise the hero felt the same way. His green eyes reflected the same passion Marinette's was feeling.

"Mari, I will always love you. I want this but if you mean it that things will change," Chat Noir asked.

"It will," Marinette nodded, " I still have to keep my secrets."

Chat Noir groaned in annoyance, ”As long as you start giving me some explanation I'll agree."

Marinette nodded in agreement and continued the loving encounter, and for the first time in a long time, didn't mask her feelings. He'd waited so long for this, so long.

Chat Noir smirked and slowly ran his tongue down Marinette's sweet neck. He kissed his way back up to the top and Marinette involuntarily pulled her head back and closed her eyes, gripping onto his waist even tighter. The hero lovingly nibbled the flesh of Marinette's neck. She let out a soft moan in the heat of the moment.

Chat Noir noticed this and decided to play with her a little to show her who was really the dominant half. He ran his wet tongue over Marinette's neck once, causing her to shiver pleasurably, completely at the mercy of Chat Noir, and then stopped, simply gazing into his eyes. Marinette, with half closed eyes, look pleadingly at Chat Noir, practically begging for more. His heavy breathing brushed against the hero's cheek and their pounding hearts beated together against the others' chest.

"Please..." Marinette quietly pleaded. Her voice was hardly audible as she pulled Chat Noir towards her and they tumbled to the bed in a mix of kisses.
