A/N: short or long chapters?

Marinette's POV

I snuck back into my room in order to avoid my parents who still didn't know that I had returned to town. I was glad though, I didn't feel like facing them anyway.

I wanted to throw a tantrum and talk to Tikki about how childish Adrien was, but decided against it when I remembered that my parents would probably be able to hear me.

I rolled my eyes, getting up to my bed and beginning to take a good nights rest. Since I had so many problems as Ladybug, it would be needed.

***

I felt the bed dip beside me, then two hands fold around me, encasing me in a tight hug. The person next to me didn't say anything, so I automatically assumed that it couldn't have been my parents.

"Adrien?" I asked out loud, receiving a small purr from my side. I kept my eyes closed to savor the warmth he provided.

"Your right, I acted rational, I don't want a small fight to come between us." His warm breath brushed the side of my ear, causing me to shudder.

I sighed before a realization popped into my head, "there has to be another reason, you could've talked to me tomorrow."

"Well... promise you won't freak out, and promise you won't leave me in this room alone, no matter what." I turned towards him, noticing that his eyes were a bright blaring green. I didn't notice he was in his Chat noir form until I felt and saw the leather that encased me. "Are you made at me?" He asked.

"You know, I can see your avoiding the topic, so just tell me what it is." I commented.

"Are you made at me?" He repeated.

"Well I was a little mad, but I've filled down." I took a breath, "Are you mad at me?" I asked.

He placed a soft, tender kiss on the top of my forehead before saying, "I'm not mad at you. I was just mad at myself." He said.

"I'm sensing that's not all."

He took a deep breath before placing another kiss on my forehead. "I'm going to say everything quickly, so just... don't say anything in between, or it'll distract me, okay?"

I nodded my head slowly, wondering what he was going to talk to me about. "Bunnix..."

***

My mouth was left a gape after he had told me the whole story, and now, I felt as if I couldn't sleep. Adrien had told me that he knew of Chat blanc, and that he had to do something similar just yesterday. He told me how the world was practically ruined, just like when he was Chat blanc.

He kept repeating the phrase, "our love", which often caused a few triggering moments for tears to build up. I was glad he told me this, but I needed to know why he did?

I wanted to keep my issues with Chat blanc hidden away, buried in the past to not let them resurf. Because the memories that came with them were torturous. Adrien seemed open about the story, causing my eyes to water even more. It felt like he had been through so much more then I had, but he didn't seemed fazed.

"Do you know... do you know how you died?" I asked, referring to the story about my akumatization.

"No, I don't know how I died." He whispered. I felt my hand involuntary clutch onto his leather suit, and I pulled myself closer to him. "Do you know how you died?"

"I have no idea." I whispered back. I threw out a half lie so Adrien wouldn't be worried. I think if he knew that his power somehow killed me, he would be afraid to use it.

Adrien didn't say anything for a while, and through the light shining through the window, I could tell he was in deep thought. "I can tell you want to say something else?" I kissed the side of his cheek before letting go of him. It seemed like words were hanging from his lips.

"I wasn't lying about wanting to Marry you. I love you so much, and you know that." He brought his arm to his eyes, hiding the intense emotions that were spilling out of them. "But I have this deep need to protect you, and I feel like I fail at it every time." He whined. I could see the highlight of a tear slide down his face.

I didn't know what to do. I didn't know what to say either. All I knew was to let him talk.

"You were right about Kagami, I did enjoy the feeling of freedom. My worst fear was being locked up, and with Kagami, I was allowed to have a chance to see the world." His eyes were still hidden, "And I know that I'm touchy, clingy, have my bad moments, but it's because your the one thing that I care so much for in their world. If something were to happen to us, I wouldn't care, as long as you were safe." He paused for a second, then continued.

" I know our job as super heroes are dangerous, and I know there is a chance that we won't make it one day. But I don't care if I don't make it, I only care if you make it. I-."

"Don't say that Chat noir. You know that's not fair." I stopped him, finally being able to say something, "We are a team, if I make it out alive, then your making it out as well. We die together, or not at all." My hands slowly picked his arm up that was covering his eyes, staring at the tears that were falling. "I don't care what happens out on the battlefield, we do whatever we do, together." I caressed his face gently, then wiped a falling tear tenderly with my thumb.

"I'll make you a deal, Adrien." His green cat like eyes stared into mine. "I will marry you, but it'll have to wait until we graduate. If we are able to maintain this relationship for the rest of Junior and Senior year, then I will be yours as you are mine."

He suddenly propped himself on his elbow, then grabbed my face, pulling it towards him. "You have a deal, Marinette." He stated, right before he kissed me.

"I still can't believe it." Alya said as she ate her lunch. It was spring break, and the gang decided to eat lunch together.

"Can't believe what?" I asked as I felt Adrien's hand wrap around my waist, pulling me slowly to him. He was feeling extremely anxious, and I didn't know why. Maybe it was because Luka, Chloe, and Kagami were sitting across from us.

They were normally not apart of our small friend group, but we decided it would be fun to get everyone together still.

"I can't believe that you guys are dating, and you haven't even told me yet!" Alya practically yelled with her eyes wide. Everyone around the table was unfazed. "Did everyone know except me, your own best friend?" She asked.

"Well I that it was really obvious." Chloe commented, eating the rest of large salad.

"Adrien made it clear when he kept pulling Marinette out to random halls in the middle of school." Kagami said with a small smirk.

"Wha-Whaaaaaat." My face was as bright as a tomato and I kept my eyes away from Adrien. "It was- it was that obvious!"

"That's great dude, I'm proud of you." Nino stated.

"That's great Marinette." Luka said with a smile. Adrien's hand felt like it was going to go through my stomach with the amount of force he was now applying. If he was somehow jealous of Luka, he had no reason to be.

"I didn't know it was that obvious. Besides, I didn't care about people knowing, it was Marinette who really cared." He looked at me.

"I only cared because of the media. You know what people would say about me, I'm sure Kagami had to go through all of those weird things already with the media and you being a model." I looked at Kagami for moral support.

"She's right, there were some things that irked me, but people always avoided me for some reason, maybe it was because of the way I walked while I was on the street. I also had to sometimes avoid people. And Marinette will probably have it worse, I mean she is a pretty well known fashion designer now, especially for Jagged Stone."

I would be honest, it made me a little annoyed that Kagami could say stuff about her Experiences as Adrien's girlfriend, but I knew I was over my head. I didn't believe she had feelings for him anymore. And besides, apparently there was now a weird thing for Luka that her and Chloe may have developed. But I'm sure those were just rumors.

"I didn't even think about all of that, but it just makes it worse."

"You know you could take my limo to avoid large groups of people, I want the world to know that your my girlfriend. Not just our classroom or group of friends." He said, looking directly into my eyes.

"I know Adrien, but I- you know how I feel about it." I said back. "I want to be able to walk around without feeling the pressure of someone always watching me. You may be used to it now, but I just don't think I'm ready." I said softly.

"I know, but I want you to be ready at some point. I wanna show off my girl." I blushed ferociously at his words. "I also wanna do some other things in public without being-."

"Okay you guys! I may be Adrien's ex-girlfriend, but it still is weird to see such a weird interaction happen in front of me." Kagami said looking at me.

"I swear they've done much weirder things as friends girl. Like when they-."

"Okay! we don't need to talk about this while we're eating!" I said, picking up a piece of my macaroon.

"Your making M'Lady flustered again." Adrien stepped in.

"Oh I'll make you flustered and-." I was cut off.

"Okay we get it guys, your having a lovers quarrel. You two are getting utterly ridiculous right now, I want to throw up." Chloe said before taking a big bite out of her food.

I felt my face heat up before I felt a vibration in my pocket. I lifted my phone to see the notification, then read the text in my head.

Lila:

I know that your Ladybug, and I'm not afraid to tell the world again with proof.
