Chapter Text
A cool breeze stung Chat Noir's sweaty face, he had just finished a grueling mission and was sitting atop the buildings of Paris. He looked over at his tired battle partner Ladybug, whose miraculous was blinking signifying her de-transformation was soon. He looked at her longingly and said,
“ Hey ladybug, when will you finally let me know who you are?”
Ladybug stiffened. Chat knew the answer.
“Chat you know we can't know each other's secret identities, it's too dangerous. Hawk Moth could use them against us.”
“ I know, you say that all the time” he sighed, slightly upset, "I just want to know everything about you, m’lady. Don't you trust me? You know I wouldn't tell anyone, cats honor” He said as he held up his right hand.
Ladybug sighed, “ I just can't, at least not now. So many things could go wrong, and besides, I don't want you to look at me differently.” Chat listened as she said this, noticing how worried she was about her civilian self.
“ Well, will you at least let me get to know you more? There's so much more I want to know!” Chat said in an attempt to lighten the mood.
“Like what?” Ladybug said in response.
Chat stared into the sky with a smile thinking about all he wanted to know about the beautiful superheroine he was in love with,
“Well… what's your favorite color?” he started, “Tell me about your best friend, do you have any hobbies besides saving Paris?” he continued with excitement behind his voice, “An- and that boy you love, I would love to know his name.” he looked up from his small spew of words hoping for some answers, he was met with a very shy ladybug. She blushed at the mention of her crush.
“Why do you want to know his name?” she replied with a pout.
Chat let out a giggle and replied,
“It's not like I'm going to track him down or anything, I just… I don't know bugaboo, I'm curious I guess.”
“Well, I suppose I could tell you his first name. I think it's fairly common.” as these words left ladybugs mouths chats heart races with anticipation. He would finally know something huge about her.
“Okay then~,” he said with a slight smirk, “I'll settle for his first name only.”
Ladybug took a deep breath, blush spreading to the visible parts of her face,
“Okay, well… His name is- its Adrien.” as Chat heard his name being called he froze. He just heard the girl he loved to say his name. As he caught his breath he realized she was starting back for his response to the name.
“A- Adrien?” he said back with a crack in his voice,” His name is Adrien?” he exhaled waiting for his question to be confirmed.
“Yes, that's what I said kitty” Ladybug said back.
Chat stared back into her deep blue eyes. Trying not to expose his identity on a first name basis he pressed for more answers.
“I have one last question, is the Adrien you like... Adrien Agreste? I know you said no last names, m'lady, but I- I need to know.”
He looked up to her again to see her reply but was met with a bright red nervous ladybug,
“ I- How did you know?!” she said, he could tell there was panic behind her voice,” Oh… right. I forgot he is pretty famous since he's a model”
He looked away from the nervous ladybug he hadn't got the chance to see often,
“No, that's not how I know him m’lady.” as he said this he glanced back at the ladybug, she was thinking about the words that just left the boy's mouth.
“Oh? Well then how” he looked at her as she was still deep in thought about where he could know Adrien, it wasn't until the words left his mouth that she looked back up.
“ Plag, claws in,” he said. As the detransformation happened he noticed ladybug cover her eyes and yell,
“Chat! No!” he looked at her, as Adrien and tried to calm the tense lady before him.
“It's me bugaboo, open your eyes.” With the power of the miraculous not hiding his voice ladybug instantly knew who was sitting across from her. Her muscles relaxed slightly as she opened her eyes and replied to her crush,
“Wha- what Adrien?! How? I- there's no way! Chat?” As he heard her tone of voice he could tell she was freaked out.
