The end of the world

Marinette's P.O.V.

I de-transformed and entered my house, skipping around and getting into my room

"TIKKI!!!"
I Screeched

"Yes Marinette?" She chirped back

"Did you hear what he said??"

She nods vigorously

"He said he LOVED me!!!"

My face burns and I cup it with both of my hands while falling into my swivel chair

"And he still likes ladybug! Bonus!!! But- he loves me! F-for me, Tikki!!!"

Tikki smiles and laughs
"Yeah, I know Marinette! But how will you keep this up?"

I tilt my head at her

"I mean, he likes ladybug. But he doesn't know your ladybug, and he loves you. Sure it sounds like a win win but if you don't want him confused you should only act upon it when you're Marinette... Which means eventually his love for ladybug will go away.... Unless... You tell him your ladybug..."

I instantly stop fangirling

"No! Tikki I can't tell him?"

"Marinette- as your Kwami I'm going to ask you this.... Why shouldn't you tell him?"

What? My own Kwami- who knows how secretive I should be of my identity... Is telling me, 'why not tell him your identity?'

I don't understand

I sit there and think of it.... I don't know if I could do that....

Suddenly there is tapping on my window

I feel my heart race again as tikki hides away and I turn my head to see Chat Noir.

I get up quickly and speed over to the window. I open it with no hesitation

"Bonjour, Princess"

I smile warmly before stepping aside so he can come in

"Bonjour, Kitty"

He smiles and enters with ease.

"So princess. How are you?"

"Amazing" I say in a dreamy type voice
I instantly realized how weird that sounded

He turns his head and looks at me with a smirk, and an eyebrow quirked upwards

"Uh-uhm... Eheheh" I laugh nervously

"What has you so uplifted?"

I smile and think about it
"Oh nothing really... Just in a good mood I suppose"

He smiles "good"

He stretches and his smile falls. He looks conflicted

"Are... You okay?"

"I feel kind of bad.... Have you ever had to reject someone who you think so much of?"

I shook my head
"Ahh... Sorry no. I don't believe so"

I know he's talking about when 'ladybug' said 'I like you'

"...yeah... Well I had to do that... I did it because I respected her so.. Yeah.... I just feel like kind of a dick I guess"

I walk towards him and look straight into his eyes while holding his shoulders

"Don't be, Chat. Your an amazing guy who doesn't deserve to feel bad about simply respecting someone else! She'll get over it"
