Leave Her Alone!

Reveler and Revealed (Part 2)

Asia: Thank you Ladybug😊

Ladybug: No problem

Cat Noir: We should probably take you home now

Asia: Good idea

Cat Noir: Ladybug! Um...can we talk, at the Eiffel Tower before patrol starts??

Ladybug: Yea, sure

*Cat Noir drops Asia off with her family and everyone was so relieved to see her

Marc: Asia...thank god you're okay

Asia: I still dont remember what happened, I'm just glad everyone's okay

Marc: Oh trust me, it's normal not remembering what happened during an akuma attack

Asia: The Hakuna what now??

*Cat Noir and Ladybug meet at the Eiffel Tower about 30 minutes before their usual patrol time

Ladybug: Cat Noir? You wanted to talk??

Cat Noir: I finally figured it out!

Ladybug: What did you figure out??

Cat Noir: Dont be mad, I love you for whoever you are....Marinette!

Ladybug: WHAAAA-

Cat Noir: This was a bad time...you know what, forget what I said...since you're the new guardian your probably gonna need to take my miraculous and-

Ladybug: H-how did you find out?

Cat Noir: For starters, I was just walking home when Asia bumped into me...telling me what happened between her and Marinette, but it couldnt have been pure coincidence that Ladybug said she caused this akumatization, me being there when she was akumatized!

Ladybug: Looks like I gave myself away without even noticing

Cat Noir: Marinette...I love you-

Ladybug: N-no you dont, you love Ladybug. The most gorgeous hero anyone has ever seen, the hero every boy likes...but I'm not her!

Cat Noir: Ladybug please-

Ladybug: Let's face it...you only want the amazing Ladybug

Cat Noir: The moment I first met you I wanted to know the girl behind that mask...I always wanted to get to know you better

Ladybug: No...you dont...I gotta go

*Ladybug swings away and Cat Noir follows her to the Dupain-Cheng bakery where she detransforms and starts bursting into tears

Tikki: Marinette??

Marinette: I- I cant do this...I'm not like her, I'm stupid and clumsy and just...disappointing

Tikki: Marinette calm down...you might cause an akuma-

Marinette: I cant do it...I cant hide all this pain anymore😭. It's all getting too much, everything is all set on me now because I'm the new guardian

Cat Noir: *(thoughts) Marinette...why didnt you talk to me?*

Marinette: Everyone sees me as this...girl figure and not as me, that moment with Adrien's cousin still traumatizes me to this day and everything going on with Lila...I wish people would actually like me as me

Cat Noir: Marinette! Why? Why didnt you just talk to me?

Marinette: C-cat Noir...what are you doing here? H-how long have you been there?

Cat Noir: Long enough to know that you've been hurting! Why didn't you just talk to me??

Marinette: W-well...you never took things seriously...I just assumed that-

Cat Noir: Princess...look at me

*Cat Noir can in and cupped Marinettes face making her look at him

Cat Noir: You are amazing...you have a special talent and yes, you can be clumsy but that is another trait that makes you you! You cant keep all this pain to yourself and we should be talking more...I love you not because you're Ladybug, I fell for the girl...not that mask, I waited for the day where I'd find out your identity and I did and it was worth the wait

*Marinette cried and hugged Cat Noir as tight as she could and he comforted her and also kept a look out for an akuma...he wanted to hug her forever and never escape from her embrace
