Chapter 19

There I was, waiting for an answer on how and for how long Marinette had knew that I was Chat. Had Pagg knew the answer already, I will definitely cut down his cheese for a few days, for him never telling me that he knew who Ladybug was.

"Did Plagg told you?" I asked.

"I didn't tell her nothing. It was all your fault pretty boy." Plagg defended himself.

"No, Plagg didn't need to tell me." Marinette assured me. "The day you got hurt and I took you to my house to help you, that when I discovered."

"But how? I hid myself after the transformation wear of." I said.

"Yeah, you weren't that hidden. When I got close enough to the head of the bed to leave the medicine for you I was able to see your face." She explained. "I didn't say anything because I didn't know how to tell you I was Ladybug, and to add on it I was in a bad state myself with my energy being drain with so many attacks."

"You should have told me." I said. "I was worried, for both of you. I can't believe I didn't see that you were Ladybug."

"There wasn't a reason for you to connect both." She commented. "And I try my best to hide it."

"She hid it so well that you even close her up on that closet on school." Tikki commented.

"Oh my, that's true. I'm so sorry." I started. "Wait how did you get out?"

"When Tikki saw what you were doing she came out of my purse and stayed outside. TIkki then opened the door with some difficulty thanks to the chair against the door." Marinette explained.

"I still can't believe I almost ruined the day because I closed Ladybug in a closet." I said.

"Well you didn't know." Marinette comforted me.

"And after all I still let get you hurt. I should have protected you." I continued.

"You do it all the time, and there was no way to know that this would happen." She said.

"Still, you were sick all the time. If only I had help more." I said.

"It's not your fault Adrien. If anyone is at fault here is me." She told me.

"But now you are badly hurt and you have it to hide it like I did." I continued.

"Well, everyone knows I'm sick. I can use that as an excuse until the wound gets better." She suggested. "The only thing that concerns me is if there is another attack. We need my Ladybug power to purify the akuma."

"We will think of something that will not make you wound worse." I said. "I can fight the akuma and get it and you would only need to purify it, no fight for you until that wound is heal."

"I guess, Tikki will not let me fight anyway." Marinette agreed. "But is not like I can just stay put and wait."

"Now, let's stop talking about that. You need to eat." I said. "I already text Alya, or parents know you are here, so let's make sure you look fine when you go back. We don't have an excuse for your wound."

"Is it that bad?" She asked after taking a bite of the food in front of her.

"Well it's a little deep, but I guess is not that bad overall, otherwise I would have had to take you to the hospital." I informed. "Still you should be careful."

"I will, and I can't let my parents find out." Marinette said after another bite.

"I will help you princess. It was partly my fault after all." I said.

"Not your fault kitty." She assured me one more time. "And I really should go now. Thanks for everything you did Adrien."

"Not at all. You helped me too when I needed. It was the least I could do." I told her.

I walked closer to her to help her, I could see in her face that she was still in pain and she was trying to hide it.

"Before we go you should take something more for the pain. The first days are the worst ones." I suggested.

"Maybe you are right. I can barely move without feeling any pain." She agreed.

I ran out of the dining room to pick up some extra pain killers, I was happy that at least she wasn't trying to hide it from me. Even with her telling me over and over that the accident wasn't my fault my heart still was heavy with guilt of not been able to prevent it. Once I got the medicine I went back to the dining room, where I saw Plagg and Tikki around Marinette and asking her if she needed anything.

"Here, take this one." I said handing her the medicine and a glass of water. "And don't bother her to much Plagg, she needs to rest."

"I'm just trying to help your girlfriend." Plagg said.

I could see Marinette face turning red from the comment, Plagg had always said that after a while I had stopped ignoring his comments, but now I wasn't sure I did mind the comment.

"Sorry Marinette, Plagg doesn't know how to behave." I said.

"No need to apology." She said looking at the floor.

Great job Adrien, you made things even worse. I got down so that I could see her face.

"I got to hear him always said that, but I never thought that one day will come that I wanted to be true." I told her.

Marinette's face gained a few more tones of red, but she was looking at me now, and through all the pain that the wound was causing her, I could see that she was happy.

"I couldn't see that the one I loved was beside me all along, and now I think Plagg was actually trying to tell me all this time." I continued. "Can you forgive me?"
She didn't spoke and simply nodded her head, tears were forming in her eyes, so I cleaned them with my hand.

"Would you let me be by your side from now on?" I asked.

"I can't believe that after all this time, we had to get hurt to find we were in love with each other all along." She started. "I want to be by your side too, both of them."

I lean closer to her, both our eyes closing with the proximity. Everything around me disappear when my lips touched her, it was just the two of us now. Well at least until Plagg's voice came from nowhere.

"Before you get lost on the lovely kiss gimme me more cheese." Plagg complain. "Oh, and some chocolate chip cookies for Tikki."
Both me and Marinette started to laugh at the comment.

"Here let's take you home. And give some food to the starving kwamis." I said.
