Hey all, I'm back with another Reveal Story! If you haven't checked out my first story "I Didn't Mean to Hurt You", no worries, but it's pretty good so check it out! Ever since I wrote it, I wanted to do a story where Marinette figures out Cat's identity first (the opposite of what happened in my first story), but couldn't come up with a plot that seemed to work well for her character. And then I watched Olivio and my mind finally came up with a good story. That being said:

SPOILER WARNING!

IF YOU HAVE NOT WATCHED OBLIVIO DO NOT READ THIS STORY!

There WILL be major spoilers and, trust me, it is much better to just go watch the episode!

Also, shameless plug for my other fanfic, The Catastrophic Adventures of Emma Agreste! It's a more complicated plot and is taking longer to write so make sure to follow it for updates!

Ok, enough of my blabbing! On to the story!

"Can you believe it, Mari?" Alya said again for the hundredth time that week as she laid on Marinette's bed. "Ladybug and Cat Noir finally kissed!"

"Yes, Alya, I heard you the first time," Marinette muttered, trying to focus on the skirt she was altering for her best friend. "But that doesn't make them a couple. Oblivio erased their memories. You said so yourself. They aren't dating."

"I know...but they could be, don't you see?" Alya asked, but Marinette definitely did not see. In fact, she had been trying to see all week but with no success. The events of their last battle against Hawkmoth had shaken her to her core. She had managed to stay positive, focusing on the big fashion show going on in London instead, but with Alya still obsessing over the kiss made it difficult.

"She loves someone else though," Marinette commented, knowing Alya had heard Ladybug say it.

"And when she forgot about that? BAM! Ladynoir!"

"Exactly, she forgot about that other guy! That isn't fair, Alya,"

"Why are you so against this, Mari? I mean, all of Paris is rooting for them to get together!"

"I just don't want to force something if there isn't anything there, that's all. Ladybug shouldn't feel pressured to date someone she doesn't want to."

"I guess you're right." Alya conceded, falling silent. Marinette finished off the hem and held up her handiwork to inspect it.

"But, Cat Noir had her falling in love with him in less than thirty minutes!" Alya said, resuming her argument. "That has to count for something."

Marinette turned and looked at her friend. Alya was sitting up now, staring at her phone. Most likely that annoying photo she has, Marinette thought. But she does have a point. What happened in those thirty minutes?

"Get down here and try this on," Marinette said. Alya complied, not looking up from her phone. Once Alya had the skirt on, Marinette began inspecting it for anything else that might need to be adjusted. She grabbed a few pins and began making a few last minute adjustments.

A little bit tighter here, she mentally noted, placing a pin. Suddenly Alya let out a loud gasp. Looking up at her, Marinette saw that Alya was eagerly pointing at her phone, speechless.

"Alya?"

"Mari...they de-transformed," She commented, tilting the phone so that Mari could see the video replay of the duo fighting.

"Ok….so….wait, how do you know that?" Marinette asked quickly. She wasn't aware that anyone knew how their suits work.

"I pay attention. Any time Ladybug uses Lucky Charm, her earrings start to beep. It seems to be a warning that she's going to change back. It's the same for Cat Noir using cataclysm and that ring he has. Whenever the fighting is done, they always run off when they notice the beeps."

Fair enough, Marinette thought.

"Anyway, look, they both used their powers and then got stuck in that elevator! They must have de-transformed shortly after that!"

"So?" Marinette failed to see what was so exciting.

"That means they were together in their civilian forms."

"Yeah, but they lost the memories, right? So they wouldn't remember anything. Civilian form or superhero form. It wouldn't matter."

"Ok, but think about this for a second. What if...what if you forgot who Adrien was. About everything going on between the two of you. Wouldn't you still fall for him?"

"Well, yeah. Adrien's charming and sweet…."

"Would you fall for him within thirty minutes?" Marinette pondered the question, glancing at the photos on her wall.

"Maybe...yeah...probably."

"Exactly. Ladybug said she liked another boy, but...what if...what if the boy she likes is Cat Noir...but in civilian form."

Marinette starred at Alya, her eyes growing wide. Alya looked like she was going to burst. She was bouncing slightly and her face was pulled into a grin so wide she could have rivaled Cat Noir.

"But...no...that's...that's…." Cat Noir isn't Adrien. She couldn't say it out loud, but she didn't think Alya would listen even if she could.

"Marinette, this is huge! I gotta go!" She slipped out of the skirt and handed it back to Marinette. "Gotta update the Lady Blog! See ya!"

"Uh...yeah...bye?" Marinette leaned back in her chair. He couldn't be Adrien. Could he?
