"Come on M'Lady please!" Chat Noir pleaded in the afternoon on top of the Louvre.

"Kitty, you know we can't. Master Fu isn't here anymore and I must be responsible"

"You're the guardian ladybug! Technically you should know my identity."

"I'm also your partner, even if there's a small chance that I let you see me without my mask, it's would affect our relationship."

"You're right."

Ladybug looked stunned, she yo-yoed Chat up. "Chat Noir would never give up so easily! You fooled me well copycat!"

"Pfft, bugaboo you're so cute. I meant if you saw me or if I saw you we wouldn't be able to resist each other."

"Hmm, just to be sure tell me three things only the real Chat Noir would know."

"My wallpaper on everything is the time we kissed and lost our memories, in-"

Ladybug blushed and shouted "Shut up! I know it's you geez!"

Chat let out a little chuckle until he saw Ladybug's face process this new piece of information. "Is that seriously your wallpaper on everything?"

"Of course, it's my favourite photo. I have 7 printed copied all framed around my room." That was a lie but if he lived with any other set of people that is how it would be.

Ladybug couldn't help but laugh at that remark, as she stared at Chat he couldn't and looked away. "What's wrong kitty?"

"It's been too long, I can't bare to do this any longer." He held his ring hand out and made the slow action of taking it off.

"Chat, what are you doing?!"

"I'm sorry to do this but I can't stand another day of coming to you lovesick and leaving depressed. I'm giving you an ultimatum, a date or your identity. If you really can't stand being in a relationship with me I understand but if you're really as good of a friend as you say you are let me see who you are. You can confiscate my miraculous afterward if you wish."

Ladybug was in shock at first until she thought about it, the pros were; no Chat, no flirts, new hero. The cons were; no flirts, no nicknames, a new hero and no Chat Noir. The cons were so much more devastating than the pros, so she decided to call his bluff. "You're bluffing."

"You really want to bet Chat Noir and my identity on that? Think about how far I'd go for the one I love with all my heart."

"This is forced! You're making me decide!"

"I wouldn't do this unless I really had too, you know how much I love you, would I really give you up this easily? Unless your rejections scarred me more than you believe." Ladybug still thought it was a bluff until she saw tears, every time she rejected him it was like a knife piercing his heart. She imagined herself as Marinette, how much pain she'd be in if Adrien just pushed her by the face away and shrugged off her long awaited confession, now make that happen in a loop, every time an akuma was released.

"Kitty… How much do I hurt you when I reject you out of 10?"

Chat gave a sad smile, his ring halfway across his finger. "There isn't a name for the number high enough M'Lady."

Ladybug covered her gaping mouth, she began to cry a little as well. "One date, if you manage to get me interested we'll go on another. If I'm not interested you stay my sweet kitty and we reveal our identities when I'm ready. Deal kitty?"

Chat smiled and his tears became joyous, he fell to his knees. "Thank you, this means a lot to me."

"Then don't make me regret it!" She helped him up and she had a laugh.

Bunnix will come by to stop us, when Chat last found out my identity it caused him to be akumatised, if we date we'll get close and when something happens the other will fall victim to an akuma. She waited smugly at the bottom of the glass pyramid waiting for the priceless reaction of Chat when Bunnix appeared. Chat held her hand and guided her forward, "I know the perfect place! You won't regret this bugaboo."

A furrow appeared and Bunnix stepped out, Ladybug pretended to act surprised. "If Bunnix is here than we must cause an apocalypse in the future. Guess we can't date! Oh well."

"Actually Minibug… I'm here to tell you to start dating, the Ladybug said that she was going to not go on the second date with Chat and I appeared and told you to do it."

"Ha! Even the future ladybug ships you and I M'Lady, I told you we were made for each other. If Bunnix came here to encourage us to date, this is probably the story we tell to our kids, how we started dating. Ladybug winked at him, "Now I expect even higher of you considering I agreed, you better blow my mind kitty and you might get a goodnight kiss."

Bunnix went back into her world of white light and furrows of time, "Thank god, my brother won't become Chat Noir now. That was a close one, that started the cat and bunny war a few years back."

Moral of the story: If someone doesn't travel back in time to stop you from making a decision, how bad can that decision be?
