The acknowledgement

-Listen, Marinette, I don't think you should think that much. Just go to him, look him in the eye and tell him how you feel about him. Do you want Nino and I to leave you alone?

-Well ... I don't know if that would help me. I can't handle it, Alya.

-Marinette, you're an amazing girl, and if Adrien doesn't see that, it’s his loss.

-Thanks, Alya! You are the best best friend, haha.

* They go to the boys and Alya takes Nino's hand and leads him to Andre's ice cream *

-What's up, Marinette? You look a bit scared, is everything okay? ”Adrien asked.

-Adrien, I-I ..... I have to tell you something.

-What's up, princess?

* Marinette looked at him with wide eyes and froze in place *

-Adrien, what did you just call me?

* Adrien realized what he said and tried to distract the conversation *

-W-what? I didn't say anything. What did you want to tell me?

-It doesn’t matter.

-Oh, I lost track of time. I have to go. Excuse me, Mari.

Adrien walked to the car. Marinette opens her bag *

-Tikki, he called me the same way Chat calls me.

- Marinette\, you know you shouldn’t know your identities. Forget what he said.

-But he is the boy of my dreams, and I am the guardian of miraculous, no one will know and so it won’t be a problem.

* Marinette closes her bag and runs to Adrien *

- ADRIEN\, WAIT\, PLEASE!- Marinette shouted after Adrien.

* Adrien stopped and turned *

* As she ran toward him\, Marinette stumbled\, and Adrien caught her just in time to land. *

-Good grip, kitty.- Marinette told him.

-...- Adrien was shaken. He had lost sight of his secret identity to someone, he had broken the promise he had made to the Ladybug.

-Marinette, I don't know what you're talking about, I'm not...

-I know you're Chat, you don't have to lie to me, I know what it's like to have to lie .....

-And I...

- Don't worry\, I won't tell anyone.

* Adrien smiled and got in the car *

-Thank you, Princess.- he said as the car pulled away.

There was Akuma. He was an accredited cab driver whose client raised a scandal for being late for a meeting due to traffic.

*Marinette transforms and goes to the Eiffel Tower to wait for Chat Noir*

*Plagg and Adrien and talking*

- Marinette revealed my secret\, now should I tell Ladybug?

- Adrien\, Adrien\, Adrien\, you don't have to tell Ladybug everything\, you know? Besides\, everyone has secrets\, even Ladybug and Marinette\, why don't you keep this a secret?

- What if I told Ladybug and she thought I was no longer worthy of the miracle worker? What if she finds a better black cat to save Paris?

- She won't. Master Foo chose you and her.

Adrien sees on the news that there is Akuma outside and transforms.

On the Eiffel Tower:

- Hey\, Bugaboo.

- Hey\, kitty. - The clinic notices Chat is sad. - What is it?

- I can tell you anything\, can't I\, Bugaboo?

- Of course\, Chat\, but everyone has secrets\, so if it's something personal in your life as a regular citizen\, you better not. So you can tell me who you are and we both have to give up our miracles because we've shown our true identities.

- Are we always going to be partners?

- Always.

*They deacumatize the villain*

*Ladybug grabs Chat's hand before he goes to transform himself*

-You know that you can always count on me, just like you can on your friends. If you ever need to talk to someone, but it's a subject you can't talk to me about, you can turn to someone you trust.- said Ladybug and disappeared.

Later that day:

*Marinette and Tikki are talking*

- Well\, Marinette\, Chat tried to tell you that he gave up his identity and also the boy\, who you like is your partner. What are you going to do now?

- I don't know\, Tikki\, I really like Adrien\, and Chat's not so bad either\, but I never thought they could be the same person.

*Someone knocks on the window*

- Chat\, is this you?

- Yes\, Princess. Can I come in?

- Sure.

- Marinette\, what did you want to tell me in the park earlier today?

- Adrien\, I-I...

- Whatever it is\, I want you to know that you're one of my closest people\, and you can tell me anything. I know you're going to keep my secret\, and I think it's okay for you to know that you can share it with me.

- What if it's going to change things between us? What if you don't look at me the same way after that?

- That's not going to happen\, Princess.

*Chat approaches her\, looks her in the eye. With a hand on her waist\, he pulls her into a hug*

- If you're still worried that if you tell me something\, something will change between us\, I'll tell you something else. Today I was thinking about telling Ladybug you'd exposed me because that would mean I'd stop being Chat Noir\, but I couldn't. The thought that I could never spend time with her again and see her closer\, I just... I couldn't.

- Y-you\, you love her really\, don't you?

- Yeah\, but... she has feelings for someone else\, and she keeps pushing me away.
