Since Glaciator, Marinette and Cat Noir have hung out almost every night before patrol on Marinette's roof. Marinette leaned against the balcony, waiting for Cat Noir.

"I wonder if Cat Noir is coming tonight..." Marinette wondered aloud to her kwami who hid behind a pot of flowers. Before Tikki could respond, Marinette felt a tap on her shoulder.

"Hey, Marinette!" Cat Noir purred. Marinette gasped and whipped around.

"Jeez! Cat Noir! You scared the crap out of me!!" Marinette heaved a large sigh.

"I'm a sneaky cat!" He exclaimed, walking across the balcony.

"You're a bit late tonight, you might've not been able to come." Marinette scorned him lightheartedly.

"Why not?" Cat Noir asked, sitting down.

"You have patrol with Ladybug!" Marinette explained, putting her hands on her hips, standing before Cat Noir who now stood up. He narrowed his eyes and leaned in.

"How did you know Ladybug and I patrol after our meetings?" Cat Noir pressed.

Darn It! Nice going, Marinette... Marinette thought, biting her lip.

"Ehm-You told me! And-Er-It's on the Ladyblog!" Marinette exclaimed quickly.

"Oh." Cat Noir sat back down.

"Hey Cat?" 

"Yeah?" Cat Noir turned back to Marinette.

"So... I like this guy, but I'm too afraid to even speak to him like a normal human. I don't know how to tell him about how I feel about him." Marinette sighed.

"I can help you!" Cat Noir offered.

"You would do that?" Marinette looked up.

"Yeah! Pretend I'm the guy!" Cat noir stood up.

"Okay. So, I know I'm really weird and awkward around you. I'm clumsy and crazy, but I am a real person. My name is Marinette Dupain-Cheng. And... I'm in love with you... Adrien Agreste." Marinette said.

Cat Noir froze.

"C-Cat?" Marinette tilted her head at the frozen superhero.

"Are you okay? Was it that bad?!" Marinette demanded fretfully.

"N-No! I-It was f-fine! I j-just-Wait a bit to tell him... Y-You're still shaky. Tell me first when you're going to, okay? Now, I have to go patrol with Ladybug, bye Marinette." Cat Noir exclaimed.

"O-Okay... Bye Cat." Marinette said, a bit disappointed.

"Hey, don't worry, just focus on being his friend first, okay?" Cat Noir smiled.

"Yeah! Thanks Cat." Marinette brightened and hugged the superhero. Cat Noir froze and hugged her tightly before leaving.

"That was odd." Marinette murmured to her kwami.

"Yeah... Uh-Marinette... You should be careful talking to Cat Noir." Tikki warned.

"What? Why? I understand why Ladybug should be cautious, but why Marinette?" Marinette protested.

"You've almost brought up liking Adrien as Ladybug. What if he makes links?" Tikki warned.

"Cat Noir's smart but he wouldn't ever think Marinette is Ladybug." Marinette chuckled.

"Don't underestimate him... He could be really obsessed with finding out your identity, you never know." Tikki explained.

"Okay, fine! Now, I have patrol. Tikki, Spots On!"
