Later that day, Marinette ate a late lunch with Alya at a local café.

"I got a new scoop on Ladybug for my blog and it's blowing up!" Alya exclaimed as the girls ate.

"Lemme see!" Marinette said excitedly. Alya showed her a video of Ladybug and Cat Noir swinging around this morning and then them talking. Marinette felt her ears heat up and begin to sweat.

"Isn't it cool? They-Hey are you okay, Girl?

"Y-Yeah! I'm amazing, but I remembered that I have something to do tonight. I have to go, here's the money for the linch. Sorry." Marinette stammered.

"You always have some excuse!! Ugh, fine. Bye, Mari." Alya sighed before Marinette ran off.

-

"Cat Noir!"

The cat spun around, surprised to see Ladybug so early to their 'meeting.'

"What are you doing here so early? Couldn't stay away?" He asked with a wink.

"You know the Ladyblog, right?" Ladybug asked him pointedly.

"Yeah... That girl, Alya runs it. What about it?" Cat Noir stood rigidly in front of a table.

"Well she got very detailed footage of us this morning. Our entire patrol was posted." Ladybug fretted.

"So..?" Cat Noir chuckled, confused as to why she was so worried.

"They might find out our identities!" Ladybug yelped.

"It wouldn't be so bad. But I see your point. What do we do?"

"Maybe we arrange a different meeting spot, I'm afraid we no longer have privacy..." Ladybug sighed.

Oh wait... NOT LIKE THA-

"Do my ears decieve me?! Does my Bugaboo want our meetings to he provate? Why? Do you plan anything? Hmm?" Cat Noir wiggled his eyebrows. Ladybug turned red.

"Cat!! Not like that!" She chuckled a bit. Ladybug then realized the atmosphere, candles lit the edges and Cat Noir stood in front of a table, overlooking the Eiffel Tower as the sun set.

"Wow, this is beautiful. I thought this was going to be casual!" Ladybug cooed.

"What do you expect? I'm a Fancy Cat." He purred, pulling out a chair and gesturing her to sit. Ladybug smiled and sat down, gazing at the spaghetti in front of her. Her eyes lit up as she saw it and looked up at him.

"You remembered spaghetti was my favorite dish! I thought you were drowning me out!" Ladybug exclaimed, surprised.

"I never drown you out, all your words mean a lot to me." Cat Noir purred. Ladybug blushed a bit and began to eat. It was delicious!

"So, tell me about yourself." Cat Noir offered.

"Cat..."

"Don't worry, I'm not trying to figure out your identity. I just want to get to know you." Cat Noir said softly.

Ladybug smiled and went on, telling him small details.

"Well, I like baking. I love designing. I'm a babysitter to this adorable little girl. I'm in High School. And... I'm in love." Ladybug murmured the last part.

Cat Noir pricked his ears.

"Ooh, juicy secrets! With whom?" Cat Noir inched forward.

"Well... You probably know him. H-He's famous." Ladybug began to turn bright red.

Cat Noir turned red.

"G-Go on..?"

Ladybug took a deep breath.

"His name is A-"

And Ladybug was cut off by an earsplitting screech.
