@marichatmay : Day 8 - Picnic
-Adrien/Chat Noir knows-
Read Quick Explanation Before Reading: This is where Chat Blanc was supposed to happen but it never did. Yes, this may be comfort fanfic.
----
“So, are you available?” Marinette was asking her friends to go out on a picnic with her through her phone. They all declined since they were all busy that time too especially, everyone mostly just excluded her and her boyfriend, Adrien, fr their plans since they were always busy dating. Of course, they still keep up with their classes, hobbies, and careers but at the end of those, they always go out to restaurants, parks, and even out of the country whenever Adrien has a tour. They were inseparable when they have a chance to be together.
She was already done packing the food and things needed. Now, she just stared blank, thinking about what to do next after all of her friends declined for they have their own stuff going on. She already settled with Adrien that today was their Off Day. Her parents were also away on their vacation cause she talked them out that it was okay they could have their day out without her.
"What if you just go alone, Marinette?" Tikki flew up from Marinette's sling bag to give the girl an idea, "It's a nice day today and a self-date isn't bad!" Tikki said with enthusiasm as usual.
"You know what?" Marinette stood up full of energy again, "Yes! Maybe I do need time for myself as well!" she ran upstairs to change her clothes.
Adrien was bored in their house, plus he missed his girlfriend. So, he decided to go to Marinette's, he thought it wasn't breaking the Off Day if it was Chat Noir who was going to give a visit. He thought that it wasn't a Chat Noir - Marinette Off Day but only an Adrien - Marinette Off Day. He giggled as he thought of his plan, "Oh no, that's the giggle of someone who just found a way to a pot of cheese," Plagg said tiredly, knowing that any second his owner will just transform to bug the love of his life as Chat Noir... interrupting the Kwami's date with its camembert.
"Plagg! Claws out!" Adrien jumped from his bed, still in pajamas, about to transform. "I will see you again, my love!" Plagg kissed the cheese and then got absorbed by the ring, transforming Adrien into Chat Noir.
Marinette wore a mint-blue colored long sleeve fit and flare-styled dress, matched with knee-lengthed boots. Then, she fixed her hair into a ponytail with an orange bow. It was pretty cold outside despite being sunny. It was one of her favorite weathers for she could wear such comfortable clothes without being all sweaty on a sunny picnic day. When she looked at her mirror, she was so happy to see herself looking good with the outfit she picked, twirling her dress while giggling.
"You look cute," Marinette got startled when someone just complimented her out of nowhere in her room where she was supposed to be alone. "W-what, who!? Who's there!?" she grabbed her hairbrush and draw this as if it was a sword.
"Just Paris' most awesome hero," Chat Noir let his half body in, upside down, through the trap door on the roof. Marinette threw the brush at his face, "Ow! What was that for!?" Chat complained.
"Well, it's rude to just butt in someone's room, Chat," Marinette said as she was about to finish preparing herself. Chat Noir was still looking at her, "Even with a compliment..." Marinette said without even looking at Chat like she knew he was about to ask about it.
"So, who are you going out with?" Chat teasingly asked her, knowing that all of their friends are busy and the Off Day, he knew she was probably going out on a self-date.
"I'm gonna have a date with Paris' prettiest girl," she answered with pride as she went downstairs followed by Chat.
He smiled, happy about her cute confidence.
Chat grabbed Marinette's hand and twirled her to his chess. They were like hugging, except Chat just locked them together with his tail-belt." What do you say about Paris' prettiest girl and most awesome hero dating?" Chat flirtatiously asked his girlfriend knowing that she doesn't know he's Adrien yet.
Marinette managed to twirl out of the lock, "Friendly picnic, yes, dating, no," she said as she grabbed the basket then slightly tilted her head back at Chat with an appealing look, "and last time I checked, Ladybug was the most awesome hero of Paris," she said trying to tease Chat as they walked out the building.
Instead of Chat frowning because of the Ladybug-being-more-awesome-than-Chat Noir thing, he smirked. He finds it cute and hot whenever Marinette has this teasing confidence, and whenever she rejects him as Chat, as Marinette or Ladybug. Ever since he got his eyes opened that Marinette was Ladybug, he can easily read her feelings, and he knows that whether acting goofy like Chat or charmingly moving like Adrien himself, his girlfriend love and accepts him fully.
They were in the park and finally set the picnic, ate the food Marinette prepared, and just laid down after.
Chat burped then Marinette looked at him and laughed, "weak," she mocked. Then she burped even louder, and they both laughed hard after. They also do this even when Chat is Adrien, they don't really mind, they're that open.
"Ya know, that made me miss him more," Marinette said gently while she had her eyes closed.
"Who?" asked Chat as he lay on his side to face Mari. He knew he was talking about him, he just loves how Marinette talks about him, he felt giggly and gooey inside.
"Adrien," Marinette answered with a sweet smile. Chat smiled as well.
"Isn't he that ugly model guy?" Chat teased her, knowing she would be sort of offended by it.
Marinette looked at him with a frown, "Just kidding, haha," Chat took it back. Then the girl went back to her calm state.
"Chat..."
"Yes?"
"Do I know you in person?"
Chat got surprised by her question, he asked himself if she possibly knows or how she even found out if possible.
"Uhm, I can't really answer that..." Chat replied, why would she even ask that, she's Ladybug, she knows the rule they're supposed to be following, that he sorta broke.
"Yeah... I shouldn't really be..." she faintly replied. Marinette felt that there was something with Chat like there was a missing piece of a puzzle she couldn't get. She has this deep connection with him not only as a partner in fighting evil but as someone, a person.
"I'd be happy though..." Marinette looked at Chat.
"On what?" Chat's mind was just creating more and more questions, kinda wishing he should've just stayed home.
"If what I theorized is true," She answered. She means if she knows Chat personally in civilian form but Chat thought Marinette already theorized or knew what's true.
Chat couldn't take it anymore, he was too confused and guilty after the small talk about it, "I'm sorry, my Lady!" he said and sat.
Marinette opened her eyes and sat up in shock, "WHAT!?, What did you call me!?"
"My Lady. Sorry, I... sorta figured out, accidentally, who you are," he asked for forgiveness.
"Chat!? What!? For how long!?" she asked with nervousness.
"Hey, hey, relax, it's okay," Chat attempted to relax Marinette.
"No! I-I can't, this can't!"
"Hey..." Chat held Mari's arms, "Look at me,"
Marinette was about to break out crying but she managed to look at him.
"It's me," Chat whispered gently but in a way, Marinette could still hear.
"Who? Wait... Chat, you know it's dangerous,"
"It's me, my blueberry," Chat said.
Marinette cried after realizing that it was Adrien all this time.
Chat hugged her, "Everything's gonna be fine, I promise."
