The person who searched this, if your name is Adrien... I have a feeling you should know this. MARINETTE IS LADYBUG, YOU ARE CHAT NOIR AND YOUR DAD IS A BALDY JUST LIKE YOU: HAWKMOTH. ASPIK IS BALD. see like father like son. Anyway, if you are Gabriel Agreste, I want you to know. She is not just an assistant. SHut UP β ok. if you are a stranger hello and goodbye. I will never see you again.
When Adrien Agreste forgets to use his brain cells AND OPEN HIS EYES to see the love of his life Marinette in front of him, so he doesn't see that he loves her and spouts this bs phrase (please Adrien look at how she is your safe place and how happy she makes you and also HOW SHE WOULD LOOK IF YOU SLAPPED A LADYBUG MASK ON HER FACE)
