That Which Ties Us (гет)

“Alya, what do I do?” Adrien cried, voice and expression betraying the maelstrom of emotions contained within him. It was a miracle he hadn't exploded yet.
“That depends,” Alya hummed coolly. “What do you want to do?”
“What?”
“Do you want to go after her?”
“Yes. Should I?”
“Maybe. Do you like her?”
“Yes.”
“Do you love her?”
...
Finally, definitively, he said: “Yes.”
It has been a long time since Chat Noir and Marinette fell inexplicably in love--just not with each other. But when Tikki and Plagg decide that the separation has gone on long enough, for reasons beyond the fact their Chosen are oblivious, it starts off a chain reaction that only gets worse. With new powers and new hearts to hold and break, Adrien and Ladybug are walking thin lines of friendship and romance with their hero and civilian counterparts.
