reading reveal fics is fun until marinette says she doesn’t want to reveal her identity to chat because he’ll be “disappointed” it’s her

REASONS MARINETTE DUPAIN-CHENG HAS GIVEN FOR NOT WANTING TO REVEAL HER IDENTITY TO CHAT NOIR;

• It’s the Rules.
• It’s Not Safe for Them to Know (Yet)
• It Could Put Her Family and Friends- THE PEOPLE SHE LOVES VERY, VERY, V E R Y MUCH- in Danger.

Insecurity is not a reason here, because Marinette isn’t insecure with Chat Noir. Not like she gets with Adrien, who intimidates her a little because she has a crush on him. Marinette trusts Chat, and feels free to be open and honest with him (I mentioned this once before, but Marinette has never lied to Chat in all of Season 1, that I can recall. As Ladybug OR herself. She might tease him sometimes like friends do, but she’s always COMPLETELY honest with him)
