Most Parisians try to restrain emotions, so they won't be akumatized. Some failure is inevitable, but Ladybug always rights everything; while an akuma rages, it is safe for the rest of Paris to feel.
(How much does Chat Noir hate that Ladybug is right about not trusting one another or their allies with secrets like theirs?)
Ladybug needs Chat Noir to be her friend and partner first and foremost. Since Marinette barely wants to be Adrien's friend, he won't try to be anything more.
("Quit monkeying around, Kim." "Hold your horses, Max." "Nino, your house is small enough you could wear it as a backpack."
Adrien needs Marinette to be his friend before anything else—instead of anything else. Chat Noir knows all about sacrificing what one wants for what their city needs, not that Ladybug was ever in love with him anyway.
("If I found out who Ladybug is, she would skin me alive. Three different ways, just for variety. I am not that curious, Chloé.")
As long as they keep their hearts buried and their secrets silent, they will keep their city safe. Right?
("I don't get to feel things, Chaton. I can't afford that luxury.")
