Adrien woke up with a headache and a weight on his chest. He opened his eyes with great effort, to find Marinette lying next to him, her head on his chest, while his own was around her.

Wait how did Marinette get in his own room. Why was his room pink? Hold on! What the hell is going on?

He closed his eyes, trying to remember what happened.

It was his mom's…

And his dad had said some things to him. Some very mean things.

Then he had transformed and got something to drink.

Then he was jumping around the city… ending up on Mari's roof.

And now he was detransformed, and in Mari's room and… where was Plagg when he needed him the most?

"Plagg?" Adrien whispered trying not to wake up Marinette.

"Go back to sleep, chaton."

"Shoot. Mari, go back to sleep, don't open your eyes, I am detransformed."

Mari, got up, looked him in the eyes, and said,

"Mhmm, Adrien. Plagg is sleeping with Tikki. And there are aspirins on the table, for your headache. And I need cuddles." She plopped back down on the bed, and hugged her … Chat Noir plushie, before going off to sleep. (What she was up all night, contemplating the fact that she had kissed Adrien. She was out of energy.)

Adrien on the other hand, just got more confused. He got up and took a couple of aspirins, when he noticed his kwami. Sleeping with another kwami in a small bed. Another kwami who looked a lot like a ladybug.

A ladybug kwami.

In Mari's house.

Mari who looks a lot like ladybug now that he thinks about it. Clumsy-yet-brave-who thinks on her feet Mari was his lady.

A faint memory of Mari telling him that she loved him too.

Oh my god!

He jumped back on the bed, and shook her until she woke up.

Mari groaned before looking at him, "What is it minou?"

"You are my lady!"

"Keep your voice down, my parent's might hear you. And yes I am your lady. And you are my Chaton. Now please come back to sleep. I had a huge panic attack last night after you slept. Been up all night. Plus, you look cute like this, with bed hair and all. Wait, I don't mean that you don't usually look cute. You just look cuter. Am I still talking? Oh my good lord…." Mari mumbled as she pushed her face into her plushie.

Adrien took deep breaths as he looked around her room and… why was his face pasted all over her walls?

"Milady?"

"Yes…" Mari said not looking up from her plushie. If she looked at him, it would just cause her to ramble, and she couldn't deal with that right now.

"Why is my face pasted all over your walls? And you have a plushie based off on me?! How much on a scale of one to ten do you love me?"

Mari woke up, all traces of sleep vanishing from her system.

"Shoot! You are not supposed to see this!" She whined as she reached up to pull down the cut outs from the wall near her bed.

"Don't. It's fine. I love you too." Adrien says as he reaches up, pulls her down and hugs her from behind.

Mari immediately relaxes in his arms.

"Thanks for yesterday night. Though I don't remember much of it. But I am glad that it's you. that you were there with me last night. I might have been thinking some very stupid …" Mari puts her finger on his lips.

"I know. But, you know where to come next time. And I am glad that it is you. You are the one person I trust the most. I am glad."

Adrien presses a small kiss on her head, which was something that was just a tiny step ahead from the hand kisses but, a big step on both their parts.

"By the way Adrien?"

"Hmm?"

"You are a good cuddle buddy." Mari says as she turns in his hands, hugs him and yawns.

"Thanks, that's something I haven't heard before. Haven't slept a wink last night?" Adrien asks as he starts to feel sleepy.

"Mhmm. Are you hungry though?"

"Not now. Maybe after some time. Hey Mari?"

"Hmm?"

"You remember during that fight when I first came here with you as my lady?"

"Mhm."

"I remember sniffing you, and you smelt like cookies. And yanno, as Mari, you always had this sweet smell around you. Not that I sniffed you. I did not!"

"Sure you didn't" Mari smirked.

"Anyways, you were always there, and yanno, I always thought, that I could recognize you anywhere, and you were just right there. Everyday. And I am sorry I didn't recognize you earlier."

"Me too. I am sorry I was stubborn, but this would have been so much easier on both of us."

"We are here now though. That's what's important."

"Yeah, that's what's important." Mari smiles. "You hungry?"

"Hmm. Maybe a little." Adrien admits.

"Could you transform and come through the front door? Maman won't mind you coming in for breakfast." Mari says.

"You sure she wouldn't mind?"

"Hundred percent. Though you might have to wake Plagg up."

"Oh, don't worry about him. Do you have any cheese in your house?"

"It might be there in the bakery."

"Cool."

Adrien gets up, and walks upto the kwamis bed, and pokes Plagg.

"Ugh.. what is it kid?"

"Can you transform me? Need food."

"I need food too kid. What do you think I am?"

"A kwami? And Mari has some cheese in her house."

"You do?"

Mari nods as she looks at the exchange going on.

"Ok fine. But you son, owe me a lot of camembert once we get back. Do you hear me?"

"Yes Plagg." Adrien sighs. "Plagg. Transform me!"

"Still can't believe you are Chat."

"Not even now?"

"It will take some time getting used to."

"You better get used to it Milady." Chat said as he winked, and pressed a kiss on her cheeks before dropping down from the balcony.

Mari meanwhile was a stuttering mess. She looks up when Tikki flies upto her with a smirk on her face.

"And you once told me that you didn't have any good luck."

"Shush you. He will be downstairs soon. I need to get ready." She says as she rubs Tikki's head affectionately.

She was lucky after all.
