A/N Surprise! Early update! Oh I don't have much to say so I am just going to get into the chapter!
Enjoy!
Chapter 4 Wet days
One thing Adrien learned about being Plagg was that he had a perfect reason to hate water. Adrien was calmly drinking water from a paper cup when he reached a point where his face couldn't reach the water. Being the sensible person… errr kwami he was he simply tipped the cup to reach the water. He pushed down too hard and water spilled all over him soaking his fur and make him shiver immediately. Flying quickly to a towel near by he rolled on it until he was dry. Yet he still shivered, his head felt heavy and all he wanted to do was curl up and sleep.
That wasn't the only incident on Monday morning, he accidentally touched some of the shower spray when pushing Plagg into the water stream. And got wet again when diving into his bag last minute when Plagg was leaving to go to school, getting wet from the rain.
That one was the worst unlike the other times where he could quickly dry off on a towel or plagg's shirt here he was wet and nothing was around to dry himself off. Shivering he fell into a restless sleep, never truly asleep.
It was like that for a long time until he felt a poke in his side. Whimpering he curled in further. Another poke longer this time. It was warm and he was cold. Next poke he unraveled and grabbed it pulling its hand into a hug.
"Plagg are you okay?" A high feminine voice asked him.
Shivering he pulled the whole body into snuggling position. Had he been fully okay he would have questioned who would be small enough for him to do this.
"You are all wet!" She stressed and lifted him in the air. He shivered and wrapped around the body further trying to get warm. A funny feeling wrapped around his body and suddenly he was laying in a warm dry spot in the bag. With difficulty he opened his eyes and found bright blue ones staring into his. He was about to mutter ladybug when the creature backed up and he saw a red kwami with a black dot on her forehead and one on each of her cheeks.
"Plagg how long have you been like this?!"
How would Plagg answer! Would he be sarcastic, silly? Dang it he wouldn't be silent ether! Whining, he would whine!
"Can you believe my kitten! He almost left me and I had to fly through the rain to get into his bag!" Adrien did his best imitation of Plagg. Her eyes narrow and look right at him like she expected him to say something else. Crap he didn't mention cheese.
"Why didn't you lick yourself dry then?"
Lick himself dry? Oh man Plagg did that!?
What was he supposed to say now!
"I was too weak my chosen didn't give me any cheese this morning!" That was pretty good. Please let her stop asking questions.
The red kwami rolled her eyes and continued.
"Would you like some Camembert than I am sure my chosen can get you some"
Nooooo plagg's gluten habits were going to make him eat that stinky cheese!
He made himself prick his ears up that he didn't realize were pinned to his head. Then it hit him this was Tikki, ladybug's kwami. Plagg had mentioned it after Saturday's battle.
"As much as much as I would love cheese right now me being sick will only damper its taste, cure me Tikki so I can taste my beloved Camembert again!"
Her eyes softened and she wraps her body around Adrien to warm him. Her body began to buzz a bit vibrating his tiny body. Sleep overcame his body and he snoozed easier next to the little bug.
Once the black kwami had fallen asleep Tikki stopped her healing buzz and started drying him off with a handkerchief. Grumbling to herself she mused over the conversation they had. Sure Adrien had played a good Plagg, there were a few things that he said that were incorrect. Plagg would ask for the cheese even if he was sick. He claimed that its taste wasn't affected by sickness. Once finished drying him she pet his forehead and rubbed his back. He started purring, it was rough and didn't have a constant pace giving Tikki the knowledge that he was sicker than she originally thought.
"Oh Adrien what do I do with you?"
Petting him for awhile Tikki thought about what to do. She decided to tell Marinette that she was going to take "Plagg" to master Fu and have the real Plagg take them there. Gently she removed herself from Adrien's grip she went to fly out of the little purse. Adrien whined and whimpered from the lack of touch. It pulled at her heartstrings, the boy was so lonely that when he got any sort of touch he yearned to keep it. Forcing herself to ignore it she peeked out to see if Marinette was alone. Satisfied she could show herself she flew out.
"Marinette it is confirmed that Plagg and his chosen have switched bodies."
"What can we do?" Marinette stresses.
Tikki looks back into the bag.
"He's sick, he was wet and cold when I found him, I don't think Plagg has noticed yet."
"Okay so I can take-"
"No I will have Plagg take him, unless you want to share your secret identity"
Marinette looked torn, she let out a sigh. Opening the bag she peered in and looked at the tiny cat. He shivered at the sudden burst of cooler air.
"Make sure he gets better. Take him to Plagg now."
Tikki nodded and gripped the sick kwami in her arms. Looking back at Marinette once she took off. Flying down the hallway she hid in lockers and backpacks until she saw "Adrien" walking out of a classroom. Giddy to talk to Plagg and heal Adrien she dove into his bag and made a high buzzing noise. His posture stiffened and he glanced into the bag. He did a double take and rushed into a bathroom.
"Tikki" he hissed and the little bug flew out arms crossed.
"What are you doing away from your chosen?!"
"Nice to see you too. Tell me why Adrien is sick."
Plagg made a dumb face and looked back into the bag. Inside was a shivering sick Adrien. Plagg picked him and cuddled him close to his chest.
"He must have gotten wet earlier and didn't dry off. Dumb kitten didn't he think about why I didn't like water?"
Tikki just sighed and shook her head.
"You didn't tell him that you get sick if you're wet for too long!?"
"No because unlike him I could take care of it as soon as I got wet"
Tikki just slumped in defeat.
"Come on let's go take him to Master Fu"
At that moment the bell rung.
"Can't this kitten has a very strict father who will pull him out of public school if he misses too many classes."
"Fine but we are going right after classes end"
Tikki flew back into the bag and cuddled up to Adrien to keep him warm. He stopped whimpering as soon as she touched him and curled around her for her warmth.
