"W-what are you doing here Chat Noir?" She asked, starting to wake up completely while analyzing his expression that was kinda hidden since his head was turned to the outside.
"I'm sorry, I just wanted to come here" He said and smiled at her, he wasn't to sure what he wanted from her but just hearing and seeing her was soothing for him. he started to sway his leg back and forth, not looking at her since he didn't know for sure if she would let him be here.
"Is it because of your shoulder?" She asked him, but he doesn't answer since he still wasn't sure if he should be here or not and she got a little impatient with him. She walked up to him, grabbed him by the arm and pulled him gently down and to the bed. She got down on her knees and started to feel awkward. She can't just strip him like this even if it was to check his shoulder, he looked at her and understood what she was thinking and unzipped the zipper.
He pulled down the costume over his injured shoulder, letting Marinette check it for him now. She felt a little embarrassed since she was after all touching a boy and she can't believe she didn't feel this way last time. She noticed the bandage had gotten changed but it had gotten dirty again, so she started to gently take it off and Chat Noir jumped a little from the pain.
"I'm sorry, i'm trying to go slow." She said and smiled apologetic to him and continued slower then before to unwrap his shoulder. He was watching her the whole time, he started to feel bad for making her do this and even more since she had already helped him before. But he knew she wouldn't let him leave like this, which was what he really liked about Marinette. She would help people that needed her help even if it would be hard or annoying.
"You didn't get hurt before by the akumatized persons attack right?" He asked her and she looked at him, she blinked and it took her a few seconds before she realized he meant about Marinette and she smiled to him but then it faded a little as she never saw what happened to Adrien after they separated a little.
"No I didn't, but I'm a little worried about the guy I was with" She said her smile turning into a troubled one, he looked at her and knew she talked about him. His face turned a little red and he looked away, he can't tell her he's okay and that he's right here since he's Chat Noir right now.
"I saw him before, he was okay and then got away" He mumbled, and saw Marinette shine up and then smiled happily and then she had finally unwrapped his shoulder and looked at it. The cut looked clean and she saw that he had already started to heal nicely so she didn't need to worry about it, she stood up and went to get a new bandage leaving Chat alone for a short while.
He looked around in the room, noticing the pictures of him as Adrien on the wall. Most of those pictures was from magazine, he was looking at them and noticed that she had a lot of different pictures of him. He don't understand why she was handing them on the wall but he felt kinda happy, he wanted to tease her a little right now for it but if he did she might throw him out. And he didn't want that to happen.
She soon returned and looked at him, he was starring at the pictures she had of Adrien on the wall an she dropped the bandage and ran there starting to rip them down in embarrassment and he laughed out loud in the room. Marinette stopped in her track watching Chat laughing at her, she put away all the photos really quickly and she picked the bandage up without looking at him.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to laugh at you but your reaction was pretty funny. Is that your prince?" He asked teasing her, she still didn't look at him. She had gotten a little shy now because of that, so when she started to patch him up again she tried her best not to touch him so much. Causing him to get conscious about everything she did, how she moved carefully and slow to make sure he didn't feel pain.
"He's my classmate. . ." She answered not giving away anything about him, he wanted to know what he meant to Marinette. But he didn't ask anything since he had already caused enough awkwardness for her as it is, and even though he wanted to tease her and try to flirt he didn't want to make her more nervous then he already have with laughing at her a little before.
Once she finished he pulled up the costume again and zipped it, it was awkward with the sound of it and she looked away. He smiled and sat down in front of her.
"So he's your classmate but you have photos of him on the wall?" He asked not able to resist the teasing, he just liked to tease someone when he's Chat Noir.
"W-well h-he's my f-friend, though he barely notices me until recently." She said looking at the floor, he got confused to why she would even think that he hadn't noticed her until recently. He had been trying to start a conversation with her several times but she always started to stutter and say things he barely understood, but he had enjoyed each time they were able to hang out or talk without her stuttering.
But recently he had tried even harder and she had finally been talking to him normally and they've been able to hang out more then before.
"It was m-mostly because of me thought, He must have found me weird for stuttering whenever he talked to me and since I even said things I myself didn't understand I never blamed him" She said, starting to get a little depressed by her own words. She always did that around him and it was so hard to control the words when her heart was beating like crazy and her mind became a roller coaster.
"Are you sure he had never noticed you?" He asked looking at her, he couldn't believe it himself that she thought that. He had always wanted to talk to her like her friend Alya did, and he had often tried to talk to her and do things with her. He wanted her to be comfortable around him, but it always took time before she could speak normally around him.
"Well, whenever I tried to talk to him, give him things or ask him anything something happens and I've never been successful to do so. Or when he spoke to me I just turn into a mess with words which probably made him uncomfortable so I guess it wouldn't be weird if he didn't think much about me" She said, she loved Adrien but the way she was just made it so hard for her to talk to him.
"That's not true, he really enjoys talking to you. He've always wanted to talk to you like you do with your friend" Chat said getting surprised over her words, how could she believe he didn't care for her or found her weird and didn't want to talk to her. It's true he was confused by her stuttering and lose for words but he's never hated it nor her for it.
"How can you know that?" She asked really suspicous of him, she looked at him weirdly and he got really nervous. What if he had given him away, he started to look around him not knowing what to say.
"It sounds like you're speaking like you're him" She said and giggled "I guess you're just saying that to cheer me up, beside he've been avoiding me now so I guess it won't really matters. even though I tried to make him depend on me, I guess it was a little to much" She said and smiled softly before sighing and looking out the window, he hadn't wanted to bother her or make her dislike him for depending on her. He had never realized she could feel like that.
He wanted to apologize to her but he can't as Chat noir, he smiled and grabbed Marinettes hand and she looks at him and he looked at her.
"There is no way he could dislike you or find you annoying because you're an amazing person, and I bet he has a lot to think about but he really wants to be your friend. So believe more in yourself okay?" He said and she laughed a little and smiled at him, his heart racing faster at her sight. He was watching her as she started to cheer up, he smiled at her and stood up and she waved to him knowing he was leaving.
He promised her, even if he didn't say it, that he would talk to Marinette tomorrow and make her realize how much he actually cared. Even if he loved Ladybug and his heart might never heal properly, he wanted to be close to Marinette and make her know he cares for her. He was feeling better after visiting Marinette and was kinda happy right now as he almost reached his mansion.
He entered his own room and looked around before transforming back to normal and let Plagg come out and took the cheese out for him as he started to drool at the sight. Adrien took a glass and filled it with water and started to drink it
"I guess you can't resist her, It's a miracle you didn't try to hug her I guess" He said causing Adrien to choke on the water and turning red as he coughed a few times and then glared at Plagg that just whistled as if nothing had happened.
"I can't argument against you, but can you please stop saying it?" He said before he changed to pajamas and went to bed. He would probably never have the guts to just hug her, and then his memory filled with the hugging scene with him and Marinette and his face turned red and he turned to his side and tried to sleep instead of thinking about her which was really hard to do and it took a while before he got sleepy. While Plagg had gotten full and now was lying beside him on the bed.
