CHAPTER 7#

Hello people. My Wi-Fi is still not working so expect a number of new chappies! Anyway, I'll proceed with the story.

"T….talk about what" she asked, scared and fearing the worst.

"About yesterday…." but Adrien paused he didn't want to have an awkward conversation. " You were crying, did anything happen?" he said.

"Noth….nothing, It was just a silly reason, did you hear anything?"

"No, I just heard voices but I couldn't make out what they were saying" he lied. Marinette let out a sign of relief. She looked at Adrien, blushing at the hands on her cheek. How good his voice sounded even behind the mask. She smiled.

"Marinette, by any chance were you injured after you fell in the aquarium?" Adrien asked, curios.

"Um…" she stammered. "I just bruised my back a little" Adrien raised an eyebrow.

"A little? No other injuries?"

Marinette shock her head. Refusing to tell Adrien the truth. Adrien signed and hugged her gently, causing her to blush. He sniffed her hair. Lavender. He then broke the hug when his phone vibrated. He signed and gave Marinette an apologetic look. "Sorry, I have to for fencing" he then gave her a peck on cheek through his mask then left, leaving Marinette in shock.

"What….just….happened"

Ladybug was patrolling the Paris. She swung from building to building as she searched for crime. Nothing. She then decided to walk down the streets. It was quiet. Too quiet. She walked in the dark part of town, it was winding and stank of alcohol. She hated the smell and decided to walk faster when she heard voices. She turned around to see a gang of 3. One had an eyepatch with a knife. The other had a long scar on his face with a gun and the last smoked a cigga and carried an axe. Ladybug gulped as she threw her yoyo, about to leave when someone grabbed her waist. It was the guy with a cigga. He smiled and pulled ladybug towards him. "Oh ladybug, were are you going? We want revenge because you've made Paris safe that there's no more room for us"

"Criminals should all be taking care of" she said as she launched a kick but it was blocked by the scared guy. He smirked and squeezed her leg, causing her to hop and squirm. But she stopped squirming when an overwhelming pain hit her back. The scared man let go of her leg then gave a smirk to ladybug as she dropped to the floor in pain. The trio had fun, kicking her like a football, hearing her squirm each time until they got bored and left her there to die. But ladybug was stronger than that, in her transformation held strength. Enough to get her home. Using her yoyo, she landed on her balcony and de transformed. She collapsed there, the pain was un-describable. It was nice outside. Marinette smiled as she faced the sky, tears in her eyes. Blood on the floor from the stab wound. So this was it for her.

Chat could see Marinette's house, not far from sight. He smiled as he batoned to her balcony only to slip on something red. He looked around to see a body. He approached it to see Marinette. He smirked. "Oh come on princess, are you trying to fool me again?"

Marinette looked at him. Tears in her eyes. "C….chat" she said in a quiet voice. She then reached for his face with a blood stained hand and rubbed his cheek. She gave smile. "Always on time"

Chat's eyes widened. Marinate was really bleeding. He wasted no time and picked her up and rushed inside. Put her in her tube and opened the tap. Without a second thought he examined her back. Almost collapsing at what he saw. The whole thing was purple and red and there was a stab wound, oozing blood. She let out a few tears. 'How long was she going to suffer?' he thought as he rushed to the cabinets and took a first aid kit. He went back to the paralyzed princess and began to cleanse the wound. He washed it and put some antiseptic on it. It stung like hell as Marinette screeched in pain. Chat noticed her pain and gave her kiss on her cheek. Calming her down.

He then prepare for stiches, block Marinette's view so she wouldn't freak out. He then went back to her and covered her face with a wet towel. "Keep it on and think nothing, ok"

Marinette nodded as she enjoyed the wetness on her head. Chat then got the needle as his hand shock slightly. He touched her back and held the needle to the wound. He took a deep breath and….. Stitch….Marinette let out a quiet screech as a stitch was made….and another….and another. She held in her scream. Tears streaming down her face and dropping into the red, dyed water. She couldn't bare it. It was too much pain…..trauma.

Chat did his last stitch. Smiling at his neatness and putting the needle in the bin. He then began to bandage her back which also wrapped around her chest. He let out a sign of relief and let the bloody liquid go. He pulled the towel off Mariette's face to see her in pieces. Crying her heart out. He frowned, he didn't want to see her like this. He got the wet towel and wiped the blood stained on her cheeks and finger then threw it in the bin. He dried her tears with his finger and pecked her forehead. "There, there, princess. It's all over now"

She sniffed as she was carried to her couch. Chat put fresh pajamas next to her and began to clean the bathroom as she painfully dressed. Chat the cleaned the room and balcony of blood and returned to his princess's side.

"Thank you Chat" she said.

"Your welcome princette. I'm glad you are okay" he said and lifted her up and put her in bed. He got in behind her. Marinette faced him with a confused face.

"Chat what are you doing? Are you going to sleep here?"

Chat smiled and patted her head. "My princette is injured. How can I leave you alone when you almost died on me? Your pet would be stranded without you my purr..incess" he said.

Marinette signed and turned her back to him. Chat embraced her from behind. She blushed and panicked. "C….chat, stop…..I…I like someone else"

Chat's heart dropped as to who stole his princess's heart and he wondered why he cared so much. Could it be that he likes Marinette? "Who is it?"

"I can't tell you" she said, blushing.

"Please, I did save your life, you could please tell me" he pleaded. Marinette signed. It's true. Chat saved her life and she couldn't just tell him a crush.

"Adrien" she said as he blushed. How could he not have seen all this? The fight over him with her and Ayla stood in bold letters that Marinette liked him. Even the stuttering and shyness around him. How oblivious could he possibly be? He blushed as he hugged her tighter.

"I don't care. I'm here now so I'll cuddle you as much as I please" he said as he blushed as smiled.

"B….but…."

"Shhhhhhhhhh princess. Sleep little baby" he said as he sniffed her hair and held her tight but not to cause pain. Marinette gave up and got comfortable. "So princess, how did you get stabbed and bruised up?"

"I got bruised by falling down …..um…the stairs and I…stabbed myself by falling on a pen facing upwards" she lied. Chat knew it wasn't true. Those reasons couldn't cause injuries that bad. But he decided not to question her further. He was actually quite sleepy.

Small talk and Chat's flirting filled the air until his miraculous beeped. "Chat you need to go before you de transform" Marinette said but Chat hugged her tighter.

"No princess, I'm going to stay with you"

"But Chat"

"Don't worry" he said as a green glow light the dark room. Adrien hugged Marinette as her back faced him. Marinette wondered who it was. So much curiosity. She tried to sneak a peek but her head was turned back. His grip tightened as he pecked the top of her head. "Don't look princess, I'm hideous"

She blushed as she tried to figure out who it was. She let out a yawn and slowly closed her eyes. She slept. Adrien smiled as he listened to her sleep. She was beyond beautiful. If only she knew her crush was the one cuddling her. Kissing her. He smiled as he slowly moved to her other side and sat next to her. Gently removing the hair on her face. He leaned in to feel her fresh breath. He smiled and gave her soft lips a peck then prepared to go. "Goodnight princess" he said before he became Chat and disappeared in the night.

Leaving an asleep Marinette who dreamed of Adrien.

Her one and only Adrien.

Wellllllllllllll hope you enjoyed.
