Chapter 7

Marinette's POV

As my senses come back, I can hear my mother and father talking amongst themselves. I feel a sharp pain in my arm like something was in it. I start to open my eyes slowly and the sunlight hits me hard. I moan at the bright light, and I hear my parents scream for a doctor.

"Nurse! She's waking up! Oh thank God!" My mother cried. As they come running the the door, a couple doctors surround me to check all of my vitals.
"She's very lucky Chat was with her to donate blood. He donated so much though, I was worrying about him during the operation." One of the nurses said. 'Chat? Chat Noir? Blood? Operation?!' I look around the room and I notice my arms were covered with stitches and hooked up to IV's. My eyes look around some more and I notice and vase filled with gorgeous flowers. What really got me though, was a ribbon; a simple green and black ribbon.

"Maman? Did Chat bring those?" I ask weerly.
"Why no, dear. Your 'friend' Adrien did. He could barely leave your side until he and your other friends had to go do something. They said they would be back later to see you again." They way she said friend made my heart flutter.
"He's just a friend, maman." I try to sit up, but the doctors convinved me that if I tried that right now, I could pass out and open my stitches. I look at my mum and dad, afraid of asking the one question that was eating at me.
"What exactly happened..?" They look at each other for a moment, then Tom nods and look back over at me.
"Well, we don't exactly know. Chat was the one that found you with a knife in your hands and called us up. He rushed you to the hospital after that," he started. "We drove to the hospital as we watched Chat move faster than we've ever seen him move, even during fights. We walk into where Chat was talking to the doctor, and he flat out said he would be the blood donor since they didn't have your blood type in stock." My eyes open in shock. 'Chat donated his own blood...to save me? I don't even remember grabbing the knife! All I remember is waking up from a nightmare!'
"He even was willing to risk his identity to save you, he didn't care. It was actually really sweet." Sabine said. That made my jaw drop. 'Chat, you IDIOT! I mean, I understand why you did, but you know under no circumstances, our identities MUST stay secret!' I sigh to regain my composure, and relook at the flowers. They were really beautiful. One thing got me wondering though...

"Did you guys tell Adrien about this? How did he find out?"
"Well, we did tell Alya who probably told him and Nino, sweetie," Sabine said. "How are you feeling?"
"Honestly? I feel stupid and yet I feel no pain." I spoke.
"Well, they did give you some strong drugs when you became stable so you could sleep without feeling pain." Tom chuckled.
"Can I get something to drink?" I asked one of the doctors. They nodded and left. In a couple minutes, they were back with some orange juice. I sip on the straw and enjoy the cool feeling or the drink going down my throat. 'This feels so nice right now...' As I gently sip on it, I can't help but look at the flowers. I take a closer look at it, and there I see Tikki, hiding in the boquet to where they couldn't see her. I start tearing up and look at my parents.

"I'm so sorry..! I didn't mean for this to happen, I just.. I don't know!" I started crying even more, and they rushed to my side and give me a hug. I hug them as tight as I could making sure not to move the IV's as much to where they would pop out. Next thing I hear is the door opening, and all I can see is my friends eyes wide with tears about to fall from their eyes. I smile at them as they rush into the doorway.
Alya and Nino were the first ones to give me a hug, while Adrien just stood in the doorway like he had just woken up from a nightmare. As Nino stops hugging me to pull him over to me, he grabs the bag from his hand and hands it to my parents.

"Here you go, Mr. and Mrs. Cheng. Adrien bought this for you guys since he didn't know if you guy have had anything to eat yet." Nino smiles. I see my parents quickly give him a hug and say thanks, but Adrien's eyes never left me. He walks over to me and holds my hand which makes me blush. 'Ohmygodhesholdingmyhandohmygod!' He stares at me long and hard, making sure I was really going to be okay. He sighs and drops his head to my bed.

"Thank god you're alright, Mari. I was so worried for you," He lifts his head and and my heart was broken. I saw him crying and before I could say anything, he gave me a big hug. "I thought I lost you!" I was so shocked I forgot how to breathe for a moment. I hug him back while I heard Alya take a quick photo and I glared at her. All she could do was laugh and wink at me. 'I'll get her for that later.' The hug with him lasted for a few minutes until he finally releases me, keeping eye contact though. 'My gosh, I will never get over his eyes..'

It was quiet for a long moment, but everyone was smiling. It was only until Adrien cleared his throat when the silence was broken.
"So, uh, Marinette?"
"Y-yeah, Adrien?" 'Great, there's the stutter again. When am I going to grow out of that?'
"When are you able to be released?" he asks.
"Well, the doctors are going to my vitals again in an hour. If they're okay, they will be letting me out today with a prescription for pain, also counciling." He looks over at my parents and asks if he could talk to them outside. They nod and walk outside the room closing the door behind them.

"I wonder what that's about." I asked Alya.
"Oh, I may have an idea." she pretty much sang that teasingly, which made me a little worried. She ignores my look at starts humming "Let it Be" by the Beatles. I start singing along to it, and after a little bit, Nino starts doing a simple beatbox that fit. Yeah, we've done it before, don't even. Shortly after we are done with our moment, we realize Adrien along with my parents are in the doorway staring at us, smiling. I blush slightly at Adrien's wide eyes at mine and Alya's singing.

"A-anyway, what did you guys talk about?" I ask. They just smile at each other and look back at me.
"Well, Adrien just told us something very interesting, and even even offered something," Tom started to say. Sabine finished it, though.
"He has offered to help you get back on your feet. Quite literally. He's going to stay with us for a while, if his father allows it of course. We already agreed." I look at them in surprise.

"Wait, WHAT? A-Adrien?! You're going to stay with us?" I am utterly speechless and look over at Alya who is trying not to die of laughter.

"Yeah, only if it's okay with my father. Is that okay with you, Pri- uh, Marinette?" 'Wait... that's the second time I've heard him do that.. Did he almost call me Princess? Yet, that's only a name Chat knows me by... wait.' I look back over at the flowers which had a green and black ribbon on it, then quickly look back at Adrien.
"It can't be..." I whisper. Apparently only Adrien could heat me because he flinched widening his eyes. "C-can you guys... l-leave me and A-Adrien alone for a moment, please? So we can talk?" They all nod and say they'll be in the waiting room for Adrien to call them back in.

As they shut the door behind them, I swear I could hear him 'gulp' hard.

"Please, Adrien. Sit down." I watch him try to regain his composure and walk awkwardly to the chair next to my bed like I asked him to. He sits, but eye contact is now officially gone.
"So, uh, what d-did you want to talk about?" 'Why is he stuttering now?'
"Adrien, can you be honest with me about two things?"
"Y-yeah, of course!" He fiddles with his pant leg, something I thought I would never see him do. This side of him was kind of cute, to be honest.
"How did you find out about what happened to me?" He starts scowling, like he's trying to think on how he knew. Which made me think that my second thing is correct. No matter how much our identities are supposed to be secret, he would tell me since he almost risked it once to save me.
"A-Alya texted me and let me know. I was worried and ran here, but I already saw Chat and your parents come out, figuring you were fine since they kept saying 'Thank you' to him and giving him a hug. So I went home and told myself I would see you in the morning." he smiled.
"Okay, well that answers the first part. I don't want you to even think about the second part though. I just want you to say the very first thing that comes to your mind, okay?" 'My god, my heart is racing like crazy. I can't believe I'm about to do this. If he's not Chat, then I have some explaining to do.'
"Okay, I promise." I see a small sweat bead fall on his face.
"Okay. What is your Kwamii's name?" His eyes open widely and face goes white.
"W-what do you mean?"
"Now, Chaton, I asked you to be truthful." 'I DID NOT JUST SAY THAT!' I bury my hands in my face to hide my embarassment. I hear nothing until I hear a small sigh. I look up towards him and he jumps out of his chair, hugging me.
"My Lady, my Purrincess," he looks at me caarefully. "His name is Plagg." He smiles as his Kwamii comes out his chest. When the hiding Tikki sees him, she flies quickly over to Plagg for a hug, going fast enough to knock them both onto my bed.
"I knew you would figure it out. I didn't know you were M'Lady, but that's a plus on all levels." He smiles so brightly it's almost blinding.
"What do you mean?" I tilt my head slightly in confusion.
"I'll tell you later, Princess. I'm just glad I could save you." he curtsies down and kisses my hand, which makes my face look like Tikki.
"So, I guess that first bit was a little fib?" he chuckles.
"Well, as a certain someone always said countless times, 'we must keep our identities a secret no matter what.' You did however, catch me quite off guard when you asked about my Kwamii. I guess that means you wanted to say screw it and reveal? What would you have done if I wasn't Chat?" he gives me that cheshire grin. 'Yeah, he's Chat alright.'
"Honestly, I don't know. I put a huge risk for myself. The only reason I asked was being you almost calling me 'Princess'. Along with the green and black ribbon on the vase." I laugh, poking him in the side. "By the way, this is Tikki!" She floats infront of Adrien's face.
"Hello Adrien! It's nice to officailly meet Plagg's new kitten," She looks over to Plagg. "If only we could've told them, it was getting a little painful to watch."
"Wait, you guys knew?!" Adrien and I said in sync.
"Of course, we are able to sense each other. Ever since day one you guys met, we knew." I was a little mad, but I understood. 'My god, we were so stupid!'

Seeing how long our coversation has been so far, I speak up.
"As much as I want to keep talking, we should finish this conversation later, if we keep Alya any longer out there with my parents, she's going to start giving them ideas I don't need them having." I hear Adrien burst out laughing at that point as he gets up to go to the door.
"Before I let them in though, there's something I want to do." He blushes. He leans down ad quickly gives me a kiss on the cheek, like he did that night on the candlelit rooftops. "I have wanted to do that for a while whenever I found out who you were, M'Lady Bugaboo." 'God, those nicknames are going to be the death of me now.' If I were a hundred percent honest with myself, I was slight excited by that. His lips were so soft on my cheek, I didn't want him to stop. He laughs when he looks at my face, letting me know he's going to call them inside.

As they walk back in, Alya tries to get any information she can from me. I kept saying it's personal, but she wouldn't buy it. 'She's so persistant sometimes!' Before she could ask for the tenth time, the doctor finally comes in to check my vitals. After a couple tests, they come back with the results.

"Well, Mr. and Mrs. Dupain-Cheng, Marinette. You are free to go home today," he rips off a piece of paper for my perscription, and then another one to Adrien. "If I understand correctly, you said you were paying for everything, Sir?" My eyes bulged bigger than anime eyes I thought.
"Yes sir, that is correct. They are not allowed to pay for any of this." He looks over at me and winks. 'You may not know it, but you're lucky I love you or I would kill you right here and now, mister.'

I guess I'm turning it into a little silly now, but it kind of needs it after those last couple chapters! I hope you enjoyed it, and get ready for the next one! It's going to be cute with possible extreme fluff and very little sin. The one AFTER that is the almost pure sin! Make sure you rate and follow for when I release a new chapter so you don't miss anything, my little kittens!
