"You were being unreasonable." Ladybug stepped away from Chat and defended her decision.

"I just wanted you guys to have a great show. Routines are important." Plagg tried to reason with her.

Chat shook his head. "It's not going to be a great show if you don't just let us do our own thing. We work better if we wing it." Chat spoke with one hand and the other on his hip.

"Okay you prove to me that you shouldn't have a routine and I'll drop it. I know you fell…" Plagg pointed towards Ladybug and she flinched. "Just run through it one more time for me."

Ladybug sighed and rolled her eyes and looked up at Chat. "Alright, one more time." As she walked past him she touched his shoulder and whispered in his ear, while Plagg sat down to watch. "If I fall again, catch me, please." She begged him with worried eyes.

"I would never dream of not, m'Lady." Chat winked at her with a smirk.

Ladybug smiled and went over to put the song on. Puppeteer rang out into the dusty air.

They got into a starting position like Plagg wanted. Where her arm was in the air and she stood in front of him and he held one side of her waist with his right hand and the other he slowly drug down her raised arm till he grabbed the other side of her waist and spun her fast out from him. She slightly stumbled after gracefully spinning out with her hands above her head. Chat cringed and looked at her worried.

She smiled and licked her lips. Chat used his pole to dance and kicked end of it to send it up and over to the other hand, before he did a backflip. Ladybug spun back towards him and he caught her. He dipped her and flung her back up. He spun her out next to him and they began to do some quick movements with their feet before he grabbed her hand and spun her into him. He spun her out towards her silk fabric and he went over to attach his pole to the hook. She clumsily stumble to the fabric and wrapped her right wrist and was pulled up. He jumped onto the pole and held on with one hand, while it yanked him up. They spun after one another. Ladybug flipped her body up the material and wrapped an ankle, letting it go out behind her and she arched her back and held one hand out with her foot behind her and the other tucked in. She spun around with a camera worthy smile. Chat spun his body around his pole with it tucked between his torso and thigh. She rolled her body down the silk and it didn't catch. Chat's eyes grew wide and he jumped off of his pole and rolled along the ground. He stopped on the ground and ran over to her. He stood below her, looking up, as she screamed with her arms reaching to grab anything. He caught her and fell to the ground with her on top of him.

"I'm done." Chat glared at Plagg. "You're gonna kill her."

Ladybug clutched to his chest and she buried her face into him and sobbed. Her legs were on either side of his waist.

Plagg sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. "Show me what you got."

"Give me a break, Plagg! She can't work like this." Chat pointed to a falling apart Ladybug on top of him.

"Alright, tomorrow morning. Be ready." Plagg got up from where he was sitting and went to his office, leaving them.

Chat sighed and ran his fingers through her hair. "You're okay."

"I'm not. I can't keep falling. Every time I feel like I'm closer to dying. It's scary." Her voice came out in quick outbursts.

"C'mon." Chat got up, holding the small of her back and he carried her to his room. She hugged him and pressed her lips to his shoulder with tears going down her face and her body shook uncontrollably.

He sat her on his bed and she looked up at him. "I'm sorry." Ladybug rubbed her eyes and Chat got up to close his door, before removing his mask.

"Mari." He sat next to her and untied her mask and removed it. "It's fine."

Marinette looked up at his and ran her fingertips along his forearm. She bit his lower lip and Adrien looked down at her red lips. He leaned down and captured them with his. She wrapped her arms around his shoulders and pulled him on top of her more. He shifted his legs and held himself above her on his elbows. She wrapped her legs around his hips and deepened the kiss. Her fingers tangled into his messy blonde hair and he sighed in bliss at the sensation. Adrien loved when someone would run their fingers through his hair. He kissed her more rapidly and ran a hand up from her hip to her chest.

He kissed the corner of her mouth to her jawline and down her neck to her shoulder. "How does this come off?" He whispered in her ear, as his fingers skirted along the ruffled cuff that wrapped around her thigh at her hip.

Marinette smirked and raised a hand to unsnap her right strap from her shoulder. Adrien smirked and ran kisses along where the strap had been at her shoulder and she sighed and arched her back. His kisses trailed down the middle of her chest, as his hand held the small of her back.

Plagg rubbed his eyes with one hand. He was exhausted with all of the planning and setting everything up. The show was coming up and they still didn't have a definitative routine worked out. It was all too stressful for him. His phone rang and he picked it up.

"Plagg?" Tikki's voice rang out of the phone again.

"I had them run through the routine again. She fell again." Plagg spoke irritated.

"Why did you have them do it again? I specifically told you not to do that!" Tikki was livid with him. "That's it. I'm coming down there!"

"You really don't have to. We're fine. They're gonna show me their concept tomorrow morning." Plagg spoke into the phone and looked through the window in his office at the hanging aerial gear.

"Plagg…" Tikki sighed. "That's just it. They work better if they improvise. Let them improvise. Stop making them show you what they've got. You know what they've got. They'll be fine. Let them be."

"You're right." Plagg sighed and looked down at the show's ad on his desk. "You're right, Tikki."

"Good. Now I can't wait to see the show, mon cherie." Tikki flirted through the phone.

"I got you a spot right up front." Plagg smiled into the phone.

"Good." Tikki warmly smiled and hung up the phone.

Adrien held Marinette to him under the black sheets and she sighed and cuddled against him with a hand on his chest.

"You're amazing." Marinette smiled and closed her eyes with another sigh.

Chat gave her a cocky grin and he was filled with confidence.

Marinette sat up and smirked at him. "Don't let it get to your head." She hit his chest with a hand.

He rubbed the spot with his hand and winced at her. "Ow…" He chuckled at her.

She smiled, brushed the hair behind an ear, and leaned down to kiss him. He smirked and pulled her on top of him again and she squealed and melted into him.

"Where have you been, Adrien?" Marinette sighed and laid her head on his chest with her palms on either side.

"Near you." Adrien sighed and kissed the top of her head. "Always near you."

Marinette blushed and closed her eyes.
