Marinette was tapping her fingers on her desk as she tried to think. She was working on English homework and her brain was flat lining. She had hoped that Chat coming over would give her more inspiration for the short story but there was nothing, especially since the hero was passed out on her chaise. She gave a sigh.
"Murr-net," Chat mumbled against the pillow.
"Yes, kitty?" She looked over to find his eyes still closed. "Are you asleep?"
"Don't.. Don't go over there," he mumbled some more.
"Why not?" She asked, rolling her chair closer to him.
"Danger. There's danger."
"What kind of danger?"
"'Kuma."
"But I should go find Ladybug!"
"No! Can't!"
"Why not?"
He stretched his arms out, reaching for the dream version of her, "Always gotta protect the princess."
"Always, huh?" She gave a soft smile.
"Always," his mumbles were quiet until he stopped talking completely.
Marinette reached to run a hand through his hand, "You're always protecting me, Kitty. With and without the mask."
She suddenly was struck with a story idea and she wheeled over to her computer. She typed as much as she could until her eyes were betraying her. She yawned and looked over to Chat, who was still completely passed out. She smiled sleepily and walked over to the chaise. She gently shook him awake.
"Princess?" He blinked his eyes open.
"Yes, Kitty. Come lay in my bed with me. It's more comfortable."
"I fell asleep?"
"Yeah. You've been out for a couple hours."
He rubbed at his eyes, "I'm sorry. I've just been worked real hard this week."
"It's okay. Come cuddle with me in my bed."
"I should go."
"You can stay," she said. "Please stay."
"Okay, Princess."
She led him to her bed and curled up next to him, "Thanks for always protecting me."
"You mean, purr-tecting," he yawned.
"I liked dream you better."
"What?"
"You were talking in your sleep. Said you always had to protect me."
"I do have to protect you. You're the princess."
"Thanks, kitty."
She curled closer to him and he wrapped his arms around her. She felt safe in his arms and was able to fall asleep quickly.
