(A/N) This took a lot longer then expected...

I written this chapter out when I was half asleep only to read it over again and delete most it. It was done a week ago but then redone just the last few days. I just managed to sneak this in before my Soccer Game.

I'm hoping to post the next Chapter this weekend as I know how the next scene will play out with my two favourite people... sorry no spoilers.

P.S. I changed the cover of the book as I finally got around to drawing a cover, before I used one of my old drawing to tie me over until I got around to this. I hope you like it.

Enjoy!

"Achoo!"

"Are you sure you want to keep patrolling like this? We can stop and rest if you like." Chat asked, leaping over another building while his partner struggled to keep up.

She landed a bit off balanced, reaching her arms out to grab anything that was nearby. The only problem was her cold brought out the clumsy Marinette from within, making her lose more balance then what she thought she had.

"Whoa, whoa!" Chat caught her fall, smiling at her when she glanced up at him. "I got you little bug."

Ladybug's face heated up from the closeness of her partner, or was it from her sickness? She wasn't quite sure at this stage.

Chat locked onto her bluebell eyes, looking at them a bit longer then he normally would. His breathing was steady, fanning her already heated cheeks.

Ladybug, however had stopped breathing, her heart beated way faster then it normally would. his green eyes pierced through her soul, lighting it up from within.

Did she always have this feeling around him?

Chat Noir was the first to break the moment, quickly retracting his hands off from her and rubbing his nape as he glanced into the distance at the lights of the Eiffel Tower.

Memories of the way Marinette looked at him at the zoo was all that was flashing through his mind. He could see that same hurt flash through Ladybug's eyes and it pained him. Her bluebell eyes somehow remind him of Marinette's.

Did they always share the same colour eyes?

Chat cleared his throat, watching his partner perched herself on the edge of the building. "Do you want to end patrol early tonight? I think it would be best if you rested up."

Ladybug waved him off, placing her chin into her hands. "I'm fine Chaton, really."

"You sure?" He asked cautionally, sitting down next to her. "Hawkmoth hasn't struck in days, everything seems quiet. I can handle the rest of patrol on my own."

She looked his way, still resting her heavy head in the palm of her hand. "That's the thing kitty, he hasn't attacked Paris, we should be more alert then normal."

He groaned, placing his own chin between his gloved hands. "Maybe he has given up or he is sick as well?"

A hearty laugh echoed through the air, followed by some strain coughing. "W-We aren't that l-lucky Chat." She choked, her fist covering her mouth as she finished her coughing fit.

"I might not be but you!" He looked her way and grinned. "Your out of action and he still hasn't attacked. I find that luck within itself." When Ladybug's face frowned from under her mask he quickly responded. "Well not completely out of action... but still."

"Touch wood." She pushed her finger tips to his forehead, making him tilt over slightly and bounce back her way.

"Hey! My head isn't made of wood." Chat rubbed the spot she had placed her gloved fingers on.

"You sure about that kitty?" She smiled cheekily at him, flicking the bell on his chest and hearing the ding ring thought the late night air. "With your witty humour I was sure there must of been a log jammed in there somewhere."

He laughed along with her comment. "We wooden want that for battle, now wood we." His eyebrows wiggled from beneath his mask.

"Out with the puns again I see." Ladybug chuckled, resting her head on Chat's shoulder.

Feeling her warm face hit his suit, Chat froze, straighting up from the proximity she was to him.

It wasn't the first time she had shown that kind of affection towards him but the feeling that came with it was new.

A few months ago Chat would of yearn for the attention of his partner, having her this close would of made his heart skip a beat.

But it somehow didn't feel right.

That same unsettling feeling he had when Kagami had leant in for a kiss, his first kiss. Thinking about that now Chat was sure he wanted to share that first moment with Ladybug; one that he had remembered.

But that also didn't sit right when he thought about it now.

Chat relaxed a bit, letting his shoulders fall marginally. Ladybug's head moved closer to his neck from the sudden shift. Her hair brushed against his chin, the strands lightly tickling him by the soft wind blowing on them.

"I miss you." She said suddenly but calmly, making Chat knit his eyebrows together.

"I'm right here LB." He laughed. "I'm not going anywhere."

Blue orbs looked up at him, tilting her head ever so slightly. Her eyelashes flickered a few times before she spoke again. "Not like that silly cat." Wrapping her arm around his bicep she snuggled into him warmly with her eyes tightly shut. "I mean, I just miss you... you know."

A small chuckle rumbled from his throat, looking at the girl peacfully hugging into him. "Elaborate please."

This was a new side of her he hadn't seen, the cuddly side of his partner. He didn't know if it was her sickness or the lack of heed he had given her these last few months, but it was still hard to enjoy this new attention from her.

"Your puns." She started. "The annoying nicknames." A light giggle was heard. "-and... ACHOO!"

"I didn't think you would miss my allergies." He laughed, looking at his red polkadot partner as she rubbed the back of her gloved hand on her nose.

"No I... ACHOO!" Ladybug tried to speak but was interrupted by a fit of sneezes.

"Okay... I think we will definitely call it a night." Chat placed the back of his gloved hand on her forehead when she had sat up from his shoulder. "This cold air is making you burn up."

"I'm fine Chat, I told you." She tried to wave him off, turning her head away from him to sneeze again. "Achoo!"

Turning back his way again he could see how a few minutes of constant sneezing had changed her. Blue eyes surround by blood shot red, her cheeks had lost the colour in them, making her skin pale and warm.

"You're not fine." Chat argued. "You either go home or I'll carry you through Paris until I find out where you live."

Ladybug wasn't in the mood to fight him, knowing full well he had won this battle. On other occasions she would of protested, her height might not be on her side but Chat knew to back down when she wanted to put her point across.

"Fine." She grumbled.

Chat was the first one up from his spot, helping his partner up by holding out his hand. His grip yanked Ladybug up too quickly from her spot before she could get her barings, making her fall into Chat's chest on impact.

Why was she so much more clumsy when she was sick?

"Sorry!" They said in sync, moving away from each other as fast as they came together.

Ladybug glanced away while Chat placed a hand on the back of his head and rubbed it ever so slightly.

She looked back at him breifly, her heart feeling light but her head feeling heavy. "Are you going home?" She questioned.

He side glanced at her, green eyes glowing in the night. "No." He said a little too fast. "Uhh... I'm going to do few rounds. Need to think about some stuff."

Ladybug nodded and without another word took off into the night, leaving Chat Noir to his thoughts.

Marinette wrapped herself in a small blanket on her deck chair, just enough to keep her warm but not cook her completely.

Sleep was so much harder then she envisioned. She wasn't expecting her room to feel like the sun had been camping out while she was gone but it must of.

Her sickness was really taking a toll on her.

Sweat was beading down her skin, the shirt Luka had gotten her was sticking to her body and every inch of her bed felt more uncomfortable the more she tossed and turned.

So outside was her only option.

Luck was definitely not on her side tonight, the bluenette didn't know if she was shaking from being hot, cold or sick anymore, they all seem to give her the same reaction.

When will this nightmare end? She thought.

A loud groan was heard from a few blocks away making the feline superhero twitch his ears in the direction it had came from.

This was the only time Chat could get to himself, thinking things over without anyone being on top of him. Everyone was on his case the last week and it was driving him insane.

He would of been happy to share some of his insecurities with his partner but when she had turned up sick he wasn't about to dump that load on her and make her think on how to approach such a situation.

Instead he got himself stuck in more of a sink hole, having now Ladybug show him affection he always craved for this past year.

Love was confusing, life was confusing.

Another groan echoed through the night sky, having the hero pick it up once again. If it wasn't for his super hearing skills he might of never heard such sounds but it got him curious.

Curiosity killed the cat.

Leaping and bounding from rooftop to rooftop, Chat landed across from a familar bakery, catching the smells it still had to offer.

He hadn't heard the unpleasant groaning for awhile now but it still didn't sit right with him until he checked up on where it came from.

Night vision picked up movement on the balcony across from him, just above Marinette's room.

Chat got his baton out, ready to attack the intruder. Silently he decended to the ground and snuck across the street without a sound.

His claws climbed up the side of the house, reaching Marinette's round window.

As his cat ears peeped into veiw of the balcony, followed by his green feline eyes.

WHAM!

A thud was heard followed by a loud gasp.

"Oh my gosh! Chat Noir, I'm so sorry!"
