What if his eyes were open Chapter 9: Promises and Moving on- part, a miraculous: tales of ladybug & cat noir fanfic

A/N: What day is it? What week is it? What year is it?

Ok, so I wanted to do something in the story. I wanted to make little chapter series as I like to call them. Basically, I wanted to put a little labels for the chapters and then they reappear later in the series. They will help the story with its romance. Look out for chapters that don't just say "chapter 30."

Just a few announcements:

Also, we are nearing 50 follows on WIHEWO (what if his eyes were open). If indeed this gets 50 followers, I will post a Q and A .

I'm mostly doing this because I feel bad for responding to the reviews at the beginning of the story but not now.

So, if you a guest, put a name or user you would like to go by so you know it's you in responding to. If you put guest than I will put what you said after "guest" so you know it's you.

The Q and A is just me responding to your comments. You can also ask questions about the future of the story. I have it all planned out. You can also ask some personal questions.

And maybe even ask me questions about MLB if you are new to the fandom or you just want to see me write a big rant about Adrien's cluelessness.

That will be next chapter if this reaches 50 followers or not.

That's it for now so, story time.

"Princess?" Marinette heard the voice coming from the couch and she turned to look at him. Tikki quickly went to hide.

"Chat? Omg, Chat Noir!" Marinette went closer to him.

"What happened. I feel a little groggy and I can't remember what happened." Chat explained as he tried to sit up.

"What's the last thing you remember." Marinette played a long as if she wasn't just arguing with a kwami.

"I remember- I-" Chat said. His eyes were wide as he recalled the events.

Marinette started to lean in but stopped. Chat started to do the same. Chat leaned in closer and started to close his eyes. He didn't care about the pain in his side. The pain in his leg. His pounding headache. Nope, he savored the moment with his lady as if it was his last. Marinette did the same and they kissed. Marinette put her hands to Chat's cheeks which lost a little color because of the blood loss.

The slowly pulled away and Marinette out her forehead against Chat's. "Thank you for saving my life." Chat said. Marinette was taken. She did didn't she. But did he know that she transformed?

"It wasn't entirely me. I had Ladybug help me bring you in my room to latch you up. Speaking of, I need to change your bandages and check on the stitches."

"You stitched me up?" Chat asked. He kind of sounded surprised.

"Yes, yes I did." Marinette said it. She was proud of her accomplishment. There was silence. Marinette grew sad again as Chat fiddled with his finger.

"Your kwami is doing the best he can to heal you. It's seems the bleeding has stopped. I'm going to grab something for your Kwami before I change the bandages. Anything in particular I should get?" Marinette went to the trap door that lead down stairs.

"Cheese. Camembert in particular. Maybe some bread." Chat said.

Marinette nodded and went downstairs.

Chat Noir:

Chat's eyes were slowly opening. Everything seemed fuzzy. He heard notices in the background. Yelling. It hurt Chat's head. His head throbbed. He felt dizzy and all he felt was pain.

"I'm really sorry Mari." Chat heard a small voice say. Could it be Tikki? He thought to himself. He felt more pain in his already painful head. Ok, I thinking.

"Your sorry." A harsh voice said back to the Kwami. Marinette? "This is all your fault. If you didn't exist, then he would be fine. If you didn't keep on saying that silly excuse that I'm the 'chosen one,' then maybe he wouldn't be on his way to deaths door. Why the hell are you..."

"Princess?" Chat groaned before Mari could finish that sentence.

"Chat? Omg, Chat Noir!" Mari came closer to him as he painful sat up.

"What happened. I feel a little groggy and I can't remember what happened." Chat explained as he tried to sit up. He started to feel dizzy. He looked at his leg and saw it bandage with blood on it. What happened? He thought to himself.

"What's the last thing you remember." Marinette asked. Chat knew she was just trying to distract me so I wouldn't realize she was arguing with her kwami.

Chat tried hard to remember. It hurt but he had to know what happened. An image popped into his head.

He was in a dark alley. He was limping until finally collapsing onto the ground. He got stabbed in his side and leg. A pink light surrounded him. The Miraculous Ladybugs didn't heal him. He saw Marinette run into the alley. Marinette detransformed and went to the alley where she saw the Miraculous ladybugs went into.

"Chat! chat noir!" She said. "Chat, chat you have to stay with me."

"I'm sorry." Chat closed his eyes his eyes but he could still hear Mari.

"Chat! CHAT! No, no no no! I love you!"

Chat came back to the present. He looked at Marinette wide eyed. "I-I remember."

The slowly pulled away and Marinette out her forehead against Chat's. "Thank you for saving my life." Chat said. Marinette was taken. She did didn't she. But did he know that she transformed?

"It wasn't entirely me. I had Ladybug help me bring you in my room to patch you up. Speaking of, I need to change your bandages and check on the stitches."

"You stitched me up?" Chat asked. He wasn't really surprised but he sounded like he was.

"Yes, yes I did." Marinette said it. She was proud of her accomplishment. There was silence. Chat was waiting for Mari to say something. He started to fiddle with his fingers when she spoke up.

"Cheese. Camembert in preferably. Maybe some bread." Chat said.

Marinette nodded and went downstairs. Chat had a sigh of relief. Tikki wasn't around until she phased threw the floor. "Omg, Chat! Thank god your alright."

Chat smiled and chuckled. "Sound just like Marinette"

"Well she's happy your alright. You should have heard the way she yelled at me." Tikki said as she looked down in disappointment and sadness.

"I did." Chat noir confessed. Tikki looked at him with her mouth opened. "I didn't say anything because, well you know." Tikki nodded and waited for him to continue. "She said that if you didn't exist then I wouldn't be here. If she wasn't your owner then I would be fine."

"There are a million outcomes of you two owning the miraculous. Like who knew you would fall in love with Ladybug. Another future you may have been you being one who kept rejecting her for Marinette. She would have been in love with you. Who knew that you would sacrifice yourself for her." Tikki said. A million possibilities.

"And in one I would be dead." Chat said, kind of jokingly.

"Don't even. Marinette was a wreck." Tikki shook her head at it.

"Is it true, that if I lost her then she would want me to move on." Tikki nodded but didn't dare look at Chat.

"It is. She would even tell you as her ghost self. The miraculous give you the power to give a message to someone you love or a miraculous holder before you go to where all dead people go. It happened once. A former Ladybug was killed and told their partner to move on. He couldn't and he...he..."

"Oh." Chat said, filling in the blanks.

"Marinette is coming up. Gotta hide. Bye." Tikki hid somewhere on Mari's desk as the trap door opened.

"I found some Camembert. I'm making more bread since we ran out of our personal stash." Marinette said as she grabbed a little table to put next to the couch. She placed the cheese on it and sat near Chat's legs on the couch. "I'm glad your alright. I didn't know what I would have done if you...umm...died."

Chat tried to avoid her eyes. He couldn't see the sadness of his condition on her face. He finally gave in and looked into them. "I just want you to know that if... if I wasn't ok..., if I died," chat started to say. He couldn't imagine what she would do if she lost him. He couldn't imagine what he would do if he lost her. "I would want you to move on." Chat finished.

Marinette changed her gaze to Chat's bandage in his leg. It stopped bleeding but still hurt. "I would do it for you but I could never fully move on." She said in a soft voice with her eyes closed.

"Knowing that you tried is enough." Chat smiled and painfully reached a hand out and softly turned Mari's head to face him. Her glossy bluebell eyes had tears in them. She blinked and one fell. Chat caught it with his claw and whipped her face so no trace of the tear was there but the memory that it was.

"If I died, I would want you to move on." Marinette said. She broke the gaze again. Chat knew that she didn't want to see him cry.

"No, never." Chat said, shaking his head. Marinette turned her head and looked into Chat's eyes, her mouth open. "I could never move on from you."

"Why not. You seemed to move on from Ladybug pretty quickly." Chat was taken back from what Marinette just said. He technically didn't move on from her but, he loved Marinette. He realized that she was better then the Ladybug side of her. He actually did move on from her. He just didn't know if he really did. Marinette is so much better then Ladybug because when she is a civilian, she doesn't have all those powers that Ladybug has but still has the same traits of her.

Chat opened his mouth to speak. "I-I-I" he couldn't say anything. Marinette frowned and looked down at her feet.

"You didn't did you?" She said with sadness in her voice. It's only been a few days of them being together and it felt like years. It's been so short but it felt like so long. That's how much they love each other.

"No, I did. I moved on from her." Marinette's eyes opened wide as she lifted her head a little. She paused before looking into Chat's eyes. Marinette had tears forming in her eyes. "I found someone better. Your better than her because you don't have the powers she does. You are brave but you don't have the powers so you're braver. Your always strong and you could always crumble in defeat and give in but you don't. Ladybug has to be strong for Paris. Your strong because you are. Do you know why I sacrifice myself for Ladybug? Because I know it's the only way I could save you. She is the only person that can fix the damage caused by and akuma and purifying the akuma so then it causes no harm. I love you more then anything in the world Princess." Chat competes his declaration of love.

Marinette blushed at the words. "I love you too." She said with a sweet smile. "I need to change your bandages." Marinette said. She got up and grabbed a roll of bandages off her table and some rubbing alcohol to make sure the wounds don't get infected.

Marinette asked Chat to try to hold his leg up. He complied but he could only hold it up for a few seconds. Marinette held up his leg and took of the bandage and checked the stitches.

"Well, how is it doc? Tell me the truth." Marinette laughed and took a closer look.

"Looks good. Seems like the wound stopped bleeding. I'll take the stitches out tomorrow." She rewrapped the leg with a new bandage. Marinette went to replace the bandage on his hip. "Hmm..." Marinette inspected the wounds but it seemed mostly healed.

"What is it princess?" Chat asked.

"It's seems the stab wound on your side is mostly healed. I think it's time for me to take the stitches out." Marinette grabbed some tweezers. "I don't know if this will hurt so be prepared." Marinette warned.

"Are you kidding, I'm always ready. I'm a superhero, remember?" Chat said. Like he didn't experience pain. He got stabbed, twice. He felt pain physically and emotionally. With his mother gone and father rarely around, he always felt alone. I guess it's better now that he got the Chat miraculous.

"Ok then. Here we go." Marinette didn't rip it off like a bandaid. She carefully took them off. Chat sucked in a huge amount of air as he felt the stinging pain of the stitches. Marinette noticed. "Sorry."

"No need to apologize. You're the one saving my life after all."

"And I have to say, I think I did a damn good job." She did. She stitched him up perfectly. Chat suspected Tikki had something to do with it but didn't care. "And done. I'll take the rest off tomorrow."

"Thank you princess."

"No need to thank me. I would do anything for you my prince. Ok, I'm going to leave you alone so you can give your kwami some food and recharge. I'll be back in a few minutes." Marinette said as she went downstairs.

"Ok, see you in a few minutes." Marinette went or the trapdoor and walked down the stairs.

"Yup, see you in a few minutes."

A/N: ok, so my life is ruined. I may or may not have written the next chapter and forgot to save it. The next chapter being part 4 and not the Q and A .

I'm telling you this in case I'm late for the next update. The update being Part 4.

I can't believe I did that. Why did I do that? Why did I almost kill Chat Freaking Noir!? Well, I took Tess and Uncanny's words to heart. (If you don't know what I'm talking about then watch the New York special ) I wanted to put the cute couple in a seriously dangerous situation so then their love will grow. And also because I love reading fanfics where Chat gets hurt and I wanted to write one since it seems to make readers fangirl, or fanboy, like hell so...you are welcome.
