It was evening when she found herself in Adrien's room. She had taken a quick trip with Gorilla back home to gather some things. M. Agreste said that whatever she needed he would provide as long as she stayed in the Manor. She had really appreciated the offer but there were certain things she really needed. Also, it allowed her to transform and get to Alya and Nino to tell them that they needed to take over patrols temporarily.

"You said I had a girlfriend earlier?" He asked. He had the most confused look on his face. Like he himself couldn't believe it.

"Correction. Have." She pulled out her phone and opened her gallery. There were dozens of pictures in her phone of them together.

"Kagami"

He looked even more confused at the mane. He began looking through the photos. Many of the pictures there were the four of them in it: Kagami, Adrien Luka and herself.

"Why are most of the pictures the four of us?"

"Well, we used to go on a lot of group dates, mostly double dates."

Adrian nearly always was the one organizing their double dates, sometimes even triple dates with Alya and Nino. He said that their parents preferred for them not to go out alone and with the group dates there were no guards breathing down their throats.

"Used to? Why did we stop?"

"Can't be a double date if one of us is single." She said simply.

It didn't take long for him to read between the lines.

"Princess, you broke up? Are you okay?"

She waved him off as she sat next to him on the couch. It was an amicable separation on both sides. They truly did love each other, but they loved each other enough to realise that they weren't right for each other. They both needed different things and it was easier for them to remain friends. She was heartbroken immediately after, but there was no love lost between them. They shared experiences with each other were such that no one can take from them and for that, there will always be a place in her heart for the musician.

"I'm okay. It happened over a month ago and were still on good terms."

His eyebrows knitted on his forehead. He pulled her head to rest gently on his shoulder. She caught the whisper of a smile on his face.

"As long as you're happy, princess" he said turning on the television.

Her face became hot at the nickname. She was accustomed to hearing the endearment from his lips, but it was at the time where she thought those lips were different from Adrien's. She had only reconciled the two people as one last night so for him to do something so quintessentially Chat-like without the mask was heady to say the least.

"Your Chat is showing" she nudged him

"Maybe." He nudged back with a playful smile and a wink that awoke dimmable butterflies in her stomach. "Since it's you, and you know, it doesn't matter"

Since it was her. He irrevocably trusted her with this part of him, however accidental this knowledge came to her. With that she resolved that once his memories had returned, she would do the same.

"What about Kagami, have you heard from her?"

"No, she hasn't been answering any of my calls. I think it might be because she might not know my number"

"Why not just use my phone?"

"I would, if your screen wasn't broken and being fixed right now."

"I'm sure she'll call soon. For now, let's just watch the movie."

She pushed further into his space, bringing the blanket around them both and snuggling against them. He wrapped his arm around her pulling her closer to him. Her hands played along the soft black and pink yarn of the blanket. It was a disaster of a knitting project that Adrien had made for her 18th birthday. He had tried arm knitting for the first time and got a basic guide from a video online. He was so excited to make something for her after all the gifts she made for him. The loops were uneven, and it was made for his king-sized bed, much too large for her small bed, yet in her eyes it was still perfect.

"What are we watching?"

"A movie that would soon become your favourite, Howl's Moving Castle"

"As in there's a movie to my favourite book?" she asked excitedly looking up at him.

"Kind of. Its an anime movie and from what I know its… different from the book"

At the end of the just short of 2 hours film, Marinette was tearing up and in love with the movie. It may have been loosely based off her favourite book, but it was unique enough to be its own story that had her hooked. And while she could think on the things, she loved about it, there was something nagging in the back of her mind. Why would Adrien show her the movie? Of course, he knew she loved the book and knew the types of movies she enjoyed, however, the overthinking part of her mind thought differently. It was like there was another motive for him to do so. It was as if there was a message hidden deep in it from him her that she missed.

"What time is it?"

She patted around the blanket for her phone while simultaneously patting her eyes dry with the blanket. By this time, she had moved from his shoulder to lying on his lap. She turned on her phone and realised two things looking at the lock screen. Alya messaged and it was close to midnight.

"Late," she replied as she opened the message.

Alya wanted to know when she and Nino could come and see "Nurse Marinette's patient". Stifling a giggling she messaged back that her patient would be well enough to see visitors by the end of the week.

"Looks like Alya and Nino would be coming to visit at the end of the week."

"Really?" he looked really excited as he looked down on her prone form on his lap. His green eyes reminded her of recently polished emeralds at that moment. "I really miss them"

"Tired of me already?" she teased, feigning mock hurt.

"Never, princess" his tone being slightly too serious, "I have 5 months of my life to catch up on… Do they know about…?"

"Not yet. Do you want me to tell them?" she asked with the chat still open. It was his decision in the end.

"Yeah. They're our friends. I trust them and they deserve to know that I have amnesia."

She spent the next few minutes messaging back and forth with Alya standing by Adrien's bedroom door to leave with Adrien beside her. She didn't need to message Nino because the couple were together at a late night showing of a horror movie. She told them everything she knew about his condition up to the last thing he remembers.

Marinette asked if Alya had heard anything about Kagami a question met with shock from the latter. Alya asked if she hadn't been on social media for a while. She hadn't. she didn't want to see the flood of messages from people wanting to know his condition for either concerned reasons or exploitative ones. Alya then sent a picture of a post to her that answered some of her questions regarding the fencer.

"Now I know why she hasn't called," Adrien quirked and eyebrow up and took the outstretched phone from her.

They had broken up yesterday, the day of his attack.

"Under normal circumstances I think I would mourn breaking up with my first girlfriend, but as my amnesia takes up the entirety of our time together, I feel nothing." He stared blankly at the phone a moment more. A smirk built itself on the landscape of his face.

"Guess I'm single" His eyes shifted to a look she was unfamiliar with his hooded eyes.

"G-guess you are" she stuttered. The butterflies in her stomach going off as he leaned against the door and loomed over her small form.

He leaned down and slotted his lips against hers. It was almost a kiss she was used to from him. Almost. It was longer than what they normally shared and he had even moved his lips against hers once; something he had never done. Her breath hitched in her throat at the unexpected action.

"Night, princess" was breathed over her overly sensitive and stimulated lips. She was very conscious of the hand near her hip opening the door she was leaning on.

"G-good night Adrien" she said exiting the room to go to hers, trying to keep her movements looking normal.

What was that?
